New Delhi, May 21, 2025: Consistent, a trusted leader in the IT Hardware, Storage, Print Consumables and Security & Surveillance, has bagged two key awards at the recently concluded 17th NCN Awards 2024.

Reflecting on the win, Yogesh Agrawal, CMD and Co-Founder of Consistent, said: “These recognitions mean a lot to us—not just as a company, but as a team that has worked hard to build something reliable and long-lasting. We’ve always believed that if we keep things simple and focus on what customers really need, growth will follow. This award is a moment to pause and thank all our partners, teams, and customers who have made this journey possible.”
Consistent has built its reputation not through flashy campaigns, but by staying close to the ground—understanding what the Indian consumer wants, keeping pricing transparent, and ensuring stock availability and service support in both metro and non-metro cities.

How Lumeil’s Procurement Concierge Is Saving Time (and Sanity) for India’s Designers
Jaipur: In a design industry where timelines are shrinking and client expectations are rising, Lumeil—a curated e-commerce platform for premium decorative lighting—is helping top interior designers and architects regain control of one of their most frustrating workflows: lighting procurement.
With the launch and rapid adoption of its Procurement Concierge service, Lumeil is streamlining an often overlooked, chaotic part of the design process. From sourcing and availability checks to pricing, delivery coordination, and damage control, the platform’s structured service is solving the time-draining challenges that professionals quietly endure behind the scenes.
In India’s booming interior design market—projected to grow at a CAGR of 7.4% through 2030—designers are managing more complex projects than ever, with tighter deadlines and higher stakes. Yet lighting procurement remains a fragmented process, often involving back-and-forth with multiple vendors, unclear lead times, inconsistent product quality, and poor post-sale support.
“This is the part no one sees—the hours spent chasing product confirmations, the panic when one pendant arrives broken, or when a design gets discontinued mid-project,” said Naman Jain, Founding Member of Lumeil. “Our Procurement Concierge brings structure, speed, and service to a process that has long been neglected. It’s not just about selling lighting—it’s about removing friction and giving designers the headspace to focus on creativity.”
Through Lumeil’s concierge support, designers get access to a dedicated lighting procurement specialist who handles everything from vendor coordination and product comparisons to availability checks, consolidated invoicing, and project-wise shipment tracking. This service is particularly valuable in multi-vendor projects, where timelines are tight and coordination can make or break delivery schedules.
As design firms scale and take on larger residential, hospitality, and commercial projects, structured procurement services like Lumeil’s are increasingly seen not as a luxury—but a necessity.
“Procurement shouldn’t be a guessing game,” added Naman. “We’re giving designers a smarter, faster way to work—with the confidence that every fixture will arrive as expected, on time, and aligned with the design vision.”
With its Procurement Concierge offering, Lumeil is not just selling lighting—it’s becoming a strategic sourcing partner to India’s design community, helping professionals meet the demands of modern project delivery without sacrificing quality, control, or peace of mind.

78 percentage of Gen Z Values Social Connection at Work, Reveals Compass Group Study
May 21, India: As Gen Z prepares to dominate the global workforce, a groundbreaking study by Compass Group, the fastest-growing food and facility management services provider, in collaboration with Mintel, reveals a compelling insight: food is fast becoming the new connector in the modern workplace. The study underscores that social connectivity at work is no longer optional—it is essential for employee well-being and talent retention.
Spanning 21 countries—including India—and covering sectors like Business & Industry, Healthcare & Senior Living, Education, Sports & Leisure, and Defence, Offshore & Remote, The Power of Socialisation survey found that 78% of Gen Z employees value work environments that promote meaningful relationships, while 54% would quit a job due to loneliness. The data highlights that only 29% of Gen Z employees feel connected to their company’s mission in unsocial work environments—underscoring the growing need to embed natural moments of socialisation into daily office life.

