Motiwala cultivates an untapped digital gold market in Southeast Asia

Published

on

Ever since the outbreak of Covid-19, investors worldwide have turned to transfer part of their assets into gold investment to avoid market uncertainties and take advantage of gold’s reliable store of value. Investors have always cited gold as a safe haven when market uncertainties intensify, and the events in 2020 further confirmed the established correlation between gold and market risk levels.

Since January 2020, the gold price has zipped up 25% by the end of the year, even hitting a record high of over $2,000 per ounce at one point for the first time in history.

Along with the growth of demand for gold-related investments, supply grows too. A Dubai-based precious metal supplier known as Motiwala caught sight of the growth in demand and is determined to make use of this opportunity to become a world leader in the precious metal industry.

How Motiwala accumulated sand grain into mountain

Motiwala Jewellers LLC is a certified precious metal refinery, gold processor, bullion manufacturer, and precious metal supplier based in Dubai. Renowned for its complete and diversified rare metal business network, Motiwala Jewellers is one of the top 5 gold merchants globally and one of the largest refineries in the Middle East region.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day. It takes a lot of passion and hard work to build such a spectacular precious metal empire. Its founder, Iqbal Bhai from Pakistan, founded Motiwala 40 years ago and has been in the gold industry since then. He started as a gold and jewellery wholesaler in his home country and later found success when he filed a patent for the international gold market fair in Dubai after discovering its undeveloped gold market.

Through several decades of development, Motiwala Jewellers established subsidiary companies to further diversify the range of services it provides and as an effort to complete its supply chain. It is now the holding company of Motiwala Gold Trading, Motiwala Gold & Precious Stone Industry, Motiwala Gold & Metal Laboratory, Shaheen Exchange.

Since then, the company’s businesses have expanded to cover gold mining, processing, jewellery design, jewellery retail stores, physical gold trading, gold and metal laboratories, precious stones & diamond retail stores, and currency exchange.

With its refinery and an ISO 17025 certified in-house laboratory, Motiwala can produce gold bullion at the finest quality and allow investors to purchase gold bars ranging from 1 gram to 100 grams in size at a competitive price in its physical stores, thus allowing all investors to start investing in gold regardless of their capital size.

Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven

The gold market in Asia, Southeast Asia in particular, are underdeveloped, but experts are confident that Southeast Asia has a bright future as a digital gold haven in the near future as Southeast Asia has one of the fastest rates of digital payment adoption and more than 400 million internet users. The strong tech foundations were laid by the appealing regulatory landscape and strong government support that has escalated the growth of innovation and healthy competition in this region.

In response to the year-long pandemic crisis, part of the gold and jewellery retailers in Asia are moving their retail businesses onto the internet to reach online consumers and combat the highly contagious virus simultaneously. With robust governance and regulations, digital gold has been gaining much traction in the Southeast Asia market.

Tapping into Southeast Asia’s growing digital gold landscape

Envisioned to become the world leader for dealers and traders from across the globe and to achieve sustainable quality growth, Motiwala co-founded Moti Investment Capital (MIC) in 2018 to expand its global presence in the capital trading sector. The establishment of MIC will enable investors to achieve low-risk, sustainable returns using Motiwala’s unique set of the gold supply chain.

As the first step to globalize its operation, Motiwala has tapped into Southeast Asian countries, providing a wide array of services to the new countries, including asset management, physical gold trading and more. With Motiwala’s supply chain and diverse line of services, it will allow investors to purchase physical gold even if the investors are located outside of Dubai.

In 2018, member countries in the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) had consumed 309 tonnes of gold, making Southeast Asia the third-largest market for gold in the world. With the combination of rapid digital adoption, the cultural importance of gold in the region, and low expansion costs, it makes Southeast Asia an ideal region as the first step in Motiwala’s globalization.

MOTIWALA announces partnership with BIS

Motiwala has recently announced its partnership with BIS to expand its global presence. BIS Holding is the first of its kind asset management firm to provide unique investment opportunities for investors, allowing clients to have the privilege to participate in the markets like a real corporate level liquidity provider.

“We are excited to partner with BIS,” said Iqbal Bhai, Founder of Motiwala group. “Through this strategic partnership, Motiwala and BIS can form a clear win-win relationship to provide more value to your existing customers. It would also bolster the long-term partnership between Motiwala and BIS as both firms continue to seek opportunities to achieve business expansion.”

Press Release

Donato Tramuto Urges Shift Toward Compassionate Leadership in Schools, Workplaces, and Government

Published

on

  • As burnout, division, and disconnection rise, Tramuto calls on individuals to lead with care—starting with themselves

Ogunquit, Maine, 16th January 2026, ZEX PR WIRE, Donato Tramuto, global health leader and founder of the TramutoPorter Foundation, is sounding the alarm on a growing leadership crisis—and offering a solution that starts with each of us: compassion.

