Truecaller Ads Launches Masthead: Brings Brands to the Forefront of Mobile Attention
Bangalore (Karnataka) [India], May 22: In a move set to redefine mobile advertising, Truecaller, the global communications platform, has unveiled the Truecaller Masthead, a powerful new ad format that places brands directly on one of the most viewed and trusted screens in the mobile experience: the primary caller ID screen.
This isn't just another ad space. It's a moment of undivided attention when over a billion times a day, users around the world glance at their phones to see who's calling. Now, brands can be part of that moment.
With Truecaller Masthead, advertisers can claim a 100% share of voice, with zero competing content. It's a clean, clutter-free canvas for storytelling delivered at a high-trust, high-visibility touchpoint. Whether it's bold display, dynamic GIFs, Rich HTML, creatives, the format flexes to match a brand's unique voice.
Backed by Truecaller's core pillars of safety, trust, and identity, Masthead ads offer more than just impressions. They offer relevance-enhanced by advanced targeting capabilities that tap into demographics, geography, custom segments, and first-party insights to deliver precision at scale.
As consumers become harder to reach and attention becomes more fragmented, Truecaller Masthead presents marketers with a rare opportunity: a moment of true focus, already embedded in users' daily habits, and wrapped in the credibility of a platform trusted by hundreds of millions.
For brands looking to cut through the noise and be seen where it truly matters-this is the call you've been waiting for.
Speaking on the launch, Hemant Arora, VP, Global Ads Business at Truecaller said, "We've built Truecaller to bring trust, efficiency and clarity to communication. With Truecaller Masthead, we're extending that same philosophy to brands, giving them a high-attention space to show up clearly, meaningfully, and without the noise of competing messages. In a time when brands are constantly competing for attention, Truecaller Masthead offers a space that's both exclusive and effective."
The solution has already been tested in its beta phase by leading brands such as Amazon Prime, Havells, and Godrej, delivering impressive viewability of 75% (with some campaigns trending as high as 90% viewability).
Saurabh Saini, Head, Digital Marketing & Communication, Havell's India, said, "The innovative Caller ID campaign with Truecaller Ads has been a great plus for our brand visibility strategy. The ability to achieve significant reach of 11 million unique users in our target segments with such innovation has exceeded our expectations. This partnership has opened up an entirely new way of connecting with our audience in a clutter free and highly visible way."
With declining attention on traditional ad formats and increasing ad fatigue, Truecaller Masthead provides brands a timely alternative, offering scale, exclusivity, and relevance.
Truecaller is an essential part of everyday communication for over 450 million active users, with more than a billion downloads since launch and close to 56 billion unwanted calls identified and blocked in 2024 alone. The company has been headquartered in Stockholm since 2009 and has been publicly listed on Nasdaq Stockholm since October 2021. Advertising the primary revenue stream for Truecaller. Truecaller Ads serves 5 billion impressions every day and is trusted by over 10,000 brands.

EZTax's AI-Driven Self-Service ITR Portal Redefines Indian Tax Filing Experience
NewsVoir Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], August 18: Today, EZTax, India's top tax filing portal, unveiled a new edition of its self-service (DIY) Income Tax e-Filing portal with significant artificial intelligence (AI) upgrades to save on taxes, reduce errors, and reduce e-filing time by 30%. With EZTax's extensive experience in tax filing services for Income Tax, GST, and TDS, it observes a significant movement in taxpayer behaviour towards online filing services as opposed to traditional individual tax consultant-based services. Furthermore, it experiences increased technological usage and expectations. With this in mind, EZTax expanded its AI capabilities outside the tax planning domain, which was released in 2017. In contrast, most tax applications in India are traditional and resemble data entry forms, but EZTax auto fill capabilities allow most data to be entered in a single click using an OTP from an Aadhaar-linked mobile or a mobile registered with the Government's income tax filing portal. Now with the latest release the AI algorithmic recommendations improve the experience and reduce the errors when filing by yourself. Suneel Dasari, EZTax's Founder and CEO, noted, "Adoption of tax-tech systems like EZTax is increasing year on year, particularly after the COVID-19 years. More Indian taxpayers are using self-service (DIY) ITR filing services than traditional filing through a tax adviser." Mr. Dasari further added, "Indian taxpayers are smart and mindful of the significant privacy risks associated with using individual tax advisors as opposed to self-service AI platforms such as EZTax." Why is EZTax different from the rest? 1. A comprehensive e-filing portal for income tax forms ITR-1/2/3/4 from the standpoint of the typical taxpayer. 