Blume Global Launches Women In Technology Forum To Empower Its Women Employees

* Upskilling women in the workforce is key to transforming the digital economy

Blume Global, one of the leading supply chain technology providers, recently launched the Women in Technology forum for its women employees to bring in a change in the technology space.  The forum will act as a dedicated networking group to guide its women employees to a focused career path and provide a common platform to share ideas, mentor each other and encourage free flow of communication across all levels.

According to statistical data, only 25% of technical leadership roles are held by women in key tech companies.  This is due to a lack of exposure and mentorship. This initiative will act as a unique networking and learning platform for the employees to connect, engage, and educate themselves

Yamini Vellore, CIO and Head of Customer Success, Blume Global was the Chief Guest at the forum. She commented she has seen a change in the technology space over the years for women. She has grown from being the only woman working in a warehouse facility to leading her own team. Even though the workforce has transformed over the years, women still face workplace biases and are often hesitant to pursue technology as a career option, especially in a domain like supply chain.

Supply chain is still considered to be a male-dominated sector, and when it comes to supply chain technology, women need to be equally represented. This forum strives to achieve inclusive growth by giving equal opportunities to all our employees. The forum aims at creating an increased women technology talent pool not only in India but globally as well.

Under the forum, employees will have an opportunity to learn about Blume culture and seek advice on key leadership skills from industry veterans. Recently, the company organized an event celebrating the launch of the program with its women employees across India and Hong Kong.

Blume is dedicated to the professional and educational development of its employees. Blume has an existing partnership with Coursera and the Stanford Graduate School of Business offering free access to skill development courses for all employees.

Vi Business Partners With Trilliant To Provide Integrated IoT (IIoT) Solutions For Smart Metering Projects In India

 
·         Partnership provides one stop solution strengthening the Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) in the country, helping DISCOMs succeed in delivering superior citizen services

·         Vi Business is the leader in Smart Utility powering 2 in every 3 smart meters in India

Vi Business, the enterprise arm of leading telecom operator Vodafone Idea Limited (VIL), has announced its partnership with Trilliant®, a leading global provider of utility solutions for Advanced Metering and Smart Grid systems. The partnership will help Vi Business and Trilliant leverage joint domain expertise to create and implement integrated IoT solutions for Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) projects in India.

The partnership also seeks to strengthen the Government’s Digital India mission and transforms the country’s power distribution sector by converting the targeted 250 Mn electricity meters into Smart Meters, across the country.

Synergy between both parties creates a bundled offering of connectivity, cloud and HES with managed services to help Master System Integrators (MSI)/Advanced Metering Infrastructure Service Providers (AMISPs) deliver and sustain critical SLAs for AMI projects in India. Collaboration with Trilliant will allow Vi Business to leverage its global experience of Unity Suite Head End System (HES) that complies with IS 15959, enabling both daily meter reads and interval data. The partnership offers Discoms complete network visibility, transparency of operations and SLA management of complex AMI projects.

According to Arvind Nevatia, Chief Enterprise Business Officer, Vodafone Idea Limited “As a market leader in Integrated IoT and with extensive experience in Smart Metering, Vi Business remains focused on empowering DISCOMs, Citizens  and Service Providers to grow and reinvent in a smart and sustainable way. We strongly believe that our partnership with Trilliant will allow us to leverage their capability to deploy large scale AMI projects and help us deliver advanced IoT solutions for the utility providers of tomorrow, driving faster implementation of AMI in India. This collaboration also demonstrates our strong commitment in the energy and utility space in the country and will help DISCOMs reap the benefits of AMI solutions in a secure and integrated way.”

Over the years, Vi Business has built an unparalleled track record in powering India’s energy infrastructure by providing innovative IoT solutions and becoming a partner of choice for AMI projects by various Power distribution companies. Currently working with over 25 DISCOMs, Vi Business has the unique distinction of having successfully connected approx. 3 Million meters in the country - with 2 out of every 3 smart meters across India being powered by Vi.

“We are delighted to be partnering with a leading communications provider like Vi Business, and the significant opportunities it presents to both parties, and most importantly to India.” said Dan Lambert, Chief Solutions Officer, Trilliant. “To date, Trilliant has deployed more than 1.5 Mn smart meters from six different meter vendors in India, for seven utilities in Uttar Pradesh and Haryana states.  We’re looking forward to better supporting utilities in India with the combination of Trilliant’s depth of global experience in the AMI and IoT space, and Vi’s brand, its best-in-class solutions and stellar track record.”

The current Smart Meter National Programme aims to replace 250 Mn conventional meters with smart meters in India. Smart meters are connected through a web-based monitoring system (i.e., HES) which helps reduce losses of utilities, increases efficiency, enhances revenues and serves as a key enabler in power sector reforms. IoT adoption has become crucial for the digital transformation goals of large Enterprises, especially power distribution companies that are facing challenges and suffering enormous AT&C losses year after year. Most AMI stakeholders continue to work in silos, preventing DISCOMs from reaping the scale benefits of AMI. Vi Business and Trilliant will work jointly to create a bundled offering of connectivity, cloud and HES with managed services for current and future opportunities of AMI projects in the country. Vi Business provides a one stop shop for the AMI players enabling DISCOMs or SPs deliver superior customer experience and ensure the success of long tenure projects.
