Cities are a driving force in generating the world’s economic growth. All around the world, urbanization is a growing trend. Challenges arise as more and more people concentrated in the limited urban spaces, with outdated infrastructure, leading to a rapid increase in resource consumption and emissions. The principal challenges for cities, around the globe, are to deliver better services while being globally competitive, and meeting climate targets.
Limited resources need to be managed in an efficient way. At the same time, societal development must be addressed and the focus put on people’s wellbeing. The pressure is growing to reduce our environmental impact, and there is a parallel compelling need for businesses to remain globally competitive. Expenditures on improving energy efficiency, modernizing infrastructure and creating a high-quality living, and working environments, are enormous. At the same time, cities have limited financial resources for governance and services.
The sustainable transformation of cities is only possible when it is done in a smart way. Smart systems and their integration need to be developed, not only to provide the services that people need but also to do so efficiently with minimum impact on the environment Regarding the urban spaces as living ecosystems, the smart city design, and planning, operation, and management, needs to be done at the system level. Sub-optimization of individual city components will not lead to the optimal performance of the all system. Multi-target optimization is not an easy task, but it becomes necessary as different components and systems are interlinked and interconnected – irrespective of where they are physically located.
Innovation in the form of 'smart city solutions' can deliver technologies, products, and services that meet the dual challenges of reducing greenhouse gas emissions and delivering more efficient services. Cities worldwide are modernizing and becoming poles of competitive strength.
The rapid development, and globalization, of information and communication technologies (ICT), can support the deployment of these solutions and their integration at system level. Applications as local small-scale energy production, as well as the transport solutions, for example, are the key enablers for cities becoming more resource-efficient while better meeting the users’ needs. It can be said that efficient ICT, where the Internet of Things has a central role, is a common dominator: tying together services, residency, mobility, infrastructure, and energy.

The goal of the demonetization move in India is to make the economy stronger and eliminate the parallel cash economy which is unaccounted and untaxed. While this can impact the GDP negatively in the short term, it should have positive long term consequences. For e-commerce companies, which already have a digital payments system in place, it should lead to higher online payment and eventually eliminate the painful cash on delivery option. However, in the short term, witness a decline in GMV from India as the economy adjusts to the “new normal”.
Msme funding – Opportunities & Challenges (Part 5)Resurgent India
In India, the preferred mode of finance is either self or other sources. This further complicates the situation, as with these sources an enterprise cannot challenge the increasing competition
Funding Sme – MSME FINANCE – DEMAND & SUPPLY - Part - 9Resurgent India
The present domestic market conditions do not provide enough opportunities for the MSME sector for raising low cost funds. To improve the flow of credit there is a need to provide low cost finance to the MSME sector, which has limited working capital and is dependent exclusively on finance from public sector banks. The cost of credit in the Indian MSME sector is higher than its international peers. A transparent credit rating system, simplification/reduction in documentation for accessing finance, providing interest rate subvention to the MSME sector must be taken into consideration in order to maintain the growth of the MSME sector.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - Mezzanine Financing - Part - 8Resurgent India
Business owners need finance in order to invest but they want to retain control of their business and not give up valuable equity. For MSMEs the financing options are limited and private equity investors are usually interested in larger companies, while business angel investors are more active in start-ups. Furthermore, conventional bank lending is often not available for projects that could be classified as speculative. That’s where mezzanine finance comes in. Mezzanine finance is a fairly well-known type of funding, which sits between traditional bank debt and equity and it is exactly what many MSMEs need.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - Alternative financing sources ...Resurgent India
Securitization of Trade Credit: Trade credit is an important source of financing for MSMEs, as they sell on credit to their large customers and then wait for long periods for payment. If these receivables (trade credit) could be packaged as a securitized asset, which would essentially be a commercial paper with the credit rating of the large firm, it could help MSMEs reduce their investment in working capital and their need for finance significantly. The credit worthiness of a typical MSME would also improve, qualifying it for greater bank funding. Though the securitization process which is similar to factoring, could be more cost-effective than bank funding, factoring, and letters of credit.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - MSME FUNDING - NEED FOR ALTERN...Resurgent India
Finance is the lifeline of any enterprise. India has one of most extensive banking networks in the world. Despite, a considerable expansion of the banking infrastructure during the recent years, the provision of finance to grassroot level businesses, scattered across the nation, still remains an enormous challenge. Going ahead, it is also observed that Indian MSMEs have limited access to finance. Majority of the MSMEs operates on the funds of its promoters, thus limiting its growth. The limited or nonavailability of institutional finance at affordable terms is also hindering innovation in the Indian MSMEs.
Funding Sme – The Challenges And Risk Within - MSMEs CONTRIBUTION TO ECONOMY ...Resurgent India
Economy, with more than 31 million units employing more than 80 million persons. Further, productivity of the MSME sector has been improving significantly with fixed investments and employment growing consistently over the past few years. This is a direct indication of the efforts focused on this sector to integrate the workforce with technological enhancements to increase production. Fixed investments in the MSME sector between FY07 and FY12 has grown at a CAGR of 6.5 per cent and employment has grown by more than 6 per cent (y-o-y). Further, between FY07 and FY12, the sector’s total gross output grew at a CAGR of 6.3 per cent - reiterating the substantial contribution of the MSMEs to the Indian economy.
MSME Financing - Alternative Financing Instruments - Part - 14Resurgent India
Asset-based finance, which includes asset-based lending, factoring, purchase-order finance, warehouse receipts and leasing, differs from traditional debt finance, as a firm obtains funding based on the value of specific assets, rather than on its own credit standing. Working capital and term loans are thus secured by assets such as trade accounts receivable, inventory, machinery, equipment and real estate.
MSME Financing - Financing options available to MSMEs-II - Part -10Resurgent India
SME exchange
GOI and regulators have initiated several measures to address the low level of MSME financing through the capital markets. In March 2012, post issuance of SEBI guidelines, both BSE and NSE have set up institutional trading platforms in the SME segment to allow MSMEs to list and raise equity capital through venture funds, private equity and wealthy individuals, without initial public offerings.
MSME Financing - FINANCING MSME’S IN INDIA - Part - 7Resurgent India
Finance is life blood of any enterprise. But Indian MSMEs have always suffered the deficiency of this life blood, despite India having one of the most extensive banking networks in the world.
The present domestic market conditions do not provide enough opportunities for the MSME sector for raising low cost funds. To improve the flow of credit there is a need to provide low cost finance to the MSME sector, which has limited working capital and is dependent exclusively on finance from public sector banks. The cost of credit in the Indian MSME sector is higher than its international peers.

