Dr. S.N. Sridhara, VC, Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science, Chennai speaks about the initiatives taken by HITS to make students industry ready

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“Instead of becoming employment seekers they are actually becoming employment givers,” says Dr. S.N. Sridhara, Vice Chancellor, Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science, Chennai in an interview with Chandan Anand, Founding Editor, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘ArdorComm – Higher Education and Edtech Conclave & Awards 2022’ #HEETbengaluru As we have witnessed how the industry has sailed off from a traditional mode of education towards the digital mode of education, your views and how did your institute perform in the last two and a half years? It’s an appt question as all of us know already the pandemic has taught a lot of lessons to all the institutions, a few institutions which were ready digitally they could take off and I’m happy to say that Hindustan Institute of Technology and Science is one of such premier institute. The day actually the lockdown was announced the next day we were online because already we had the online platform ready and we were delivering it offline and online together so this is a big lesson for all of us and then we took it further. Any change in the mode of teaching and in the curricula, which could make a student industry ready, how did HITS prepare itself? Yeah there were many challenges during pandemic also the first one has basically many of the faculty members, though they were industry ready in terms of their experience etc they were not able to make use of the online platforms immediately and moreover the online platforms which are available during pandemic were so primitive in the beginning that today I could see because of you know entry of ed-tech companies they have improvised the whole scenario and they have made it easy to use by faculty as well as to the students also and earlier there were no proctoring systems available now the proctoring systems are also available for the exams this is another boon and I should be thankful to the friends from ed-tech company who took all our problems and then interacted very quickly and then giving the solutions. And of course, coming to the way actually we changed our scenario in terms of teaching learning process. Earlier it was only blackboard everybody thought that the physical interaction is only the best way to teach but later faculty started learning a new method of using LMS basically learning management system and also using animations, using flipped classrooms etc and so on. So, the technology enabled learning and teaching experiences have grown multi folded and I think almost all the faculty across the globe have learned this particular technique thanks to pandemic again. What is your focus or stress on entrepreneurship how can we prepare a student for an entrepreneurship mode? Fantastic it’s a very good question nowadays actually everybody is looking at what is your placement and to my surprise actually from past two years and especially after pandemic we are finding that many of the students are actually thinking that they can become entrepreneurs. Instead of becoming employment seekers they are actually becoming employment givers. In my own institution we have a technology business incubator called Hindustan Technology Business Incubator and we have incubated more than 100 companies already through ourselves and of course this has already come into the curriculum. There is one more unique thing what we have done under NEP is that we have introduced the innovation and design course in the very first year so the very first year the students learn to innovate and also learn to operate and also to make some fabrication using niche equipment with that actually as they grow up and as they move on with the higher semesters they learn the basic knowledge as well as the skills also and they are made industry and nowadays I find that most of my Ed-tech company friends here are also very young and I can see that many of them are the young entrepreneurs and they are doing really well so there is a lot of hopes for it and I think joining hands with everyone who would like to make our Atma Nirbhar Bharat as per our honourable PM’s vision. Conclaves like this or the forum like this where we are bringing government, industry and academia how does it help overall to the society or the communities? Yeah, it’s so good actually in the morning session we had two government officials here one from NAAC and one from Government of Karnataka and I am so happy to see that the mindset of these government agencies has changed so much because of the drive being done by our honourable Prime Minister and also the perception happening here and this platform was very good to actually give them an awareness as such not only that their own initiatives but the awareness given through our educational partners like our ed tech companies. They are telling that these are the new technology we have so why don’t you take it and similarly for me as you know from the academia I’m also seeing a lot of opportunities in terms of tech companies which are giving a lot much of technology oriented assistance for us and definitely this is going to be a very good boon to take it further so it’s a win-win situation for all three, academia, the agencies as well as for the industries. Any plan of expansion where a teacher exchange or a student exchange can happen nationally or internationally? Yeah, we have been doing it actually from past 10 years itself we have actually MOU with nearly about 100 universities across the globe and our faculty and students exchange is being happening already but now after they covid I think it is going to be multi-folded increase. There are three reasons for it the first reason students want to go to abroad but basically the expenses are so high so it is not possible to spend whole lot money for the