In today’s hybrid and high-pressure workplaces, food has emerged as a powerful enabler of social interaction. From vibrant cafés to curated micro-markets and coffee bars, companies are designing food spaces to bring people together. These spaces are becoming hubs for conversation, collaboration, and creativity—transforming the break into a vital moment of reconnection. Whether it is the casual conversation over a morning brew or team bonding over healthy lunches, food-led experiences are reshaping workplace culture.
Vikas Chawla, Managing Director, Compass Group India, said, “The Power of Socialisation report confirms what leaders have long suspected; workplace culture directly impacts retention and performance. When employees feel socially connected, they align with organisational goals. The data speaks volumes; only 14% of employees in non-social workplaces see themselves staying long-term. This study proves that workplaces designed to foster interactions lead to happier, more engaged, and more productive employees.”
Based on the report’s findings, Compass Group India is at the forefront of fostering connection through food. The company is designing immersive café spaces, coffee bars with vibrant interiors, and wellness-focused food counters. These settings not only spark spontaneous conversations but also support a healthy and purpose-driven culture. By turning mealtimes into shared experiences, Compass is nurturing workplace belonging and joy.
Hobby clubs such as reading circles, music groups, and gaming parlors are also emerging as key drivers of employee engagement—and food is seamlessly integrated into these spaces through themed snack stations, micro-kitchens, and beverage counters that make these breakout zones inviting and energising. Coffee has emerged as the ultimate conversation starter, with offices investing in beautifully designed coffee bars that mirror the experience of a local café, complete with cozy seating and ambient vibes.
“The future of work is deeply social and as leaders responsible for shaping tomorrow’s workplace, we cannot ignore these findings. Our responsibility extends beyond operational metrics to creating a culture that fosters belonging and purpose. The study shows that employees taking structured breaks report 52% higher workplace happiness than those who take breaks only when prompted by exhaustion. The Gen Z and Millennials, in particular, are looking for more than just a paycheque; they seek workplaces that actively promote interaction, collaboration, and well-being. Organisations that prioritise social connectivity will see measurable returns in engagement, innovation, and retention,” commented Manika Awasthi, Chief People Officer, Compass Group India.
In a rapidly evolving economic landscape—where India contributes over 7% to global GDP and houses a 500-million-strong workforce—the role of food in crafting inclusive and engaging work environments is becoming more central than ever.
As businesses prepare for the future, those that nurture daily, human experiences—especially over food—will lead in attracting, engaging, and retaining top talent. Compass Group India is proud to be pioneering this transformation, turning every meal and coffee break into a moment of meaningful connection.

When AI Empowers Both Networks and Hackers: The New Battlefield for India’s Telecoms

