VINOD MATHEWS Accelerating Growth in the Automated Test Equipment Industry

The automated test equipment (ATE) industry is experiencing unprecedented growth, fueled by the complex nature and the surging demand of electronics with a relentless focus on quality. Today, ATE plays a crucial role in ensuring functionality and reliability—from smartphones to advanced avionics to the Defence sector. While the ATE industry from its very nascent stage experienced a steady growth, the current projections expect the market to reach a whooping USD $8.8 billion by 2027, according to Markets and Markets.

The opportunities are brewing, and this change is exciting. A visionary who stands at the helm of this change is the Founder & CEO of Safran Data Systems India (formerly Captronic Systems,) Mr. Vinod Mathews.

In the year 1999, embracing his pioneering entrepreneurial spirit and expertise, he founded the company. Today, he is not just navigating growth – he's been driving it, establishing Safran Data Systems India as the most-well recognized name in the market.

In three decades, the company has expanded to the Aerospace, Automotive and Defence sectors, providing custom-built ATE solutions tailored to meet evolving demands.

Vinod Mathews’ leadership has been pivotal in positioning Safran Data Systems India as a prominent name in the ATE landscape—making him one of the most inuential leaders to watch in 2024.

How to Run a Health Awareness Campaign?

Many of us always pray to God to give us a healthy life. In my teenage years, I didn’t understand this prayer. However, with growing age, I understood the importance of health. An unhealthy person goes through the pain of ailment. They depend on others whereas a healthy person is more active and productive.

We are living in a fast-paced life in which everyone is stressed out. Environmental pollution, stress, and the agony of life have resulted in the formation of many ailments. A few years back old people were more prone to disease but at present, we nd many young people suffering from many diseases such as anxiety, depression, blood pressure, sugar, and many more. What is the solution to save our new generation from these ailments? The answer is running a health awareness campaign.

If you are working in an NGO and you want to create awareness about health campaigns in your country then you can run the campaign without any communication barriers. However, the problem comes when you want to run a healthcare awareness campaign in different countries. Worry not. You can solve the problem of the communication barrier by taking assistance from healthcare translation services.

Objective of the Health Campaign

You must have seen health campaigns that are tailored to specic diseases. For example, the month of October is dedicated to create awareness regarding breast cancer. Different health campaigns are run to create awareness for different diseases. However, the objective of every campaign is to improve public health.
