Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], June 16: Highbar Technocrat Limited, one of the leading technology solutions providers for the Engineering, Construction & Operations (EC&O), EPC, Infrastructure, and Real Estate industries, has marked a significant phase of momentum with a wave of new project kick-offs, successful client go-lives, and the execution of its flagship SAP Connect Day events across three major Indian cities. Collectively, these milestones reinforce the company’s standing as a specialised, domain-led SAP partner purpose-built for the infrastructure ecosystem.

As a certified SAP Gold Partner with roots in the legacy of Hindustan Construction Company (HCC), Highbar Technocrat brings deep sector understanding to large-scale, complex projects. Its consulting-led approach to SAP implementation, upgrades, support, and analytics continues to position the company as a digital transformation partner of choice for organisations seeking to modernise operations and improve project delivery.

A Strong Pipeline of New Project Kick-Offs

Highbar Technocrat has officially commenced implementation on a notable set of new engagements, signalling sustained demand for specialised SAP solutions within the infrastructure and real estate value chain. The newly kicked-off projects span a diverse mix of construction, infrastructure, mobility, and real estate organisations, underscoring the breadth of the company’s industry footprint.

The newly kicked-off engagements span multiple verticals within the broader infrastructure and real estate landscape, with clients spread across major commercial hubs in India:

Real Estate

  • Shalimar Corp – Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
  • JSW Realty – Mumbai, Maharashtra

Water & Infrastructure

  • Om Infra Ltd. – New Delhi
  • APCO Infratech – Lucknow, Uttar Pradesh
  • MRM Infrastructures – Jalna, Maharashtra

Riviera Infraprojects – Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Industrial Structures / Pre-Engineered Buildings (PEB)

  • Smith Structures (India) Pvt. Ltd. – Ahmedabad, Gujarat

Electric Mobility

  • Transvolt Mobility – Mumbai, Maharashtra

Each of these projects will leverage Highbar Technocrat’s domain-specific SAP capabilities — ranging from system implementation and integration to process optimisation — tailored to the operational realities of the respective businesses.

This diverse portfolio reflects the company’s ability to serve both established conglomerates and high-growth players across multiple sectors and geographies, delivering scalable, future-ready ERP foundations that support real-time visibility, cost control, and efficient project lifecycle management. Highbar Technocrat’s industry-first approach embeds sector best practices into every implementation, helping clients move from fragmented, manual processes to a unified digital platform.

Successful Go-Lives Translate Strategy into Results

Complementing its expanding pipeline, Highbar Technocrat has successfully taken three key clients live across the real estate and infrastructure segments, marking the transition from implementation to measurable operational value:

Real Estate

  • MSN Realty – Hyderabad, Telangana
  • Alembic Real Estate – Vadodara, Gujarat

Infrastructure / Industrial Engineering

  • JCL Infra -Meerut, Uttar Pradesh

These go-lives reflect a core principle of Highbar Technocrat’s delivery philosophy — a commitment that extends well beyond technical implementation to ensure stable, sustained adoption. By aligning systems closely with the way each organisation actually operates, the company helps clients unlock efficiency gains, improve decision-making through real-time data, and establish a strong platform for future growth.

A successful go-live is often the true test of an implementation partner, marking the moment when new systems must perform under the demands of day-to-day operations. Highbar Technocrat’s continued focus on post-go-live support, fine-tuning, and governance is designed to minimise disruption and accelerate the return on a client’s SAP investment. The successful transitions of MSN Realty, Alembic Real Estate, and JCL Infra add to a growing track record of organisations that have moved confidently into a new phase of digital maturity with the company’s support.

SAP Connect Day: Flagship Events Across Three Cities

In a demonstration of its thought leadership and close collaboration with SAP, Highbar Technocrat recently executed a series of flagship industry events under the banner of SAP Connect Day, hosted in partnership with SAP. Held across Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad, the events brought together industry leaders, decision-makers, and technology practitioners from the infrastructure, EPC, and real estate sectors.

The SAP Connect Day series served as a platform to explore how digital transformation, powered by SAP, can address the unique challenges of project-driven industries — from cost estimation and regulatory compliance to resource planning and operational excellence. By taking the conversation to three key regional hubs, Highbar Technocrat and SAP engaged a wide cross-section of organisations seeking to accelerate their own modernisation journeys.

Hosting the series across Mumbai, Ahmedabad, and Hyderabad allowed Highbar Technocrat to reach decision-makers in distinct regional markets, each with its own concentration of infrastructure and real estate activity. The format combined expert perspectives, solution showcases, and peer dialogue, giving attendees practical insight into how SAP-led transformation can be applied to their specific operational contexts. The partnership with SAP further underscores Highbar Technocrat’s standing as a trusted, certified collaborator capable of bringing the full strength of the SAP ecosystem to bear for the EC&O sector.

Strengthening Industry Engagement at ET RECA, Mumbai

Furthering its engagement with the real estate and construction community, Highbar Technocrat also participated in ET RECA, held in Mumbai in partnership with ET Realty. The event provided an influential forum to connect with senior stakeholders across the real estate and infrastructure landscape, reinforcing the company’s visibility and credibility within the sector.

