A major highlight of the program was the on-the-spot application process. Around 300 application forms were filled by power loom weavers under the power loom power subsidy and garment subsidy schemes. Department officials confirmed that all submitted forms will be forwarded promptly for further processing to ensure eligible beneficiaries receive benefits without delay.
At the conclusion of the meeting, weavers expressed satisfaction with the government’s initiatives and demanded that such awareness programs on power loom power subsidy and textile welfare schemes be organized regularly.
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.

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?
Comparison of Google Pomelli vs Canva design tools interface: Image by 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).

Lucknow: In partnership with Modi-Mundipharma Beauty Products, Revlon India is embarking on an aggressive growth trajectory under the leadership of Meghna Modi, Executive Director and Head of the Indian Subcontinent. Since her appointment in November 2023, Modi has been spearheading a strategic transformation across sales, supply chain, e-commerce, and organizational culture, with the mission to rejuvenate the iconic beauty brand in India.
Driving Strategic Transformation for the Indian Beauty Market

During a recent media interaction in Lucknow, Meghna Modi reaffirmed the brand’s bold ambitions:
“We are building our business aligned with our brand promise — to move the world boldly, giving every woman the platform she needs to live fully, freely, and purposefully, no matter how she chooses to express herself.”
She emphasized that the company’s mission is rooted in inspiration, innovation, inclusion, and purpose. Revlon India will continue to focus on its color cosmetics range (makeup and skincare) and personal care range (hair color, haircare, and body sprays), while expanding distribution across exclusive brand outlets, departmental stores, general trade, and e-commerce channels.
The company has set a target to double its business in the next 2–3 years by increasing its presence from 300 to 600+ exclusive brand outlets and expanding from 1,000 to 4,000+ departmental stores across India.
Empowering Teams and Building Retail Momentum
Modi stressed that achieving such high targets will require active involvement from all stakeholders.
“From passive management to active management — everyone including leadership, retailers, distributors, and beauty advisors must work proactively to achieve this kind of growth,” she said.
Her growth strategy combines offline retail expansion with a stronger digital approach. Currently, around 25% of Revlon India’s sales come from online channels, while the rest are generated from retail outlets and department stores. Modi is focusing on enhancing social media engagement, especially on visual platforms like Instagram, to connect with ambitious and millennial consumers in Tier-2 cities.
Product Innovation and Millennial-Focused Brands
Product innovation remains a key growth pillar. Revlon India is planning to launch new categories such as perfumes and advanced haircare products. To capture the growing aspirations of Tier-2 city consumers, the company has also introduced Street Wear Cosmetics, a millennial-focused brand starting at an accessible price point of ₹399, aiming to build a broader and more affordable portfolio.
Legacy and Visionary Leadership
Revlon India plans to expand from 300 to 600+ exclusive outlets nationwide.
Meghna Modi exudes confidence that under her leadership, Revlon India will double revenues, expand retail presence, strengthen online channels, accelerate product innovation, and modernize operations — all aimed at driving growth and building fresh relevance in India’s dynamic beauty market.
Her leadership style is anchored in quality, trust, and visibility, with a clear vision to make Revlon stand out in an intensely competitive beauty landscape.
About Meghna Modi and Revlon’s Legacy in India
Meghna Modi, the eldest daughter of Umesh Kumar Modi, Chairman of Umesh Modi Group, holds degrees from London Business School and Harvard Business School. She previously worked at Revlon before pursuing her MBA at Harvard and later spent four years as a consultant at Bain & Company in Boston before returning to India.
Modi Mundipharma Private Limited, part of the Umesh Modi Group, launched Revlon in India in 1995 as the first international cosmetics brand in the country. Over the decades, Revlon has earned a strong reputation as a color authority and beauty trendsetter, known for high-quality product innovation, outstanding performance, and sophisticated glamour.

