Lucknow: Montra Electric, part of the Murugappa Group, has achieved a major milestone in India’s clean mobility journey by becoming the first manufacturer to receive PM E-Drive certification for a heavy-duty electric truck.
Marking this achievement, Montra Electric officially delivered India’s first PM E-Drive certified heavy electric truck — the Rhino 5538 EV 6×4 tractor trailer — to UltraTech Cement Limited, the country’s largest cement and ready-mix concrete company.
This landmark delivery highlights Montra Electric’s strong commitment to advancing electric mobility solutions across India’s logistics and industrial sectors.
PM E-Drive Scheme Accelerates Adoption of Electric Heavy Trucks
Under the Government of India’s ₹10,900 crore PM E-Drive scheme, ₹500 crore has been allocated specifically to promote electric trucks in the heavy-duty segment.
The Rhino 5538 EV qualifies for an incentive of up to ₹9.6 lakh per vehicle, significantly reducing operating costs for fleet operators and encouraging faster transition to electric commercial vehicles.

According to Montra Electric, switching from conventional fuel-based trucks to electric heavy-duty vehicles delivers multiple benefits, including:
Reduced fuel and maintenance costs
Stable operational economics unaffected by fuel price fluctuations
Compliance with sustainability and emission norms
High uptime and strong performance capabilities
The PM E-Drive certification marks a decisive step towards cleaner, more efficient, and future-ready freight transportation in India.

When a major tech player like Google steps into the arena of marketing-creatives, it’s worth a close look — especially if you work in content production, digital agencies or you’re the marketing lead for a business. With the launch of its new marketing assistance tool Google’s “Pomelli” (currently a public beta), Google is signaling that the next frontier in generative AI isn’t just text answers or image generation — it’s full-blown campaign creation that rivals design-first platforms such as Canva.
Pomelli by Google creating social media ads for small businesses: Image by Google
In this article I break down what Pomelli is, how it works, how it stacks up to Canva and other tools, what its implications are for businesses and agencies, and what to look out for. As an experienced tech journalist with two decades of covering content tools, my aim is also to help you decide whether this is one to include in your arsenal.
What is Pomelli?
In short: it’s an AI-powered marketing-asset generator designed especially for small-to-medium-sized businesses (SMBs) that might lack large design/marketing teams. Developed inside Google Labs in partnership with DeepMind, the tool is now available in public beta in the US, Canada, Australia and New Zealand (English only for now).
Here are its core features:
→ Build Your Brand “Business DNA”
You supply your website URL. Pomelli scans it and analyses existing content — images, fonts, colour palettes, tone of voice — to build what Google calls your “Business DNA” profile. This becomes the foundation for all subsequent content.
→ Generate Campaign Ideas
Once the brand-profile is set, Pomelli proposes tailored marketing campaigns (themes, angles) for your business. You can also type in your own prompt if you have an idea in mind.
→ Create Editable On-Brand Marketing Assets
From there, it generates various marketing-assets — social-media posts, banners, possibly ad visuals — all aligned with your brand identity. You have built-in editing tools to tweak text, change images or layouts, then download assets for use.
How Does Pomelli Compare to Canva?

Given that the focus keyword here is “Google’s Pomelli new marketing assistance tool will rival Canva graphics”, let’s compare where Pomelli stands vs Canva (and similar design-platforms).
Feature
Canva (and similar)
Pomelli
Design templates & manual customisation
Canva excels: thousands of pre-built templates, drag-and-drop editor, many assets.
Pomelli automates much of the design from brand-DNA; editing is supported but generation is AI-led.
Brand consistency
Canva has “Brand Kit” features (upload logos, set colours); still requires human to apply consistently.
Pomelli builds your brand profile automatically by scanning website, so consistency is built in.
Campaign ideation + asset generation
Canva is primarily a design tool; ideation is manual.
Pomelli adds the ideation step (campaign ideas) and runs asset generation based on the campaign direction.
Ease for non-designers/SMBs
Canva is quite easy, but still requires some design sense or time.
