As one of the leading contributors to PostgreSQL, EDB is committed to building the next generation of Postgres for operators, developers, data engineers, and AI builders. EDB provides a modern Postgres data platform for transactional, analytical, and new AI workloads powered by an enhanced Postgres engine.

In today’s world of always-on applications and data-driven decision making, performance and reliability are no longer optional—they are essential. ProxySQL is a high-performance, open-source database proxy that helps organizations around the world achieve exactly that. Designed to manage millions of concurrent connections efficiently, and hundreds of backends simultaneously, ProxySQL provides intelligent query routing, caching, query rewrite, load balancing, throttling, failover detection, firewall, and real-time monitoring for mission-critical database environments. Originally developed to solve connection management and scalability challenges in large MySQL infrastructures, ProxySQL has matured into a core building block of modern database platforms. Its proven architecture now extends to PostgreSQL, empowering DBAs and developers to optimize performance, increase fault tolerance, and simplify complex topologies without changing application code. Trusted by some of the world’s largest enterprises (including global banks, cloud service providers, e-commerce leaders, and several Fortune 500 companies) ProxySQL brings unparalleled efficiency, observability, and resilience to demanding production workloads. Its rule-based query engine allows fine-grained control over traffic patterns, enabling smarter resource utilization and faster response times even under heavy load. As a Gold Sponsor of PgConf India 2026, ProxySQL is proud to support the thriving PostgreSQL community. We believe that collaboration and open innovation are key to building the future of data infrastructure. Visit our booth to meet our engineers, experience live demos, and explore how ProxySQL can make your PostgreSQL deployments faster, more reliable, and future-ready.

About IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation IITM Pravartak Technologies Foundation is the Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) established at the Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT Madras) and supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) under the National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS). The foundation focuses on advancing India’s capabilities in Sensors, Networking, Actuators, and Control Systems (SNACS) — core technologies that form the backbone of intelligent and autonomous systems. Pravartak acts as a catalyst for innovation by bridging academia, industry, and government. Its mission is to promote translational research, converting academic knowledge into practical, deployable technologies and products. Through its initiatives, the foundation nurtures startups, drives technology entrepreneurship, and fosters collaboration across sectors. In addition to technology development, IITM Pravartak emphasizes human resource development and capacity building. It offers a range of academic and professional programs — from school-level cybersecurity awareness to advanced training in AI, data science, IoT, and cybersecurity — preparing India’s next generation of innovators and engineers. The foundation’s holistic approach ensures that research outcomes are not confined to laboratories but are transformed into impactful, market-ready solutions. IITM Pravartak’ s ecosystem embodies IIT Madras’s long-standing tradition of innovation and excellence. By supporting deep-tech ventures and fostering an environment of co-creation, it plays a strategic role in shaping India’s digital future while strengthening national technological sovereignty. ShaktiDB – Building India’s customised Postgres Among IITM Pravartak’ s key initiatives is ShaktiDB, an indigenous Relational Database Management System (RDBMS) being developed on the robust foundation of PostgreSQL.  ShaktiDB aims to address India’s dependence on proprietary database systems that dominate critical sectors including banking, defence, and government infrastructure. By building on an open-source core, ShaktiDB combines global standards of reliability and performance with India-specific enhancements in security, regulatory compliance, and data sovereignty. It is engineered to meet the stringent requirements of regulatory bodies such as the RBI and SEBI, while building an entire ecosystem within India by offering domestic support, maintenance, and training through local technology partners. The initiative aligns with India’s broader Atmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India) vision — ensuring that sensitive data infrastructures remain under national control.