After nearly eight years of GST implementation, India’s most ambitious GST Reforms are finally here. The government’s GST 2.0 initiative will dramatically simplify our complex tax structure while delivering unprecedented savings to millions of consumers.
In my 15 years of covering Indian financial markets, I’ve witnessed numerous tax reforms, but nothing compares to the scale and potential impact of these GST Reforms. This isn’t just policy tinkering—it’s a complete reimagining of India’s indirect tax ecosystem.
The GST Reforms Revolution: From Complexity to Simplicity

The Union Ministry’s Group of Ministers has approved the most comprehensive GST Reforms since the tax’s inception in 2017. Under the new framework, India will transition from its current four-tier structure (5%, 12%, 18%, 28%) to a streamlined two-slab system featuring just 5% and 18% rates.
This GST Reforms announcement represents more than administrative efficiency—it’s economic stimulus disguised as tax policy. Having tracked GST collections from their humble beginnings of ₹1 lakh crore monthly targets to today’s robust ₹2 lakh crore reality, I can confidently state that these GST Reforms are both fiscally responsible and economically strategic.
Breaking Down the GST 2.0 Impact Matrix
Immediate Beneficiaries of GST Reforms:
Technology & Electronics Sector:
Mobile phones shifting from 12% to 5% (estimated 7% savings on ₹15,000 smartphone = ₹1,050)
Small electronics and accessories joining the lower bracket
Desktop computers and peripherals seeing significant rate reductions
Textile & Apparel Industry:
Premium clothing items above ₹1,000 moving from 12% to 5%
Footwear across all price points benefiting from GST Reforms
Caps, hats, and fashion accessories receiving substantial relief
Food & Beverage Revolution:
Processed vegetable and fruit products dropping dramatically
Dried foods and dehydrated products becoming more accessible
Medical equipment and diagnostic tools becoming affordable
Pharmaceuticals receiving additional tax relief
Healthcare accessibility improving through GST 2.0
The Strategic Economics Behind GST Reforms
Prime Minister Modi’s August 15th announcement wasn’t mere political rhetoric—it was economic strategy backed by solid fiscal fundamentals. The government’s ability to implement these GST Reforms stems from a remarkable achievement: doubling GST collections while maintaining compliance levels above global benchmarks.
From my analysis of government finances, this GST Reforms initiative demonstrates three critical insights:
Revenue Confidence: The government’s willingness to reduce rates indicates strong underlying economic growth
Strategic Timing: These GST Reforms coincide with global trade uncertainties, positioning India competitively
The International Trade Connection
While domestic GST Reforms capture headlines, India’s simultaneous engagement with the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU) reveals sophisticated economic planning. The EAEU’s $6.5 trillion combined GDP—1.5 times India’s economy—presents enormous opportunities, especially as US trade tensions escalate.
The Moscow signing on August 20th wasn’t coincidental timing. With American tariffs threatening 55% of India’s US-bound exports, these GST Reforms and new trade partnerships represent India’s dual-pronged response to global economic headwinds.
Expert Analysis: Long-term Implications of GST Reforms
Inflationary Impact: These GST Reforms should provide immediate disinflationary pressure, particularly beneficial given current global commodity price volatility.
Consumption Boost: Lower rates will increase disposable income, potentially adding 0.3-0.5% to GDP growth through enhanced domestic consumption.
Business Simplification: Reduced compliance complexity under GST 2.0 will lower administrative costs for millions of small businesses.
Revenue Neutrality: Government projections suggest these GST Reforms will maintain revenue stability through increased transaction volumes and improved compliance.
The Luxury Goods Exception: Strategic Revenue Protection
Notably, these GST Reforms maintain higher rates on luxury items, tobacco, and aerated beverages—currently taxed above 40%. This selective approach demonstrates fiscal prudence, ensuring revenue streams from discretionary spending while providing relief on essentials.
Having observed similar tax reforms globally, this targeted approach mirrors successful models in Singapore and Australia, where lower rates on necessities coexist with higher luxury taxes.
Implementation Timeline: What Businesses Should Expect
September 2025: GST Council final approval expected October-November 2025: System updates and compliance preparations December 2025: Full GST implementation likely
Preparation Checklist for Businesses:
Review product classifications under new GST Reforms
Update pricing strategies reflecting tax rates
Modify invoicing and accounting systems
Train staff on simplified compliance procedures
Historical Context: Why These GST Reforms Matter
