GenXAI acquires Softgrid Computers to turbocharge AI innovation and scale global tech muscle
MUMBAI: When a brainy AI firm joins hands with a code-savvy software shop, the result isn’t just more horsepower-it’s a new machine altogether. GenXAI, the AI-powered enterprise performance management (EPM) solutions provider, has acquired Softgrid Computers Pvt. Ltd., a name synonymous with application development and web design brilliance. The announcement came in June 2025, setting the tone for a future of deeper tech, global ambition, and sharper tools.
This acquisition arms GenXAI with Softgrid’s decade-old strength in mobile-first digital builds, pairing it with its own AI smarts that already power collaborations with tech majors like Anaplan and SAP. The result? A platform ready to create more intelligent, intuitive digital experiences-at scale.
“At GenXAI, we’ve always been driven by a vision to redefine the future of technology. Our partnerships with platforms like Anaplan and SAP demonstrate our commitment to excellence. Softgrid Computers shares our passion for transformative solutions and together, we’re poised to achieve greater milestones. With this collaboration, we combine GenXAI’s expertise in AI-driven solutions with Softgrid’s legacy in custom application development and web design”, said GenXAI founder & executive chairman Rakesh Agarwal.
From front-end design to back-end intelligence, the combined entity promises to fuse form with function-turning legacy digital builds into adaptive, intelligent tools for startups, large enterprises, and government bodies worldwide. The unified venture will offer cutting-edge platforms embedded with real-time AI decision engines, opening new markets and widening its tech moat.
“At Softgrid, we’ve always believed in building meaningful digital experiences through innovation and craftsmanship. Joining forces with GenXAI allows us to amplify our vision with the power of AI and reach new heights of impact. This is not just a milestone-it’s the beginning of a transformative journey for our team, our clients, and the future of technology”, said Softgrid co-founder Ajay Golani.
With Softgrid on board, GenXAI has stitched together a broader technology portfolio that now spans web, mobile, and AI-first ecosystems. This will accelerate its push into international markets and boost its appeal among digital-first enterprises hungry for intelligent automation and agile infrastructure.
The acquisition marks more than just growth. It’s a signal of intent from GenXAI-to scale up, smartly. And as tech firms race to bake AI into every interface and back end, this merger might just give it the edge in staying not only relevant but revolutionary.
SEOUL: In the eternal battle between gamers demanding lightning-fast refresh rates and professionals craving pixel-perfect clarity, LG Display reckons it has found détente. The South Korean display titan is unveiling the world’s first 27-inch 4K OLED monitor panel that marries an RGB stripe structure with a blistering 240Hz refresh rate—a combination previously thought incompatible, like oil and water or fashion and function.
The breakthrough lies in how the pixels are arranged. RGB stripe structure lines up red, green and blue subpixels in neat rows, banishing the colour bleeding and fringing that plague lesser screens when you park your nose close to the display. It is the difference between reading crisp text and squinting at a rainbow-tinged mess. OLED panels using this method existed before, but they topped out at a sluggish 60Hz—fine for spreadsheets, useless for fragging opponents in first-person shooters.
LG Display’s engineering wizardry changes the game. By cranking the refresh rate to 240Hz whilst maintaining that pristine RGB stripe layout, the company has produced a panel that works equally well for colour-critical design work and twitchy gaming sessions. Better still, the panel incorporates Dynamic Frequency & Resolution technology, letting users toggle between ultra-high-definition at 240Hz and full-HD at a frankly ludicrous 480Hz. That is fast enough to make your eyeballs sweat.
The specs are suitably impressive: 160 pixels per inch for exceptional detail, optimised performance for Windows and font-rendering engines, and colour accuracy that should please the Photoshop brigade. LG Display achieved this by boosting the aperture ratio—the percentage of each pixel that actually emits light—and applying what it coyly describes as “various new technologies.” Translation: years of R&D and probably some sleepless nights.
Existing high-end gaming OLED monitors have relied on RGWB structures (which add a white subpixel) or triangular RGB arrangements. Both work, but neither delivers the sharpness that professionals demand. LG Display’s new stripe pattern is tailored specifically for monitor use, a recognition that staring at a screen from two feet away demands different engineering than watching telly from across the room.
The company is betting big on this technology, targeting the high-end monitor market where it already commands roughly 30 per cent of global OLED panel production. Among gaming OLED panels in mass production, LG Display claims world-leading specs across refresh rate, response time and resolution—a trifecta that sounds like marketing bluster until you check the numbers.
“Technology is the foundation of leadership in the rapidly growing OLED monitor market,” says LG Display head of the large display business unit Lee Hyun-woo. He promises to keep pushing “differentiated technologies compared to competitors”—corporate-speak for staying ahead of Chinese rivals snapping at LG’s heels.
The new panel will debut at CES 2026 in Las Vegas, where LG Display plans to woo customers and expand its lineup. Initial rollout targets high-end gaming and professional monitors, the sweet spot where people actually pay premiums for superior screens rather than settling for whatever came with their laptop.
Whether this technology reshapes the monitor market or remains a niche luxury depends on two things: pricing and production scale. But for now, LG Display has pulled off something rare—a genuine technical leap that solves a real problem. Gamers get their speed, designers get their clarity, and LG gets bragging rights. In the cutthroat world of display tech, that counts as a win.
