Care World TV now live on Apple TV
MUMBAI: Care World TV, the global healthcare television channel is now available on Apple TV. Besides being available on Apple TV, the wellness channel is also available on popular streaming players including Roku, Yupp TV and a host of other platforms.
Care world TV says that introducing itself on Apple TV is an attempt to take advantage of opportunities offered by digital media even with the hold of DTH today. “With technological advances the industry is going through a phase of transition. While Direct To Home (DTH) and cable is relevant today and will continue to remain relevant for a long time, it is also a fact that we are seeing action in digital media streaming services, as is evident by the success of movies and TV series providers like Netflix and Amazon.” says Care World MD Mr. Ajit Gupta.
The channel has shows which are dedicated to health, beauty, diet, wellness, sex and also has an interactive show where audiences can consult doctors directly.
Gupta says that Care world TV is also extending its reach through mobile apps on android and iOs, online channels and the latest being the content streaming devices. Gupta reveals,“Care World TV has become synonymous with the world of health, fitness and wellness. Nine years ago, when we had set out to explore this domain and to bring to the audiences the crux of a wholesome, healthy lifestyle, we had imagined this day to come. The channel’s reach extends via a host of platforms including Android and iOS apps.
The channel claims that its programming is focused on physical and psychological aspect of human health, and it incorporates various aspect of the subject. “Our aspiration is to provide everyone access to legitimate advice on health and to meet this cause we will continue to evolve and better the quality and reach of our programmes,” concludes Gupta.

American Express to acquire AI startup Hyper to boost automation
Deal targets expense management as AI reshapes corporate spending tools.
MUMBAI: From receipts to robots, the expense sheet is getting a brain upgrade as American Express moves to bring artificial intelligence into the heart of corporate spending. The company has announced plans to acquire Hyper, a relatively young but fast-rising startup founded in 2022 that builds AI-powered agents capable of organising expenses, generating reports, verifying compliance with budgets and policies, and nudging users with timely reminders. The deal, expected to close in the second quarter of 2026, underscores a growing shift among financial institutions to automate traditionally manual, time-heavy workflows.
Hyper counts Sam Altman among its backers, adding a layer of Silicon Valley credibility to the acquisition. While financial details remain undisclosed, the strategic intent is clear: deepen automation capabilities and sharpen American Express’s position in the competitive corporate spending ecosystem.
The two companies are not strangers. They previously collaborated in 2024 on a co-branded credit card product, suggesting that the acquisition is less a cold buy and more an extension of an existing relationship. With this move, American Express is effectively bringing that capability in-house, aiming to embed AI directly into its commercial services stack.
Chief executive Stephen Squeri had already signalled the direction of travel in a recent shareholder letter, describing AI as a “structural shift” in how businesses operate. The Hyper acquisition appears to be a direct response to that shift, particularly in expense management, where processes such as approvals, compliance checks and reporting remain ripe for automation.
Alongside the acquisition, the company is also expanding its product suite. A recently launched business credit card offers cashback and benefits at an annual fee of $295, with another card expected later this year moves that complement its broader push into commercial services.
Taken together, the strategy points to a future where managing expenses may require fewer spreadsheets and more algorithms. For American Express, the bet is simple, if businesses are rethinking how work gets done, the tools that power that work need to evolve just as quickly.
