THE GROWTH ANALYSIS OF UNIFIED PAYMENTS INTERFACE (UPI) IN INDIA.docx
Interoperability among “payment systems in India has facilitated unparalleled ease of transactions while robust customer protection measures have made India’s retail payment system one of the safest in the world.
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a mobile-based, 365x24x7 ‘fast payment’ system launched in August 2016 which allows users to send and receive money instantly using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) set by the user itself. The unique feature of VPA-based transaction is that it obviates the need for sharing account or bank details to the remitter. It supports person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) payments which can be used over a smart phone (app-based) or a feature phone (USSD8-based), and at merchant location/website. It facilitates immediate money transfer through both ‘pull’ and ‘push’ payments.
Non-financial transactions, such as balance enquiry, can also be carried out using UPI. It powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application of any participating bank/non-bank Third Party Application Provider (TPAP). Funds can also be transferred through UPI using account number with and IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) of the bank branch. The UPI 2.0 was launched in August 2018, which enabled users to link their Overdraft accounts to UPI VPA. Users are also able to pre-authorise transactions by issuing a mandate for specific merchant for a one-time payment. There’s also an added feature of AutoPay facility for recurring payments.
The framework of UPI comprises NPCI as switching and settlement service provider and banks as Payment System Providers (PSPs) – as issuer banks and beneficiary banks. Additionally, it can also have Third Party Application Providers (TPAP) such as Google Pay. Transactions are carried out through mobile devices with two-factor authentication using device binding and UPI PIN as security. Currently, the per transaction limit is INR 0.2 million.
UPI has attracted participation from a number of FinTech players. As against banks, it is the non-bank players who have made good use of the openness of UPI architecture, which allows any entity’s mobile application to be used for doing UPI transactions. Since its humble beginning in 2016, UPI has become one of the most popular payment products in India. Convenience of remembering and sharing a simple UPI VPA may have added to its popularity”.
On the whole we can observe there is a significant increase in the number of UPI transactions both in terms of volume and in terms of value. Similarly, from 17.86 million transactions in financial year 2016 – 2017 to 22,330.65 million transactions in the year 2021 – 2022 with the CAGR of 228%. Similarly with reference to value of transactions there is a increase in the value of transactions from Rs. 69.47 billion transactions in the year 2016 – 2017 to Rs. 41,036.54 billion transactions in the year 2021 – 2022 with the CAGR of 190%. UPI is going to be a catalyst in the retail payments sector in India.
WILL ROBOTS REDUCE OR INCREASE HUMAN EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES?
According to Binus Square Student Committee, Technology is disrupting the economy at many levels, and many worry about losing their jobs to automation. The truth is that this isn’t anything new—we’ve been through this already with the Industrial Revolution.
Back then, employees also thought there would be no room for humans at work. Machines were taking over, and their jobs were less valuable every day. But humans are still part of the equation; machines didn’t replace us—we use them to make our jobs more productive.
Today, we can expect a significant change in the way we handle our work, and we’ll probably have to learn new skills to future-proof our lives. The only difference between the previous industrial revolutions and today’s robotics revolution is the speed at which it is taking place.
According to a recent Oxford study, there will be 14 million robots in China’s workforce within the next 11 years. Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and robotics are accelerating the pace of automation in the workspace. However, there will always be jobs for humans. Now, let’s explore whether robots will reduce human employment or not.
GLOBAL TOURISM SECTOR TO SUFFER $1.2 TRILLION DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMIC
Global tourism sector is set to lose at least $1.2 trillion due to the spread of coronavirus. Let's take a look at the impact.
The world's tourism sector could lose at least $1.2 trillion or 1.5 per cent of the global gross domestic product (GDP), having been on a standstill for nearly four months due to the coronavirus pandemic. The loss could rise to $2.2 trillion or 2.8 per cent of the world's GDP if the break in international tourism lasts for eight months, in line with the expected decline in tourism as projected by the UN World Tourism Organisation.
