RBI Strategic Move Will Serve As A Catalyst In Fostering Widespread Adoption Of Cash Recycler Machines (CRMs) In The country

The quote is by Mr. Ravi B. Goyal, Chairman & MD, AGS Transact Technologies Limited:

“At AGS Transact Technologies, we are committed to fostering financial inclusion through customised cash & digital payment solutions aimed at providing convenience to the end-customers. The recent announcement by the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) to facilitate cash deposits via Unified Payments Interface (UPI) underscores the pivotal role of innovation and digital transformation in reshaping the financial landscape. We believe that this strategic move will serve as a catalyst in fostering the widespread adoption of Cash Recycler Machines (CRMs) in the country. By enabling customers to perform both cash withdrawal and deposit transactions using UPI on the same platform, it empowers them with enhanced accessibility and efficiency.

Further, the RBI’s decision to permit linking of Prepaid Payment Instruments (PPIs) through third-party Unified Payments Interface (UPI) applications will facilitate seamless peer-to-peer and peer-to-merchant transactions, by enhancing accessibility and flexibility to use funds in the PPI like Ongo wallet or cards. UPI has been the driving force behind the exponential growth of digital payments in the country; and these developments promise a more convenient, efficient, and inclusive financial landscape.”

Whitefield Art Collective Inaugurated Its Seventh Edition In The City

* The seventh edition of Whitefield Art Collective with the theme ‘Transcending Boundaries’ was inaugurated on 5th April 2024 at VR Bengaluru, Whitefield - Bengaluru

Whitefield Art Collective, the Public Art Festival supported by Yuj Arts Foundation, commenced its seventh edition on 5th April 2024. This year's theme, 'Transcending Boundaries,' inspires artists to create innovative artworks and sculptures that reflect their vision, imagination, and artistic talents. Eminent flutist and winner of two national film awards Pt. Pravin Godkhindi inaugurated the month-long festival. The ceremony commenced with the unveiling of the 'Kala Car' and a traditional lamp lighting ceremony. It was followed by a mesmerizing classical dance performance titled 'Sangamam' by Vivrtti Dance Company and a soul-stirring flute recital Pt. Pravin Godkhindi himself, at the Garden City.

Over 100 art installations, sculptures, paintings, and photographs are displayed at the festival. The installations are by the students of Karnataka Chitrakala Parishath, Bangalore School of Design, and other senior artists. Sara Arakkal Galarie and Red Line Gallery have joined forces with the Whitefield Art Collective, alongside organizations like UNESCO and the Iconic Women Project. The Kala Car has been created in collaboration with the multidisciplinary artist Pradeep Kumar whose work is inspired by the narrative forms and decorative elements related to his native culture, the Lambani tribe. Transforming the walls of the parking area at VR Bengaluru into an art gallery, The Basement Art Project displays the works of students from Bangalore University. Over the next month VR Bengaluru will transform into a hub of artistic celebration, with installations, photography, exhibitions, workshops, art cinema screening, and an art bazaar.

Sumi Gupta, Curator of Whitefield Art Collective, said, "It brings me immense joy to unveil this incredible festival, inspiring collaborations and creating a dynamic platform for artists showcasing large-scale installations, sculptures, mixed media works, photography, music, and dance. Whitefield Art Collective 2024 is bringing together a community of connoisseurs, art students, and patrons as well as the people of Bengaluru in a celebration of the city’s art and culture. Through festivals like these, we are not only offering a platform to budding artists but also nurturing a sense of belonging and reverence for the city's rich cultural heritage.”

One of the key highlights of the festival is the stunning photo exhibition in association with UNESCO New Delhi office. The exhibition, based on the UNESCO publication “A Braided River: The Universe of Indian Women in Science,” features charismatic portraits of women scientists who have made their mark in various domains of science. In addition to the exhibit, UNESCO will also host a panel discussion at the Whitefield Art Collective.

Humanity is facing unprecedented challenges caused by the 'Triple Planetary Crisis' of biodiversity loss, climate change, and pollution, impacting food, water, and energy security. By embracing innovations in science, technology, and engineering, we can mitigate these crises. Encouraging significantly greater participation of women scientists and engineers, in order to maximise the critical mass of female collective ingenuity, would help us jointly identify and apply methods to increase the chances of human survivability. This publication, "A Braided River: The Universe of Indian Women in Science" and the exhibition aims to encourage and inspire broader societal efforts for equal respect, equal pay, and access to jobs for women in science, globally," said Tim Curtis, Director of UNESCO South Asia Regional Office and the UNESCO Representative to Bhutan, India, the Maldives and Sri Lanka.

