Bengaluru City Police partners with Havas WW Digital Matrix
MUMBAI: Bengaluru City Police has partnered with Havas‘s full service digital agency Havas Worldwide Matrix to build their police community engagement program through social media.
The programme will be launched with the aim of generating awareness among citizens and assisting Bengaluru City Police in building a social media community via platforms like Facebook and Twitter. This will be a common communication platform and help the city police to listen and engage with the law-abiding citizens and establish better connect with them.
This Police Community Engagement program will also help the Bengaluru City Police to showcase and make citizens aware about their community initiatives like Elders Helpline (1090), Children Helpline (Makkala Sahayavani- 1098) and Women Helpline (Vanitha Sahayavani- 1091).
Havas Worldwide Digital Matrix will put into place its expertise and help the Bengaluru Police establish an online media centre in the country. Havas Worldwide Digital Matrix will assist BCP in building their own team of Social Media Community managers and will help them serve people better.
Bengaluru City Police will also have access to Havas Worldwide Digital Matrix‘s online communication tool ReputeMe which will help the community managers to listen, monitor and engage with the people and understand and attend to their concerns and problems at a faster pace. When it comes to Social Media communication and technology, this would add significant ammo in their armoury.
The Social Media Community will also serve as an instrument for crisis management, along with exploring the idea of community policing using social media. Havas WW Matrix has been roped in also to implement this approach and to maintain an equally good reputation online as offline.
Joint Commissioner of Police Crime B. Dayananda said, “We are eager to build a community and reach out to more citizens through our Social Media Program. With Social media fast turning into a medium for the masses, this program will help us to enhance our reach and connect with the citizens on a personal level. We are confident that our association with Havas Worldwide Digital Matrix will help fulfill our goal of making BCP accessible to the masses.”
Havas Worldwide Digital Matrix CEO Ravi Shankar said, “As the community expands and disperses, Social Media comes across as a great platform to keep the community closer. This Social Media Community will be highly engaging and will help the city police come closer to the community and reach the larger population of Bengaluru. Launching a Social Media Program is a great endeavor by the BCP, and Havas Worldwide Digital Matrix is happy to be its part. We believe the future of this association is going to be very bright, and are looking forward to the same.”

Ember Cookware appoints Amit Singh as chief of supply chain
10-year veteran to lead operations as brand scales across D2C, quick commerce and retail.
MUMBAI: Ember just handed its supply chain the perfect seasoning because when your cookware is non-toxic and non-stick, the operations behind it better be fast and flawless. Ember Cookware has appointed Amit Singh as chief of supply chain and Services, bolstering its leadership team at a pivotal growth phase. Singh brings over a decade of experience in supply chain strategy, operations and large-scale network buildouts.
He began his career at Singapore-based retail giant Giant Hypermarket before joining Pharmeasy in 2015, where he played a foundational role in building and scaling its pan-India supply chain across B2B and B2C channels. At API Holdings, he later led supply chain operations for North India, managing end-to-end execution across complex, multi-city networks.
In his new role, Amit will oversee Ember’s complete supply chain and service ecosystem including sourcing, manufacturing coordination, logistics, last-mile delivery, post-purchase support and workforce development. His mandate focuses on building cost-efficient, resilient operations that shorten fulfilment times, strengthen inventory management and deliver a consistently high-quality consumer experience as the brand expands nationally.
Ember Cookware co-founder & CEO Siddharth Gadodia said, “Supply chain is where growth either holds or breaks. As we scale across channels and geographies, we need operations that are efficient, resilient, and built for speed, without ever compromising on the consumer experience. Amit has done this before, at real scale.”
Ember Cookware co-founder & CMO Himanshi Tandon added, “As we scale, supply chain efficiency becomes as important as product and brand. Amit’s mandate is to build the operational foundations that make our promise consistent at scale.”
Amit Singh commented, “Ember is building something genuinely different, a category-defining brand with a clear purpose and the ambition to match. I’m looking forward to building supply chain infrastructure that doesn’t just keep pace with growth, but enables it.”
The appointment forms part of Ember’s broader push to deepen leadership across key functions as it invests in its Innovation Lab, proprietary material technologies and operational backbone to support national expansion.
In a kitchenware world where non-stick promises are easy but delivery is hard, Ember isn’t just cooking up products, it’s cooking up an operation that keeps every promise sizzling from factory to fork.