In the most pessimistic scenario, a 12-month break in international tourism would incur an estimated losses of $3.3 trillion or 4.2 per cent of global GDP. In absolute terms, the world's largest trading economies, USA and China would face the largest declines in GDP, in the moderate scenario.
Negative employment and wage effects would be highest in countries reliant on tourism. The steepest drops are estimated in Thailand (-12 per cent), Jamaica (-11 per cent), and Croatia (-9 per cent).
In the long run, the World Travel & Tourism Council anticipates that the international tourism sector will likely return to pre-pandemic levels within a 19-month period.

Grofers works on a marketplace model, partnering with local grocery shops to fulfill online orders placed through its app, charging the shops commissions ranging from 8-15%. While Grofers has seen success, it also faced initial challenges including delayed service, product quality issues, and shutting down operations in some cities.
THE RELIANCE JIO WHICH TRANSFORMED THE FACE OF INDIAN TELECOM INDUSTRY
When Anil Ambani and Mukesh Ambani had a split in the year 2005 it was one of the biggest de-merger in the industry. The dream project of Mukesh Ambani that was Reliance Infocom became a part of Anil Ambani Group. Further Mukesh Ambani went on to acquire the company Infotel Broadband Services Limited which was the only successful bidder across India for the 4G network.
That is when Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Limited started working in establishing a base for high-speed optical fiber 4G network which is much more capable than 4G. The company was named Reliance Jio Infocom Ltd popularly known as Jio today. Jio was the first network to provide 4G LTE services and VoLTE services.
Jio launched this service on 5th September 2016 for all the users and also launched its smartphone series with the name LYF. Reliance Jio Infocom Ltd (RJIL) focused on high-speed data instead of voice and SMS. On its launch, the company announced data plans with 1GB 4G data per day in the market where mostly all popular telecom providers offered 1GB data per month.
This was a game-changer by RJIL in the price-sensitive market of India as the prices before that revolved around Rs.250-300 for 1 GB 4G data which went down to Rs. 5 per GB during the initial days. With such amusing plans gradually Jio also offered free voice calling and free 100 SMS per day for all its Prime members.

Following which, Tata Sons announced an additional Rs 1,000 crore support towards coronavirus fund. This is by far the biggest contribution by a business group in India. Out of the total fund, Rs 500 crore has been contributed towards PM-CARES fund.
Philanthropist Azim Premji's companies Wipro Ltd, Wipro Enterprises Ltd and Azim Premji Foundation, have together committed Rs 1,125 crore. Of the Rs 1,125 crore, Wipro Ltd's commitment is Rs 100 crore, Wipro Enterprises Ltd's is Rs 25 crore, and that of the Azim Premji Foundation is Rs 1,000 crore. These sums are in addition to the annual CSR activities of Wipro, and the usual philanthropic spends of the Azim Premji Foundation.
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries (RIL) has donated Rs 510 crore to the coronavirus relief work. This includes contribution of Rs 500 crore to the PM-CARES Fund and Rs. 5 crore each to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund of Maharashtra and Gujarat. RIL has also setup a 100-bed centre for COVID-19 patients at a hospital in Mumbai.
THE ATTRIBUTES BEHIND THE GLORY OF DELIVERY KING SWIGGY
INTRODUCTION
Swiggy is a food delivery application. It allows the users to access their application from Android, IOS, and website, to order food from nearby restaurants, delivering at an estimated time of 30 minutes at the doorstep. They partner with restaurants, have delivery services, and provide ratings that help the customer in picking eateries accordingly. At the time delivery of an order, a customer is entitled to give feedback, rate the food and the delivery services, which help the application, give the customer the best experience by gathering all data.
The company recently started with the tagline, ‘No order too small’, that is no minimum order for delivery, and faster delivery became the USP of the company. The company’s target audience is people who use smartphones regularly, 18-35 demographic. The tagline of Swiggy is, ‘Swiggy karo, phir jo chahe karo!’ which appears in the advertisements of Swiggy.
