CoreStack Appoints Raj Kunnath as President of BetterCloud to Accelerate Unified Governance Across Cloud, SaaS, and AI

BetterCloud, now a CoreStack company, today announced the appointment of Raj Kunnath as President of BetterCloud. Kunnath, a CoreStack executive with a track record spanning over two decades in enterprise SaaS, large-scale M&A, and global technology transformation, will lead BetterCloud’s operational and integration strategy as the combined company builds toward a unified Agentic Governance Operating System across cloud, SaaS, and AI.

 

The appointment marks a defining moment in BetterCloud’s evolution, from leading SaaS management platform to a foundational pillar of CoreStack’s enterprise governance vision. With the combined entity now serving over 2,000 customers globally, governing more than $6 billion in annual cloud consumption and $35 billion in SaaS spend, the need for experienced, execution-focused leadership has never been greater.

 

Leadership Appointment

Raj Kunnath brings an exceptional combination of operational depth and strategic reach to the role. Having led more than 80 acquisitions throughout his career, he has built a reputation for turning complex integrations into competitive advantages. His experience spans enterprise SaaS platforms, go-to-market execution, and global operating models, with high-impact transformation roles at organizations including Microsoft and major global financial institutions.

 

At CoreStack, Kunnath has already operated at the intersection of technology, business, and strategy. As President of BetterCloud, he will drive integration execution, customer and partner success, and the next phase of organic growth, with a particular focus on enabling the Agentic Governance OS vision that CoreStack and BetterCloud are building together.

 

“BetterCloud has built something rare: a true category, a loyal customer base, and a platform that sits at the center of how modern enterprises manage their SaaS environments. My focus is clear: integrate with excellence, serve our customers without disruption, and unlock the full potential of what CoreStack and BetterCloud can achieve together. The governance challenge enterprises face today, across cloud, SaaS, and AI, is exactly the problem we’re uniquely positioned to solve. – Raj Kunnath, President, BetterCloud.

 

CoreStack Leadership Perspective

Ez Natarajan, CEO of CoreStack, underscored the strategic importance of the appointment and the combined company’s ambition.

 

“Raj is exactly the kind of leader this moment demands: someone who can execute at pace, integrate with precision, and inspire the teams and customers who make BetterCloud what it is. AI is reshaping how enterprises operate: from systems we manage to systems that act. The challenge is no longer just managing infrastructure or applications; it is governing outcomes at machine speed. Raj will ensure we deliver on that promise, and do it in a way that earns the trust of every customer and partner we serve.” – Ez Natarajan, CEO, CoreStack.

 

A Founder’s Continued Commitment

In a further signal of confidence in BetterCloud’s trajectory, David Politis, founder of BetterCloud and the pioneer who coined the term “SaaSOps” and built the category from the ground up, will join the combined entity as Strategic Advisor.

 

Politis founded BetterCloud in 2011 with a vision that SaaS applications needed their own operational discipline. Over more than a decade, he raised $187 million, scaled the company to hundreds of employees across New York, Atlanta, and San Francisco, and established BetterCloud as the definitive leader in SaaS management and security. He authored two landmark industry books, The IT Leader’s Guide to SaaSOps (Volumes 1 and 2), and has been featured in The New York Times, Fortune, CIO, and the BBC. His continued involvement as Strategic Advisor brings category-defining insight and deep customer community trust to the leadership team.

 

“I built BetterCloud because I believed the enterprise world needed a dedicated discipline for managing and securing SaaS, and I’ve spent over a decade proving that out. Watching that vision grow into a category, and now seeing it become part of CoreStack’s broader governance platform, is exactly the evolution I hoped for. Raj brings the execution depth and integration expertise this next chapter requires, and I’m excited to stay close to the work.” – David Politis, Founder, BetterCloud & Strategic Advisor.

M3M India's Delivers its 13th Retail Project, 'M3M Paragon57' in Delhi-NCR

M3M India has announced the receipt of the Occupancy Certificate (OC) for M3M Paragon57, its flagship mixed-use development in Sector 57, Gurugram. The milestone marks the project’s readiness for occupancy and operations, further strengthening the company’s position in the premium retail and serviced apartment segment.
 

M3M India’s delivers its 13th Retail Project, ‘M3M Paragon57’ in Delhi-NCR
 

Spread across 3.16 acre, M3M Paragon57 comprises a total of 554 units, with a saleable area of approximately 5 Lac sq. ft. The project integrates high-street retail with serviced apartments, aligning with evolving urban consumption patterns and demand for integrated developments.
 

