Trilogy launches Auto, telecom forecasts service in India
BANGALORE: Business services provider Trilogy has announced the launch of its business services for the telecom and automobile sectors in India.
A few years ago, Trilogy changed their business model from one of software sellers to that of delivering guaranteed business value for its clients. It has so far worked exclusively with Fortune 1000 companies in the US.
Trilogy is looking to enter the Indian market with what they claim are services proven in the US with companies in the Auto sector such as Ford, DaimlerChrysler, Nissan, and Goodyear etc. Trilogy president & CEO Joe Liemandt says that using patented technologies, Trilogy can predict consumer desires three months before vehicle launch, enabling OEM’s to drastically improve retail inventory mix.
This is done purely by profiling surfers to websites dedicated for this purpose. Traffic to these sites could be directed through search engines such as Yahoo! and Google.
Trilogy claims to have the wherewithal to determine whether the surfer is a serious buyer, a child, a competitor, etc. Sanjay Nigam (Ex-Maruti Udyog) has been roped in as director to head this service.
For the telecom sector, Trilogy India team has created what Liemandt claims is one of the best tools that his company has ever launched – Determine the best plan for a postpaid mobile user offered by his service provider just by feeding in the details of the last e-bill.
This service has already been activated in Karnataka on 15 September, 2006 on www.Yourbillbuddy.com, Virendra Gupta, director-telecom services, said. A formal announcement with all the service providers for the Karnataka circle is expected shortly. This will greatly help bring down the churn and increase ARPU from existing customers. Trilogy claims that operators have shown significant interest in the service. An all India roll out can be expected in about six months.
NEW DELHI: Hamdard Laboratories gathered a cross-section of India’s achievers in New Delhi on Friday, handing out the Hakeem Abdul Hameed Excellence Awards to figures who have left their mark across healthcare, education, sport, public service and the arts.
The ceremony, attended by minister of state for defence Sanjay Seth and senior officials from the ministry of Ayush, celebrated individuals whose work blends professional success with a sense of public purpose. It was as much a roll call of achievement as it was a reminder that influence is not measured only in profits or podiums, but in people reached and lives improved.
Among the headline awardees was Alakh Pandey, founder and chief executive of PhysicsWallah, recognised for turning affordable digital learning into a mass movement. On the sporting front, Arjuna Awardee and kabaddi player Sakshi Puniya was honoured for her contribution to the game and for pushing women’s participation onto bigger stages.
The cultural spotlight fell on veteran lyricist and poet Santosh Anand, whose songs have echoed across generations of Hindi cinema. At 97, Anand accepted the honour with characteristic humility, reflecting on a life shaped by perseverance and hope.
Healthcare honours spanned both modern and traditional systems. Manoj N. Nesari was recognised for strengthening Ayurveda’s place in national and global health frameworks. Padma shri Mohammed Abdul Waheed was honoured for his research-backed work in Unani medicine, while padma shri Mohsin Wali received recognition for his long-standing contribution to patient-centred care.
Education and social development also featured prominently. Padma shri Zahir Ishaq Kazi was honoured for decades of work in education, while former Meghalaya superintendent of Police T. C. Chacko was recognised for public service. Goonj founder Anshu Gupta received an award for his dignity-centred rural development initiatives, and the Hunar Shakti Foundation was honoured for empowering women and young girls through skill development.
The Lifetime Achievement Award went to former IAS officer Shailaja Chandra for her long career in public healthcare and governance, particularly in the traditional systems under Ayush.
Speaking at the event, Hamdard chairman Abdul Majeed said the awards were a tribute to those who combine excellence with empathy. “These awardees reflect Hakeem Sahib’s belief that healthcare, education and public service must ultimately serve humanity,” he said.
Minister Seth struck a forward-looking note, saying India’s young population gives the country a unique opportunity to become a global destination for learning, health and wellness by 2047.
The ceremony also featured the trailer launch of Unani Ki Kahaani, an upcoming documentary starring actor Jim Sarbh, set to premiere on Discovery on 11 February.
Instituted in memory of Unani scholar and educationist Hakeem Abdul Hameed, the awards have grown into a national platform that celebrates those building a more inclusive and resilient India. For one evening at least, the spotlight was not just on success, but on service with substance.