THE INCEPTION OF SWIGGY
In the year 2013, Sriharsha and Nandan came together to build a product that would connect courier companies across the country, called Bundl. Bundl was not such a huge success and these two co-founders wanted to focus on the food industry. They met Rahul who helped build the software. Hence, Swiggy was born in August 2014.
When Swiggy came to the market, the food delivery sector already had applications like Foodpanda, Tinyowl, and Ola Café. Foodpanda and Tinyowl were later acquired by Ola Cabs and Zomato respectively and Ola café later got closed. While all these companies were struggling, Swiggy already had around 100 restaurants on board, with around 70,000 orders monthly. They also received a cheque of $2 million from Accel and SAIF Partners in the year 2015. This is how the company began with a kick start.
Swiggy started in the year 2014, as a food delivery app. Eventually, Swiggy expanded in size and is working in 100 cities in India at present. In 2019, Swiggy also started its business in delivering packages to businesses and clients, with the application called, Swiggy Go.
THE INITIAL HI-CUPS FACED BY SWIGGY
Swiggy has both technical and non-technical issues that arise regularly. It is a challenge for Swiggy to calculate an estimate for each order made and making sure it gets delivered at the said time. The app also has a feature of rating for both the delivery services and the food served by restaurants; they gather this data and ensure to give the best experience to the customers.
THE BUSINESS AND REVENUE MODEL OF SWIGGY
The application works on the business model of hyper-local on-demand food delivery. Swiggy gets restaurants as partners that supply food to the customers. It has several delivery partners who aim at delivering food in less than 30 minutes. The revenue collected by Swiggy at the year ending March 2019 was Rs. 1, 128 crore.
THE LIFE SPAN OF DEADLY CORONAVIRUS ON DIFFERENT SURFACES
Coronavirus which has affected more than 5 lakh people and killed more than 24 thousand across the world till March 27 is spreading fast. The novel virus can spread through infected surfaces and can live between 3 to 72 hours hours on different surfaces such as plastic, metals, cardboard and even air.
As per a study published in New England Journal of Medicine, coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) can be detected in air upto three hours. A person is more likely to catch the infection from air through an infected person rather than the surfaces that have the virus.
On copper, coronavirus can survive for upto 4 hours. As per the study, no traces of the virus could be seen or measured post the four-hour time-frame. Disinfecting the copper surface from time to time is a precautionary measure that can be used.
Coronavirus can live for a day on cardboard surfaces. As per the study, the virus (SARS-CoV-2) can survive for upto 24 hours on surfaces that are made out of cardboard. However the study also said that replicate data were noticeably "noisier" for cardboard than for other surfaces.
On objects and surfaces made of stainless steel, coronavirus can survive for upto 48 hours. The estimated median half-life of the virus was approximately 5.6 hours on stainless steel. The study published in New England Journal of Medicine notes that no visible virus (SARS-Cov-2) was measured after the 48-hour time period.
Coronavirus can live for upto 3 days on plastic surfaces. The SARS-COV-2 virus was more stable on plastic as compared to other surfaces such as metals and cardboard. The estimated median half-life of the virus was approximately 6.8 hours on plastic surfaces.
THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CORONAVIRUS' ON INDIA'S IMPORTS FROM CHINA
China's share in India's imports stand at 14 per cent. Since the outbreak of coronavirus trading between the two countries has been affected. India has a high dependency on China for manufacturing inputs. The industries that are impacted the most are:
APIs stand for active pharmaceutical ingredients. Indian companies imported 68 per cent of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) from China in FY19. Indian pharma companies have said they have stock for 2-3 months, but the situation could worsen post May 2020.
India's electrical machinery and equipment has 40 per cent dependence on imports from China. However this number has reduced from 59.5 per cent in FY18 to 40 per cent in FY19. Although India has increased production of low-end electronic components. Import dependency on China is its major limitation.
Solar cells and modules which absorb sunlight to generate electricity are imported from China. As per a report from HDFC Bank, India's solar industry has 80 per cent dependence on Chinese manufacturers for solar products. As a result projects could be delayed in the next 4-6 months.
