Banking on attention: The need for BFSI marketing to engage customers between UPI and Instagram
The financial services sector is at a pivotal juncture as India moves closer to its Digital Bharat vision, with the expectations of a generation of digital natives reshaping legacy institutions. The FINIXX Summit & Awards 2025, which has as its forward-thinking topic "Reimagining BFSI: Powering Digital Bharat Goals," put this change front and center.In order to examine the changing relationship between technology, trust, and consumer engagement in the BFSI (Banking, Financial Services, and Insurance) industry, a diverse group of marketing experts, digital strategists, and financial innovators convened for the summit.Experts discussed how rapidly changing consumer behavior is upending traditional marketing strategies in a fascinating panel titled "The Next-Gen BFSI Consumer: Understanding & Engaging Digital-First Audiences." They also discussed what it will take to foster trust, loyalty, and meaningful engagement in an increasingly app-first and attention-deficit world. The panel, which was presided over by Teamology Softech and Media Services Vice President of Growth and Strategy Lawrence Suchitha, included marketing directors from top BFSI institutions: VP of Digital Marketing at HDFC Bank, Aashir Allana AVP of Social Media Marketing at Tata Capital, Nikita Dilip Gupta SBI General Insurance's Head of Marketing and CSR, Rathin Lahiri Varun Mundra, Motilal Oswal Financial Services' Head of Media & Innovations Vishal Lohia, Hybrid Associate Director of Sales."The BFSI landscape has decisively moved from branch-first to app-first engagement," said Lawrence Suchitha, who opened the debate. Consumers of today need digital experiences that are quick, simple, and integrated—all while maintaining the transparency and trust that have traditionally characterized our industry. "The next-gen customer has never seen a passbook or stepped inside a branch," said Aashir Allana of HDFC Bank, emphasizing the point. They view the bank as an app rather than a physical establishment.Allana asserts that modern consumers evaluate their banking experiences by comparing them to Netflix, Amazon, and Zepto rather than other banks. "They want Zepto-level speed and Netflix-level personalization." Despite their impatience and impulsivity, they have a strong research bent. They expect the application procedure to take three minutes, but they will spend hours comparing credit cards. He pointed out that because of this behavioral mismatch, marketers must reach users "somewhere between Instagram and a UPI app."

As Q3 growth jumps 5.7%, Arthur Sadoun praises Publicis' AI-powered pace.
Building on its impressive organic growth of +5.7% for the third quarter of 2025 (Q3'25), Publicis Groupe has increased its prediction for organic growth for the entire year. The quarter's great performance outperformed the first half of 2025's high growth of +5.4%.The business has increased its forecast for organic growth in the full year (FY) 2025 to a new range of +5% to +5.5%. This represents an improvement over the original estimate of +4% to +5%. A number of factors, including consistent client spending (without any significant budget cuts or slowdowns) and growing demand for its AI-powered goods and services, underpin the decision to increase the outlook. Long-term scope development with current clients, a robust business environment for new ventures, and a more advantageous competitive environment are all important growth drivers.Arthur Sadoun, Publicis Groupe's chairman and CEO, "Q3 was yet another excellent quarter, exceeding forecasts, with no slowdown in customer demand. At Publicis, we are proving that artificial intelligence is not a pipe dream but rather a current reality that is propelling our expansion. We are demonstrating once more how our distinct AI-powered methodology may help us acquire market share and establish ourselves as a Category of One. We achieved organic growth of +5.7%, which significantly widened the gap with our counterparts by over 700bps2. In addition to not seeing any significant reductions in marketing expenditures, we also witnessed a surge in demand for our AI-powered goods and services. This was evident in our Epsilon-powered Connected advertising initiatives, which had high single-digit growth as a result of our capacity to use AI to link influencers, commerce, and paid advertising. Due to the growing demand for customized content, our AI production platform experienced double-digit growth. Additionally, Publicis Sapient maintained its favorable results for the second consecutive quarter thanks to our capacity to create agentic networks for clients that are looking to de-silo their own businesses.We anticipate that this upward trend will continue throughout Q4. Because of this, we are comfortable raising the higher end of our prediction to +5.5% for our 2025 organic growth guidance. Additionally, we are reporting that our already industry-leading margin has improved to just over 18% throughout the course of the year. With net new billings for the first nine months of the year already surpassing our 2024 total, we are now planning for 2026 because of our unparalleled new business track record. For the seventh consecutive year, we anticipate outperforming the industry the following year. I want to express my gratitude to our teams for their exceptional work in getting us to this point and to our clients for their ongoing trust.

