Accelerating enterprise global capability maturity using digital capabilities and practitioner’s strength.

Global Capability Centers (GCCs) are consistently gaining patronage as a strategic lever and have seen rapid growth over the past couple of years. GCCs are in-house units that are set up by multinational companies in offshore geographies to take advantage of low operating costs, talent availability and language skills. Large companies have been using an outsourced model; however, over the years, there has been a major shift towards a GCC model, which is also referred to as in-house centres. Early on, these units were set up to take advantage of the cost and talent arbitrage, but have now progressed to be ‘value creators’ and are being leveraged as innovation and transformation hubs. India continues to be the top destination for new GCCs, hosting over 1580 centres with a talent pool exceeding 1.66 million professionals as of June 2023.With a mission to simplify and make GCCs accessible and be size agnostic, Gloplax was founded in 2019 by leaders of the global sourcing industry.

Governments cash surplus tops Rs 3.4 lakh crore

Apart from the deceleration in government spending, higher direct tax collections and a likely sharp rise in issuances of Treasury Bills by the Centre in FY24 were factors pushing up the government's cash balances, analysts said. The flow of government cash balances to and from the banking system is a key factor that influences liquidity conditions. Mumbai: A constant feature of the Indian banking system over the past couple of months has been the prevalence of large deficit liquidity conditions, and one of the factors behind banks' scramble for funds is a massive build-up of government cash balances as the Centre slows down spending.Apart from the deceleration in government spending, higher direct tax collections and a likely sharp rise in issuances of Treasury Bills by the Centre in FY24 were factors pushing up the government's cash balances, analysts said. The flow of government cash balances to and from the banking system is a key factor that influences liquidity conditions."Government cash surplus as of Janury 12, 2024 is tracking at ₹3.4 lakh crore versus ₹1.6 lakh crore as of January 13, 2023. We see space for expenditure savings for the Centre on transfers to states which consists of finance commission grants, centrally sponsored schemes and central sector schemes, loans for capital expenditure etc," said Gaura Sengupta, economist at IDFC First Bank. "Based on data from Finance Ministry, 15th Finance Commission grants to states are tracking 29%YoY lower in FYTD24 (Apr-Dec)," she said.As on January 16, the headline liquidity deficit in the banking system was at ₹1.94 lakh crore, Reserve Bank of India data showed. Liquidity in the banking system typically tightens around the middle of a month due to tax outflows before easing towards the end of the month as the government spends on salaries and pensions of employees. With banks facing a scarcity of funds at present, the weighted average call rate (WACR) closed at 6.76% on Wednesday, much higher than the repo rate of 6.50%. The elevated money market rates have pushed up costs of funds for banks, and in turn for corporates, looking to raise money through short-term debt."It's speculative to say that the build-up in cash balance is for any particular reason, but one thing is that the government started the year in WMA (Ways and Means Advances), so there might have been a target to build up the cash balance for the end of the year as well," said A Prasanna, head of research at ICICI Securities Primary Dealership. WMA is a funding facility that the RBI extends to the government in order to tide over short-term cash-flow mismatches.Till January 11, the government's net direct tax collections rose 19% annually to ₹14.70 lakh crore, official data released last week showed. Tax collections till then were at 81% of the full-year target.  

