Nitco shares jump 3% after securing additional Rs 45 crore order from Prestige Estates
Nitco Ltd. shares rose 3% in early trade after the company announced a new business development with Prestige Estates Projects Ltd. Building on previous orders worth ₹216 crore, Nitco has now received a Letter of Intent (LoI) for an additional tile supply order valued at approximately ₹45 crore. This takes the total order value from Prestige to ₹261 crore.
The deal covers the supply of premium Tiles, Marble, and Mosaic products and is expected to be executed over the next 12 months. Nitco confirmed that the order is domestic and does not fall under related party transactions.

This marks a significant milestone in Nitco's long-standing collaboration with Prestige Estates—one of India's leading real estate developers. The continued partnership not only reflects strong demand for Nitco's product range but also reaffirms its execution strength in large-scale supply contracts.
The development further strengthens Nitco's position in the institutional supply space and boosts its order book for FY2025- 26.
Nitco shares moved in a tight range today, opening at ₹133.00 and, at the time of reaching, an intraday high of ₹135.00. The stock touched a low of ₹131.81 during the session. With its 52-week range between ₹69.00 and ₹150.00, Nitco continues to trade with moderate momentum.

The AI Talent Crisis: Why Companies Are Looking In The Wrong Places
Nicole Zheng is the Chief Business Officer at which powers companies with elite tech talent and ready-to-deploy AI solutions. Last year, generative AI officially entered Gartner's famed 'Trough of Disillusionment'—a rite of passage for any emerging technology. While most enterprise companies are eager to embrace AI, with some saving hundreds of millions of dollars through strategic use cases, most fail to progress past the pilot phase. And one of the main barriers for many corporate leaders is talent. "The biggest AI talent shortage has created a $134.8 billion market opportunity," said João (Joe) Moura, CEO of crewAI. "Many focus solely on technical roles, but overlook a crucial segment: Traditional approaches emphasize Deep ML engineering or Ph.D.s," which implies barriers for talent lacking those qualifications. It's a challenge my company has heard repeatedly when consulting with enterprise leaders on their generative AI strategy, and we wanted to understand those challenges more deeply. So, we surveyed 250 senior tech leaders responsible for AI initiatives. Our research confirmed those challenges: "While 96% of tech leaders plan to increase AI investments in 2025, only 36% have successfully deployed AI to production." The gap isn't due to a lack of enthusiasm or budget—it's a talent problem. In fact, 85% of tech leaders have delayed critical AI initiatives due to talent shortages. But I believe there's another reason for this talent crisis: Most companies are looking for AI talent in all the wrong places, using outdated hiring approaches that fundamentally clash with the pace of AI innovation. Why Traditional Hiring Is Hindering, Not Helping When we asked these senior AI leaders how long it takes to hire top product and engineering talent, the answers were eye-opening: 67% said "it takes 4+ months to hire top engineering talent." This hiring timeline is completely mismatched with the whiplash pace of AI development; the technology is evolving every few weeks, bringing new opportunities to drive value for customers and employees alike. By the time most organizations have hired the talent they initially sought, that person's skills may already be outdated. It's like hiring horses while the Model T is accelerating in the fast lane. Adopting The 'T-Shaped' Talent Model One way organizations can succeed is by taking a different approach: a 'T-shaped' model that integrates specialized freelance talent with a smaller, core team of full-time employees. Picture the letter T: Your vertical stem is made up of core, full-time engineers who know your systems inside and out. The horizontal bar is made up of specialized contractors who bring targeted expertise where you need it. Why does this approach work? As GenAI is still nascent, your full-time engineers carry the burden of maintaining your core platform while learning the latest agentic system design techniques and tools. It can be next to impossible to succeed with the landscape evolving daily. By contrast, independent AI/ML engineers can bring experience from dozens of deployments across different companies—often choosing independence precisely for this opportunity. You're not just hiring skills; you're hiring the experience gained from rapid innovation cycles. Factors That Contribute To T-Shaped Model Effectiveness 1. The Shift In The Technical Talent Market: The freelance economy has evolved dramatically from its gig-economy origins. Today's freelance talent marketplace includes elite, specialized professionals who've chosen to go independent thanks to the autonomy, flexibility and financial upside that it can provide. For top AI talent, a big part of the appeal is getting to choose the specific projects and problems that interest them the most, instead of being put in a 'golden cage' and paid to literally do nothing. 2. The Innovation And Deployment Boost: Fractional talent can boost innovation capabilities and accelerate your road map. Look for freelance AI specialists who have experience with deployments at multiple companies; they should have more knowledge of the pitfalls that lurk around the corner and be able to help your company avoid them. 3. Cost Efficiency: By bringing in specialized fractional talent for the specific stages of development that you need them for, you can deploy your capital and resources more effectively. 4. A Startup Mindset: I've found that for most organizations—particularly those in non-tech industries—GenAI requires a monumental mindset shift. While IT teams excel at buying and integrating software for systems of record, capitalizing on GenAI's full capabilities often means adopting a mindset of leveraging your company's data and automating human workflows to realize new value. Choosing team members who can contribute out-of-the-box thinking as well as AI engineering expertise can help you achieve this mindset. 5. Flexibility: This model can also help solve flexibility challenges. Instead of trying to hire full-time employees for specific technical needs, focus on building fluid teams that can adapt as quickly as the technology. The Importance Of Collaboration A common pitfall in attempting the T-shaped model is to treat independent talent as outsiders, but this isn't outsourcing. The trick is to embed specialists into your existing teams, having them code and participate in standups right alongside your core engineers. In my experience, this approach can deliver more than project outcomes; it can also allow your core team to upskill through direct collaboration. Conclusion The AI talent crisis may seem daunting, but it's far from insurmountable. You don't need to compete with Netflix to hire that million-dollar AI engineer; instead, consider adopting a more flexible approach to how you build your teams.