Zomato offers shares to employees for one rupee

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

The online food aggregator Zomato has given its employees and employees of its subsidiaries 4,65,51,600 equity shares with a face value of Rs 1 each. From its employee stock option plan, or ESOP pool, the Company distributed stock options totalling more than Rs 63 lakh in 2018. It distributed shares valued at Rs 4.02 crore three years later, in 2021. As a result, the Company has so far allocated shares totalling Rs. 792.02 crore. Zomato shares are under selling pressure as a result of promoters, employees, founders, and others connected to the company selling off their shares now that the one-year lock-in period has ended. The lock-in period for over 613 crore shares, or about 78% of the Company, has ended just one year after the IPO. Investor uncertainty resulted from the share prices of Zomato falling as low as Rs 40.60 on July 27. Investors now face more issues as a result of the Company’s recent acquisition of Blinkit. The shares did make a quick comeback and are currently trading at more than Rs 43. At an exercise price of one rupee, Zomato has distributed Rs 4.65 crore worth of equity shares from its ESOP (employee stock option plan) pool. The Company has told the stock exchange that its board of directors has approved the distribution to workers “upon exercise of vested options” of “4,65,51,600 equity shares having a face value of Rs 1 each, as fully paid-up.”

5G Spectrum auction enters day 3; receives bids worth Rs 1.49 lakh cr on day 2

Leave a Comment / / Media Entertainment & Art Community

Day 3 of India’s 5G spectrum auctions began on Thursday with the tenth round of bidding for the airwaves required to provide lag-free connectivity and ultra-high-speed internet. After the ninth round of the second day’s largest-ever auction for mobile signal spectrum in the nation, bids for 5G airwaves totaled more than 1.49 lakh crore. Union minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Wednesday that bids totalling 1,49,454 crores were received in the ninth round. “I am happy to see good competition in auction, good competition for all bands have come in,” Vaishnaw said, adding, “Bids worth ₹1,49,454 crore have been received so far at the end of 9th round.” According to the telecom minister, the third day of the 5G spectrum auction was extended, and it is continuing on Thursday. He added that demand is evident in all spectrum bands. The second day of the auction, which would enable ultra-high speeds about ten times faster than 4G and usher in new-age offerings and business models, began at 10 am and ended at 6 pm with nine rounds of bidding. After four rounds of spectrum bidding, the government got spectrum bids of 1.45 lakh crore on the first day of auction on Tuesday. On the first day, companies owned by businessmen Mukesh Ambani, Sunil Bharti Mittal, and Gautam Adani, as well as Vodafone Idea, placed bids totalling 1.45 lakh crore. On Wednesday, five rounds were held to receive more offers for airwaves. According to analysts, Ambani’s Reliance Jio may be the most aggressive competitor. The bid specifications have not yet been disclosed. According to ICICI Securities’ estimate, Jio most likely selected 10 MHz of spectrum in the exclusive 700 MHz band, placing the highest bid of 80,100 crore. ICICI Securities noted in its report, “It appears Adani has bought 26GHz spectrum in 20 circles (except in Delhi and Kolkata), and its total spectrum purchase could be 3350MHz for ₹900 crore. Our estimate is provisional as data does not reflect the entire purchase by Adani. We believe, it should have purchased 200 MHz spectrum in all circles except Gujarat, where it would have bought 400MHz.” Bharti Airtel may have submitted a bid for spectrum in the 1800 MHz and 2100 MHz bands for 45,000 crores, which is 20% higher than anticipated. Adani Data Networks should have picked 26 GHz spectrum across India, whereas debt-ridden Vodafone Idea likely bid for 18,400 crores, according to the report. Source: PTI

