But our lives changed that day when he was diagnosed with a liver problem, which later progressed to liver failure," Rishika told TOI. Rishika recalled that she could never forget those days as she had to take responsibility of her younger siblings — who are in class 8 and class 5. "I had to take care of all their needs — cook meals, pack their lunch, get them ready, and send them to school before I left for mine," she said she used to have panic attacks even during exams because of her father's condition. "We were going through a lot, including financial problems. It affected my concentration and performance in academics. Still, I am happy that I managed to clear my class 10 exams," she said, adding that she aspires to become a software engineer so that her family no longer has to struggle mother, Vanitha, said she never had to step out for work until now and is worried about how the family will survive. "So far, we have been surviving on savings and help extended by relatives. Now, I will have to find work so that my children and I can survive," she added.

Appknox Targets 5x GCC Growth with Strong Regional Push and New StoreKnox Launch
Rishika Mehrotra, Chief Strategy Officer at Appknox, is spearheading the company's aggressive growth strategy from her base in Dubai, focusing on scaling operations across the GCC region and globally. Appknox, a leading mobile application security company, provides an automated security testing platform that helps organizations secure their mobile apps throughout the software development lifecycle (SDLC). With cybersecurity risks rising, especially in mobile ecosystems, Appknox is responding to market demands with innovative solutions. A major milestone for the company is the recent launch of StoreKnox, a post-deployment monitoring tool that detects fake apps and scans for malware across app marketplaces. This addition complements Appknox's pre-deployment security tools and positions it as a full-spectrum mobile app security provider. Looking ahead to 2025, Appknox is targeting 5x growth in the GCC and 3x global growth, powered by its two-tier distribution model. The company works closely with master distributor Bulwark and more than 100 partners across the GCC. This partner-first approach includes regular technical enablement, joint marketing campaigns, and shared market intelligence to strengthen ecosystem capabilities. The GCC's tightening regulatory environment is a key growth driver. Increasing compliance requirements and rising cybersecurity threats are pushing enterprises and governments to adopt more advanced mobile security measures. Recognizing this, Appknox is expanding into new markets like Oman and Egypt, with a special focus on government contracts. Rishika notes that as governments introduce stricter cybersecurity frameworks, the demand for robust, end-to-end mobile security across the SDLC is surging. Appknox's scalable platform, regional presence, and commitment to partner empowerment position it well to capitalize on this momentum and deliver secure mobile experiences at scale. 0 0
