Two separate lists of the donors and the recipients were published by the poll panel on its website after the details were submitted to it by the State Bank of India earlier in the day as per a Supreme Court order.

The first one - Keventer Agro, the largest FMCG company in East India that offers packaged, dairy and fresh food products. Keventer employed numerous Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) vendors. Each vendor worked independently at the assigned location on a distinct ERP platform. The distinct operations led to non-uniformity in processes, and impacted reporting and compliance procedures with manually generated statements. The second one - Larsen &amp; Toubro (L&amp;T), the multinational conglomerate with revenues exceeding $21 billion. L&amp;T was having challenges with transparency across the sales cycle and was struggling to support a digital-ready sales team that could sell from anywhere for L&amp;T-NxT, a digital start-up. None of these challenges are unique to these companies. Organisations often tend to use multiple applications to do their work, leading to disparate transactions, static products and siloed data that resides in fragmented, monolithic software suites. This introduces inefficiencies and conflicts. Microsoft is working with enterprises in India to help change this. Praveen Mellacheruvu, Business lead – <keyword id="123470" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="business-applications" source="Orion">Business Applications</keyword>, Microsoft, said, “Business Applications tend to become complex and not easy to use, creating an extensive learning cycle and adoption journey for enterprises. Data ends up being siloed when an enterprise uses an IT architecture that involves multiple such products from various vendors. At Microsoft, our aim is to bring this data together in multiple ways, to build rich insights and enable decision making.” One example, he said, is the concept of collaborative apps where team members can work on Dynamics 365 directly in Teams without even having to access Dynamics 365 directly. Another area of focus for Mellacheruvu and his teams is to work with organisations in transforming their sales and service functions. Modernising these functions is helping customers significantly enhance the effectiveness of their sales and service teams, helping them drive better customer experience. With AI-based tools like Dynamics 365 Customer Insights, enterprises can build a much better understanding and a 360 view of their customers, helping them serve their customers, Mellacheruvu argued. Both the companies cited as examples in the beginning leveraged <keyword id="3747797" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="microsoft-dynamics-365" source="Orion">Microsoft Dynamics 365</keyword> in the process. Keventer Agro has reduced the client software footprint by leveraging the Microsoft platform, which has led to distinctive benefits such as a unified platform with streamlined workflows and processes across the whole business. L&amp;T-NxT rolled out Microsoft Dynamics 365 Sales, Marketing, and Sales Insights in just 26 days during the global COVID-19 crisis, ensuring uninterrupted business operations. L&amp;T-NxT benefitted from better management of leads, increased sales agility and access to holistic data in one place, ensuring that its global sales force could easily access comprehensive customer history and other information from any location. Quite naturally, Microsoft has seen an uptick in the adoption of Dynamic 365 technologies. “Globally, companies like Cracker Barrel and Unilever predict disruptions using our technology. Businesses like Heineken and Siemens leverage Dynamics 365 for personalised customer engagement and service. Another example is L’oreal, which installed and managed manufacturing equipment remotely using Microsoft Dynamics 365 Remote Assist on HoloLens 2 – the mixed-reality smart glass.” Businesses are looking at immediate and tangible business outcomes from their investments, said Mellacheruvu. And the tech giant has been making efforts to ensure this. “For example, Dynamics 365 for Customer Service reduces customer complaints by 80% and Dynamics 365 for Sales shortens the sales cycle by 3 months. This delivery of business value has helped us see increased adoption.” Dynamics365 and Power Platform are used by 500,000 organisations and 97% of Fortune 500 companies, he said. More than 4,500 organisations now use Dynamics 365 Commerce, Finance, and Supply Chain Management. The industrial metaverse is another opportunity that Microsoft is actively tapping into, using technologies such as IOT, Digital Twins, Dynamics 365 Connected Spaces, and Mixed Reality applications. “There has been a radical change in how, when and where people work in today’s highly distributed workplace. People want simple ways to collaborate and work from anywhere they want and Microsoft’s focus is to enable just that,” Mellacheruvu summed up.