TCS revamps Marks and Spencer’s HR function

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

In order to provide a modern, digital employee experience, Tata Consultancy Services worked with Marks and Spencer (M&S) to digitally change its HR function and connect its future business goals with HR initiatives. TCS has been a prominent player in several business-critical technology and transformation programmes and has been a strategic partner to M&S for more than a decade.  The retail giant selected TCS to lead its HR transformation as well. The extensive contextual and functional expertise of TCS consultants was used to create business processes and experiences that were in line with the demands and standards of the modern workforce. The team utilised the Oracle HCM suite to construct a contemporary, flexible, and scalable cloud-based solution using those blueprints. The M&S deal, according to Abhijit Niyogi, vice president and business unit head-retail UK & Europe at TCS, has created a significant opportunity in the HR sector in the UK and Europe. “We are in active discussion with multiple different retailers at this point of time for such implementation.” “During the [coronavirus] pandemic companies hired several thousands of employees across regions, but these recruits never got to experience the joining process, which is the first step experience of connecting with the company. Hence what we have crafted for M&S resonates well with several other players in the regions,” said Niyogi. TCS migrated 27 million records of M&S employees working across 1,450 locations in the UK as part of the effort, enabling secure, seamless data connects across the landscape.

Dr. Madhur Gupta, Dean, St. Francis Business School & Director, St. Xavier’s College, Bengaluru emphasizes on the evolution of education during pandemic

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“Learning can happen when you want to learn,” says Dr. Madhur Gupta, Dean, St. Francis Business School & Director, St. Xavier’s College, Bengaluru in an interview with Chandan Anand, Founding Editor, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘ArdorComm – Higher Education and Edtech Conclave & Awards 2022’ #HEETbengaluru As we have seen and witnessed from last two and a half years how the education industries has totally evolved. How has your organization or institutions responded to this change? So, I’m looking for two institutions St. Xavier’s College and St. Francis Business School, last two years are quite historic years I would say how we have changed from students sitting in the class and at their home, it’s really different and first time we all were experiencing and learning it all together. It was a big learning for the management, professors, learners who are in the home they are more comfortable, they were more free, disciplinary issues were less but there was a connect missing what I found and for that we have reduced theoretical portions we have given them lot of hands-on tasks, we have also increased lots of industry interaction, hands-on learning. We have given them very simple assignments which they can do by their own where a lot of innovation creativity is there. We have given them very simple things how being at home, simple gardening can be connected with your life, how you can be very happy by not going out, talking to your friends physically, partying out what are the different ways you can feel peace and happiness and still you are learning at home. Because I feel learning did not much happen in the closed cage classrooms, it happens with the very hard ways in life and when you really learn it means you are grown up. So most of us have learned the big lessons of our life where we have come outside of the institutions so last two years students were not in the institutions physically and we are trying to make them a balanced life giving them very less assignments to write more ideas to produce because there was enough time and most of the students were on online social media. They were talking about what is going on and also, we have learned how to come out of certain things which we were not at all prepared so this is a lesson of life we can get into any trouble don’t worry things will be there we can come out and this was something none of us were really prepared so we were shifting from our technology lot of technologies have been learned together. Our professors were also learning students were also learning so nobody was kind of an upper side or lower side. Some of our students were so smart they were helping us to learn this new technology how to connect, how to login, log out, how to create certain classrooms, how to upload notes so this is a very good environment happened in our institution where we were happily learning from our kids from our students and everybody was helping each other. Another thing we have learned what is an emotional support because when we were not going out so a lot of pleasures were not there, so we have learned how to connect with our family members, again we have learned how to cook together we have learned how important it is to be at home and that also whatever was available because lot of helpers were not there a lot of pleasures were not there. So, it’s a good time and now students are back, institutions were kind of lifeless without students, life is back but still this learning mode which we have learned is very important. If you are working, if you are not able to attend an institution we have learned a new way. Learning can happen when you want to learn. How skill plays an important role apart from the regular academics and the curriculum? It’s a very good question I always underline this, skills are very important all the skills which define us in our life, be it cleaning, cooking or technology we need to upgrade our skills we need to appraise our skills we need to understand not the theory studying in the class is important but the skills which we develop and there are interpersonal skills how you treat with people, are you really smiling enough, are you really so approachable that people would like to come and talk to you or they would like to ask help from you whenever they are in some trouble. So, these skills will always help you to work in a team because everybody would not sit on a laptop and work, there are few IT coding people other people will have to work in a society, in an interpersonal skill. So please develop your skills go out talk to people learn humanity, humility learn how to be grounded, down to earth it doesn’t matter how you are, how you look, what you wear, what position you carry, which chair you sit. How you make people feel when they talk to you is only important that’s why people will remember you. Today is also a very special day for ArdorComm Media as we are celebrating our one year of existence and we are celebrating our anniversary, any message would you like to give for ArdorComm Media? First of all, a huge congratulations to you Mr. Chandan and it’s such a happy day today, ArdorComm Media is a one-year-old baby and I wish you, your company, your teammates, everyone a very very successful long journey and I would like to meet you again on an international platform like this very soon where I would like to see ArdorComm in the whole world connecting leaders, educationist, students together.

