Cloudera Launches Private Link Network for Secure, Internet-Free Cloud Connectivity

India, September 18, 2024 – Cloudera, the only true hybrid platform for data, analytics and AI, today launched Cloudera Private Link Network to address critical data security and privacy concerns for highly regulated organizations with strict internal data security policies. Cloudera Private Link Network provides secure, private connectivity from customer workloads to the Cloudera Control Plane, ensuring that data does not traverse the public Internet.

Organizations in industries such as finance, healthcare, and pharmaceuticals often face privacy challenges because providers often cannot guarantee that traffic between tenants, even within the same cloud, will not traverse the Internet and risk data exposure. Cloudera Private Link Network helps to solve these challenges by providing a unified, cross-cloud private connectivity service, enabling enterprises to securely manage data-intensive workloads across multiple cloud environments through a single, specialized network.

Cloudera Private Link Network integrates across major cloud providers by utilizing existing cloud provider services like AWS PrivateLink and Azure Private Link and other network infrastructure such as multi-cloud connectivity. This setup extends secure data transfer across multiple cloud environments, to enable consistent security and streamlined management. Customers can efficiently self-serve and provision services using the Cloudera Command Line Interface.

“Cloudera Private Link Network is purpose-built and managed by Cloudera to address enterprise privacy and connectivity concerns. By offloading the management of Private Link Network to Cloudera, it will both lower TCO for your organization and free up valuable resources, allowing you to focus on strategic business initiatives,” said Dipto Chakravarty, Chief Product Officer at Cloudera. “By managing data integrity and trustworthiness throughout the architecture, we help enterprises safeguard sensitive customer data.”

“As organizations move to cross-cloud deployments, they expect to drastically reduce the complexity of multi-platform configurations to a point that they should only have to specify private link network endpoints between their control plane and the data planes,” said industry analyst, Sanjeev Mohan. “Private Link Network helps enterprises protect their data more effectively and easily leverage disparate clouds to reduce total cost of ownership. This advancement further establishes Cloudera as a leader in providing secure, cross-cloud connectivity for metadata management.”

Homegrown Hot Condiments Brand ‘Kaatil’ Bags Early-Stage Funding Led by Prajay Advisors and strategic investors

Mumbai | 18th September, 2024: Kaatil, an Indian-chilli focused hot condiments brand of Smerc Food & Beverages, today announced it has successfully raised an undisclosed amount in seed funding. The funding was led by Mumbai-based Prajay Advisors along with Shivaan Ghai and Romil Ratra from Mumbai’s Graviss Group. This announcement comes right after Kaatil won the Great Taste Award 2024 by the Guild of Fine Foods, U.K.

Kaatil, which boasts a robust pipeline of products in different categories, including Hot Sauces, Hot Ketchups, and Chilli Oils made of Indian chillies, plans to use the capital for expanding their product lines and presence through multiple national and international distribution channels including e-commerce marketplaces, quick commerce, and offline retail outlets. The company also plans to establish an independent B2B supply arm to cater to Restaurants, Hotels and Cafés.

Sagar Merchant, Founder of Kaatil, said, “We are very excited to have this investment from Prajay Advisors & other strategic investors, who have demonstrated a very sharp acumen in understanding the food and beverage space. Our observation from the last five years indicates that India’s food consumption behaviour has drastically evolved and people are now willing to experiment with new brands and products than ever before. Most importantly, they are constantly seeking alternative products to upgrade their pantry and have moved beyond the loop of purchasing the same products every month for the sake of traditional loyalty. Keeping in mind the palette of Indian consumers, we have curated the most flavourful hot condiments with different levels of heat, all made using Indian chillies. Our aim hereon is to reach consumers, who possess a strong liking for hot condiments, not only in India but also globally.”

Speaking on the announcement, Arjun Panwar, Co-Founder of Kaatil, said, “We are grateful to have raised this capital, which we plan to utilize for solidifying our presence and distribution, and expanding our product suite. Our goal is to also educate consumers on how these products fit into their everyday meals and can go well with all cuisines. We want to be their go-to partner for all the meals and in all their food choices. We also believe, our products can help uncover the story of Indian chillies to the world, which, by far, is lesser known to the people, despite being one of the biggest producers of distinct chillies.”

Dr. Prakash Mody and Mr. Jayendra Shah of Prajay Advisors, expressed, “We are very bullish about the category and are backing Sagar and Arjun for their varied experience and deep understanding of the market. Kaatil is perfectly poised to make a dent in the rapidly growing global condiments sector in India and the world.” Cignas from N. A. Shah Advisors LLP situated in Mumbai, acted as a transaction advisor to Prajay Advisors. Cignas is a niche professional services firm rendering suite of value-added services to its clients (website: www.nashahadvisors.com).

