Keeper Security (“Keeper” or “we”), the identity security platform for humans, machines and AI agents, today announced a major milestone in its journey to become the market standard for AI-native identity security, having reached USD 225 million in Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR). Since 2021, Keeper’s ARR has grown over 3x.

Keeper protects over 95,000 organizations, which includes many Fortune 500 enterprises and public sector agencies. The company is quickly emerging as the market standard for AI-native identity security for enterprises globally with its leading zero-trust and zero-knowledge identity security platform. In 2025, leading analyst firm Gartner recognized Keeper as the second-fastest-growing security software competitor globally, second only to Google.* This recognition underscores Keeper’s rapid market expansion in addressing identity security challenges created by cloud transformation and artificial intelligence adoption across enterprise infrastructure and endpoints.

Keeper is now growing at over 4x the industry average.

Keeper Security is now growing at over 4x the industry average

This market-leading growth is driven by the explosion of identities in the agentic AI age and relentless focus on innovation to protect customers, as evidenced by the release of its unified privileged access management and identity security platform, KeeperPAM®, which protects both human and Non-Human Identities (NHIs), including service accounts, machine identities, databases, AI agents and agentic workloads. Since the launch of KeeperPAM in February 2025, KeeperPAM revenue has exhibited 10x year-over-year growth and Keeper has seen industry-leading new customer growth, adding an average of 850 new organizations every month. In the last fifteen months, Keeper added over 400 innovative features and products to KeeperPAM.

“Identity is the new security perimeter,” said Darren Guccione, CEO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “As enterprises increasingly deploy AI agents and autonomous systems, the number of privileged identities and machine credentials is growing exponentially. Organizations need a modern, unified platform that secures every identity – human and non-human – and governs every privileged interaction. Our growth reflects the market’s demand for a platform purpose-built to address these challenges.”

Keeper’s cloud-native cybersecurity platform delivers a comprehensive approach to identity security and privileged access management by unifying enterprise password management, secrets management, privileged session management, database management and endpoint privilege management in a single platform. Keeper’s AI-native identity security strategy seamlessly extends these capabilities to non-human identities and agentic AI environments, enabling organizations to discover, manage and secure machine credentials and autonomous workloads with the same rigor applied to human users.

As enterprises adopt AI technologies at scale, the proliferation of non-human identities is rapidly outpacing that of human identities by 150:1, according to reports, thereby creating new attack surfaces and operational complexity. Keeper’s platform helps organizations establish identity-first security strategies that provide security, visibility, governance and least-privilege controls across their entire identity ecosystem.

“Autonomous agents, frontier LLMs and machine-to-machine workflows are operating inside enterprise environments right now – without adequate governance, secrets management or access controls,” said Craig Lurey, CTO and Co-founder of Keeper Security. “Keeper is purpose-built to solve this problem at scale.”

The company’s continued growth and market recognition reinforce its position as one of the cybersecurity industry’s most innovative and fastest-growing providers of AI-native identity security and privileged access management solutions. Keeper’s financial profile combines best-in-class growth, profitability and a debt-free capital structure and is an asset positioned to efficiently lead identity security in the agentic AI age.

“Surpassing USD 225 million in ARR confirms what we’ve heard in every enterprise conversation – that securing non-human identities is the defining security challenge of the AI era,” said Darren Guccione, CEO of Keeper Security. “We have established an accelerated path to USD 1 billion in ARR which, coupled with our technology roadmap, will provide optionality for a public offering.”

SAT Olympiad 2026, India’s national-level SAT readiness assessment, opened registrations for its 2026 edition today, to be held online on August 29 and 30, 2026. Students can register now at satolympiad.org. The Olympiad gives Grade 9-12 students an early, low-pressure estimate of their college-readiness, and turns that into real opportunities through its scholarship and mentorship partners.

