LatentView Analytics’ Global Hubs Drive Data Innovation for Tech, Automotive, and BFSI

CHENNAI, India, July 30, 2024 — LatentView Analytics, a global digital analytics consulting and solutions firm, today announced the ongoing success and momentum of its Global Innovation Hubs. This success is a testament to LatentView’s commitment to driving innovation and excellence in analytics, emphasizing a differentiated approach to developing and operating data-driven mid-sized innovation centers for large firms. The goal of the Global Innovation Hubs is to fill the gap between staff augmentation and a full-fledged Global Capability Center.

According to research from Forrester, organizations that invest in data and analytics saw a two to six-fold return in the first year. LatentView’s Global Innovation Hubs are set apart from typical global capability centers by offering companies relatively lower-cost direct support for their digital innovation initiatives, including technical and industry domain expertise needed to drive change. Beyond serving solely as a set-up consultant, LatentView fully staffs and operates its Global Innovation Hubs on behalf of its customers.

Since its inception, LatentView’s Global Innovation Hubs have provided customers with experienced analytics talent and capabilities rooted in a decades-long digital transformation practice. Latentview is addressing businesses’ most pressing challenges from a shortage of technical talent, implementation, and a desire to get a better return on analytics investment by setting up a remote shore center that helps leverage global talent pools and scale data and analytics initiatives to drive innovation.

There is a growing need for this mid-sized data-driven innovation model, with a capacity of 50-1000 employees, which is being increasingly discussed amongst business and digital leaders across industries and geographies.

“LatentView’s Global Innovation Hubs play a significant role in our growth roadmap and reinforce our commitment to serve as a strategic partner to our clients,” said Rajan Sethuraman, LatentView CEO. “For organizations ready to innovate with analytics but who struggle to find the talent to support rapid growth and transformation, LatentView’s combined technical knowledge and resource-rich support systems allow global business leaders to push initiatives forward and drive value from day one.”

While legacy global capability centers focus on infrastructure setup and navigating regional business regulations, LatentView’s model builds on that important step but operates with a more involved and ownership-driven model, directly addressing the needs of large companies looking for strategic, long-term analytics solutions. LatentView helps companies set up their analytics hub through a build-operate-transfer model, allowing the company to see meaningful innovation while streamlining costs.

“We’ve seen remarkable success stories emanate from our Global Innovation Hubs, each illustrating our capability to foster innovation that genuinely drives business transformation,” said Krishnan Venkata, Chief Client Officer at LatentView Analytics. “This success of our clients reaffirms our commitment to nurturing an ecosystem where innovation thrives.”

LatentView’s Global Innovation Hubs have positioned the company as a leader in industry-specific analytics transformation. One turnkey asset management company saw $37 million in cost savings and a 25 percent increase in revenue. By emphasizing collaboration between analytics and business teams, the hubs are breaking new ground in developing innovative solutions that directly align with organizational objectives.

Vedanta Nico and AEsir Technologies Partner to Revolutionize EV Battery Technology with Nickel-Zinc Batteries

Chennai, 30th July 2024: Vedanta Nico, India’s primary nickel producer, has signed a strategic Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with AEsir Technologies, Inc., a US-based innovator in advanced battery technologies. Building on Hindustan Zinc’s existing collaboration, Vedanta Nico has now joined forces to develop and commercialize cutting-edge Nickel-Zinc (NiZn) batteries for critical infrastructure, 5G telecom, and electric vehicle chargers (EVC), positioning both companies at the forefront of the global shift towards sustainable energy.

Under the MoU, Vedanta Nico will be the preferred supplier of nickel, a critical component in AEsir Technologies’ next-generation batteries. Nickel-zinc batteries promise substantial advantages over current battery technologies, including higher energy density, power, enhanced cost efficiency, rapid charging, and superior performance, making them ideal for the rapidly growing energy storage and EV market.

Nickel plays a crucial role in EV battery technology, particularly in the cathode, where it enhances energy density, power output, and battery lifespan. Nickel-rich batteries, such as Nickel-Zinc variants, offer best-in-class fast charging, reduce reliance on cobalt, and improve the overall EV value proposition. The global demand for nickel in batteries is projected to surge from 150,000 tonnes in 2020 to 500,000 tonnes by 2025, driven by the expanding EV market adoption. The International Energy Agency (IEA) forecasts that the number of electric cars will rise from over 10 million in 2020 to 145 million by 2030, spurred by larger battery capacities, faster charging, and advancements in reducing cobalt use.

Hindustan Zinc, a Vedanta Group company and the world’s second-largest integrated zinc producer has also recently signed an MoU with AEsir Technologies for the supply of zinc for these new-age nickel zinc batteries. Hindustan Zinc’s expertise in producing metals for emerging clean-tech applications aligns perfectly with the objectives of this partnership. With one of the largest product portfolios of zinc in the world, Hindustan Zinc is exploring emerging applications of metal in the battery storage segment to support the global energy transition.

Prashuk Jain, COO – Vedanta Nico, highlighted the significance of the collaboration with AEsir Technologies, stating, “We are thrilled to partner with AEsir Technologies to create a game-changing battery solution for the critical infrastructure, 5G telecom, and EV market. Our expertise in nickel production, coupled with AEsir’s innovative zinc battery technology, positions us to deliver a product that meets the evolving needs of the industry. This collaboration aligns with our vision of contributing to a sustainable future through responsible mining and value-added products.”

This groundbreaking collaboration demonstrates Vedanta Nico’s crucial role in catering to the increasing demand for alternative energy solutions by being an active contributor of critical raw materials for the development of emerging clean technologies. As the world pivots towards a greener future, this partnership with AEsir Technologies portends far-reaching implications for innovative energy storage solutions that promise a safer, cleaner, and more sustainable tomorrow.

Adding his views, Randy Moore, CEO & Co-Founder – Aesir Technologies, said, “Energy storage is at the forefront of innovation in the energy transition. Nickel-zinc batteries represent a low-cost, sustainable, and safe alternative to lead-acid and lithium batteries in the markets we serve. Our collaboration with Vedanta Nico provides critical raw materials for the development of these next-gen batteries, supporting our commitment to sustainability.”
