36 Entrepreneurs from Every State and Union Territory Take National Stage as PayU Launches 'Startup Republic' Campaign Marking 10 Years of Startup India

In a visionary initiative showcasing India’s vibrant startup ecosystem, PayU today debuted ‘Startup Republic’ – a nationwide Republic Day campaign championing entrepreneurial excellence across all 36 states and union territories. Marking #10YearsOfStartupIndia, this flagship endeavour celebrates startup culture, nurtures an inclusive innovation ecosystem, and reveals the profound depth of India’s entrepreneurial prowess.
 

PayU’s Startup Republic campaign launches with a 120-second hero film capturing the collective spirit of India’s entrepreneurial republic, followed by a series of 36 five-minute documentary films
 

India’s startup landscape, as of December 31, 2025, boasts more than 2 lakh DPIIT-recognized startups, spanning D2C and diverse business verticals, that have generated employment for over 2.1 million people, with women representation in leadership roles (as directors or partners) exceeding 45%. 

 

The initiative includes showcasing entrepreneurs from DPIIT-registered startups located in emerging entrepreneurial hubs outside the metros, highlighting narratives from geographically underrepresented regions. Through this inclusive strategy, entrepreneurial achievements from India’s varied territories gain nationwide recognition and visibility through a unified story of national progress.

 

The campaign launches with a 120-second hero film capturing the collective spirit of India’s entrepreneurial republic, followed by a series of 36 five-minute documentary films. Spanning diverse segments including lifestyle, travel, health, FMCG, and others, these films represent the true breadth of India’s entrepreneurial republic. Each film profiles a founder from a different state or union territory, offering an intimate look at their journey, challenges and aspirations. Rolling out across PayU’s social channels starting January 23rd ahead of Republic Day celebrations, these stories demonstrate how India’s startup ecosystem embodies the ‘Made in India, built for the world’ ethos reshaping the nation’s economic landscape.

 

“The next decade of India’s digital economy will be built by founders who understand local consumers deeply and scale with global ambition. At PayU, we believe India’s greatest asset is its entrepreneurial spirit. Startup Republic celebrates entrepreneurs actively writing India’s future through authentic storytelling, because innovation has no zip code in India and real nation-building happens when founders from Ladakh to Lakshadweep see that their dreams matter. This initiative reflects where India is headed, not just where it stands today,” said Vineet Sethi, Chief Growth and Marketing Officer, PayU.
 

“Under Startup India, India’s startup ecosystem is moving beyond scale to focus on depth and genuine impact. With innovation reaching every state and union territory, entrepreneurship is becoming a powerful nation-building force. Initiatives like Startup Republic showcase these diverse success stories, proving that India’s innovation economy is growing well beyond the metros,” said Shri Sanjiv, Joint Secretary, Department for Promotion of Industry and Internal Trade.

 

This campaign celebrates D2C startups, an integral segment of PayU’s merchant ecosystem, bringing these nation-builders into the spotlight during India’s most significant patriotic moment. Under an MoU with DPIIT, PayU is working with Startup India to empower startups across India—not just in metro cities—by delivering tailored payment solutions, mentorship, exclusive community access, and fundraising opportunities to support growth at every stage.

 

PayU also runs InFiNity, India’s leading fintech accelerator, which has enabled 60 startups across two cohorts with 1:1 mentorship, partnership opportunities, and over $5 million in investments, translating founder innovation into real scale.

tridorian Takes Southeast Asian Innovation Global with the U.S. Launch After Breaking $15.6M ARR in 24 Months

tridorian, the region’s premier people-centric Google Cloud Partner, today announced its official launch into the United States with a new regional headquarters in Chicago. This milestone follows a period of hyper-growth built primarily in Singapore and Thailand, where the firm scaled to $15.6M ARR in just 24 months before expanding operations across Southeast Asia. tridorian is now one of the region’s fastest-growing digital transformation firms.

The U.S launch reflects growing global demand for the capabilities tridorian has developed in Southeast Asia: helping organizations move beyond experimentation to deploy secure, governed AI systems in production, grounded in real data and integrated into everyday business workflows. Rather than signaling a shift away from the region, the expansion represents the next chapter of what the team has built together.

Across Southeast Asia, tridorian has worked closely with enterprises in regulated and high-growth sectors to modernize cloud foundations, migrate and optimize critical workloads, and prepare data platforms for AI at scale, laying the groundwork for reliable, production-ready systems.

“We built this in Southeast Asia, together with our customers and our teams,” said Jimmy Jigmo, Chief Executive Officer of tridorian.Reaching $15.6M ARR across two countries in two years wasn’t about chasing trends—it came from doing the hard work of making AI operate reliably in real environments. Being invited to bring that approach into the U.S. is something we’re proud of. It shows that what we’ve built here stands up on a global stage.”

tridorian’s execution-led approach is reflected in customer outcomes delivered across the region. In Singapore, Ryobi-G partnered with tridorian to build a real-time monitoring system on Google Cloud, achieving 99% availability, doubling project capacity, and reducing deployment time by more than 50%, while Nanyang Inc. transformed fragmented order processing into an automated system with agents, saving 850 hours monthly, boosted client retention by 65%, achieving a 257% ROI in its first year. In Thailand, Thai Wacoal successfully accelerated its ‘trend-to-market’ cycle by automating product content generation and brand reviews, significantly reducing manual tasks and unlocking strategic capacity for its creative teams. Shop Global implemented an AI-powered search and personal shopper experience, driving a 20% topline revenue increase, while in Indonesia, FDC Dental Clinic modernized patient journeys, cutting down patient booking time by 87%.

