On 10th Anniversary, Chennai Start-Up Gifts SUVs To Long-Term Employees
A Chennai-based startup has gifted 25 of its long-serving employees brand-new Hyundai Creta SUVs, acknowledging and appreciating their devotion to work. The occasion was the company's 10th anniversary, and more than 500 workers gathered at Agilisium's offices in Chennai's famous World Trade Centre.
The excitement heightened, for nobody knew about the surprise gift.
Besides the impressive gesture, Agilisium announced performance-based pay hikes on all levels.
'We have always felt that our people are our strongest differentiator. Gestures like these energise our culture deeply and do more than just reward performance,' Raj Babu, founder and CEO of Agilisium, told The Hindu Businessline.
When workers witness their dedication being meaningfully recognised, it improves morale, fosters an emotional bond with the organisation, and motivates others to go above and beyond, he added.
Agilisium posted pictures from the event to LinkedIn, writing, 'This was not just a tenure recognition; it highlighted the attitude of generosity in our culture from the start.'
"With that gesture, we witnessed what Agilisium had evolved into: a community committed to rewarding loyalty, encouraging growth, and appreciating the human story behind every milestone," it said.
The company's sincere approach to employee appreciation was widely praised by people on the platform.
One user commented, 'Being part of a company that values people this deeply is truly motivating. Congratulations to all those who've shaped Agilisium's success over the last decade! Grateful to be learning and growing in this environment!'
'Wow, gifting SUVs is next-level appreciation! Ten years is such a milestone...feels like a true celebration of loyalty and teamwork. Love seeing companies honour the people who make it all happen!' a second comment read.
'Kudos to Agilisium for recognising loyalty with such a meaningful gesture. Raj Babu's leadership and vision clearly shine through,' another said.
The company additionally unveiled Agilisium 3.0, its future roadmap centred on autonomous agentic AI, during the event, according to reports.
It stated that the vision is centred on assisting Life Sciences organisations in promoting innovation, enhancing patient outcomes, and enabling business change at scale.
Agilisium works with biotech and pharmaceutical firms to offer data-driven insights, creative solutions, and hyper-automation of mission-critical business operations throughout the value chain.
Last year, a Haryana-based pharmaceutical company gifted cars to its employees as a Diwali gift. At least 12 employees, including an office helper, of MitsKart received keys to the new Tata Punch cars.

Aspirants Take AI Reality Check Before Taking Poll Plunge
Nagpur: Artificial Intelligence (AI) can do a lot many things that can help improve efficiency and productivity on individual or organisational level, but can it predict how an aspirant will fare in an election? That's no longer a question, but something that's already being tried and tested. In fact, AI is the latest trend in poll strategy with aspirants seeking "advice" about their chances of winning, before throwing their hat in the ring. Some poll strategy/survey companies are now offering an AI-driven analytics services to prepare a full report on the chances (in percentage) an aspirant has in a particular ward, based on past poll records, political competition, ground surveys and issues which are connecting with people. An aspirant from North Nagpur, who wanted to check his prospects in the upcoming civic body elections, got such a report from a Mumbai-based company. The aspirant told TOI that it was a cost-effective way to get a reality check. "It's like a marriage kundli-matching report," he laughed while explaining the concept. "For less than Rs 3 lakh I get this report which provides me with a neutral view on what my chances are, regardless of what my supporters say or what I feel. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Giao dịch vàng CFDs với mức chênh lệch giá thấp nhất IC Markets Đăng ký Undo This way, I can decide whether or not to spend a lot of money in the entire poll campaign," said the aspirant. This AI generated testing-the-waters report works out best for poll aspirants who are not career politicians, though the data is crucial for every category of aspirant. Successful businessmen and moneybags who are keen to try their luck in politics still keep the 'economic viability' of their new venture in mind. This poll aspirant got TOI in touch with two others who also got the report made, and said "it helps a lot". One of them said, "The report is very detailed and we got it in Marathi only. A team came down here and did the survey and two weeks later I got the report. The chart showed us which issues are important in the ward and which party is the preferred one. Then there was an advice on what issues I will have to focus on for victory. But my report gave a low chance of me winning, so I am thinking whether or not to contest." Through these poll aspirants, TOI got in touch with the company in Mumbai, which prepared the reports. Speaking on behalf of the company, Chaitanya Wadekar said even before internet came, surveys were being done. "What has changed now is how the data is collected and most importantly – due to advent of AI – how that data is analyzed and presented," Wadekar said. Wadekar said, "AI predictive model becomes better as more data pours in. We feed it with our intensive ground intel, combined with old poll results, demographics, issues etc to get a more detailed response. Our digital AI-driven database also identifies local influencers, be it social media stars, activists, lawyers, community leaders, who each can swing a few hundred or even a thousand votes in favour of the candidate. " Poll aspirants also get a dedicated online dashboard, in Marathi too, and at the click of the button they can see a comprehensive interactive report. The third poll aspirant TOI spoke with said, "Everyone enters polls to win, nobody says I am here to lose unless you have an agenda to cut votes. And at the civic body level, candidates have to mostly put up their own funds. So, the more accurate information you can get, the better.

Work on NH-66 stretch picks up after setbacks
T'puram: After experiencing a significant setback due to contractor issues and material shortages, work on the critical Kazhakkoottam–Kadampattukonam section of NH-66 in the district has finally gained momentum. Construction stalled when the original contractor, RDS Projects Ltd, faced financial distress and was subcontracted to Pune-based RKC Infrastructure Ltd. However, shortage of materials still exists and the contractor is seeking materials from quarries in Tirunelveli, Tamil Nadu. NHAI chairman Santosh Kumar Yadav personally inspected the site last week, directing the contractor to fulfil the state govt's strict deadline of Dec 2025. "Completion by Dec 2025 is non-negotiable," Yadav told officials during his visit. In the high-level meeting, Yadav made it clear that all the NH-66 works should be completed by the Dec deadline. Sources said that the work is now progressing rapidly in the Attingal bypass region, with only 40% of the work completed. "The monsoon rains disrupted the pace, but they have started the soil filling works whenever possible. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Pinga-Pinga e HBP?

The project has been beset by a series of delays, including acute shortages of rocks and red earth, essential for the construction. In response, the contractor petitioned the state govt for access to soil from a quarry in Mudakkal village. While this eased raw material issues, financial constraints ultimately necessitated subcontracting. The scope of work remains vast, with approximately 20 lakh metric tons of soil required for landfilling and construction of a massive 22-km retaining wall. Originally scheduled for completion in Jan 2025, the deadline was later extended to Oct 2025 and the contractor has recently requested a further extension to March 2026, a request deemed unacceptable by both NHAI and the state govt.