There are already rumors that a foldable's replacement is in the works. Thanks to a tipster, we now know some additional information regarding the impending foldable. The OnePlus Open 2, which may be a repackaged Oppo Find N5, is rumored to operate on the unreleased Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 SoC.A well-known Weibo tipster named Digital Chat Station (whose username is translated from Chinese) stated that the OnePlus Open 2 is expected to launch in 2025's first quarter.

In October of this year, Qualcomm is anticipated to introduce the chipset.The anticipated OnePlus Open replacement is expected to include a slim design, a high-resolution cover screen, an updated hinge to minimize weight, and a "ultra-flat" inside screen. It is probably going to be slim, and it might keep the OnePlus Open's periscope camera. It is very likely to launch as the Oppo Find N5, rebranded.

Review of the film Atlas An absolutely unsalvageable action movie starring Jennifer Lopez that sets a new low for Netflix tentpoles
Review of the science-fiction action picture Atlas starring Jennifer Lopez: It is visually disorienting, has little ambition, and has no true redeeming qualities.There are terrible films, and then there are terrible Netflix-produced films. The streamer's most recent high-profile production, Atlas, is evidently determined to keep getting bigger and bigger, but it somehow falls short of the dismal caliber of its two previous big failures from earlier this year, which were the space opera Rebel Moon — Part 2: The Scargiver and the fantasy survival thriller Damsel. Atlas, a future action movie starring Jennifer Lopez as a soldier with trust issues, is dull, absurd, and sadly unsalvageable.Brad Peyton, the director of Atlas, looks to have washed ashore on the shores of streaming, seeking quick sanctuary from the Hollywood studio system he once served. Peyton served a time at the Dwayne Johnson penitentiary for stand-ins. The end product is an overly dramatic and poorly written muddle that lacks both the self-aware absurdity and technical skill of Peyton's earlier films, of which he is still most known for Rampage and San Andreas. In the story, Atlas, a brilliant but unruly person when it comes to chess, is dispatched to a far-off planet on a mission that practically amounts to a bounty hunt, with the goal of bringing Harlan back alive. Following the ship's crash-landing and the death or capture of her entire platoon,She performs her best Sigourney Weaver impression, gets into a mech suit straight out of Alien 2, and for a significant portion of the ostensibly action-packed story, she stays motionless. As the film nears its conclusion, Peyton and his screenwriters, Leo Sardarian and Aron Eli Coleite, make the strange decision to bind Atlas to a table. Atlas is understandably motionless while she's wearing the bulky outfit. Therefore, there is a significant portion in which Lopez is required to provide a convincingly dramatic performance while lying motionless on a flat surface and rambling on about Atlas' past. It would be like asking Virat Kohli to hit sixes while holding one arm behind his back in a film.However, you shouldn't take this kind of film seriously. It's the kind of movie where individuals rush for cover and utter stuff like, "He's targeting my fusion reactor," and "My turn," after enduring a hail of gunshots. In relation to that, Lopez spends a good deal of the film alone herself, forced to perform either by herself or through the disembodied voice of an AI assistant that Atlas eventually compels her to rely on. These are some of the most boring scenes in the movie, with the writing going completely bonkers in its naive attempts to have the two protagonists engage in buddy-movie banter.Lopez most likely never left the studio. She doesn't even seem to have perspired. The underpaid and overworked visual effects artists are the only crew members who might have needed electrolytes and caffeine, and they will all be unfairly held accountable for their involvement in what is unquestionably the most unattractive film of the year thus far. It would be correct to describe Atlas as an eyesore, but that would also, regrettably, suggest a misty-eyed nostalgia for the era of Red Notice and The Gray Man.
Bangladesh MP murder case grows two men fled the Kolkata complex carrying large bags, however the body was not recovered, according to authorities
Bangladesh MP murder mystery expands: according to police, two guys fled the Kolkata complex carrying large suitcases, but the body was not recovered.
