Technology is the number one item that helps see the improvements
amongst different ecosystems and their joint development. They aim to
bring the linkages to various platforms and find solutions to different
problems, and together we can create intangible solutions. An element
that is lacking is awareness. Both countries are technology hubs.
However, both will not seek help from each other and try partnerships
elsewhere first, and hence it needs to be addressed. creating value
together and not against each other. It is crucial to minimize risk from
both partners and present the technology and create a long-term
activity. More focus should be there upon Agri-Tech

Inaugural Session
10 A.M - 10.30 A.M. Mr. Marco Zehe, Head of Strategy and Transformation,
Bosch Business Sector Mobility,

The consultation on a effective notice provide an explanation for how BOSCH

could be supporting to convert the Automotive enterprise withinside the
subsequent couple of years and ultimately gave a brief creation approximately
the Bosch company. He then defined how the arena is converting that is seen
throughout the globe with greater than 50% of our populace dwelling in towns
and the significance of operating on maximizing the gain for the cease customer.
And additionally, the surroundings secure and stable with answers have to be
comparatively cheap and sustainable. Sir deep-dived in Bosch operating into
megatrends like, customizing your mobility experience, ride-sharing services, e
scooter, and answers for micro-mobility with personalizing the charging answer
for the brand-new vicinity of electrified mobility. They are operating at the
connected, felony structures from vehicle to vehicle, and in the cart. Also, on
absolutely electric powered electricity buying and selling structures are
absolutely operational on battery. Bosch is likewise connecting this with the
charging infrastructure and fee structures. They also are operating on electrified
two-wheeler powertrains with a Brand Mila, which is likewise well-known in
India, and as being a great answer, that is specially all through the pandemic. He
additionally placed weight on new generation withinside the gasoline cell-
powered with the aid of using hydrogen.

Automotive: Technology
disruptions in Mobility: The session started with the introduction of all speakers and a discussion of the
ongoing problem of IC engines becoming the biggest roadblock. And,
Decoding P.A.C.E. for the emergence there is a fuel cell-powered and lithium-ion battery pack, so cars can
future easily run for 600 to 700 kilometres in one charge. But current weakness which
10:30 A.M - 11.30 A.M. is halting Electric Mobility is heating batteries.
The second Speaker talked about the software-defined vehicle and getting
constantly upgrading the E architecture and shifting towards very rich
microprocessor architecture. So, this would mean the car can offer a lot more
experiences for mobility consumers and coupled this with connectivity and
making car features through cloud through over the air updates and configuring
it for individual mobility users is going to open a huge variety of innovation
possible. Like personalize infotainment experience, personalize safety features
opening up the door to go for hyperlocal for consumer behaviour in India.

ㅡ
Automotive: Technology
disruptions in Mobility: Another perspective was given by an esteemed speaker of how India can make
use of Renewable resources. For example, if point 5% of Rajasthan was covered
Decoding P.A.C.E. for the by solar panels, right, just a small bit of the country, right by 2030 We could
future power, every day in the country on renewable energy. This means that for us by
11:30 A.M - 12.15 A.M. 2030 That's a $200 billion automotive opportunity. Another 100-billion-dollar
energy, right, this transformation has never been seen before globally. But
according to the speaker, India is very unique in terms 85% of India moves in
two-wheelers three-wheelers, and buses. The largest two-wheeler
 manufacturer in the world. Probably one of the largest three-wheeler
manufacturers, and a very large exporter. So, India has the potential to become
a global hub related to two-wheelers electric two-wheelers, and three-wheelers.
In addition, the current auto industry, another 100 startups, which means
policies of the government should be geared to enable these to happen, so that
these schemes can also benefit on all of these areas to look at this front right
last and most the most important thing is, in this disruption. Government has to
play a very important role in being technology agnostic and allow every solution
to work, and the policies should be uniform in this area. The duty rates of 28%
electric vehicles are given the necessary encouragement at 12%. Subsequently,
they even reduced it to 5%. For the two-wheeler Sector introduction of
swappable batteries is the next step.
Considering that Ola since the size of the market and the kind of impact is
altogether different, as one lakh bookings in a one-day 24-hour world. A lot of
people got interested in many other electric vehicle brands. India has committed
to reducing the carbon footprint, all around with scrappage policy is that it
should also be dovetailed but another point of in the context of Electric Vehicle
is battery recycling.

ㅡ
Automotive: Future of
Powertrain: Shift towards After the Opening Remarks, the session was directed to the automotive
industry and the emission norms euro six and vision of zero-emission. The
Electrification and Climate crisis has been gaining a lot of traction. And there's social pressure on
Hydrogen Economy world leaders to execute stricter policies and regulations toward net-zero
12:30 P.M - 1.15 P.M. emissions by 2050 To achieve this goal. battery-electric and fuel cell vehicles
are going to be instrumental. Hydrogen is said to be the top clean fuel with its
high energy. Bosch is also focusing on a growth market for the hydrogen
megatrend: the company believes the market for green hydrogen in the EU will
be worth almost 40 billion euros by 2030 – with annual growth rates of 65
percent. Fuel cells convert hydrogen into electricity, and Bosch is developing
both stationary and mobile fuel-cell solutions. From 2021 to 2024, Bosch plans
to invest one billion euros in fuel-cell technology.
Associate Professor, Department of Chemistry, IIT Guwahati explained the
development of a membrane reformer prototype for producing ultra-pure
hydrogen from methanol. The prototype isolated 99.999% pure hydrogen from
a mere 15 ml/minute methanol to 13 liters/minute and succeeded in producing
1 KW of power on integration with a hydrogen fuel cell. The prototype would
significantly reduce fossil fuel use and carbon footprint. Due to the compact
unit, it can be used for the on-site production of ultra-pure hydrogen. It also
reduces storage and transportation safety hazards associated with hydrogen
and can also be used to power mobile towers besides replacing diesel-based
generators. The prototype can also be used to charge electric vehicles.