The project will achieve a topline of approximately Rs. 1,000 crore with an investment of Rs. 560 crore, reflecting strong market response and investor confidence.
 

M3M Paragon57 is poised to become one of the landmark destinations in Gurugram, offering a vibrant and well-curated mix of retail, lifestyle, and dining experiences. The development will feature prominent anchor brands such as Westside, LuLu Hypermarket, and Jetts Fitness India, ensuring strong footfall and a dynamic shopping environment. Complementing these anchors is an extensive lineup of popular retail, fashion, food and beverage brands, including Levi’s, CaratLane, Looks Salon, Puma, GIVA, Honey & Dough, BlueStone, Aretto, Bewakoof, Blue Tokai, Mini Klub, Nobero, Wrogn, Lime Light, Just In Time, and Pepe Jeans, among others.
 

Robin Mangla, President, M3M India said, “The receipt of the Occupancy Certificate for M3M Paragon57 is a significant milestone. It reflects our commitment to timely delivery and quality execution. We have already pre-leased approx. 60% of the retail space, underscoring robust demand from leading brands and operators. The development is expected to emerge as a key commercial and lifestyle destination in the Sector 57 micro-market. The strong pre-leasing traction highlights the growing demand for curated retail environments and integrated developments in Gurugram.”
 

M3M Paragon57 stands out because of its strong, ready-to-use location advantage. It sits in a well- developed and densely populated area (Sushant Lok Phase 3) surrounded by premium residential societies and daily footfall drivers, which is ideal for retail. The project enjoys excellent connectivity, being just off Golf Course Extension Road with smooth access to Sohna Road and other key parts of Gurugram, along with proximity to the Sector 55–56 Rapid Metro. Its catchment includes affluent residents with high spending capacity, making it suitable for premium retail and F&B outlets. Unlike projects in developing zones, this location already has established infrastructure like schools, hospitals, and offices, reducing risk and improving business viability.
 

The completion of M3M Paragon57 comes at a time when Gurugram’s commercial real estate market is witnessing renewed momentum. Developers across the region are focusing on mixed-use and high-street retail formats to cater to changing consumer behaviour.
 

Industry experts note that high-street retail developments with strong catchment areas and curated tenant mixes are increasingly outperforming traditional mall formats. The rise in pre-leasing activity across projects signals growing retailer confidence and sustained consumer demand.

Yo Yo Honey Singh lights up Mumbai with NDTV Good Times’ My Story Tour


The evening unfolded as a powerful narrative – tracing Honey Singh’s journey through rise, fame, setbacks, and resurgence, brought alive through music, visuals, and immersive storytelling.


In one of the most striking moments of the night, Honey Singh made a dramatic entry on stage in a Rolls Royce – an image that instantly defined the scale and energy of the evening. 


The concert also delivered two unforgettable moments of fan engagement. Winners of the Golden Ticket Contest received jewellery and one lucky fan rode home on a brand-new bike. 


The king of pop also recorded a live music video on stage, giving the fan a unique experience, just like he did in Delhi.


For the thousands present in Mumbai, it was deeply personal – a reminder that music at its most powerful, touches hearts. 


Rahul Kanwal, CEO and Editor-in-Chief of NDTV, said, “Mumbai is a city that understands a heartfelt performance like this and instinctively responds to it. With My Story, we wanted to go beyond performance and create something that feels immersive, personal, and unforgettable. What we saw tonight was that connection come alive in a way that only a city like Mumbai can make possible.”


Rahul Shaw, Chief Experiences Officer at NDTV, added, “Every city on this tour has its own energy, but Mumbai brings a certain expectation. From the opening moment to the final beat, this show was designed to match that intensity, and the response from the audience has been nothing short of incredible.”


Those who were in Mumbai will remember the night for years to come. And as the NDTV Good Times My Story World Tour travels across India, one thing is certain—while every city will have something special waiting for its fans, the energy, unpredictability, and sheer scale of this tour promise some of the most unforgettable live music moments the year will see.


Because with Honey Singh, it is not just performance, it is an experience of a lifetime – across every show, every city.

AI in Real Estate: ASBL Sponsors Python Conference Hyderabad 2026

What if real estate worked like software? ASBL shows how AI in real estate is making that possible.

 

ASBL, a tech-first real estate company, was a platinum sponsor at the Python Conference Hyderabad 2026. The event was held on March 14 and 15, 2026, at the Engineering Staff College of India, Hyderabad. It brought together developers, engineers, and technology professionals from across the country.