In my years covering Indian taxation, I’ve witnessed the transformation from a fragmented state-wise tax system to today’s unified GST structure. These GST Reforms represent the maturation of that vision—moving from basic implementation to sophisticated optimization.
The original GST faced criticism for complexity. These GST Reforms directly address those concerns while maintaining revenue adequacy. It’s a masterclass in iterative policy improvement.
Market Implications and Investment Opportunities
Immediate Winners from GST Reforms:
Consumer goods companies with mass-market products
E-commerce platforms dealing in electronics and apparel
Food processing and agriculture-allied industries
Healthcare and pharmaceutical sectors
Sectors Requiring Careful Analysis:
Premium automotive (rates remain elevated)
Tobacco and beverage companies (no relief)
Luxury goods retailers (continued high taxation)
Conclusion: A New Chapter in Indian Taxation
These GST Reforms represent more than tax rate adjustments—they signal India’s evolution into a consumption-driven economy with simplified business processes. The framework positions India advantageously as global supply chains reorganize and trade relationships shift.
For consumers, the message is clear: significant savings ahead on everyday essentials. For businesses, it’s an opportunity to expand market reach through improved affordability. For investors, it’s a signal of government commitment to growth-oriented policies.
After covering countless budget announcements and tax reforms, I can state with confidence: these GST Reforms will be remembered as a pivotal moment in India’s economic modernization journey.
About the Analysis: This assessment is based on official government announcements, expert consultations, and 15 years of experience analyzing Indian fiscal policy developments. Market participants should monitor final GST Council decisions for implementation specifics.
Artificial intelligence and generative AI are driving massive AI investment, with Nvidia and the Magnificent Seven fueling demand for data centers. While the stock market soars on AI optimism, experts warn of a possible dot-com comparison. Even Sam Altman admits AI is a bubble with real potential, making sustainable adoption crucial for long-term growth.
AI has become the defining technology of the decade, with Generative AI leading the charge in transforming industries. From text generation with ChatGPT to image synthesis and advanced automation, AI is being hailed as the next industrial revolution.
But beneath the excitement lies a deeper question: is the Machine Intelligence investment surge another dot-com comparison, where hype outpaces real-world adoption?
Nvidia, Data Centers, and the Magnificent Seven
AI bubble 2025 stock market insights with Nvidia and Magnificent Seven companies AI bubble or boost
No discussion about AI’s rise is complete without mentioning Nvidia. The company has become the backbone of the AI revolution, powering data centers with its GPUs. Nvidia’s meteoric stock rise has made it a core part of the Magnificent Seven—a group of tech giants including Microsoft, Apple, Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, Tesla, and Nvidia—that dominate the stock market.
While Nvidia’s growth is staggering, it raises the question: are we seeing sustainable AI-driven growth or a speculative bubble similar to the early 2000s tech crash?
AI Investment – From Hype to Reality
Global AI investment is pouring into startups, data infrastructure, and enterprise solutions. Wall Street analysts predict trillions in market value will be tied to AI over the next decade.
Yet, a recent MIT study shows that 95% of enterprise AI pilots fail to produce meaningful revenue. Despite billions of dollars in funding, the return on AI investment is often limited.
Sam Altman and the Bubble Debate

Even Sam Altman, CEO of OpenAI, acknowledges that AI may be a bubble but insists it is a “bubble built around a kernel of truth.” This perspective draws a direct dot-com comparison: the internet bubble saw countless failures, but also gave birth to transformative winners like Google and Amazon.
Today, AI companies face the same challenge—turning groundbreaking technology into profitable business models.
Stock Market Impact of AI
The stock market is highly sensitive to AI-related announcements. Companies tied to AI investment—from Nvidia to Palantir—experience dramatic share price shifts with every AI breakthrough or slowdown.
While the Magnificent Seven drive market optimism, skeptics warn that inflated valuations may not align with long-term profitability. The AI hype cycle could lead to corrections similar to those witnessed during the dot-com era.
Back-Office Automation – AI’s Silent Revolution
While flashy AI applications dominate headlines, the true business value lies in back-office automation. Automating repetitive tasks in data centers, logistics, and enterprise workflows delivers the strongest ROI.
Companies that focus on practical AI adoption rather than hype-driven marketing tools are better positioned to weather future market volatility.