Founded and headquartered in Mumbai in 2021, Kaatil came into existence to bridge the Indian food gap in the space of hot condiments by introducing and highlighting the variety of chillies. From a marketing stand-point, as well as to simplify the buyer’s journey and enhance their experience, every product of Kaatil comes with a number-based nomenclature – higher the product’s numeric name, hotter the condiment. They also recently bagged the Great Taste Award 2024 by the Guild of Fine Foods, U.K. and are reported to be the only Indian chilli focused hot sauce brand to win this honour.

“The Guild has awarded us for our undeniable heat but sustained real flavour. It is exactly what we strive for at Kaatil – delivering flavourful heat. This helps us to expand our global footprint with a legitimate organisation putting its stamp of approval towards our mission to bring desi heat to the world, putting Indian chillies, and Bhoot Jolokia in this case, on the global map,” added Merchant.

Staying true to its omnichannel model, Kaatil is currently available on its D2C site, Amazon, Big Basket, Nature’s Basket & in leading offline stores across Mumbai, Pune & Hyderabad. The brand’s products are also now available on Amazon USA & in offline stores in Canada & New Zealand.

The allure of Indian Seasoning, Dressing, and Condiments continues to captivate the local and global markets. Recent data suggests that the industry is pegged to grow Rs. 19,000 Cr by FY25. The Sauces and Condiments category has also witnessed high demand and is anticipated to reach Rs. 3,000 at the growth rate of 23.10 percent by FY25. This exponential rise in demand can attributed to new and booming segments of home chefs, party hosts, caterers, and quick meal fixers.

Rekindling their celebrated on-screen chemistry from a decade ago, the idols once again radiate the effortless style, enduring charm and magnetic allure that have helped make them such a captivating presence and exciting cultural phenomenon. Those magical qualities now align perfectly with the Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton and Rado Centrix Open Heart Super Jubilé – watches that ooze contemporary style, innovation and luxury. It almost goes without saying that both pieces also represent the iconic design heritage, materials expertise and creative ambition of Rado.

Roshan and Kaif – both Rado brand ambassadors – lend their incredible star quality to showcase the two watches in a campaign that channels the evocative meaning conveyed by gifts of true craftsmanship. The acclaimed performers tell a compelling story of the art of giving, where thoughtful consideration combines with unrivalled sophistication – an approach guaranteed to lift the heart of any gift recipient.

For those with a thirst for adventure…

Roshan unveils the Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton, presented for the first time in a matt black monobloc case with rose-gold embellishments. Through its black-tinted box-shaped sapphire crystal and beyond its bold hands and indexes – all brushed rose-gold-coloured, with black Super-Luminova® – its Rado calibre R808 automatic movement can be glimpsed, featuring a rose-gold-coloured centre wheel bridge.

Set on a high-tech ceramic bracelet, it makes an unmistakeably powerful statement. Its intriguing harmony of luxury and soulful sophistication with the robustness of a sports watch makes it the perfect gift for someone with an unquenchable thirst for life and an eye for the details. They’ll discover a movement with Côtes de Genève decoration, an antimagnetic Nivachron™ hairspring and an 80-hour power reserve, contained in a case that is water-resistant to 30 bar (300 metres). Of course, the skeletonised movement can also be seen through the transparent sapphire case back.

Roshan said: “The Rado Captain Cook High-Tech Ceramic Skeleton is a dynamic fusion of watchmaking heritage, innovative materials and modern design, ready to remind the wearer of their proudest achievements and accompany them on adventures to come.”

…and to mark those moments of pure emotion

And Kaif, known for her grace and style, personally exemplifies the Rado Centrix Open Heart Jubilé. Its rose-gold-coloured case and dark brown mother-of-pearl dial – featuring 12 diamond indexes – beautifully frame a view of the Rado calibre R734 automatic movement. This careful composition celebrates two worlds: elegance on the surface meets complexity beneath. When given as a gift, it becomes a metaphor for life and the precious moments that define it, whether telling a story of celebration or following the path of true love.

Elements like the unique organic contrasts within the dial, the circular grain decoration on the movement and the high-tech ceramic links within the rose-gold-coloured bracelet lend additional layers of finesse that will reflect the richness of each recipient’s journey.

Kaif said: “The Rado Centrix Open Heart Jubilé is not just the epitome of luxury, elegance and style but a work of art, making it the ideal gift for joyful moments you want to treasure forever.”

Adrian Bosshard, CEO of Rado, added: “At Rado, we believe in creating timepieces that are more than accessories–they are symbols of life’s most profound moments.
