TNQTech

: a month of hacking, training, learning! A big thank you to our customers from The American Chemical Society who visited us at our headquarters in Chennai, and took the time to recognise the team members working on their content, as part of our Rewards & Recognition programme.

Cementing our commitment to responsible and secure use of AI technologies, we are among the first in our industry to have begun our journey towards the ISO/IEC 42001 certification, the international standard for Artificial Intelligence Management Systems. In an important milestone, 20 members from our cross-functional steering committee have become Certified Lead Implementers.

And in an effort to explore real-world applications of AI for internal transformation, our annual caffeine-powered 10-hour Hackathon saw our teams building working prototypes around the theme ‘GenAI in Action: Beyond the Hype’. More on this soon.

We also hosted discovery sessions pre-Hackathon, where Product and Design shared insights with the larger teams. Elsewhere, as temperatures rise across India, our offices are keeping things cool with traditional earthen pots serving refreshing buttermilk!

Happy from the books teams at and Lumina Datamatics!

Steered by in-house editorial coordinators and project managers, a day in the life of this team involves manuscript screening and tagging, copy editing, graphics, cover designing, illustrations, sorting out permissions, indexing, author management, online loading, and typesetting among other detailed tasks.

Our books divisions also support the full content lifecycle - from programme development and instructional design, to print and digital delivery for some of the world's largest publishers. Together, we work on over 1.5 million pages a year, across K–12, higher education, academic, professional, trade, and STEM books.

We’re so proud of our 1200+ strong books teams who play a crucial role behind-the-scenes, working on each book for between 3 and 8 months!

January : It has been a busy start to the year. We had the pleasure of hosting Vijay Tewary who spent time with the Sage team at TNQTech, celebrating their hard work and congratulating them for going above and beyond in 2024. We appreciated the Sage goodie bags!

We also hosted Olga Tchivikova, MBA, Stewart Gardiner, and Ramesh Munuswamy from the Taylor & Francis Group, showing them around our office and introducing them to our data, design, and product approaches.

Our R&D team explored low-code approaches for prompt-based LLMs with cross-learning sessions between domain experts and our data science team, while our Product team partnered with The Product Folks for another event.

Our Admin team marked with quizzes and activities. We want to take a moment to applaud our safety champions - our fantastic transport team and drivers who get us to and from the office safely every day, never taking their eyes off the road!

Across our offices we marked Traditional Outfit Day donning our best veshtis and sarees, and our HR team packed Fun Fridays with laughter and good vibes.

'TechFLIP', short for Focused Learning & Inspired Performance is a programme created by TNQTech's L&D team to flip the script on long-term learning in the organisation. Here, the leaders do the learning, with the agenda set by the learners.

The modules in this programme were designed to equip our technology leaders with the skills they need to manage their teams and their customer-facing roles, and the confidence to do it all well.

We want to congratulate our fantastic who spent a tremendous amount of time and effort learning, and then demonstrating their learning with a case study presented to a panel. The winning team blew us away with their presentation - well done to Sankar, Jeevitha, Ganesh, and Vishnu!

A shout out to our Learning & Development team for delivering such an impactful programme. Over 6 months, these workshops covered leadership communication, problem-solving methodologies, and analytical frameworks. The teams were assigned real-life scenarios that tested their ability to collaborate, analyse, and propose actionable solutions.

: A month of new opportunities and huge milestones for us. In early December we celebrated with a grand, traditional South Indian feast at our offices to mark our new journey with Lumina Datamatics.

A shout-out to our talented team members who won awards at our ceremony. Congratulations to our Chief Information Security Officer Prabhakar Ramakrishnan who won the Best CISO Award by AVAR Asia.

Our Product team partnered with The Product Folks to host an insightful event, while our Learning and Development team worked with our Tech managers on management upskilling workshops. We closed 2024 with a year-end town hall on a rainy afternoon, complete with hot chai.

We can't wait to see what 2025 has in store for us.