Register for SAT Olympiad 2026 and benchmark your SAT readiness with India’s national SAT benchmark

The 2026 edition builds on a strong debut. In its first year, the SAT Olympiad engaged more than 500 schools across 23 states and produced 60+ scholarship winners, with top performers progressing toward admissions at universities in India and worldwide.

What students get in 2026
Every student who registers receives Rs 25,000+ in value: curated SAT prep resources, structured performance feedback and post-Olympiad guidance, a benchmarked readiness report that shows their strengths and the gaps to close, and an official Olympiad Certificate of Participation, regardless of rank.

Beyond the score, the Olympiad’s partners are extending scholarships and benefits to SAT Olympiad students, each on the partner’s own flagship program:

• Galvanize Global Education is offering scholarships on its Premium Bachelors Guidance program, giving top scorers admissions support, profile building and SAT preparation to turn a strong result into a competitive university application.

• Clarkson University is offering a university scholarship to SAT Olympiad students who go on to be admitted to Clarkson – a funded, direct route to a US undergraduate degree.

• Lumiere Education is offering scholarships on its flagship 1:1 Research Scholar Program, where students are mentored by researchers from the world’s leading universities to produce original research that sets their application apart.

• SecondTeacher is offering scholarships on its subject-coaching program, giving students structured, personalised academic support to close gaps and build subject mastery.

• We-Learn is offering scholarships on its profile- and portfolio-building program, helping students articulate the strengths and achievements admissions officers value most.

• BuildUp Mirai is offering scholarships on its industry internship program, giving students early, real-world professional exposure and a head start on their careers.

• kareers.ai is offering SAT Olympiad students a complimentary career-discovery session that maps their strengths to suitable university and career options.

Full scholarship details and eligibility are listed on the registration page. Students from Class 9 to 12, across all major boards and home-schooling, are eligible, whether registering as individuals or as a school group.

Why it matters
The earlier a student understands their college-readiness, the more they can work on it. A realistic SAT experience from Grade 9 onward gives students that early estimate: they see how they compare against a national pool, learn which skills to strengthen, and have time to act on it before the stakes are real. And with the SAT now accepted for admissions by a growing number of universities in India as well as abroad, that early estimate matters whether a student is aiming for Indian or international universities.

As a Knowledge Partner, Galvanize Global Education brings test-preparation, profile-building and admissions-counselling support to every participant. The wider partner network connects top scorers to research mentorship, subject coaching, internship pathways and scholarship opportunities, so the Olympiad becomes a starting point rather than a one-day event.

“Most students don’t start thinking about the SAT until Grade 11 or 12, and by then much of the early advantage is gone. SAT Olympiad 2026 lets students start as early as Grade 9 and 10. Every participant gets a clear picture of where they stand and a practical roadmap to their target universities, in India and abroad, backed by scholarships and mentorship from our partners. Our goal is simple: turn aspiration into a plan,” said Ram Srinivasan, Co-Founder & CEO, Galvanize Global Education.

“The SAT Olympiad provided our students with a valuable opportunity to experience globally benchmarked assessments in a structured and motivating environment. It helped them gain early clarity on international testing standards, build confidence through real performance feedback, and explore meaningful academic and scholarship-linked opportunities,” said Principal, DPS Faridabad.

For updates, students can follow the campaign on social media using #SATOlympiad2026. For assistance, they can WhatsApp +91 99620 09896 or email info@satolympiad.org.

Scholarship awards are rank-based and subject to each partner’s eligibility terms.

Over the years, Ghaziabad has been considered a peripheral extension of the NCR. However, today, the shift is becoming increasingly visible with new infrastructure taking shape and residential developments expanding along key corridors. The city is beginning to feel more closely linked to the rest of NCR with improved connectivity, as both homebuyers and investors start to recognise its potential as a more balanced and forward-looking residential destination.

