Recognition validates atQor's ability to unite Cloud & AI Platforms, AI Business Solutions, and Security capabilities as the company expands customer-facing and delivery operations across manufacturing and apparel, financial services, retail, healthcare, energy, and public sector.  AHMEDABAD, INDIA; SANTA FE SPRINGS, CALIFORNIA and MISSISSAUGA, ONTARIO;;— July 23, 2026 — atQor, a Microsoft-focused AI and data platform company, today announced it has achieved Microsoft Frontier Partner status, within the Microsoft AI Cloud Partner Program. Introduced by Microsoft at Ignite 2025 and formalized as a specialization in April 2026, the designation recognizes partners leading AI transformation through an AI-first, human-led approach that combines AI agents with human oversight, reflecting advanced capability across Microsoft's three strategic solution areas: Cloud & AI Platforms, AI Business Solutions, and Security.  The qualification model is cross-disciplinary. Partners must hold Solutions Partner designations spanning Business Applications or Modern Work, a Cloud & AI Platform-aligned designation, and Security, together with specializations in Microsoft Copilot, Data Security, and a qualifying AI application, AI platform, or developer-productivity discipline.  atQor earned Frontier Partner status within a broader Microsoft credential portfolio. The company holds all six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, the Support Services designation, Azure Expert Managed Service Provider status, and Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner recognition, along with ten Advanced Specializations spanning Microsoft Copilot, AI Platform and Analytics, Data and Cloud Security, Identity and Access Management, Threat Protection, Endpoint Modernization, Infrastructure and Database Migration, and Azure Virtual Desktop.  Frontier Partner recognition is administered through Microsoft's regional subsidiaries, working directly with nominated partner organizations in each market. atQor's nomination and technical validation were led by Microsoft India, and the resulting designation carries global recognition, applying equally across atQor's operations in Canada, the United States, and India.  “Our engineers do not wait for a mandate to use AI, they build with it every day, and that is what Microsoft recognized,” said Pushkaraj Kale, CEO of atQor India. “Earlier this year, our teams across Ahmedabad, Mumbai, the National Capital Region, and Bengaluru built and deployed more than two hundred production AI agents in a single seventy-two-hour engineering event, and twenty-five of those are now live on Microsoft Marketplace. This nomination was led by Microsoft India, and the distinction now carries across every market we serve. It reflects the same discipline our customers see in manufacturing, financial services, retail, healthcare, and public sector work every day.”    “The Frontier Partner designation recognises organisations that are helping customers move beyond AI experimentation and into business transformation. atQor has consistently invested across Microsoft's AI, data, cloud, and security stack while building the go-to-market and delivery capabilities required to create measurable customer outcomes. We are pleased to see atQor join this distinguished group of partners and look forward to their continued contribution to AI adoption across industries,” said Om Batra, Channel Partner Sales Leader, India and South Asia, Microsoft.    “The most successful AI partners are those that can bridge innovation with operational excellence. atQor has built competencies spanning Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI, Security, and Copilot while maintaining a strong focus on delivery quality and governance. Their Frontier Partner recognition reflects the technical maturity and execution capability needed to help customers scale AI with confidence,” said Sanjeev Sharma, Director Tech Sales and Partner CTO, India and South Asia, Microsoft.    Helping Customers Move from AI Experimentation to Governed Business Outcomes  Enterprise AI requires more than a model or a standalone assistant. It depends on trusted and accessible data, secure identities, governed information, integration with business processes, human oversight, organizational adoption, and an operating model that continues after the initial deployment. atQor brings these disciplines together using Microsoft Fabric, Azure AI, Microsoft Copilot and Copilot Studio, Power Platform, Dynamics 365, Microsoft Purview, and Microsoft Security, supporting customers across the full lifecycle, from strategy and data readiness through engineering, deployment, adoption, governance, and ongoing managed operations.  The difference for customers is fewer handoffs. One firm carries the work from the first Fabric workshop through the AI agent in production and the security review that follows it, instead of a customer coordinating three or four vendors to get there.  That gives customers a single Microsoft-specialized partner for:  Data and AI readiness  AI application and agent engineering  Business-process automation  Security, compliance, and responsible AI  Cloud and application modernization  Adoption and organizational change  Ongoing cloud, security, and AI managed services    An Integrated Three-Geography Operating Model  The Frontier recognition comes as atQor strengthens customer engagement, Microsoft alignment, and delivery capability across all three of its core markets.  In the United States, atQor continues to expand enterprise, public-sector, and managed-services engagement, supported by Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider capabilities, Azure Expert MSP operations, and CSP Direct authorization for Azure Government Cloud and Government Community Cloud.  In Canada, the company is investing in local executive leadership and enterprise customer engagement under Founder Kartik Shah and Global COO Greg Kachhadiya, with a particular focus on financial services, regulated industries, data governance, and secure cloud modernization.  In India, atQor continues to deepen its Microsoft engineering, solution-development, and delivery capabilities across data and AI, cloud, security, business applications, and managed services under CEO Pushkaraj Kale. India carries the largest share of atQor's engineering work, and is also where the company develops its repeatable accelerators and Microsoft Marketplace offerings.  Canada and the United States lead customer relationships, solution architecture, and account strategy close to home. Together with India's engineering depth, that gives customers one methodology and one governance framework regardless of which office leads their engagement.  “This recognition belongs to the whole company,” said Kartik Shah, Founder of atQor. “Pushkaraj and the India team led the work that earned it, and our Canada and U.S. teams, led by Co-Founder and Global COO Greg Kachhadiya, hold themselves to that same standard. India is a key market for us, and we will continue to invest in and grow the AI vision of India and Indian businesses.”  Converting Delivery Experience into Reusable Solutions  Beyond project delivery, atQor is converting customer engagements and its internal Customer Zero experience into reusable intellectual property, packaged services, and industry playbooks. Earlier this year, atQor's engineering teams built and deployed more than two hundred production AI agents in a single seventy-two-hour engineering event, twenty-five of which are now published on Microsoft AppSource.  atQor's Microsoft Marketplace portfolio is growing quickly, and now spans AI agents, industry accelerators, and professional services addressing:  IT support and cloud operations  Identity governance and access request automation  Microsoft Purview policy and compliance workflows  Security assessments and managed Azure services  Microsoft Fabric and data modernization  Knowledge retrieval and employee productivity  atQor is applying these capabilities today across regulated financial services, manufacturing and apparel, retail, healthcare and life sciences, energy, and public sector organizations. That work includes modernizing data estates on Microsoft Fabric, building AI agents for document review and compliance, automating business processes end to end, and standing up governed knowledge assistants that hold up under a security review.  The relationship typically does not end at go-live. Much of atQor's work with these customers continues through managed Azure operations, ongoing security monitoring, and continued tuning and support of the AI agents once they are in production.  Continuing Investment in the Microsoft Frontier Ecosystem  Microsoft has stated that the Frontier Badge is evolving into a Frontier Partner specialization for services, channel, and software partners that demonstrate the ability to build or deliver agents across Microsoft's Frontier product stack, alongside a companion Frontier Engineer Badge delivered through Microsoft's Titan Academy. atQor is already investing against this evolving standard, including agent development, production engineering, governance, security, Microsoft Marketplace execution, and full-lifecycle AI operations.  Most enterprises have already proven that an AI pilot can work. The harder problem is turning that pilot into something IT, security, and the business are all willing to run in production. atQor has already done that internally, and has helped customers across financial services, manufacturing, retail, healthcare, and public sector make the same move, from a pilot that works to a system their own organization trusts in production.  atQor's Frontier Partner status is effective immediately and applies to its Canadian, US, as well as its India operations.  About atQor  atQor is a Microsoft-focused AI and data platform company. It combines agent engineering, Microsoft Fabric-based data architecture, and a governed delivery methodology with consulting, engineering, and managed services execution, helping enterprises move AI from pilot to production and convert cloud, data, AI, security, and business applications investment into measurable business outcomes. Founded in 2002, the company operates through an integrated presence across Canada, the United States, and India, serving enterprise, midmarket, and public-sector customers. atQor holds all six Microsoft Solutions Partner designations, the Support Services designation, Azure Expert MSP status, Microsoft Fabric Featured Partner recognition, and ten Advanced Specializations. The company is a Microsoft Cloud Solution Provider with direct-bill capability across multiple markets, including CSP Direct authorization for U.S. Azure Government Cloud and Government Community Cloud. atQor maintains ISO 9001, ISO 20000, and ISO 27001 certifications across its Canada, United States, and India operations, with additional ISO 22301 Business Continuity Management System certification for its India operations.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat, INDIA – Joining forces with atQor and Microsoft has made Arvind Ltd’s fabric sampling process a thing of the past, revolutionizing this part of business strategy in the almost 100-year-old textile giant. Managing the many samples of fabrics belonging to the established firm with profits exceeding one billion dollars proved quite an uphill task for Arvind Ltd, which was established in 1931. This required the application of new technologies to the old methods that were tedious and prone to errors.   atQor, a leading entity for digital transformation, and Microsoft had collaborated to bring about the introduction of Microsoft’s Power Apps. This solution greatly improved the operational efficiencies of Arvind, thereby increasing its customer satisfaction.   Nitin Parmar, the Chief Information Officer at Arvind, pointed out their main problem, “managing our fabric samples efficiently had been difficult for us, going on to say that “the manual procedures were vulnerable to errors as well as loss of data, thus.   When Arvind needed help with an “App in a Day” workshop, atQor came through with a fast and elegant way of accomplishing it using Microsoft’s Power Apps. Kartik Shah, CEO of atQor, says, “Power Apps with its integrated AI capability is enabling smarter decisions, result in faster time, and true digital empowers our client.”   For Arvind, a solution was designed that used QR codes in every sampling order that smoothly merged into their existing CRM systems. The QR-based process did away with past waste. Teams could now read barcodes, view specs in real-time of orders, and monitor an order’s status throughout the process. Therefore, the sampling errors were reduced by up to 90%, the production errors by up to 70%, and the order turnaround time increased by about 30%.   Raju Patni, a marketing manager at Arvind, characterized the product as user-friendly, “easy like using a mobile phone.” This was a major factor in making this solution successful.   However, this is only a transition and not the finish. Arvind is researching other integrations with Power Apps to transform vendor bidding patterns and the buy cotton journey. Looking ahead, there is no limit in terms of potential for Arvind.   The atQor, Microsoft, and Arvind partnerships exemplify how technology can be integrated in today’s changing digital landscape. This shows that these integrations can infuse new vigor in traditional sectors and provide an example for other companies to emulate.   About atQor   atQor is one of the most successful transformation and technology consulting companies with innovative solutions and well-established partnerships.