Automotive: Panel
Discussion: Collaborative Aman Choudhari, Managing Director, Surin Automotive Pvt Ltd: As the world
directs, sustainable mobility targets to satisfy the needs of present generations
Ecosystem for sustainable without compromising future generations collaboration and partnership become
mobility mandatory to survive the uncertainties in the mobility sector. The session is
5:00 PM – 06:00 PM focused on collaboration and partnerships to survive uncertainties, start-up
ecosystem in shaping up sustainability mobility, and future of value creation in
Automotive Industry – shift from pipeline economy to platform economy.
Akilur Rehman, Chief Technology Officer (CTO), ABB India: Along with electrical
vehicles we will have to set up battery charging infrastructure. It will have
 complete charging management system to work efficiently. There will be
charging or battery swapping options available at these charging points.
Charging management system will have integrated technology and operation
facility. The vehicles in certain area of charging service will share data like fleet
routing data, vehicle battery status, dispatch time, traffic, weather condition,
sensor data, and optimal charging schedule of vehicles. This data will help to run
the facility efficiently. There are various design parameters like optimal battery
dimensioning, optimal selection and placement of chargers, detailed information
of energy consumption, route, grid data, time table, type of vehicle etc which
will help in optimizing the system design through software simulation. Along
with that, data from the IOT from vehicles will help us to keep track of
performance of various parts of vehicle and predict maintenance required. This
will help to industries supplying parts and service centres of vehicles to predict
and plan their future requirements.
Arvind Goel, MD and CEO, TATA autocamp systems limited: Though electrical
vehicles are future, there is still scope of IC engine vehicles in India. During this
transition and continuous innovation and disruption in this sector the all the
suppliers and industries must be very agile and adapt with changing situation in
the sector. There is need of collaboration between suppliers and industry. They
will have to adapt and pivot according to situation together. Also, the industry
should celebrate their failures and learn from them to develop. This culture is
important for innovations in an organisation.
Being carbon neutral is not an easy task. This requires to take care of entire
supply chain to become carbon neutral. Along with electrical vehicle there will
be an opportunity to recycle batteries. Also, there is future for green hydrogen
and fuel cells.
Guruprasad Mudlapur, Managing Director, Bosch Automotive Electronics India:
There are various start-ups which are entering in this field and are related to
every part of vehicles. They are doing various innovations and need to be
collaborated with industry. Also, the boundaries between Original Equipment
Manufacturer and Tier 1 manufacturer are getting blurred now a days. OEMs
are looking for vertical integration. Along with parts of vehicle the software for
vehicles is being developed through innovations. There are various technologies
like Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning etc are being developed to
enhance the driving and mobility experience. Also, there is an entry of various
parts like fuel cells, motors, battery, and chargers etc which are entering in
industry with Electrical vehicles. Small suppliers will have their role and mostly
inclined towards service along with manufacturing of parts. But they should
remain agile and have skilled labours to sustain in uncertainty and disruptions.

ㅡ
Fireside Chat: - Evolving
business models – The data will be new oil for automobile sector for including both IC engine and
Electrical Vehicles. The data will be useful from Birth to Grave of any vehicle in
Emergence of data driven future. The data will be collected from sources like insurance, Fastags, GPS, and
mobility services etc for vehicles to use it in future. The challenge will be to get
6:00 PM – 07:00 PM structured data and get it together easily with certain inter relation. This data
will lead to develop services which will enhance the overall customer experience
of travelling, to generate alerts for health of vehicle and maintenance,
automation, and prediction and diagnostic analytics for vehicle. This data will be
used for software upgradation of vehicles. Also, for charging and refuelling
facilities it will be used to decide authentic charging, optimization, and
optimized location of charging facility too.
The data generated can be used to collaborate with other digitised facilities to
enhance the experience of customers. Also, due to initiatives like smart city

Roundtable on
opportunities for India –
Different possibilities for
Mobility of the future
7:00 PM – 08:00 PM
there is scope of integration for our smart vehicles which will enhance the
overall experience. This will help to resolve the issues of city administration and
owner of vehicles.
Data will lead to improve the safety and life of vehicles. In Electrical Vehicles
the motor will be an important part. The data driven approach will help to keep
checking its performance to increase its life. Also, it can predict future issues
related to it. Also, if user maintains the operations of various parts of vehicles in
given standard and keeps record of it in system then it not only improves
performance and its life but also will provide good resale value in future.
The preventive maintenance will be upskilled with data driven approach. It will
be very unexpected combination where software and mechanical parts will
work in synchronisation in automotive industry. OEM in automotive sector
faces various issues in this data driven approach. The one of them is
connectivity which is not as great as for mobile/communication sector. Also, in
future data privacy will be among major challenges for automotive sector.
In entire supply chain, which is undergoing disruptions and innovations, needs
to have team dealing with entire supply chain. They should be agile and vigilant
with respect to the innovations in this sector. In future there will be cluster and
not vertical integration in this industry.
The various start-ups and established brands preferring supporting,
collaborating with each other rather than completion. The knowledge is being
shared with each other in start-ups and established players in industry.
In marketing point of view, it is important to understand that days of Engine
performance and Milage are gone. Now a days digitization, connectivity, data
analysis, security and safety are playing important role. The engine performance
and milage are have 20% weightage and digitization, connectivity, data analysis,
security and safety have 80% weightage.
Multiple drivers such as electrification, ride sharing, data monetization, and
connected cars are likely to change the way we perceive mobility today. These
drivers will disrupt the current mobility ecosystem and provide new
opportunities for disruptors to establish their presence in the market. For OEMs
and other shareholders, it is time to think about new and innovative business
models.
The future of mobility is dependent on factor named as “SPACE”, which stands
for
S = Software
P = Personalized
A = Automated
C = Connected
E = Electrification
The government should have long term catalyze the disruption. Government
should work on regulations and must give subsidies to the industry to promote
E-vehicles. Indian government is doing great job to support industry in year
2021. The industry is trying to up skill and train their employees. The industry is
looking for collaborations and is agile and getting ready for disruptions. Also, the
industry is focusing on protecting the environment too.

