The company is deepening investments in its partner ecosystem to unlock new enterprise opportunities in AI-powered low-code across the region.
SINGAPORE, Sept. 4, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- OutSystems, a leading AI-powered low-code development platform, today announced the appointment of Muralee Kanagaratnam (MK) as Regional Vice President, Partners & Alliances for Asia-Pacific (APAC). In his role, Muralee will champion the company's ecosystem-driven growth and partner strategy, with a focus on accelerating adoption of its AI-powered low-code platform across key markets, including Southeast Asia, Australia and New Zealand, India, Japan, and Greater China.
This appointment comes as OutSystems accelerates its expansion across APAC, fuelled by surging enterprise demand for AI-powered low-code and agentic AI to power business transformation with mission-critical applications, agents, and core systems. Strategic partnerships are central to this growth, enabling OutSystems to scale innovation and extend its reach across diverse industries. Recent milestones include the appointment of a Regional Vice President for India to strengthen its presence in one of the world's fastest-growing digital economies, and the launch of operations in South Korea in September 2024, with a dedicated Country Manager to build deeper customer and partner relationships.
Drawing on over two decades of deep experience building robust partner networks and working with cloud leaders at Amazon Web Services (AWS), Schneider Electric, and Adobe, Muralee will drive collaboration with Global Systems Integrators (GSIs), consulting partners, and Systems Integrators across enterprise and public sectors, while advancing strategic technology alliances with established cloud providers.
"We are at an inflection point in how enterprises across APAC harness AI and low-code. The synergy of both technologies is democratising transformation, giving organisations a faster, more agile, and secure way to build the systems and agents that will forge the next generation of business," said Muralee Kanagaratnam, Regional Vice President, Partners & Alliances APAC, OutSystems. "Having spent years at AWS building partner ecosystems spanning key APAC markets, I see extraordinary potential for OutSystems to help every enterprise move toward an agentic future. The energy and feedback from our recent Partner Summit reinforced this – customers need platforms that deliver rapid innovation with enterprise-grade control. Together with our partners, we have an enormous opportunity to propel this shift and drive meaningful outcomes for customers across the region."
Muralee led the OutSystems APAC Partner Summit 2025, where the company brought together its robust partner community to chart the next phase of growth and customer innovation in the region. OutSystems is recognised as a Leader in the IDC MarketScape: Worldwide Low-Code and No-Code Developer Technologies 2025 Vendor Assessment, and has also been named a Leader in the Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for Enterprise Low-Code Application Platforms for the ninth consecutive year.
"We are excited to welcome Muralee to the OutSystems APAC leadership team. Strong partnerships are the foundation of creating lasting business impact, and in APAC, we are committed to building the most capable ecosystem in our industry," said Mark Weaser, Vice President of APAC, OutSystems. "Muralee's extensive track record in cultivating and scaling partnerships gives him a unique vantage point to steer our growth within the region's dynamic economies. As APAC organisations increasingly embrace AI-powered low-code on their path to becoming agentic enterprises, his leadership will be pivotal in empowering partners and customers to modernise core systems, speed up the delivery of mission-critical applications, and do so with the governance and security demanded in today's digital landscape."
In July 2025, the company expanded its agentic AI portfolio with the Early Access Program for OutSystems Agent Workbench.

All On-site Profits Donated to Fund Tai Po Fire Recovery Efforts
HONG KONG, Jan. 16, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Tam Jai International Co. Limited ("TJI") has concluded its debut as the official partner of Clockenflap 2025, uniting its three renowned rice noodle brands – TamJai Yunnan Mixian, TamJai SamGor Mixian and the international brand TamJai Mixian – for the first time. The collaboration brought the "Made in Hong Kong, Made to Move" spirit to the Central Harbourfront. In light of the recent tragedy in Tai Po, TJI remained guided by its genuine "Passion to Serve", pledging all on-site profits from the festival to the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals to fund recovery efforts and support for residents in need.
