Vehere Appoints Gulf Software Distribution to Accelerate Market Growth Across the Region
Dubai [UAE], July 1: Vehere, a new-age cyber defense software company, has engaged Gulf Software Distribution (GSD), a value-added distributor of software products, to strengthen its presence across the region. As part of the partnership, GSD will distribute Vehere's Network Detection & Response (NDR) products in the UAE, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Oman, Kuwait, and Levant.
Vehere's AI-powered NDR platform will provide regional organizations with an advanced second line of defense, empowering security teams to detect and stop attacks at their earliest stage, before they escalate into breaches. By leveraging lossless packet capture, deep packet inspection, and real-time behavioral analytics across both encrypted and unencrypted traffic, the platform delivers enhanced visibility and scalability across the network. Its modular architecture enables organizations to deploy rapid threat hunting, comprehensive forensic analysis, and one-click investigation workflows.
Additionally, through intelligent integration with SIEM, EDR, XDR, SOAR, and TIP systems, Vehere's NDR accelerates mean-time-to-detection and response, automates containment of ransomware, APTs, lateral movement, and insider threats, and enriches alerts with contextual intelligence for streamlined SOC operations.
The collaboration with GSD marks a significant milestone in Vehere's efforts to achieve a lasting impact in the industry. The move will make the company even better positioned to deliver advanced cybersecurity and intelligence solutions to government and enterprise clients in the region, enabling it to attract more resellers and integrators while supporting demand generation.
Avinash Garg, Vice President of Sales (MEA) at Vehere, said, "This partnership represents a strategic leap in expanding our presence across the region. It enables local enterprises and government organizations to strengthen their cybersecurity posture with access to our battle-tested NDR technology -- originally developed to meet the rigorous demands of top-tier defense and intelligence agencies."
Veerendra Kolla, Head of Channel Sales at GSD, said, "Cyber threats are growing in intensity and sophistication, and Middle East organizations are increasingly prioritizing greater visibility and proactive protection across their networks. We found Vehere's technology to be exceptionally well-suited to meet these demands. Its powerful threat detection capabilities and deep network insights truly impressed us -- making this partnership a strategic step in delivering cutting-edge cybersecurity to the region."
The partnership comes at a time when the value of the global NDR market is projected to reach a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 14.1% between 2024 and 2028, according to the Worldwide Network Detection and Response Forecast by the International Data Corporation (IDC). The EMEA region alone is expected to see a 12.6% growth, highlighting strong regional demand. The collaboration with Vehere will unlock new opportunities for GSD's channel ecosystem to tap into the thriving NDR market.

SPJIMR's PGDM Class of 2027 celebrates leadership, diversity, and purpose
PRNewswire Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], July 3: Bhartiya Vidya Bhavan's S.P. Jain Institute of Management and Research (SPJIMR) welcomed the incoming cohort of its flagship Post Graduate Diploma in Management (PGDM) and Post Graduate Diploma in Management Business Management (PGDM (BM)) programmes at a vibrant inauguration ceremony held on campus. The ceremony marked the formal beginning of a two-year journey that promises rigorous learning, personal growth, and a commitment to societal impact. New cohort embarks on a transformative journey in management and leadership. Welcoming the cohort, Varun Nagaraj, Dean, SPJIMR set the tone for the next two years with a message grounded in purpose and community: "We honour the privilege of grooming you for your next two years to guide you to the destinations you want. And hopefully these destinations benefit not just you yourself but society at large." He offered a reflective yet humorous glimpse into SPJIMR's origins, recounting how the institute once operated above a chemistry lab, where the smell of hydrogen sulphide made sure students stayed attentive. His remarks drew laughter from the audience while underscoring the school's journey from modest beginnings in 1981 to earning the globally respected 'triple crown' of accreditations--EQUIS, AACSB, and AMBA. "This places us in very select company among schools within India, and globally, and reaffirms our commitment to academic excellence," he stated. Celebrating diversity and potential The Class of 2027 brings together a remarkable blend of talent from diverse domains, including banking and financial services, data analytics, engineering, IT consulting, marketing, and