The festival is a dynamic convergence of diverse artistic expressions, talents, and projects. From Kadambari Misra's powerful "Iconic Women Project" that highlights the unsung female icons of history through photography and storytelling, to the retrospective of works by the late Achuthan Kudallur, a tribute to his lasting impact on abstract art, the event offers a profound exploration of creativity and heritage. Additionally, art displays by Gita Hudson, Asma Menon Jamal, Jacob Jebaraj, Kavitha Prasad, Shailesh BO, and Thejomaye Menon contribute a spectrum of styles and perspectives, enriching the festival with their unique creations.

Other attractions include “Bangalore in Focus” displaying compelling photographs of the city taken by both seasoned photographers and emerging talents. The Young Artists programme facilitated by Million Dreams and Snuggles provides students with the opportunity to explore and express themselves through various artistic mediums. Whitefield Art Collective has collaborated with PVR Cinemas for screening of art cinema and Blue Tokai Coffee Roasters for learning art of brewing coffee. The Art Bazaar offers a curated market for local artisans to engage with their audience, accompanied by live music.

Whitefield Art Collective established in 2016, is a vibrant showcase of the diverse artistic expressions of Bengaluru. It is supported by The Yuj Arts Foundation and is also part of VR Bengaluru’s Connecting Communities© initiative that aims to encourage civic pride, strengthen the local economy, and enhance the city’s national and international image.

The International Institute of Information Technology, Bangalore (IIIT-B) has expanded its academic portfolio to launch an Executive Post-Graduate Certificate program in Cloud and DevOps, powered by upGrad, one of Asia’s largest integrated learning, skilling and workforce development majors. This innovative online program marks a significant milestone, positioning itself as the first of its kind to offer in-depth coverage of Amazon Web Services (AWS), Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud Platform (GCP) services, including concepts tested in AWS and Azure exams.

According to industry reports, over 50% of enterprises are projected to adopt industry Cloud platforms by 2028 to expedite their business endeavours, highlighting Cloud's evolution from technology disruption to business indispensability. However, over 19% of recruiters are struggling to find experienced DevOps professionals. It is also interesting to note, that organisations practising DevOps, as per reports deploy code 46 times more frequently and have a 96% higher success rate when compared to traditional development methods.

The program provides a thorough introduction to various cloud platforms, placing a significant focus on DevOps principles and advanced concepts like DevSecOps and SynOps. During each module, learners will be able to deploy web applications and undergo extensive hands-on training, preparing them for roles that require deploying and managing web applications in cloud environments.

Commenting on the launch, Prof Debabrata Das, Director, IIIT-Bangalore said, “DevOps serves as a distinct approach to enterprise software development, emphasizing the necessity of cooperation, automation, and communication between software developers and IT operations teams. IIIT-B with its expertise in cloud development and DevOps has developed this comprehensive programme to meet future demands, thereby enabling the nation to build skills and expertise in this very important technical area.”

Through more than 50 live training sessions, learners will develop core DevOps skills such as continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and infrastructure as code (IaC). They will also learn to design scalable microservices architectures, implement robust monitoring and logging, and utilize AI tools for code analysis, security enhancement, and process automation. Moreover, they will have the opportunity to receive additional hands-on training in preparation for the AWS Academy Cloud Foundations, Azure Fundamentals, and AZ-104 certification exams, making it a comprehensive learning experience.

“The launch of this program is a direct response to the surging demand for DevOps and Cloud computing that we’ve been observing. In the last one year, we’ve seen nearly 1.4 lakh learners sign up for our free Tech & Data courses, and hence, this program with IIIT-B will strike the right chord with tech and even non-tech enthusiasts. Our partnership with the university dates back to 2016, and with several in-demand online courses in Data, Software, and AI/ML, we’ve been able to command a strong position within the skilling and learning ecosystem,” added Mayank Kumar, Co-founder & MD, upGrad. “Today, because of the macroeconomic circumstances, professionals are scrutinising their investments/spends, seeking skills that ensure both immediate market value and long-term relevance. Hence, this program represents hands-on tools and domain fundamentals to enhance employability. It has been built carefully for freshers in tech and non-tech enthusiasts who want to embark on their Cloud and DevOps journey,” concluded Kumar while talking about the origin and idea behind the new launch.

