Security (For AI) Category Special Prize

Security (For AI) Category – Special Prize: “A10 Defend AI Firewall – Thunder 1060S-AI“

As the adoption of LLMs (Large Language Models) advances, all natural language input is treated as user input, making it difficult to defend against malicious input vulnerabilities with just the LLM itself. The “A10 Defend AI Firewall – Thunder 1060S-AI” monitors input and output at the boundary between users and LLMs, preventing attacks on the LLM, unintended outputs, and leakage of confidential information. Furthermore, by incorporating a dedicated, low-latency AI-Engine, it supports customization to protect organizational policies and sensitive data, thereby enabling a secure LLM usage environment.

Attackers can also blend in with legitimate communications to obtain information and skillfully conceal their hacking activities. The cloud-native API security solution “Web API Security – ThreatX by A10 Networks” continuously tracks and analyzes such attacker behaviors, accurately detecting and defending against attacks to protect businesses from misuse and data breaches.

Terra Motors, a Japanese electric vehicle OEM, has appointed its first L5 category dealer in India, marking a milestone in its nationwide expansion plan. The new dealership, M.M. Enterprises, located in Varanasi, will take charge of Terra’s L5 sales and service operations in the region, offering the flagship model Kyoro+, a high-speed (L5) electric 3-wheeler designed for urban and semi-urban transport.

Mr. Go Suzuki (MD, Terra Motors) with newly appointed L5 dealer in Varanasi, Uttar Pradesh

This appointment comes in response to the overwhelming interest generated post-launch. Since the official unveiling on May 27, Terra Motors has received over 100 dealership enquiries within just two weeks. Its a signal of the market’s readiness for the high-speed auto segment. Terra Motors is now actively onboarding forward-looking dealers, with a specific focus on partners from both existing L3 markets and established L5 territories.

“This is more than just our first dealer appointment – it’s the milestone for our aggressive expansion strategy,” said Mr. Go Suzuki, Managing Director, Terra Motors India. “We are witnessing a shift in how cities approach clean mobility. With Kyoro+, we aim to lead this transformation by offering a product that is high on performance and accessible through flexible finance options like zero down payment. The appointment in Varanasi reflects the power of the product-market fit and our intent to grow rapidly across Uttar Pradesh.”

With many L3 (e-rickshaw) dealers facing regulatory restrictions in key city areas, Terra Motors is encouraging them to transition to the growing L5 segment. The newly appointed dealer, M.M. Enterprises, had been operating in the L3 category with one of the leading OEMs with strong sales volume, but identified the potential in L5 due to evolving local traffic norms limiting CNG and e-rickshaws on main roads. Recognising this shift, he was attracted to Terra’s L5 offering. Mukhtar Ansari, proprietor of M.M. Enterprises, shared, “We’re excited to partner with Terra Motors and introduce a product that ticks every box – mileage, comfort, price, and most importantly, financing for end customers.”

The Kyoro+ is engineered for efficiency and comfort with a range of 200 km, 5-year warranty, and on-road price starts from Rs. 3.65 lakh. Backed by Terra Finance’s zero down payment offer, it becomes one of the most compelling choices in the L5 passenger vehicle category.

This announcement is just the amplification of Terra Motors’ aggressive dealer network expansion for the L5 segment. We’re inviting established L3 dealers to upgrade with us and lead the L5 shift in your city. Be among the first in your region. The company aims to establish a strong footprint across key Indian cities by onboarding dealers with EV OEM background.

Blue Tokai, India’s leading specialty coffee brand, is stepping beyond its core cafe model with the launch of Blue Tokai Origins, a new experience built for people to slow down and taste the story behind their food. The first Origins cafe has opened on Ireo Grand View High Street, First Floor, Sector-58, Gurugram.

“Origins is where everything we’ve been building over the last decade comes together – the coffee, the craft, the community, the partners. It’s not just a larger cafe; it’s a space to slow down, try something new, and reconnect with what you love about coffee, alongside the warmth of a live bakery and an artisanally crafted menu with locally sourced ingredients. Every detail, from the brewing bar to the live bakery, has been designed to deepen the experience of connection and flavour,” said Shivam Shahi, Co-founder, Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters.

Blue Tokai Origins – Play Bar

Inside Blue Tokai Origins

Spread across 2,000 square feet, Origins is designed as a sensorial, layered space that deepens Blue Tokai’s promise of craft and transparency. Guests will find experiences curated to highlight the process and people behind every offering.

Manual Brewing, Made Immersive

Set apart from the main coffee counter where espresso-based drinks are served, Origins features a dedicated manual brewing station called the Play Bar. With the most extensive selection of manual brewing techniques ever introduced in a Blue Tokai space, coffee lovers can now taste their way through seven distinct methods, including the Chemex, Syphon, Slow Drip, and more. Each method brings out unique facets of coffee, from the body to the acidity, and is explained by trained baristas.

Adding to this experience is the Nitro Cold Brew tap, serving chilled, nitrogen-infused single-origin cold brew, crafted using the Baby Hardtank, a patented technology that extracts a wider range of flavour compounds.

The Coffee Cellar

At the Play Bar, some of Blue Tokais rarest lots, frozen at peak flavour, are preserved in a temperature-controlled space called The Coffee Cellar. The selection includes some of Blue Tokais highest-scoring coffees, including lots that are shared as part of their coveted Producer Series. These are brewed exclusively as Pour Overs using tailored recipes to bring out their best.

Live Bakery by Suchali’s Artisan Bakehouse

A standout part of the Origins experience is the live, glass-walled bakery, run by Suchali’s Artisan Bakehouse. From smell to sight, the bakery adds a warm, sensory layer to the space. Here, visitors can witness the process of craft baking, unfolding live. Hand-shaped sourdough loaves, twice-baked croissants, cookies, and beyond are crafted here from scratch.

The artisanal breads baked here are slow fermented using natural cultures. They are also available for customers to take home, fresh off the rack.

Blue Tokai Origins

A Comfort-First, Craft-Led Menu

The menu is designed in collaboration with Chef Auroni Mukherjee, one of India’s most celebrated young chefs, known for his flavour-first approach to modern Indian food. It blends warmth and technique, reflective of the brand’s own identity, rooted in mastery; without losing its accessibility to its wide audiences. Think:

• Handmade pasta with flavour twists like the Chilli Crunch Carbonara.

• Gourmet club sandwiches and open-faced toasts built on signature sourdough breads by Suchalis Artisan Bakehouse.

• Dishes made using farm-sourced produce from trusted partners like Krishi Cress and Shroomery.

• A selection of desserts by Suchali’s Artisan Bakehouse, featuring familiar comforts and sweet surprises like the classic Tiramisu and a light-yet-decadent Coconut Berry Lamington.
  ​

It’s food that feels familiar, but with depth, balance, and an attention to detail you can taste.

An Ode to Blue Tokai’s Mission

Throughout Origins, visual storytelling highlights the people and processes behind the brand – from the farms Blue Tokai sources from to the story of Suchali’s Artisan Bakehouse. Walls, installations, and little details create an unfolding narrative for guests to engage with at their own pace.

Blue Tokai Origins is designed to evolve with its community. In the months ahead, the brand will host producers, run interactive workshops on brewing and baking, and curate sensory experiences that help customers see coffee in new, meaningful ways.

For those looking to slow down, dive deeper into coffee, and taste the story behind their food, Origins offers a space unlike any other.
