In the news release, PadUp Ventures and Unicity Labs Partner to Bring Agentic Commerce Infrastructure to India, issued Feb. 27, 2026 by Unicity Labs over PR Newswire, there was a typo in the original headline, as incorrectly transmitted by PR Newswire. The complete, corrected release follows:

PadUp Ventures and Unicity Labs Partner to Bring Agentic Commerce Infrastructure to India

Agentic AI startup program will enable Indian startups to build AI agent-powered commerce applications on the Unicity Protocol

ZUG, Switzerland, Feb. 27, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Unicity Labs, the company pioneering autonomous agentic marketplaces, and PadUp Ventures, one of India’s leading startup incubators, today announced a strategic partnership to accelerate the development of agentic commerce infrastructure across the Indian startup ecosystem.

The Agentic AI startup program from Unicity Labs and PadUp Ventures will enable Indian startups to build AI agent-powered commerce applications on the Unicity Protocol
The Agentic AI startup program from Unicity Labs and PadUp Ventures will enable Indian startups to build AI agent-powered commerce applications on the Unicity Protocol

The partnership will identify, mentor, and fund Indian startups building applications where AI agents can discover, negotiate, and transact autonomously: from SMB sales automation to supply chain coordination to cross-border payments.

The Agentic Commerce Opportunity

As AI agents become capable of acting on behalf of businesses and consumers, they need infrastructure purpose-built for machine-speed commerce. Today’s payment rails and marketplaces were designed for humans, not millions of agents negotiating and settling transactions simultaneously. Traditional blockchains create consensus bottlenecks. Centralized platforms sacrifice trustlessness. Neither scales to the demands of the autonomous economy.

The Unicity Protocol solves this: a novel peer-to-peer blockchain architecture that eliminates the shared ledger entirely, enabling private negotiation, atomic settlement, and throughput exceeding 300 million transactions per second with 1-second finality and fixed microcent fees.

“India has 63 million SMBs, most of them bandwidth-constrained,” said Pankaj Thakar, Partner at PadUp Ventures. “They can’t afford sales teams or 24/7 customer support. AI agents change that equation entirely; but only if the infrastructure exists for agents to transact at scale. That’s what Unicity provides.”

What the Program Includes

PadUp is launching a dedicated Agentic Commerce Track within its acceleration program PrepUp, focused on startups building on the Unicity Protocol. The partnership will drive joint go-to-market efforts targeting Indian SMBs and enterprises, with qualified startups gaining access to investment from both PadUp’s network and Unicity’s ecosystem fund.

  • Dedicated Agentic Commerce Track: PadUp will launch a focused acceleration track for startups building on the Unicity Protocol
  • Go-to-Market in India: Joint efforts to bring agentic commerce solutions to Indian SMBs and enterprises
  • Funding: Qualified startups will have access to investment from both PadUp’s network and Unicity’s ecosystem fund

Why India

India’s startup ecosystem, now the world’s third-largest with over 112,000 recognized startups — is uniquely positioned for agentic commerce adoption. A massive, underserved SMB market, deep developer talent across AI and blockchain, rapidly expanding digital payments infrastructure, and established cross-border trade corridors to the UAE, Southeast Asia, and beyond make it one of the highest-potential markets for the autonomous economy.

“India doesn’t just adopt technology, it scales it,” said Mike Gault, CEO of Unicity Labs. “UPI proved that. We believe Indian founders will build some of the most important agentic commerce applications in the world, and PadUp is exactly the right partner to find and support them.”

About Unicity Labs

Unicity Labs is building the infrastructure for the autonomous agentic internet. The Unicity Protocol replaces shared ledgers with peer-to-peer cryptographic objects, enabling AI agents to discover, transact, and settle autonomously. Founded by veterans of blockchain and cryptography, Unicity Labs has raised $3M in seed funding led by Blockchange Ventures with participation from Outlier Ventures and Tawasal. The company is headquartered in Abu Dhabi. The Unicity Foundation, established in Switzerland, oversees protocol development and community governance.

NEW YORK and SEOUL, South Korea, Feb. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Korean skincare brand Purito Seoul has officially announced its new brand slogan, ‘From Soil to Seoul,’ Alongside this declaration, the brand will begin rolling out a series of global marketing initiatives centered around the new message. The first chapter of this expansion will be the ‘Oat Latte Campaign,’ launching with a pop-up event on March 2 in New York City’s West Village.

Purito seoul's Oat Latte Campaign, NY POP-UP 'You look Oatmazing!'
Purito seoul’s Oat Latte Campaign, NY POP-UP ‘You look Oatmazing!’