The skilling major is inviting enrolments for the program that is set to commence its first cohort on 30th June 2024.

Abbott’s Survey On ‘Healthy Living: The Role of Vitamin C’

* Highlights 2 in 3 Consumers Trust Vitamin Supplements to Help Boost Immunity

* Abbott unveils the findings of its ‘Healthy Living: The Role of Vitamin C’ survey, in partnership with IPSOS across 9 cities.

* Nearly 60% of people surveyed believe that vitamin C benefits in faster recovery from illness, and 60% believe that lack of vitamin C lowers immunity.

People around the world are increasingly growing health conscious and are more willing to make lifestyle changes post the pandemic.[i] To better understand people’s evolving health needs Abbott, a global healthcare company, in partnership with IPSOS, unveiled the findings of its pan-India survey, ‘Healthy Living: The Role of Vitamin C.’

The survey highlighted that nearly 7 out of 10 consumers associate good health with immunity, high energy levels, and performing daily activities without difficulty. Most people also seek to maintain adequate levels of vitamin C for better health outcomes. Vitamin C is an essential micronutrient involved in maintaining several body functions and is known to have many health benefits.[ii] The findings uncovered insights into how people perceive and incorporate vitamin C into their daily routine.

Dr Kartik Peethambaran, Associate Director, Medical Affairs, Abbott India said, “Vitamin C contributes to the immune defence mechanism of the body that helps boost immunity. Supplementation with vitamin C is known to prevent and treat respiratory infections and has multiple health benefits. Our survey highlights perception on the role of vitamin C in overall good health.”

“Vitamin C has significant health benefits such as strengthening the body’s defences and bone health, enhancing iron absorption, helping with wound healing, maintenance of healthy gums and more. Lack of vitamin C can, therefore, lead to a nutritional gap,” said Dr. L Sreenivasamurthy, Consulting Physician & Diabetologist, Lifecare Hospital, Bangalore. He added, “Consistent consumption of vitamin C not just helps in building immunity but also benefits people with non-communicable diseases like diabetes, who may require greater intake.”

Key Findings: ‘Healthy Living: The Role of Vitamin C’ Survey

Ipsos surveyed over 2,000 people across nine cities – Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Chennai, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Cochin, Ahmedabad, and Pune. Some key findings include:

·       Observed benefits:

52% of respondents said consuming vitamin C supplements during rainy and winter seasons resulted in less sick days

61% of women found vitamin C beneficial in faster recovery from illness

·       Perceived benefits:

About 60% of respondents (including 50% of non-supplement users) associate vitamin C supplements with recovery from illness

65% of respondents perceive that vitamin supplements help in maintaining overall health, and 52% are of the opinion that it can help maintain bone and joint health

73% respondents drink enough water and have a balanced diet to recover faster from illnesses

·       Effects of low vitamin C intake:

60% of respondents believe that lack of vitamin C lowers immunity

36% associate low Vitamin C intake with delay in recovery from illnesses

 Dr. L Sreenivasamurthy further added, “These findings further align with research studies on vitamin C and its role in supporting immune function and fighting infections. Making Vitamin C a part of one’s daily diet can help people get and stay healthy by building a stronger immune system.”

~Aligns with #SheTheDifference campaign to empower women athletes~

In line with its commitment to sports, Coca-Cola India through its Foundation, is supporting the country’s athletes with essential amenities and training equipment as part of its three-year partnership with the Anju Bobby Sports Foundation.

In addition to infrastructure development, Coca-Cola has helped with the academy's lease rent for three years, ensuring a stable operational foundation.

In a nation where many female athletes emerge from small towns and villages, facing limited access to training facilities, coaching, and financial support, this collaboration aims to level the playing field. A PWC report highlights the remarkable shift in the gender balance at the Tokyo Olympics, with 44% of Indian participants being women.

Commenting on the partnership, Rajesh Ayapilla, Director-CSR and Sustainability for Coca-Cola India and Southwest Asia (INSWA), said, “At Coca-Cola India, we believe in the power of sports to inspire, empower, and unite communities.

