Business Wire India

Festive shopping today is about more than tradition- it’s about elevating the experience. Embracing this shift, Instamart is debuting SPYRA ahead of Holi 2026, bringing one of the world’s most powerful water blasters to customers just in time for the celebrations. The launch marks the brand’s official India debut and adds a global, innovation-led product to Instamart’s Holi and summer lineup.

Engineered in Germany, SPYRA combines precision-shot technology with rapid reload capability to deliver a powerful, high-performance play experience that has built a strong global following. Its India debut also taps into the growing “kidult” trend, where adults are rediscovering nostalgia through premium, design-forward products. As one of India’s most experience-rich festivals, Holi is the perfect moment for a tech-enabled upgrade like this, adding a bold, memorable edge to the celebrations.

Speaking about the global brand’s India debut through quick commerce, Manender Kaushik, Head – Instamart, Alternate Business, said, “Over the past five years, we’ve seen a sharp rise in customers turning to quick commerce for both planned and last-minute Holi purchases. That has led us to build one of the widest festive assortments, from flower-based colours and water balloons to premium, experience-led products. This year, we’re taking it a step further by bringing global cult brand SPYRA to India. With SPYRA’s debut, we’re helping kids and adults alike make a splash by delivering the most exciting products of the season straight to their doorstep.”

Commenting on the launch, Sebastian Walter, Founder & CEO of SPYRA, said, “India’s love for celebration and outdoor play makes it a natural home for SPYRA. With SPYRA, we are introducing an accessible yet high-performance product that reflects our core values of innovation and quality. Our partnership with Instamart is built as a strong, premium brand in India.”

With quick commerce platforms increasingly serving as launchpads for global lifestyle brands, the entry of SPYRA signals how even traditional festivals such as Holi are seeing a premium, tech-driven upgrade, aimed as much at adults as at children.

SPYRA has tied up with Mumbai-based fashion-tech startup head, Founder, Shuchi Sharma of Bella Lifestyle to manage its India operations.

Check Point and ControlPlane Partner to Help Enterprises Securely Scale AI and Accelerate Agentic Innovation

Business Wire India

ControlPlane, a specialist AI Security and DevSecOps consultancy, and Check Point Software Technologies Ltd., a pioneer and global leader in cyber security solutions, today announced a strategic collaboration to help enterprises securely adopt Large Language Models (LLMs) and agentic AI systems at scale.

 

The partnership delivers a comprehensive, regulator-ready security framework designed to reduce risk, protect sensitive data, and enable organizations to move confidently from AI experimentation to production deployment. By combining Check Point’s AI-native threat prevention platform with ControlPlane’s deep expertise in cloud native architectures and DevSecOps, enterprises can operationalize AI securely without slowing innovation.

 

As organizations advance AI initiatives beyond pilots, they face a growing “AI readiness gap.” Emerging threats such as prompt injection, unauthorized access, data leakage, and model misuse introduce risks that traditional security controls were not built to handle. According to the World Economic Forum, 87% of security leaders now identify AI-related vulnerabilities as the fastest-growing cyber risk—underscoring the urgency for purpose-built AI security.

 

ControlPlane has already deployed Check Point’s AI security platform within a highly regulated financial services environment, protecting AI workloads processing more than three million prompts per day. Leveraging Check Point’s platform as the security foundation, ControlPlane enabled the organization to meet strict regulatory, governance, and data protection requirements—while maintaining development velocity and supporting responsible AI adoption. The result was scalable, production-grade guardrails that protect both sensitive data and corporate reputation.

 

“Agentic AI systems must be secured by design and protected throughout their entire lifecycle—not retrofitted after incidents occur,” said Andrew Martin, Founder and CEO of ControlPlane. “AI workloads are overwhelmingly deployed on Kubernetes, and our team brings unmatched expertise in securing these environments. Through this partnership, enterprises can accelerate AI delivery with confidence, knowing security is embedded from day one rather than acting as a constraint.”

 

“Enterprises are embracing AI to drive productivity, automate decisions, and transform operations, but this adoption is expanding the attack surface at an unprecedented pace,” said David Haber, VP of AI Agent Security at Check Point Software. “Together with ControlPlane, we help organizations operationalize AI securely across cloud native environments. Check Point’s AI-native platform protects every phase of the AI lifecycle—from training and inference to agentic orchestration—so customers can innovate faster while maintaining strong security, compliance, and governance.”

In addition, the CIBIL Score Simulator feature in the app will help customers simulate different credit scenarios, such as opening or closing loan accounts and credit cards, late payments, clearance of credit card dues, and new enquiries, among others, to assess and understand the implications for their CIBIL Score.

