Truecaller AB, the Swedish caller ID and spam detection firm, is set to welcome Aruna Sundararajan, a seasoned technology and policy expert, to its board. The nomination, proposed by the company's Nomination Committee, will be voted on at the Annual General Meeting scheduled for May 23, 2025. Sundararajan's extensive experience in the tech sector and her pivotal roles in shaping India's digital and telecom policies mark her as a significant addition to Truecaller's governance team.

Sundararajan's career highlights include serving as the Secretary of the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY) and the Department of Telecommunications in India, where she was instrumental in policy-making for the telecom sector. Her leadership as Kerala's first IT Secretary, driving digital infrastructure and e-learning projects, further underscores her capability to contribute to Truecaller's strategic direction. Currently, she chairs the Broadband India Forum and holds advisory and directorial positions in several prominent organizations, including Delhivery Limited and L&T Technology Services Limited.

The Nomination Committee's proposal also includes the re-election of all current board members, ensuring continuity in Truecaller's leadership. Kamjar Hajabdolahi, Chairman of the Nomination Committee, expressed enthusiasm about Sundararajan's nomination, highlighting her potential to enhance the board's expertise in policy and regulatory matters, especially in technology. This move is seen as a step to bolster Truecaller's strategic depth amid its focus on digital trust and global expansion.

Aruna Sundararajan's appointment is expected to bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to Truecaller's board, particularly in navigating the complex regulatory landscapes of the tech and telecom sectors. Her independent status from the company and its major shareholders adds an unbiased perspective to the board's deliberations, aligning with best governance practices. As Truecaller continues to expand its footprint, Sundararajan's insights into digital transformation and policy frameworks will be invaluable in steering the company's future growth.

Casper Ruud captured the Stockholm Open title with a commanding 6-3, 6-2 victory over Ugo Humbert in a final that lasted just 68 minutes. The Norwegian second seed dominated throughout the match, dropping only two points on his serve in the first set and just one point in the second set. After breaking Humbert early in both sets, Ruud comfortably served out the match to claim his second title of 2025, following his earlier Masters 1000 victory in Madrid.

The victory came amid growing concerns about player welfare on the ATP Tour, highlighted by Holger Rune's season-ending injury during the tournament's semifinals. Rune had started strongly in Stockholm, reaching the semifinal round with victories over Marton Fucsovics and Tomas Martin Etcheverry before suffering a torn Achilles tendon that forced his withdrawal from the match against Humbert. The injury abruptly ended Rune's season, preventing his potential qualification for the season finale.

Ruud addressed the injury concerns in post-match comments, expressing frustration with the demanding tournament schedule. "It's very demanding when you go directly from tournament to tournament," Ruud stated. "Holger was in Shanghai last week, and when something is so demanding, something like this can unfortunately happen. We're all in some kind of risk zone when we step onto the pitch." The Norwegian added that while he couldn't confirm a direct connection between Rune's injury and the schedule, "in a way, all injuries are probably because of the tough schedule."

The concerns about player workload extend beyond Ruud's comments, with world No. 9 Jack Draper recently requesting the ATP Tour to reassess its packed calendar. Players have emphasized the need for a more manageable schedule to ensure long and healthy careers. Ruud acknowledged the physical demands, noting that players are "really pushing our own limits at the moment" and expressing sympathy for Rune's unfortunate situation while wishing him a speedy recovery.
