Protean, a leading information technology solutions provider, has been honoured with the prestigious Golden Peacock Innovative Product/Service Award for its pioneering work on Open Digital Networks (ODN) Infrastructure.
The annual Golden Peacock Awards, instituted by the Institute of Directors (IOD) India in 1991, are globally recognized as a benchmark of corporate excellence. Protean's citizen-centric and scalable e-governance solutions, especially the Open Digital Networks Infrastructure, earned it this coveted accolade at a glittering ceremony attended by industry captains and dignitaries.
Protean's ODN stack, comprising Registry, Gateway and Reconciliation components, leverages existing telecom infrastructure and smartphones to enable direct seller-buyer interactions. This disruptive model empowers businesses of all sizes, fosters economic growth and social cohesion by ensuring reasonable pricing and unprecedented choice for customers.
The award acknowledges Protean's robust innovation process backed by institutional support, cross-functional teams and a culture promoting knowledge management. Unlocking new business opportunities, reducing income inequalities and promoting sustainability, ODN has already demonstrated substantial socio-economic impact. Protean forecasts significant revenue growth from ODN across multiple sectors within 4-5 years of its launch.
The Golden Peacock award is a testament to Protean's vision of creating innovative solutions that transform lives with immense potential for economic empowerment and inclusive growth. As a torchbearer of technological excellence, the company’s latest honour sets a benchmark for fostering corporate leadership and innovation in the digital era.