Empowering MSMEs - Benefits of Credit Rating in MSME - Part - 8Resurgent India
Approaching a credit rating agency is a good option for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) given the problems they face in seeking finance. Rating agencies assess a firm's financial viability and capability to honour business obligations, provide an insight into its sales, operational and financial composition, thereby assessing the risk element and highlights the overall health of the enterprise.
Empowering MSMEs - Skills Development of the MSME Sector - Part - 7Resurgent India
One of the thrust areas for increasing the competitiveness of MSMEs includes skills development. Skills development not only helps in improving productivity but also fosters entrepreneurship. Hence, it is imperative for the concerned governmental agencies, trade associations and MSMEs to come together and discuss on how to make training programmers relevant and attractive for MSMEs. The lack of human resources has been a long-standing problem faced by MSMEs in the country. Despite India’s large pool of human resources, the MSMEs continue to lack skilled manpower required for manufacturing, marketing, servicing, etc.

2. Introduction
The concept of Smart Cities originated in a U.S. information technology
company IBM. The CEO Sam Palmisano put forward this concept of smart
earth in the roundtable in January 2009. The idea that smarter planet
building would lead a new generation of economic investment and
acknowledged such concept as the information superhighway plan has since
received wide and positive affirmation and creation of Smart Cities is
receiving policy focus in countries throughout the world.
3. One reason is that across the world, the stride of migration from rural to
urban areas is accelerating numerically. By 2050, about 70 per cent of the
population will be living in cities, and India is no exception. It will need
about 500 new cities to accommodate the influx. Smart Cities offer a
conceptual and practical tool box to deal with unprecedented urbanization.
Urbanization in India has historically been viewed as a by- product of failed
regional planning. It is only now that it is being realized that it is inevitable.
However, the policy and practice surrounding urbanization will only change
when the benefits of urbanization overtake the costs involved, it is an
opportunity for achieving faster growth.
Introduction
4. Smart City
What is a Smart City?
• In ideal terms a working definition may be that a ‘Smart City' is an urban
region that is highly advanced in terms of overall infrastructure, sustainable
real estate, communications and market viability.
• It is a city where information technology is the principal infrastructure and
the basis for providing essential services to residents.
• There are many technological platforms involved, including but not limited
to automated sensor networks and data centers.
• Though this may sound futuristic, it is now likely to become a reality as the
‘smart cities’ movement unfolds in India.
5. Smart City
• In a Smart City, economic development and activity is sustainable and
rationally incremental by virtue of being based on success-oriented market
drivers such as supply and demand.
6. The Concept of Smart Cities
The consolidated view on Smart Cities is, however, more tentative. Wikipedia
defines Smart Cities as
• An emerging conceptual view of a city that promotes the use of Information
and Communication Technologies (ICTs) to engage with citizens to develop
social capital and intellectual capital, to make better use of hard
infrastructure (physical capital), reduce usage of environmental capital and
support smart growth (sustainable economic development).
• However, there is no strict definition of a ‘Smart City’. We may define Smart
Cities as those cities which have at least five of the eight parameters listed in
the diagram.
8. Smart Governance
• Smart Governance includes political and active participation, citizenship
services and the smart use of e‐Government. In addition, it often relates to
the use of new communication channels, such as e-government or
"e‐democracy".
• New Technologies enable the introduction of a new relationship between
Local Governments and citizens; in particular regarding the introduction of
public on‐line services and the use of New Technologies to improve the
participation of citizens in public decision‐making.
9. Smart Governance
• In general, e‐ Government can be considered as a concept that consists in
improving public governance and the provision of public services through the
use of ICT (e‐Government), improving the consultation and decision‐making
processes using ICT (e‐democracy) and improving public policy making, with
the use of ICT, incorporating more critical agents throughout the process
(e‐Government).
• In all these aspects, the role played by citizens has a special impact. The new
relationship emerging from e‐Government has led to the emergence of a new
kind of citizen, the e‐citizen.
10. Smart Citizen
The differentiating element between a digital city and a Smart City is Smart
People. People are smart in terms of their skill and educational levels, as well
as the quality of social interaction in terms of integration and public life and
their ability to open to the outside world.
12. Smart Citizen
Education and Training
• A key element in the development of cities is having well‐educated citizens.
In addition to having well‐educated citizens and a university with a major
presence in the city, another priority is to adapt the educational offer,
especially considering the changes that society is going through due to
globalization and the advancement of new technologies.
13. Smart Citizen
E-Learning
• New technologies are evolving at breakneck speed; therefore, it is important
to design digital development plans in classrooms that mainly focus on closing
the digital divide, promoting the digital skills of teachers and incorporating
the new generation of digital learning resources.
• New technologies contribute to improving people's education and training
and, in that sense; virtual education offers many benefits, such as reduced
costs, flexible hours and greater interaction.
14. Smart Energy
• The variable nature of power generation from renewable energy sources
requires that networks, generation and consumption are connected in an
efficient and intelligent way.
• To date, power supply has been governed by the consumption- oriented
generation model. Because power will be increasingly generated from
renewable energy sources in the future it is necessary that we move to a
model based on principles of smart power generation, smart power grids,
smart storage, and smart consumption.
15. Smart Technology
• Technological development, supported by Innovation, is essential to offer
competitive products and services. In addition to Research & Development,
we must also promote innovation, which includes areas such as new means of
marketing and more efficient organizational and managerial systems.
• Smart City technologies are being developed to address a range of issues,
including energy management, water management, urban mobility, street
lighting, and public safety, for example.
• These innovations are underpinned by general developments in areas such
as wireless communications, sensor networks, data analytics, and cloud
computing. The Smart City concept is also driving new integrated approaches
to city operations.

