“Great Discoveries And Improvements Invariably Involve The Cooperation Of Many Minds. I May Be Given Credit For Having Blazed The Trail, But When I Look At The Subsequent Developments I Feel The Credit Is Due To Others Rather Than To Myself.”

A Tribute to the Father of the Telephony

Hon’ble Dr. Jitendra Singh Minister of State in the Prime Ministers Office;Ministry of Personnel, Public Grievances and Pensions; Department of Atomic Energy and Department of Space and Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) in the Ministry of Development of North Eastern Region Aegis Graham Bell Awards It makes me feel proud of being part of Aegis Graham Bell Awards ceremony. We as Indians have the real personification dream of Startup India, Standup India and Digital India. This dream was laid before us by our honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi. When I was listening to the different citation, inventions and creation made at Aegis Graham Bell Awards by different innovators, I thought I have reason to believe and agree that we have already started up and we are standing up. This is something I want to compliment Aegis and Innovators for. I believe this is one of the best time for India because we have in place a government and a Prime Minister who is always supportive, who always encourages, who always patronize out of box ideas, an experimentation with a positive outlook and with a futuristic vision. In addition to that he has a natural scientific temple and therefore he is extraordinarily stimulated by any new scientific ideas that comes across. Therefore one has opportunity to develop such talent and proceed further in the journey of innovation and also a participant or shall I say architect for India's ascent to become a world apart. This is the generation some of us may be not around but in few years when India rises to become super power you would have pride to become participant in that ascent and that will be your privilege. I think sometimes we have to learn to make the best use of the new things happening around us. Sometimes we have to unlearn what we taught over the years. When I was in IAD I was telling the boys over there that they are the best ambassador of Startup India only if they stop becoming job seekers and instead become job creators. Our young achievers could also educate young aspirants and also educate the parents of the young aspirants. Any research becomes viable only on two prerequisite a) It has to be socially applicable b) It as to be economically viable and now you have gone far ahead with this kind of innovations. I would like to educate others as well that we are in best of the time and we have greatest potential, we have political dispensation which encourages such adventurism and therefore it is now up to us to decide how best we can make use of these golden opportunities. Once again many congratulations to all the award winners and thank you for making me a part of Aegis Graham Bell awards Excerpt from Key Note Speech

Sardar R. P. Singh National Secretary BJP

In the context of growth story of India, the transformation can only be achieved by creation of Indian society catalysed through innovation and creativity. This is particularly evident in the new order, with the most visionary and dynamic Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi at its helm. Plethora of initiatives namely, Digital India, Start-up India, Skill India etc., are all aimed at ushering in a new era where gen-next technology would enable whole of India to stand in the front row of nations with pride. I am happy to learn that the endeavour of Aegis Graham Bell Awards in promoting innovations at organisational, inter organisational and at national level will add edge to new technology induction in all sphere of activities. I applaud Aegis spearheading promotion of spirit of innovation since 2010, when the country was facing the challenge in digital growth and advance technology. Today, the fruits of advancement in technology is reaching millions of our citizens as exempliďŹ ed in the direct transfer of subsidies in the accounts of poor, for instance. Needless to say that consequent removal of pilferage has resulted in savings of thousands of crores for the exchequer. Such is the power of innovation in technology. I strongly believe that the best way to have a good idea is to have lot of ideas with adequate technological backup and Aegis is fairly successful in this endeavour. My heartiest congratulations to all the winners of 6th Annual Aegis Graham Bell Awards 2015 for their breakthrough innovations and I wish them many more successful ventures for the larger good of mankind, in future.

Bhupesh Daheria Managing Trustee, Aegis Knowledge Trust Founder, Aegis Graham Bell Awards

I share a common vision with you to develop India as a hub of innovation and entrepreneurship. We were often questioned about panache and endowment of our countrymen for being at power to the innovations of next Indian Google or Indian Microsoft. But, satirically those companies are lead by Indians. Being an entrepreneur, I always felt the need for recognizing innovators and entrepreneurs for their contribution as a ďŹ rst step towards building an innovation economy. These innovators live in dark without any recognition despite of the fact that they bring change in the life of millions. In 2010, we at Aegis realized that there was a need to have a platform to recognize such innovations and innovators and we came up with Aegis Graham Bell Awards. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a platform to provide recognition for the outstanding contributions in Telecom. We named this award as a tribute to the father of telephony, Alexander Graham Bell. As Alexander Graham Bell rightly said, "The most successful men in the end are those whose success is the result of steady accretion". This award grew from recognition in Telecom in 2010 to TIME (Telecom Internet, Media and Edutainment) in 2011 and subsequently to TIME & SMAC (Social, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud). I am humbled with this wholehearted industry support, trust and active participation in our journey.