Pomelli promises even less design/branding skill-barrier — more “one-click campaign engine” style.
Scope of use
Large ecosystem; many integrations; used across enterprise and individual creators.
Early stage; public beta; limited to certain geographies and English language.
Customisation & human control
Canva gives full manual control (which is great for designers).
Pomelli offers editing but generation is automatic; human oversight still required for best outcome.
In short: if Canva lets you design things once you know what you want, Pomelli aims to create things based on the “what you are” (brand identity) and then let you refine. For SMBs or agencies with limited resources, that’s a compelling proposition.
Comparison of Google Pomelli vs Canva design tools interface: Image by Google
Why It Matters for Businesses & Agencies
Here are some of the practical implications — especially relevant if you’re in the real-estate marketing space, digital media agency, or content partner (which aligns with your profile).
1. Level Playing Field for SMBs
Smaller companies often struggle with consistent marketing — few resources, lesser budgets, limited design/creative staff. Pomelli reduces the barrier: you don’t need to hire a designer to get on-brand visuals.
2. Speed + Volume
Agencies and content-creation teams know that one of the biggest bottlenecks is turning ideas into assets fast. Pomelli’s workflow (website → brand profile → campaign → assets) could dramatically cut turnaround times. That means faster campaigns, more iterations, more testable creative. Agencies could potentially adopt this to serve multiple clients more efficiently.
3. Consistency of Branding
In sectors like real-estate, where brand trust, recognition and visual coherence matter (especially on social media, reels, property videos), having branded assets that “look like you” is vital. Pomelli’s brand-DNA focus helps ensure that everything – from font to imagery tone – aligns with the brand message. For agencies managing multiple channels and partners, this reduces the risk of assets going off-brand.
4. Creative Ideation Support
One advantage is that Pomelli doesn’t just create visuals — it also suggests campaign ideas. For a content-creator who is tasked with “come up with next month’s social campaign theme”, this is a helpful springboard. It could help overcome creative block, especially when juggling multiple clients.
5. Opportunity for Digital Agencies (and Real-estate Specialists)
As someone running a digital media agency offering property-video and real-estate content services, you might consider how tools like Pomelli change your value proposition:
You can potentially deliver more assets (social posts, ad creatives, blog visuals) for each property listing at lower cost/time.
You might explore offering “brand kit + AI-asset generation” as a packaged service for clients.
You’ll need to monitor how AI-generated creatives perform vs human-designed ones (branding nuance, uniqueness, emotional resonance still matter).
What Are The Limitations & Things to Watch
Of course, no tool is perfect — especially in early beta. Here are caveats to keep in mind:
Availability & Language: Currently public beta is only in US, Canada, Australia & New Zealand and in English. So geographic/language constraints apply.
Brand nuance may be limited: While the “Business DNA” scan is smart, brand identity often involves subtleties — culture, history, emotional tone — that a website alone may not fully capture. Some generative outputs may feel “off”.
Originality / uniqueness concerns: As with many generative-AI tools, there’s a risk of similar visuals being produced across different brands, unless the tool’s training/variance is carefully managed.
Editing still necessary: Although automation is strong, human review, editing and tuning will be needed. For example, ensuring compliance, accuracy of claims, suitability of imagery in your market.
Ethics / AI safety / brand-safety: The tool may generate visuals/text that need vetting for brand positioning, regulatory compliance (especially in real-estate where claims matter), and cultural sensitivities.
Integrations / workflow fit: Agencies and teams may already have workflows (design tools, asset libraries, agency creatives). Adopting a new tool requires workflow buy-in, training, asset management.
Competition and differentiation: As more tools emerge (and Canva itself is expanding into generative AI), having a distinct creative edge may still require human designers. AI may commoditise some of what was previously differentiator.
What This Means for Your SEO & Content Strategy
Given your role as an expert article writer and SEO manager working on real-estate and digital media content, here are some strategic insights:
Use “Pomelli” as a keyword: Write SEO-optimised content (such as blog posts, agency pages, service landing pages) around “Google Pomelli”, “Pomelli for SMB marketing”, “AI marketing asset generator”, “Pomelli vs Canva”. This helps capture the early search interest around the tool.
