Saviynt Recognized In 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ For Privileged Access Management

* Repeated recognition comes as privileged access expands across the full Privilege Spectrum of human, machine and AI identities.

Saviynt today announced that it has been recognized as a Challenger in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Privileged Access Management (PAM), marking the third consecutive year of recognition in the Gartner PAM research. We believe Saviynt’s recognition in 2026 is evidence of its continued investment.

The recognition comes as the definition of privileged access continues to expand. Cloud workloads, automation, non-human identities and AI agents all require elevated access, creating a need for organizations to govern and secure privilege beyond traditional administrator accounts while reducing persistent access.

“Privilege is no longer limited to a defined group of administrators. As AI agents and machine identities become mainstream in enterprises, organizations need to understand the context of why access is needed, how long it should be granted, and who is accountable for it,” said Anirudh Sen, Senior Vice President of Products at Saviynt. “We believe our repeated recognition in the Gartner PAM research reflects our commitment to securing the full Privilege Spectrum through a unified identity security platform that brings identity governance and privileged access together.”

Solving privilege challenges in the AI era requires a new approach with market-leading identity lifecycle management. Saviynt believes that a modern PAM solution must combine identity governance, privilege lifecycle management, lifecycle automation, and time-bound, just-in-time access. A unified platform that brings IGA and PAM together can simplify administration, deliver a more seamless customer experience, and help organizations secure access at the pace of AI adoption.

Built on Zero Trust principles, Saviynt takes a continuous, risk-based approach to privilege management. By advancing Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP), Saviynt helps organizations minimize persistent elevated access and ensure privileges are granted only when justified by context and risk. Its Privilege Spectrum framework enables organizations to apply the right level of access at the right time while maintaining security and productivity.

Tanishq Introduces Adhyantara This Festive Season Across India

* Translating The Infinite Wonder Of The Cosmos Into Extraordinary Jewellery

* Featuring actress Triptii Dimri, the collection finds its muse in the modern Indian woman, translating the celestial beauty of the universe into extraordinary jewellery that celebrates her many facets

Ahead of the auspicious occasion of Dhanteras, Tanishq, India’s largest jewellery retail brand from the House of Tata, unveils Adhyantara, its latest jewellery collection featuring actress Triptii Dimri. Inspired by the boundless beauty and mystery of the cosmos, the collection brings the wonders of the universe closer to the woman who inspires it. From the brilliance of distant stars to the poetry of celestial forms, Adhyantara captures the extraordinary, inviting her to explore a world where imagination knows no bounds.

The universe has always held the promise of wonder — vast, mysterious and filled with stories waiting to be discovered. With Adhyantara, Tanishq reimagines this celestial beauty through the artistry of Indian jewellery craftsmanship, bringing the sun, moon and shooting stars to life in contemporary forms. Sculptural silhouettes, fluid interpretations, and intricate detailing transform familiar elements of the cosmos into expressions of individuality and imagination. At the heart of this universe is the modern Indian woman: deeply rooted in her heritage, yet ever evolving in the way she defines herself. She is both the inspiration and the muse — multifaceted and constantly discovering new dimensions of who she is. With Adhyantara, every creation becomes an invitation to make the extraordinary her own.

The campaign featuring Triptii Dimri brings this vision to life through a luminous visual world where the jewellery and its celestial inspirations come together naturally. Her interpretation of the collection reflects the confidence, individuality and contemporary sensibility of the woman for whom Adhyantara has been created.

With over 100 designs across four categories: Glass Kundan, Plain Jewellery with Stones, Plain Gold and Uncut Diamonds. Spanning necklace sets, bangles, finger rings and mangalsutras, the collection features creations in 18kt and 22kt gold, with designs ranging from 30 to 120 grams. Each piece reflects a meeting of imagination and precision, brought to life through sculptural 3D forms, layered badroom, patented 3D Glass Kundan, hand-carved stones and distinctive enamel techniques. Through intricate layering, dimensional artistry and the interplay of colour, light and texture, traditional craftsmanship takes on a contemporary expression, echoing the depth and radiance of the celestial world.

