From Experiment to Execution: WSO2 Integrates AI into the Core of Modern Software Development

Austin, TX and Barcelona, Spain/New Delhi – March 21, 2025 – Emerging artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are disrupting business models and opening opportunities to drive cost-efficiencies and new revenue streams. However, few AI proof-of-concept projects actually make it to production because current software platforms lack the abstractions and building blocks to include AI components in production-grade applications in a way that is easy and scalable. Today, WSO2 is closing this gap with the next generation of its industry-leading, open-source platform, which has been reinvented for the AI era.

AI is now a first-class concept across the entire spectrum of products that comprise the WSO2 software stack—enabling enterprises to easily create (code), integrate, manage and secure intelligent digital products and services. The newest WSO2 product offerings are generally available, and their AI-native capabilities are being demonstrated at WSO2Con 2025, which runs March 18-20, 2025 in Barcelona, Spain.

Through its dedication to research, training, and compassionate care, it has established itself as a trusted name in eye health, both in India and globally.

Breaking Stereotypes Hemant Chaudhary Reflects on Playing Kuldeep in Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri

Seasoned actor Hemant Chaudhary, known for his powerful screen presence, is captivating audiences once again with Sun Neo’s recently launched show Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri, where he plays Kuldeep, the father of the lead character Rudra (played by Savi Thakur). Kuldeep is a man deeply rooted in his beliefs, shaped by his unwavering loyalty to his mother. His perspective on life, relationships, and family dynamics makes him a complex yet intriguing character.

Speaking about his character, Hemant Chaudhary shares, “The character I am playing has his own outlook on life. What may seem negative to some might actually be positive in his own way because he blindly follows his mother. Whatever she says becomes his ultimate truth. If she tells him something, he believes it without question. If she says his wife is not right for him, he will accept it without hesitation.”

The Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri actor futher added, “It’s quite ironic that a thick, well-groomed mustache is often linked to negativity. A long mustache is usually associated with power or dominance, and if styled a certain way, it tends to indicate a negative character. But I don’t believe that’s always true. I have interpreted Kuldeep in my own way, as I believe that defines who he is.”

Rishto Se Bandhi Gauri follows Gauri, a brave and kind-hearted girl whose faith guides her through life. Forced into an unwanted marriage, she navigates challenges as the Bundela family’s daughter-in-law, shaping her own destiny with wisdom and courage. Starring Eshaa Pathak, Savi Thakur, and Swati Shah, watch this emotional drama on Sun Neo, Mon-Sun at 8:30 PM.
