  • Will India ever break into the ranks of the rich nations or is it just a myth, explains Kabeer Goswami – Primex News Network

    Will India ever break into the ranks of the rich nations or is it just a myth, explains Kabeer Goswami – Primex News Network

    Mr. Kabeer Goswami addressing entrepreneurs at a summit by BHISM

    April 29: India is widely referred to as a developing youth nation with one of the fastest-growing economies in the world. Often compared to the promising economies of Turkey, Mexico, and Brazil, it has been predicted by World Bank CEO, Kristalina Georgieva in 2017 that India will become a higher middle-class income country by 2047, as soon as India completes 100 years of independence. Productivity consultant Mr. Kabeer Goswami who is highly known for his strategic advisory to various sectors like blockchain, education, finance, real estate, pharmaceuticals, politics, etc explains, will the youth nation ever break into the ranks of the rich nations or is it just a myth?

    Mr. Kabeer Goswami agrees with Kristalina Georgieva’s statement as it is an achievable target but said that blindly believing the statement without a plan will lead to defying our expectations. Mr. Kabeer Goswami further added that to achieve the said target, our government must undertake vital steps to boost our per capita income and GDP.

    Sharing his thoughts on the same, Mr. Kabeer Goswami added, “Although India is a nation of creative minds and hard-working attitude, we are still unable to use every individual to their full potential. India is blessed geographically in terms of soil and can produce anything and everything yet we are unable to do so. Despite constant labor in the agricultural segment, Indian farmers are unable to live a promising life and are in debt.”

    To achieve the goal of becoming a higher middle-class income country by 2047, Mr. Kabeer Goswami insists on three major pointers to be considered for a positive outcome:

    Firstly, to ensure the growth trajectory India must learn to cooperate with technological advancements and scientific innovations. Despite a great talent pool and prominent resources, India has resisted several technological advances and embraced scientific changes. Highlighting the impact and benefits of technological advances in various economies, Mr. Kabeer Goswami added, “This decade has leveled up the economic growth with the help of blockchain technology, cryptocurrencies, and decentralized finance. The total realized gains in 2021 in the USA were $46.9B, the UK $8.1B, Germany $5.5B, China $5B, and so on. Understanding the substantial growth that technology can provide, India must step up and embrace the same with open arms.”

    The second piece of advice by Mr. Kabeer Goswami is that India must solidify its foundation by supporting entrepreneurship & MSMEs. In the past couple of years, entrepreneurship and skill development have become a growth catalyst for several countries. However, India has been unable to take the same into account for its fundamental growth. While most of the global technology is being outsourced to India because of India’s talent pool, internally we fail to unlock and unleash our resources’ capabilities. We must learn to appreciate and accommodate our national talent. Shedding light on the prevailing issue, Mr. Kabeer Goswami said, “If the visa policies just get liberal for a few countries, majority of Indians will move across borders leading to brain -drain. Therefore, it is time to re-define, re-engage and re-energize our national spirit.”

    Lastly, Mr. Kabeer Goswami said, “Instead of just showing government sectors making a loss every financial year, the government should plan accordingly to get the profit from their very own sectors. Absolute privatization will only lead us to become controlled, occupied, and nothing else. We must empower our public sector units and make them profitable.”

    Mr. Kabeer Goswami believes that to understand the fundamentals of growth, one must be aware of the historical series of growth. India boasts of a robust history that roars and throbs in the heart of every Indian. Looking back at mid 18th century, India used to contribute 25% globally in manufacturing and output. Back then we were a global leader as we were providing solutions to the world in major segments like food, lifestyle, architectural solutions, science, medicines, physics, meditation, spirituality, and a lot more. This implies that we were smart and cooperative with technological advancements & scientific Innovations.

    Towards the end of the session, Mr.Kabeer Goswami adds, “The biggest lacuna in the overall approach I observe as a consultant that India is still living in the era where we are not supposed to accept advancements, were adopting new methods & policies are scary and decades-old practices are the shackles, by saying this I only say India as a youth nation, has the potential to lead the world but non-cooperation to the advancements can make the scenario even worse.”

    Mr. Kabeer Goswami requests not to let the World Bank down by providing them wrong and missing out on the target and opportunities or else we might look like a sinking ship in front of the whole world and might get into a “middle-income trap”, a term used by experts which will choke us from further growth.

  • G Square Group announces “G Square Industrial Estate”, A 400 Acres Industrial Park in Arakkonam – Primex News Network

    G Square Group announces “G Square Industrial Estate”, A 400 Acres Industrial Park in Arakkonam – Primex News Network

    Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], April 29: G Square Group one of the largest reliable realtor and Tamil Nadu’s No. 1 real-estate brand recently announced their new industry-based project by the name of “G Square Industrial Estate”. G Square Group has a lot of experience in this sector and has already delivered close to 1000 acres of industrial land to its major clientele including companies like CEAT, JK Tyres, ELGI, Murugappa, CGI, Ascendas etc.

