  • MIL-OSI: Bajaj Finserv Asset Management Announces Guide: “SIP Planning for Unpredictable Incomes – A Path to Consistent Investing”

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PUNE, India, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — If you’re a freelancer, artist, consultant, or someone who doesn’t get a fixed salary every month, managing your money can feel tricky. One month might be great, and the next one might be slow. But even with this kind of income, you can still invest and grow your money steadily. That’s where SIPs, or Systematic Investment Plans, come in.

    In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to plan SIPs even if your income goes up and down. The idea is to stay consistent with your investments, even if the amount you invest varies from time to time.

    What is an SIP?

    A SIP (Systematic Investment Plan) is a way to invest regularly in mutual funds. Instead of putting in a large amount all at once, you invest small amounts at regular intervals, usually monthly. It helps you stay disciplined and grow your money over time without needing a big sum to start.

    Why SIPs make sense for irregular income earners

    Even if your income is not stable, SIPs can still work for you. Here’s why:

    • You can start small: SIPs don’t require big investments. You can start with as little as ₹500 a month in general.
    • You can pause and resume: Most mutual fund SIPs allow you to pause your investments if needed and start again when your cash flow improves.
    • You can increase the amount later: Once you start earning more, you can step up your SIP amount easily.
    • It brings financial discipline: When you commit to investing regularly, you slowly build a habit of saving and planning ahead.

    How to plan SIPs with an unpredictable income

    Here are some simple and practical tips to help you set up and maintain a SIP, even when your income isn’t fixed.

    1.   Start with a small amount

    Don’t wait until your income becomes stable to start investing. Begin with what you can afford – even ₹500 or ₹1000 a month. The goal is to build the habit first.

    2.   Use flexible SIP options

    Some mutual funds for SIP offer features like flexi SIP, where you can change the amount you invest based on your monthly income. This gives you more control during months when you earn less.

    3.   Save during high-income months

    When you have a good month, try to save more. You can either invest extra through a lumpsum or adjust your next few SIP amounts. This balances out the low-income periods.

    4.   Keep an emergency fund

    Always have 3 to 6 months’ worth of expenses in a savings account or liquid fund. This will keep your SIPs going even when your income dips, and it prevents you from stopping your investments during tough times.

    5.   Choose a suitable mutual fund

    Go for funds that match your risk level. For example, equity mutual funds ,may offer long-term growth, but they can be volatile. If you want lower risk, consider hybrid funds that mix equity and debt.

    6.   Using tools to plan better

    When your income is not regular, it’s important to plan ahead. Online tools like an SIP calculator can help you understand how your money will grow over time based on how much and how often you invest.

    On the other hand, if you ever need to start withdrawing a fixed amount each month from your mutual fund, you can use an SWP mutual fund calculator to see how long your money will last. SWP stands for Systematic Withdrawal Plan. It’s like the reverse of a SIP and useful when you need a steady income from your investments later in life.

    Track and adjust as needed

    It’s okay if you miss an SIP or need to change the amount. What matters is that you keep checking in on your progress. Once a quarter, look at your investments, see how they are doing, and decide if you want to increase or decrease the amount.

    The key is consistency, not perfection.

    Common mistakes to avoid

    Stopping SIPs after one bad month: It’s okay to skip, but don’t give up completely. Resume when you can.

    • Not tracking spending: Unpredictable income needs better budgeting. Know where your money goes.
    • Investing without a goal: Whether it’s buying a laptop, saving for rent, or building a safety net, have a goal in mind.

    Conclusion

    SIP planning is not just for people with fixed incomes. Even if your earnings go up and down, you can still invest regularly and build wealth over time. The trick is to start small, be flexible, and stay consistent.

    By choosing a suitable mutual funds for SIP, saving more during high-income months, and using tools like a SIP or SWP mutual fund calculator, you can take control of your finances – no matter how unpredictable your income is.

    So don’t wait for the ‘perfect time’ or a fixed paycheck. Start your SIP journey today, one step at a time.

  • MIL-OSI: Biz2Credit Small Business Earnings Report Finds SMB Earnings Climbed Higher in April

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    NEW YORK, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Biz2Credit’s monthly Small Business Earnings Report found that average monthly earnings were up to $47,700 in April 2025, up $9,100 from March’s number. This is a consistent run of monthly gains, with earnings rising 48% since January.