HDFC Bank seeks Singapore bank license to grow overseas

HDFC Bank, India's largest private sector lender, is seeking approval for a banking license in Singapore. The bank aims to tap into the Indian diaspora in Singapore for savings and term deposits, as well as cross-sell products like mortgages. HDFC Bank already has a presence in London, Hong Kong, and Bahrain. With a customer base of 93 million, the bank is expanding its reach overseas after a merger with Housing Development Finance Corp. last year.HDFC Bank Ltd, India’s biggest private sector lender, is seeking to open its first branch in Singapore, signaling its overseas ambitions after sewing up a landmark merger with mortgage financier Housing Development Finance Corp. last year.  The bank has applied to the Monetary Authority of Singapore for a banking license and is awaiting approval, according to sources familiar with the matter. It is not clear what kind of banking license HDFC Bank is seeking in Singapore, said one of the people, who declined to be identified as the information is confidential. The banking giant is seeking a bigger presence abroad to tap the Indian diaspora for savings and term deposits, as well as to cross-sell more products, including mortgages, the people said. At home, HDFC has been focusing on deepening its reach in the world’s most populous country through loans to retail customers. HDFC Bank did not respond to an email seeking comment. “As a matter of policy, MAS does not comment on our dealings with financial institutions,” according to a spokesperson from the Singapore regulator. Singapore, with a population of almost 6 million people, houses a large India diaspora. About 650,000 non-resident and persons of Indian origin live in the city-state, according to Indian government data.HDFC Bank is currently not licensed or regulated by the MAS, according to its website. It only provides home loans-related advisory services for the purchase of properties in India, the website states. The categories of banking licenses in Singapore encompass full banks, qualifying full banks and wholesale banks, which impose varying levels of restrictions on the lenders’ activities. State Bank of India and ICICI Bank Ltd. hold qualifying full banking licenses, alongside eight other banks like Bank of China Ltd. and BNP Paribas SA. Such licenses are open only to foreign banks and allow them to have additional branches and/or off-premise ATMs as well as to share ATMs among themselves, according to the Association of Banks in Singapore’s website.The MAS regulates and supervises more than 150 deposit-taking institutions in Singapore, ranging from full banks to finance companies, according to its website.  

Teslas winter woes: A storm of challenges and disruption

Tesla is grappling with operational, strategic, and environmental challenges that impact its stock value and investor focus. The recent challenges placing Tesla in the headlines, including operational disruptions, strategic market adjustments, and technological limitations in cold weather, have impacted its stock price, contributing to a 13% decline in the past thirty days. Tesla's analysts are concerned about business growth, which has shown signs of deterioration in recent quarters. This, combined with the company's high valuation, makes some analysts cautious about Tesla's stock in the medium term.Despite these concerns, Tesla's diverse business operations beyond just manufacturing cars offer some optimism. Its advancements in other areas, like energy solutions and technology innovations, provide potential growth avenues. However, the company's core focus on car manufacturing is subject to market cyclicality, which currently does not favor bullish sentiments.Investors eagerly anticipate the release of the Q4 earnings report and guidance for the fiscal year 2024, as it will impact the company's stock valuation. Manufacturing efficiency and the number of vehicles manufactured are pivotal in influencing investors' interest. While some investors maintain a positive outlook based on potential long-term growth, Tesla’s overall sentiment is a mix of optimism and caution. Some investors and Tesla stock analysts have adopted a bearish stance due to the company's prevailing challenges and market dynamics. Tesla's Berlin gigafactory is pivotal to its European market growth. The Berlin gigafactory has recently halted operations due to supply chain issues linked to the Red Sea blockade. This crucial maritime channel is integral to global trade, and its disruption has had a domino effect, underlining the vulnerability of global manufacturing networks to geopolitical strife. The Berlin factory, known for its state-of-the-art production capabilities, now faces uncertainties that concern investors, particularly regarding potential delays in vehicle production and distribution. This halt impacts Tesla's operational efficiency and places added pressure on its stock value as the market reacts to these unforeseen challenges and the possible implications for Tesla's European market performance and overall global supply chain efficiency.In response to intensifying competition in China and Europe, Tesla has strategically reduced prices for select models in these key markets. This price adjustment is calculated to strengthen Tesla’s standing, especially in China, where the demand for affordable electric vehicles is rapidly expanding. While this strategy could potentially increase Tesla's market share in the short term, it raises crucial questions about its long-term effects on its profitability and financial health. These concerns are particularly pertinent for investors as they weigh the implications of Tesla's pricing strategy on its future revenue streams and overall market sustainability.   