Prof. B. Thimme Gowda, Vice Chairman, Karnataka State Higher Education Council, Govt. of Karnataka emphasizes on the industry academia connect to make higher education relevant

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“Digital education plays an important role in the present-day education and blended learning is the order of the day” says, Prof. B. Thimme Gowda, Vice Chairman, Karnataka State Higher Education Council, Govt. of Karnataka in an interview with Chandan Anand, Founding Editor, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘ArdorComm – Higher Education and Edtech Conclave & Awards 2022’ #HEETbengaluru We welcome you at today’s event. How does these kinds of summits and conclaves benefit the higher education sector? Yeah thank you Mr Chandan Anand, I’m very happy to be part of your conclave. Connecting the academia and industry it is very important, it would go a very long way. In bringing together the industry and academia together that would be the order of the day because the industry and academy are put together we have to frame the programs and design courses and the contents and whatever that is relevant to the Indian society and elsewhere it has to be done. It cannot be done in isolation it can only be done in collaboration with the industry. Therefore, in that way these types of conclave would help us in finding industry academia connect and therefore what we have to do is now it was perceived that vocational education is inferior to general education, it is not so it is not true. NEP emphasizes on integrating vocational education into general education it can be either an additional course or it can also be integrated into general education as two discipline subjects, one vocational and the other discipline eventually so that the candidate can get the degree in both the vocational and the discipline and in addition to that there can also be apprenticeship embedded undergraduate programs in universities and colleges that can only be done in collaboration with the industry. That’s what we have initiated in the state of Karnataka under the visionary leadership for honourable higher education minister Dr. C N Ashwath Narayan. Similarly, it will also be introduced in all the universities so that it is to improve the employability of graduates and in addition to that the online education has become order of the day and all the institutions which have NAAC grading of 3.26 and above are NIRF ranking two consequently two consecutive times below 100 can run online programs which are treated equivalent at par with the regular education. Therefore, the digital education plays an important role in the present-day education, all these transformations all higher education institutions have to bring in to survive the education part or to improve the employability of our graduates. We have seen a big-time difference, how the overall education industry reshaped and especially in the higher education from last two years of this Covid pandemic. How did under your leadership you made certain changes and revamped certain changes in the system under the council? Yeah you know Covid it’s a curse in one way but it is a boon in disguise because that has helped us to concentrate on digital educational online education therefore the UGC and the national regulatory authority has realized the importance of it and therefore it has allowed in all undergraduate programs up to 40 percent of the courses can be studied through online programs we have made similar changes in Karnataka also. In all the university regulations governing various degree programs we have allowed 40 percent online programs. Therefore, the blended learning has become order of the day and therefore with the introduction of academic bank of credits the candidates can earn credits in blended mode and pull them together get the degree because even as per UGC the candidate has to earn only 50 total credits from that institution which awards the degree. Other credits can be earned through other modes therefore the blended learning has become order of the day. As you know in today’s meeting as we are gathering we are also celebrating our one year of existence and this is our anniversary day. Any message would you like to give for ArdorComm Media? Now I have realized the importance of media like ArdorComm Media company because you are helping in bringing the academy and industry together without which higher education cannot become relevant, order of the day. Therefore, to make it relevant, remain relevant the industry and academy have to come together this can only happen when companies like yours, ArdorComm can bring them together so that they can probably interact arrive at what is needed for this society that way you are playing an important role in the society. I congratulate you for your potential and efforts.

