MUMBAI, INDIA - Media OutReach Newswire - 19 August 2026 - SNP SE, a leading provider of software for AI-enabled digital transformation, automated data migration and data management in the SAP environment, announced the appointment of Neeraj Athalye as Managing Director, India. Based in Mumbai, Athalye will be responsible for leading SNP's expansion helping customers build the data foundations for business AI using SNP's Kyano® platform and Bluefield® approach.
SNP appoints Neeraj Athalye as Managing Director for India strengthening its partner‑first and best-data-for business-AI strategy
Athalye brings with him more than 30 years of experience across enterprise software, SAP, cloud technologies and business leadership, having held senior positions at SAP, MatrixOne (Dassault Systèmes), Honda, John Deere, SUSE and, most recently, Icertis. His track record in building partner ecosystems, scaling high‑growth businesses, and driving customer‑centric innovation positions him perfectly to lead SNP's next phase of expansion in India.
The appointment comes as SNP expands its presence in Asia Pacific and continues to invest in AI-enabled capabilities for SAP transformations. At its annual flagship event "Transformation World" in Heidelberg, Germany, in July, SNP introduced new capabilities for its Kyano platform to customers, partners and experts from across the global SAP ecosystem. Kyano brings together software for data management, migration and continuous assessment of SAP landscapes, supporting organizations throughout their SAP transformation journey. The platform also supports migrations from different ERP source systems and integrates partner capabilities through its ecosystem and Marketplace.
Among the new capabilities is Kyano Lorna, an Agentic AI Layer that draws on more than 30 years of SNP's data transformation expertise to provide real-time insights and project-specific recommendations. Embedded directly into transformation projects it helps customers execute transformations faster while maintaining the highest levels of accuracy, reliability and compliance. Kyano Oros extends the platform to unstructured data which accounts for approximately 80% of enterprise data volumes and has largely remained inaccessible to traditional transformation tools. This provides a critical foundation for preparing enterprise data landscapes for modern AI applications. Together, these capabilities help India's organizations accelerate and simplify SAP transformations while preparing their data for business AI.
India continues to see growing demand for SAP transformation projects, driven by cloud adoption, digital transformation initiatives and increasing investment in AI. This makes the country an important market within SNP's Asia Pacific strategy. Following its partner-first approach, SNP plans to further expand its ecosystem of consulting, hyperscaler and technology partners, combining Kyano with local delivery and industry expertise to support customers throughout their transformation projects and accelerate time-to-value.
Phillip Miltiades, President & Managing Director, Asia Pacific & Japan, SNP Group: "We see significant growth potential in India and across the Asia Pacific region. India represents one of the most exciting opportunities for SNP, with growing demand for solutions that simplify complex SAP transformation programs while minimizing business disruption. Neeraj's experience will help us further expand our market presence and strengthen our partner-first strategy to deliver scalable, software-led transformation outcomes."

HONG KONG SAR – Media OutReach Newswire – 23 October 2026 – Hongkong Land Holdings Limited ("Hongkong Land" or "the Group") today brought together financial, tourism, retail, cultural and F&B sector leaders to celebrate the new Destination CENTRAL campaign. The Honourable Michael Wong, GBS, JP, Deputy Financial Secretary, was Guest of Honour, and Dr the Hon Peter Lam, GBM, GBS, Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board, attended as a Distinguished Guest Speaker.
Front row (from left to right) Ms Jeanne Cheng, District Officer (Central and Western); Hon Grace Chan Man-yee, Legislative Council Member and Chief Executive of The Hong Kong Council of Social Service; Hon Michael Wong Wai-lun, Deputy Financial Secretary of the HKSAR Government; Mr Michael Smith, Group Chief Executive of Hongkong Land; Dr the Hon Peter Lam Kin-ngok, Chairman of the Hong Kong Tourism Board; Hon Vivian Kong Man-wai, Legislative Council Member; and Hon Carmen Kan Wai-mun, Legislative Council Member.

This new initiative aligns with the priorities set out in Hong Kong's first Five-Year Plan, and responds to the Chief Executive's 2026 Policy Address, which recognises Central's role as a major engine of the city's development. As the heart of Hong Kong's financial district, Central is key to Hong Kong's position as a leading international financial centre.
Central has been home to Hongkong Land since 1889 and the Group has continually supported the district's development. Today, the Group's ambition is to
combine long-term investment, place innovation and exceptional hospitality to strengthen Hong Kong's defining district for finance, luxury retail, art, culture and heritage, seven days a week.
This ambition has been brought to life through the Tomorrow's CENTRAL programme, which is delivering more than US$1 billion of investment by Hongkong Land and its tenants to transform LANDMARK. The programme is Hongkong Land's largest investment in Hong Kong for the last two decades and a clear statement of its confidence in the city's future.
Over the last year, Hongkong Land has also worked alongside the Government and the Hong Kong Tourism Board on Halloween in Central, Winter Wonderland and now Destination CENTRAL. These initiatives invite people to discover more of the district, support local businesses and strengthen Hong Kong's appeal as a destination thereby supporting Hong Kong's mega-event economy and its positioning as the events capital of Asia.
Hongkong Land's Destination CENTRAL campaign uses a Central Passport to connect the district's heritage, culture, and dining offerings into a cohesive visitor journey.In partnership with Hong Kong Tramways, Hongkong Land has recreated a first-generation tram and a heritage route tracing Central's transport history.
Michael T. Smith, Group Chief Executive of Hongkong Land, said: "Hongkong Land has helped shape Central for 137 years and our commitment to this district has never been stronger. We are proud to play our part in strengthening Central as a destination where commerce and culture come together, helping sustain this powerful engine for Hong Kong's economic growth and international connectivity."
Graeme Torre, Chief Executive, Hong Kong Central, said: "Central is the ecosystem that underpins Hong Kong as an international financial centre. It is also a district where people shop, dine and spend time, whether they work here, live nearby or are visiting the city. Our Destination CENTRAL campaign is one of the many ways Hongkong Land is continuing to deliver on the renewal of Central."
