How Tredence is redefining enterprise AI with last-mile execution

Back in 2012, when founder and CEO Shub Bhowmick was working in technology and consulting services, he noticed that smart ideas looked great in PowerPoints and dashboards, but rarely translated into real business outcomes. This disconnect between insight and impact is what professionals call the ‘last mile problem’, and Bhowmick joined forces with Sumit Mehra and Shashank Dubey to find a solution.

In 2013, they founded Tredence, a data science solutions provider focused on solving the last-mile problem in AI.

“We wanted to build a company that combined strong domain knowledge, robust engineering, and first-principles problem solving to take analytics all the way to measurable value. We literally wrote this on a whiteboard in early 2013, and that became the foundation of Tredence,” Bhowmick tells YourStory.

How Launch Girls is helping girls in 16 countries own their economic futures

“I'm the first one from my village to be here.”

Neha Sahu has heard this sentence countless times, spoken by young women in college classrooms across rural India.

Unlike traditional interventions that celebrate such a milestone as the finish line, co-founders Averil Spencer and Neha Sahu see this statement as a starting point of a much longer journey.

Founded in 2020, Launch Girls helps adolescent girls in 16 countries develop skills, access economic opportunities, and challenge perceptions so they can shape their own futures.

After studying psychology and education in New York and working with public schools in the US, Sahu returned to India in 2010 with a question: why was the Indian education system so far behind?

Meet the women building climate resilience from the ground up in rural India

Across rural India, women are responding to climate change in various roles—as organisers, farmers, knowledge-keepers, and stewards of land and water. They are adjusting cropping patterns, reviving drying water bodies, documenting ecological loss, and bringing communities together to protect shared resources, often long before formal climate action plans reach their villages.

From Odisha’s cyclone-prone coast to the drought-stricken plains of Bundelkhand and the millet-growing villages of Karnataka, the women of these regions are shaping climate resilience in practical ways—through collective efforts deeply grounded in shared experiences.