Indias most valuable PSU remains a wealth destroyer

Life Insurance Corporation of India (LIC) overtook State Bank of India on Wednesday to become India's most valuable state-run company in terms of market capitalisation. At the start of trading on Wednesday, LIC had a market capitalisation of ₹5.66 lakh crore, compared to SBI's ₹5.64 lakh crore, though SBI recovered from opening lows to reclaim the top spot for a brief period again. However, despite becoming India's most valued company, LIC has caused loss of investor wealth. The stock listed at a discount in May 2022, a level it only crossed on Tuesday, nearly two years after listing. Although the stock has crossed the retail IPO price of ₹904, it remains below the original IPO price of ₹949. Over the last 12 months, the stock has gained only 27%, compared to other PSE index constituents like REC, PFC, BHEL and HAL, which have gained anywhere between 140% to 250% over the same time frame. In fact, LIC shares are the second-worst performers on the Nifty PSE index over a 12-month period, only ahead of Container Corporation of India, which is up 25%. LIC remains India's biggest IPO where the government sold a 3.5% stake to mobilise over ₹21,000 crore. That is the only stake sold in the open market yet as the government continues to hold the remaining 96.5%. DIPAM Secretary Tuhin Kanta Pandey in his prior interactions with CNBC-TV18 had mentioned that an LIC Follow-On Public Offer (FPO) is not on the cards yet. Additionally, unlike other PSUs, LIC has been granted an exemption from complying with minimum public shareholding norms. It can achieve the 25% minimum public shareholding by May 2032, instead of the usual three years. LIC shares have recovered from their 52-week low of ₹530 and despite this rally are trading at 0.85 times price-to-embedded value. Shares of LIC are trading 0.6% lower at ₹887.2. The stock is up 11% over the last month.  

Ram Mandir News - RJD chief Lalu Yadav to skip Ram Mandir Pran Pratistha ceremony

Ahead of the pranpratishtha ceremony, Ayodhya Ram Temple Construction Committee Chairman, Nripendra Mishra says, “…a historic event…There is not only in India but all over who have faith, they feel that their rights have been recognised, their faith has been respected. So, from that sense of the term, there is jubilation. But at the same time, I would say and I believe what the PM said in 2019 when the judgement came – there should be no sense of victory or there should be no sense of defeat. We must all accept the judicial pronouncement. So, everyone is cautious that while you celebrate this day, don’t celebrate this day as something which is to show any other person of a different faith that he is less important to this country. This country belongs to everybody.” Priest Sunil Das in Ayodhya says, “This Ayodhya temple will be the centre for universal peace centre….” Priest Sunil Das conducted religious rituals in the ‘Garbha Griha’ of Ayodhya Ram Temple today.

Thakur, accompanied by Delhi BJP chief Virendra Sachdeva, participated in a cleanliness drive at the Valmiki temple premises. He warned that the opposition’s decision to boycott the ceremony might lead to people boycotting them, citing past instances when public support waned due to similar actions. The “pran pratishtha” ceremony is scheduled for January 22 as part of the BJP’s “Swachhata Sewa” programme. Former Chief Minister and RJD chief Lalu Prasad Yadav, on Wednesday, said that he will not be attending the Pran Pratishtha ceremony at the Ram Mandir in Ayodhya on January 22.“I will not go to Ayodhya to attend the pran partishtha ceremony of the Ram temple,” he said.

Australia Scraps 'Golden Visa' Scheme For The Super Rich, To Be Replaced With...

