With more than 16000 street lights installed across the city, the monitoring and maintenance of these street lights were both tedious and repetitive. Jamshedpur’s civil twilight starts at 6:30 PM and enters through the night at 8:00 PM to end at 5:30 AM. This meant that JUSCO need not operate the street lights at 100 percent efficiency all throughout the scheduled operating time.

  • Group CHRO, Tata Sons
    Tata Network Forums Global updates November 2017 S Padmanabhan Group CHRO, Tata Sons From the Desk of the Group CHRO, Tata Sons These are exciting times for the Tata group. Companies are increasingly coming together to leverage the Tata ecosystem to learn from each other, and deal with common issues. Tata Network Forums (TNFs) are increasingly playing an important role in enabling companies to come together and seek solutions to common issues. A case in point was the TNF MENA meeting which took place to address the diplomatic situation in the Gulf, when Arab nations cut off ties with Qatar. Tata companies came together at Dubai using the TNF MENA to understand the impact on their businesses and plan for mitigation measures. In the past six months, TNFs also enabled companies to seek knowledge and share best practices in various areas like Customer, HR, Ethics, Business Excellence, Digitisation, Communications, Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability. I must mention that the Tata Sustainability Group is increasingly utilising the TNF forum to spread its messages through the Tata Sustainability month celebrations and other workshops. Sustainability events featured in most TNFs across the world in the past two quarters. All these TNF events brought together many more Tata employees during these past few months, which is proof of the growing popularity of the TNFs. The reach and impact of TNF activities is gradually building, and I am sure that it will achieve greater heights in the coming times. As the Tata group celebrates its one-ness, TNFs will be able to connect many more employees and enable the proliferation of knowledge and best practices.