The discussion kick started with the point that is fintech going to disrupt the
way the business is done in financial services industry to which mrs Bajaj told
that yes absolutely because it gives more band with to solve problem & reduce
your cost which creates win win situation for both customers & company. Also
Mrs Bajaj had done a presentation which focused on Bajaj Finserv. He said the
traditional business levers which used to drive the business before 10 years or
100 years were almost the same I.e. Land, labour, capital & Assets. However the
new or disruptive business levers are landless, self service, New capital & asset
lite. So he gave an example that debit card user to get a billion took 12 years &
next billion was added in next 2 years hence the pace at which the adoption
metrics has changed is amazing. Also he talked about online payment mode
such as g pay phone pay has given fintech industry a lot of push as India average
age is 27 & more & more people prefer online transaction which has given
traditional a wake up check that if they don't wake up soon they they might loss
a lot of business has people using traditional business are getting old & new age
people prefer digital banking or say bank less banking.
The speaker for this session was Arundhati Bhattacharya ex CEO of State bank
of india. She started her discussion that data is the biggest fuel of 21st century
& for fintech industry it's even more important. Has earlier it was not possible
understand each every customers need and pain points but now with lot of data
available about all customers it's possible. Also she added that traditional or
retail banking will always be there & will coexist with new type of digital
banking in India as people using banking services in India are also old people &
banking is more of a trust based business which this traditional banks have
created with there customers however Traditional banking is being challenged
first time in india to change the way they are doing the business because
Fintech business are bring new types of solution to solve the customer query.
Also she told fintech banking have started overpowering traditional banking in
countries like Singapore Korea and Hong Kong because of the infrastructure has
network connectivity literacy & etc is very good in such countries. In India
infrastructure is a big issue even though we have made significant growth with
cheap internet connection & cheaper smartphones. It might take India next 10
15 years when we can say fintech banking may over power traditional banking.
Asia Pacific at MasterCard, Praveena Rai CEO of National payment corporation
 of India (NPCI), Sameer nigam founder and CEO of phonepe. The discussion was
started by Mrs Amrish rau admitting that india has been slightly behind its global
competitors in terms fintech adoption & revolution. However cheap 4g network
and advent of smartphone has really created an enabling environment for digital
to thrive in India. China and US currently competing really hard in fintech
industry however Indian IT companies have been there up with competition.UPI
payments have given small business and opportunity to distribute its goods and
services across state especially in india. which was not the case few years back.
Also next big thing which digital wallet ecosystem is looking for or is retail
transport system and brilliant example of it fast tag which has already been
implemented has been great success for government however is still under
penetrated. Also government feels that digital currency are wallet is going to be
the future as RBI itself is going to launch a digital currency.

banking services as well as lifestyle benefit all in one place, growing your money,
your world and your possibility.so this Bank does not have any retail outlet it's
100% digital banking. However the CEO feels in future they might open retail
outlet as he feels banking is a business of trust and there has to be e a place
where customer in go when we need to talk. You also give one example of
Amazon which started as an e commerce business but now is planning to open
an brick and mortar Store. When asked about could such banking business
model could be successful in India he said that growth in rise of millennial
population in India could help such banks. Also he added that before starting
the bank they had conducted a survey in which they wanted to to find the pain
point of customers and they could find 78 pain point of customers which could
be solved through fully digital banking.

Fireside Chaton
“Democratizing The session was about democratizing investments & the speaker of this session
was Nikhil Kamath CEO & founder of zerodha. The discussion was started with
Investments” India has low financial literacy i.e. even after getting good education they still
6.00 P.M - 6.30 P.M. don't know how to manage their personal finance. They keep on investing in
 financial asset in which their parents used to invest i.e. gold or real estate which
chokes the money & does not get corporate circulated. However we have like 5
to 6 crore people who are paying taxes so those are the people how are likely to
invest in India. We have around 4 crore demat account opened in India & there
are about to 2 crore mutual fund folio so terms of an equation we have grown
significantly when compared out of total population it's very less i.e. 3% which is
consider very less. Also Zerodha is now looking to get into mutual fund business
were growth is very huge.

Session on “Accelerating
MSME Lending” This session was about accelerating MSME Lending & the esteem guest in the
panel of the discussion were Mr Vyas Chakravarthy Managing Director and CEO
6.30 P.M - 7.30 P.M. Shriram city union finance and Mr Alok Mittal co founder and CEO in indifi
technologies. India have about 63 million MSME out of which 32 to 33 million
MSME have access formal credit system because information asymmetry, lack
of credit history, formal documentation, etc, leading to the unwillingness on the
part of lenders to provide finance to this particular segment of borrowers. Also
MSME sectors credit exposure is to the tune of about 20.2 lakh crores as of
March 2021. And there has been an element of growth of about 6.6%, which is,
which has moved up in financial year 2021. Overall scenario for credit growth
within MSME space is set to change on the back of three key pillars. He or the
key government schemes, such as the Prime Minister's Employment Generation
program, the credit guarantee interest fund for micro and small enterprises
credit linked capital subsidy scheme, the city the finance, amongst many others.
The second key pillar is really the digitization framework, which encompasses
data repositories such as the E KYC digitized income documents such as GST
data account aggregators and the broken framework. And the last pillar is really
the FinTech ecosystem and partnerships within this, the digital lenders are
solving major challenges in providing credit at each step of the value chain.
Many early stage NBF seas have shifted from feet on street model to digital
based models to increase this last mile delivery of credit to the MSM is currently
being underserved by traditional partners.

Healthcare: Fireside chat
on Healthcare challenges During the initial days of pandemic there was a drastic surge in patients and
most of the hospitals was understaffed. The technology and infrastructure
in post pandemic India played a vital role in dealing with the unprecedented situation. She also spoke
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM about the enhancing healthcare delivery system and mentioned the
conventional diagnosis method is being replaced by diagnosis from distances
with the help of technologies. They have bought more than 5000 doctors online
across country and has adopted online consultation for their patient diagnosis.
Healthcare system is also supported by robotics not just for extremely
complicated surgeries but also for less complicated ones. Monitoring patients
has become very convenient for doctors because of tele-medicines. She also
pointed out Indian healthcare infrastructure may not be the best in the world
but did a better job of handling pandemic situation than many developed
countries. Technology will play a great place in setting up the infrastructure and
to bridge the infrastructure gap and with 5G they are experimenting to solve
infrastructure problems. It’s not just about filling the existing gaps but looking at
how will future needs. In her final note she focused her talks on trust,
transparency and ethical behaviour.
Dr. Alexander Thomas in opening note spoke about the relationship between
health and global economics and also pointed out a fact that due to pandemic
more than 240 million Indians went below poverty line which causes
malnutrition and increases likelihood of diseases. There is whooping 30%
increase in mental health cases during pandemic and collective efforts needs to
be made by various stakeholders to overcome the problem. He also said India
has the largest disease burden in the world and prevention is the key. Wellness
clinics will play crucial role in future and will need governments support to make
these clinics functional. There's a shortage of nurses and many are flying out
therefore medical reforms needs to be made to increase seats in undergraduate
and postgraduate degrees and there's a need to focus on quality and make
policies which supports nurses as well. The public heal system needs to take
accountability and maintain quality standards and there's a need to increase
ratio of public to private beds which presently consist of 70% private and only
30% public beds. Technology will provide methods to train medical
professionals, clinical management, telemedicine, designing medial devices, data
analysis, virtual medicines and research. There's a need to develop a public
private equal partnership and improve financial sustainability of private sector.
Amit Mohan, Chief operating officer, GE Healthcare India & South Asia Region
started his discussion about how India is not only land of opportunities but also
land of disparity and highlighted the effects of COVID 19 and pandemic on
education sector, health sector, health’s of people, mental health, etc. He
suggested there is a need of highly collaborative ecosystem to overcome these
effects. A better ecosystem can be established using primary care and
secondary care. He also pointed out these ecosystem should be affordable to
the mass and should be easily accessible to the mass population and intense
care needs to be taken care to maintain this ecosystem.