Attributed to Sundar Balasubramanian, Managing Director, Check Point Software Technologies, India & South Asia
Telecommunications—always an important utility—has become the critical backbone of our digital economy. It supports everything from emergency response systems and banking to generative AI and smart cities. However, the world is navigating a powerful intersection of opportunity and risk and with this transformation comes heightened vulnerability.
Cyber attackers are no longer targeting only data—they’re aiming for the very infrastructure that keeps societies connected. The Global Telecom Outlook 2024–2028 by PwC reports that telecom revenues rose 4.3% in 2023 to US$1.14 trillion but are expected to grow slower at a 2.9% CAGR through 2028, below inflation. Rising cyber threats and compliance costs could further challenge profitability, making strong cybersecurity essential for sustainable growth. As we celebrated World Telecommunication and Information Society Day (WTISD) 2025, we take a look at this key critical infrastructure sector and how AI can be a double-edged sword for today’s telecommunications providers.
A Strategic Cyber Target – Telecommunications Sector
In the 1Q of 2025, the telecommunications sector experienced the highest percentage increase in weekly cyber attacks, with a 94% jump, reaching 2,664 attacks per organization weekly according to Check Point Research, with the expectation for this to rise.
The World Economic Forum’s Global Cybersecurity Outlook 2025 report also acknowledged that from large-scale state-sponsored cyber espionage via telecommunications infrastructure to the targeting of satellites and undersea cables, geopolitical tensions continue to manifest through the increasing number of attacks on critical communications infrastructure. Undersea cables are crucial for facilitating not just the flow of global data but also the corresponding economic exchange. Their strategic role makes them vulnerable to monitoring and disruption, especially with limited defense measures and rising geopolitical tensions.
Incidents experienced since April has seen India experiencing a series of coordinated cyber activities believed to be linked to groups based in Pakistan, such as APT36 and Team Insane PK. These incidents have impacted sectors including telecommunications, involving tactics ranging from website defacements to ransomware and data breaches. Experts have also raised concerns about the importance of enhanced cyber security measures and increased public awareness.
This continued rise in cyber attacks on this critical infrastructure are driven by a few factors :
- Growing reliance on digital infrastructure such as 5G deployments have massively expanded the digital attack surface, especially through edge computing nodes.
- Telecoms are increasingly integrating AI and automation, creating new vulnerabilities in service delivery, data flow, and customer interactions.
- State-sponsored actors now view telecom infrastructure as a soft entry point to disrupt national economies, gather intelligence, or sow chaos, making this critical infrastructure a prime target for cyber criminals looking to exploit vulnerabilities.
The European Union Agency for Cybersecurity (ENISA) classified telecom as a top-priority critical infrastructure sector in its Threat Landscape Report 2024, a trend now echoed in over 85 countries globally.
Without (Tele)Communications, A Quiet Place
The potential impact of a compromised telecom system extends far beyond just inconvenience. Cyber attacks on the telecommunications can paralyze national services, derail emergency responses, and cripple financial operations, besides just halting the ability for citizens to contact one another.
Societal chaos was evident a few years ago ,when in India, a BEC (business email compromise) attack on a telco vendor led to the leakage of over 12 million mobile subscriber records, including geolocation, which were later exploited in targeted phishing campaigns.
This is more than just an isolated incident, that can be seen as an early warning. As countries digitize critical infrastructure and societies become reliant on digital services, telecom outages caused by cyber attacks can lead to national economic disruption, erosion of public trust, and at worst, in extreme cases, to loss of life.
The AI Factor: Double-Edged Sword for Telcos
AI is transforming telecom operations worldwide. According to the KPMG India IMC Report 2024, 55% of Indian telecom companies have deployed AI at scale, with 37% actively expanding their use. Despite challenges like talent shortages and costs, 65% of Indian CXOs view generative AI as a critical driver of long-term growth. A 2024 study by Nvidia1 found that nearly 90% of telecom companies use AI, with 48% in the piloting phase and 41% actively deploying AI. Most telecom service providers (53%) agree or strongly agree that adopting AI would provide a competitive advantage. Additionally, satellite communications in India is poised for growth, supported by anticipated policy and regulatory updates.
However, as telcos ramp up their use of AI, so do cyber attackers, leveraging it for unprecedented scale and precision. For example, with chatbots now handling a growing amount of telco customer interactions, these bots are now being targeted for prompt injection and social engineering.
In Hong Kong in 2024, a British multinational engineering firm was reportedly scammed out of $25 million (approximately HK$200 million) through a deepfake scam involving an employee in the Hong Kong office. This employee was tricked into transferring the funds to five local bank accounts via 15 transactions after receiving video conference calls from individuals posing as senior company officers.
Building Security into Every Layer
Whilst governments around the world have noticeably started to collaborate to ensure the critical infrastructure sector of telecommunications is receiving greater attention for security, it’s clear more needs to be done.
The Telecommunications (Telecom Cyber Security) Rules, 2024, introduced under the Telecommunications Act, 2023, mark a major step in enhancing India’s telecom security. Replacing the 2017 rules, they aim to combat rising cyber threats by mandating telecom entities to adopt robust cyber security policies, conduct regular audits, and appoint a Chief Telecommunication Security Officer (CTSO). Entities must report cyber incidents within six hours and establish Security Operations Centres (SOCs) for real-time threat management. The government is empowered to collect non-content telecom data for security purposes, with prescribed safeguards. However, concerns remain over broad definitions, potential overreach, lack of procedural clarity, high compliance costs, and unclear alignment with existing IT laws. While the rules bolster security, experts call for clearer guidelines, privacy protections, and support for smaller players to ensure balanced enforcement.
In the Asia–Pacific region, countries such as Japan and Singapore are strengthening their cyber laws, with Japan’s Act on the Protection of Personal Information (APPI) and Singapore’s Cybersecurity Act reinforcing compliance for critical infrastructure operators..
But to combat evolving threats, telecom providers must go beyond compliance and adopt cyber security as a core strategic function. That includes:
- AI red teaming – Simulating attacks on AI-based systems to identify weaknesses before adversaries do.
- Voice biometrics & real-time analysis – To detect AI deepfake audio or spoofed communications.
- Advanced threat prevention –Harnessing AI-driven solutions such as Check Point GenAI Protect, AI Cloud Protect, and ThreatCloud AI to enable real-time prevention across all environments—including on-premises, DevSecOps, cloud, applications, and workspaces. In addition, continuous threat exposure and risk assessment analysis is integral to achieving a fully automated and adaptive threat prevention strategy.
In regions like Southeast Asia, some telcos have already partnered with Check Point to implement cloud-native threat detection and secure SD-WAN policies across their 5G rollout zones. In one case, incident response times were reduced by 30% within six months, drastically improving business continuity.
Resilience is the New Bandwidth
As the world races toward full digital transformation, telecom networks are the threads weaving everything together. But smart, connected systems can also collapse at scale if not adequately protected. In 2025 and beyond, we must treat cyber security in telecom not as an IT line item, but as a pillar of national and global security.
Telecommunication is the circulatory system of our digital world. But as AI accelerates and cyber adversaries become more sophisticated, the risk of systemic failure grows. The future of telecom resilience depends on whether we can secure what we innovate—and whether our defenses evolve faster than the threats we face.

