  • Visionary Entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla Inspires at 3rd Edition of ET Now Diversity and Inclusion Summit 2024

    Visionary Entrepreneur Srikanth Bolla Inspires at 3rd Edition of ET Now Diversity and Inclusion Summit 2024

    New Delhi (India), June 21: On June 21, 2024, the ET Now Global DEI Alliance hosted its 3rd edition of Diversity & Inclusion Summit at Taj Santacruz, Mumbai. The event, meticulously organised by the Alliance to promote their mission of fostering inclusivity and innovation on a global scale, welcomed an extraordinary keynote speaker – Srikanth Bolla, Founder & Chairperson of Bollant Industries and the first international visually impaired student at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, US.

    The summit, bringing together media personalities, industry leaders, and changemakers, provided a comprehensive platform for discussing crucial aspects of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) in the workplace

    Bolla, whose life story recently captured public imagination through the biopic “Srikanth” starring Rajkumar Rao, shared his remarkable journey from a rural background to becoming a successful businessman and advocate for inclusivity. Despite being born blind to poor agricultural farmers, Bolla’s determination led him to study at the prestigious Massachusetts Institute of Technology and later found his own company.

    In his keynote address, Bolla emphasised the importance of dreaming big and having a clear vision, stating, “Vision is all that it takes, and dream is all that matters for us to achieve anything in spite of our disability or issues that we tackle with.” His words resonated deeply with the DEI-focused audience, underscoring the event’s theme of breaking barriers and creating opportunities for all.

    The entrepreneur shared insights from his experiences in the manufacturing sector, where his company focuses on creating sustainable products while employing people from marginalised backgrounds, including those with disabilities. Bolla’s innovative approach challenges the concept of cottage industries, aiming instead for world-class, efficient enterprises that can compete globally. This business model served as a powerful example of how companies can integrate DEI principles into their core operations, creating both social impact and business success.

    Bolla’s speech touched on the challenges of entrepreneurship, likening it to a spiritual journey. He stressed the importance of compassion, exposure to opportunities, and the willingness to face hardships in achieving one’s goals – all key elements in creating truly inclusive workplaces and societies.

    Throughout the summit, the Global DEI Alliance facilitated discussions on how organisations can move beyond surface-level diversity initiatives to create genuinely inclusive cultures that value and leverage diverse perspectives.

    Bolla’s presence and words served as a powerful reminder of the untapped potential that exists when barriers are broken down and opportunities are extended to all, regardless of physical limitations or social background. The ET Now Global DEI Alliance reaffirmed its dedication to continuing this important conversation and driving meaningful change in workplaces around the world.

  • NDA’s Electoral Dynamics in India under MODI 3.0

    NDA’s Electoral Dynamics in India under MODI 3.0

    New Delhi (India), June 20: Shri Narendra Modi is an illustrious leader and the esteemed Prime Minister of Bharat (India). His leadership under the banner of MODI 3.0 aims to guarantee welfare, Digital India, Aatmanirbhar Bharat (self-reliant India), Amrit Peedi (generation of nectar), and Vikshit Bharat 2047 (developed India by 2047). These goals are promising and achievable, reflecting a vision for India’s growth and prosperity.

    However, despite these ambitious plans, the NDA (National Democratic Alliance) experienced a decrease in seats in the Lok Sabha elections of 2024. This decline is attributed primarily to voter fatigue and the allure of freebie offers, such as the annual promise of Rs. 1 lakh presented by the opposition. The INDIA bloc, comprising 37 parties, made extraordinary efforts in grassroots mobilization and strategic alliances with regional parties, which significantly impacted the election results despite being considered weaker combinations.

