Munich firm Celonis to cash in on India's GCC prowess
Alexander Rinke, Co-Founder & Co-CEO, Celonis said India was emerging as world's epicentre of process-powered enterprise AI and Celonis was currently engaged with over 150 GCCs in India, including that of Dell Technologies, Wells Fargo, Mercedes-Benz, Siemens, Merck and ABB, to name a few.
'We have built strong partnerships with leading system integrators like TCS, PwC, EY, Deloitte, and Capgemini in India. We are also deeply invested in the academic ecosystem here. More than 130,000 learners across nearly 340 Indian universities have already engaged with our Celonis Academy. For us, India is not just a market but a hub of innovation, talent, and community,'' he told The Hindu.
He said process mining was a way to understand how businesses worked by extracting data from their systems by visualising how processes actually flow. Most companies have a general idea of how things should work, but the reality is often quite different. ''Process mining reveals that gap. Process intelligence is built on that foundation. It combines the raw process data with business context to create what we call a living digital twin of your operations. This gives you full transparency and a shared language across departments to spot inefficiencies, remove friction, and take action,'' Mr. Rinke explained.
He said Celonis' Process Intelligence Platform, through Process Mining, was capable of creating business context for its clients and offering them a digital twin of their business operations.
''It's a system-agnostic, bias-free platform that provides a common language for understanding and improving how a business runs. It is the key enabler for companies to maximise the ROI from their AI investments,'' Mr. Rinke claimed.
Mr. Rinke was in India at the opening of Celonis' Garage, an innovation hub in Bengaluru which collaborates with ecosystem partners comprising customers, technology partners, startups and academic institutions to identify, validate and incubate ideas that can evolve into scalable solutions for global enterprises.

ED raids against Bengaluru group in homebuyers ‘fraud' case
Bengaluru: The Enforcement Directorate on Friday conducted searches against a Bengaluru-based real estate company and its promoters who are accused of duping home buyers worth crores of rupees in the name of selling them flats in their residential project, official sources said. At least ten premises of Ozone Urbana Developers Pvt. Ltd. and its key management personnel were raided in Bangalore and Mumbai under the Prevention of Money Laundering Act (PMLA), the sources said. The main promoter of the group is Satyamoorthi Vasudevan. The company and its promoters were booked by the ED after taking cognisance of multiple police FIRs registered against them related to a residential project named Ozone Urbana in Devanahalli Taluk of Bengaluru. The integrated township project was to be handed over to buyers in 2018. However, till 2024, only 49 per cent of the project was completed, the sources said. The company 'failed' to hand over the project and has neither returned the money to the buyers, they claimed. It is alleged that the accused company and its key management personnel 'cheated' gullible home buyers by promising to pay their bank EMIs (taken for purchase of homes) until completion of the project. The company also promised many buyers 'huge' discounts, if they pay full amount in advance against the bookings and it also allegedly lured them with a 'buyback scheme'. It is alleged that the directors of the said company cheated its buyers collectively to the tune of hundreds of crores and misappropriated the funds, the ED sources said.