    Mr Eshwar N, CEO of the G Square Group said that “This is our most ambitious project and it isone-of-a-kind. “G Square Industrial Estate” is an industry-specific project launched with the objective of attracting major industries to set up their plants in Tamil Nadu. The project which is based out of Arakkonam, Tamil Nadu aims to cover a total area of close to 400 acres. The purchasers have been given a wide range of choices when it comes to size of the plot, ranging from 20 acres to 100 acres. It will be the only park to include such large quantities of land available for industrial use. The best part about these plots is that they are work-ready which means that activity can be commenced immediately upon purchase. In order to make the plots more lucrative to business we have also kept the projects affordable”

    He went on to say that “The project has excellent railway connectivity near the plot which means that the project is an excellent choice for companies that are in the cement, steel and logistics industry. The industries are also going to have no dearth of labour forces as Arakkonam is considered to be the labour pool of Tamil Nadu because of its proximity to Thiruvallur, Sriperumbudur and Chennai. There are many other wonderful features of the project also like the availability of a helipad in the plot to aid emergency transport, power substations in the site and abundant availability of groundwater. What makes the “G Square Industrial Estate” an even more appealing prospect for those in the steel industry is the fact that the project has already received the red zone approval and permits the setting up of a steel industry. Considering the difficulty in bureaucracy involved in getting approvals for large plots, this is a great opportunity for industrialists everywhere.”

    When asked what was the vision behind the project, Mr Eshwar said that “Our aim is to make Arakkonam the first affordable industrial park in Tamil Nadu and solve the problem of making readymade industrial land available to industries. We want to make Tamil Nadu the most industry-friendly land in the country and provide employment to many people also. What makes us different from others is our effort to give industries freedom to operate and minimize restriction.”

    About G Square Industrial Estate

  • Nium’s Pratik Gandhi bullish about Socash acquisition agreement – Primex News Network

    Nium’s Pratik Gandhi bullish about Socash acquisition agreement – Primex News Network

    New Delhi (India), April 28: Acquisition combines Socash’s technology for local payment acceptance with Nium’s global platform for money movement network for a modern approach to digital commerce in emerging market.

    Nium, the global platform for modern money movement, today announced a definitive agreement to acquire Socash, a Singapore-based alternative payments network platform. Socash brings together financial institutions and digital commerce merchants into a thriving network that allows consumers to deposit, withdraw, and make payments with cash from more than 30,000 local shops, cafes, and grocery stores.

    The acquisition provides Nium with the team and technology to enable multiple forms of local payment acceptance for digital commerce, especially in emerging markets. Cash is still a preferred method of payment across the Asia Pacific and Latin American markets, and the acquisition of Socash allows Nium to accept cash for transactions online – bridging the physical and digital worlds. Together, Nium and Socash become the full-stack, platform-of-choice for global merchants with capabilities for local acceptance, multicurrency accounts, foreign exchange, and global payouts.

    The acquisition is expected to close in Q3 2022, subject to customary regulatory closing conditions.

    “The Socash team has built an impressive platform that bridges payments in the digital space with payouts in the physical world,” said Pratik Gandhi, Co-founder and COO of Nium. “When compared to current in-app payment costs, we estimate Socash saves up to 30 percent in commissions paid. With this acquisition, Nium can offer a lower-cost payment processing alternative for digital merchants, spanning local payment acceptance through to global payouts.”

    Alternative payment methods (APMs), including e-wallets, real-time bank transfers, and electronic cash have seen a surge in growth globally as an easier way to transact online. According to the World Bank, 45 percent of global consumers already use a mobile wallet, versus 18 percent of consumers who rely on credit cards for payments – online and offline. Cash acceptance for online transactions, from bill payment to in-app purchases, is still a popular use case, especially for 1.7 billion people who the World Bank estimates remain unbanked. This acquisition makes for a more inclusive financial system, where global consumers are given the power to pay as they choose.

    Nium is the global platform for modern money movement. It provides banks, payment providers, and businesses of any size with access to global payment and card issuance solutions. Its modular platform powers frictionless commerce, helping businesses pay and get paid across the globe. Once connected to the Nium platform, businesses are able to pay out in more than 100 currencies to over 190 countries – 85 of which in real time. Funds can be received in 27 markets, including Southeast Asia, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore, Australia, India, and the US. Nium’s growing card issuance business is already available in 34 countries, including Europe (SEPA), the UK, Australia and Singapore. Nium’s license portfolio covers 11 of the world’s jurisdictions, enabling seamless global payments and rapid integration, regardless of geography.

    Nium was named among “Financial Times APAC High-Growth Companies” and “Best B2B Payment Platform at Future Digital Awards” in 2021.

  • How Orris Infrastructure’s resilience won back Greenopolis project – Primex News Network

    How Orris Infrastructure’s resilience won back Greenopolis project – Primex News Network

    New Delhi (India), April 28: Greenopolis real estate project started, as an innovative blend of green efficient technologies that creates an eco-friendly habitat by focusing on the efficient use of energy, water, and building materials, in 2011. It was also registered by the IGBC Green Homes Rating System. Featuring a colourful mix of public, semi-public, and private rooms that were all linked by a network of walkways, this residential project was a representation of architecture and intelligence blended together. Parks play areas, plazas, shopping and entertainment centres, all were woven into the fabric of vibrant community life. The vision was to create an environment-friendly habitat encompassing all elements of spiritual and physical well-being.

