India, Mumbai – May 20, 2025 – UiPath (NYSE: PATH), a global leader in agentic automation, announced new capabilities that enable the orchestration of Microsoft Copilot Studio agents alongside UiPath and other third-party agents using UiPath Maestro™, an enterprise orchestration solution to seamlessly coordinate agents, robots, and people across complex processes. Developers can now orchestrate Microsoft Copilot Studio agents directly from Maestro. 

This capability builds on bi-directional integration between the UiPath Platform™ and Microsoft Copilot Studio recently announced by Microsoft, that facilitates seamless interaction between UiPath and Microsoft agents and automations — allowing customers to automate complex end-to-end processes, enable contextual decision-making, improve scalability, and unlock new levels of productivity. Developers can now embed UiPath automations and AI agents directly into Microsoft Copilot Studio and integrate Copilot agents within UiPath Studio— all while orchestrating seamlessly across platforms with UiPath Maestro. 

“Our continued partnership with Microsoft enables millions of Microsoft users to take full advantage of the capabilities and flexibility offered by agentic automation and orchestration,” said Graham Sheldon, Chief Product Officer at UiPath. “The UiPath multi-agent, cross-system capability uniquely enables seamless interaction and collaboration across various enterprise systems and applications, breaking down silos and enhancing overall operational efficiency.”  

Building an Open Ecosystem 

Business processes are complex, spanning modern SaaS systems, legacy platforms, documents, desktop applications and user actions. 

As several agentic platforms continue to take ‘walled garden’ approaches, UiPath is committed to building an open ecosystem so customers can focus on business outcomes without getting bogged down by technology limitations. UiPath Maestro can leverage the bi-directional integration with Copilot Studio to give customers built-in capabilities to build, manage, and orchestrate agents built in Microsoft Copilot Studio and other platforms in a controlled and scalable way—all while driving tangible business outcomes. 

“You cannot automate a process in isolation; integrating across technology boundaries is necessary for real business impact,” remarked Ramnath Natarajan, Director of Global Intelligent Automation & Integration at Johnson Controls.

Real World Applications

Customers who use Microsoft Copilot Studio agents and Power Automate for email monitoring, email classification and intelligent Q&A are already seeing measurable ROI by augmenting their processes with UiPath agentic automation. 

For example, Johnson Controls enhanced an existing automation—originally built with UiPath robots and Power Automate—by adding a UiPath agent for confidence-based document extraction. The result: a 500% return on investment and projected savings of 18,000 hours annually that were previously spent on manual document review.

“This bi-directional integration harnesses the combined strengths of Microsoft Copilot and UiPath agents to fully automate complex workflows across documents, emails, PowerApps, and enterprise systems,” added Ramnath Natarajan, Director of Global Intelligent Automation & Integration Johnson Controls. 

Empowering Developers

The integration extends other new capabilities that elevate business processes and drive smarter outcomes with agentic automation across departments and platforms. For instance, customers can now run coded agents built using LangGraph natively on the UiPath Platform without changing a single line of code. This empowers professional developers to build and test their agents using Python tooling while getting advantages of the UiPath Platform including governance, security, evaluations, and more—while running LangChain agents in their business process.

Developers can also use UiPath UI Agent for computer use, to navigate real-world enterprise interfaces. The UiPath UI Agent understands intent, plans, and acts autonomously using a combination of computer use models and UiPath industry leading UI Automation. UI Agent is currently in private preview.

Partnership with Microsoft

UiPath has partnered with Microsoft to build a joint agentic vision anchored on industry leadership and customer choice. These integrations join the availability of its enhanced Autopilot agent for Copilot for Microsoft 365 and Microsoft Teams, allowing joint customers access to UiPath enterprise-grade automation capabilities from anywhere they use Copilot for Microsoft 365 or Teams.

UiPath and Microsoft are also working together to make Azure tools discoverable to UiPath agents with an MCP integration as well as bring models and capabilities built on AI foundry to customers through the UiPath Platform.

India, May 20, 2025 – According to Cisco’s 2025 Cybersecurity Readiness Index, only 7% of organizations in India have achieved the ‘Mature’ level of readiness required to effectively withstand today’s cybersecurity threats. This is a slight increase from last year’s Index, in which 4% of organizations in India were designated as Mature. This demonstrates that despite a slight improvement from last year, cybersecurity preparedness remains low as hyperconnectivity and AI introduce new complexities for security practitioners.

AI is revolutionizing security and escalating threat levels, with 9 in 10 organizations (95%) facing AI-related security incidents last year. However, only 66% of respondents are confident their employees fully understand AI related threats, and 63% believe their teams fully grasp how malicious actors are using AI to execute sophisticated attacks. This awareness gap leaves organizations critically exposed.

AI is compounding an already challenging threat landscape. In the last year, more than half of organizations (57%) suffered cyberattacks, hindered by complex security frameworks with disparate point solutions. Looking forward, respondents view external threats like malicious actors and state-affiliated groups (46%) as more significant to their organizations than internal threats (54%), underscoring the urgent need for streamlined defense strategies to thwart external attacks. 