Ghaziabad’s evolving infrastructure and premium residential developments are transforming the city into one of NCR’s fastest-growing housing destinations

The major catalyst behind this is the operationalisation and expansion of the Delhi–Meerut RRTS, which is significantly reducing travel time by 40 minutes between Ghaziabad and key economic hubs such as Delhi. In parallel, the widening of NH-24, improved expressway connectivity and seamless access to Noida and Gurugram are strengthening regional connectivity. Perhaps the city is no longer viewed as distant or disconnected. Instead, it is increasingly being seen as a well-integrated urban node within NCR’s expanding footprint.

Consequently, this growing connectivity is also being reflected in the city’s housing market performance. As per Anarock, Ghaziabad accounted for around 16% of the NCR’s residential sales in Q1 2026 while registering an increase  of 40% year-on-year growth in absorption, highlighting continued buyer confidence despite short-term market moderation.

Meanwhile, as commute times decrease, the change is becoming increasingly visible in the form of new residential clusters taking shape across key areas. Homebuyers are increasingly recognising that they can access modern, spacious homes without moving too far from Delhi. At the same time, the pace of development reflects a steadier and more grounded growth path, where long-term value is being built gradually.

As a result, several micro-markets within Ghaziabad are quietly establishing themselves as the city’s primary growth corridors. Places such as Siddharth Vihar and Raj Nagar Extension have become the beneficiaries of their proximity to the highway network. Wave City have brought new benchmarks for urban living through well-thought-out infrastructure. Traditional residential centres like Indirapuram and Vaishali keep attracting demand  because of their well-established social infrastructure, metro connectivity, and closeness to Delhi.

Beyond infrastructure, the presence of reputed developers is further reshaping the city’s residential landscape. This growing confidence is also reflected in developer activity. According to ANAROCK Research’s Q1 2026 report, Ghaziabad accounted for nearly 10% of all residential launches across the NCR (16,000 units) during the quarter, while recording an impressive 132% quarter-on-quarter increase in new supply. Leading players such as Gaurs Group, Prateek Group, Saya Group and County Group are launching a new generation of projects that offer premium and luxury housing developments. The projects are raising standards in terms of design, amenities, and lifestyle. 

Within such ecosystems, Prateek Grand Begonia, located in Siddharth Vihar, is taking the shape of a holistic community boasted by infrastructure, green open spaces and luxury living, reflecting the shift in which today’s homebuyers’ residential choices are steadily evolving. New-age buyers prefer homes that offer more space, a contemporary sense of design, and amenities that support a well-rounded daily life. Herein, developments like Prateek Grand Begonia show how the idea of a home is being redefined, where the value lies not only in the residence but in the complete living experience it offers.

Backed by planned connectivity, enhanced infrastructure and growing luxury homes demand, Ghaziabad is on its gradual move to being one of the preferred destinations of homebuyers and investors alike. With the significant progress being made to its infrastructure, along with the better residential properties that are coming up, the city is likely to emerge as the biggest beneficiary of the infra advantage.

Union Agriculture and Farmers Welfare Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan recently launched PRAGATI, a nationwide initiative to build 20,000 agri-entrepreneurs and directly benefit 20 lakh smallholder farmers through climate-resilient, regenerative agriculture. 

Union Minister of Agriculture & Farmers Welfare, Shivraj Singh Chouhan launching the PRAGATI initiative

The programme is backed by a coalition of institutions including the PepsiCo Foundation, State Bank of India Foundation, Gates Foundation, IDH, Heifer International, Environmental Defense Fund (EDF), Global Agri Entrepreneurship Academy, Sustainable Agriculture Foundation’s International Association (SAFIA), Agri Entrepreneur Growth Foundation (AEGF), and Transform Rural India Foundation (TRIF).

Building on an existing network of 26,000-plus agri-entrepreneurs that already supports 2.6 million farmers, PRAGATI aims to add 20,000 more entrepreneurs and reach over 2 million additional smallholders across Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, West Bengal, Jharkhand, Maharashtra and Rajasthan. The initiative targets a 30% rise in farmer incomes and a 15-20% yield boost in paddy, maize and potato, with regenerative practices adopted by at least a fifth of participating farmers. Entrepreneurs will run 20,000 village-level kiosks offering agronomy advisory, soil health services, mechanization, credit linkages and market access, alongside a push for financial and digital inclusion.