Through his work across healthcare, education, and global advocacy, Tramuto has championed compassionate leadership as a powerful tool to transform broken systems and burnt-out communities. His call to action comes amid growing evidence that leaders at every level—CEOs, principals, and policymakers—are facing increasing pressure to lead with empathy, not ego.

“You can’t lead effectively in today’s world without understanding the human side of leadership,” said Tramuto. “The next generation expects it. The current generation needs it. And it starts with how we show up every day—with care, courage, and curiosity.”

The Leadership Crisis by the Numbers

Data paints a clear picture:

  • 70% of executives have considered quitting due to burnout (Deloitte, 2023)

  • 79% of educators report high job-related stress (NEA, 2023)

  • 63% of Gen Z don’t trust political leaders to do the right thing (Harvard Youth Poll, 2023)

At the same time, there is rising demand for emotionally intelligent leadership:

  • 84% of employees prefer leaders who show empathy and support (LinkedIn, 2024)

  • Teams led by compassionate managers report 23% better performance and 50% lower burnout (Stanford, 2022)

“We keep rewarding speed, output, and control,” Tramuto said. “But what we actually need are leaders who slow down, listen, and connect. That’s where the impact lives.”

Compassion in Action: What It Looks Like

Through his Foundation’s global programs—including the Compassionate Leadership Italy Cohort—Tramuto has helped educators, healthcare professionals, and young leaders build real-world skills rooted in care and connection.

Participants in these programs report:

  • Greater trust among teams

  • Higher engagement from students

  • More confidence navigating conflict and identity-based conversations

One participant in Florence said, “This was the first leadership training that made me feel seen—not just as a teacher, but as a person.”

The Call to Action: Start with You

Tramuto isn’t asking for new policies or big donations. He’s asking people—especially those in leadership positions—to look inward.

“Before we ask others to change, we need to model it ourselves. That means checking in on our own well-being. That means making space for honest conversations. That means caring out loud.”

Here are 5 small ways anyone can lead with compassion right now:

1. Start Meetings with a Human Check-In

Ask how people are doing before diving into tasks. It builds trust and lowers tension.

2. Replace Judgment with Curiosity

When conflict arises, ask: “What else could be going on here?” Pause before reacting.

3. Say ‘I Don’t Know’ More Often

Admitting uncertainty creates psychological safety. It invites collaboration.

4. Celebrate Quiet Wins

Recognize effort, not just outcomes. A simple “I saw what you did there” goes far.

5. Practice One Act of Self-Compassion Daily

Take a five-minute break. Write down what went well. Forgive a small mistake. Leading others starts with leading yourself.

Looking Ahead

Tramuto’s efforts are gaining momentum. The TramutoPorter Foundation is expanding its educator fellowship, planning new cross-cultural initiatives, and launching training resources designed for today’s most critical environments—schools, boardrooms, and communities.

“This isn’t about being soft,” Tramuto emphasized. “It’s about being strong enough to lead with heart—and smart enough to know that it works.”

About Donato Tramuto

Donato Tramuto is an award-winning healthcare executive, author of The Double Bottom Line, and founder of the TramutoPorter Foundation. Known globally for his work in compassionate leadership, he has empowered thousands of students, educators, and professionals to lead with empathy, effectiveness, and purpose.

About the TramutoPorter Foundation

Founded in 2001, the TramutoPorter Foundation has impacted over 130 organizations and countless individuals through its support of education, healthcare access, and human rights. Its Compassionate Leadership initiatives span the U.S. and Europe, creating ripple effects in classrooms, companies, and communities.

Placevy Announces Free Global Address Generation Service: 192 Countries Available for Developers, Writers, and Everyday Users

Published

on

Zero-cost platform delivers 1.35 million addresses monthly with instant, no-registration access for software testing, creative projects, and personal use

United States, 16th Jan 2026 Placevy, a free global address generation platform, today announced it has generated 1.35 million addresses since its late 2025 launch, serving users across 192 countries who need realistic addresses for software testing, creative writing, and everyday needs. The platform operates completely free, requires no registration, and handles approximately 45,000 address requests daily.

Most address verification services charge between $0.02 and $0.50 per request. For development teams running hundreds of test scenarios, those costs add up quickly. Placevy removes that barrier entirely—no credit card, no sign-up form, no hidden fees.