Write comparative guides: Create content comparing Pomelli with existing platforms (Canva, Adobe Express, Crello), targeting “which tool is best for SMB marketing assets”.
Case studies & real-estate angle: Since you serve real-estate businesses, consider creating a case study article: “How real-estate agencies can use Google Pomelli to create property-listing social posts in minutes”. That would appeal to your niche.
Content around workflow integration: “How to integrate Google Pomelli into your social-media video production pipeline” or “5 ways agencies can scale assets with Pomelli” – such content is useful for your audience and establishes you as thought-leader.
SEO technical note: Because Pomelli is new, you may gain a rankings advantage by covering it early, using long-tail keywords, and ensuring on-page optimisation (H1 includes “Google Pomelli”, meta description includes keywords, alt text on images mentions Pomelli).
Link-building opportunity: You can reach out to agencies, SMBs, early adopters and feature them — “Interview: How XYZ agency uses Google Pomelli for their clients” — gaining backlinks and fresh content.
Monitor performance & update content: As Pomelli evolves (roll-out to more countries, new features), ensure your articles stay current — update with new facts, features, region availability, and real-world results.
Conclusion
The launch of Google’s Pomelli marks a significant moment in the evolution of marketing technology: generative AI moving from standalone text/image tools into integrated, brand-aware campaign engines. For SMBs and agencies — including those in real-estate marketing — it offers the promise of faster, higher-quality, consistent branded content without large budgets or design teams.
That said, it’s still early days. Adoption will require workflow changes, human oversight remains essential, and the ultimate differentiator will still be the strategic and creative human input behind any tool. As an SEO-savvy content professional, your timely coverage, niche-oriented case studies and comparative guides could position you ahead of the curve.
In short: Yes — Pomelli could rival Canva’s graphics capabilities in many contexts — especially where speed, brand-consistency and volume matter. It’s definitely a tool worth watching (and writing about).
Successful IVF Treatment in Primary Amenorrhea and Hypertension Case
Birla Fertility and IVF Lucknow – a trusted name in advanced fertility treatment and compassionate care.
Lucknow, India: A 32-year-old woman from Lucknow has finally fulfilled her long-awaited dream of motherhood after 11 years of infertility, thanks to the expert team at Birla Fertility and IVF Lucknow. The patient was diagnosed with primary amenorrhea due to hypogonadotropic hypogonadism, coupled with hypertension and low ovarian reserve — a rare and challenging reproductive health condition.
Despite several failed fertility treatments, including an unsuccessful IVF cycle elsewhere where no dominant follicle developed, hope returned when the couple approached Dr. Shreya Gupta, Centre Head and Consultant at Birla Fertility and IVF Lucknow.
Personalised IVF Strategy by Dr. Shreya Gupta Leads to Success
Dr. Shreya Gupta, Centre Head at Birla Fertility and IVF Lucknow, during a fertility consultation.
Dr. Gupta and her team created a personalized fertility care plan that focused on overcoming ovarian limitations. Using a modified stimulation protocol, they successfully retrieved three oocytes, out of which two healthy day-3 embryos were developed.
Before embryo transfer, the team performed a hysteroscopic uterine cavity enhancement to optimise uterine receptivity. In the carefully planned frozen embryo transfer (FET) cycle, the embryos implanted successfully on the first attempt — resulting in a healthy pregnancy.
Advanced IVF Science Meets Compassionate Care
Dr. Shreya Gupta, Centre Head at Birla Fertility and IVF Lucknow
“This was one of the most complex reproductive health cases we’ve treated. With a very low ovarian reserve, every egg was precious. It required precision, patience, and continuous emotional support. Fertility care is not just about science; it’s also about trust and persistence.”
The pregnancy was closely monitored with comprehensive antenatal care, ensuring a smooth and healthy delivery. The couple’s decade-long wait finally ended with the arrival of their baby, marking another milestone success for Birla Fertility and IVF Lucknow.