Consumer durables are the products that have a long use life such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and other household appliances. Around 45 per cent of consumer durables are imported from China. Currently an inventory for 2-3 months is being maintained by companies but the impact of the virus outbreak could be felt from Mar-Apr 20. Prices of these goods could rise in near future, according to the report.
Automobile sector, which accounts for 7.5 per cent of India's GDP and a massive 49 per cent of the manufacturing GDP, is already facing slowdown. The coronavirus lockdown has made the situation worse for the auto sector as 10 to 30 per cent of automotive components are supplied from China. If factories do not resume activity in China, it could adversely affect the sector.
Tourism sector comprises a broad chain of services such as tickets and booking, transportation, hotels, food and beverages. Since 2011, tourists from China visiting India were growing at 11% annually. China accounted for 3% of total foreign tourist arrivals in 2019.
HOW CEMENT INDUSTRY CAN BE THE BOOSTER ENGINE FOR INDIA?
1) The Indian cement industry is the second largest in the world in terms of production, but per capita consumption is still low at under 200kg compared to the world average of 500kg.
2) There has been consolidation in the industry with big players acquiring smaller regional cement companies. Cement companies operate by focusing on either quality or price.
3) Cement advertising now focuses more on emotional connections with consumers rather than just functional benefits due to information overload.
4) Government infrastructure projects and the housing sector are expected to drive demand growth, increasing per capita cement consumption to 435kg by 2030 and enabling an 82% expansion in production capacity.
ROBOTS AND HUMANS: COMBINED CAPABILITY WILL ENABLE BUSINESSES DELIVER UNEXPEC...
The last few years have seen a significant infusion of robots in various industries. This trend is expected to continue in the next 3-5 years. Almost 1 million robots are expected to be sold for enterprise use in 2020. There are primarily 3 types of robots - industrial, professional services and software robots.
Professional service robots (e.g., those used in healthcare, retail industries) and software robots (e.g., those used in functions such as Finance, HR, Procurement) will comprise a significant portion of these new robot sales. The market for professional services and software robots is growing much faster than that for industrial robots.
As the use of robots, increase in non-manufacturing industries, the companies which are able to combine the uniquely native human capabilities (e.g., inspiration, aspiration, emotion, empathy, imagination) with powerful robot capabilities (e.g., accurate transaction processing) will be able to re-imagine their business processes and deliver better and newer business outcomes for their stakeholders.
THE WAYS IN WHICH GEO -ENGINEERING COULD TRANSFORM THE ENVIRONMENT
Varun Kesavan discusses how geoengineering could be used to address the climate emergency. Specifically, solar radiation management techniques like stratospheric aerosol injection aim to reflect sunlight back into space to cool the planet. While once dismissed, major universities are now researching geoengineering due to the urgent threat of climate change. However, the large-scale effects are still uncertain and it may discourage climate action or have unintended impacts if halted. Overall, geoengineering shows potential to significantly benefit society and the environment according to studies, despite some risks, and could provide time to further address the root causes of climate change.
THE WAYS IN WHICH AUTOMATION REVOLUSIONS THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Business strategy is being revolutionised by advances in automation technologies and management must follow. Management beliefs and practices must evolve with the new ways of production, distribution and consumption. Businesses are beginning to accept the inevitability of tech-enabled processes and tech-determined choices.
Industry 4.0 is about autonomy of machines. Advances in sensors, communication, computation, robotics, GPS etc have created possibilities of infusing machines with intelligence to automate both work and management. Machines are already collecting and sorting information, and management mostly involves dealing with people and making decisions. As Industry 4.0 evolves, a lot of decision-making will also be transferred to machines. But, it is not clear yet how machines will share ethical and legal responsibility for their actions.
THE SMES IN 2020: B2B PAYMENTS, DATA PRIVACY AMONG MAJOR PROBLEMS TO STAY IN ...
