New Delhi [India], April 29: Webyne, a rising name in the technology sector, today announced its plans to invest Rs200 crore towards the development and launch of a new affordable cloud services platform. The investment marks a significant move by the company to tap into the rapidly growing demand for accessible and cost-effective cloud solutions among startups, SMEs, and emerging businesses across India and other developing markets.

The new cloud platform is expected to offer scalable compute, storage, and networking services at highly competitive prices, without compromising on performance or security. Webyne aims to bridge the gap between enterprise-grade cloud infrastructure and the needs of budget-conscious customers who seek reliable alternatives to expensive global providers. This solution will assist with both Cloud Server and VPS Server configurations, giving users flexibility based on their specific workload and performance needs.

Speaking on the announcement, Jasmeet Singh, CEO of Webyne, said, Cloud is no longer a luxury it’s a necessity for businesses of all sizes. Our mission is to democratize access to powerful cloud technology and enable innovation at every level. With this Rs200 crore investment, we are building a platform that offers world-class performance, security, and support at prices tailored for the next generation of entrepreneurs and organizations.

The company plans to roll out the service in phases, beginning later this year, with initial data centers strategically located in major Indian cities. Webyne also hinted at expanding its footprint to North America and Africa in the coming years.

In addition to affordability, the platform will focus on simplicity, ensuring that even users without deep technical expertise can deploy and manage cloud resources efficiently. Early access programs and promotional credits are expected to be offered to attract developers and startups during the launch phase.

Analysts say that Webyne’s entry into the affordable cloud space could intensify competition, forcing larger players to rethink their pricing strategies for emerging markets.

With this bold move, Webyne positions itself not just as another cloud provider but as a catalyst for digital transformation among the next billion internet users.

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], April 28: GNC, a global leader in nutritional supplements, through Guardian Healthcare Pvt. Limited (“GNC India”), GNC’s master franchisee in India has launched GNC Pro Performance GNC Creatine + Electrolytes, a next-generation performance supplement tailored to meet the real needs of today’s active individuals.

Ashutosh Taparia, Managing Director & Board Member of Guardian Healthcare Pvt. Ltd., shared:

“In a world where athletes and fitness enthusiasts are constantly challenging their limits, hydration and recovery are no longer optional, they’re essential. Our new Creatine + Electrolytes formula is for those who demand more from their supplements: more hydration, better absorption, and sustained energy. It’s creatine, but smarter.”

Balaji Uppala, CEO of GNC India, added:

“Whether you’re running, lifting, dancing, or sweating it out in any form, your body naturally loses vital electrolytes. Replenishing them is crucial, and that’s where our product stands out. It’s not just creatine, it’s an intelligent blend that aids absorption, restores lost electrolytes, and fuels your body to perform at its best. With zero added sugar and a fully vegetarian formulation, it’s clean, effective, and made for real-world routines.”

Formulated for both elite athletes and everyday movers, GNC Creatine + Electrolytes aids absorption, is easy to mix, and available in four refreshing flavors, Unflavored, Lemon, Orange, and Cola.