operations and supply chain. Participants with prior industry experience--comprising 85% of the cohort--represent over 220 companies including Accenture, Amazon, Asian Paints, Bain & Co, Bank of America, BPCL, Citigroup, Cognizant, Deloitte, EY, Gartner, HUL, HPCL, Infosys, Intel, Kotak Mahindra, KPMG, L & T, Maruti Suzuki, Novartis, PwC, Reliance, Shell India, TCS, Tata Motors, UCO Bank, Wipro, Yamaha, and ZS Associates, among others. The PGDM cohort comprises 63% men and 37% women, while the PGDM (BM) cohort includes 74% men and 26% women. Approximately 58% of the overall cohort have an engineering background. The remaining participants bring a diverse range of academic qualifications across arts, banking and finance, commerce, humanities, insurance, management, and the sciences--ensuring multidimensional thinking and innovative problem-solving. A fresh start and a learning mindset Renuka Kamath, Professor of Marketing and Associate Dean, Full-time Programmes invited participants to view their admission as a moment of renewal: "Look at this as a reset button for a new phase. Take risks; pursue what you've always wanted to. Learn the art of trade-offs." Highlighting the rich diversity of the new class, with participants from 24 states and 130+ cities across India, Prof. Kamath encouraged students to embrace the varied perspectives of their peers: "Develop the knack of setting your biases aside. Show tolerance and kindness to people who differ from you, who think differently than you." She concluded with a reminder about humility in learning: "Learn, unlearn, and relearn. Just because you witnessed something in your workplace or experienced something in your personal life doesn't mean the world operates that way." Tools for success Ashita Aggarwal, Professor of Marketing and Chair, PGDM and PGDM (BM) outlined the four 'Cs' that would serve as guiding principles: Clarity about personal strengths - "What do you bring to the table? What makes you different?" Courage to follow one's heart - "When you feel passionate about something, you invest all your efforts. Nothing seems impossible." Curiosity to learn and grow - "Maintain the humility to accept that someone even younger might know more." Contribution through everyday actions - "You might simply set the chairs back in place before you leave your classroom. Smaller actions create bigger differences." Her parting words resonated powerfully: "Character develops when nobody watches us." The ceremony also featured a skit on social media awareness by SPJIMR's Abhyudaya Sitaras, reinforcing the institute's belief in holistic education that combines academic rigour with social consciousness. The Class of 2027 reflects SPJIMR's commitment to nurture an inclusive learning environment to shape responsible leaders who combine capability with compassion and innovation with impact.

Aniruddha Sharma, Chair and CEO of Carbon Clean , said: "Continued investment in innovation and R & D is central to Carbon Clean's growth strategy. The GIC will be a game-changer in scaling our technology and accelerating the development of next-generation carbon capture solutions. As a UK-headquartered company founded in India, this investment underscores the economic and industrial opportunities CCUS offers both countries. It also reflects our global commitment to tackling the complex challenge of industrial decarbonisation at scale. With pilot partnerships already underway in India we are well positioned to progress rapidly from demonstration to large-scale deployment, helping industries remain competitive as regulations such as the EU and UK Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanisms come into force." Harjinder Kang, His Majesty's Trade Commissioner to South Asia and British Deputy High Commissioner to Western India, said: "Congratulations to Carbon Clean for the inauguration of their Global Innovation Centre in India, marking a significant milestone in the UK-India collaboration in the clean growth sector. The UK Government's sustained support has been instrumental in Carbon Clean's growth journey, backed by a collective value of £5 million in grants that helped promote the company's promising technology in 2012, 2015 and 2018. These grants have been complemented by continued HMG representations, including through the visit of HRH The Prince of Wales to their demonstration unit in Glasgow during COP26, UK Ministerial attendance at the opening of their US headquarters in 2023, and recently with the invitation to join the CCUS Council. My team and I stand ready to support innovative UK companies like Carbon Clean as they build their business in India." With more than 2.8 million operational hours across its technology portfolio, Carbon Clean continues to lead in innovation and performance. The launch of the GIC further reinforces its commitment to India, where Carbon Clean has pilot partnerships already underway with BHP and JSW, NTPC and Tata Steel.
