Coorg Policeman Treated for Flesh-Eating Infection at Fortis Bengaluru
Bangalore, 19 February 2025: Fortis Hospital Cunningham Road, Bengaluru, has successfully treated a 50-year-old police officer from Coorg, who was diagnosed with a severe diabetic foot infection complicated by necrotizing fasciitis (a rare and dangerous condition caused by flesh-eating bacteria). The patient, who had a history of heart issues and had undergone multiple cardiac procedure within the past month, benefited from an advanced surgical technique and specialized wound care. The patient’s limb was saved, and amputation was avoided because of the innovative procedure led by Dr. Santosh MP, Senior Consultant – General and Minimal Access Surgery at Fortis Hospital Cunningham Road, Bengaluru, along with Dr. Ramraj V N, Consultant, Surgical Gastroenterology, Fortis Hospital Cunningham Road, Bengaluru, and Dr. Yedin Chandra, Attending Consultant General Surgery, Fortis Hospital Cunningham Road, Bengaluru.
Patient Ravi (name changed) had been suffering from excruciating pain, fever, and swelling in his leg due to the diabetic foot infection. Despite undergoing multiple treatments, his condition deteriorated, and the infection spread to his joints and bones. Given his profession, which required him to retain full mobility, Ravi was determined to avoid amputation and sought treatment at Fortis Hospital Cunningham Road.
Upon admission, Ravi was diagnosed with diabetic foot complicated by necrotizing fasciitis, a life-threatening infection that rapidly damages soft tissue and can spread to bones. The infection’s swift progression posed a significant risk to both his life and limb. Dr. Santosh MP had recommended a comprehensive treatment plan that included surgeries to remove the dead tissue and use of antibiotic beads alongside IV antibiotics and vacuum-assisted closure (VAC) therapy—a new and innovative approach designed to promote faster healing while controlling the infection.
Speaking about the case, Dr. Santosh MP, Senior Consultant, General and minimal access surgery, Fortis Hospital Cunningham Road, Bengaluru, said, “This case was extremely challenging due to the extent the infection had spread, had already reached the joints and bones. We opted for a combination of antibiotic therapy and vacuum-assisted closure, which is an innovative technique for managing such severe infections. This approach allowed us to treat the infection effectively, minimize the need for further surgeries, and ultimately avoid amputation.”
Over the course of a month, Ravi underwent three surgeries, each aimed at addressing the infection, removing necrotic tissue, and promoting recovery. Following his final surgery, Ravi’s condition stabilised, and he was discharged in stable condition.
Mr. Chandrasekar R, Facility director, Fortis Hospital, Cunningham Road, added, “At Fortis Hospital, we are committed to providing advanced, personalized care for even the most complex cases. The successful treatment of this severe diabetic foot infection through innovative techniques such as vacuum-assisted closure and antibiotic bead therapy highlights our ability to manage life-threatening conditions with the latest medical advancements. This case is a testament to our team’s expertise and dedication to delivering the best possible outcomes for our patients.”
LIC Housing Finance Putting the Neighbour Back in Neighbourhoods
Mumbai, 19th Feb 2025: LIC Housing Finance Limited, India’s premier housing finance Company, has unveiled a new brand campaign. This latest campaign goes beyond the Company’s business of financing, focusing on an emotional premise relevant to all city-dwellers.
As our lives have become busier, our connection with a very important part of our lives has become weaker – our neighbours, those who stay closer to us. From a time when neighbours used to leave their doors open for each other, and children considered every home as good as their own, we are now reaching a stage where most people don’t even know who lives next door.
The name on the neighbour’s door has become only that – a name on the door.
Through this 5-video campaign supported by static media, LIC Housing Finance urges Indians to reconnect with their neighbours, to bond with them, to be there for them, to act like good neighbours do. The campaign line that summarises this thought is ‘Achche padosi milte nahin, bante hai’. You don’t just find good neighbours, you become good neighbours.
Mr Tribhuwan Adhikari, MD & CEO of LIC Housing Finance Limited, said of the campaign, “Our brand name exudes trust and relates with easy, affordable home finance solutions for India’s middle class. Through this campaign, we wanted to reinforce a core value that has always been a part of the Indian mind-set – that our neighbours are like our extended family. In these fast-changing times, holding on to that value is more important than ever.”
This thought will be expressed in 9 Indian languages, and broadcast across channels and digital media to reach homeowners across the length and breadth of the country.
The campaign, conceptualised and produced by De Works Communications Pvt. Ltd., a Mumbai-based agency, is directed by Nitin Mali and features some well-known actors, including Hiten Tejwani and Hetal Puniwala.

Research Alternative Data Goes Mainstream for Hedge Funds and Investors
19th February 2025: Hedge funds and other active Investment managers plan to further increase their use of alternative data for research and insights with geolocation and consumer spending data expected to see the biggest growth in demand, new research from leading alternative data platform Exabel and BattleFin shows.
The global study with hedge funds and other active investment managers and analysts working for fund management firms with total assets under management of $820 billion, found 86% expect to increase their use of alternative datasets over the next two years. All categories of data will see growing demand with 51% expecting dramatic increases in usage for geolocation data over the next three years and 50% dramatic increases in use of consumer spending data.
Exabel’s research report Alternative Data Buy-side Insights & Trends 2025 found all the managers and analysts questioned in the US, UK, Singapore and Hong Kong currently use alternative data in some form. Almost all (98%) agree that traditional data and official figures are becoming too slow in reflecting changes in economic activity.
Consumer spending datasets are seen as the most likely to provide an outsized informational edge in the near future, the study found. Around 75% questioned chose consumer spending data compared with 50% choosing Natural Language Processing (NLP) and sentiment while 45% selected social listening and 43% chose employment and people moves data. Just 7% selected satellite data.
The study found investment managers and analysts have built up experience using alternative data with 61% questioned saying they began using it three to five years ago, while nearly one in ten (9%) did so more than five years ago. Around 28% started using it a year to three years ago. Their experience of using it has been generally positive with 87% saying the process of using alternative data is good or excellent.
Andreas Aglen, President of Exabel said: “Institutional investors have embraced alternative data as a key source of differentiated insight and the demand for alternative data as a crucial component of alpha generation for institutional investors continues to accelerate.
“It is even more clear now that alternative data has gone mainstream, serving as a vital source of insights to investment managers around the world.”