Healthcare: Accelerating Innovation

Dr. Naresh Trehan Chairman, CII National Healthcare Committee & Chairman
and Managing Director of Medanta – The Medicity spoke about how they
learned a lot from western businesses and culture and implemented the
knowledge in India. He also shared one inspiring incident from Calcutta, he was
one of the speaker in topic of technology and healthcare and one of the speaker
asked the 3000 people “what was the one thing common among you 3000
people” and he answered that everyone wants to be the next unicorn, it was not
the smartest who became unicorn but their actions took them where they were
today. He suggested a way to find a gap in the system, he said note down every
ctivity you do in this week and in the next week reflect on those points and
there you might stumble upon new opportunities & gaps in the system. He said
recently platforms like Zomato & Swiggy achieved a great success accelerated
by the pandemic that is pre-existing ideas were accelerated by the pandemic.
We r doing work day in day out and not looking right & left to see how can we
do better for patience, how can we leverage, how can we create new
environment to be productive. If we don't imbibe these things in the young
minds these things won't happen. Generations are changing & future looks
extremely bright. If we open our minds it is all there to be taken. No innovation
can be done alone, it needs an ecosystem, it needs certain requisite, requires
partners, requires knowledge sharing etc. Many things are progressing but we
also needs to see how to make it more effective. He also pointed out unless
there is not a demand for certain idea there is a certain hesitancy to bring that
idea to the market. Things that are really of value take a long time. We need to
change our mind set, educate new generation. If we look at it in a larger scale
there is no bigger opportunity than India as market because the mass of
population is bigger than any other country and these are consumers in that
market and what is good for India is good for 4 Billion people around the world.
This innovative should not be a 9 day fare instead it needs to be a continuous
cycle throughout year. Time for us to innovate is running out so we need to gear
up and expedite the process.
Dr. Radha Rangarajan Head, Innovation and Strategy, OJAS MedTech BioNEST
talked about her research and said that there is an increasing need to focus on
product development research for healthcare system and there is also a need to
focus on disease prevention and early diagnosis. Setting up brick and mortar
labs is going to take lot of time and incur a lot of cost. So, creating low cost
diagnostic centres is something which we r working in. she also said that they
do all the types of diagnostic tests and have a digitalised test results. It was not
enough to simply design the devices but also needs to provide certain services
of taking these tests to the last mile of country. This is an era of trying to extract
more from less and increase adoption to technology. Effectiveness is difficult to
measure in a short time to evaluate whether the device of technology works
better than the other.

begin with the evolution of industry from industry 1.0 to industry 4.0 and the
latter being the evolution faster than other industry evolution. The fourth
industrial revolution is also revolutionizing the healthcare system and healthcare
is now benefiting from things like artificial intelligence and machine learning.
Artificial intelligence are being used in healthcare which will change the
landscape. There is an increasing use of chat bots in healthcare system. Since
the beginning of pandemic last year the pandemic has had acted as an
accelerator of use in technology. Chat bots can be deployed in days or weeks
there faster and more intuitive than other options. However There can be an
innovation fear when it comes to healthcare as it is highly sensitive area of the

When there is scarcity, it promotes supply-side innovation, and when there is

plenty, it breeds demand-side innovation. At least in terms of food, India is on
the verge of transitioning from a nation of scarcity to a land of abundance. India
has evolved into a consumer economy. The consumer journey when purchasing
something online or offline involves more than simply pricing considerations.
Trust and transactions are also important factors in both online and physical
stores. The ability to withstand adversity has been a differentiating element
between online and physical retailers.
Resilience shown by the local stores is greater than the resilience shown by the
online store - Local store would love to fulfil your requirement. Emotive feel vs
data analytical feel. - The demands changed during covid. Most local grocers
have done the transaction model on WhatsApp (Relationship front analytical

Key themes shaping the retail sector –
• Digitalization of the economy

Future of Retail Mr Devendra Chawla
1100 – 1120 Hrs
The sector has been disrupted as a result of the spread of technology and the
changing demographics of clients. Many big businesses are adopting the Direct
to Consumer (D2C) model. The blurring of the lines between offline and online
channels, allowing for a smooth movement between them, has given rise to
omnichannel, and customers are demanding it as technology advances. The
minimization of discomfort is at the heart of this customer behaviour, thus
convenience has become a key component in business decisions. We must
recognise that clients want to transact in micro moments, and it is in these tiny
moments that the customer must be engaged. Businesses need to focus on :
• Online channels need to learn from social commerce
• Embrace technology to provide convenience and an unforgettable
experience: Navigation across the product offering must be simple. Business
may be differentiated only on the basis of user interface. The potential for AR
and VR to change the purchasing experience is enormous.
• The days of being solely online or offline are no longer with us. Customers
are increasingly buying based on convenience.

Superior customer experiences are the future of retail, and everything needs to
be in place to make that happen. And because this isn't a fixed point, but rather
a variable that changes with time, the firm must adapt.

Innovations for
Ms. Ratna Mehta, driving the Catalyst Fund (contributing arm of the Wadhwani

empowering the underlined how to carry the chaotic area into the computerized economy. Retail
unorganized retail stores in India is the life saver and has been developing at 10-12% YOY.
1800 – 1900 hrs Notwithstanding, sloppy retail (practically 85% of the retail) yet should be
modernized.

Mr. Eric Heens, Director Operations, METRO Cash and Carry India, referenced
that they work with the chaotic area all around the world. At the point when
markets advance, they go bit by bit from chaotic to put together. He accepts
that there will be more present day exchange quickly. However the pandemic
has required things to be postponed, Kirana has expanded its portion of the
overall industry during this stage. The autonomous shop holders will be feeling
the squeeze, yet making organizations and collaboration will help. Players like
Amazon are gobbling up the portion of little Kiranas. They will assist the Kiranas
with getting sorted out their money and to digitalize the retail location
framework. They additionally furnish the Kirana proprietors with a cell phone
application so that can sell their items on the web. There are a few obstacles
with older folks not having the option to utilize innovations effectively, yet their
kids take up the business. Eric accepts that things will improve and looks certain
with regards to present day exchange.
 Mr. BS Nagesh, TRRAIN accepts that Kiranas are not chaotic, yet they are more
customary. During the pandemic, these little stores that were open for a
restricted time frame could serve 1.3 billion Indians. Thus, they are coordinated
yet not digitized and not present day. The justification behind this is that they
are more modest in size. Their qualities are that they are business people, and
they are in the close by roads. Since the most recent couple of years,
environments have changed. Due to digitalized installments, digitalization has
turned into a significant part. The need of the clients are expanding, and
henceforth Kiranas need higher space. The economic wellbeing of a modernized
store has assisted Kiranas with getting. This is the energy and will work for
present day exchange.