Dr. M. S. Shyamasundar, Senior Advisor, National Assessment and Accreditation Council, Govt. of India elaborates on the digital transformation in education community

Leave a Comment / / Interviews

“In NAAC we are giving the very due weightage and we are empowering the education community with a digital transformation which is the order of the day,” says Dr. M. S. Shyamasundar, Senior Advisor, National Assessment and Accreditation Council, Govt. of India in an interview with Chandan Anand, Founding Editor, ArdorComm Media Group at the ‘ArdorComm – Higher Education and Edtech Conclave & Awards 2022’ #HEETbengaluru We have seen a major transformation of education from last two and a half years what has been the role of NAAC as an eye opener to the education industry? Now NAAC also has taken a different role especially in the era of pandemic because in the pandemic several higher education institutions came across very many challenges they were not able to come for face-to-face interactions that’s why now we have started very many webinars in a short span of time. We were able to organize several thousands of webinars to go for hand holding exercise of all the higher education institutions and also, we have created our website in a very robust way. Our website is self-explanatory and also when they want to ask any questions we have gone for artificial intelligence just like that they can ask any generic questions any time that is 24/7 and apart from that we have introduced the concept called IMS that is Issue Management Service, anytime they can ask any clarification if they don’t get appropriate answer from the artificial intelligence and within 24 hours’ time their queries would be resolved. I think that is one of the USP of NAAC. Nowadays three words are quite popular ‘Physical Digital and Phygital’, what is the weightage and why? Now especially in the era of pandemic we are constrained to give more weightage especially for the digital transformation because we there is no other go. Because in the absence of this blended learning maybe about 1.2 billion students across the globe would have been totally deprived from the education. Maybe because of this online learning and blended mode of education all these children have been benefited immensely and in NAAC also we are giving the very due weightage and we are empowering the education community with a digital transformation which is the order of the day. When everyone keeps on going in one track and keep performing how does assessment and accreditation plays a role in that? Now we have given due emphasis for data collection because earlier our physical team was going for face-to-face interaction now university should go for proper documentation and they have to put all the documents in order and they have to submit all the documentary evidences well in time and for that about 70 percent of the evaluation would be done based on their documentary evidences remaining 30 percent would be done by the actual peer team and they would be seeing the realities especially with respect to infrastructural development the digital infrastructure in the institution all these things and it’s a blend of both peer team visit and quantitative evaluation also of the data. How does certain conclave like this where we have industry academy and government makes an impact overall to the communities? Especially in the Indian context the mental framework is not so good maybe if you go to the any developed countries like US their corporates go after the higher education institutions for their research and innovation but in the Indian context still it has not been strengthened but anyway nowadays the trend also has been changed maybe conclaves like this would be helpful to create a platform to interact with industries by the higher education institutions because both the stakeholders from both industry would come together and they can have a proper dialogue and this dialogue will go in a very long way and which will be helpful to all the stakeholders and in turn which would be helpful for the growth and development of our Indian economy. As you know today is a special day ArdorComm Media is also celebrating its one year of existence, this is our first anniversary, any message for ArdorComm Media Group? Yeah within a span of just one year you have taken very many significant initiatives because last time also you did invite me for online program at that point of time also I got the opportunity to speak to stakeholders from industry and academia and this time also I did the same thing. Whatever the initiatives you have already taken please continue with the same set of initiatives and create this type of platforms both for industry and academia and all these people would be benefited immensely. Anyway, at this juncture I wish you all the very best to reach the pinnacles on the on the plateau of all your endeavour.

