Hello,Acquisitions are turning into precision bets, as companies like OpenAI and Amazon race to buy talent and capabilities they can’t afford to build slowly.Amazon.com said on Tuesday it would acquire Globalstar in an $11.57 billion deal, bolstering its fledgling satellite business as it looks to take ​on Elon Musk-led Starlink. Shares of satellite company Globalstar were up more than 9% ‌in premarket trading, after gaining over 6% in the past two weeks following media reports of the companies’ discussions.Meanwhile, OpenAI has acquired Hiro, a fintech startup, marking the latest step in a period of rapid expansion for the ChatGPT maker as it seeks to move beyond general-purpose models and into specialised, high-precision tools.The acquisition is structured as an acqui-hire, which is an arrangement where a company is purchased primarily to recruit its talented employees rather than to continue its existing products.

Consequently, the standalone Hiro app is scheduled to shut down on April 20. The company is also widening its footprint through partnerships. Danish drugmaker Novo Nordisk, which has fallen behind Eli Lilly in the immensely lucrative weight-loss drug market, said it is partnering with OpenAI to deploy artificial intelligence across its business, from drug discovery to ​manufacturing and commercial operations.The maker of Wegovy and Ozempic said the partnership would use OpenAI's ​technology to analyse complex datasets, identify promising drug candidates and improve efficiency in ⁠manufacturing, supply chains, distribution, and corporate operations.In today’s newsletter, we will talk about Building enterprise platforms at speedGE Aerospace bets on AIHere’s your trivia for today: In computing history, who were the “Dirty Dozen”?In-focusBuilding enterprise platforms at speedSeeing enterprises struggle with fragmented vendors and inconsistent execution, Rahul Jain co-founded Pixeldust Technologies in 2018 with Sandip Baradiya, Mohammed Sunasra, and Tapan Vaghela to offer a single transformation partner for building cohesive digital platforms.