    Key Findings for April 2025

    • Average Monthly Earnings: $47,700. (Mar. 2025: $38,600 – an increase of $9,100)
    • Average Monthly Revenue: $522,400. (Mar. 2025: $531,900 – a decrease of $9,500)
    • Average Monthly Expenses: $493,300. (Mar. 2025: $474,700 – a decrease of $18,600)

    A year ago (March 2024), average revenues were $692,900, while average expenses were $651,200. Average earnings were $41,700, a figure that is $3,100 more than the average earnings in March 2025. Additionally, inflation has seen a significant decline, from 3.4% in April 2024 to 2.3% in April 2025. However, tariff-related worries have kept small businesses on edge as they struggle to make revenue projections.

    “Small and medium businesses have found a way to remain economically strong despite trade policy uncertainty” said Rohit Arora, CEO and co-founder of Biz2Credit.

    “Tariffs remain a top concern for small business owners who continue to await further clarity from the White House about trade policy and tariffs before as they make pivotal business decisions,” added Arora, one of the nation’s leading experts in small business finance. “In the meantime, business operators are cutting back expenses, resulting in earnings swinging upward for the first few months of the year.” Q1 was particularly pressured as the new administration came in and began implementing new trade policy, sending markets and small business sentiment plummeting at an alarming rate.

    Summary

    The Biz2Credit Small Business Earnings Report summarizes primary data of companies that applied for funding each month. It assesses the financial health of small businesses by analyzing primary data provided directly by small to midsized firms in the U.S. as part of the application process on Biz2Credit’s award-winning digital funding platform.

  • MIL-OSI: E Ink and MediaTek Donate 58 eReaders to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    BILLERICA, Mass., May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — E Ink (8069.TW), the originator, pioneer, and global commercial leader in ePaper technology, announced today its collaborative donation with MediaTek to the Boys and Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana as part of E Ink’s eRead for the Future program. E Ink and MediaTek are donating 58 Amazon Kindle Kids eReaders—each Kindle Kids device features an E Ink ePaper display for a comfortable, paper-like reading experience and is powered by MediaTek’s advanced chipset technology.

    “The donation from E Ink and MediaTek will have a meaningful impact on the children,” said Brandon Smith, Clubs Director of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana. “Access to books and educational tools is crucial for our Club kids’ development, and these Kindle devices open up a world of opportunities for their learning.”

    During the upcoming summer, the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana is running a Summer Reading program to combat reading skill loss during the summer. These Kindle Kids will be used to support this program.

    A study conducted by the Harvard School of Public Health found that E Ink’s ePaper screens with a ComfortGaze front light are up to three times healthier for eyes than LCD screens. As distraction and blue light dominate modern devices, paper-like E Ink screens provide a healthier screen time option. Blue light from LED and fluorescent lighting, as well as monitors, tablets, and mobile devices, can negatively affect vision over the long term, according to the American Optometric Association. Unlike traditional LCD screens, ePaper screens are non-emissive, meaning they rely on ambient light for viewing. Devices like the Amazon Kindle can help families minimize the blue-light hazard and enable more focused reading and learning.

    “This collaboration with E Ink and the Boys & Girls Clubs is a wonderful opportunity to share our passion for technology with future generations,” said Jerry Yu, Corporate Senior Vice President at MediaTek. “These Kindles are valuable tools that ensure our youth have access to more important resources to empower deeper learning.”

    “Our partnership with MediaTek and the Boys & Girls Clubs of Metro Louisiana is steeped in helping inspire a lifelong love of reading,” said Lynne Garone, Associate Vice President of Corporate Learning and Social Responsibility at E Ink Corporation. “Our ePaper technology is designed to make reading more enjoyable and accessible for kids everywhere.”

    To expand on eRead for the Future program in 2025, this eReader donation reflects E Ink and MediaTek’s ongoing commitment to supporting communities and creating opportunities for children through technology and education. The devices come bundled with a 6-month subscription to Amazon Kids+, giving the young readers unlimited access to thousands of children’s books, with a part of the donation being reserved for a permanent book collection.

    In 2024, E Ink engaged over 22 partners across the ePaper ecosystem to participate in the social good initiative, eRead for the Future, that focuses on delivering technology that elevates students’ reading abilities. Through last year’s collaboration, E Ink donated 1,024 color eReaders, benefiting over 15,000 students across 40 elementary schools. The total donation value was nearly USD 1 million and saved 777 metric tons of carbon from reading digital, nonprinted, books. For context, if 160 million eReaders worldwide download 50 eBooks each over a five-year period, this totals 8 billion eBooks. In comparison, if all these books were read in paper form, it would equate to nearly 60 million tons of CO2e.

