Polestar Solutions, the leading data analytics and enterprise performance management company, unveiled its 2.0 version announcing a decade-long journey of analytics excellence, a new brand identity and geographical expansion to accelerate its future growth.
The new brand identity emphasizes minimalism and consistency to represent the company's identity and values. The wordmark in the logo conveys a sense of confidence through strong geometric forms while the letter A is deliberately replaced with a star, or in this case the polestar – that has age old significance as the guiding star – that aims to lead the way for Polestar Solutions. This reflects a sense of connection and guidance as the company enables its customers to embark on their digital transformation journeys.
The intent behind the rebranding is to differentiate Polestar within the industry through a connected understanding of its strategic advantage and its ability to address clients' needs by bringing out the most sophisticated insights from their data in a value-oriented manner.
"It has been a remarkable journey thus far, and has taken us ten years of hard work, laser-like focus and steadfastness to cover the distance from lab to land. As we gear up for the next phase of our growth plans, we need a stronger identity that can boldly carry us forward into an exciting digital-first future. The new brand positioning comes as Polestar adopts a challenger brand status and takes an innovative approach to building a global analytics brand. Additionally, with the opening of our new offices in high-growth geographies such as Kolkata and Bengaluru we have moved from a youth to mature phase and are ready to lead the way for digital transformation in these regions," said Chetan Alsisaria, CEO & Co-Founder, Polestar Solutions.
The rebranding comes on the heels of the company's tenth anniversary – at a time when it gears up for the next phase of its growth plans in India and the US.
The company recently opened new offices in the Salt Lake region of Kolkata, and Dooravani Nagar region of Bengaluru in India to accommodate its rapid growth and leverage the regions' diverse high-tech talent pool. With this geographical expansion, Polestar Solutions is also looking at enhancing its development and deployment capabilities for data analytics in these regions.
With its headquarters in Noida, India – Polestar Solutions now has offices across 5 cities – Kolkata, Mumbai, Bengaluru and Delaware (US).
Recently, Polestar Solutions featured in the Financial Times High Growth Companies Asia Pacific 2023 list for the fifth time in a row. In 2022, Polestar Solutions was selected as Red Herring Global 100 Winner among other notable industry quadrants. In 2021, the company featured in the Economic Times India's Growth Champions 2021 and Forrester Now Tech: Customer Analytics Service Providers, Q2 2021.

Globenewswire | May 10, 2023
ThoughtSpot, the AI-Powered Analytics company, today announced the launch of ThoughtSpot Monitor for Mobile, a new mobile first analytics experience that allows users to stay on top of their critical business KPIs on the go, from any mobile device during Beyond, the company’s annual customer conference, alongside a major update to the company’s platform and extending support for Office 365 with ThoughtSpot for Excel.
Every organization today wants to build its business on data, relying on intelligent, relevant information to guide decisions. Too often, however, critical insights remain buried in data until it’s too late because users don’t know which questions to ask to unearth changes in the data as they happen. Instead, many decisions are made on gut instinct, without data-driven insights. Analytics are used to provide a retroactive explanation of what happened, instead of a proactive view of what is happening, why it is happening, what will likely happen next, and what leaders should do about it.
With Monitor for Mobile, users are in the driver's seat with their data, wherever they are. By simply downloading ThoughtSpot Mobile from the Apple or Google Play stores, users will have access to the Monitor for Mobile feature to get insights on the go, right from their mobile device, without even having to ask for them. Once data teams set up the right data models and infrastructure, Monitor brings all that value to business users seamlessly. Users simply subscribe to specific KPIs and metrics that matter the most to them, and Monitor automatically pushes notifications to their mobile device when these metrics change, letting customers stay as up to date on their business as possible.
Monitor uses AI to take this experience further with key driver analysis, so users know not only what changed, but why it changed, and can drill anywhere to ask their follow up questions and be delivered the same experience. The system analyzes hundreds of attributes behind each KPI, and leverages machine learning to identify what is driving the changes to these KPIs. With generative AI, the system then explains this change so users can easily understand both what changed and why it changed. Armed with this information, users can then take action to either avoid potential risks or capitalize on opportunities as they unfold, increasing decision making by 100x in the process.
“At CWT, one of our key objectives is to empower users to quickly make data-driven decisions. Integration of ThoughtSpot Monitor with our proprietary business intelligence tool enhances our customers’ ability to effectively manage KPIs and helps them to identify key change drivers. With Monitor, our users can ‘set and forget’ KPI alerts, allowing them to focus on more strategic objectives, while Monitor automates these time-consuming activities,” said Logan LaBonne, Senior Product Manager, Data & Analytics, CWT.
“This is an exciting announcement because it enables companies to use AI to monitor KPIs associated with strategic objectives in a business strategy and automatically understand the underlying driver metrics that explain why a KPI has changed. Furthermore, it can be used at all levels in the enterprise and so if deployed correctly, could potentially enable guided mass contribution to common business goals,” said Mike Ferguson, Managing Director, Intelligent Business Strategies.
“The analytics industry for years has promised to help companies bring insights to every decision to drive better outcomes, delight customers, and improve the bottom line. We believe delivering on this promise requires using AI to break from the status quo of drag and drop desktop tools. Customers need a fundamentally new approach to analytics built on AI, where insights come to users where they are, before they even ask for them,” said Sumeet Arora, Chief Development Officer, ThoughtSpot. “With Monitor for Mobile, you have the power of your data team in your pocket, proactively letting you know the health of your business, not after something happens, but as it happens, with an explanation of why it is happening. It’s been incredibly exciting to see our customers use this capability to act in the moment, and capture real business value in the process.”
Monitor for Mobile is currently in preview and will be available on mobile app stores in the coming months. You can learn more here, or try ThoughtSpot for free today.