Throughout the weekend, the trio brands welcomed music fans on a culinary journey that embodied the brands' dedication to the city. The activation served as a global stage to showcase TamJai and SamGor's Hong Kong-born legacy while demonstrating how TamJai Mixian unifies the best of both brands for international expansion.
- "Made in Hong Kong" was highlighted to celebrate bold flavours, distinctive style and a lively dining vibe, all originated in Hong Kong and brought to life through Tam Jai's craftsmanship, signature soups and the iconic 10 spice levels honed over the years.
- "Made to Move" symbolised the relentless drive to innovate, expand into new markets and champion noodle culture on the global stage, sharing the unique "Tam Jai Taste" with the world.
Music fans immersed themselves in rhythm and delight to taste buds at the "TamJai Avenue", a dedicated zone decked in signature TamJai green and SamGor red to create a space that felt both nostalgic and fresh. Every corner was infused with the identities of the three brands, allowing visitors to explore installations that blended rice noodle heritage with Hong Kong culture.
Mr Daren Lau, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of TJI, reflected on the event, "'Bringing the unique Tam Jai Taste to the world' has never been merely a statement, but a commitment and vision that we have built step by step throughout the years. From our deep origins in this vibrant city, we have cultivated three iconic brands – 'TamJai Yunnan Mixian', 'TamJai SamGor Mixian' and 'TamJai Mixian'. Their debut on a united front at Clockenflap symbolises an important step in our journey to present Hong Kong's spirit on a global stage, sharing our beloved 'Tam Jai Taste' with music enthusiasts across the globe."
"Music has the power to connect, heal and uplift, especially in challenging times. With deep love for the families affected by the tragic Tai Po fire, TJI donates all profits from Clockenflap 2025 to support the emergency needs and recovery efforts of the community. This reflects our 'Passion to Serve' brand DNA, bringing warmth, care and hope to the communities we proudly call home."
A Culinary Recap: The Taste of Hong Kong
Festival-goers gathered at "The Taste of Hong Kong" dining area to experience an East-meets-West menu created exclusively for the event.
While fans enjoyed reimagined classics like the Mini Mixian with Pork Belly in Mala Soup, the standout items of the weekend included the innovative "Minced Pork and Homemade Pickle" series. The Minced Pork and Homemade Pickles Mini Burger and the fusion-style Avocado in Garlic and Chilli Sauce were among the most popular choices, demonstrating how authentic mixian ingredients can be transformed into shareable festival snacks.
Local Craftsmanship: Spiced Mixology
The "Spiced Mixology" Bar, a partnership with local craft distiller Perfume Trees Gin, offered cocktails that captured the essence of Hong Kong. With unique and distinctive flavours, both drinks sold out quickly on each event day and became one of the most sought-after highlights of the music festival.
- Spicy Banger (Left): A crisp gin base sharpened by SamGor's signature spice, lychee and lemongrass, finished with a facing heaven chilli.
- Gin'ger (Right): A refreshing mix of TamJai's soup essence, whiskey and gin, balanced with warming ginger and a crisp cucumber garnish.
Interactive Highlights: Engaging with the Brand
Beyond the culinary offerings, "TamJai Avenue" provided immersive cultural experiences. The "Make Your Own Bowl" workshop saw hundreds of fans creating customised phone straps featuring ingredient-shaped charms. Meanwhile, the "Spicy Soup Master" activation invited participants to roll a giant dice, with those braving the "Extremely Spicy" level receiving exclusive memorabilia. The "Bring TamJai Home" collection, featuring "Tastebud Troopers" plush toys and "Spicy Monster Gang" figurines, also proved to be a popular memento of the festival.
Looking Ahead: A Milestone Year in 2026
Following the conclusion of Clockenflap, TJI is looking towards a significant year ahead. 2026 marks the 30th Anniversary of TamJai Yunnan Mixian, a milestone celebrating three decades of serving Hong Kong.
