US-based BONbLOC, a leading provider of SaaS (Software as a Service) solutions for specific industries using blockchain, Internet of Things and data science technologies, has opened its Vijayawada hub at Medha Towers (Gannavaram) here.

It marks a significant milestone in BONbLOC’s strategic expansion across India, said BONBLOC CEO Souri Govindarajan. On the occasion, he announced the inauguration of SPOTBUS IoT devices in five APSRTC buses at Vijayawada, Guntur, Kakinada, Visakhapatnam and Tirupati on August 15 in alignment with the Stree Shakti scheme of free bus travel for women. 

These devices enable real-time tracking and route optimisation, enhanced safety and monitoring, and data-driven insights for fleet management.

The company has plans to invest in the Vijayawada Hub over the next 24 months, aimed at infrastructure, talent acquisition and technology enablement.

Its future goals include launching a Centre of Excellence for Supply Chain and Compliance Technologies in line with the AP IT and Global Capability Centre (GCC) Policy (4.0) 2024–2029, partnering with local academic institutions for skill development and internships, and driving regional employment, thereby contributing to AP digital economy.