Rajan S Mathews Director General Cellular Operators Association of India

It has been a privilege for COAI to be associated with the Aegis Graham Bell Awards, which has been doing a commendable job of promoting innovation and entrepreneurship in Telecommunication, Mobility, Analytics, Cloud, Security and rewarding those who have made outstanding contributions in these ďŹ elds.

We are moving towards a connected age, where everyone and everything will soon be connected to each other. Dreams of a Digital India and Smart Cities can only be realized with an innovative and inquisitive approach. During the ceremony in November last year, I had stressed how important it is to identify talented people to come up with better innovations in the ďŹ eld of telecom, internet, media & edutainment. The Aegis Graham Bell Awards does just that by encouraging the youth to put in their best and at the same time contribute to the country's economic growth.

I am sure the participation will only continue to grow in terms of both quality and quantity and the awards will continue to live up to the name of Alexander Graham Bell, after whom they have been ďŹ ttingly named

Category: Digital India Nomination Title: eHealth Center Solution Company: Hewlett Packard Enterprise The eHealth Center initiative leverages HPE expertise and technology to provide quality, affordable primary healthcare services to people living in resource-poor locations around the world. eHealth Center facilities—which can be transported by air, land, or rail—are designed to fit and deploy within a standard shipping container, or are retrofitted to work with a pre-existing clinic, depending on a community's existing infrastructure. They serve communities that often lack doctors, functional clinics, Internet access, or even electricity. Developed in partnership with the Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (India) and other reputable, leading healthcare providers and nongovernmental organizations (NGOs), eHealth Centers come fully equipped with key medical diagnostic equipment and HPE workstations, in addition to open electronic medical records (EMR) systems and HPE cloud-enabled technology. This groundbreaking framework allows on-site staff members to perform diagnostic tests and send results to doctors half a world away for a remote diagnosis, or consult off-site specialists in real time using the solution's integrated videoconferencing features. The HPE cloud solution also assists in collecting and analyzing data to further personalize the healthcare experience and facilitate community-wide health monitoring and management. The eHealth Center initiative demonstrates how we can bring 21stcentury healthcare to traditionally underserved populations and encourage a healthier, more vibrant global community. ·

Fully functional eHealth Centers can be set up at a fraction of the cost required to deploy traditional PHCs and subcenters.

Easy-to-deploy infrastructures can be housed in either one or two standard shipping containers, or within pre-existing clinics or comparable facilities.

Each eHealth Center is customized and fully equipped with diagnostic equipment, HP workstations, and cloud-enabled technology like the HP health cloud, dashboard, and videoconferencing features.

The solution provides the tools necessary to perform routine tests and send results to physicians and specialists around the globe for remote diagnosis offsite— services that would not otherwise have been available or affordable.

eHealth Centers are staffed by skilled nurses or paramedics who use the solution's videoconferencing capabilities to consult with physicians in a partnering hospital—bringing specialized expertise to regions with signiﬁcant shortages of doctors and healthcare workers.

If patients need treatment beyond the scope of an eHealth Center, nurses or medics can refer them to a partnering healthcare facility or hospital—ensuring high-quality, end-to-end care.

Category: Social Pay Nomination Title: Ping Pay Company: Axis Bank The underlying philosophy at Axis Bank is to create solutions that best meets the customers’ needs leveraging our big data capabilities. There has been a tremendous upsurge in the amount of time spent on the social media in recent times. However, our analysis showed that the conversations did not relate much to banking. The key challenge for us was to – • Be where the customer is • Make Banking intuitive and simple This meant that Axis Bank had to provide a solution across multiple social media platforms along with a user experience comparable with the best apps in the markets and not merely better than other banking applications. This led to the creation of Axis Bank Ping Pay which made transferring money easy and intuitive with an application that is gesture based and communicative. The app is a multi-social payment application using which one can send or ask money and recharge using WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, e-Mail and SMS and at the same time lets the user send fun messages, video, audio and pictures while transacting. The following features were incorporated to create an augmented offering to the customer • Consolidation of social channels – Existing social apps integrate with 1/2 platforms and hence limits customer’s freedom. Hence the need for a multi-social payment application integrated with WhatsApp, Facebook, Twitter, e-mail and SMS. • No Beneﬁciary registration – The user merely needs to connect to contacts without the need to know the Bank details. • Instant fund transfer – Ping Pay works on IMPS functionality which is regulated by NPCI and the transactions are instant and available 24X7. • Simple Registration Process – Banking apps typically suffer from a cumbersome onboarding process leading to a drop-off in the count of users compared to the count of downloads. In Ping Pay, we have tried to make the process as simple and seamless as possible. One such example is in Android devices, the OTP is picked up and the user need not manually type in the OTP • Adding context to transactions “Say and Pay” – Most transactions are for friends and family. We have tried to emulate typical discussions around receiving / sending money with quirky messages, pictures, videos and audio keeping in mind our target customers.