Speaking at the launch, Chouhan said “the vision of Viksit Bharat cannot be achieved without a developed agricultural sector and prosperous villages,” adding that the government’s focus extends beyond output to cutting cultivation costs, raising incomes, and promoting value addition and agri-entrepreneurship. He cited horticulture, livestock, fisheries and beekeeping, along with drones and digital advisory tools, as key levers for the sector’s future, stressing that traditional farming alone will not be enough for small and marginal farmers.

Industry and philanthropic partners echoed that sense of urgency. Monica Bauer, Senior Vice President, Global Social Impact at PepsiCo and President of the PepsiCo Foundation, said farmers are “at the heart” of the company’s business and that supporting their livelihoods is “essential to building a more resilient food system.” Jagrut Kotecha, CEO of PepsiCo India and South Asia, called PRAGATI “a much needed intervention” bringing together partners with shared intent, reflecting the company’s “Partnership of Progress” philosophy.

For SBI Foundation, the initiative marks a shift in banking’s role in rural India. Its MD & CEO, Swapan Dhan, said PRAGATI is “not just about creating agri-entrepreneurs” but about building “a nationwide movement of local changemakers who will drive farmer prosperity, climate resilience, and financial inclusion”.

International partners framed PRAGATI as a scalable model for the Global South. Alan Johnson of the Global AE Academy and IFC (World Bank Group) said the programme scales “a proven agri-entrepreneurship model” that turns rural youth and women into “catalysts of economic growth, innovation, and sustainable agricultural transformation.” Hisham Mundol, Chief Advisor-India at EDF, said it places “farmers and local entrepreneurs at the center of climate-smart, efficient solutions,” combining data-driven insights with last-mile delivery. Dr. Simon Winter of SAFIA called it “a bold step towards enabling a new generation of rural changemakers to accelerate the transition to regenerative and climate-resilient agriculture.”

Rina Soni, Executive Director of Passing Gifts Pvt. Ltd., a Heifer International subsidiary, said the platform treats farmers “not as passive beneficiaries” but as “entrepreneurs, leaders, and changemakers,” with the potential to make farming “a profitable, sustainable, and aspirational choice for the next generation.”

With its scale and multi-stakeholder design, PRAGATI is set to become India’s largest privately led agri-entrepreneurship programme, positioning local entrepreneurs as central agents in building a more inclusive and climate-resilient rural economy.

Lloyds Realty Developers Limited has unveiled a refreshed brand identity, marking a strategic shift in how the Mumbai based real estate developer positions itself as it enters its next phase of growth. The announcement comes at a moment of significant scale for the company: with over Rs. 23,500 crore in project portfolio value, more than 3 million sq. ft. delivered, and approximately 14 million sq. ft. currently under development, Lloyds Realty is now setting its sights on more than Rs. 10,000 crore in pipeline development across 9 key Mumbai micro-markets over the next 8 years.

Lloyds Realty unveils a refreshed brand identity with monochromatic design language and new vision anchored in “Building Soulful Spaces”

The most distinctive change is the new brand symbol anchored around the numeral “1” – representing focus, leadership and a singular commitment to excellence. Accompanying it is a shift from Lloyds Realty’s earlier blue corporate palette to a refined monochromatic design language, signalling a deliberate move toward the premium positioning in Mumbai’s dynamic real estate. While Lloyds Realty’s name, values, and legacy remain unchanged, the evolved visual identity signals a sharper strategic direction and an upgraded vision for the future.