Doctors on alert for monkey pox symptoms at Delhi airport

Leave a Comment / / Health & Wellness Community

Monkeypox symptoms would immediately get passengers at Delhi’s IGI airport directed to Lok Nayak hospital, according to officials aware of the situation on Monday. The decision was arrived at during a review meeting that Lieutenant Governor VK Saxena presided over. Inspecting passengers for high fevers, joint, and back pain, the airport health team’s doctors would reportedly refer suspected patients to LNJP. The National Institute of Virology in Pune will receive samples from patients who are hospitalised to the hospital. Additional district magistrate Vikram Singhal stated that the district administration would place suspected patients’ families under quarantine and conduct contact tracing. After the review meeting, the LG tweeted: “Reviewed the monkeypox situation in Delhi along with CS, secretary health, DGHS and others concerned. Was apprised of preparedness in terms of medical services, hospital infrastructure, tracing, testing, surveillance and clinical management. Advised officials to ensure all preventive measures. I appeal to the people to not panic and follow all prescribed prevention and treatment protocols.” One case of monkeypox has been reported in Delhi so far; the victim is a 34-year-old Paschim Vihar resident who has never travelled overseas. 13 contacts that belonged to his family or the doctors who initially treated him and suggested home quarantine have been tracked down by the district administration. The health teams presently have the capability to test just those with suspected Covid symptoms, according to officials positioned at the airport. According to sources, 2-3% of international passengers on each flight landing at IGI airport are randomly tested. “Some of the symptoms in both Covid and monkeypox are the same. After randomly testing passengers for Covid-19, we let them go to their destination. If found positive, the reports are sent to them as well as the district and state authorities. It is important that we increase surveillance to screen passengers for the symptoms of monkeypox. We have already written to the government for the same,” an official said, asking to remain anonymous. A team of 150 health professionals are currently stationed at Delhi Airport to screen travellers for Covid-19. A decision to increase the number of doctors, testing teams, and health professionals at the airport has not yet been made, according to sources.

OTT video market in India likely to reach $7 billion by 2027

Leave a Comment / / Media Entertainment & Art Community

According to a media report on Monday, the over-the-top (OTT) streaming video market in India is predicted to reach $7 billion by 2027. The OTT streaming video business in India is currently in its second growth phase, with total revenues expected to reach $3 billion in 2022, according to Livemint, quoting a report published by Media Partners Asia (MPA). New, affluent local players are vying for market dominance in India, lead by Viacom18, which has recently raised new capital and is supported by Reliance, Bodhi Tree, and Paramount. The report stated that established firms like Sony and Zee are going to unite to build a powerful online video and television sector. According to MPA data, India had 97 million OTT subscribers by the end of March. With revenues of more than Rs 17,000 crore in 2021, it is one of the OTT markets with the fastest growth. Subscriptions made up almost Rs 5,200 crore of this total. SonyLIV is now a significant player in this sector thanks to its comeback. Globally dominant companies and freshly capitalised indigenous players are anticipated to face increasing competition in the Indian market. However, telcos’ market presence, together with the advertising video-on-demand (AVoD) sector and low-average revenue per user (ARPU), large volume subscription video-on-demand (SVoD) services, continues to be crucial. Online video revenue in Total Asia Pacific will increase by 16% year on year (YoY) in 2022 to reach $49.2 billion, predicts MPA in its report titled Asia Pacific Online Video & Broadband Distribution 2022. UGC (user-generated) AVoD will contribute 37%, premium AVoD will contribute 13%, and SVoD will contribute 50%. China, the largest market in Asia Pacific, will produce $11.2 billion of revenue in 2022, accounting for 48% of the region’s online video revenue. 20 online video platforms will account for 67% of all APAC online video revenues, according to MPA’s analysis.