2. A prime authorised ERI with the Income Tax Department of India since 2016. 3. Unlike most services in the market, EZTax's AI capabilities automatically populate data from the government's IT database and advise actions to plan ahead. 4. EZTax offers a true self-filing platform for tax filing, tax planning with "Tax Optimizer", "Creative-Audit", "EZ Help", and "Never-Lost" to ease the tax filing process, as well as other tools to help TDS, GST compliances. 5. One can file complex tax returns using capital gain upload, crypto upload, including computation of profit and loss that is not provided by the crypto brokers themselves, overseas income such RSU, ESOP, Form 67, etc. 6. Highest data security in the Indian tax industry. 7. Quality compliance as a prime motive. 8. Highest Reviewed and connected with NRIs living in 42+ countries. Pricing Self-Service Tax Filing services for AY 2025-26 (FY 2024-25) begin at Rs. 199 + GST and increase depending on the complexity of the service, such as business, capital gains, crypto income, and stock market trading activities. Availability EZTax has been an official e-return intermediary for over 9 years, assisting taxpayers with a variety of tax services. EZTax has authorized e-filing for the current assessment year ITR since June 21, 2025, placing it first among ERIs in India. The current release of its AI software is to compliment the tax filing functionality. More on Tax Consulting Services Since 2016, EZTax has been assisting taxpayers and has made tax consultation services an integral part of its service offerings, which include income tax, GST, TDS, business advisory, and compliance. Today, we are helping not only the Indian resident taxpayers but also the NRIs located in 42+ countries around the world. To learn more about the consultation service, speak with an EZTax representative via the chat window and engage or take the service, or schedule an appointment directly through the portal. EZTax, a tax tech start-up, provides comprehensive, end-to-end tax solutions in the areas of income tax, TDS, GST, accounting, and registrations for both individuals and SME businesses through AI enabled software, apps, and expert services.

Entrepreneur Prof. Klaus Fischers 75th Birthday
Last Updated: Only those who focus on the future will be successful Bengaluru, Karnataka, India (NewsVoir) On 17 August 2025, the owner of the fischer Group of Companies celebrates his 75th birthday. This year, he also celebrates 50 years of service and 45 years as General Manager – impressive milestones for a consistently future-oriented entrepreneur. His principle: 'Only those who focus on the future will be successful.' Prof. Fischer is demanding and always ahead of his time. 50 years ago, at the age of 25, he joined the company as a graduate engineer (FH) and took over the test field. At that time, the company had around 1,000 employees and generated sales of 102 million German marks (approximately 51 million euros). Today, 4,700 people worldwide are part of the family-owned company with an annual turnover of over 1.11 billion euros in 2024. Prof. Fischer soon became part of the management team. In 1980, he took over overall responsibility and developed his own vision. He took into account social changes, growing global competition and internal complexity while customer proximity, spirit of innovation and sustainable service have always played a central role. New products are now being developed worldwide. Research and development are also becoming increasingly international. 'Acting entrepreneurially, focusing on the customers and leading the company strategically into the future together with our employees – that was and is my goal,' explains Prof. Fischer. Strategic expansion of the company divisions Prof. Fischer continuously expanded the fixing systems division. In 1993, the acquisition of Upat GmbH & Co. KG in Emmendingen (then Germany's second-largest plug manufacturer) secured his market leadership. In addition to plastic plugs, heavy-duty metal fastenings gained in importance. The integration of ROCCA Bauchemie GmbH & Co. KG (foams and silicones) in 1997 created today's successful chemical division in Denzlingen. Further expansion of the chemical division is imminent. This will further strengthen the fischer fastening technology in the long term whilst becoming aligned with the future of construction. fischer mission statement and fischer ProcessSystem Prof. Klaus Fischer's understanding of progress is holistic. It was already in 1987 that he introduced a company mission statement. The values 'innovative', 'reliable' and 'accountable' were developed together with the employees and still apply to everyone in the company today. The group works worldwide in a results-oriented manner for the benefit of its customers. This is also achieved by avoiding waste and increasing added value. The fischer Process System was developed from the mission statement and the Japanese philosophy of KAIZEN, which stands for continuous change for the better. Employees play a central role in this: with their experience, they recognise weak spots and know how the company can be improved. They are thus entrepreneurs within the company, take responsibility and initiate improvements on a daily basis. Mistakes are allowed, as long as they are not made twice. 