Adding another dimension to the collection, select creations feature modular designs in versatile 3-in-1, 4-in-1 and 5-in-1 formats, with detachable pendants and separable layers that allow each piece to be styled in multiple ways. Asterism-inspired effects, alongside distinctive gemstones such as fire opals and sunstones, bring unexpected nuances of colour, brilliance and depth to the collection. Each detail reveals a different facet of Adhyantara, offering jewellery that evolves with the wearer and the many ways she chooses to express herself.

Speaking about the launch, Ms. Pelki Tshering, Chief Marketing Officer, Tanishq, said, “Dhanteras is a moment when we celebrate prosperity, optimism and new beginnings, making it a deeply meaningful occasion for Tanishq. With Adhyantara, we wanted to explore the infinite wonder of the universe and bring it closer to the woman who inspires us. To us, she is a universe in herself — multifaceted, ever-evolving and full of dreams waiting to take shape. Our designers have translated the beauty, mystery and radiance of celestial forms into contemporary jewellery, bringing together the richness of Indian craftsmanship and a distinctly modern sensibility. This festive season, Adhyantara is an invitation to look beyond the familiar, embrace the extraordinary and celebrate the joy of wonder”

Adding further, Ms. Garima Maheshwari, Head of Design, Tanishq said, “ Adhyantara offered us the opportunity to explore the universe through a new design lens, drawing inspiration from the mesmerizing movement of celestial forms, the ethereal play of light and the extraordinary intricacies of the cosmos. These celestial wonders find expression in distinctive silhouettes and intricate craftsmanship. Bringing this vision to life demands exceptional precision and artistry, from sculptural forms and layered badroom to patented 3D Glass Kundan, hand-carved stones and distinctive enamel techniques. Each element captures a different facet of the universe, creating a captivating interplay of light, depth and dimension. The result is a collection where imagination meets innovation, and the infinite wonder of the cosmos is reimagined through Tanishq’s masterful craftsmanship in a language that feels both contemporary and timeless.”

With Adhyantara, Tanishq celebrates the festive season through jewellery that brings together celestial inspiration, contemporary design and the enduring artistry of Indian craftsmanship. To further enable festive buying, Tanishq is also offering a flat Rs. 301 off* per gram on gold jewellery, upto 20% off* on making charges of gold jewellery and on diamond value, along with a flat 0% Deduction on exchange of old gold( 18Kt and above) from any jeweller.

Paapori Harsh’s ‘The Jugni Story’ Sells Out In Gurugram, Draws A Full House

* The sold-out show at Epicentre brought audiences to their feet, with music spanning ghazals, folk, Sufi compositions and Bollywood favourites.

Paapori Harsh’s The Jugni Story – The Paapori Harsh Project Live played to a sold-out house at Epicentre, Gurugram, where audiences joined in the music, danced to the livelier numbers and called for encores. For the Bengaluru-based vocalist, the performance was another stop on her 2026 tour, which began in Bengaluru.

The concert brought together shayari, ghazals, Punjabi tappa, Rajasthani folk songs, Sufi compositions and familiar Bollywood melodies. Organised into five chapters, the programme moved through themes of life, relationships, friendship and spirituality, connecting different musical traditions within a common narrative.

The idea of Jugni—a free-spirited observer who finds meaning in the people she encounters and the experiences she gathers—remains central to the production. The performance explored a woman's emotional world, the poignancy of a daughter's bidai, the bonds of friendship and the search for self-discovery.

The five chapters, Jalsa: Of Raags, Roots & a Little Rebellion, Zindagi, Yaman Aur Dosti, The Call of the Divine and Leaving with a Thumka!, gave the evening its progression. Moving from musical heritage and personal relationships to spirituality and celebration, the programme allowed the repertoire to shift between introspective passages and more energetic performances.

The audience response was particularly evident during the livelier numbers, with dancing and repeated calls for encores. The mix of regional folk, poetry and familiar melodies gave the concert a varied musical character, while the chapter-based format kept the focus on the themes running through the evening.

The sold-out Gurugram show adds another chapter to the ongoing journey of The Jugni Story, which began its 2026 tour in Bengaluru. With its combination of poetry, regional musical traditions and popular melodies, the production continues to bring different strands of Indian music together on the live stage