With sports being an integral part of both organizations’ DNA, through such initiatives, we are dedicated to creating a supportive environment where athletes can thrive. We are proud to sponsor talented individuals like Shaili Singh, reaffirming our commitment to empowering women in sports and contributing to their success on the global stage”.

“I feel honored to be associated with such a brand like Coca-Cola India. They were the first ones to support our cause and their contribution has been instrumental in creating a world-class training facility in India at the Anju Bobby High Performance Center, Bangalore. Today, we have some top-quality track and field equipment, some of the quality gym equipment, and our athletes here are focused on making the most of these facilities to help India win its Olympic medal. Personally, as well, I feel if I could win India's first world championship medal, it’s my duty to share my knowledge and experience with these young women, thereby contributing to India’s success”, said Anju Bobby George, Founder, Anju Bobby Sports Foundation.

The social impact of this initiative extends beyond individual achievements in the field. By empowering women athletes, the Foundation along with Coca-Cola India is nurturing future leaders who will contribute back to the sports community as coaches, trainers, therapists, and administrators.

And AI and digital play a transformational role here. Ozonetel’s digital CX solution suite is tailor-made to seize this opportunity.

We believe this suite will enable businesses to completely reimagine CX for today’s digital-first customer, hyperscale customer engagement, and supercharge business growth.”

Some key capabilities of the AI-led digital CX suite include:

Digital Conversational Intelligence: Assists agents with real-time actionable advice from millions of digital interactions. Empowers businesses to leverage GenAI and Voice of the Customer insights to enhance customer experience.

3AI Holding Limited, a global AI investment firm from Abu Dhabi, that invests in AI infrastructure and AI foundational companies, today announced that it has entered into a strategic partnership with SML India, allowing them to jointly own ‘Hanooman’, India’s largest and most affordable, accessible, and attainable multilingual GenAI platform. Seetha Mahalaxmi Healthcare (SML) introduced Hanooman in Feb this year in NASSCOM’s NTLF Techade conference. 3AI Holding’s homegrown proprietary patent pending Omega generative AI will make ‘Hanooman’, bigger and more powerful, which is set to launch on May 01, 2024.

With the newly formed strategic partnership between 3AI Holding and SML, Hanooman aims to reach 200 million users in 22 Indian languages within the first year from the day of its launch. India's 142 crore population has 80% non-English speaking. Hanooman will empower everyone and will be within the reach of masses by coming up with local languages.

With this joint venture, Hanooman will offer its multimodal and multilingual capabilities, including Text, Voice, Image and Code to its users.

With its multilingual capabilities and collaboration with NASSCOM, Hanooman aims to benefit both end users and corporations.

SML India and 3AI Holding believe in the fundamental mission of ‘AI for All’, and the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed by the two companies is a testimony to this commitment by democratizing the generative AI space for the Indian masses, under the brand name of ‘Hanooman’. This comes at a time when global generative AI companies are eyeing India, making it one of the critical markets for the development and consumption of AI products.

Speaking on the collaboration, Arjun Prasad, Managing Director, 3AI Holding, said, "We are committed to pushing the boundaries of AI innovation to enhance human well-being and societal development. The partnership with SML to power Hanooman, is a step towards our shared vision to provide equitable AI access to the Indian masses. We are focusing on catering to a diverse range of users through our advanced multilingual text capabilities.

Led by Arjun Prasad, a serial entrepreneur, 3AI Holding Limited, an Abu Dhabi based investment firm, is developing the next advanced version of Omega with 665 billion parameters and 20 trillion tokens that will compete with global generative AI platforms. 3AI is backed by the Patel Family Office, a third generation family office from the United States. 3AI Holding Limited recently launched Ask QX, a generative AI platform available in 100+ global languages and 12 Indian languages with 372 billion parameters, garnering more than 14 million users in the first 2 months of its launch. 

Founded by Indian founders, SML India is India's pioneer and one of the first globally to develop multilingual LLMS. Its groundbreaking work includes building India's first full-stack, enterprise-ready Gen AI models, setting a new benchmark in the Gen AI industry.

This joint venture embarks new era of repatriation of technology and talent and both Dr. Vishnu Vardhan, MIT alumnus and Arjun Prasad based out of Abu Dhabi are leading by example. This venture clearly indicates very promising reverse brain drain and holding and settling new talent within the country taking India to its technology prowess positioning. Both the founders were pretty confident that this is the definitive step in unlocking Trillion dollar economy potential from Generative AI for the country.
