The 2006 American Business Awards, more commonly revered as The Stevie Awards (Greek for “crowned”), was the foreground for information commerce leader Intelius’ success. In only its third year, it was named a finalist in the Best New Company as well as the Best New Product or Service during the annual recognitions. “The business world’s own Oscars” as nicknamed by the New York Post (2005), bestows honour on the chosen few among the over 1,500 innovative entries across the nation. The company’s entry, IDWatch, is a revolutionary identity theft insurance, prevention and detection service that is proactive in approach.
Naveen Jain, who established Intelius in 2003 and currently serves as the company’s top man, is quoted as to have said, “Being named a Stevie Award finalist in two categories is a great source of pride for Intelius. It highlights the growth of our company and the value of our offerings, inspiring us to continue innovating ways…”
Intellius’ commitment to providing the resources for its customers to make informed and intelligent decisions about assets, businesses and people has significantly influenced its stakeholder choices. The only thing greater perhaps than its contributions to them, is Intelius‘ giving to those less fortunate. In the short time that it took the company to grow exponentially, it has also built a name for itself as one of the most involved corporate philanthropists especially in the local community.
Intelius is not only known as a leading information commerce company, but also a steadfast benefactor to several non-profit initiatives that cover healthcare, family issues, youth, and education in 2008. Groups such as Overlake Service League and Hopelink are just two of the recipients of the company’s support. With model leadership and executive direction by Naveen and wife Anu Jain, Intellius has even raised their charitable contribution in a time of recession. Indeed, a step worth emulating for many of those who claim to be champions of corporate social responsibility.