“Smart City technologies are

energy management, water
management, urban mobility,
street lighting, and public
safety. These innovations are
underpinned by general
developments in areas such as
wireless communications, data
analytics, and cloud
computing.”
17. Smart Infrastructure
• Smart Infrastructure designs will need to be anticipatory and proactive to be
truly sustainable. Much like an ecosystem, these will contain many small-
scale, networked elements that serve a multitude of uses, rather than one
single guiding purpose for their existence.
• Urban community garden plots, for example, not only provide food for
urban dwellers, but serve as storm water management systems, allowing
water and waste to be recycled at the smallest scale with real-time sensors
telling the centralized system how much less will have to be processed
downstream.
18. Smart Infrastructure
• Cities will need to accurately measure current conditions, and model the
future. Sensors and technological controls embedded within new and
retrofitted urban designs could monitor existing conditions and provide real-
time feedback in case modifications are needed.
19. Smart Mobility
• Smart Mobility aims to improve operational efficiency through linking traffic
road information, the vehicle condition, real-time data acquisition and
integration of urban traffic capacity, thus achieving smooth flow of traffic
running with RFID automatic toll collection technology and other data
gathering instruments.
• Data are collected mainly through the embedded RFID chip on public
transport vehicles and private cars, through video monitoring, coil
monitoring, radar monitoring, floating car technology in real-time data
acquisition, and GPS positioning.
20. Smart Mobility
• The data processing system offers decision making suggestion based on
comprehensive data collected, providing forecasts or optimization
instructions based on corresponding databases, model bases, and knowledge
bases. Upon this basis, a further development of application can be used for
traffic control, coordinating among the police, control center personnel and
drivers.
21. Smart Building
• At the most fundamental level, smart buildings deliver useful building
services that make occupants productive (e.g. illumination, thermal comfort,
air quality, physical security, sanitation, and many more) at the lowest cost
and environmental impact over the building lifecycle.
• Reaching this vision requires adding intelligence from the beginning of
design phase through to the end of the building's useful life. Smart buildings
use information technology during operation to connect a variety of
subsystems, which typically operate independently, so that these systems can
share information to optimize total building performance.
22. Smart Building
• Smart buildings look beyond the building equipment within their four walls.
They are connected and responsive to the smart power grid, and they interact
with building operators and occupants to empower them with new levels of
visibility and actionable information.
23. Smart Healthcare
• The application of new technologies in ways that affect health care, from
diagnosis to monitoring patients, including the management of the
organizations involved in these activities, is defined as Smart Healthcare.
• Smart Healthcare provides citizens with considerable advantages in terms of
information, and even favors the availability of alternative diagnoses and of
remote treatment or tele‐assistance.
• Through the use of new technologies, citizens can enjoy a number of on‐line
medical services, including key services such as requesting an appointment
on‐line or the possibility of having a digital record.