    The Development Agreement was executed between Orris Infrastructure and Three C Company, wherein Orris was the landowner and the 3C Company, was the Developer and was supposed to develop the project. Soon, Orris Infrastructure realized the malafide intentions of the Three C Company, when Three C Company started delaying the construction of the project.

    The Orris Infrastructure along with other land owners procured license on land admeasuring 47.218 acres in sector -89, Gurgaon, for development of Greenopolis project, which was agreed to be constructed on 37.218 acres. On the complaint of the “Greenopolis Welfare Association”, Welfare Association of the Greenopolis project before HARERA , Orris, came to know, that the Three C Company was infact siphoning money to its counterparts and group companies and the same was discovered on the basis of the report filed by the Currie and Brown in the proceedings held before HARERA and thus not pouring the complete money collected for completion of Greenopolis project with no intention of spending the money fairly for completion of  Greenopolis project.

    The Three C Company, in connivance with a contractor, initiated insolvency proceedings. To save the interest of innocent buyers, Orris Infrastructure presented its intention of taking complete responsibility for the development of project before HARERA. Fortunately, on the 7th of October, 2020, an order was passed by HARERA asking Orris Infrastructure to develop the project as per the timelines provided by the Orris Infrastructure. This order was later held back due to the appointment of an IRP on 16th October, 2020.  Thereafter, this matter went upto Hon’ble Supreme Court. The Supreme Court finally directed NCLT to decide the matter expeditiously and to decide whether the proceedings under HARERA and orders passed therein will have any bearing on the proceedings initiated before the NCLT under the IBC.

    Orris Infrastructure was resilient and filed an application before NCLT for finally disposing the matter. The company struggled for the rights of homebuyers and after a long legal battle, Orris’s rights were recognised. Orris rose to the occasion when the order was passed on 29th March, 2022, stating that the project belongs to Orris Infrastructure and Three C was merely a contractor in the project and the RP will have no control over the escrow account.

    This state-of-the-art residential project is finally ready to take shape with all its glory. Orris has already started the work for completing the project as per timelines. Over 1800homebuyers, who have put their hard-earned money into the property will experience the happy moment of getting possession soon.

  • Indian graduate aims to minimise deforestation with innovative mobile app – LYNKE – Primex News Network

    Indian graduate aims to minimise deforestation with innovative mobile app – LYNKE – Primex News Network

    New Delhi (India), April 28: An Indian graduate, Raul Rath, with a Bachelor of Design from the University of Melbourne, encourages us to consider how millions of trees are cut down every year for the creation of physical business cards. To help minimize this issue of deforestation in a world where the effects of climate change are a cause for serious concern, Raul Rath’s design studio, WISQEY Studios, has recently released an innovative mobile app – LYNKE – that allows us to create and share personalized business cards. This completely free app, now available on the Play Store and the Apple App Store, makes creating, updating and sharing digital business cards extremely convenient. The best part is that it allows us all to do our bit for the environment by going paperless when it comes to our business cards.

    LYNKE, a very simple app to use, makes it easy for anyone with a smartphone to create their own personalized digital business card – their own ‘LYNKE’. When you first download the app, you can create a new account for yourself by verifying your email address and entering some basic registration details. You can then choose a custom theme and LYNKE ID for your digital business card, adding information to your card that is displayed through interactive icons. Your digital business card is then ready to share. To make this app even more game-changing, you can edit your business card as often as you like (as opposed to paying for a set of new business cards every time your phone number changes), add others to your contacts list (never lose someone’s business card again), and share your LYNKE business card across a variety of platforms.

    LYNKE was created keeping in mind the global challenges that we are faced with today. Raul believes that “the impacts of climate change can be catastrophic, and the continued use of paper to make physical business cards is only making things worse. The team behind LYNKE hopes to change this story.” Roughly 100 billion business cards are produced each year, leading to the loss of approximately 6 million trees. Considering almost 88% of all business cards are thrown away within a week, LYNKE offers us a much more environment-friendly option. “The fact there are about 6.6 billion smartphone users worldwide, we need to rethink our choices when it comes to how we share our personal or professional information.”

    COVID-19 on the other hand, with social distancing, no-contact policies, remote-working, and the risk of infection, has created other issues for the exchange of physical business cards. LYNKE allows digital business cards to be updated in real-time and shared with others from a distance – no contact necessary. “This aims to solve the problems that traditional business cards carry,” says Raul. Considering the world has made great advancements in technology, it is time to put a stop to deforestation for the production of business cards. “Physical business cards are difficult to manage and impossible to update,” Raul explains. The app’s advanced yet easy-to-use editing options means that even after a LYNKE has been shared, it will always hold the most up-to-date information. This cutting-edge mobile app offers us a solution to the pressing issues that surround us.