“The opportunity for transformation is vast,” said Andhika, Chief Revenue Officer at tridorian. “Whether in Singapore or Chicago, leaders are asking the same question: ‘How do we rethink our business in the AI-Native era?’ We’ve answered that question countless times across the Asia Pacific. Now we’re bringing those playbooks to the U.S.”

tridorian will continue investing in regional capabilities, talent, and delivery excellence across Southeast Asia, while expanding its global footprint to support customers with increasingly complex transformation programs.

Cloudeva.ai Debuts as a Cloud Decision Intelligence Offering Public Preview Now Open

Cloudeva.ai, a cloud intelligence platform that differentiates itself through multi-cloud capabilities & an intelligent advisory bot, officially launches today, with a premise that organizations don’t have a cloud technology problem, they have a cloud decision problem.

 

Amit Gupta, Founder Rapyder and Cloudeva.ai

 

Built by teams with years of hands-on experience supporting cloud operations across large enterprises, Start-Ups & SMBs, the idea of the founders was to address a persistent operational blind spot. Many organizations still struggle to maintain auditable visibility into what changed in their cloud environments, who initiated them, and the business reasoning behind those decisions.

 

Amit Gupta (founder, cloudeva.ai), identified the pattern after years of working with leadership teams that manage complex, multi-cloud estates. Despite significant investments in infrastructure, security controls, and analytics tooling, companies repeatedly encountered the same issue during incidents, cost escalations, and audit reviews: explaining the rationale behind critical actions.

 

“After nearly a decade running Rapyder and working closely with CXOs, I realized most cloud problems weren’t caused by bad technology,” said Amit Gupta. “They were caused by unclear decisions – not knowing who changed what, why it was changed, who approved it, or whether it was the right call at the time. As environments scaled, this gap only widened.”

 

As enterprises expanded digitally across Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud, governance practices fragmented across tools and teams while executive accountability remained centralized. The disconnect between operational complexity and leadership responsibility became the catalyst for building Cloudeva.ai.

 

“Execution without context creates noise,” said Athreya Ramadas (Co-Founder, Cloudeva.ai) “We’re building an offering that turns cloud data into governed, actionable insight – enabling organizations to scale with clarity, control, and confidence.”

 

Cloudeva.ai introduces a decision layer above existing infrastructure, finance, and security tooling. Rather than just reporting events, the system interprets change through business, financial, and regulatory context – helping organizations move from raw activity to accountable decision-making. The founders have opened cloudeva.ai for public preview till March 31st 2026. Preview participants can:

  • Experience AI-driven cloud decision intelligence in real environments

  • Shape governance workflows for regulated operations

  • Work directly with the Cloudeva.ai founding and product teams

 

Who It’s Designed For

  • Financial services and regulated enterprises managing audits and operational risk

  • Healthcare and compliance-driven organizations balancing innovation and governance

  • Large multi-cloud enterprises requiring cross-team visibility

  • CIOs, CTOs, CISOs, and CFOs who need explainable cloud decisions

 

Why This Matters Now

  • Multi-cloud environments are growing faster than governance models

  • Regulatory expectations around accountability continue to tighten

  • Decision opacity introduces financial and operational risk

  • Enterprises need clarity without slowing innovation

 

Cloudeva.ai exists to solve what slows modern organizations down- uncertainty. By combining deep expertise with a forward-looking approach, the company helps businesses build systems that are not just scalable, but intentional.

 

Cloudeva.ai aims to transform cloud complexity into clear, confident action.

Rs. 5 Lakh Crore Erosion, 5.8M IT Careers at Crossroads: EC-Council's Jay Bavisi Urges AI Workforce Shift at India AI Summit 2026

The India – AI Impact Summit 2026, hosted by the Government of India under the India AI Mission at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi, marked a defining global inflection point that framed the transition from AI aspiration to measurable national and enterprise outcomes. Anchored in the principles of People, Planet, and Progress, the Summit outlined a future where artificial intelligence advances humanity, enables inclusive economic expansion, and strengthens long-term sustainability.

 

Jay Bavisi speaks at the India AI Impact Summit 2026, calling on India’s IT industry to lead the national AI workforce transformation

 

The Summit marked a pivotal global moment in AI’s evolution, drawing more than 300,000 attendees within its first three days and bringing together some of the most influential voices shaping the global AI economy, including Jensen Huang of Nvidia, Sundar Pichai of Google, Bill Gates, Sam Altman, and other technology leaders driving frontier innovation. It arrived at a moment of unprecedented reckoning for the global technology services industry, reflecting a broader shift from experimentation to measurable implementation.