Powering the Next Wave: AI-Ready Solutions for Construction, Real Estate, and Mall Management

Alongside its expanding implementation footprint, Highbar Technocrat continues to invest in next-generation capabilities designed for the future of project-driven and asset-intensive industries. Highbar’s AI-ready insights for Construction, Real Estate, and Mall Management empower organizations with smarter operations through automation, real-time graphical insights, market trend analysis, predictive analytics, and enhanced decision-making enabled by intelligent chatbots.

The platform is designed to provide intelligent recommendations based on an organization’s current performance, broader market trends, and competitor benchmarks. This helps businesses move beyond reactive, manual processes and adopt a proactive, data-driven approach to operations. By embedding intelligence into the core operating systems of construction firms, real estate developers, and mall operators, Highbar Technocrat enables its customers to unlock greater value from every project, every asset, and every customer interaction.

Building Momentum for the Road Ahead

Taken together, the new project kick-offs, successful go-lives, and high-impact industry events illustrate a period of strong momentum for Highbar Technocrat. With over a decade of specialised expertise and an exclusive focus on the EPC, infrastructure, and real estate sectors, the company remains committed to delivering SAP-powered digital transformations that help its clients build smarter, more responsive, and future-ready enterprises.

New York / Los Angeles [US], April 27: Knight Riders Sports, owners of cricket franchises across four continents and one of the sport’s most recognised global brands, has partnered with CricMax Connect as the Official Cricket Development Partner of the Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR). The partnership, announced today by LAKR and CricMax Connect, will establish a national network of Knight Riders Cricket Academies to develop youth cricket across the United States.

While over $300 million has been invested in professional cricket infrastructure in the United States through Major League Cricket (MLC), it is equally important to build programs that create a feeder system for various leagues and encourage youngsters to take up the sport.

As the American audience grows rapidly for Cricket, among the 5.4 million-strong South Asian diaspora and beyond, this partnership is designed to bridge that gap by combining Knight Riders Sports’ globally proven franchise model with CricMax Connect’s decade-long track record in community cricket development, its established network of academies and township partnerships, and its exclusive role as the cricket partner of the PlayLA Olympic youth initiative.

This partnership further strengthens CricMax Connect’s position as a key growth engine for cricket in the United States ahead of the sport’s return to the Olympic stage at LA28.

As part of their long-term vision for cricket in the United States, the Los Angeles Knight Riders have unveiled the Knight Riders Cricket Grounds at Fairplex in Pomona, Los Angeles County, CA, as their official home venue for the 2026 season.

The venue is set to host key major cricket matches this season, marking an important step in establishing a dedicated cricketing base in Southern California. Beyond matchdays, this facility reflects the Knight Riders’ continued investment in building Los Angeles into a leading cricket destination in the United States while also supporting both professional competition and the growth of cricket at a grassroots level.

Under the agreement, the two organisations will jointly build Knight Riders Cricket Academies nationwide, supported by professional coaching programs, masterclass clinics, and talent exhibition pathways that provide young cricketers with direct exposure to best practices in the sport. CricMax Connect’s proprietary technology platform, Quixera, will power talent identification and scouting across the network.

Mr. Venky Mysore, CEO, Knight Riders Sports, said: “This partnership with CricMax Connect is a strategic step towards building a strong grassroots foundation for cricket in the United States. By combining our global ecosystem with their community-led expertise, we are creating a clear pathway from youth development to the professional game. As the sport grows in the United States, our focus is on nurturing talent, strengthening the ecosystem, and ensuring long-term, sustainable growth for cricket in America.”

“We’ve spent over a decade building cricket from the ground up in American communities, coaching youth, partnering with townships, and earning our place as the exclusive cricket partner of PlayLA and the LA28 Olympics,” said Vinay Bhimjani, CEO of CricMax Connect and former CEO of USA Cricket. “The partnership with Knight Riders’ and its global platform will enable us to bring our scouting expertise and technology infrastructure together with their franchise reach to deliver what American cricket has been missing: a complete ecosystem that develops talent at the grassroots and connects it to the professional game.”

About the Knight Riders

The Knight Riders brand is a global brand in International Cricket, with nine trophies to its name and four professional franchises under its wings – Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the TATA IPL, Trinbago Knight Riders (TKR) in the Caribbean Premier League, Abu Dhabi Knight Riders (ADKR) in UAE’s International League T20 and Los Angeles Knight Riders (LAKR) in USA’s Major League Cricket, making it one of the most versatile brands in T20 cricket globally.

KKR has appeared in four TATA IPL finals, winning the championship three times (2012, 2014, 2024). They finished runners-up in the 2021 season, staging one of the most remarkable comebacks in the tournament’s history. TKR’s Men’s Team has won the CPL championship 5 times in 11 years since the Knight Riders took over the franchise. They are the most successful team in the Caribbean and hold the unique distinction of having won the trophy in 2020 without losing a single game in the tournament. TKR Women, the Knight Riders’ first-ever Women’s Team, were champions of the inaugural WCPL in 2022.

For many years now, the Knight Riders Academy has been actively scouting talented cricketers from across India and around the world. The sole objective of the Academy is to identify and help cricketers make an overall round-the-year improvement in their cricketing skills and fitness.