Several B2B payments and lending companies, over the last one year, emerged with solutions around banking, expense management, accounting/book-keeping, and Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable (AP/AR) automation.
Slowly, but steadily, businesses are adopting software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools to manage their businesses better and move towards real digitisation away from manual and clunky processes to more elegant and friction-free processes.
Investors have taken notice of this opportunity in the B2B space and have stepped up their investments. A recent report by Venture Intelligence said that B2B fintech has secured $657 million in India so far this year, compared to $617 million by B2C fintech. Keeping this business payments transformation in mind, here are the top five topics that will be in the limelight in 2020:
THE TOP INNOVATIVE ECONOMIES IN THE WORLD
The World Economic Forum's Global Competitiveness Report for 2019 ranks 141 economies on their innovation capability. The innovation ecosystem is measured with the help of five sub-pillars-commercialization, Interaction, and diversity, administrative requirements, research and development, and entrepreneurial culture. Other important factors like education and the intensity of competitive skills they possess also help determine the country's innovation capabilities.
MAJOR PAYMENT HICUPS FACED BY SMES, THE GROWTH DRIVERS OF INDIAN ECONOMY
SMEs are the backbone of the Indian economy, and key contributors to the $5 trillion Indian economy target. Unprecedented action-oriented focus on the issues faced by the sector in the recent past stands testimony to the seriousness with which we view this segment to drive growth.
That being said, the key problem that has always plagued the segment has been the money flow; both on receipt and payout as well as the access to formal credit. In this regard, it is relevant to discuss the payment challenges faced by the sector today, which is a critical factor for their thriving or even survival in some regions.
THE KEY STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY COUNTRIES FIGHTING AIR POLLUTION CRISIS
The key strategies adopted by countries fighting air pollution include the following:
China has constructed large air purifying towers, invested heavily in wind and solar power to replace coal, closed over 100 coal plants, and established a nationwide air quality monitoring network.
Norway actively promotes electric vehicles through tax exemptions and incentives which has led to a quarter of new vehicle sales being electric.
Japan has an extensive rail network that carries 72% of passenger traffic, encouraging rail travel over driving in cities to reduce emissions. Tokyo is also increasing bike lanes to promote cycling.
Sweden considers potential air pollution when permitting industries and charges a sulphur tax on emissions from fuels to incentivize pollution controls.
THE MAJOR DOWNTREND PUBLIC SECTOR UNDERTAKINGS IN INDIA

THE VARIOUS WAYS TO TACKLE WITH DIFFERENCES, CONFLICTS IN FAMILY BUSINESS
Differences are here to stay as a natural human phenomenon across cultures and families. In the midst of the vicissitudes of life, a family business that strives to deal with differences openly and consistently will win.
Conflicts anytime, anywhere, for any reason can be dysfunctional and disruptive. Not so with differences these can lead to creative outcomes and strengthen relationships. Differences, in fact, need to be celebrated.
Conflict starts in small ways and builds up. Today's conflict in most cases has roots in some past disagreement.
A misunderstanding avoided, may lead to spiralling differences. Differences unattended may promote conflict, simmering conflict may lead to incompatibility which may lead to separation.
It is important to nip it in the bud and open up blocked communication routes. This is, however, easier said than done, particularly when the ego plays up at a high pitch and the relationships are in a family setting.
Differences and conflict in family business erode economic value, lead to separation and fractured relationship between kith and kin, often with transgenerational consequences both for the business and the family.
THE UNIQUENESS BEHIND APPLE BRAND
Apple is one of the most successful companies in history. Even during periods in which the company struggled, it was known for being innovative. In the late 1990s and early 2000s, Apple began its rise to dominance in a range of technology areas and established itself as the trendsetter in mobile devices.
What is it that makes Apple so desirable and so special? How does the company keep up its formidable status even decades after the introduction of its first desktop computers, and what is it about the company that inspires such excitement and loyalty among its customers? Here is an analysis of some aspects that set Apple apart from their competition.