  • MIL-OSI: Elev8 Corporate Finance Introduces Flat-Fee Plus Exit Model, Delivering Faster, Cheaper Bridge Capital to Lower-Middle-Market Businesses

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    Houston, TX , May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Elev8 Corporate Finance, the private credit advisor behind the GrowthBridge™ platform, has rolled out a new compensation structure that replaces traditional broker commissions with a single flat engagement fee and a performance-based exit fee. The change frees more capital for borrowers on day one while tying Elev8’s earnings to a successful refinance or payoff.

    “Borrowers now see one clear number up front, then pay the balance only when the bridge does its job,” said Greg Williams, Founder of Elev8. “It aligns our incentives with the CEO’s ultimate goal: a clean, lower-cost take-out.”

    Under the new model, clients avoid stacked origination points and hidden monitoring charges. Instead, they pay a fixed engagement fee to secure underwriting and lender alignment. A performance-based success fee is due only when the bridge loan refinances or is paid off. If Elev8 secures the next facility, we discount the exit fee to reward loyalty.

    The firm’s GrowthBridge™ program offers two tracks. GrowthBridge™ Core funds bridge loans from $500,000 to $2 million in as little as one to three weeks, making it ideal for Merchant Cash Advance refinance, rapid working capital, and opportunistic growth. GrowthBridge™ Select covers $2 million to $30 million-plus transactions in roughly three to five weeks, supporting acquisitions, large-scale debt consolidation, and capital-expenditure projects. Both tracks emphasize senior-secured structures with flexible payment options and monthly—or interest-only—schedules that preserve cash flow.

    Recent transactions underscore the model’s impact. In a $4.5 million refinance for a Texas-based distributor, Elev8’s flat-fee approach reduced financing costs by 70 percent, directed cash back into inventory, and closed in under three weeks—without any equity dilution.

    According to the client’s CFO, “Elev8’s transparent fee structure put six figures back into our working capital and eliminated daily cash drains. It felt like a true partnership from start to finish.”
    Elev8’s disciplined cash-flow underwriting and two decades of private credit expertise have produced a loan default rate below one percent while consistently funding deals in weeks rather than quarters. By offering a rebate on the exit fee when borrowers transition to a permanent bank or asset-based facility, Elev8 also establishes a natural loyalty loop that rewards long-term collaboration.

    About Elev8 Corporate Finance

    Elev8 Corporate Finance structures fast, flexible bridge loans for lower-middle-market companies across the United States and Canada. Through its GrowthBridge™ Core and Select programs, the firm delivers senior-secured, non-bank capital from $500,000 to $30 million+ for growth, recapitalizations, and high-cost debt replacement. Elev8 combines institutional-grade underwriting with principal-level oversight to fund strategic capital in weeks—not quarters.

  • MIL-OSI: BexBack Launches 100x Leverage, No KYC, $50 Welcome Bonus, and Double Deposit Bonus to Empower Crypto Futures Traders

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    SINGAPORE, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As Bitcoin surged from $74,500 to break the $100,000 threshold, many analysts agree that a new crypto bull market has officially begun. In this environment, savvy investors are increasingly turning to high-leverage futures trading as a way to maximize returns with minimal capital.

    BexBack is embracing this shift by doubling down on its trader-first strategy, launching a powerful set of promotional incentives: a 100% deposit bonus, a $50 welcome bonus for new users, and up to 100x leverage across 50+ leading cryptocurrencies. Most importantly, the platform offers trading with no KYC required, making it accessible to users who were previously limited by verification or leverage restrictions. These tools are designed to help traders fully capitalize on the momentum of the bull market — with more flexibility, more power, and fewer barriers.

    What Is 100x Leverage and How Does It Work?

    Simply put, 100x leverage allows you to open larger trading positions with less capital. For example:

    Suppose the Bitcoin price is $60,000 that day, and you open a long contract with 1 BTC. After using 100x leverage, the transaction amount is equivalent to 100 BTC.

    One day later, if the price rises to $63,000, your profit will be (63,000 – 60,000) * 100 BTC / 60,000 = 5 BTC, a yield of up to 500%.

    With BexBack’s deposit bonus

    BexBack offers a 100% deposit bonus. If the initial investment is 2 BTC, the profit will increase to 10 BTC, and the return on investment will double to 1000%.

    Note: Although leveraged trading can magnify profits, you also need to be wary of liquidation risks.

    How Does the 100% Deposit Bonus Work?
    The deposit bonus from BexBack cannot be directly withdrawn but can be used to open larger positions and increase potential profits. Additionally, during significant market fluctuations, the bonus can serve as extra margin, effectively reducing the risk of liquidation.

    About BexBack?

    BexBack is a leading cryptocurrency derivatives platform that offers 100x leverage on BTC, ETH, ADA, SOL, XRP, and 50+ others futures contracts. It is headquartered in Singapore with offices in Hong Kong, Japan, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Argentina.

