These devices will be launched in buses in Vijayawada, Guntur, Kakinada, Visakhapatnam, and Tirupati by chief minister Chandrababu Naidu, deputy chief minister Pawan Kalyan, IT minister Nara Lokesh, home minister Vangalapudi Anita, and revenue minister Anagani Satya Prasad in different locations.
The CEO explained that these devices, equipped with specially installed 360-degree cameras, will enable real-time monitoring of RTC bus movements. The devices will assist in surveillance, emergency services, safety, and data management required for bus operations. The CEO stated that by providing AI-based services in govt programmes related to women empowerment and public service, the company aims to play a key role in the state's innovations.
He said that the company will offer services in the pharma, health, automotive, retail, and food sectors. The CEO also announced that the company will soon establish a Centre of Excellence (CoE) in Vijayawada. He highlighted that BONbLOC is among the top ten blockchain companies known for innovative breakthroughs. He said that they are happy to expand BONbLOC, a rapidly growing company in the US, to Andhra Pradesh.
He emphasised that their goal is to deliver high-quality software services to customers in less time and at lower costs. He assured that the company will provide help in projects related to artificial intelligence, blockchain, and IoT. He also noted that Andhra Pradesh, with opportunities for investments in IT and other sectors, has the potential to achieve economic growth of 2.4 trillion dollars. "BONbLOC's expansion in Vijayawada aligns with our mission to enable customers to realise unprecedented business value and is a testament to our dedication to becoming an advanced Information Technology company," said Govindarajan.
He said that they are committed to doing whatever it takes to earn and build customer trust and satisfaction in our products and services.

Over 56,000 women to benefit from Stree Shakti initiative in Annamayya district, say RTC officials
The Andhra Pradesh State Road Transport Corporation (APSRTC) is fully geared to implement the State government's 'Stree Shakti'initiative in Annamayya district from August 15 (Friday) to mark the Independence Day celebrations. The initiative is in tune with a key election promise made by the coalition government to provide free travel to women in the State-run buses. At present, the RTC officials in Rayachoti estimate that over 1.41 lakh passengers travel daily via corporation buses in the district. Of this, women passengers account for more than 40 per cent. The pro-women initiative would directly benefit 56,400 women, the officials said. Expecting a huge surge in the women commuters, the officials have earmarked 480 buses out of the district's total fleet of 545, operating from Rayachoti, Rajampet, Pileru, Madanapalle-1, and Madanapalle-2 depots. The 480 buses include 363 Pallevelugu, 27 Ultra Pallevelugu, and 90 Express services. The officials clarified that the women passengers must hold an aadhaar card linked to Andhra Pradesh State to avail travel free-of-cost, and those without aadhaar cards will have to purchase regular tickets. Meanwhile, the RTC officials from Annamayya district, an area which is largely agrarian, believe that the initiative could result in a dip in their monthly income. Following the launch of the new initiative the monthly income could touch ₹45 lakh, and it might even cross the ₹60-lakh mark as more number of beneficiaries are expected to shift from private vehicles to the RTC, they added. Regional Manager C. Ramu said that adequate staffing and operational measures are perfectly in place to maintain punctuality in services and prevent any inconvenience to other passengers. 'All arrangements have been completed for the scheme's successful launch. A detailed operational report has been sent to the headquarters,' he said.
