Jeep India’s “Trail of Faith”campaign, executed by Xperia Group, an unique and innovativeon ground brand activation campaign

Mumbai, India | September 18, 2025: Jeep® India’s unique initiative, Trail of Faith, has created a unique fusion of devotion and digital innovation during Ganesh Utsav, 2025, earning official recognition from the Asia Book of Records and India Book of Records for the Largest Digital Collection of Ganpati Wishes wrapped on a Jeep® Wrangler. 

Blending culture, faith and innovation all the way to Bappa, the “Trail of Faith” was a path-breaking campaign on Ganesh Chaturthi. The campaign was co-created and executed by Jeep India and Xperia Group through an integrated mix of social, on-ground, dealership, community and radio activations.

Launched on 27th August, 2025, the campaign captured the imagination of devotees nationwide, receiving more than 110,000 wishes in the first week alone and making it 196847 wishes by the day of Visarjan. At the iconic Khetwadi Cha Raja, one of Mumbai’s most revered Ganpati pandals, the Wrangler became more than a vehicle, it stood as a messenger of faith. Devotees submitted their prayers digitally through QR code, Jeep® India’s website, dealerships, CRM outreach, and Jeep® communities. Each wish was then printed on a vinyl wrap adorning the Wrangler, turning it into a canvas of devotion.

On 6th September 2025, during Visarjan, the Wrangler adorned with lakhs of prayers from across the nation took on the role of Bappa’s vaahan. In a historic moment, the SUV pulled the Khetwadi Cha Raja idol for one kilometer, carrying the collective faith and devotion of people across India.

According to Mr Kumar Priyesh, Business Head & Director, Automotive Brands, Stellantis India said, “The starting point for Trail of Faith was a simple yet powerful insight: Ganesh Utsav is about collective prayers and shared celebrations. By digitising this sentiment and then giving it physical form on the Wrangler, we created an experience where devotees could see their faith move with Bappa himself. The overwhelming participation that followed has now been recognised as a world record—making this celebration of devotion a truly historic one.”

The record-breaking initiative was brought alive through a 360-degree engagement strategy that spanned digital, physical, and broadcast channels. From QR-enabled entries and dealership activations to CRM outreach, Jeep® communities, and nationwide amplification via social media and 92.5 Big FM (on-air, on-ground, and digital), the campaign ensured maximum visibility and inclusivity for devotees across India.

According to Mr. Saibal Gupta, Managing Director of Xperia Group, “Ganesh Chaturthi marks the birth of Lord Ganesha, who is a symbol of wisdom, hope, prosperity, and good fortune. Modern day life throws multiple challenges, stress and unpredictability leaving people restless and hopeless. The rationale was to create a massive “Trail of Faith” campaign with Jeep for engaging devotees to come forward, participate, celebrate and deepen their faith in Lord Ganesha to make their wishes come true. The activation had an overwhelming response from the masses. The sheer enthusiasm of the crowd at the iconic Khetwadi Cha Raja  Ganpati pandal was palpable and response to the campaign was unprecedented.”

From Infrastructure to Innovation, Why Managed Cloud Services Are the Key to Future Proofing Your Business

venkatraman

By – Venkataraman D, Vice President – Sales & Strategy Crayon Software Experts India

In the digital economy, the real differentiator is not how much cloud an organization consumes, it is how quickly that cloud spend translates into innovation. Businesses that once measured success by the size of their data centers now measure it by how seamlessly they can launch new products, harness AI, and pivot to customer needs in real time. Managed cloud services are emerging as the quiet engine behind this shift, transforming cloud from a cost centre into a strategic springboard for growth, resilience, and competitive advantage.

The Problem Organizations Face Today

Cloud adoption is growing fast and so is its complexity. As organizations scale workloads across multiple providers, cost drift, governance gaps, and security blind spots multiply. The Flexera 2025 State of the Cloud report shows cloud spend is rising and cost efficiency has become the dominant success metric indicating that firms are increasingly prioritizing FinOps and cost governance to avoid runaway bills. That rising complexity is the fundamental constraint holding innovation back.

Why Managed Cloud Services Matter

Managed cloud services act as a force multiplier. Instead of internal teams being consumed by patching, provisioning, and firefighting, MCS providers deliver repeatable operational excellence from continuous optimization and security to platform engineering and FinOps. This creates three practical advantages:

Predictable Cost and Better ROI

Managed providers standardize platform deployments, apply proven cost controls and FinOps practices, and reduce waste. Flexera’s research highlights that organizations are actively focusing on cost efficiency and FinOps to measure cloud progress, a clear signal that third-party expertise in cost management is now a business imperative.