    INDIANAPOLIS, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The Mark Cuban Foundation is proud to announce its bootcamp in partnership with Corteva. The program will bring back the highly acclaimed Artificial Intelligence (AI) Bootcamp to Indianapolis, Indiana, while expanding its reach for the first time to Des Moines, Iowa area high schools. This collaboration emphasizes the Foundation’s mission to reach students in underserved and previously unconnected regions, providing them with opportunities to engage with innovative technology.

    Corteva’s global headquarters and crop protection business unit is located in Indianapolis, while its seed business is based in Johnston, Iowa, near Des Moines.

    “We leverage AI tools throughout our innovation pipeline to deliver leading seed and crop protection products to farmers worldwide,” said Brian Lutz, vice president of agricultural solutions at Corteva. “We’re excited to collaborate with the Mark Cuban Foundation for the third consecutive year to help students gain experience with AI, and to understand the remarkable capabilities of this technology.”

The AI Bootcamp Program provides students with lunch and a snack, transportation assistance, and technology equipment during bootcamp.

    “As AI continues to become an undeniable force in all of our lives, it’s crucial that we open the door to this knowledge, especially to young people who want to explore it,” said Mark Cuban, founder. “While technology expands and becomes more advanced, it becomes more critical that we ensure our students are prepared when they apply for schools or jobs in the future. Thanks to our work with Corteva, the bootcamp will offer an avenue to explore this fascinating field of technology to any student, no matter their means.”

    This year’s bootcamps, taking place on November 1st, 8th, and 15th is hosted and staffed by Corteva, a global pure-play agriculture company that combines industry-leading innovation, high-touch customer engagement and operational execution to deliver solutions for the world’s most pressing agriculture challenges.

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    HANOI, Vietnam, May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Hyra Holdings, a global innovation group investing in frontier technologies, today announced that shareholders have formally approved three landmark initiatives during its 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM). These include the launch of the $500 million Hyra Combinator Venture Fund, a major expansion of the company’s decentralized AI infrastructure, and an official roadmap to IPO by 2030.

    The 2025 Annual General Meeting marks a strategic turning point in Hyra Holdings’ global expansion journey

    Accelerating Innovation Across AI, Blockchain, and Web3
    Since 2024, Hyra Holdings has launched three pioneering platforms that redefine the decentralized technology landscape:

    • Hyra Network: A Layer-3 blockchain designed for ultra-scalable, cross-chain Web3 applications.
    • Hyra AI: The world’s first edge-powered, decentralized artificial intelligence infrastructure.
    • Hyra Bid: A reverse auction marketplace powered by blockchain for fair, transparent bidding.

    Hyra’s ecosystem surpassed 1 million global users, with active operations and strategic expansions in Singapore, Dubai, and the United States—positioning the company as a key enabler of the next-generation digital economy.

    2M+ Edge AI Devices and $30M Data Center in Asia
    Hyra AI now powers over 2 million edge AI devices across 205+ countries and territories, delivering a combined 360,000 TFLOPS of compute power—projected to reach 918,000 TFLOPS by the end of 2025.

    “We are shifting the AI paradigm from cloud to edge,” said Chung Tran, Founder and Chairman of Hyra Holdings. “Real-time AI now lives on the devices people already use—smartphones, routers, and personal nodes.”

    To support this decentralized infrastructure, Hyra will begin construction in Q4/2025 on Hyra Zone, a sovereign AI data center based in Asia. The facility’s $30 million Phase 1 investment has already been approved at the AGM.

    $500M Hyra Combinator Fund – Fueling Deep-Tech Ventures
    Hyra’s new venture arm, the Hyra Combinator Fund, aims to raise $500 million by 2030. The fund will utilize a blended capital structure, combining institutional investments, venture partnerships, and public-private co-investment.

    Its goal: incubate and accelerate 150+ startups in the fields of AI, Fintech, Web3, and Quantum Computing—particularly in emerging and undercapitalized markets.

    “We’re not just deploying capital—we’re building the infrastructure, networks, and systems that future innovation depends on,” said Mr. Tran Nam Chung.

    IPO Roadmap: A Hybrid Global Strategy
    Hyra Holdings reaffirmed its IPO roadmap to 2030, evaluating listing options across Singapore, Dubai, and the United States.

    The company will maintain its Hybrid Holding Model, combining centralized strategic direction at the group level with decentralized execution across product companies: Hyra AI, Hyra Network, and Hyra Digital.

