Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 8400 Ultimate chipset, the smartphone features Infinix's HydroFlow Liquid Cooling system for sustained gaming performance and a cyber mecha-inspired design. Going beyond hardware and specifications, the GT 50 Pro brings together collaborations with Dolby and Honor of Kings (HOK) to expand the gaming experience across cloud gaming, immersive audio with Dolby Atmos and competitive esports. These partnerships reflect Infinix's focus on building an experience that extends beyond device performance, giving consumers more ways to play, experience and compete.

That's why we're bringing more than just a phone this time. With Dolby, Honor of Kings and an ecosystem that we'll reveal soon, the Infinix GT 50 Pro is built around the complete gaming experience, not just the device,". Infinix x Dolby: Bringing Greater Depth to Gaming Audio Infinix is partnering with Dolby Laboratories for the Infinix GT 50 Pro, bringing Dolby Atmos, an innovative audio technology that delivers an immersive, multidimensional sound experience, elevating the gaming and entertainment experience to new heights. Adding another dimension to the device's performance-led proposition, the collaboration focuses on how sound can shape the way players experience a game. Dolby Atmos goes beyond the capabilities of stereo and surround sound, unlocking a richer, fuller and more immersive experience. It is not about making audio louder; it is about making it more lifelike and immersive. With immersive audio on supported games, Dolby Atmos places sounds all around the player, bringing greater depth and direction to in-game sounds, from approaching footsteps to distant gunfire, helping players better perceive their surroundings. Whether navigating competitive battles or exploring virtual worlds, the enhanced audio experience brings players closer to the action.

As part of the collaboration, Infinix will be the lead sponsor of the KCS India Finale, taking place on 23 October 2026 in Mumbai. The winning five-member team will receive brand-new Infinix devices. The finale marks the culmination of the annual esports circuit leading up to the Honor of Kings international tournaments The partnership brings together the Infinix GT 50 Pro's gaming capabilities and HOK's competitive ecosystem, highlighting the importance of speed, precision and responsiveness in MOBA gameplay. Through this association, Infinix aims to deepen its engagement with the competitive gaming community and connect with players who value high-performance gaming experiences. Together, these collaborations represent a broader approach to gaming, one that goes beyond device specifications to encompass the content, immersive audio and competitive experiences that matter to players. With the GT 50 Pro, Infinix is continuing to build its GT gaming proposition around not just how games perform, but how consumers experience them. The Infinix GT 50 Pro launches in India on October 27, 2026. Stay tuned for more updates. About Infinix India Founded in 2013, Infinix is a trendy tech brand crafted for young consumers.

Jayesh Veralkar leaves Dolby after thirteen years for A record label.

Jayesh Veralkar leaves Dolby after thirteen years for A record label. Jayesh Veralkar has left Dolby after more than thirteen years to work full time as co-founder of Vinyl Souk, a UAE-based culture platform. * Leaving: Dolby, joined August 2013 * Last role: senior marketing manager for the Middle East, Africa and Turkiye * Joining: Vinyl Souk, full time from October 2026, hybrid from Dubai * At Dolby: launched Dolby Cinema in the Middle East, led regional brand and partner marketing * Vinyl Souk since 2023: more than 10,000 attendees across 50-plus experiences with 240-plus artists What jayesh Veralkar is Leaving for. Vinyl Souk works across independent music, vinyl and the arts, running live events, education, a multi-venue festival and its own label, Vinyl Souk Records. The projects include Souk Sessions, Souk Lab, the Vinyl Souk Mini Festival and Made in the Emirates, a compilation series of UAE independent music. The figures, which the platform states, are the interesting part. Reaching 10,000 people across 50-plus experiences is not a hobby, and a compilation series and a label are infrastructure rather than events. Why this is A recognisable career shape. Marketing leaders who leave for a passion project usually leave for something that does not exist yet. This is the other version, where the thing already works and the day job has become the constraint on it. The earlier career explains the appetite. Before Dolby came five years at Sony Music India as label head of DAY 1, part of the Sony Music Independent Network, and before that roles at IBM, Integreon, Star India's Channel V, and an events company of his own founding, Eventuality Inc. What was said. Marking the departure, Veralkar described it as the end of an incredible chapter, held with gratitude for the journey and the learnings, and said what started as a passion project has grown into something deeply believed in.

Jayesh Veralkar leaves Dolby after 13 years to co-found Vinyl Souk full-time.