THE ROAD BEHIND THE GLORY OF GROCERY GIANT GROFERS
Grofers is an Indian online grocery delivery startup founded in 2013 by two IIT graduates. It operates in 28 Indian cities. Initially, the founders facilitated grocery deliveries from local stores and supermarkets for customers. They aimed to provide one-stop delivery for local needs by partnering with shops. Grofers works on a marketplace model, partnering with local grocery shops to fulfill online orders placed through its app, charging the shops commissions ranging from 8-15%. While Grofers has seen success, it also faced initial challenges including delayed service, product quality issues, and shutting down operations in some cities.
THE RELIANCE JIO WHICH TRANSFORMED THE FACE OF INDIAN TELECOM INDUSTRY
When Anil Ambani and Mukesh Ambani had a split in the year 2005 it was one of the biggest de-merger in the industry. The dream project of Mukesh Ambani that was Reliance Infocom became a part of Anil Ambani Group. Further Mukesh Ambani went on to acquire the company Infotel Broadband Services Limited which was the only successful bidder across India for the 4G network.
That is when Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Limited started working in establishing a base for high-speed optical fiber 4G network which is much more capable than 4G. The company was named Reliance Jio Infocom Ltd popularly known as Jio today. Jio was the first network to provide 4G LTE services and VoLTE services.
Jio launched this service on 5th September 2016 for all the users and also launched its smartphone series with the name LYF. Reliance Jio Infocom Ltd (RJIL) focused on high-speed data instead of voice and SMS. On its launch, the company announced data plans with 1GB 4G data per day in the market where mostly all popular telecom providers offered 1GB data per month.
This was a game-changer by RJIL in the price-sensitive market of India as the prices before that revolved around Rs.250-300 for 1 GB 4G data which went down to Rs. 5 per GB during the initial days. With such amusing plans gradually Jio also offered free voice calling and free 100 SMS per day for all its Prime members.

Tata Trusts and Tata Sons have combined committed Rs 1,500 crore towards coronavirus relief work. Chairman of Tata Trusts, Ratan Tata committed Rs 500 crore towards manufacturing of personal protective equipment, respiratory systems, testing kits and setting up modular treatment facilities and training of health workers. Following which, Tata Sons announced an additional Rs 1,000 crore support towards coronavirus fund. This is by far the biggest contribution by a business group in India. Out of the total fund, Rs 500 crore has been contributed towards PM-CARES fund.
Philanthropist Azim Premji's companies Wipro Ltd, Wipro Enterprises Ltd and Azim Premji Foundation, have together committed Rs 1,125 crore. Of the Rs 1,125 crore, Wipro Ltd's commitment is Rs 100 crore, Wipro Enterprises Ltd's is Rs 25 crore, and that of the Azim Premji Foundation is Rs 1,000 crore. These sums are in addition to the annual CSR activities of Wipro, and the usual philanthropic spends of the Azim Premji Foundation.
Mukesh Ambani-led Reliance Industries (RIL) has donated Rs 510 crore to the coronavirus relief work. This includes contribution of Rs 500 crore to the PM-CARES Fund and Rs. 5 crore each to the Chief Minister's Relief Fund of Maharashtra and Gujarat. RIL has also setup a 100-bed centre for COVID-19 patients at a hospital in Mumbai.
THE ATTRIBUTES BEHIND THE GLORY OF DELIVERY KING SWIGGY
INTRODUCTION
Swiggy is a food delivery application. It allows the users to access their application from Android, IOS, and website, to order food from nearby restaurants, delivering at an estimated time of 30 minutes at the doorstep. They partner with restaurants, have delivery services, and provide ratings that help the customer in picking eateries accordingly. At the time delivery of an order, a customer is entitled to give feedback, rate the food and the delivery services, which help the application, give the customer the best experience by gathering all data.
The company recently started with the tagline, ‘No order too small’, that is no minimum order for delivery, and faster delivery became the USP of the company. The company’s target audience is people who use smartphones regularly, 18-35 demographic. The tagline of Swiggy is, ‘Swiggy karo, phir jo chahe karo!’ which appears in the advertisements of Swiggy.
