Mangalore: The Bearys Group has officially announced the grand launch of its much-awaited mixed-use development project, 'Bearys Turning Point', in Deralakatte, Mangalore. The announcement was made at a press conference held in the city, where Nand Kumar (Retail Head, Bearys Group), Bapu Nainar (PRO), Kodi Mohammed Iqbal, and Prafulla (Assistant Marketing) shared details about the landmark project.

The new development promises to redefine urban living and leisure in one of Mangalore’s fastest-growing areas. According to the officials, Bearys Turning Point is envisioned as a comprehensive destination combining premium apartments, diverse retail outlets, and a vibrant family entertainment experience under one roof.

At the heart of the project is a state-of-the-art Family Entertainment Centre (FEC) that includes a modern 4-screen multiplex, a well-designed multi-cuisine food court with premium dining ambience, and a range of attractions. The entertainment zone features interactive games, a four-lane bowling alley, the region’s largest indoor climbing wall, bumper cars, indoor cricket, and a dedicated play area for children.

The design of the entertainment space integrates the multiplex, FEC, and food court into one seamless layout, with high ceilings and expansive glazing that offer a blend of indoor and outdoor experiences. The space is further enhanced by panoramic views of the surrounding hills, which shift in appearance from day to night, creating two distinct visual atmospheres.

The name 'Bearys Turning Point' ,the team explained, reflects both its physical location at a turning on the main road and its symbolic meaning — representing progress, transformation, and new beginnings for the region.

The project also holds added significance due to its location in the constituency of U.T. Khader, Speaker of the Karnataka Legislative Assembly. The Bearys Group stated that the mall aligns with Khader's vision of transforming Mangalore constituency into a world-class city, and the group is proud to play its part in contributing to this larger dream.

Though initially scheduled to open in 2020, the project was delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Now, with work nearing completion, the Bearys Group is ready to welcome the public for the grand launch on Saturday, April 26, 2025, at 4:30 PM at Bearys Turning Point, Deralakatte.

On opening day, the mall will host free games for all visitors at its gaming hub. The retail complex will house more than 45 shops, and the next phase will see the opening of a sprawling hypermarket along with flagship outlets of leading global retail brands. The Mall also has separate prayer rooms for men and women inside the premises.

The management noted that over 25,000 students who reside and study in the Deralakatte education hub, along with residents of nearby areas including from neighbouring Kerala, will benefit from the mall's presence.

The mall will remain open until 11 PM daily, with the last screening at the multiplex beginning at 10:45 PM. The Bearys Group has extended an open invitation to the public, and all well-wishers to be part of this milestone event.

TraceX Labs has announced the launch of GEOX AI, an advanced artificial intelligence platform capable of identifying the real-world location where a photograph or video was taken using only the visual content within the media.

Positioned as an enterprise-grade intelligence solution, GEOX AI leverages advanced computer vision and multi-agent AI to analyze pixel-level details such as architecture, road patterns, vegetation, signage, lighting, and environmental context. By interpreting these visual clues, the system can estimate—and in many cases precisely determine—the origin of an image or video.

AI-Powered Geolocation Intelligence

Marketed under the concept of “Locate Anywhere From Any Image,” GEOX AI is designed for intelligence operations where speed, accuracy, and reliability are critical. The platform currently supports:

  • 400+ analyses available
  • <10 seconds average response time
  • Up to 99% accuracy on landmark-based identification
  • Global coverage across diverse terrains and environments

Core Capabilities

GEOX AI integrates multiple intelligence features into a single platform:

  • Precise Geolocation:
    Identifies exact geographic coordinates using visual landmarks, architecture, vegetation, and cultural indicators.
  • Satellite Map View:
    Results are plotted on live satellite imagery with 2D/3D viewing options and multiple map styles for deeper analysis.
  • AI Reasoning Analysis:
    Provides a detailed explanation of how the system arrived at a conclusion, including confidence scoring.
  • Multi-Result Analysis:
    Returns multiple possible locations ranked by confidence, enabling cross-verification.
  • Intelligence PDF Export:
    Allows one-click generation of professional reports containing maps, coordinates, analysis, and structured findings.
  • Credit-Based Access:
    Agencies are allocated credits, with each analysis consuming one credit. Additional credits can be requested directly.

Speed Meets Intelligence

GEOX AI is designed to balance rapid processing with analytical depth:

  • Fast Mode: Delivers results within seconds for clear and high-context images
  • Advanced Mode: Performs deeper multi-step analysis for complex or ambiguous visuals
  • Built for real-time decision-making in high-pressure environments

How GEOX AI Works

The platform follows a simple and efficient workflow:

  1. Upload any image or video frame
  2. AI analyzes visual clues such as structures, terrain, and environment
  3. The system identifies location with coordinates, confidence score, and reasoning
  4. Results are displayed on an interactive satellite map
  5. Export a professional intelligence report in one click

A Breakthrough for Investigations

GEOX AI is expected to have wide-ranging applications across multiple domains:

  • Tracking the origin of images from social media and open sources
  • Supporting digital forensics and cyber investigations
  • Assisting law enforcement and intelligence operations
  • Helping journalists and OSINT analysts verify visual content
  • Providing support in missing person cases and threat intelligence scenarios

Enterprise Access and Deployment

GEOX AI is available to verified law enforcement agencies, intelligence organizations, and authorized enterprises. Access is provided through a structured system where organizations can request credentials and define their operational use cases.

Interested users can request access via tracexlabs.com or contact contact@tracexlabs.com, with response times typically within 24–48 hours.

Privacy Debate Intensifies

The launch of GEOX AI has also sparked renewed discussion around digital privacy. By demonstrating how location data can be extracted purely from visible elements within images, the platform highlights the potential risks associated with sharing photos online without considering what those visuals may reveal.

Conclusion

With GEOX AI, TraceX Labs is entering the rapidly evolving geolocation intelligence space with a platform that combines speed, precision, and real-world usability. As artificial intelligence continues to advance, tools like GEOX AI are expected to play a critical role in shaping the future of investigations, security, and digital intelligence.