    Hyra’s 2030 targets include:

    • 9 core products launched
    • Active presence in 30+ countries
    • 1 billion TFLOPS in decentralized compute power

    About Hyra Holdings
    Hyra Holdings is a global innovation group founded in 2021 and headquartered in Singapore.

  • MIL-OSI: Docker Announces Hardened Images Catalog to Strengthen Enterprise Software Supply Chain Security

    Source: GlobeNewswire (MIL-OSI)

    PALO ALTO, Calif., May 19, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Docker, Inc.®, a leading provider of cloud-native application development tools, content, and services for developers, including emerging AI workflows, today announced Docker Hardened Images (DHI), a curated catalog of security-hardened, enterprise-grade container images designed to meet today’s toughest software supply chain challenges.

    Designed with security at the core, Docker Hardened Images are minimal, continuously maintained, and tested to meet enterprise compliance standards. Available directly through Docker Hub, DHI enables developers, security engineers, and platform teams to scale securely without disrupting familiar workflows.

    “The complexity of securing container dependencies shouldn’t fall squarely on developers’ shoulders,” said Michael Donovan, vice president of Product at Docker. “With Docker Hardened Images, we’re making it easier for teams to build with trusted and verified components that meet enterprise-grade security and compliance standards without adding friction to their workflow.”

    An Emerging Market, A Trusted Differentiator

    Docker is uniquely positioned to deliver this. With over a decade of experience building tools developers love and securing billions of image pulls every month on Docker Hub, Docker Hardened Images are a natural evolution of Docker’s platform, built directly into the workflows teams already trust. The result: a secure, flexible foundation that works out of the box and meets the needs of modern enterprise teams.

    At launch several partners are joining Docker to support the Docker Hardened Images ecosystem, including leading software publishers and security providers. These partners help deliver secure, enterprise-ready images and integrate enhanced scanning, metadata, and compliance insights into existing workflows. Their collaboration reflects the growing demand for trusted, scalable solutions that reduce container risk without slowing development. Partners announced today include Cloudsmith, GitLab, Grype, JFrog, Microsoft, Neo4j, NGINX, Sonatype, Sysdig, and Wiz, with more yet to come.

    “Docker’s Hardened Images are a major step forward in software supply chain assurance,” said Steven Dickens, CEO and Principal Analyst at HyperFRAME Research. “In a market still in its early stages, developers and enterprises are looking for a trusted partner who understands both scale and simplicity. Docker brings years of ecosystem leadership to the hardened container space, combining security, usability, and seamless integration in a way that few others can.”

    “Wiz is excited to see Docker entering the container vulnerability management space with their Hardened Images offering,” said Oron Noah, Vice President of Product, Extensibility & Partnerships at Wiz. “Improving the software supply chain takes collaboration across the ecosystem. With Docker’s key position in the container ecosystem and the reach of Docker Hub, this initiative has the potential to dramatically improve software supply chain security across the industry.”

    Built for the Enterprise Developer

    Modern software teams move fast but security, compliance, and trust can’t be left behind. Docker Hardened Images are built for the real-world needs of enterprise developers and the teams that support them. Whether you’re responsible for building, securing, or scaling applications, DHI helps you move faster with guardrails in place:

    • Platform Engineers gain a scalable way to manage secure, compliant images with full control over policies and provenance
    • Application Developers can focus on shipping code, not chasing CVEs, with hardened, ready-to-run images integrated into Docker Hub
    • Security Engineers get consistent, verifiable artifacts that align with organization-wide security standards and simplify audits
    • CISOs gain supply chain visibility and assurance that container dependencies meet compliance expectations out of the box

    Secure by Default, Flexible by Design

    Docker Hardened Images are engineered to provide maximum security and compliance while staying lightweight, fast, and customizable. Each image is:

    • Built to eliminate vulnerabilities, with few-to-zero exploitable CVEs and continuous scanning and updates, all built to meet SLSA Build Level 3 requirements
    • Designed for least privilege, running as non-root by default to reduce risk in production
    • Minimized by design, based on distroless principles that reduce attack surface and improve startup time, with up to 95% reduction in attack surface
    • Compliance-ready: SBOMs, VEX, build provenance, and more — all cryptographically signed.
    • Available across multiple distros—including Alpine and Debian—with more to come, supporting a wide range of enterprise environments.

    Now Available on Docker Hub

    Docker Hardened Images are now available on Docker Hub—discover how your team can get started.

The decision was made at the company’s 2025 Annual General Meeting (AGM), where shareholders also reaffirmed the group’s IPO roadmap targeting 2030.

    These initiatives mark strategic milestones for Hyra Holdings as it expands its role as a catalyst for frontier innovation in emerging markets.