“As AI transforms the enterprise, we are dealing with an entirely new class of risks at unprecedented scale – putting even more pressure on our infrastructure and those who defend it,” said Cisco Chief Product Officer Jeetu Patel. “This year’s report continues to reveal alarming gaps in security readiness and a lack of urgency to address them. Organizations must rethink their strategies now or risk becoming irrelevant in the AI era.”

“As cyberattacks grow in scale and sophistication, the risks now extend far beyond data loss—organizations face operational disruption, damage to brand reputation, and erosion of customer trust. This year’s Cybersecurity Readiness Index reveals a widening gap between the pace of threats and the preparedness of businesses,” said Samir Kumar Mishra, Director, Security Business, Cisco India & SAARC. “To close this gap, organizations must adopt unified, AI-driven security platforms that automate threat detection and response. Addressing the talent shortage and mitigating risks from unmanaged devices and shadow AI will be equally critical to building resilience and safeguarding trust in an increasingly digital world.”

2025 Cisco Cybersecurity Readiness Index: Cybersecurity Readiness Remains Flat as AI Transforms the Industry

The Index evaluates companies’ readiness across five pillars—Identity Intelligence, Network Resilience, Machine Trustworthiness, Cloud Reinforcement, and AI Fortification— and encompassing 31 solutions and capabilities. Based on a double-blind survey of 8,000 private sector security and business leaders in 30 global markets, respondents detailed their deployment stages for each solution. Companies were then categorized into four readiness stages: Beginner, Formative, Progressive, and Mature.

New Delhi, May 20, 2025: With world class infrastructure, excellent connectivity, growing commercial activity and rapid price appreciation, Dwarka expressway is shaping up to be one of the most attractive real estate destinations.

According to a report by NSE-listed real estate data analytics firm PropEquity, 42,816 units have been launched in Dwarka Expressway between 2010-2024. The number of units sold during this period stood at 41,899 units. 

During this period, the weighted average price of new launches rose by 397% from Rs 3,753 per sq. ft. in 2010 to Rs 18,668 per sq. ft. in 2024.

Between 2020-24, 15,994 units were launched, between 2015-19, 4,234 units were launched, while during 2010-14, 22,588 units were launched.

The weighted average price of new launches rose from Rs 3,753 per sq. ft. in 2010 to Rs 6,238 per sq. ft. in 2015 to Rs 9,434 per sq. ft. in 2020 to Rs 18,668 per sq. ft. In 2024.

The NSE-listed data analytics firm PropEquity tracks real estate projects in 44 cities in India with more than 18 years of catalogued data.

Samir Jasuja, Founder and CEO, PropEquity said, “Between 2025 and 2030, over 18,000 units are expected to be launched and over 15,500 units are expected to be absorbed in Dwarka expressway reinforcing sustained future demand. The steady price growth highlights the corridor’s lucrative investment destination. 4BHK apartments dominate the market in the last five years in price range of Rs 4.8 cr to Rs 8.6 crore.”

“Developers launched fewer projects during 2015-19. Even though a part of the expressway was operational, the project was entangled in multiple issues. The real estate sector too was witnessing some decline towards the fag end of this period.”

Dwarka Expressway has emerged as a key market in NCR with its share in total launches in Gurugram rising.

Between 2020-24, Dwarka Expressway accounted for 23% of the total supply in Gurugram, rising marginally from 21% between 2015-19. 

According to the report, most housing supplies in the last five years (2020-2024) in Dwarka expressway came in Sectors 113, 37D, 106, 111 and 103 accounting for 74% of the total supply in Dwarka expressway. 

Progression of Dwarka Expressway:

The 29-km Dwarka Expressway, also called Northern Peripheral Road, was proposed in 2006 by the Haryana Government as an alternative route to NH-48, connecting Delhi with Gurugram. Initially slated to be a 18km project, 14km of the expressway was operationalised in 2016. Later, the NHAI took over the project, reworked on the alignment and categorised it as a National Highway (NH-248BB). 

The foundation stone was laid in 2019 and 19km of the Gurugram stretch was inaugurated in 2024 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi. 

This 8-lane elevated expressway connects Shiv Murti on NH-48, to Dwarka and terminates at KherkiDaula Toll Plaza in Gurugram thereby reducing the travel time between cities, IGI airport, workplaces and entertainment hubs.

Infrastructure developments like Yashobhoomi Covention Centre and upcoming Dwarka Golf Course in sector 24 have boosted real estate. The redevelopment of Bijwasan Railway Station, located at the intersection of Dwarka Expressway and UER II is likely to improve regional connectivity.

The proposed metro connectivity from HUDA City Centre to Cyber City with Spur to Dwarka Expressway covering the distance of 28.50 km having 27 stations on the route will further boost connectivity.

Five multi-modal integration plans have been proposed to connect the Delhi-Alwar rapid rail corridor with existing and planned transport corridors with one at KherkiDaula near the Dwarka Expressway.

The Haryana government is also developing Global City project along the Dwarka Expressway.
