Indian dance festival 'UTSAV' coming to Cardiff in 2025
UTSAV, meaning 'celebration' in Sanskrit, will be held in Cardiff at the Royal Welsh College of Music & Drama on September 9, 2025. Created by Cardiff-based Indian arts and culture company Samarpan, the festival aims to address the lack of consistent, high-quality classical Indian arts programming in Wales. Dr Leena Menon and Dr Santosh Nair, directors of Samarpan, said: "UTSAV is a heartfelt offering to Wales, a celebration of classical Indian dance at its finest. "Through UTSAV, we hope to deepen appreciation for these ancient forms and spark new conversations around identity, heritage, and the power of the arts to connect us all." The festival will feature performances from both Samarpan students and internationally acclaimed artists from across the UK, and will showcase four major classical dance styles: Bharatanatyam, Kathak, Kuchipudi, and Odissi.

Founded by seasoned entrepreneurs Karim Ladha and Santosh Nair, Styx's platform leverages an AI-first architecture to protect organizations from the ever-evolving landscape of digital threats in the age of generative AI. Karim and Santosh worked together for over a decade in cybersecurity and witnessed firsthand the struggles organizations grapple with due to a lack of visibility into external digital risks. Styx was founded to level the playing field between attackers and organizations in terms of visibility and sophistication of tools, making it easier for organizations to mitigate attacks faster and more reliably. 'Our experience in building and scaling companies has equipped us with the insights and skills needed to tackle the challenges of digital risk protection at scale,' added Karim Ladha, CEO and Co-Founder of Styx. 'We are committed to helping enterprises across all industries protect this new attack surface that's only increasing in scope thanks to LLMs and other generative AI models.'

BDC is proud to support their vision alongside committed partners who share our belief in the transformative potential of Canadian innovation, and together bring the expertise and resources needed to help them succeed.' 'At FRAMEWORK, we believe that the difference between good and great is a seamless user experience,' said Jim Texier, Partner at FRAMEWORK and former CTPO at Lightspeed. 'By combining cutting-edge technology with an intuitive approach, Styx is clearly redefining digital risk protection for the modern enterprise.' The DRP market is at the cusp of significant growth, driven by the increasing complexity of digital threats. Styx is at the forefront of this transformation, leveraging an AI-first architecture to safeguard organizations from evolving cyber risks. 'Digital Risk Protection is a burgeoning field with vast potential,' said Santosh Nair, Co-Founder and CTO of Styx.