 

Held amid heightened unprecedented reckoning for the global technology services industry. In the days leading up to the event, AI-driven disruption fears triggered a sharp selloff across major IT services firms. India’s Nifty IT index plunged nearly 19 percent over eight trading sessions, wiping out approximately Rs. 4.8 to Rs. 5 lakh crore in combined market capitalisation, marking one of the steepest sectoral corrections in recent years. Top Indian IT companies suffered sharp double-digit declines, with one industry giant briefly falling below the Rs. 10 lakh crore market cap threshold for the first time since December 2020, while several others hit fresh 52-week lows. The carnage was not limited to India: overseas-listed shares of leading firms plunged nearly 10 percent in a single New York trading session, as global investors reassessed the long-term viability of the labour-intensive outsourcing model that has powered the sector for decades.

 

The stakes could not be higher. India’s IT-BPM  industry remains one of the country’s most significant economic pillars , generating approximately $283 billion in revenue in FY2025, contributing over 7 percent to national GDP, and directly employing nearly 5.8 million professionals. As AI reshapes enterprise operating models worldwide, the need to reskill and realign this workforce has become a strategic priority. Leading IT companies recorded significant declines, with several stocks hitting multi-month or 52-week lows as investors reassessed the long-term implications of AI on traditional outsourcing and services models. The correction was not limited to India, as IT services companies listed overseas also experienced notable declines, reflecting broader global uncertainty around the future of labour-intensive service delivery in the AI era.

 

Yet within this disruption lies what may be the most consequential workforce opportunity of the decade. The same AI technologies dismantling traditional service delivery models are simultaneously creating massive new demand for professionals who can deploy, secure, and govern AI systems at enterprise scale. The question confronting India’s $283 billion IT sector is not whether AI will transform its business but whether the nation can retool its 5.8 million-strong technology workforce fast enough to lead that transformation rather than be consumed by it. This is precisely the challenge that Jay Bavisi, Founder and CEO of EC-Council, addressed head-on at the Summit.

 

Bavisi, creator of the world-renowned Certified Ethical Hacker (CEH) credential and a global leader in applied cybersecurity education – shifted the focus from experimentation to execution maturity, emphasizing that AI’s future will be determined not by how fast it advances, but by how responsibly it is built, governed, and secured.

 

Addressing the panel “Responsible AI at Scale: Governance, Integrity & Cyber Readiness,” Bavisi emphasized that as AI becomes embedded across financial systems, healthcare infrastructure, manufacturing ecosystems, digital governance platforms, and national security frameworks, disciplined workforce capability becomes the decisive factor in responsible scale.

 

In his broader remarks on the Summit and India’s AI trajectory, Bavisi emphasized both the scale of the event and the magnitude of the opportunity.

 

“This is an amazing summit that has been organized in India, the AI Impact Summit. I have not seen a summit of this size. The number of people, the number of thinkers who are here from all across the world – it is a very successful event and a dialogue that is extremely important in a world that is being transformed by AI,” he said.

 

Bavisi emphasized that artificial intelligence carries transformative potential, but only if managed with structural discipline. “AI has the potential to cause mayhem if it is not implemented properly,” he stated. “When AI becomes embedded into systems, responsibility becomes critical.”

 

He framed India’s opportunity not merely as participation in AI growth, but as leadership through capability.

 

“India has a phenomenal opportunity to be a supplier of talent to the world. Indian professionals are known globally for their technical ability. In the world of AI right now, it is time to wake up and serve professionals to the world who are able to adopt, govern, and defend,” Bavisi said.

 

“The fact that India is taking leadership in AI is a phenomenal step in the right direction,” he added. “India is one of the very few countries with professionals who are proficient in language models, and technology at scale. This is a moment for India.”

 

Under Bavisi’s leadership, EC-Council has expanded its global AI footprint through structured, role-based capability development aligned to real-world enterprise needs. The Enterprise AI Credential Suite and the modernization of Certified CISO v4 represent the largest expansion in the organization’s 25-year history, built for one clear reality: AI is scaling faster than the workforce trained to run, secure, and govern it.

 

Structured around EC-Council’s proprietary Adopt. Defend. Govern. (ADG) framework for AI, the suite includes Artificial Intelligence Essentials (AI|E), Certified AI Program Manager (C|AIPM), Certified Offensive AI Security Professional (C|OASP), and Certified Responsible AI Governance & Ethics Professional (C|RAGE). Together with Certified CISO v4, these credentials form a unified workforce architecture designed to support AI deployment, governance oversight, security resilience, and executive leadership at enterprise scale.

 

The strength of that architecture was reflected in the engagement following Bavisi’s session. The discussion room reached capacity, with standing-room-only attendance and sustained interaction well beyond the scheduled time. Many attendees identified themselves as CEHs, reinforcing the credential’s long-standing global recognition even within a summit dominated by frontier AI technologies.

 

Bavisi emphasized that leadership in artificial intelligence will not be defined solely by technological speed, but by execution maturity.

 

“We often measure progress in numbers,” Bavisi said. “But the larger impact lies in shaping professionals who go on to defend companies, governments, and communities. Workforce development is not transactional. It is generational.”