Jayesh Veralkar leaves Dolby after 13 years to co-found Vinyl Souk full-time. The marketer who launched Dolby Cinema in the Middle East turns his attention to the UAE music and culture platform that has reached more than 10K attendees since 2023 3 hours ago October 8, 2026 DUBAI: From cinema screens to vinyl grooves, and no turning back. Jayesh Veralkar has left Dolby after more than 13 years to begin a new chapter as co-founder of Vinyl Souk, the UAE-based culture platform built around independent music, vinyl and the arts. "Today marks the end of an incredible chapter for me," he said, adding that he is leaving "with immense gratitude for the journey and the learnings". The move turns a side project into the main act. "What started as a passion project has grown into something I deeply believe in, and I'm excited to now give it my full energy and see where we can take it," he said. His full-time role at Vinyl Souk, based in Dubai on a hybrid basis, began in October 2026. "Grateful for everything that brought me here. Excited for what comes next. Onwards," he signed off. Jayesh describes his career as one spent working where music, technology, brands and audiences meet. At Dolby, which he joined in August 2013, he was senior marketing manager for the Middle East, Africa and Turkey, leading partner marketing across the Middle East, Africa and Türkiye. His job was to translate global priorities into regional launches, partnerships and audience experiences across cinema, consumer entertainment and music. As the regional lead for brand and partner marketing, he was responsible for developing marketing programmes for Dolby-enabled products and experiences through data-driven integrated marketing campaigns, working with cross-functional teams and external agencies. His proudest line on the Dolby CV is a big one. He successfully launched Dolby Cinema, described as the most advanced and premium cinema experience in the Middle East. Working with exhibition partners, local studios and distributors, he drove preference among moviegoers for the Dolby Cinema experience through a blend of brand and title marketing campaigns, and says he was laser-focused on constantly improving admissions and occupancy. As part of the geo marketing team, he also worked closely with sales and the business group to develop and enable the ecosystem around Dolby's home entertainment technologies, including Dolby Audio, Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos. The team was tasked with delivering Dolby's innovation story consistently across all communications. Vinyl Souk, which he co-founded, is a UAE-based music and culture platform built around discovery, community and independent artists. Through live events, education, a multi-venue festival and Vinyl Souk Records, it has created space for emerging talent, local scenes and audiences to connect. The numbers are healthy for a platform of its kind: since 2023, Vinyl Souk has reached more than 10K attendees through 50+ curated experiences, featuring 240+ regional and international artists. Its work includes Souk Sessions, Souk Lab, the Vinyl Souk Mini Festival and Made in the Emirates, a physical-first compilation series documenting independent music from the UAE. The roots of this move run deep. Earlier, at Sony Music India, Jayesh established and led an independent music vertical focused on unsigned artists, live programming, talent management and bookings. His profile lists him as label head of DAY 1 (Sony Music Independent Network) at Sony Music Entertainment in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region from August 2008 to August 2013, where he helped the company foray into new music business verticals such as live, talent management and booking to promote emerging and independent talent. Before that, the path was varied. He was category manager for marketing and sales (BTO procurement services) at IBM from December 2006 to August 2008, interfacing with key marketing and sales stakeholders at Unilever India to fulfil marketing and sales procurement projects, carrying out market research and analysis, and driving procurement projects at a regional level. At Integreon, from October 2005 to December 2006, he was manager, marketing, devising marketing plans and budget allocations with sales leadership, providing direct customer marketing and sales support, establishing marketing metrics to measure return on investment, building thought leadership and share of voice through communications, and managing the website and intranet. At Star India Pvt Ltd, from November 2004 to October 2005, he was marketing consultant for Channel [V]. He marketed on-air shows and ground events through advertising, ground promotions and public relations, conceptualised on-ground intellectual properties for brand extension, formed strategic alliances with record labels, clubs, hotels and other partners for marketing activations, managed talent including VJs and reality show winners, and ran digital marketing across web and mobile. From February 2002 to November 2004, he was chief strategist at Eventuality Inc., his own entrepreneurial venture into music-focused events and brand activations. There he conceptualised, marketed and produced events and promotions based on client briefs, programmed music and entertainment for hotels, bars and clubs, partnered with record labels for album launches and provided tour management services to local and international DJs and bands, along with client servicing and business development. His career began at EIPR (India) Ltd., from February 2000 to January 2001, in client servicing and business development, coordinating with intelligence and information security groups countrywide to service existing projects. The analysis is simple. Few marketers can claim to have worked for a multinational technology firm, a major record label, a music channel and their own events company, and few platforms in the Gulf's music scene can claim a founder who understands all four worlds. Jayesh says he is most interested in work that earns a place in culture rather than simply borrowing from it. That means building through strong local insight, artist trust, thoughtful content and experiences that fans genuinely want to be part of. For Vinyl Souk, his full-time arrival brings corporate discipline and a deep partner network to a scene that thrives on independence. For Jayesh, it is a chance to put 13 years of learning behind a cause he loves. The needle is down, and the record is spinning.
