Hyderabad Realtor’s Organs Donated Through Jeevandan, Saves Lives

A noble gesture from a grieving family has helped save lives in Hyderabad.

The family of 53-year-old realtor Guntakandla Karunakar Reddy from Rangareddy district donated his organs after he was declared brain dead at a private hospital in Hyderabad.

Karunakar Reddy, a resident of Chintalakunta, collapsed at his home on the morning of March 3 and was rushed to a hospital in the city. Despite receiving emergency treatment, his condition did not improve, and doctors declared him brain dead on Thursday.

In a courageous decision during a time of grief, his wife Swapna consented to donate his organs under the State-run Jeevandan organ donation initiative. Surgeons successfully retrieved his lungs and liver, which were allocated to patients in urgent need.

This selfless act highlights the life-saving impact of organ donation and the importance of initiatives like Jeevandan in giving hope to those awaiting transplants. 🙏

The Hartford launches first Global Technology Centre in Hyderabad

Hyderabad: Hyderabad has become the first home of The Hartford in India with the launch of the company’s first-ever Global Technology Centre (GTC) in the city. The facility was formally announced by Telangana Industries Minister D. Sridhar Babu on Monday.

Marking The Hartford’s maiden entry into India, the Global Technology Centre spans 1,60,000 square feet and is located in the Financial District, Hyderabad. The centre will focus on artificial intelligence, digital innovation, and engineering excellence, supporting the company’s global technology transformation initiatives.

Designed to operate in a start-up-like environment, the centre will enable rapid prototyping, agile development, and seamless cross–time-zone collaboration with The Hartford’s technology hubs in the United States, including Hartford, Charlotte, Chicago, and Columbus.

The facility is expected to scale to a workforce of nearly 1,200 employees over the next few years as it expands advanced digital, engineering, and AI-led capabilities for the organisation worldwide.

Speaking on the occasion, Sridhar Babu said The Hartford’s decision to begin its India journey in Hyderabad follows a familiar global trend.
“When Microsoft expanded beyond the United States, its first major development centre outside the U.S. was built in Hyderabad. When Google entered India, it chose Hyderabad for its largest campus outside Mountain View,” he said.

He added that in recent years, global majors such as McDonald’s, Vanguard, Dai-ichi Life, and Marriott International have also made Hyderabad their entry point into India, setting up Global Capability Centres that drive advanced digital engineering, AI-led operations, and global capability building.

Training held for poll officers ahead of Jubilee Hills by-election

Hyderabad, Oct 29
In preparation for the upcoming Jubilee Hills Assembly by-election, the Hyderabad District Election Officer (DEO) and GHMC Commissioner R V Karnan emphasised the crucial role of Presiding Officers (POs) and Assistant Presiding Officers (APOs) in ensuring a free, fair and transparent polling process.

Addressing officials at a training session held at G. Narayanamma Institute of Technology and Science, Shaikpet, Karnan said all polling staff must have a clear understanding of their duties and responsibilities and should discharge them with complete neutrality and integrity.

Nearly 500 officials attended the session conducted in two batches. The training included hands-on demonstrations on the use of Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs)—Ballot Units (BUs), Control Units (CUs), and VVPAT systems.

The DEO instructed that each polling station would be equipped with four BUs, one CU and one VVPAT, given that 59 candidates, including NOTA, are contesting in the by-poll. He urged officers to thoroughly study the Presiding Officer’s Handbook issued by the Election Commission of India (ECI) and prepare checklists for polling-day activities, including verification of materials, voter lists and machines.

Election Police Observer Om Prakash Tripathi and Expenditure Observer Sanjeev Kumar Lal inspected the training and advised officials to adhere strictly to ECI guidelines to maintain transparency and credibility in the electoral process.