<ul><li>Considering that we are still fighting a global pandemic, brands tried to tread the line between humorous and insensitive campaigns this year.</li><li>So, from <keyword id="6361865" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="volkswagen">Volkswagen</keyword> (Voltswagen) to <keyword id="11029505" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="ola-airpro">Ola AirPro</keyword>, here are a few April Fool’s Day campaigns that almost had us fooled!</li></ul>With COVID cases on the rise again, we are all looking for a comic relief. This April Fool’s Day, brands have got your back. On the first day of April, brands usually pull a prank on their consumers by launching fake products, misdirect them into hoaxes or simply remind them to not be a fool. This year too, brands did not disappoint. They used their marketing campaigns to help their consumers giggle or drive home a bigger message through their pranks. On the other hand, experts applauded Google’s decision to put pause on its April Fool’s prank this year. The tech giant aims to express its solidarity with the healthcare workers and the grieving families recovering from the loss of loved ones. To help you forget the bigger prank life is pulling on all of us, here are a few light-hearted campaigns that caught our attention and made us laugh: Ola As fuel prices skyrocketed this year, Ola decided to launch a fully autonomous electric flying car called ‘Ola AirPro.’ The car is so light that you can lift it with one hand and you won’t ever need to worry about finding the perfect parking spot and worry about poor urban planning. Over the years, Ola has almost always played a prank on its users on April Fool’s starting from announcing Ola newsroom to Ola Restroom. With its clever campaigns, the brand never fails to drive home a bigger message and comment on the ever-changing socio-political environment. <div type="twitter" handle="bhash" handlename="Bhavish Aggarwal" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1133256267340713984/UaxcE0fi_normal.jpg" favoritecount="2298" retweetcount="555" status="Excited to unveil the world’s first and only fully autonomous electric flying car.

This campaign will make you ponder upon a lot of bad decisions that you have made in your life. At least we took an unwanted trip down the unpleasant memory lane. MTV India’s April Fool’s Day campaign is an eye-opening comment on unrealistic standards that our parents often set for us. It is about those parents who make your life, career and relationship decisions for you. “So, this April Fool’s Day, raise a toast with MTV and have a laugh for being the fools we never intended to be,” reads its caption. <div type="javascript" title="Instagram" contenttype="Video"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> <keyword id="8681398" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Urban-Company">Urban Company</keyword> Ever made the mistake of snoozing your alarm and barely made it to your 9 am Zoom call?

Carmaker Volkswagen published a press release announcing that its US operations will be changing its name to ‘Voltswagen.’ The move, read the release, was to signify the company’s commitment to electrifying its fleet. However, the auto giant has now announced that it was just a prank. <div type="twitter" handle="VW" handlename="Volkswagen" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1247872762317766657/oco3obe0_normal.jpg" favoritecount="6786" retweetcount="1978" status="We know, 66 is an unusual age to change your name, but we’ve always been young at heart.

Shake it up for its fans with some well-intentioned fun, 'cos “Bura Na Mano, Holi Hai”. Keventers launched a limited time period ‘Bhang Flavoured Milkshake’, on the eve of the Holi long weekend; with a reveal on April Fool’s Day of how they had orchestrated a well-timed and aptly themed prank around a product that didn't really exist. The result of the campaign was to get more eyeballs and create social media chatter around the Bhang Flavoured Milkshake. It also gave the brand an opportunity to engage with existing audiences and reach out to new ones, while reminding them that Keventers is a brand that has a personality, a sense of humour, and a penchant for experimentation. The brand’s page saw a week-on-week jump in profile visit by 60%+ increase and its impressions hiked by 500%+. It also received 2K+ calls in their outlets across the country just asking for Bhang Flavoured Milkshake. <div type="javascript" title="Instagram" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[ ]]></cdata></div> Ixigo Turbulence is a major cause of anxiety for travellers. So, this April Fool's, Ixigo decided to launch a smart seat that makes its travellers' trip turbulence-free. According to Ixigo, its anti-turbulence cushion is a result of our groundbreaking research in gyro sensors, hydraulic pistons and industry-grade shock absorption. With applied learnings from car suspension systems, earthquake resistance technology and NASA following their robotic suspension for the Mars rovers. Marking the company's foray into the air cushion packaging market, anti-turbulence cushion has already received 1,500 registrations. <div type="Youtube" id="Ilh1xVGOmBk" title="ixigo smart seat - anti turbulence cushion" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Ilh1xVGOmBk/mqdefault.jpg"></div>