Inspiring Hope for Complex Infertility Cases
This successful case highlights that even in the toughest fertility conditions — like primary amenorrhea, low ovarian reserve, or hypertension — positive outcomes are possible with advanced fertility technology, expert care, and emotional guidance.
Birla Fertility and IVF Lucknow continue to stand as a leading name in fertility treatment, offering cutting-edge reproductive solutions with compassion, transparency, and world-class medical standards.
Short Summary: Zoho vs Microsoft Indian software company Zoho, founded by Sridhar Vembu in Tamil Nadu, is making global headlines by positioning itself as a homegrown alternative to Microsoft. With over 130 million users in 60+ countries, ₹1 lakh crore valuation, and products rivaling Microsoft Office and Google Workspace, Zoho is redefining India’s place in the global tech landscape.
An Indian Company Dares to Challenge Microsoft
An Indian Company Dares to Challenge MicrosoftCorporation
When a company from India claims it can “replace Microsoft”, it naturally raises eyebrows. After all, Microsoft is a $4 trillion American tech giant — its valuation alone surpasses India’s GDP. Yet, Zoho, a Chennai-based software firm valued at around $12 billion (₹1 lakh crore), has boldly stepped into the spotlight, igniting conversations about India’s potential to compete with global tech leaders.
Government Support Signals a Shift Towards Swadeshi Tech
IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw leads by example — switching to Indian software Zoho for official work.
The buzz around Zoho intensified when IT Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, an IIT alumnus, announced that his official presentations were now created using Zoho Show — not Microsoft PowerPoint. “I am switching to Zoho for my documents, spreadsheets, and presentations,” he tweeted, highlighting a clear shift towards Swadeshi (indigenous) technology. This move wasn’t just symbolic; it was a significant endorsement that propelled “Zoho vs Microsoft” into national and business headlines.
Zoho’s Impressive Growth Without Ads or Foreign Funding
Unlike most startups, Zoho is bootstrapped, built entirely without foreign funding. Despite spending zero on advertising, it has grown into a global software powerhouse with:
₹8,700 crore annual revenue
₹2,800 crore net profit
33% profit margin
130 million+ users across 60 countries
18,000+ employees and 16 data centers
Major global brands — including Amazon, Netflix, Mercedes-Benz, Citibank, HDFC, Philips, and Ford — use Zoho’s CRM and enterprise solutions to enhance customer experiences.
Products That Rival Microsoft and Google
Zoho’s vast suite of products offers alternatives to almost every major Microsoft and Google service:
Zoho Show – Alternative to PowerPoint
Zoho Mail – Alternative to Gmail/Outlook
Zoho WorkDrive – Alternative to Google Drive
Arattai – Alternative to WhatsApp
Zoho Sign, Zoho Books, Zoho Invoice – Business productivity tools
This comprehensive ecosystem makes Zoho a credible player in enterprise software — a space long dominated by American giants.
Sridhar Vembu – The Visionary Behind Zoho
Sridhar Vembu, an IIT Madras alumnus, left a promising career in the U.S. and returned to India to build a global tech company from his hometown Tenkasi, Tamil Nadu. His message to Indian professionals stuck in the U.S. on H-1B visas is powerful:
“Don’t fear returning home. Work here for five years, and we can surpass the world.”
Vembu’s vision is deeply rooted in self-reliance. Despite holding just 5% of Zoho’s shares, he built a company that not only competes globally but also embodies Indian values and family-driven leadership.
A Swadeshi Revolution in the Making
The rise of Zoho comes at a time when India is rethinking its reliance on foreign technology. With ministers openly using Zoho tools and advocating “Make in India” alternatives, the narrative is shifting. While Microsoft’s $4 trillion valuation is daunting, Zoho’s rise proves that global dominance begins with local ambition.
As the world watches, one question remains: Can Zoho truly challenge Microsoft’s monopoly in business software? If current momentum is any indication, the answer might soon be yes.