THE INCEPTION OF SWIGGY
In the year 2013, Sriharsha and Nandan came together to build a product that would connect courier companies across the country, called Bundl. Bundl was not such a huge success and these two co-founders wanted to focus on the food industry. They met Rahul who helped build the software. Hence, Swiggy was born in August 2014.
When Swiggy came to the market, the food delivery sector already had applications like Foodpanda, Tinyowl, and Ola Café. Foodpanda and Tinyowl were later acquired by Ola Cabs and Zomato respectively and Ola café later got closed. While all these companies were struggling, Swiggy already had around 100 restaurants on board, with around 70,000 orders monthly. They also received a cheque of $2 million from Accel and SAIF Partners in the year 2015. This is how the company began with a kick start.
Swiggy started in the year 2014, as a food delivery app. Eventually, Swiggy expanded in size and is working in 100 cities in India at present. In 2019, Swiggy also started its business in delivering packages to businesses and clients, with the application called, Swiggy Go.
THE INITIAL HI-CUPS FACED BY SWIGGY
Swiggy has both technical and non-technical issues that arise regularly. It is a challenge for Swiggy to calculate an estimate for each order made and making sure it gets delivered at the said time. The app also has a feature of rating for both the delivery services and the food served by restaurants; they gather this data and ensure to give the best experience to the customers.
THE BUSINESS AND REVENUE MODEL OF SWIGGY
The application works on the business model of hyper-local on-demand food delivery. Swiggy gets restaurants as partners that supply food to the customers. It has several delivery partners who aim at delivering food in less than 30 minutes. The revenue collected by Swiggy at the year ending March 2019 was Rs. 1, 128 crore.
THE LIFE SPAN OF DEADLY CORONAVIRUS ON DIFFERENT SURFACES
Coronavirus which has affected more than 5 lakh people and killed more than 24 thousand across the world till March 27 is spreading fast. The novel virus can spread through infected surfaces and can live between 3 to 72 hours hours on different surfaces such as plastic, metals, cardboard and even air.
As per a study published in New England Journal of Medicine, coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2) can be detected in air upto three hours. A person is more likely to catch the infection from air through an infected person rather than the surfaces that have the virus.
On copper, coronavirus can survive for upto 4 hours. As per the study, no traces of the virus could be seen or measured post the four-hour time-frame. Disinfecting the copper surface from time to time is a precautionary measure that can be used.
Coronavirus can live for a day on cardboard surfaces. As per the study, the virus (SARS-CoV-2) can survive for upto 24 hours on surfaces that are made out of cardboard. However the study also said that replicate data were noticeably "noisier" for cardboard than for other surfaces.
On objects and surfaces made of stainless steel, coronavirus can survive for upto 48 hours. The estimated median half-life of the virus was approximately 5.6 hours on stainless steel. The study published in New England Journal of Medicine notes that no visible virus (SARS-Cov-2) was measured after the 48-hour time period.
Coronavirus can live for upto 3 days on plastic surfaces. The SARS-COV-2 virus was more stable on plastic as compared to other surfaces such as metals and cardboard. The estimated median half-life of the virus was approximately 6.8 hours on plastic surfaces.
THE REPERCUSSIONS OF CORONAVIRUS' ON INDIA'S IMPORTS FROM CHINA
China's share in India's imports stand at 14 per cent. Since the outbreak of coronavirus trading between the two countries has been affected. India has a high dependency on China for manufacturing inputs. The industries that are impacted the most are:
APIs stand for active pharmaceutical ingredients. Indian companies imported 68 per cent of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) from China in FY19. Indian pharma companies have said they have stock for 2-3 months, but the situation could worsen post May 2020.
India's electrical machinery and equipment has 40 per cent dependence on imports from China. However this number has reduced from 59.5 per cent in FY18 to 40 per cent in FY19. Although India has increased production of low-end electronic components. Import dependency on China is its major limitation.
