  Globe International Carriers Limited *(NSE:GICL)* said Tuesday it has begun deploying an artificial intelligence-driven vehicle placement system that replaces traditional phone-based coordination with a WhatsApp-integrated chatbot. The rollout, disclosed in an exchange filing, marks an initial step toward digitizing how the company allocates trucks. Vehicle placement in logistics typically relies on manual calls and follow-ups with transporters. The new system instead pushes load requirements simultaneously to multiple operators through an API-based interface, allowing real-time responses and faster decision-making. The company reported initial improvements from pilot runs of the system. Vehicle placement time improved by about 10% to 15%, particularly on established routes.

by Priyanka Jadhav  Director and Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sunil Keswani points out a critical gap in availability due to lack of awareness Mumbai, April 23, 2026: The National Burns Centre (NBC) raised serious concerns over a critical shortage of skin donations across India.  Spearheading NBC’s campaign to encourage more skin donor pledges, Director and Plastic Surgeon Dr. Sunil Keswani stated that a lack of awareness about skin donations is a critical cause of this gap. Skin banks in Mumbai receive only 25% of the required donations each month. Around 70% of burn patients are in the 15-35-year age group. Lack of access to skin transplantation leads to severe economic and emotional strain on the burn survivor as well as on their family. With timely access to skin grafts, burn patients can be rehabilitated in their most critical window of care, reducing risks of complications and mortality significantly. Skin can be donated within 6 hours of death and the deceased must be registered...
