Digital Marketing Provider BCV is Bought by RateGain
RateGain, a Noida based travel tech company, has acquired US-based digital marketing service provider, BCV in Rs. 175 crores. This is the second buyout of RateGain in the US. RateGain will now introduce guest experience cloud platform through digital marketing services. A senior executive of the company told that it will help to increase the direct sale of the company and will improve guest interaction.
In 2015, RateGain had added $50 million in the business from TA Associates. The company offers services to travel and hospitality firms. Bhanu Chopra, CEO of RateGain, founded the company in 2004, and now the company is working with the world’s largest online travel operators including hotel chains, airlines, cruise lines, and car rentals. According to RateGain, the company has been working with 125,000 hotels across 191 countries and completed 30 million bookings till date.
BCV is the second buyout of RateGain in the US after DHISCO in August 2018. Acquisition of both the companies will now help RateGain provide a single platform to service the broader travel industry by enhancing digital marketing skills. The company, however, did not tell about the size of both the deals, but hinted that the amount shared in the second deal was Rs. 175 crores. It has also pointed out that they are set to do one more buyout at the end of this financial year.
Bhanu Chopra Said, “We are currently evaluating 10-15 potential acquisition opportunities in the US and Europe, and will continue to accelerate our M&A roll-up. We are looking for companies in the revenue management and digital marketing and distribution solutions segments within the travel and hospitality segment. The acquisitions could range from $25-75 million.”

TrueData Solutions LLC Founder Del Andujar Responds to Europe’s Growing Digital Privacy Concerns
For years, internet privacy discussions centered around targeted advertising, browser tracking, and social media data collection. But a new debate is beginning to reshape the cybersecurity industry entirely: identity verification laws.
Across Europe, governments and digital platforms are increasingly introducing systems that require users to verify their identity or age before accessing certain online services. Supporters argue these systems improve online safety and accountability. Critics argue they may also normalize a future where anonymity online becomes increasingly difficult.
That tension is now creating new opportunities — and new responsibilities — for cybersecurity and privacy companies worldwide.
Among the firms responding to this shift is TrueData Solutions LLC, a Wyoming-based cybersecurity company founded in 2025 by Del Andujar. The company recently announced plans to expand infrastructure and operations into Europe as digital privacy concerns continue growing throughout the region.
The expansion arrives during a particularly sensitive moment in global technology policy.
Recent discussions surrounding European age verification systems have raised broader questions about how personal identification data will be stored, protected, and potentially shared. Privacy advocates have warned that even well-intentioned verification systems can create centralized repositories of sensitive personal information that may become vulnerable to misuse or breaches.
According to reporting from Tech Policy Press, experts have increasingly expressed concern that identity verification requirements may carry privacy implications extending beyond basic data confidentiality.
For privacy-focused companies, the issue reflects a major transformation in how consumers view digital safety.
Historically, many users treated online privacy as secondary to convenience. But growing awareness around data breaches, identity theft, and public data exposure has changed public perception significantly over the last decade.
TrueData’s business model directly addresses those concerns.
The company allows individuals to search for publicly leaked information connected to themselves and assists users in opting out from data broker platforms that collect and distribute personal details online. Unlike many competitors within the cybersecurity industry, TrueData offers its primary opt-out assistance services free of charge.
That approach has become central to the company’s identity.
While many privacy services operate behind subscription paywalls, TrueData positions accessibility as part of its broader mission to help individuals regain control over their digital footprint regardless of financial barriers.
The company also provides secondary cybersecurity services such as virtual private networks designed to improve browsing security and network privacy.
As Europe continues debating digital identity enforcement policies, cybersecurity providers may increasingly become intermediaries between governments, platforms, and consumers attempting to protect their information online.
Industry observers believe the broader privacy economy could expand dramatically over the next several years as identity-linked internet systems become more common globally.
In that environment, companies focused on transparency and user trust may gain a competitive advantage over firms relying heavily on aggressive monetization strategies or opaque data practices.
For founder Del Andujar, the issue extends beyond cybersecurity trends alone. It reflects a deeper concern about whether ordinary internet users will retain meaningful control over how their information is collected, indexed, and distributed online.
As digital identity increasingly becomes tied to daily internet access, that question may soon affect nearly every user online — not just cybersecurity professionals.