 

The integration of the CIBIL Score and related features on the YONO app places credit awareness at the centre of everyday banking, enabling consumers to make more informed financial decisions through easy access to credit insights.

 

Launched in December 2025, YONO’s updated version is State Bank of India’s integrated digital banking all-in-one super app that brings banking, shopping, insurance, investment, bookings and everyday services onto a single interface. It works seamlessly across devices, offering a personalised experience and spending analytics to help customers meet a wide range of financial and lifestyle needs through a secure, smart and intuitive digital experience.

The integration keeps consumer ease and convenience at its core, thereby improving transparency, encouraging responsible credit behaviour, and giving consumers a secure and familiar way to access their credit information.

 

Commenting on the partnership, Bhavesh Jain, MD and CEO, TransUnion CIBIL, said, “A strong and resilient credit ecosystem is built on transparency, timely access to information and responsible credit behaviour. Our integration into State Bank of India’s YONO app is focused on making credit awareness simple, accessible, and part of everyday banking. By empowering its customers to check and track their CIBIL Score and Report, we are helping consumers take greater ownership of their credit health. When credit information is available within a trusted banking platform, it becomes a practical tool for learning, planning, and making better financial decisions. This integration is an important step towards strengthening financial literacy and credit awareness at scale, and it supports the development of a more informed, inclusive, and sustainable credit ecosystem in India, in keeping with our purpose of driving ‘Information for Good.”

 

Rajeev Ranjan Prasad, CGM – Digital Banking and Transformation – Consumer, State Bank of India, said, “As digital banking continues to expand across India, building trust, transparency, and financial awareness remains a key priority. Through its collaboration with TransUnion CIBIL, YONO makes credit information more accessible and easier to understand, empowering customers with greater visibility into their credit health. By integrating CIBIL score access within the YONO platform, SBI enables customers to make more informed credit and borrowing decisions, supporting a transparent, responsible, and resilient credit ecosystem in the country.”

Positioned as a landmark convergence, the Expo culminated six strategic pre-summits hosted across the country into one unified national summit held on the 17th, bringing together corporate leaders, policymakers, CSR heads, innovators, and development practitioners to translate AI ambition into measurable, deployment-ready impact at scale.

Hosted from 16th to 20th February 2026 at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi, the Expo emerged as a strategic convergence point for government leaders, corporate leaders, policymakers, CSR heads, innovators, development practitioners, and social enterprises. Over 5,000 visitors engaged with live deployments, structured demonstrations, and high-level dialogues focused on transforming AI from a conceptual opportunity into a measurable development instrument.

A key moment during the Expo was the visit of Sh. Vijay Sharma Ji, Deputy Chief Minister of Chhattisgarh, who interacted with innovators and ecosystem leaders at the pavilion.

Each participating institution demonstrated real-world AI applications already embedded within operational environments. The emphasis remained firmly on deployment maturity, measurable outcomes, and scalability, signalling a transition from pilot-led experimentation to structured, outcome-driven implementation models.

Beyond the Expo floor, CSRBOX curated strategic knowledge sessions to deepen institutional understanding of AI readiness. On 17th February 2026, the India Future Skills and AI Collaborative Roundtable titled “Bridging the Global AI Divide – From Principles to Practice” convened senior leaders including Kumar Anurag Pratap of Capgemini India, Antara Lahiri of Micron, Hemant Lohiya of Redington Foundation, Parminder Singh of Kyndryl, Pratima Harite of Lenovo, Shipra Sharma of IBM, and Bhomik Shah, Founder & CEO of CSRBOX Group. The roundtable focused on institutional AI readiness, workforce transformation, gender inclusion within AI careers, and the need to move beyond training frameworks toward credible deployment ecosystems.

AI for Better Bharat® aligns with CSRBOX Group’s broader strategic commitment to strengthening India’s Purpose Economy, where policy, capital, technology, and development converge to generate measurable social returns. By anchoring this initiative within the Global India AI Impact Summit 2026, CSRBOX reinforced that AI must not remain confined to innovation labs or boardroom strategies; it must be deployed within institutions, embedded in systems, and aligned with national development priorities. The Expo demonstrated that when AI is responsibly designed, ethically governed, and operationally implemented, it becomes a powerful lever for access, efficiency, equity, and long-term systemic transformation across India’s development landscape.

CSRBOX Group is strategically positioned at the intersection of corporate social responsibility, public systems strengthening, and technology-enabled development, enabling institutions to design and implement scalable, data-driven, and outcome-oriented social investments.