“Developers shouldn’t have to pay for basic testing infrastructure,” said Stella Johnson, Marketing Lead at Placevy. “Address generation is something QA teams need constantly when building e-commerce sites, payment systems, or logistics apps. We made it free because testing tools should be available to everyone, whether you’re at a startup or working solo.”

Platform Growth and Usage

Since launching in late 2025, Placevy has seen steady adoption across different user groups:

  • 1.35 million addresses generated across 192 countries since launch
  • 45,000 daily requests on average
  • 1.35 million monthly generations at current usage rates
  • 192 countries and territories supported including all G20 nations

The most requested regions include North America, Europe, Asia-Pacific, and Scandinavia, with users spanning software development teams, independent creators, and individual users worldwide.

Technical Features Built for Real-World Use

Each generated address includes the details that matter for testing and verification:

  • Valid postal codes that match the actual format for each country (ZIP codes for the US, postcodes for the UK, etc.)
  • Geographic coordinates providing latitude and longitude for location-based testing
  • Proper formatting based on how people in each country actually write addresses
  • Real street types including Avenue, Boulevard, Drive, Lane, Court—not fabricated names
  • Bulk export options for teams that need hundreds or thousands of addresses
  • API access with straightforward documentation for automated workflows

Response times average under 200 milliseconds for single requests. Bulk exports deliver CSV files within minutes, enabling seamless integration into testing pipelines.

Solving the Address Testing Cost Problem

Traditional address APIs charge per request, creating budget barriers for comprehensive testing. A development team testing an e-commerce checkout across ten countries might run thousands of test cases during a single sprint. At $0.02 to $0.50 per API call, testing costs can reach thousands of dollars before a product even launches.

This pricing model creates challenges for:

  • Early-stage startups operating with limited budgets
  • Individual developers building side projects
  • Coding bootcamps and computer science programs teaching students
  • Teams that need to test repeatedly throughout development cycles
  • Companies expanding into new geographic markets

Placevy’s free model enables unlimited testing without budget approvals, procurement processes, or surprise invoices at month-end.

Format Accuracy Across Global Markets

Address formats vary dramatically by country, and getting these formats wrong breaks validation systems and creates poor user experiences. A US address needs a ZIP code and state abbreviation. A UK address requires a proper postcode format. Japanese addresses follow entirely different structural conventions.

Placevy generates addresses that match real-world standards:

United States: Proper 5-digit ZIP codes (or ZIP+4 extension), standard state abbreviations (CA, NY, TX), and USPS-compliant street type designations

Canada: Valid postal codes in A1A 1A1 format with correct province codes

United Kingdom: Royal Mail-compliant postcodes with proper district formatting

Germany: 5-digit Postleitzahl codes matched to correct regional areas

Japan: 7-digit postal codes with proper prefecture formatting

Australia: 4-digit postcodes aligned with state and territory boundaries

The platform handles format specifications including ZIP and postal code ranges for each country, official state and province abbreviations, street type conventions, apartment and unit numbering where appropriate, and city naming patterns specific to each region.

How Different Users Are Using Placevy

Development and QA Teams:

E-commerce platforms use Placevy to test checkout flows across multiple countries. Payment processors validate address verification systems against realistic data. Logistics companies test routing algorithms and delivery zone coverage calculations. SaaS platforms verify user onboarding flows and account setup forms work correctly across regions.

Writers and Content Creators:

Writers generating addresses for characters in stories, screenplays, or novels can get realistic locations instantly. If you’re writing about a protagonist living in Brooklyn, you can generate an authentic New York address that fits the neighborhood. Need a character based in Melbourne? Generate an Australian address with a proper postcode that matches the city.

Individual and Personal Use:

Anyone filling out a form that requires an address for testing purposes can use Placevy. Maybe you’re trying out a new app and don’t want to share your real address. Or you’re creating a demo account and need something that looks legitimate. Or you’re teaching someone how address forms work and want examples from different countries.

For quick, single-use cases, Placevy offers dedicated country pages where you can generate addresses instantly. Need just one address from a specific country? Visit Placevy.com and select your region, or go directly to dedicated pages for Canada, Australia, the United States, and the United Kingdom. No account needed—just click and generate.

Immediate Access and Availability

Placevy is available now at placevy.com with no registration required and no credit card collected. The platform supports 192 countries and territories globally, with dedicated generation pages for high-demand regions including the United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Australia, Germany, Japan, Belgium, Denmark, Finland, and New Zealand.

API documentation is available at placevy.com/api-docs, providing integration guides for development teams. Bulk generation and CSV export functionality work without creating an account, enabling immediate use in testing workflows.

About Placevy

Placevy is a free address generation platform designed for developers, QA teams, writers, and everyday users worldwide.