Marking this notable moment, Mr. Ravi Agarwal, Chairman & MD, Lloyds Realty Developers Limited, said, “This rebrand represents the evolution of Lloyds Realty as a company – not just in how we look, but in what we stand for. As customer expectations in Mumbai’s real estate market grow more sophisticated, we are building developments that go beyond structure to create genuine value, trust, and experience. Over the course of next five years, we aim for Lloyds Realty to be recognised as one of Mumbai’s most respected premium developers – and this identity is the foundation for that growth journey.”

“A brand identity should do more than create recognition. It should express the ambition of the business it represents. For Lloyds Realty, we wanted to create a visual language that reflected clarity, confidence and a long-term vision. For a real estate firm, it is crucial that the identity reflects its compassionate and human nature. Combining ‘L’ of Lloyds with the numeral ‘1’ created a powerful symbol of leadership, strength and excellence. The monochromatic palette was intentionally chosen to convey sophistication, permanence and timeless appeal. As Lloyds Realty enters a new phase of growth, this identity provides a distinctive foundation that is both strategically meaningful and instantly recognisable,” said Sunil Mahadik – Creative Head, Minds Collective.

The refreshed identity further marks the evolution of Lloyds Realty’s brand philosophy. While the company’s legacy has been rooted in “Value Buildings, Building Values,” the new vision of “Building Soulful Spaces” takes that foundation further: a sharper focus on developments that create meaningful experiences, lasting community value, and a sense of belonging that outlives the transaction. 

The refreshed identity will be rolled out across all customer and stakeholder touchpoints, including project sites, sales galleries, marketing communications, digital platforms, corporate assets, and partner networks.

Existing customers, employees, channel partners, and stakeholders will continue to experience the same commitment to trust, transparency, and service excellence that has defined the company’s track record.

Partnership brings internationally recognised UK postgraduate education closer to Indian maritime professionals, supporting the future of India’s maritime workforce and strengthening UK-India educational collaboration.
 

Global Collaboration for Maritime Excellence with UK’s MLA College and the Institute of Marine Engineers (India) Forging a Strategic Partnership
 

UK higher education institution MLA College and the Institute of Marine Engineers (India) (IMEI) have officially launched a strategic partnership that expands access to internationally recognised UK postgraduate education for India’s maritime professionals. The partnership marks an important milestone in supporting the future of India’s maritime workforce while strengthening educational collaboration between the United Kingdom and India.
 

The partnership, formalised through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during Singapore Maritime Week 2026, was officially launched at the MLA College India Launch Reception held on 2 July 2026 at The Lalit, Mumbai.
 

The launch reception brought together around 150 senior leaders from government, the maritime industry, higher education and business, demonstrating strong support for greater collaboration between industry and academia in preparing the next generation of maritime leaders.
 

Among those in attendance were Shri Killi Mohana Rao, Chief Surveyor, Directorate General of Shipping, Sanjeev Mehra, Chairman, The Institute of Marine Engineers (India), Mohan Singh Pal, Director (METC), The Institute of Marine Engineers (India), and Krishnan Subramaniam, Chief Learning Officer, Transworld Academy of Excellence and International Chairman of the Institute of Chartered Shipbrokers, alongside representatives from Maersk, Maersk Tankers, The Shipping Corporation of India, Eastern Pacific Shipping, Anglo Eastern Ship Management, Indian Register of Shipping and KPMG, demonstrating broad support for strengthening maritime education, professional development and industry collaboration across India.
 

As India continues to strengthen its position as a leading global maritime nation through investment in ports, logistics, green shipping and maritime innovation, the need for highly skilled maritime professionals has never been greater. At the same time, the global maritime industry is undergoing significant transformation, driven by decarbonisation, digitalisation, evolving international regulations and changing workforce expectations. The MLA College and IMEI partnership has been established to help address these challenges by expanding access to flexible, internationally recognised UK postgraduate education for experienced maritime professionals in India.
 

The partnership creates a framework for collaboration across maritime education, professional development, academic engagement, research and knowledge exchange. By combining MLA College’s expertise in flexible UK higher education with IMEI’s extensive professional network and long standing presence within India’s maritime sector, the collaboration aims to strengthen workforce capability and support the industry’s long term growth.
 