  • ‘From Soil to Seoul‘ — Progressive Skincare Rooted in Essence

CEO Inje Cho of Purito Seoul stated that the newly introduced slogan, ‘From Soil to Seoul‘ encapsulates the brand’s philosophy.

‘Soil’ represents the origin of ingredients—the earth and the purity of nature—while ‘Seoul‘ symbolizes the modern refinement and sophisticated sensibility that complete the formulation process.

Amid ever-changing beauty trends, the brand emphasizes a rigorous philosophy of selecting only what is essential. By transforming naturally derived ingredients into advanced skincare solutions, Purito Seoul aims to highlight its expertise as a progressive skincare brand. Moving beyond the concept of ‘clean beauty,’ the company seeks to establish itself globally through refined ingredient philosophy and scientific formulation, delivering trusted skincare solutions to consumers worldwide.

  •  The ‘Oat Latte Campaign’ Begins in New York

CMO Wooseob Oh of Purito Seoul announced that the ‘Oat Latte Campaign’ will serve as the brand’s first global campaign under the new slogan.

Inspired by oats, the campaign visualizes the same sensibility embodied in the brand’s bestselling Oat in Calming Gel Cream through the familiar and comforting object of an “oat latte.” Just as an oat latte conveys softness and warmth, the product gently absorbs into the skin without irritation, delivering soothing comfort to everyday life.

Through this approach, Purito Seoul positions the oat latte not merely as a concept, but as a symbolic medium representing the sensory experience the product delivers to the skin—clearly and intuitively communicating the brand message.

The campaign will officially begin with a pop-up event on March 2 in New York, a global hub of trends and culture and a key gateway for the global expansion of K-beauty. Designed as more than a simple product showcase, the pop-up will offer an immersive, multi-sensory experience of the brand’s philosophy.

Purito Seoul stated, “Through this pop-up, we aim to symbolically declare our renewed brand vision and expand our connection with global consumers and local media through diverse experiential programs and curated content.”

  • 2026: Expanding Globally Across Online and Offline Platforms

CEO Inje Cho added that beginning with the Oat Latte Campaign, Purito Seoul plans to sequentially introduce a wide range of brand activities throughout the year, spanning both online and offline channels.

Through digital content campaigns, global social media communications, and experiential offline events, the brand intends to deepen its relationship with consumers while consistently conveying the message of ‘From Soil to Seoul‘.

A brand representative commented, “Purito Seoul is a brand born from a relentless pursuit of essence. Starting with our New York pop-up, we plan to further solidify our philosophy and expertise in the global market.”

The New York pop-up is expected to serve as a significant milestone, signaling Purito Seoul (https://purito.com)’s renewed brand direction and global expansion. From nature’s soil to refinement in Seoul—and now extending that journey onto the world stage—the brand’s next chapter is drawing increasing attention across the industry.

“Recovered But Won’t Play” No More: EaseUS Deep Video Reconstruct Gives Life Back to Seemingly Lost Videos on Cameras, Drones, Dashcams

By
Advertorial Desk
-

NEW YORK, Feb. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — For users who have experienced the frustration of “recovered but unplayable” video files, EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard, an industry-leading, easy-to-use data recovery software, offers a specialized solution: Deep Video Reconstruct (DVR). This frame-level recovery engine is designed to tackle fragmented card video recovery, one of the most stubborn data loss challenges caused by the way modern cameras write footage across SD cards.

Modern cameras don’t store video as one continuous file. They scatter picture, audio, and timestamp data across the SD card like jigsaw pieces. When an SD card is formatted or corrupted, traditional software retrieves only fragments, resulting in corrupted, unplayable footage.

DVR is the industry’s first technology to reverse-engineer the multi-stream writing flogic of major camera brands, intelligently reassembling fragmented video frames in their original order.

Four scenarios where DVR changes everything:

Professional Videographers: Wedding, documentary, corporate shoots that cannot be reshot. DVR was built for this moment. It goes deep into Canon, Sony, and Nikon cards, finds the fragmented 4K and H.265 files, and puts them back together exactly as they came out of the camera. No transcoding. No quality drop. Just the file you thought was gone, ready to drop into the timeline.

Action Sports & Travel: GoPro, DJI, Insta360, they write video in short, aggressive bursts to keep up with high frame rates, and when things go wrong, the files fall apart into hundreds of pieces. Most SD card recovery software looks at this mess and says “unsupported.” DVR doesn’t. It works through the fragments, finds the sequence, and hands you back a clip that actually plays.

Dashcam Owners: Hit-and-runs, insurance disputes. One corrupted file can mean lost evidence. DVR recovers critical footage frame-by-frame from sudden power cuts or loop overwrites.

Everyday Families: First steps. Last holidays. The photos you never backed up. One accidental format and they’re gone, until DVR turns “I formatted the card” into “pass the popcorn.” No technical skills required. Just the relief of watching those moments play again, exactly as you remembered them.

