Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

The Indian multinational software giant Wipro has announced that the majority of its employees will receive a 10% raise in September in an effort to reduce attrition. On the basis of pay scale, the top performers can even get an increment of more than 15%. Additionally, the company plans to run promotions every three months. These announcements are a part of Wipro’s efforts to increase the number of young people working there and lower turnover rates. According to reports, promotions will begin in July and continue every quarter up to middle management. Wipro has seen significant attrition for a long time. It was far higher than other IT majors in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year 2022, at 23.8%. Analysts projected high attrition. Rishad Premji, chairman of Wipro, stated a few weeks ago that the company is more focused on growth today than ever before and that it is counting on alliances, acquisitions, and cloud projects to boost growth in the near future. Wipro has recently concentrated on Wipro FullStride Cloud Services. In order to provide its stakeholders, including clients, partners, and cloud professionals, with an integrated and comprehensive cloud transformation capacity, Wipro’s chief growth office has partnered with other worldwide business lines. The IT services provider revealed a month ago that it anticipates expanding its employees in Norway from 85 to 350 over the course of two years. In order to do this, it is also stepping up local investment to provide customers pursuing digital transformation with improved support.

Leave a Comment / / Governance Community

Rajnath Singh, the minister of defence, has issued a warning against the improper use of Artificial Intelligence (AI) applications and stated that the nation needs to consider the potential risks associated with the new technology. “We cannot stop the development of Artificial Intelligence nor should we make such an effort. But we also need to be careful about it. The bigger the change that any technology brings, the bigger and more serious is its transitional phase,” he said. “Since AI is going to bring a massive change, it may bring legal, ethical, political and economic upheaval situations. We have to be prepared for that too,” he added. At a first-of-its-kind conference on “Artificial Intelligence in Defence” hosted by the Defense Ministry, Singh introduced 75 products for the armed services that are powered by AI. He discussed the subject and stated that whenever a new technology is introduced, it takes time for society to adjust its political, social, and ethical standards. “Artificial Intelligence should not be misused in any case. There is a need to work on AI with great care so that in the coming time, it does not get out of our own hands somewhere else,” he added. However, the Minister stated to be a big optimist who likewise has an optimistic outlook on the development of AI. He claimed that numerous initiatives were being made to advance AI in defence. He stated that new autonomous weapons and technologies have been developed so that we can hit their target and destroy the enemy’s establishments even without human control, when speaking about advanced artificial intelligence-driven applications in defence. He asserted that AI-enabled gadgets could manage vast amounts of data and were useful for improving soldier training.

Moderna to advance two Omicron vaccine candidates against newer variants

Leave a Comment / / Health & Wellness Community

Moderna Inc. announced on Monday that it was moving forward with two Omicron vaccine candidates for the fall, one of which was created to protect against the BA.1 variant and the other to protect against the BA.4 and BA.5. Updated vaccines are being developed by vaccine producers like Moderna and rival Pfizer Inc. to combat the quickly spreading Omicron subvariants BA.4 and BA.5, which have recently expanded to the United States. Moderna claimed that a variety of market preferences for jabs against the subvariants informed its choice to develop the bivalent vaccines. The older 2020 variant and the more recent Omicron variants of the coronavirus are the two separate coronavirus variants that are targeted by bivalent vaccines. New clinical data for Moderna’s BA.1 variant-targeting mRNA-1273.214 vaccination revealed noticeably greater neutralising antibody responses against the fast-spreading BA.4 and BA.5 compared with the currently permitted booster, the firm says. The second booster candidate being researched by the company, mRNA 1273.222, is based on the BA.4/5 strain and is being created in compliance with current guidance from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration. Although the company’s BA.1 subvariant-targeting booster has improved durability and antibody response, according to Jefferies analyst Michael Yee, the original Omicron variant has already moved in the United States, and the FDA is likely to approve future BA.4/5 boosters.

Adani Group to bid for telecom spectrum auction

Leave a Comment / / Media Entertainment & Art Community

The Adani group intends to compete head-to-head with Sunil Bharti Mittal’s Airtel and Mukesh Ambani’s Reliance Jio in the race to acquire telecom spectrum beginning on July 26. The Adani group recently received National Long Distance (NLD) and International Long-Distance (NLD) licences. “As India prepares to roll out the next generation of 5G services through this auction, we are one of the many applications participating in the open bidding process,” the group said in a statement To take part in the sale of 5G airwaves, the Adani entity would be required to get a unified access service (UAS) permit from the Department of Telecommunications (DoT) in accordance with Indian telecom regulations. Given the large amount of spectrum up for sale and the existence of just two significant bidders in Jio and Bharti Airtel, Adani’s anticipated involvement could increase competitiveness in the upcoming 5G airwaves sale. The sector regulator Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) recommended reserve prices for 5G auctions, which the Cabinet approved last month. A floor price reduction of roughly 39% was suggested by the regulator for the sale of 5G spectrum for mobile services.

Twitter reduces workers in the TA department by 30%.

Leave a Comment / / Human Resource Community

Twitter has further called for the firing of 30% of the members of the talent-acquisition team after briefly stopping hiring activities this year. The Company disclosed to the media that 30% of the workers in the talent-acquisition department were let go. Twitter has promised that departing employees will get a severance payment, but no specifics have been provided. It’s also unclear how many employees will actually be impacted. Twitter had declared a hiring freeze in the majority of departments in May 2022 as a cost-saving measure. Since Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, is in the process of buying Twitter, it is assumed that the company is making all necessary preparations for its continued operations. Although the CEO of Twitter, Parag Agrawal, stated in a note to staff that the hiring freeze does not signal that there will be layoffs, employees from the talent acquisition department are being asked to leave just a month after the hiring pause. Additionally, Twitter plans to reprioritize the roles of the remaining talent acquisition team members. The continuing takeover of Twitter by Musk has not been favourably received by the company’s current staff. In his interactions with the staff, Musk made it clear that a limited number of employees will be permitted to work from home. Employees of Twitter are currently permitted to work from any place. Musk also stated that the company will make certain logical decisions that may include layoffs in order to achieve financial stability. He had, however, also promised that those who perform well need not be concerned about their jobs.

Nairobi fly infection scare in North Bengal after Sikkim

Leave a Comment / / Health & Wellness Community

The Darjeeling district administration has issued a warning on insect prevention after the acid fly or Nairobi fly infection has caused fear in a number of North Bengali communities. The insect primarily infects children and people with delicate skin. According to officials, the virus originally surfaced in Sikkim and has since spread. The virus has currently infected over 100 students at North Bengal University (NBU), Siliguri. Numerous students have left their hostels in a state of such anxiety and panic to return home. “We have issued an advisory on preventive measures such as wearing full sleeves, avoiding going outside in the evening, using mosquito nets, and using dim light inside houses,” said Darjeeling District Magistrate S Ponnambalam. Infected individuals should seek medical attention right away. According to the director of the Darjeeling District Hospital, the issue is merely a skin disease. In Darjeeling, there are now 3–4 cases, but none of them necessitate hospitalisation. People need to be cool and not panic because nothing seriously threatening would occur in this situation. In actuality, we are unsure whether the three to four patients who arrived coincidentally suffered an insect bite. I will however request a thorough explanation from my seniors. The District Magistrate declared, “Our goal right now is to control the infection and trace the breeding places. I request people not to panic.”
