MUMBAI: In its continuing quest to provide broadcasters with traditional and new media solutions, systems integrator Adore Technologies Singapore has selected Riedel’s Artist digital matrix intercom solution for Accenture’s state-of-the- art webcast facility in Gurgaon, India.
“Riedel is known for world-class network and communications products, and its Artist intercom system is a great example. With its outstanding feature set, intuitive interfaces, and scalability, Artist was our only real choice when proposing a robust solution to Accenture,” said Adore Technologies COO Rajesh Yadvendu. “We are pleased to align once more with Riedel on this project, and we’re greatly reassured by the high level of service that we have come to expect from the Riedel team.”
The Riedel Artist systems will equip Accenture with an advanced modular communications platform that delivers the power and versatility to address the project’s complete gamut of intercom requirements.

In addition, intelligent use of bandwidth harnesses the potential of a 100 Gigabit Ethernet IP network.
“Adore is a renowned brand in the broadcast and systems integration space with a wealth of experience in system integration,” said Riedel’s director – APAC Cameron O’Neill. “We are proud to have been given the mandate by Adore to equip Accenture’s Gurgaon facility with Riedel’s Artist Intercom systems, and we’re looking forward to this exciting partnership as we increase our level of engagement in India.”

NEW DELHI: Adobe has unveiled a major education-focused investment to expand access to its AI-powered creative and productivity tools for students in India, as the company deepens its alignment with the government’s skilling and creator-economy ambitions.

The package includes software access, structured curriculum, training modules and industry-recognised credentials.
The programme supports the government’s ‘Create in India’ vision and the Union Budget 2026 goal of generating two million jobs in the animation, visual effects, gaming and comics (AVGC) sector by 2030.
Working with the government, Adobe said it will make its AI tools and learning resources available at no cost to 15,000 schools and 500 colleges equipped with Content Creator Labs.
Shantanu Narayen, chair and ceo of Adobe, said the move would expand creative opportunity for millions of Indian students while accelerating the prime minister’s vision for a digitally skilled workforce.
Adobe said Firefly integrates creative AI models from partners including Google, OpenAI and Runway, enabling users to generate content using multiple models. Acrobat Pro will support productivity and collaboration tasks such as editing text and images.
Separately, Adobe India has partnered with NASSCOM FutureSkills Prime, a digital skilling initiative backed by the ministry of electronics and information technology, to offer free courses and certifications. The programmes are aimed at preparing students for roles across design, animation, gaming, marketing, media, e-commerce and technology.
