Government won't deboard Air IndiaThe government remains committed to the disinvestment of Air India but has no plan to exit the national carrier altogether, Union minister Jayant Sinha said today.The proposed stake sale in the debt-laden airline failed to take off as it did not receive any Expression of Interest (EoI) from potential bidders when the deadline ended on May 30.The government is also working on ways to improve the performance of Air India.Against this backdrop, Sinha told the Rajya Sabha that the government remains committed to the disinvestment of Air India.In a written reply, the Minister of State for Civil Aviation said the government "has no such plan to exit Air India altogether"."In view of volatile crude prices and adverse fluctuations in exchange rates, the present environment is not conducive to stimulate interest amongst investors for strategic disinvestment of Air India in the immediate near future."The issue would be revisited once global economic indicators, including oil prices and forex conditions stabilise," he said.As per its audited accounts, the airline's total cumulative losses stood at Rs 47,145.62 crore in financial year 2016-17.According to Sinha, Air India has been making losses since merger with Indian Airlines in 2007.High interest burden, increase in competition, high airport user charges, adverse impact of exchange rate variation and liberalised bilaterals to foreign carriers leading to excess capacity in the market are among the major reasons for the losses, he said.
The project China doesn't want you to knowHey, itâ€™s Selina Wang in San Francisco here. Chinaâ€™s Belt-and-Road project isn't just about moving stuff around, it's also about technology.Xi Jinping announced the initiative almost five years ago as a way to rebuild the ancient Silk Road, increasing Chinaâ€™s reach throughout Europe, Asia and Africa. Sure, the trillion-dollar-plus initiative involves railways, roads and ports in more than 60 countries. Yet, as China builds infrastructure projects around the world, itâ€™s also exporting technology to those regions. China wants to build telecommunications equipment, infrastructure for the internet of things and smart cities, and e-commerce links in countries it invests in.State-controlled carriers China Mobile, China Telecom and China Unicom have been been laying optical cables in regions involved in the Belt-and-Road initiative, from Africa to South America. Many places theyâ€™re operating in have little digital infrastructure, so there's a huge opportunity to set the standards in those countries. Huawei's push to commercialize 5G technology around the world is closely aligned with the government's objectives. And Inspur, Chinaâ€™s largest server maker, is striking partnerships to provide data centers and fintech-related services in Belt-and-Road countries.Chinaâ€™s internet giants also stand to gain from this 21st century version of the Silk Road. Alibabaâ€™s goal to eventually serve 2 billion customers fits squarely into Beijingâ€™s plans. The e-commerce giant has been investing in businesses across Southeast Asia, making partnerships in the region to develop e-commerce platforms and build warehouses, as well as developing smart city projects around the world. Ant Financial, Chinaâ€™s fintech giant, has been providing payments services across emerging markets.So while todayâ€™s headlines are focused on trade disputes, the longer-lasting story is how China is building out its global influence, through trade infrastructure and technology. China wants the countries it invests in to follow its standards on everything from cybersecurity to artificial intelligence to construction, according to Andrew Polk, co-founder of research firm Trivium China. For instance, China is translating its domestic high-speed rail documents into English so they can be exported abroad, Polk said.Foreign companies "are very focused on the Belt-and-Road initiative because they see the center of gravity shifting. They're competing with China abroad, not just in China anymore," Polk said.Yet the initiative has run into several roadblocks. Projects have been halted because of the mounting debt countries have to take on and concerns about China's geopolitical expansion. Critics have argued that the Belt-and Road initiative introduces security risks in partner countries, by giving China influence over telecommunication networks and other technologies.Ultimately, though, the initiative underscores how China is playing the long game when it comes to trade infrastructure and tech. "It's almost entirely about geopolitics," Polk said. "It's all about China making its vision of China taking its rightful place as a major part of the global economy.