    Gains Made by NDA Alliances in Odisha and Andhra Pradesh

    Odisha

    • Strategic Alliance with BJD: The BJP formed a crucial alliance with the Biju Janata Dal (BJD) in Odisha, leveraging BJD’s strong local presence and Naveen Patnaik’s leadership to bolster NDA’s prospects in the state.
    • Development Projects: The central government’s development projects in Odisha have gained local support. Infrastructure improvements and initiatives like PMAY and Ujjwala Yojana have benefited the rural and urban poor, enhancing the government’s image.
    • Cultural and Religious Initiatives: Support for promoting Odisha’s cultural heritage and religious tourism has been substantial. The projects surrounding the Jagannath Temple in Puri, such as the Jagannath Heritage Corridor, have received a positive response. These endeavors have enhanced tourism and solidified the NDA’s relationship with the local customs and emotions.

    Andhra Pradesh

    • Alliance with TDP: The alliance with the Telugu Desam Party (TDP) has strengthened the NDA’s position in Andhra Pradesh. Chandrababu Naidu’s leadership and focus on development have aligned well with the NDA’s vision for a modern India.
    • Special Category Status Negotiations: The NDA has made a commitment to addressing the unique needs of Andhra Pradesh, including negotiations around granting Special Category Status. This commitment has been a significant factor in gaining local support. Despite being contentious, these efforts have shown the central government’s willingness to accommodate state-specific demands.
    • Infrastructure and Technology Initiatives: Focusing on improving the infrastructure, like ports, airports, and IT hubs, supports the economic growth of Andhra Pradesh and its goals for modernization. An important example is the development of the Amaravati capital region as a model city. Investing in technology and innovation, including supporting start-ups and digital infrastructure, is attracting the interest of young people and city residents.

    Challenges Faced by NDA in Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra

    Uttar Pradesh

    • Voter Fatigue: After prolonged governance, voter fatigue is a significant issue. Despite the NDA’s efforts, a section of the electorate desires change or new leadership, leading to decreased support.
    • Caste Dynamics: The complex caste dynamics in Uttar Pradesh pose a significant challenge. Despite attempts to unite the Hindu vote, internal divisions and the popularity of regional parties such as the Samajwadi Party (SP) and Bahujan Samaj Party (BSP) continue to hold strong influence. The BJP’s efforts to appeal to non-Yadav OBCs and non-Jatav Dalits have produced mixed results, as regional leaders use caste loyalties to maintain their support bases.
    • Promise to provide Rs.1lakh p.a. by INDIA bloc: Voter’s were mis-guided with bald promise of Rs.1lakh p.a i.e., Rs.8,500/- per month in a dramatic phrase “TakaTa-TakaTa”.
    • Agrarian Distress: Issues related to farmers, such as inadequate pricing, delayed crop payments, and agrarian distress, have led to discontent among the rural community. Farmers’ protests and demands for better MSP (Minimum Support Price) and debt relief have impacted the NDA’s rural support base. Implementing controversial farm laws and their subsequent repeal highlighted the tensions between the government and the farming community.

    Maharashtra

    • Alliance Dynamics: When the Shiv Sena-BJP alliance broke up, the Maharashtra Vikas Aghadi (MVA) government was formed with Shiv Sena, NCP, and Congress, weakening the NDA’s position. The MVA’s ability to govern effectively despite ideological differences showcased the strength of regional alliances against the NDA.
    • Urban Discontent: Urban areas, especially Mumbai, have experienced dissatisfaction due to issues such as housing, infrastructure, and the management of the COVID-19 pandemic. The NDA’s handling of these problems has been viewed as insufficient, impacting its support from urban voters. The effects of demonetization and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) on small businesses and traders have also added to the urban discontent.
    • Strong Regional Leaders: The rise of influential regional leaders like Uddhav Thackeray and Sharad Pawar has posed a significant challenge to the NDA’s dominance. Sharad Pawar’s influence in rural Maharashtra and his skill in coalition politics have been particularly challenging for the NDA.

    Conclusion

    Narendra Modiji’s leadership and the vision of MODI 3.0 promise a future of welfare, digital advancement, self-reliance, and a developed India by 2047. However, the decrease in NDA seats in the Lok Sabha elections in 2024 highlights the complex and evolving nature of Indian politics.