'We strive to be the best, not only in our products but also in our processes – in order to create real added value for our customers.' In 2004, fischer Consulting was created from the expertise developed within the company. The internationally active process consultancy supports internal and external customers on their way to lean and efficient processes. Fibre composite pioneer fisco The subsidiary fisco was founded in 2015. Among other things, the fibre composite pioneer is the first company in the world to develop a non-combustible fibre composite material that is ideal for structural retrofitting. With its versatile products and solutions, fisco is represented in the construction industry, railway infrastructure, shipbuilding and vehicle equipment. One year later, in 2016, Klaus Fischer strengthened the fischer Group of Companies' activities in the field of electronic components with the acquisition of LNT Automation GmbH. The division, in the meantime renamed fischer Electronic Solutions, develops and manufactures customised electronic solutions for industry and medicine. Inspiring young and old alike for technology – with fischertechnik Over the past decades, the fischertechnik division has undergone continuous development. The multi-award-winning construction kits stand for quality, durability and a playful learning experience. Prof. Fischer is particularly keen to inspire young people – especially girls – to take an interest in technology at an early age. fischertechnik learning concepts are used in schools, colleges and universities – for example in training in the MINT subjects (mathematics, information technology, natural sciences and technology) or Industry 4.0. Today, fischertechnik is represented in over 60 countries worldwide. Investments in education and health 'The greatest asset and most important factor for success in our company are the employees – not the facilities and buildings,' emphasises Prof. Fischer. Success depends largely on motivation and qualifications. That is why Prof. Fischer and his company invest heavily in training and further education. There are various talent pools. The Klaus Fischer Education Centre, the company's own training facility, has held around 1,000 free events on various topics since it was founded in 2010. In addition, all employees and pensioners have free access to the company's own fitness studio seven days a week at the company's Waldachtal site. Professional sustainability Sustainability is a particularly important issue for Prof. Fischer. It is managed holistically within the company, resulting in lean processes, speed and efficiency. The company passes on its knowledge and experience through the fischer Sustainability Campus and trains future sustainability managers. The company has received the German Sustainability Award in the 'Large Companies' category and numerous other awards for its commitment to sustainability. Prof. Klaus Fischer's commitment extends far beyond the company: in 2015, he established the Klaus Fischer Foundation for Children and Youth Education. Numerous institutions – kindergartens, schools, associations – benefit from his donations, as do international projects. He has also received numerous awards for this work: in 1996, he was awarded the Baden-Württemberg Business Medal; in 1998, he received the Training Oscar from the Junior Chamber; in 2001, he was awarded the Cross of Merit, 1st Class; and in 2013, he received the Grashof Medal from the Association of German Engineers, VDI. He has also been made an honorary professor at Tongji University in Shanghai and an honorary senator in Vienna and Stuttgart. In 2016, he received the Global DIY Lifetime Award, and in 2020, the title 'Host of the Year' for the company restaurant in Waldachtal. This was followed in 2021 by the title of Dottore Magistrale ad honorem from the University of Padua and, in 2024, the title of Dr.-Ing. E. h. from the University of Stuttgart. Looking ahead Prof. Klaus Fischer has a clear vision for the future of his company. 'It is very important to me that we focus on tomorrow and the day after tomorrow and prepare our company for the future,' he says. Artificial intelligence, digitalisation and robotics have long been part of the fischer Group of Companies. The best example of this is the fischer BauBot construction robot. Already since 2020, the fischer Innovation Campus, located in the immediate vicinity of the company's Tumlingen site, has been opening up new avenues for research, technology and collaboration. The family-owned company has 50 operating companies worldwide and exports to over 120 countries. The establishment of the 51st company in Saudi Arabia is imminent. More will follow. Thus, Prof. Klaus Fischer is continuing to expand the company's internationalisation. And what are Prof. Klaus Fischer's wishes for the coming years? 'To stay healthy! And that what we all started together in our company will be continued – with strength, enthusiasm and the same passion for the company that I have felt all these years.'
