The company, in the last 2.5 months, has alerted close to 252 million unique customers to these suspicious calls and has observed that there has been a 12% decline in the number of customers answering them. Six per cent of all calls on the Airtel network have been identified as spam calls, while 2% of all SMSes have also been identified as spam. Interestingly, it has been observed that a staggering 35% of the spammers have used landline telephones.

Additionally, customers in Delhi have received the maximum number of spam calls, followed by customers in Andhra Pradesh and Western Uttar Pradesh. Delhi is also where a maximum number of the spam calls have originated, followed by Mumbai and Karnataka. In terms of SMSes, the maximum number have originated in Gujarat followed by Kolkata and Uttar Pradesh and the maximum number of customers targeted have been from Mumbai, Chennai and Gujarat.

As per the trends, 76% of all spam calls have been targeted at male customers. Additionally, distinct differences have been noted in terms of spam call frequency across age demographics. Customers in the age bracket of 36-60 have received 48% of all spam calls, while those in the 26-35 age bracket have been the second-most targeted, accounting for 26% of spam calls. Approximately only 8% of the spam calls have landed in the handsets of senior citizens.

The company’s findings have also shed light on the hourly distribution of spam activity. Spam calls commence from 9 am onwards and gradually escalate in volume as the day progresses. The peak of spam activity is observed between noon and 3 pm, during which the highest concentration of spam calls occur. Moreover, there is a notable disparity in the frequency of spam calls between weekdays and weekends. The volume of these calls diminishes by around 40% on Sundays. Specifically, devices in the price range of 15,000 to 20,000 rupees are the recipients of approximately 22% of all spam calls.

By meticulously examining a multitude of parameters, the AI-driven system has been able to identify these unwanted intrusions in real-time with remarkable accuracy. This groundbreaking initiative has firmly established Airtel as the first service provider in India to offer a comprehensive solution to the growing menace of spam, setting new industry standards for inclusive security measures that prioritise the privacy and convenience of its vast customer base.

The Government of India (GoI) has allocated 10-digit numbers with the prefix 160 to for service and transactional calls. Customers can expect to receive calls from these 160-prefix series assigned to banks, mutual funds, insurance companies, stockbrokers, other financial institutions, corporates, enterprises, SMEs, big and small businesses used for making transactional and service calls.

Additionally, those customers who have not opted for Do-not-disturb (DND) and have subscribed to receiving promotional calls will continue to receive them from a 10-digit number with the prefix 140.

The cornerstone of this collaboration is the introduction of a two- to four-semester-long credit program focusing on industry-specific subjects. The Volvo Group will actively support this initiative by training faculty members, sending industry experts as trainers, sharing the use cases/industrial problem statements for projects, conducting guest lectures, participating in co-teaching of the subjects, Tech Demo
Centre, Joint Publications, Joint research initiatives, and higher studies for Volvo employees.  To promote diversity in the automotive industry, Volvo Group will offer scholarships to female students in these programs.

This collaboration ensures students gain hands-on experience with the tools and technologies used by the Volvo Group, preparing them to contribute to real-world projects from day one. It also provides Volvo Group with access to top talent through internships and pre-placement offers, minimizing competition during campus recruitment. The partnership fosters joint research, giving Volvo Group employees access to cutting-edge knowledge and enabling them to tackle industry challenges. Additionally, this association will support higher education of Volvo employees, offering opportunities to develop their expertise further and contribute to academic publications. 

Speaking on the occasion, Mr. Kamal Bali, Managing Director of Volvo Group India, said, “We are committed to fostering an environment where education and industry can intersect, paving the way for sustainable advancements. This collaboration is a vital step in shaping the future of our industry. By working closely with top universities, we ensure that students receive the training and exposure needed to excel in the rapidly evolving automotive sector. At the same time, Volvo Group gains access to the brightest minds, who will help drive our innovation and
growth in the years to come.  Through this partnership, we not only aim to develop cutting-edge solutions but also cultivate a talent pool that is well-equipped to tackle the challenges.”

The partnership underscores Volvo Group’s ongoing commitment to education and fostering long-term industry-academic collaboration. Through this initiative, the company aims to enhance the academic experience of students while providing them with the tools and opportunities to launch successful careers in the automotive industry. By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, this collaboration will equip students with essential skills and insights needed to thrive in a rapidly evolving market.

The TVC, conceptualized by Mullen Lintas, opens with a woman in a grocery store, asking Pankaj Tripathi, the shopkeeper, for Shuddha honey. Pankaj, with the iconic twinkle in his eye, hands her a jar of Saffola Honey and says, “Shukar hai Saffola Honey hai madam, Varnaa…” In that instant, the mundane store transforms into a lush forest. Vines creep up the walls, branches sprout, and Pankaj narrates the adventure of getting the purest honey: venturing into dense forest such as Sundarbans, crossing the Ganga River, and dodging the buzzing bees around. As the woman gazes in wonder, the scene transitions to a beehive nestled in the lush Sundarbans, where golden honey drips slowly into a jar. He draws her back from the enchanting Sundarbans to the reality of his store, concluding with, “Aap ko toh sirf humse maangna hai…Shuddha honey…Saffola Honey’’. With a smile, he hands her the Saffola Honey jar.

The TVC artfully highlights the dedication and effort involved in sourcing the purest honey, drawing a parallel to the brand’s process behind sourcing 100% Shuddha Saffola honey from pristine flora and Sundarbans. The light-hearted narrative and Pankaj Tripathi’s endearing presence convey the message that while obtaining pure honey might seem like a wild adventure, with Saffola Honey, you can enjoy the magic of Shuddha honey from Sundarbans and other natural flora and at your convenience.

Mr. Vaibhav Bhanchawat, Chief Operating Officer, India & Foods Business, Marico Ltd. stated, “Saffola Honey has always been synonymous with purity and quality. We are committed to delivering 100% Shuddha honey, made with honey sourced from Sunderbans and other natural flora to our consumers. With Pankaj Tripathi’s presence, we were able to capture the essence of our brand in a delightful and engaging manner, reflecting the credibility and purity inherent in his nature—qualities that resonate with Saffola Honey. We believe this campaign will connect with our consumers and further strengthen their trust in Shuddha Honey – Saffola Honey, making it their preferred choice.”

Speaking about his experience of being a part of the campaign, Mr. Pankaj Tripathi, Brand Ambassador, Saffola Honey said: ‘’I’m delighted to be associated with Saffola Honey Active, a brand that embodies purity and quality – just like my personality. For me, this TVC beautifully encapsulates the journey of sourcing pure honey, emphasizing the dedication and effort involved in ensuring its authenticity, something that matters deeply to me. It’s a light-hearted and delightful watch that perfectly reflects the brand’s commitment to offering its consumers the finest Shuddha honey.”

“Traditionally, purity of the highest order demands that high levels of effort be put in. Ours is a cheeky, contrarian take on a serious ‘source’ story. While Saffola Honey comes from the distant, mythical Sundarbans and other natural flora, consumers just need to walk up to their nearest Kirana store and ask for it. Easy-peasy. Pretty much like you can, today.” – Ram Cobain, Chief Creative Officer, Mullen Lintas.