Faster Access to Innovation

MCS providers provide prebuilt platform services, CI/CD pipelines, and guardrails that let product teams iterate quickly. With managed platforms handling reliability, scaling, and compliance, internal engineering can focus on differentiating features (including AI/ML workloads) rather than infrastructure plumbing. IDC’s market outlook underscores growing enterprise demand for managed cloud services as organizations transition from lift-and-shift to outcome-driven cloud consumption.

Improved Resilience and Security Posture

Managed providers embed operational best practices such as automated backups, disaster recovery runbooks, vulnerability management and continuous monitoring so that businesses get enterprise-grade resilience without hiring large specialist teams. MSP industry surveys show that many organizations already rely on MSPs for core IT functions and cybersecurity, reflecting trust in third-party operations to maintain uptime and security.

Adoption, Scale and Economic Signals

Several industry signals show MCS is becoming central to IT strategy. Global IT spending is forecast to rise, creating headroom for cloud and managed services investments; Gartner estimated worldwide IT spending growth trends that point to increased allocations for cloud transformation. These macro trends fuel demand for external expertise to convert spending into business outcomes.

IDC’s managed cloud services forecasts show the market expanding as enterprises prefer managed consumption models for complex, multi-cloud estates rather than trying to do everything in-house. KPMG’s industry guidance and recent industry studies indicate a majority of organizations, in many cases around or above 60%, are using managed services for application management or relying on MSPs for substantial parts of their SaaS and cloud operations, demonstrating that managed models are already mainstream for mission-critical workloads.

How Managed Cloud Services Future-Proof the Organization

  • Future-proofing is more than just predicting the next platform, it is about building adaptability. MCS providers deliver that adaptability through:
  • Operational maturity and automation: Standardized IaC, SRE runbooks, and automated observability take the risk out of scale and speed.
  • FinOps and cost governance: Continuous optimization reduces wasted spend and reclaims budget for innovation. Flexera’s 2025 insights make clear that cost efficiency is the primary yardstick for cloud progress.
  • Secure-by-default architectures: Embedding zero-trust, automated patching, and threat detection into managed platforms reduces exposure and speeds compliance. MSP surveys continue to list cybersecurity as a top driver for outsourcing.

Platform-centric delivery: By giving development teams self-service access to well-governed platforms, organizations combine developer velocity with enterprise controls facilitating a prerequisite for rapid AI/ML experimentation and product differentiation.

In conclusion, managed cloud services are no longer a tactical outsourcing decision; they are a cornerstone of modern business strategy. By entrusting operational complexity, cost governance, and security to specialized partners, organizations gain the freedom to accelerate innovation and focus on customer outcomes. In a marketplace defined by rapid technological shifts and rising expectations, this model delivers the adaptability and resilience needed to thrive. The companies that act now will not simply “keep up” with change but will set the pace for their industries.

India-based Enlite wins Indian patent for global-first Indian innovation in building management technology

Mumbai, September 18, 2025 — Enlite, the design-led, product-first company transforming how  buildings are run, announced that it has been granted its first patent: “A Building Management System for  Wireless Control of Equipment and a Method Thereof.” 

The patent marks a major milestone in Enlite’s mission to make the built environment intelligent by  default. The innovation eliminates the rigid, decades-old approach of wired systems and introduces a  wireless, self-commissioning, cloud-connected building management system (BMS) – a breakthrough  that enables real-time control, autonomous decision-making, and seamless operation, both online and  offline. 

At its core, the patented system features: 

  • A self-commissioning controller unit for plug-and-play equipment control. 
  • A communication module for secure cloud connectivity and real-time processing. 
  • A mirrored control algorithm stored onboard for uninterrupted operations in offline mode. A feedback module ensuring safe, efficient, and optimized equipment performance. 
  • A device discovery module that enables automatic detection of new devices for faster  deployment. 

Garima Bharadwaj, Co-Founder & CTO of Enlite, said: “For a long time, building automation was  treated as a black box—expensive, rigid, and something you had to simply trust without questioning. With  this patent, we’ve not only reimagined how infrastructure can be wireless and adaptive, but we’ve also  brought credibility to a space where trust in technology was missing. It’s a win not just for Enlite but for  the industry, proving that smarter systems can also be reliable and future-ready.”

Gaurav Bali, Co-Founder & CEO of Enlite, added: “Innovation in our space has often been about  promises rather than proof. Securing this patent is validation that our approach is different—it’s not just  an idea, it’s a tested and protected technology that’s already delivering measurable impact. From  eliminating thousands of kilometres of wiring to reducing carbon emissions at scale, this milestone  reinforces that wireless, intelligent systems are not just possible, they’re here, and they’re changing how  buildings are run.” 

The newly granted patent not only strengthens Enlite’s IP portfolio but also enforces its leadership in  wireless, API-first automation systems that define how the real estate industry approaches  sustainability, scalability, and occupant experience.