C Com Digital and FRAT Launch Collaborative Campaign to Promote Early Autism Diagnosis
Mumbai, 20/5/25: C Com Digital a techno digital agency from India, delivered an impactful campaign for Religen Inc., a USA-based company, and its product, the Folate Receptor Antibody Test (FRAT®). This campaign combines science, strategy, and storytelling and has successfully impacted the conversation around autism in the USA and reached over a million people with the appropriate messaging.
With more than 15,000 individuals tested and over 52% showing the presence of Folate Receptor Autoantibodies—a condition often linked to cerebral folate deficiency—FRAT® offers a new lens in the early diagnosis of autism. C Com Digital understood the client’s needs and created a campaign that could amplify the insights through viral social content, high-performing infographics, animated explainers, and physician-targeted blogs. This campaign reached over 1 million users while cutting cost-per-click by half and driving a 754% surge in new users.
What set this effort apart was its ability to humanise complex science without compromising its credibility. A single user testimonial on TikTok, detailing a child’s transformation post-diagnosis, went viral, garnering 800 K+ views and tens of thousands of shares.
Speaking about this, Chandan Bagwe, Founder/Director of C Com Digital, said, “This was more than just a campaign; it was a mission. While we led the digital execution, the insights and support from FRAT®, medical experts, and families made this a truly collaborative project. It demonstrated how storytelling and science can work hand-in-hand to create real awareness and action.”
Furthermore, Bhushan Sawant, Founder of Religen Inc., said, “C Com Digital played a key role in crafting the campaign’s messaging and outreach, and the results speak for themselves. Their understanding of healthcare communication helped us engage with families and professionals meaningfully.”
Beyond digital traction, the campaign engaged autism support groups, offline advocacy platforms like the National TACA Conference, and initiatives like the #BlueBucketPledge to build collective momentum. From community pledges to professional forums, the message was consistent: early diagnosis changes outcomes.
With over 1 million individuals reached, the FRAT® awareness campaign has set a benchmark for how collaborative healthcare communications can promote preventive diagnostics in the public sphere.
