Firms bare hearts, lend a hand to staff

Chennai : Companies are standing by their employees in their hour of crisis.

Tech major Cognizant, which houses more than 60,000 of its employees across 11 development centres in Chennai, has earmarked Rs 195 crore to help with immediate and long-term recovery needs of its employees and business partners. Apart from direct grants and loans, the company is setting up healthcare teams.

Telecom firm MTS has covered part of the expenses that employees will incur on vehicles or homes damaged due to the rains in Chennai and Puducherry. “To ensure that our employees resume their normal life immediately, we have credited their bank accounts with Rs 3,000 for two-wheeler damage, Rs 10,000 for four wheelers and Rs 30,000 for home repairs,” said Suresh S Kumar, COO, MTS.

All affected employees have been living in the company guesthouse for the past one week and during the weekend, the company will distribute one month worth provisions, blankets, kitchen equipment to 125 off-roll and 30 on-roll employees.

Country’s largest lender SBI announced salary advance loans of up to three months salary. The bank also waived issuance of duplicate ATM cards, and announced 10% of car loan amount as repair costs.

Several BPO firms have extended a salary advance loans for its employees. “We know our employees are impacted because of Chennai Floods. We have decided to take care of them financially, albeit to a small extent. We have decided to extend a one off offer of 15 days salary to every employee as a goodwill gesture immediately. The amount will be credited on December 15,” a BPO unit in Ambattur said.

Raintree Hotels which has two hotel properties in Chennai and Attune Technologies, a healthcare startup will provide affected employees with cash and kind contributions collected amongst the employees.

Harish Sivaraman has joined as Senior VP for Projects & Implementation and Rajlakshmi Raghavan has been appointed as Senior VP and Head of Marketing

Attune Technologies has announced the expansion of its leadership team with the appointment of function heads for Marketing and Projects & Implementation.

Harish Sivaraman has joined as Senior VP for Projects & Implementation and Rajlakshmi Raghavan has been appointed as Senior VP and Head of Marketing. Both these leaders will report into Arvind Kumar, Founder & CEO of Attune Technologies.

Harish Sivaraman brings with him over 20 years of experience in healthcare, BPS and IT Services. Prior to joining Attune Technologies, Harish was part of Medall Healthcare, a leading healthcare diagnostics chain in India, Merrill Technologies and Lason. Harish comes with expertise in healthcare ecosystem and has driven large BPS companies to scale.

Rajlakshmi brings over 18 years of rich experience in sectors such as advertising, direct marketing, event management, PR, corporate communication and consulting. Prior to Attune Technologies, she was associated with Procter & Gamble, McCann Erickson, Ajuba Solutions, Region Holdings and TalentSprint in progressive marketing roles. She has a keen understanding of diverse markets and carries a wealth of experience from early-stage as well as large companies.

Welcoming the new leadership on-board, Arvind Kumar, said, “I am delighted to welcome Harish and Rajlakshmi to Attune Technologies. They both bring in wealth of experience and immense skill and I am sure that they will play a pivotal role in helping us drive company’s growth to the next level.”

Attune Technologies gets $10M series B to expand its healthcare software beyond India

Attune Technologies, a startup that makes cloud-based software for hospitals and labs, will tackle markets outside of India after scoring a $10 million Series B round from Qualcomm Ventures and returning investor Norwest Venture Partners.

This is the first investment from Qualcomm Ventures’ Strategic Venture Fund in India, which was announced at the end of last month. Along with a $6 million Series A that Attune Technologies raised in May from Norwest and angel funding, this brings the startup’s total venture funding so far to $17 million.

Founder Arvind Kumar says there is still plenty of room to grow in India, where Attune’s software currently handles 10 million patient records for 2,500 healthcare centers, but it also plans to launch soon in the Middle East, Southeast Asia, and Africa.

Attune was founded to give smaller organizations without IT departments an affordable alternative to traditional hospital management software, which is often costly to deploy and maintain. The company charges a fixed monthly fee for SaaS products tailored to hospitals, diagnostics labs, and clinics.

“What the cloud and SaaS does is democratize a lot of software which was only available to large hospitals and labs before that could afford to pay a premium,” says Kumar. Besides scaling in India, Attune also plans to offer its products in the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Oman, Saudi Arabia in the Middle East; Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana, and Mauritius in Africa; and Malaysia, India, and Vietnam in Southeast Asia.

In India, Attune’s competitors include Ubq Software and Insta Health (the latter was acquired by Practo last month). Kumar says Attune differentiates by being almost completely cloud-based, so its products are not only more accessible, but will also be easier to adapt to mobile. These will include apps for doctors and lab technicians so they can access patient records and other data from their smartphones, as well as a mobile-first health screening app to track malaria and other communicable diseases and predict where they will spread.

Attune’s mobile technology may also help it cement partnerships with companies that offer home healthcare visits, a fast-growing market in India.