Mr. Vipul Sharma referenced that the bigger players need to interface with the
Kirana stores to develop. They need admittance to capital and better monetary
administrations. There's an enormous loaning hole in India on account of the
huge advances Kirana stores take from cash moneylenders, bigger
businessperson proprietors, etc. The financial business has not had the option to
settle this issue. Numerous clients are as yet managing an account with more
modest banks, and henceforth they don't gain admittance to loaning. It is an
extremely awful circle to tackle. Their association works with accomplices like
Metro to give credit lines to the Kiranas. It expands their deals by 30-half in
view of quicker money pivots. Many banks permit current records with zero
equilibrium representing simple installment and loaning. Protection is
additionally ineffectively entered. Consequently giving shop protections are
building squares to expand their certainty. We need to develop alongside the
environment for a more promising time to come.

Mr. George Mathew, Sr. VP and Head Digital Products at Aditya Birla Group
underlined that the Kirana or little retail locations are incredibly lithe. They are
not trusting that the huge organizations will help them. They are uniting things
all alone. They have begun being dynamic on WhatsApp or conveyances over
calls. It is like Amazon and different players. Kirana stores are sorting it out
themselves. Today innovation empowers end clients to sort out whether the
products are authentic. It enables the Kirana stores to guarantee great quality to
the clients. Despite the fact that they are not marked, they can give quality
confirmation to the clients. This has empowered a great deal of little hides to
move up the worth chain. This will proceed further and bring change.

4. Monitor Resources, 5. Lessen Infrastructure costs, 6. Set out new business
open doors, 7. Lessen coordinations cost of the nation - India represents about
14% of the GDP, while the normal is around 8-9% for different nations.

The things which are now driving us towards what's to come,

1. Elective energizes and energy transporters, 2. Transport Concepts – center

and talked, uber of shipping, shared drivers, 3. Robotization, 4. Unavoidable
network, 5. Changing Business Models – Use-n-Pay, streamlining of load. what's
more, 6. Cooperation.

The difficulties that are being looked by the business today are,

1. Need for information sharing, information normalization and information

insurance and 2. Capacity of guidelines, for example, carbon valuing,
maintainability objectives, and so forth
 The fate of transportation and portability is connected with components like
network, computerization, electric and other energy transporters and shared
versatility. The central issue is when combination, all things considered, In India
there is an incredible open door for between operability, where the different
methods of transportation could be associated through one token or one
receipt. Security will get the due concentration and respect moving forward,
attributable to India being among the most noteworthy clumsy country on the

Mr Pravin Hungund (Chief Technologist & Global Head Technovation Centre,

Wipro Ltd), responded by stating that there has been a lot of new technology
that has been taking shape in the past 10 years. Technologies are becoming
mature quickly. Digitization has codified the money, markets and trusts. This
 codification has made things fairly agile, redefining the entire value chain across
systems for industries. Today we have evolved from a hands-free model, to a
need to be a human-free model. Looking at the trends, Convergence of
technologies with providing experiences to the customer, where you could
check the automobiles within the confines of your home and have an immersive
experience of sitting inside the automobile. The one important dimension which
companies need to look at is to create a platform for consumption. When
digitization is adopted holistically, companies get a single view of multi-function
from design to production all the way to consumption, so just by looking at it
the companies get to know if its optimum or not

He started with the introduction of the corporate GE, where he mentioned GE

because the innovation engine which invented bulb within the year 1879 to
world’s most powerful offshore turbine within the year 2019. He mentioned
about the CO2 emissions and their sources where power has the very best
share with 41%, industry 26%, transport 25% and buildings 9%. But power
being the essential necessity it's energy trilemma which incorporates
affordability, reliability, and sustainability. So, to scale back carbon emission use
of renewable sources of energy to get electricity is suggested because it can
reduce CO2 emissions from 25- 80%. Then talking about GE’s contemporary
research model is that the way forward for flight, healthcare, energy, and
manufacturing. It also helps government agencies in nurturing way forward for
security, healthcare, energy, and infrastructure. They use both GE critical
technologies and government grand challenges to get ideas.

Alok later joined the chat, indicating that GE's goal is to make all their plants
carbon neutral by 2030. To begin this journey, GE has already stated that they
will not build new coal facilities and will instead rely on renewable energy
sources to achieve their sustainability targets. They're coming up with a carbon-
free fuel for aero planes. Mr. Ghosh explained how Mahindra is achieving
sustainability by focusing on four points: purpose to experiment, pledges
matched with the Paris Agreement, and attempts to achieve commitment.

Parallel track on
manufacturing Mr. Naveen Unni / Partner

10:0A.M - 11.00 A.M. Mckinsey India

Decarbonization: To achieve a 1.5-degree Celsius scenario, we need to reduce
emissions by 90%. Reduce demand and change consumption patterns, allocate
carbon management companies, and so forth.

India is the single largest source of carbon emissions from agriculture. Three
scenarios, including the reference case, abatement case, and net-zero case, will
aid in the reduction of carbon emissions in India. There are seven levers that can
be pulled to reduce carbon emissions by 90%, including increasing the
penetration of electric cars, not just two-wheelers but all vehicles. Another way
to reduce carbon emissions is to increase investment in green hydrogen and
other renewable energy sources. We have the technology to survive, but each
step is difficult to maintain. If you're heading into the woods, electric vehicles
will be quite beneficial. India's green hydrogen would be among the lowest in
the world, thus we'll be a step ahead in this sector. The question is, how can you
be more circular by reusing cement and setting up the structure and incentives
to encourage people to do so? Rice production and livestock production
contribute the most to India's agricultural emissions, which are among the
highest in the world (like cow dung-methane). To comply with the Paris
Agreement, India must have 1% forest cover. The difficulty is forest restoration
—how can we fill moderately dense forest with denser forest? The challenge is
determining how much capital is required for development until 2050. When
considering India's GDP over the next 30 years, it comes to 21 trillion dollars.
Over the next ten years, global climate change will affect 50-60% of India's
population. As a leader in the implementation of a net-zero-carbon plan.
Educate yourself and your workforce, create an agenda by 2050, incorporate
offence and defense into your business plan, create and join an innovation
ecosystem, move at the pace of urgency, tell your story and listen to others'
tales. If it gets too hot, working hours may be reduced by 15%.