After scrapping this program, the Australian Government will be focusing on issuing more visas to skilled workers instead. Australia has decided to scrap a major visa program that provided overseas wealthy investors with the right to live in the country. According to BBC, the scheme dubbed 'golden visa' was halted after the Australian government found that the visa program was not delivering the desired economic outcomes. Introduced in 2012, the 'golden visa' offered High Net Worth Individuals (HNIs) a way to gain permanent residency in Australia. ''It has been obvious for years that this visa is not delivering what our country and economy needs,'' Minister for Home Affairs Clare O'Neil said in a statement on Monday. After scrapping this programme, the Australian Government will be focusing on issuing more visas to skilled workers instead, capable ''of making outsized contributions to Australia.'' As per News.com.au, the visa allowed foreign nationals to stay in Australia for up to five years if they invest at least $5m in approved investments. Of this, a maximum of 60 per cent can be invested in non-residential real estate, corporate bonds, and shares. The program was designed to attract more foreign businesses and investors into the country. According to the Home Affairs Department, more than 100,000 overseas migrants have used one of the BIIP streams to gain residency in Australia since 2012. Of these, 85 percent are Chinese millionaires. Unlike other visa schemes, the golden visa did not require people to speak English and did not have any age limit. Critics argued that the scheme only allowed wealthy foreign nationals to park illegal funds in Australia. A review in 2016 showed that the policy had ''potential for money laundering and other nefarious activities.'' An inquiry by the Australian government also revealed that not only the 'golden visa' programme was misused, but it also allowed people with 'less business acumen' to reside in the country. Clancy Moore, the chief executive of Transparency International Australia, told the BBC, ''For far too long corrupt officials and kleptocrats have used golden visas as a vehicle to park their illicit funds in Australia and arguably hide their proceeds of crime." Similar investment visa schemes have been scrapped in Canada, Britain, and Singapore amid allegations that they have been abused by wealthy individuals and failed to benefit the countries themselves.

Apart from it, a rangoli reading "Jai Siyaram" also was made using flowers and vermillion powders. In the visuals captured by ANI drone, the light from 2.5 lakh oil-fed-lamp with Janaki Temple on background and surrounded by devotees looked mesmerizing. It took about an hour to light up all the lamps and get to the glory which shined brightly as seen through the bird's eye view. Earlier in the day, rallies and celebratory events were held in the ancient city along with the screening of the Pran Pratistha of Ram Temple in Ayodhya.

Since then, dense fog over Ayodhya has made it difficult to get a clear view.In the satellite images, Dashrath Mahal and Sarayu River are clearly seen. The newly renovated Ayodhya railway station is also visible.India currently has over 50 satellites in space, and some of them have a resolution of less than a metre. The image has been processed by the National Remote Sensing Centre in Hyderabad, a part of the Indian space agency.ISRO technologies have also been used at other stages of the temple's construction. A big challenge in the grand project was to identify the exact location to place the idol of Lord Ram. The trust entrusted with building the temple wanted the idol to be placed in a 3 feet X 6 feet space where Lord Ram is believed to have been born.Alok Sharma, International working President of Vishwa Hindu Parishad, is closely involved with the Ram Temple project. He told NDTV that following the demolition of Babri Masjid in 1992, 40 feet of debris covered the spot where Lord Ram is believed to have been born. This debris had to be removed and the location secured so that the new idol is exactly and precisely at that spot.This was easier said than done because construction of the temple began nearly three decades after the demolition. Then, space technology came to the rescue.To identify the exact spot, contractors for construction firm Larsen & Toubro used the most sophisticated Differential Global Positioning System (GPS)-based co-ordinates. The co-ordinates, precise to nearly 1-3 centimetres, were drawn up. They formed the basis for the placement of the statue in the temple's garba griha or sanctum sanctorum.The precision equipment used in these geographical instruments also incorporates precise location signals from India's own 'swadeshi GPS' -- the ISRO-made 'Navigation with Indian Constellation' or the NavIC satellite constellation.ISRO chairman S Somanath told NDTV that five satellites of the NAvIC constellation are working, and the system is currently set for an upgrade.    

