The Crayon Newsletter v09.22

Now that September has ended, and we're all awake (thanks for the reminder, Green Day), it's time for another edition of the Crayon Newsletter.

Through the month, we were thrilled to find Crayon Data being recognized across multiple media platforms.

• Founder and CEO Suresh V Shankar spoke to The New Indian Express on our growth plans, our flagship platform maya.ai, and more.
• He also shared his thoughts on the Metaverse in Khaleej Times and Al-Bayan.
• With Arabian Reseller, Suresh and Santiago D. , our VP of Program Management, spoke about the need for AI-led data analytics in business intelligence and its long-term impact.
• In a conversation with ET HR World, our VP of Human Resources, Naveen S Pillai , discussed the tech we used to help Crayons collaborate through the pandemic.

Suresh was also a panelist at the Global Women's Trade Summit 2022?in Singapore. ?'Resilience in Business Sustainability' was the topic of discussion - and no one knows resilience better than Crayon! Head here for highlights from his talk.