Solar cells and modules which absorb sunlight to generate electricity are imported from China. As per a report from HDFC Bank, India's solar industry has 80 per cent dependence on Chinese manufacturers for solar products. As a result projects could be delayed in the next 4-6 months.
Consumer durables are the products that have a long use life such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and other household appliances. Around 45 per cent of consumer durables are imported from China. Currently an inventory for 2-3 months is being maintained by companies but the impact of the virus outbreak could be felt from Mar-Apr 20. Prices of these goods could rise in near future, according to the report.
Automobile sector, which accounts for 7.5 per cent of India's GDP and a massive 49 per cent of the manufacturing GDP, is already facing slowdown. The coronavirus lockdown has made the situation worse for the auto sector as 10 to 30 per cent of automotive components are supplied from China. If factories do not resume activity in China, it could adversely affect the sector.
Tourism sector comprises a broad chain of services such as tickets and booking, transportation, hotels, food and beverages. Since 2011, tourists from China visiting India were growing at 11% annually. China accounted for 3% of total foreign tourist arrivals in 2019.
HOW CEMENT INDUSTRY CAN BE THE BOOSTER ENGINE FOR INDIA?
1) The Indian cement industry is the second largest in the world in terms of production, but per capita consumption is still low at under 200kg compared to the world average of 500kg.
2) There has been consolidation in the industry with big players acquiring smaller regional cement companies. Cement companies operate by focusing on either quality or price.
3) Cement advertising now focuses more on emotional connections with consumers rather than just functional benefits due to information overload.
4) Government infrastructure projects and the housing sector are expected to drive demand growth, increasing per capita cement consumption to 435kg by 2030 and enabling an 82% expansion in production capacity.
ROBOTS AND HUMANS: COMBINED CAPABILITY WILL ENABLE BUSINESSES DELIVER UNEXPEC...
The last few years have seen a significant infusion of robots in various industries. This trend is expected to continue in the next 3-5 years. Almost 1 million robots are expected to be sold for enterprise use in 2020. There are primarily 3 types of robots - industrial, professional services and software robots.
Professional service robots (e.g., those used in healthcare, retail industries) and software robots (e.g., those used in functions such as Finance, HR, Procurement) will comprise a significant portion of these new robot sales. The market for professional services and software robots is growing much faster than that for industrial robots.
As the use of robots, increase in non-manufacturing industries, the companies which are able to combine the uniquely native human capabilities (e.g., inspiration, aspiration, emotion, empathy, imagination) with powerful robot capabilities (e.g., accurate transaction processing) will be able to re-imagine their business processes and deliver better and newer business outcomes for their stakeholders.
THE WAYS IN WHICH GEO -ENGINEERING COULD TRANSFORM THE ENVIRONMENT
Varun Kesavan discusses how geoengineering could be used to address the climate emergency. Specifically, solar radiation management techniques like stratospheric aerosol injection aim to reflect sunlight back into space to cool the planet. While once dismissed, major universities are now researching geoengineering due to the urgent threat of climate change. However, the large-scale effects are still uncertain and it may discourage climate action or have unintended impacts if halted. Overall, geoengineering shows potential to significantly benefit society and the environment according to studies, despite some risks, and could provide time to further address the root causes of climate change.
THE WAYS IN WHICH AUTOMATION REVOLUSIONS THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGY
Business strategy is being revolutionised by advances in automation technologies and management must follow. Management beliefs and practices must evolve with the new ways of production, distribution and consumption. Businesses are beginning to accept the inevitability of tech-enabled processes and tech-determined choices.
Industry 4.0 is about autonomy of machines. Advances in sensors, communication, computation, robotics, GPS etc have created possibilities of infusing machines with intelligence to automate both work and management. Machines are already collecting and sorting information, and management mostly involves dealing with people and making decisions.

THE KEY STRATEGIES ADOPTED BY COUNTRIES FIGHTING AIR POLLUTION CRISIS
The key strategies adopted by countries fighting air pollution include the following:
