Despite a slow start a year ago, Singapore-based anti-virus developer Rudra
Security has now enhanced its business in the market. The company has tied-up
with partners for promoting its products. It has proposed to appoint a
distributor in every state, and taking a step forward in this direction, it has
appointed Mahavir Computers for Chennai.

Said to be developed without any signatures and the thumb impressions of the
existing viruses, this anti-virus is said to prevent any executable files that
harms the system at the very entry level. "This works on a different technology
and prevents any harmful data from entering," informed VHS Satya Kiran,
Manager-Sales, Rudra Security Technologies.

Rudra anti-virus needs no regular updations and renewal of yearly license
keys. "This is a lifetime product, and once installed, it doesn't require any
updation or renewal of license keys. Moreover, the resources used in this
anti-virus are very light such that it just takes less than 40 seconds to scan a
computer," Kiran claimed.

Recently the company has appointed a distributor in Delhi. Currently, Rudra
Technologies operates by keeping Chennai as their base and has their operational
offices in Singapore, Malaysia and Sri Lanka. "We are in the process of
appointing distributor for every state and they in turn would be appointing
various dealers in their respective states," Kiran informed.

Priced at Rs 2,195, this anti-virus prevents viruses, worms, spywares,
trojans, ransomwares, zombie­wares etc, and provide dealers a very good margin.
Accepting the fact that this lifetime anti-virus pack will not provide regular
revenues to the vendors as in the other cases, Kiran informed that currently
they are focusing on the volumes and could match the revenue through the volumes
they make. They have planned to coduct various roadshows and promotional events
soon for creating awareness among the people.

It may be noted that Mahavir is talking up the distribution of software for
the first time since its inception in 1988. "Primarily we take up the
distribution of only special products. We found this anti-virus an exciting one,
hence we have taken up its distribution for the Chennai region. We plan to take
it forward throughout Tamil Nadu," said MC Jain, CEO, Mahavir Computer Spares.