“For years, users heard: ‘Your files are recovered, but they won’t play.’ That’s not recovery, that’s an illusion,” said EaseUS Product Director. “DVR closes the final gap. A recovered video should be watchable, usable, shareable. Anything less is unacceptable.”

Deep Video Reconstruct is now integrated into EaseUS Data Recovery Wizard Professional. A free trial allows users to scan and preview recoverable videos before purchase.

About EaseUS Software

EaseUS provides professional IT solutions for home, education, and SMB users in data recovery, backup, system optimization, partition management, and multimedia on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. Founded in 2004, the company now serves over 100,000,000 users worldwide. For more information, please visit http://www.easeus.com

Powered by an advanced 6-wavelength configuration, the BQ60Pro delivers enhanced irradiance for multi-depth tissue support—while its innovative, space-saving mounting system allows 360° rotation and flexible positioning for precise, convenient red light treatment anywhere.

“BQ60’s strong market performance proved the maturity and reliability of its core design framework,” says Jacob, CEO of BestQool. “The BQ60Pro not only builds on that foundation with broader spectral distribution but, crucially, also gives our customers an unprecedentedly flexible, compact panel mounting solution.”

The new device from BestQool has been FDA cleared, confirming its high efficiency and gentle safety. The BQ60Pro is now available at a special retail price of just 289 USD.

Same 60 LEDs, Stronger Output, Smarter Reach
Even though the BQ60Pro has the same number of LEDs as the previous version, the new device has significantly expanded its wavelength configuration to include 630 nm, 660 nm, 680 nm, 810 nm, 850 nm, and 940 nm. In addition, thanks to improved power output, the BQ60Pro achieves localized irradiance up to 65.7 mW/cm² (at a distance of 6 inches). Combined with its 6-wavelength configuration, this enhanced output enables interaction with tissues at varying depths, supporting a range of physiological functions:

  • 630 nm & 660 nm: Stimulates collagen production, improves skin tone, and supports superficial skin healing [1].
  • 680 nm: Supports reparative processes in the middle layers of the skin and wound healing [2].
  • 810 nm & 850 nm: Improves blood flow and circulation, supports muscle recovery, and has anti-inflammatory effects [3].
  • 940 nm: Promotes deep tissue oxygenation and overall tissue recovery [4].

Innovative Mounting Solution: Save Floor Space, Target With Flexibility
BQ60Pro features a rotatable stand and new base design for flexible, user-friendly operation in various environments.

  • Space-Saving Mount Above the Floor: Includes hanging hardware and a clip to secure the device on the edge of desks, bedside tables, or other elevated surfaces, freeing tabletop and floor space.
  • Precision in Every Angle: The panel supports 360° rotations and 90° upward tilt, allowing flexible setup anywhere.

Unlike the panel devices commonly seen on the market that offer only fixed horizontal or vertical irradiation, the flexibility of the BQ60Pro is entirely defined by the user’s imagination. Users who wanted to receive facial or targeted red light therapy while lying in bed had to invest in bulky floor stands or dedicated mounting systems. Those who wished to use red light therapy in workout environments often had to improvise—propping one side of the device up with weight plates or other objects to achieve the proper treatment angle.

Now, the BQ60Pro can simply be secured to a headboard or existing equipment within a gym, enabling precise and comprehensive treatment sessions with maximum convenience and minimal setup.

Featuring a 6-wavelength configuration, enhanced output, and a flexible, space-saving mounting design, the BQ60Pro is now available on BestQool’s Amazon store and its official website.

About BestQool
BestQool’s mission is to bring clinically validated light therapy into daily routines. By combining user-centered design and advanced product iteration, they provide safe, effective photobiomodulation technology for personal care and small professional environments.

The vehicle’s proprietary evSense technology serves as a significant competitive moat. Utilizing advanced smart algorithms and LiDAR, the evSense system continuously maps the full complexity of the user’s environment in real-time. It makes seamless adjustments to proactively prevent collisions with walls, furniture, pedestrians, and pets, redefining safety and user independence.

“Securing the iF Design Award is a validation of our strategic vision and execution,” said Tony Hong, CEO of Strutt. “Following our CES Innovation Award and Red Dot: Luminary recognition, we are seeing these industry accolades translate directly into robust early-bird sales traction. Our focus remains on scaling our operations to meet this accelerating demand and delivering a product that removes the practical barriers of daily mobility.”

Following the rapid sell-out of its initial run, Strutt has released an additional allocation and reopened pre-orders. Pre-orders will remain open through the end of February via Strutt’s official website: Strutt ev¹ Pre-Order Deposit
