Newgen marks 30 years of global service; unveils new logo
Mumbai: In a move to keep up with the dynamic transformation of the digital world, Newgen Software has revamped its brand identity with a new logo focusing on rapid growth in the next five years. The software company has completed 30 years as a global digital transformation provider.
On the sidelines of the celebratory event, Newgen Software CEO Virender Jeet speaks with IndianTelevision.com and shares the idea behind the new logo, the journey of 30 years, and how India is becoming a global leader in digital transformation.
Idea behind the Newgen new logo
Sharing the idea behind the newly launched logo, the CEO says the world is rapidly moving towards digital transformation and this is the time when Newgen has to focus on equally rapid growth. “Our new identity epitomises agility, connect, and transformation,” he shares, adding that, “With this new logo, we aim to position Newgen as a trusted digital transformation platform provider.”
30 years of Newgen Software
Spread across 72 countries, Newgen focuses to fasten up its business in the coming years. Talking about their journey over 30 years, Newgen Software founder and CMD Diwakar Nigam says that they have always been focused on becoming a global leader in software products.
“Our vision of ‘One World, One Workplace’ drove our product investment towards digitising physical documents, automatic process flows and enabling secure, remote access to information,” he remarks. Adding on to what Nigam said, Jeet tells that digital transformation is no longer a buzzword, rather it is being a practical phenomenon for companies across the globe.
India witnessing swift digital transformation
Highlighting the business percentage they get from all across the world, Jeet reveals that they get a total of 30 per cent business from the USA, 30 per cent from Middle East and interestingly, India too is no less, as they get the other 30 per cent from here and the rest 10 per cent comes from the APAC region.
“Newgen has filed for 44 patents, out of which 23 have been granted in India and the US alone,” Jeet notes. He feels that India is becoming a global leader in software transformation. Further sharing their overall business breakup, he told, Newgen enables customers across 72 countries from multiple industries. On being asked which categories are the early adopters of digital transformation, Jeet explained that the major business comes from industries including banking, insurance, government, shared services, healthcare, and energy & utilities.
Newgen’s plan to get more clients on board
Newgen has many national and international banking and insurance brands as its clients. Interestingly, most of their clients are very loyal that they have been associated with Newgen ever since its inception. However, if we see their overall kitty, all their banking brands are conventional and already established in the market.
On the other hand, we see many new-age banking companies, for example, Fino Payments Bank, who are heavily spending on marketing and sponsorships to grab the attention of users.
On being asked what extra Newgen will do to attract these new-age brands to take their services, Jeet says they have a plethora of services to offer to all types of brands across categories. “At Newgen, we believe that no company can really survive without joining hands with technology. We have some really effective tools to help banking companies to maintain their data and information flawlessly and we are sure with time we will be able to grab more such brands on board,” Jeet concludes.

Samay Raina returns with Still Alive, confronts 2025 controversy in bold comeback special
Comeback set tackles controversy, blending humour with raw storytelling
MUMBAI: Samay Raina is set to release his new stand-up comedy special, Still Alive, on YouTube on April 7, 2026, marking a high-profile return following a turbulent year.
The trailer for the special dropped on April 5, offering a glimpse into what Raina describes as a raw and unfiltered set that leans as much on honesty as it does on humour.
Positioned as a comeback of sorts, Still Alive draws heavily from the controversy surrounding his show India’s Got Latent in early 2025. The episode led to legal trouble, multiple FIRs, and a lengthy six-hour interrogation by the Maharashtra Cyber Cell, placing the comedian at the centre of intense public scrutiny.
Rather than sidestep the episode, Raina leans into it. The special reflects on the fallout and his personal journey through it, blending observational comedy with moments of emotional candour. Early audience feedback from live performances suggests the tone is less about rapid-fire punchlines and more about storytelling with bite.
The special was filmed during his global Still Alive & Unfiltered tour, which ran from August 2025 to early 2026. The tour saw Raina perform across major international venues, including the Madison Square Garden Theatre in New York, a milestone that places him among the youngest Indian comedians to take that stage.
The title itself signals resilience. “Still Alive” is a nod to navigating both legal and public backlash while choosing to remain unapologetically authentic, a theme that appears to anchor the set.
With the special set to premiere online, all eyes are now on how audiences respond to a performance that promises equal parts reflection and wit. For Raina, the message is clear. He is not just back, he is ready to be heard on his own terms.