    The gains made by the NDA in states like Odisha and Andhra Pradesh through strategic alliances and development initiatives underscore the importance of regional partnerships and targeted policies. In contrast, challenges in states like Uttar Pradesh and Maharashtra, driven by voter fatigue, caste dynamics, agrarian distress, urban discontent, and the strength of regional leaders, reflect the multifaceted and dynamic landscape of electoral politics in India.

  • Strata Global Makes Strides in Sustainable Infrastructure with Major Milestones on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway

    Strata Global Makes Strides in Sustainable Infrastructure with Major Milestones on Delhi-Mumbai Expressway

    New Delhi (India), June 20: Strata Global, a global leader in the geosynthetics manufacturing industry, proudly announces significant progress on the ongoing project along the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. This transformative infrastructure project connects the Sohna Elevated Corridor in Delhi to the Jawaharlal Nehru Port in Maharashtra, passing through key cities such as Dausa, Kota, Ratlam, Vadodara, and Surat.

    Spanning 1,350 kilometers and featuring an 8-lane wide (expandable to 12-lane) design, this expressway links India’s national capital, New Delhi, with its financial hub, Mumbai. Strata Global’s cutting-edge approaches to retaining walls and erosion control are setting new benchmarks in sustainable infrastructure development.

    Project Milestones and Innovations

    The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, a crucial infrastructure endeavor, has greatly benefited from Strata Global’s advanced geosynthetics technology. The company has successfully completed substantial portions of the retaining wall and erosion control measures, demonstrating their expertise and commitment to innovation.

    Reinforced Soil Wall and Erosion Control

    Strata Global has provided its high-quality StrataGrid uniaxial geogrids and StrataWeb® geocells for the project. The company supplied geogrids totaling 2,013,178 sq. meters for reinforcement, ensuring the structural integrity and environmental sustainability of the expressway. StrataWeb®, their innovative confinement technology, has been utilized for erosion control, covering approximately 18 lakh sq. meters.

    Additionally, Strata Global implemented their geosynthetic reinforcement system, StrataWall EC. This system offers a safe and economical solution, using significantly less steel and resulting in substantial cost savings and enhanced durability. The use of StrataBlock, their modular precast T-shaped block, further exemplifies their innovative approach, providing robust erosion protection while significantly reducing carbon emissions compared to traditional methods.

    Erosion Control with StrataWeb® Geocells Near Kim, Gujarat

    One notable highlight is the erosion control using StrataWeb® geocells near Kim, Gujarat, a segment of the Delhi-Mumbai expressway. This technology not only improves the durability and safety of the highway but also contributes to significant environmental benefits.

    Carbon Footprint Reduction

    Strata Global is leading the charge in reducing carbon footprints in infrastructure projects. Traditional stone pitching for erosion protection emits approximately 0.002652 tonnes of CO2 per sqm. By switching to StrataWeb®, a substantial carbon saving of 20% has been achieved.

    In retaining wall construction, the environmental benefits are even more pronounced. Traditional RCC walls consume about 0.3 tonnes of CO2 per sqm. In contrast, the reinforced soil walls constructed by Strata Global consume only 0.06 tonnes of CO2 per sqm, resulting in an impressive 80% reduction in carbon emissions. These figures underscore Strata Global’s commitment to sustainable construction practices, setting a new standard in the industry.

    Pioneering Sustainable Solutions

    Strata Global’s innovative solutions not only enhance the durability and safety of the Delhi-Mumbai highway but also deliver significant environmental benefits. Their approach demonstrates that infrastructure development can be both effective and eco-friendly. As the project progresses, Strata Global remains dedicated to pioneering sustainable solutions in geosynthetics, continuing their efforts to reduce carbon footprints and promote green construction practices across various infrastructure projects in India.