 

Abhijith Reddy, CTO of ASBL at Python Conference Hyderabad 2026

 

At the conference, Abhijith Reddy, CTO of ASBL, explained how technology in real estate is solving real challenges across construction, sales, and resident living. He highlighted that the industry still struggles with basic but critical problems in construction, such as maintaining budget discipline, managing material and labour payments, detecting delays early, and ensuring consistent quality.

 

ASBL is addressing these challenges using advanced prop tech solutions. The company has developed a digital twin system along with mobile apps and planning tools. In simple terms, every building is mapped digitally, and each task is clearly assigned. Teams know what work needs to be done, where it should happen, and in what order. Once a task is completed, proof is uploaded and verified before moving forward. This approach improves control, increases accountability, detects delays faster, and strengthens quality checks.

 

The same approach is applied to sales. Abhijith Reddy explained that the focus is on identifying the right customers, understanding buyer needs, automating outreach, and simplifying financing. By using structured data, automation, and AI in real estate, ASBL is making the sales process more efficient and responsive. This also creates a smoother experience for both customers and sales teams.

 

He also spoke about life after handover, where many real estate processes remain manual. In gated communities, there are multiple moving parts such as residents, staff, visitors, service requests, and amenities. Managing all of this can be complex without the right systems in place.

 

ASBL addresses this through Homes by ASBL, its dedicated resident management app. The app allows residents to manage daily activities in one place. From booking amenities to raising service requests and receiving updates, everything is handled digitally, making daily living simpler and more organized.

 

ASBL has also digitized the entire home-buying journey. Documentation workflows, approvals, and customer communication are handled through technology. This reduces the need for physical visits and makes the process easier, especially for NRIs purchasing homes from abroad.

 

By leveraging AI, they automate repetitive tasks, speed up development, and reduce errors, which allows them to focus on solving real-world real estate challenges. In a month alone, they used 3.8 billion tokens, a testament to how cursor usage drives innovation and efficiency across all the processes.

 

ASBL believes it is not a real estate company doing tech, but a tech company doing real estate. By supporting the Python community and showcasing the use of AI in real estate and prop tech, ASBL reinforced its vision of building better homes and better customer experiences through technology.

Cars24 Collaborates with Tesla to Encourage the Transition to Electric Vehicles

As electric mobility continues to gain momentum in India, Cars24 today announced a collaboration with Tesla India to introduce an integrated trade-in programme for vehicle owners, making the transition from petrol or diesel cars to electric simpler, faster, and more seamless.

 

Cars24 collaborates with Tesla India to simplify India’s transition to electric mobility


For many customers, switching to electric has traditionally meant managing two separate journeys, selling an existing vehicle and purchasing a new one. This programme brings both steps together into a single, streamlined experience, eliminating friction and simplifying the overall transition.


Available for a limited period, the programme offers an exchange bonus of Rs. 3 lakh from Tesla on petrol and diesel vehicles, along with an additional Rs. 25,000 exchange bonus from Cars24 upon successful completion of a Tesla purchase, taking the total benefit of switching from ICE car to EV to Rs. 3.25 lakh.


The journey begins at Tesla Experience Centers, where customers exploring a Tesla Model Y can initiate the exchange process as part of their purchase journey.


Customers can initiate the exchange journey on Cars24 website, app, or at Tesla Center by entering their vehicle details; they can receive an initial price estimate and schedule a doorstep inspection at their convenience.


Following the inspection, Cars24 provides a transparent price quote directly to the customer, with no obligation to proceed. Customers retain complete flexibility to accept or decline the offer.


If the customer chooses to move forward, Cars24 manages the entire process end-to-end, including vehicle pickup, direct payment to the customer’s bank account, and ownership transfer, ensuring a completely hassle-free experience without paperwork or logistical challenges.


To further support customers in making the switch, Tesla is also offering financing options starting with a down payment of Rs. 6 lakh and EMIs from Rs. 49,000 per month, making the Tesla Model Y more accessible to a wider set of buyers. The Model Y also supports convenient home charging, enabling simple and efficient everyday usage.


In addition to environmental benefits, electric vehicles offer significantly lower running and maintenance costs compared to conventional cars, making the switch both practical and economical for customers.


As part of the programme, customers who complete their Tesla purchase are eligible for the additional Rs. 25,000 Cars24 bonus, which is credited directly to their bank account upon delivery of their new Tesla.

 

Cars24 brings its digital-first platform and nationwide reach to the partnership, enabling seamless price discovery, instant payments, and hassle-free ownership transfers for customers across India.


Gajendra Jangid, Co-founder and CMO, CARS24, said, “At Cars24, our focus has always been on simplifying car transactions.