Through MLA College’s fully online and flexible learning model, maritime professionals can earn British postgraduate qualifications without relocating overseas, enabling them to continue working while advancing their education and careers.
 

The initial programmes available through the partnership include:

• MSc Engineering for Marine Professionals

• MSc Sustainable Maritime Operations

• MBA Maritime Operations
   

Eligible maritime professionals across India can now apply for the programmes.
 

The programmes are delivered fully online, enabling professionals to continue working while studying towards internationally recognised UK qualifications.
 

The programmes are particularly relevant for professionals preparing for or progressing beyond their First Engineer and Chief Engineer Certificates of Competency (CoC). Alongside strengthening technical expertise, they are designed to develop the leadership, strategic thinking and management capabilities required across today’s global maritime industry.
 

Reflecting the sector’s continued transformation, MLA College’s MSc Sustainable Maritime Operations programme also includes specialist modules in Maritime Decarbonisation and Social Sustainability in the Maritime Industry, equipping professionals with the knowledge needed to respond to the industry’s increasing focus on sustainable shipping, environmental stewardship and responsible maritime operations.
 

Prof. Mohammad Dastbaz, Principal and CEO of MLA College, said, “India is one of the world’s most important maritime nations and its influence will only continue to grow. Through our partnership with The Institute of Marine Engineers (India), we are making internationally recognised UK postgraduate education more accessible to experienced maritime professionals while helping develop the leadership, innovation and sustainability capabilities needed for the future of the industry. Together, we look forward to strengthening collaboration between the United Kingdom and India while investing in the people who will shape the future of global shipping.“
 

Kaushik Seal, President of The Institute of Marine Engineers (India), said, “This partnership represents a significant milestone for IMEI and our members, and we believe it is the first collaboration of its kind in the Indian maritime education landscape. By combining IMEI’s strong professional network and premier infrastructure with MLA College’s internationally recognised UK postgraduate programmes, we are creating new opportunities for Indian marine engineers to continue their professional and academic development while remaining in employment. Together, we are helping to equip maritime professionals with the knowledge, leadership skills and global perspective needed to support the continued growth and competitiveness of India’s maritime sector.”
 

The partnership also reflects MLA College’s long term commitment to India and its ambition to work closely with industry, employers and professional bodies to support the development of future maritime leaders. As part of GEDU Global Education, an international education group with operations across 15 countries and a community of more than 85,000 students, MLA College continues to expand access to internationally recognised UK higher education through strategic partnerships that support workforce development, innovation and industry advancement.
 

With learners from more than 75 countries, MLA College has established itself as a trusted provider of flexible, industry focused postgraduate education designed specifically for working professionals. Its programmes are validated by the University of Plymouth, one of the UK’s leading universities with a long standing reputation in marine and maritime education. Together, MLA College and IMEI share a commitment to lifelong learning, professional excellence and preparing the next generation of maritime leaders equipped to support India’s growing influence within the global maritime economy.

Through this collaboration, Bottles for Change will work closely with the Indian Coast Guard to strengthen plastic waste management systems by promoting responsible collection, segregation, and recycling of post-consumer plastic. The partnership also aims to drive awareness, encourage behavioural change, and foster sustainable practices to prevent plastic waste from entering coastal and marine ecosystems.

Deputy Inspector General Ashish Mehrotra of the Indian Coast Guard also appreciated the initiative which will promote greater awareness, strengthen waste management practices, and ensure the preservation of our coastal ecosystems for future generations.

The Indian Coast Guard, entrusted with safeguarding India’s vast coastline, plays a crucial role in protecting marine environments. This collaboration will further enhance efforts to address the growing challenge of plastic pollution in coastal areas and oceans while promoting efficient waste management practices.

As part of Bisleri’s Greener Promise, the Bottles for Change program continues to expand its impact by building strong partnerships with government institutions and community stakeholders.