    About Strata Global

    Strata Global is a leading provider of geosynthetic products and solutions for infrastructure projects. With one of Asia’s largest manufacturing plants for geogrids, geocells, geotextiles, and geocomposites, the company boasts a production capacity of 65 lakh sqm, with a maximum width of 5.7 meters.

    Strata Global is the largest reinforcement soil wall contractor, on-site concrete block manufacturer, and geogrid manufacturer in India. The company’s focus on innovation and sustainability is evident in its global presence, with offices in India, the USA, and Spain, and a vast network of distributors across continents.

    Founded in 2007 as a joint venture between US-based Glen Raven Inc and Strata Global, the company has developed expertise in retaining walls, reinforced soil slopes, embankments in highways, landfills, mines, railways, ports, and container yards. With a commitment to minimizing time and cost, Strata Global delivers up to 35% savings on materials for each project.

    New Delhi (India), June 19: In an interview with Advocate A M Iktear Uddin (Anik), a highly regarded lawyer based in Bangalore, partner of law firm known as Prime Legal, www.primelegal.in .We aim to delve into his extensive experience in the field of law, particularly in handling over 30,000 cybercrime cases globally. Recognized and rewarded by various state police departments for his contributions in nabbing cybercriminals, Advocate Anik is also an integral part of the close knit working group established under the Ministry of Home Affairs to combat cybercrime. We seek his insights on the challenges posed by cybercrime and effective strategies to address them.

     What is cybercrime

    A crime which takes place by using computers, networks, or digital devices. typically      involve the intention to harm someone

     What are Cyber Threats and Crimes?

    Crimes include:-

    A. Cyber Fraud Deceptive practices online to gain access to sensitive information or financial resources.

    G. Intellectual Property Theft: Stealing creative works, inventions, or proprietary information.

    H. Man-in-the-Middle

     What Motivates Cybercriminals as per your experience?

    Most of the time we find this happens for financial gain, personal grievances, or the desire for recognition and power. 

    How Do Cyber Crimes Take place?

    As we discussed the methods above, they predominantly exploit trust, where attackers breach the victim’s trust through these methods.

    We encounter cases where individuals record private moments of victims during video calls and later blackmail them for money. Other methods include sharing OTPs, capturing screens, clicking malicious links, and various other approaches.

    Important Acts and Sections:

    • Information Technology Act, 2000: Primary legislation in India dealing with cybercrimes and electronic commerce.
    • Indian Penal Code 1860 ( set to change toThe Bharatiya Nyaya (Second) Sanhita (BNS2)

    We are not mentioning any sections to avoid complications with the new law

    What Should a Victim of Cybercrime Do Immediately?

    1. Immediately secure your accounts by changing passwords, documenting the incident, and preserving all evidence.
    1. Report the incident to the authorities by filing a complaint on the National Cyber Crime Reporting Portal. Include all relevant details, such as bank account information, transaction IDs, and a comprehensive statement of the issue. If the fraud involves financial transactions, inform the bank’s cybercrime team.
    1. Write a detailed complaint with evidence Visit the police or a cyber crime station and file a complaint there as well..
    1. If necessary, seek advice from a lawyer or advocate experienced in handling cybercrime cases.
    1. It’s important for the victim to maintain regular contact with the assigned investigating officer to stay informed about the progress of the investigation, recovery efforts, and any other relevant updates.

    How Does Police/ Law Enforcement Track Cybercriminals?

     In cases of financial and other frauds, police/law enforcement authorities send emails to      banks’ nodal officers to request the sharing of account holder details, debit freeze of the accounts ( for various layers), and other pertinent information. They are also actively engaged in digital forensics, analysing digital evidence from devices, tracking IP addresses to identify the source of cyber activities, and employing various other investigative methods.

    Can you share the meaning of Layered Transactions.

    In nearly all financial cybercrimes, I’ve observed that once criminals successfully transfer money, they swiftly move it through multiple accounts, a process known as peer-to-peer (P2P) transactions. The initial transaction is labelled as Layer 1, with subsequent transactions named accordingly in sequence.