Mr. Sarajit / Chief Business Transformation & Digital Solution

Tata Steel
Steel has no other option when it comes to reducing CO2 emissions. The
pandemic has increased supply chain localization. Scaling computing is simple,
but scaling atoms and neurons is complex. The adaptability of 3D printing isn't
outstanding. Distributive manufacturing, not additive manufacturing, is our
specialty. Design thinking and software engineering can be used to proportion
3d printing. At every level, change management is required. Existing positions
will be deducted before new employment are created. There is a global business
case for AI.

Dr Alexander Liu/ Head of Additive Manufacturing Programs, Asia Region

ASTM International
On-demand and distributed production, as well as reduced spare inventory and
faster development cycles, all require AM. ASTM established the AM CoE to
organize and undertake research and development in support of AM standards,
reducing time to plug and improving acceptance. India has a sizable automobile
market. One of the most major obstacles in AM is its high cost, which is quite
slow in terms of production. However, material costs have decreased
dramatically. Steel is purchased for 1000 dollars in the oil and gas business. In
the future, standardization may make adoption easier. Participate in global am
activities such as webinars and corporate conferences. There are 37 general AM
standards, application-specific AM standards, feedstock material standards,
process, and equipment standards, and completed AM part standards issued by
ISO. In the areas of design, process and materials, qualification and
certifications, non-destructive assessment, and maintenance, there are 18 high
priority gaps, 51 medium priority gaps, and 24 low priority gaps in AM
standardization.

Mr Maniraj/ DGM

Hero Motors
Optimization occurs during the development process. The steps of the most
recent development are marketing research, concept design, prototyping,
testing, design modification, and production. In addition, the product has a very
short lifespan. Countless development works for the manufacture of electric
vehicles are ongoing. AM aids in the production of goods in a shorter amount of
time. In India, the adoption of AM was gradual from 2001 to 2010. During the
clay modelling stage, SLA assisted with prototyping. The time it takes to develop
two wheelers has decreased from two years to eight months. Vacuum Casting is
a product-making technique. It took 6 months to complete the primary testing,
and metal printing was gradually implemented to fulfil emission standards. If
 anything is completed throughout the production process, the cost will be
exceedingly high, thus employ AM early on to reduce costs. Aesthetic review,
assembly, functional testing, fittings, inspections, and rules are all part of
prototyping. Polymer parts like as body fairings, tubular parts such as frames,
non-ferrous parts such as castings for engines, ferrous parts such as gearing,
and proprietary parts such as brakes fall into the category of parts for vehicle
creation employing AM.

Mr. Maltesh Somasekharappa

German and Pakistani surgical instruments are used. It costs a lot of money to
get rid of surgical devices. Some instruments must be surgical as well as patient-
centric, and these are frequently produced using 3D printing, which necessitates
a high level of precision. It takes 48 to 72 hours to complete. For surgical
guidelines, doctors are inviting 3D print models. Because of tobacco and paan,
jaw cancer accounts for 20% of all male cancer cases in India. Before 3D
printing, jaw surgery took 15 hours, but now it only takes 1.5-2 hours with the
use of surgical cutting guidelines. When a wound is formed, infection sets in
after 90 minutes. If the surgery is completed within 90 minutes, the odds of
infection are nearly negligible. As a result, more beds are generally saved
because patients recuperate faster.

Dr. Chandrashekhar

Ability to connect to DRDO certification standards in order to swap traditional

manufacturing parts with Wipro's additive manufacturing parts. Made a
component that will allow you to spend a long time in orbits made of aluminum,
titanium, and other alloys. One of the most extensively utilized AM technologies
is selective laser melting. There is a significant time difference in throughput. As
9100 D approved for AM manufacturing quality standards. Process, structure,
and property must all be in proper working order. For enterprises, there are
market potential, benefits of distributed manufacturing models, or production
efficiencies. We pay a lot of money for spare parts. The development of
capabilities within universities is the common denominator for all of these
technologies.

The changing
3M India LTD
trends in food sector
Food processing's relevance and contribution to the economy has been well
15:00 P.M. – 15:50 P.M.
documented. Around 9% of manufacturing gross value added and 13% of
export comes from the rest of the world. Across the value chain, there is a huge
opportunity to reduce waste, boost productivity, adopt new technologies, and
improve competitiveness. Furthermore, megatrends like as urbanization,
specialization in health and nutrition, new packaging trends, and, more broadly,
sustainability will encourage innovation to provide consumers with the best
possible value. The combination and application of numerous new technologies
will drive these advancements.

Ms Sushma Vasudevan/ MD & Partner at BCG Group)

BCG Group
There are three major trends that are influencing the way consumers behave,
both globally and in India, and thus affecting everyone involved in the food
value chain. As consumers, the first trend, sustainability, or the entire
opportunity surrounding sustainable farming, is becoming increasingly
important. The general movement toward good nourishment is the second
trend that is crucial. Consumers are becoming more interested in tailored
nutritional products, and nutraceuticals as supplements are becoming more
popular. The global nutraceutical industry was valued at around 380 billion
dollars in 2019 and is predicted to rise at a rate of more than 8% in 2020. As a
result, the second major trend is the health and nutrition movement.

The third, and perhaps more nascent, trend is the movement towards plant-
based vegan diets. Alternative proteins, which include all proteins generated
from plants, as well as artificial meat, are gaining traction and will see significant
investment in 2020. The choice protein business received $3.1 billion in
funding, which is three times what it received in 2019 and five times what it
received in 2018. Although India's organic food business is a minor part of the
global market, it is nonetheless significant, with a market value of around 850
million USD in 2020. It is predicted to increase at a CAGR of more than 20% in
the coming years. The terms nutraceuticals, immunities, drinks, and foods, for
example, the International Trade Administration projects that the Indian
nutraceuticals market would rise from $4 billion to $18 billion by the end of
2025. Even the Indian market for nutraceuticals is currently very important,
with a market value of around two and a half billion dollars.

Charter 1: Atmanirbhar food sourcing - As more countries recognize the need of

food security, so should businesses.