WhatsApp launches APIs for businessesNext time you book flight tickets online, you may get the confirmation message on WhatsApp. And if that flight is delayed, the airline could send you a WhatsApp message with the new timing.WhatsApp is launching its first revenue-generating product in India for enterprises to interact directly with customers using the instant messaging platform.WhatsApp for Business APIs (application programming interface) will debut with MakeMyTrip, Indiaâ€™s largest online travel agent,customer service software provider Zendesk and Gurugram-based pharma delivery startup 1mg, which uses Zendesk in India.â€œLast year we saw that a lot of small businesses were using the app for communicating with their customers. We realised that it was a useful tool for businesses in India and created value for the consumers as well,â€ said Matthew Idema, chief operating officer at WhatsApp, told ET.WhatsApp had started piloting the business offering since September last year with companies like Bookmyshow. It was officially launched in January and this is their first attempt at monetising the offering. Companies such as online retailers will be able to integrate WhatsApp for Business APIs with their systems and reach out to customers through notifications and deal with their queries. While installation of the product is free, enterprises will be billed for every message that is delivered.â€œNow we are going ahead with the next step of our strategy and launching WhatsApp Business APIs mainly for businesses that need more scale than a typical smartphone could provide to interact with their customers,â€ Idema said.With this new tool, large enterprises will be able to send notifications like airline tickets, travel details and information on products that customers have bought online. At the same time, customers will be able to directly interact with the company for their doubts, grievances and other requirements.The service is currently being piloted with Indian companies such as Bookmyshow, Kotak Mahindra and RedBus.Also from 2019, WhatsApp will use the Status feature â€" where text, photos, videos and animated GIFs can be shared for 24 hours â€" to let companies advertise and promote their businesses. They will appear between slides and will clearly be marked as coming from a business. The company said the plan is to start rolling out the product in 2019 and eventually be scaled up globally.The advantage of WhatsApp over SMS is that message delivery can be confirmed. By charging companies only for messages delivered, the cost for Indian startups will reduce.â€œSMS services cost enterprises around 10 paise for each message on an average and even if there are 1 crore transactions happening daily on a platform, the cost for the whole year is really huge, WhatsApp will be able to bring down costs drastically and bring in an added layer of comfort while interacting with the customer,â€ said Sampad Swain, chief executive officer of Instamojo, a digital payments platform for small merchants selling their products online.WhatsAppâ€™s monetisation plans come in the midst of controversies in India over the rapid proliferation of fake news on the platform. The company said it plans to scale up the paid product so that it can ensure that the offering is used only for its right purpose.To maintain a standard of interaction and user experience, WhatsApp has devised an innovative method through which it will check and approve enterprise message templates, which will be developed by the merchants.The company has also developed a way by which companies will have to respond to customers within 24 hours of a message being delivered or else the next message will be charged extra. This is aimed at ensuring that companies are prompt in responding.While online enterprises are expected to be the main users of WhatsApp for Business APIs, there is scope for the platform in banking.â€œThere are multiple use cases that are possible on WhatsApp but we are also looking at customer adoption of this channel for banking,â€ said Deepak Sharma, chief digital officer at Kotak Mahindra Bank, which is piloting banking services on WhatsApp. â€œIn case of Twitter, we had seen rapid early adoption but the momentum did not continue. This time we will wait to see how it picks up among customers.â€WhatsApp is looking for someone to assume the leadership role in India and build its India office. It is working closely with the Indian government to adhere to the data localisation norms and will be looking at integrating its payments product on the platform.With 1.5 billion monthly active users globally and more than 200 million users in India alone, India is the largest market for the Facebook-owned company.Founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton, who sold WhatsApp to Facebook in 2014 and have since left, were opposed to monetising through advertisements.

It was officially launched in January and this is their first attempt at monetising the offering. Companies such as online retailers will be able to integrate WhatsApp for Business APIs with their systems and reach out to customers through notifications and deal with their queries. While installation of the product is free, enterprises will be billed for every message that is delivered.â€œNow we are going ahead with the next step of our strategy and launching WhatsApp Business APIs mainly for businesses that need more scale than a typical smartphone could provide to interact with their customers,â€ Idema said.With this new tool, large enterprises will be able to send notifications like airline tickets, travel details and information on products that customers have bought online. At the same time, customers will be able to directly interact with the company for their doubts, grievances and other requirements.The service is currently being piloted with Indian companies such as Bookmyshow, Kotak Mahindra and RedBus.Also from 2019, WhatsApp will use the Status feature â€" where text, photos, videos and animated GIFs can be shared for 24 hours â€" to let companies advertise and promote their businesses. They will appear between slides and will clearly be marked as coming from a business. The company said the plan is to start rolling out the product in 2019 and eventually be scaled up globally.The advantage of WhatsApp over SMS is that message delivery can be confirmed. By charging companies only for messages delivered, the cost for Indian startups will reduce.â€œSMS services cost enterprises around 10 paise for each message on an average and even if there are 1 crore transactions happening daily on a platform, the cost for the whole year is really huge, WhatsApp will be able to bring down costs drastically and bring in an added layer of comfort while interacting with the customer,â€ said Sampad Swain, chief executive officer of Instamojo, a digital payments platform for small merchants selling their products online.WhatsAppâ€™s monetisation plans come in the midst of controversies in India over the rapid proliferation of fake news on the platform. The company said it plans to scale up the paid product so that it can ensure that the offering is used only for its right purpose.To maintain a standard of interaction and user experience, WhatsApp has devised an innovative method through which it will check and approve enterprise message templates, which will be developed by the merchants.The company has also developed a way by which companies will have to respond to customers within 24 hours of a message being delivered or else the next message will be charged extra. This is aimed at ensuring that companies are prompt in responding.While online enterprises are expected to be the main users of WhatsApp for Business APIs, there is scope for the platform in banking.â€œThere are multiple use cases that are possible on WhatsApp but we are also looking at customer adoption of this channel for banking,â€ said Deepak Sharma, chief digital officer at Kotak Mahindra Bank, which is piloting banking services on WhatsApp. â€œIn case of Twitter, we had seen rapid early adoption but the momentum did not continue. This time we will wait to see how it picks up among customers.â€WhatsApp is looking for someone to assume the leadership role in India and build its India office. It is working closely with the Indian government to adhere to the data localisation norms and will be looking at integrating its payments product on the platform.With 1.5 billion monthly active users globally and more than 200 million users in India alone, India is the largest market for the Facebook-owned company.Founders Jan Koum and Brian Acton, who sold WhatsApp to Facebook in 2014 and have since left, were opposed to monetising through advertisements.
Accenture will set up a fast-track recruitment process for all eligible finalists. The company has hired finalists of this contest in the past two years.