    How Can we Protect ourselves from Cyber Threats?

    a. Create strong passwords: Combine letters, numbers, and symbols for enhanced security.

    b. Enable two-factor authentication: Adds an extra layer of protection to your accounts.

    c. Keep software updated: Regular updates patch vulnerabilities.

    d. Avoid suspicious links and emails: Protect against phishing attacks. Never share OTPs without verification.

    e. Use antivirus software: Safeguard against malware and other threats.

    f. Establish security policies: Clear guidelines for data protection and privacy.

    g. Conduct regular security audits: Identify and fix vulnerabilities proactively

    h. Provide cybersecurity training: Educate employees on best practices.

    i. Backup data regularly: Ensure continuity of business operations.

    How can the victim of cyber crime fraud release funds from the court?

    To proceed with your request after confirming with your case investigating officer that the funds have been blocked, follow these steps:

    A. Consult a Lawyer: Share the details of your case with a lawyer.

    B. Signature on Vakalatnama: Your lawyer will obtain your signature on a Vakalatnama.

    C. File a Release Application: The lawyer will file a release application in the concerned court.

    D. Court Process: The court will schedule a hearing to review the public prosecutor’s report, known as CD (case details) reports.

    E. Police Report: The police will provide the necessary information to the public prosecutor, who will then submit the report to the court.

    F. Argument and Order: Your lawyer will present arguments in court to obtain a release order for the funds.

    G. Conditions: The court may order the release of the funds with certain conditions.

    What is your advice to the general public and government on cyber crime-related issues?

    I urge the government to enhance public awareness and implement legislation requiring network service providers and bank account holders to share robust KYC (Know Your Customer) information.

    Every citizen should prioritize their safety by exercising caution, monitoring financial activities, and promptly reporting any suspected cyber crime to the police or consulting a lawyer.

  • Balancing Act: Examining Central-State Fiscal Relations in India with Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B

    Balancing Act: Examining Central-State Fiscal Relations in India with Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B

    Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], June 19:  India’s federal structure hinges on a delicate balance between the central and state governments. A crucial aspect of this balance is fiscal federalism – the division of financial resources and responsibilities. Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B, a seasoned chartered accountant and political figure, sheds light on this complex relationship.

    “Article 16 focuses on equality of opportunity in public employment,” says Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B, “but the allocation of funds falls under different constitutional provisions, like Parts XII and XIV.” These parts outline the distribution of revenues, grants, and principles that govern such allocations.

    Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B believes that the recent recommendations by the 15th Finance Commission offer promising advancements. Increased tax devolution to states, rising from 32% to 41%, enhances fiscal autonomy and spending power. “This strengthens their ability to invest in areas like healthcare, education, and infrastructure,” he shares. 

    Additionally, the commission emphasises sector-specific grants and boosts local government finances by mandating a 31% share of the divisible pool for them. Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B adds, “Performance-based grants of Rs. 4.36 lakh crore incentivise states to improve health, education, and rural infrastructure.”

    However, challenges remain as Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B highlights that the central government still retains a larger share of revenue-raising powers and controls crucial taxes like GST and corporate tax. He says, “This limits states’ financial capacity.”

    He also points to the issue of mandated fiscal deficit targets for states, saying, “These rigid targets restrict their ability to invest in infrastructure, especially during economic revival phases.”

    Another concern is the limited scope of performance-based grants. “Excluding sectors like environmental management and social security hinders crucial development areas,” explains Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B.

    Shri CA. Venugopal Swami B believes that fostering effective fiscal federalism requires a careful re-evaluation of existing arrangements. “Prioritizing central expenditures and discussing a new grant framework are crucial steps,” he says.

    The recent announcement of the 16th Finance Commission’s Terms of Reference signals a commitment to refining the system. By prioritising government finances and fostering collaboration between central and state governments, India can work towards a more balanced and effective fiscal federalism.