Charter 2: Farmer partnerships — Larger farms, mechanized farming, and greater

storage facilities are required. Encourage people to engage in contact farming.
Catalyze reforms so that we may work with farmers to achieve bigger yields and
better quality.
 Charter 3: Promote organic foods to protect the environment - Reduce the cost
of organic foods. Encourage farmers to adopt organic farming practices. Raise
awareness about the health benefits of eating organic foods.

Charter 4: Reconsider genetic and biomolecular technology in order to

transplant DNAs into more nutritious foods - Bananas have more protein.
Potatoes have more fiber and less sugar. Linseed contains higher omega-3 fatty
acids. Lettuce with a higher iron content. Nuts that are free of allergens.

Charter 5: Capitalize on the “no meat” movement — the same Silicon Valley that
revolutionized the software industry is now flooded with substitute start-ups
producing no meat, no egg, and no milk from moong, soya, wheat, coconut,
potato, mushroom, haem, and other ingredients.

Charter 6: Work with government, researchers NGOs on promoting healthier

foods & food habits – Less fat more protein, less sugar more vitamins &
minerals, high dietary fiber, less salt more natural taste, promote healthier oils,
discourage fried foods.

Charter 7: Work towards alternate food/sources for food security – e.g. Algae
based products, hydroponic foods, mechanized green houses, and aquaculture.

Charter 8: Support sustainable food processing – climate friendly food, less CO2
Emission in farm processing, transport, storage & retail. Work with government
on sustainable food processing and packaging recycling.

Chapter9: Food and spices were reinvented and marketed as health enhancers
following the pandemic: honey, amla juice, turmeric, and ginger.

Charter 10: Make the company completely digital, from farm to customer,
boosting efficiency, speed, product, distribution, and digital virtuality along the
way

Consumer preferences are shifting at a breakneck speed. There are various
options. The customer, and thus the consumer, is becoming increasingly aware.
15:00 P.M. – 17:00 P.M. There is significantly greater awareness and exposure as a result of the single
presence of social media. In reality, prior to COVID, there was a lot more travel.
India's population is disproportionately youthful. They enjoy trying new things
and experimenting with different innovations, thus there is experimentation,
and as a result, a developing trend. So that's one reason why we're seeing more
and more inventions, and why they're becoming increasingly essential.

Food history is a story about men, beginning with the Earl of Sandwich, who
wanted to play bridge but also wanted to eat his lunch without taking a break.
As a result, the sandwich was created by sandwiching a protein between two
 slices of bread. Similarly, development workers in Manhattan are seated on top
of a beam on the 10th floor of a replacement concession building; they don't
have time to return down and eat lunch, so they bought a hotdog to take a
quick break while continuing to work. So that's what the history of food
processing was all about: giving people the most energy for the least amount of
money.

Covid vaccination is estimated to be worth $150 billion this year by the World
Economic Forum. Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) or lifestyle diseases like
diabetes account for seven out of ten fatalities. India's revolution was a
revolution at the expense of the environment. As a result, they have diminished
the value and, as a result, the productivity of rice and wheat farming in India, as
well as potato farming in India. A vegetable's fiber calorie is far higher than rice
or wheat's fiber calorie.

Food preparation and consumption have generally been confined to cities.
Bringing items to rural areas, as well as making products more affordable
through low unit pricing bundles and other means. Indian marketplaces have
grown and become more commercially viable, allowing small enterprises to
begin spending more heavily in innovation. If you had to figure out India as a
market, and construct enterprises and food businesses in India back in the early
1990s and early 2000s, you'd look at building it within the top two states to top
100 towns, and then you'd have to go nationwide. Bangalore was a little town in
the 1990s, not particularly large. It is now one of India's tallest cities. As the
Silicon Valley of India is known, if you look at the population of Bangalore
today, just 40% of the population is from Karnataka, while the other 55% comes
from Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Andhra Pradesh, and other parts of India.

Mr. Anuj Rustagi/ COO

People in India face a peculiar challenge in that they suffer from both lifestyle
diseases and malnutrition, which is on the rise. As a result, the buyer is changing
dramatically, and choice explosion is a major driver of innovation. The second
point is about technology; proper innovation is facilitated by technological
advancements. As a result, technology is having an impact on how they track,
process, distribute, and store food.

Dr Rishikesha Krishnan
Masterclass on
“Innovation in Director , Indian Institute of Management, Bangalore
Enterprises”
10:00 AM - 11:00 AM best practices in Managing innovation in Enterprises using his book 8 steps to
innovation- Going from Jugaad to excellence. One of the biggest challenges of a
company's how do you make innovation Happen on a continuation and
innovation basis. Innovation might happen due to an accident but how do you
make it a DNA of an organization. The big problem is how to build a systematic
innovation capability. This involves three important steps- Build pipeline- To
have ideas to work on, the Idea velocity - To develop the ideas for the and
Improve average For converting ideas into successful innovation.

It is important to identify the sources, scope, stages, technology, selection, and

funding of ideas which is called as Idea management. Building participation Is
that employees find it easy to share their ideas Which are the raw materials for
innovation. One has to create excitement so that one shares their ideas actively
eg. Titan is good at doing it. Solve problems with three steps Pain, wave and
waste. Experimentation is really important and one needs to create a good
climate to be a source for innovation Why building an innovation sandbox.
Tracking is important to analyze how successful innovation is performing.
Pandemic help bring innovation because it made things clear of what are the
problems.
Ravi Arora

Vice President, Group Innovation

: Inspiration is very critical and is very important when it comes to innovation.

Create a fantastic experience that encourages people to volunteer that has you
create a company of innovation. Award people for sharing ideas And if you fail
we appreciate it. Ideas can be simple as being a facetime customer salesman,
what is important is passion, fearlessness, and perseverance to implement
quickly.

How India can be the innovation hub.

Ideas are not innovation ideas for starting point of innovation. Without process,
it will be lost in the journey and you will end up nowhere. These processes are
different for each organization.

To be effective to make it you need to fail early on, As long there is honest
behind it you can make it a successful idea. It is important to deal with failures in
a transparent important way.

Capital)

Richa Natarajan, Partner-UC Growth Equity (Unitus Capital)

Nigam Lama, Executive, (CII)

The session commenced with each panellist introducing themselves followed by

Mr. Avinash giving a background of Bangalore being an IT capital. He gave a
brief history on how Bangalore transformed into an IT hub one decade at a time.
1990s-2000s with Wipro and Infosys introducing themselves in the city, it came
to be known as the country’s IT capital Mr. Avinash exclaimed. He further
continued saying how giants like ‘Amazon and Microsoft’ have an operational
R&D centre in Bangalore making it an envious hub for flourishing start-ups and
employment opportunities. Lastly, he lauded the city for being ranked 8th by
KPMG, 26th by Start-up genome and 10th globally as being a potential
Innovation Hub of future. With the remarks like Bangalore is looked upon as the
Silicon Valley of India, he passed on the virtual mike to the panellist to know
their views on how Bangalore has been a pivotal part of their professional
journey.

