As India builds its digital future, we believe technology must remain approachable, secure, and deeply rooted in local needs and aspirations," said Rahul Takkallapally, Co-Founder, BharathCloud.

"Beyond being just a mascot, the introduction of Badal is an attempt by BharathCloud to build a deeper emotional connection with our customers and reinforce our identity as India’s sovereign AI-cloud service provider. It has become increasingly important in the current scenario where most of the companies operate in a highly competitive landscape dominated by global hyperscalers," said Padma Reddy Sama, co-founder and chief technology officer, BharathCloud.