Most building management systems exposed to cyber vulnerabilities, experts warn
This story was originally published on Facilities Dive. To receive daily news and insights, subscribe to our free daily Facilities Dive newsletter. Three out of four companies have building management systems vulnerable to hacking or cyberattack, according to a new research paper by Claroty, a cyber-physical systems protection company. More than half of affected organizations had systems insecurely connected to the internet with known exploited vulnerabilities that were linked to ransomware, it said. The report studied over 467,000 building management systems across 500 organizations. Within those organizations, 2% of devices essential to business operations were operating at the highest level of risk exposure, according to the report. The high exposure level of these devices provides malicious cyber actors with easily accessible entry points that 'leave the door open to costly and potentially dangerous disruptions,' Claroty said Wednesday in a release. This combination of risk factors is concerning due to the widespread reliance on these systems to operate HVAC, lighting, energy, security and other systems in commercial real estate, retail, hospitality and data center facilities, the company said. Many building management systems are old and were not built with internet connectivity in mind. As a result, some may no longer be supported by their respective vendors, meaning vulnerabilities remain unpatched, Claroty says. While these systems were previously operated independently by facilities management staff, they are now more commonly connected and integrated using advanced building management and building automation systems, according to the report. But the benefits of connecting operational technologies and Internet-of-Things devices to the internet come with 'very clear cybersecurity tradeoffs if not properly managed,' Claroty says. Third-party access provides another set of risks, with many vendors bringing in their own remote access technologies that may not be enterprise-grade or support security features like multifactor authentication, Claroty says. For facilities managers working to meet occupier demand for high-tech amenities, integrating vendor technologies can present trouble, according to Tom Karounos, global head of building technology at Tishman Speyer. 'You start adding these things, you add complexity from other vendors coming in and plugging things into your network, [and] you always run the risk' of a cyber attack, Karounos said during a panel at the Realcomm IBcon conference earlier this month. Organizations undertaking digital upgrades have an opportunity when bringing BMS online to measure the business impact and safeguard the operational criticality of those devices, Claroty says. They can accomplish this by adopting a security framework that provides decision-makers and asset owners with a true assessment of security, as well as a remediation plan that can assist risk management teams and is understandable by executives, the company says. 'With BMS controlling so much of modern-day CPS infrastructure, it's critical to move from a reactive approach to a proactive strategy,' Claroty says. 'Unless organizations use a comprehensive asset management solution to discover every device within a network, vulnerabilities and risks to critical assets can lurk unseen.' The cyber-physical security firm advises a five-step action plan for this framework, including scoping, discovery, prioritization, validation and mobilization. By following these steps, operators can gain full visibility into assets and their exposure, assess the potential impact on business continuity and provide security and operations teams with information that can enable practical, non-disruptive risk reduction, per the report. Vetting vendors is especially important, according to Karounos, who says his company has a rigorous evaluation process. 'We do that on a yearly basis,' he said.'We take the vetting process very seriously, and we partner with our procurement team to keep us honest, so there's no ambiguity there.'