Mr. Ashwin explained strong pillars of innovation: strong academia, industry,

capital availability, govt. policies, entrepreneurs. Bangalore scores good in all
these aspects hence it attracts lot of capitalists. Mr. Naganand who was born in
Bangalore said that it’s the inherently accommodating culture of Bangalore
which makes it the desired city to settle in. Also, it’s ever-growing tech
infrastructure makes it stand out compared to cities like Mumbai and Delhi.
Confluence of many things according to Ms. Richa is what attracts founders
here. While Mr. Ganapathy felt that since many conglomerates choose
Bangalore as their go-to place for setting up R&D centres, it has tremendous
potential of becoming the No.1 innovation hub.

The session progressed with Mr. Avinash taking up questions like will Bangalore
transform into a hub of other verticals like med-tech, biotech apart from just IT
to which the panellist had unanimous opinions that since Infosys and Wipro
played a major role in enhancing the IT infrastructure and laying out
opportunities for IT start-ups and employments, same isn’t true for other
verticals since there’s a lot of catching up to do in the healthcare department.
Lack of quality of Infrastructure also slows down the process.

The latter part of the session saw panellist playing an optimist and a pessimist
regarding the future of Innovation in Bangalore. Mr. Ganapathy and Ms. Richa
presented an optimistic perspective regarding the same. Mr. Ganapathy felt that
since many Mergers & Acquisitions are taking place in Bangalore lately, it is only
a matter of time that the IT capital will be among the top three in the global
innovation index. Ms. Richa added that there is plethora of opportunities for
budding entrepreneurs to exploit spaces in road-tech and pollution control. This
will help increase the candidature of the city being among the top innovators.
Mr. Naganand and Mr. Ashwin presented a pessimistic view. Mr. Naganand
explained how Bangalore will take time in transforming into a manufacturing
hub as buying land in Bangalore is a challenge. He further said, that hiring
 talents is a headache which acts as a roadblock. Mr. Ashwin gave a broader
picture stating that India will emerge as an innovation hub not just Bangalore as
Bangalore is far from being an all-round innovation hub but Bangalore with its
foothold in IT will provide gateways to other verticals.

The session was then concluded with a vote of thanks presented by Mr. Avinash
to all the esteemed guest speakers.

Session on Cyber Security Vishal Salvi (CISO, Infosys Ltd.)
12:00 to 13:00 Cyber-security is something everyone is concerned about today, as an
organization, a body, or even as a person that is now an internet persona.
Discussion on “Issues we are dealing with in respect to cyber-security and
privacy”. Cyber-security sentinels were acknowledged and thanked for dealing
with the current challenge of pandemic and the sudden pivoting to working
from home. This was not easy, but digital innovations helped in working
remotely, and at such a large scale that huge corporations were functioning at
the wok-from-home model. A lot of times, cyber sentinels are not duly
acknowledged for the work they do of maintaining the integrity of the
transactions, and confidentiality of data. data security even on being everything
digital, thank you for keeping everything safe and secure.
There are various facets to cyber-security and it’s a fascinating world.
Three facets of cyber-security discussed are :
1. Cyber-security and what does it means to corporations today
2. Privacy (Privacy and cyber security go hand in hand)
3. Legal aspect of Cyber-security.
Brijesh Dutta (EVP&CISO Reliance Jio)
What are the key imperatives for organizations when it comes to them, looking
at cyber security strategy for the coming 3-4 years.
Whether people sit in an office or at home, we are going to think that we are
going to consider them outside, there is no corporate boundary, there is no one
inside office. Beyond the Core model, Google has proposed 10 years ago has
come to life now. The fundamental principle of everyone being outside the
office, and nobody is in the office, is that is going to be a very secure model to
work with. It is called the Zero-trust model.
1. Secure devices
2. All humans need to have strong authentication
3. Privilege in applications (no direct exposure, restrictive exposure)
4. Breaking the session through authenticated reverse-proxy (So your
critical and vulnerable applications don’t get exposed)
Single gateway. Zeeskaler, CloudFront, has this hybrid model and they give
access to the virtual desktop.
Earlier, you could get access through corporate LAN. But when this pandemic
situation gets better a lot of people will still want to work from home and then
this LAN system holds no good. We need authenticated roadway access only.
Prof. Ponnurangam Kumaraguru (IIIT Hyderabad)
Regulations and laws are not standardized all over the world and countries have
their own set of rules to follow. The laws need to be made in a way that they
 are on the right side of the law and the corporations have to comply with those.
What are the steps taken by various initiatives in the direction of making one
kind of active framework to make compliance simpler?
● Utility vs Privacy
● Very hard to find a sweet spot in this space. It will be utopian to think of a
standardized law for privacy and cyber-security.
● Industries need to be thinking from the perspective of implementation and
technical aspects.
● We can and figure out the semantic meaning of this and come to an outcome,
to bring technology around it to bring global privacy together.
Abhishek Malhotra (Managing Partner, TMT Law Practice)
How the regulations are evolving, the localization, data sovereignty part with
respect to cyber-security and privacy?
As cyber-security people, if we look at counter-attacks, it gets non-compliant
with the law. In such scenarios, apply the condition to the brick and mortar
world and then digital space.
In the cyber-world, there is a greater responsibility on organizations, to have
systems in place, but also bodies are not trained in conditions like these.
Organizations and corporations have to assess whether they were compliant
with standards and have protected their data as they could, and then they can
report to law enforcement bodies. If the perpetrator is within the organization,
they can take action resulting in the termination of the person at fault.
There is an obligation to be compliant with the laws, and hence some actions,
even within an organization are mandatory to report to the law enforcing
bodies.
How are the commercial services available to the deep dark web, to understand
the strategies and get their intelligence, seen by the law? The legality of the
process is yet to be developed. The person involved needs to make sure they
are protected legally because, in process of gathering evidence, they can get
caught up in some activity that might be on the wrong side of the law.
Brijesh Dutta (EVP& CISO Reliance Jio)
One product will not solve all cyber-security woes. So focus on what you need
rather than going for any product being pushed across your way.
Earlier Microsoft recommended Anti-virus, Firewall, and getting your system
patched, and to date, they solve the majority of the issue with it, even today.
