Motivational story .
. It has just been a few months since Huawei announced
Mukesh Ambani
Mukesh Dhirubhai Ambani, a True Champion, and a
Legendary Entrepreneur is THE FACE OF MODERN
Indian Industrialists. The Chairman and Managing
Director of Reliance Industries running Ambani’s real
legacy is a “role model for Young Entrepreneurs”.
Mukesh, the owner of the largest private sector, and
the Fortune 500 Company in India has successfully
set up the path towards the development of Modern
India.
An innovator and believer in game-changing ideas for
the future, Mukesh Ambani did not have it easy to
begin with. Born to a middle-class family, it was due
to his hard work, determination, and keen business
sense that he turned his company, Reliance
Industries, into a global conglomerate. Today, RIL is
India’s most valuable company by market value.
Mukesh‘s Reliance Industries business is spread
across sectors such as refining, petrochemical, oil,
gas, and retail. Along with the industry, he also owns
the Mumbai Indians Twenty-Twenty team, a cricket
team under the Indian Premier League (IPL). He is an
open-minded person and welcomes new people and
innovative ideas. Once he said that the idea of
Reliance Jio was first seeded by my daughter, Isha, in
2011. Jio became a company whose identity was in
stark contrast with that of a traditional telecom
company that made money by selling SIM cards.
All successful journeys start with struggle. Success is
not achieved in one night, it requires focus and
perseverance and you must expect great things and
make things happen. The success story of Mukesh
Ambani could inspire us and make us believe in
yourself. He was positioned 42nd among the World’s
Most Respected Business Leaders and second among
the four Indian CEOs included in a study directed by
PricewaterhouseCoopers and distributed in Financial
Times. He richest person in Asia with a net worth of
US $88.8 billion surpassing many business tycoons,
and as of September 2020, he is declared as the 4th
richest person in the world.

Huawei’s next flagship chipset will be 3nm
the Kirin 9000 processor. The chipset comes in two
variants – the Kirin 9000 and Kirin 9000E – and is found
only in the Mate 40 series. The next flagship Kirin
processor leaked and which has been reported to be
called the Kirin 9010. The Kirin 9000 launched as the first
5nm processor for Android devices and after its
announcement came the Samsung Exynos 1080 and the
Qualcomm Snapdragon 888. While most people will
expect Huawei to stick to the 5nm process for at least two
years, this leak reveals it is making the jump to 3nm for
its next mobile chipset, which if all goes well, should
launch this year and possibly appear in the Mate 50
series by the fourth quarter. The Huawei P50 phones are
expected to come with Kirin 9000 processors and if
Huawei is able to pull it off, then this year’s Mate series
will come with the 3nm Kirin 9010.

Intel brings Face ID-like biometric
authentication system to ATMs
Intel announced a new facial recognition system that
.
promises to bring Face ID-like biometric access to
ATMs, smart locks and more. The Santa Clara,
California-based chipset giant said its new RealSense
ID camera system combines an active depth sensor
with a specialized neural network designed to deliver
secure, accurate and user-aware facial authentication.
The RealSense ID system starts at $99 and will be
made available in Q1 2021. Similar to Face ID on
Apple’s iPhones and iPads, RealSense ID takes
advantage of two camera lenses and special sensors
that can capture depth. Intel says the system can
adapt to users’ changing appearance over time.

Tech Can Solve Stem Cell Sector’s

Manufacturing Challenges
Transplanted stem cells have been used as regenerative
.

therapies for decades. In cancer, for example, they can restore

the body’s ability to create the red blood cells, white blood
cells, and platelets after chemotherapy. But stem cells have
wider therapeutic potential. In theory they can be
reprogrammed to regenerate tissues damaged in diseases
ranging including type 1 diabetes, Parkinson’s, amyotrophic
lateral sclerosis and Alzheimer's.
A micro-carrier-based culturing process in which the cells grow
on the surface of beads in solution to increase productivity
Innovative bioprocessing technologies and methods will also be
needed to address other challenges that stem cell developers
face. We are also applying machine learning to predict the
qualities of stem cells. - Swetha S V

WhatsApp says your privacy

won't be affected
.
WhatsApp recently announced that it is updating its terms of service
and privacy policies from February 8, 2021. After facing a lot of
backlash from users over privacy concerns, the Facebook-owned
messaging app has now issued a clarification that your privacy won't
be affected if you don't use its two optional features.WhatsApp has
said that it will share data related to how you interact with businesses
on its app. The company also added that it will soon allow businesses
to use Facebook’s hosting services to manage their communication
with users. WhatsApp Business accounts will also be able to use
Facebook’s Shops platform to display their products on WhatsApp. If
you shop from businesses that are using the Shops platform, your
shopping activity data will be shared with Facebook and it will be used
to show ads on Facebook and Instagram. Additionally, Facebook will
soon allow you to message businesses using WhatsApp using a button
on its platform. When you message a business on WhatsApp,
Facebook will be able to use this to data to show your similar ads on

 Signal App
.
After the new WhatsApp terms were made public, SpaceX and
Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted ‘Use Signal’. And Twitter CEO Jack
Dorsey retweeted Musk. The app was also endorsed by privacy
activist and whistleblower Edward Snowden. The signal is a one-
tap install app available on Google Play Store and Apple’s App
Store. The software powering the app is open-sourced and free
of charge. Signal’s encryption protocol combines Double Ratchet
algorithm with triple Elliptic-curve Diffie Hellman handshake.
The sender and receiver use the Double Ratchet algorithm to
exchange encrypted messages based on a shared secret key. the
perfect forward secrecy protocol is used for establishing a
shared key between the sender and receiver, who authenticate
each other using public keys. However, the perfect forward
secrecy on its own is not a full-proof strategy. In the event of
theft, the messages still would be visible to whoever has the
device. To that end, Signal App has added a time-bound
‘disappearing messages’ function.

Smartphone Turned Malaria
Detector
.

Ever thought one could detect malaria through a

smartphone? Dr Sai Siva Gorthi, from IIS , the department of
Instrumental and Applied Physics and her team did so. They
converted a smartphone into a powerful microscopic device
that eliminates the various stages of blood testing to detect
malaria. The team replaced the phone camera with high
resolution optics of a microscope. The smartphone also has
software that studies the images captured through the
microscope and tells even a layman whether it has the
malaria virus or not. It requires a tiny amount of blood as a
sample.

6. Know the Operational Needs.
Most people who are thinking about starting a business
focus on what they’ll sell and who they’ll sell it too. What
they often don’t consider is how the business will actually
operate. For instance, if you’re selling items, how will they
be delivered? How much customer support will be needed –
either to answer questions about the product or to respond
to people whose shipments haven’t arrived? Will you need
to accept credit cards? Will you invoice customers? Who will
follow up to be sure you’re paid? Who will build and
maintain your website and social media presence? Will you
be able to use a virtual assistant for such tasks, or will you
have to hire employees? Even if you’re starting a small
personal service business, these are issues you should
consider and plan for.