Consecration At Incomplete Ram Temple? Key Official Responds To Huge Row

Shankaracharyas are pontiffs of four mutts in four corners of the country -- Uttarakhand in the north, Odisha in the east, Karnataka in the south and Gujarat in the west. They are considered the tallest leaders of Hindu faith.Amid last-minute preparations for the consecration ceremony at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya, chairman of the temple construction committee Nripendra Misra has responded to the criticism by Hindu religious leaders Shankaracharyas and their decision to stay away from the event.While two of them have spoken out against the way the consecration ceremony is being organised and have said they won't attend it, the other two have been silent. Explaining why they won't be attending the event, leaders of the mutts in Odisha's Puri and Uttarakhand's Joshimath have flagged several points. They have said the pran pratistha should not be held before the temple construction is complete. They have also questioned why the Prime Minister will be inside the sanctum sanctorum when the Shankaracharyas have been allotted seats outside it. The event, they have alleged, is being given a political angle.Responding to the controversy in an exclusive chat with NDTV, Mr Misra said, "Shankaracharyas are dharm gurus. I am no one. They are responsible for the observants of Sanatan Dharma. Having said so, I want to give a message to the nation"."What we had announced was that Ram Lalla, the child Ram, will be in bhootal (the temple's ground floor). The bhootal will have the garba griha (sanctum sanctorum), five mandaps, (religious) iconography. That has been completed," Mr Misra explained.What remains incomplete is the first floor, he said. "The first floor is Ram Darbar. It's where Raja Ram comes, where he sits with Sita. On the first floor, you will have Ram, Sita, Laxman and Hanuman," he said.Listen to the latest songs, only on JioSaavn.com. A retired IAS officer, Mr Misra served as principal secretary to Prime Minister Narendra Modi from 2014 to 2019. Following his retirement and in the aftermath of the Supreme Court judgment that cleared the path for the temple's construction, Mr Misra was appointed chairman of the construction committee in 2020.Speaking to NDTV, Mr Misra also listed the itinerary for tomorrow and explained step-by-step how a devotee would proceed towards 'darshan' of Lord Ram after she enters the temple.

‘Showstopper’: Pluto’s most accurate natural colour images awes netizens as 2015 click goes viral

NASA marked a groundbreaking achievement as New Horizons became the first-ever spacecraft to closely observe Pluto and its moons. On July 14, 2015, NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft completed a historic encounter with the distant Pluto, making a close pass at a mere 7,750 miles (12,472 km) above its surface.New Horizons is the first and only spacecraft to approach Pluto, exploring this relic from the solar system’s formation. It covered a greater distance and duration (over nine years) than any previous deep space probe, upon reaching Pluto.The spacecraft navigated through a precise 36-by-57 miles (58 by 92 km) window in space, akin to a commercial airliner arriving with a precision no greater than the width of a tennis ball.This mission marked a groundbreaking achievement as New Horizons became the first-ever spacecraft to closely observe Pluto and its moons, including Charon, Nix, Hydra, Styx, and Kerberos. One of the initial and visually striking revelations from New Horizons was the discovery of a prominent heart-shaped feature on Pluto’s surface. Subsequent to this, on March 29, 2022, scientists unveiled that colossal ice volcanoes contribute to some of Pluto’s most intriguing surface characteristics. The evidence suggests ongoing geological activity, possibly with active eruptions still occurring.  Reflecting on the past year, it is astonishing to consider that we once had little insight into the nature of Pluto. However, the revelations quickly highlighted Pluto’s unique and unexpected qualities. The photo shared by @thebestfigen on social media platform X has triggered a wave of awe among netizens. With over 20k views, many users flooded the post expressing their astonishment and excitement. One user wrote, “I always thought Pluto would have a more vibrant color palette than this!” Another mentioned, “I want to see the funky aliens on the dark side of the moon.” A third added, “Amazing capture.” A fourth said, “Such a showstopper!”The beauty and complexity observed in Pluto and its moons have left us captivated, and anticipation for further discoveries remains high. It is noteworthy that New Horizons’ mission to Pluto stands out as a singular opportunity in the lifetimes of many, emphasising the exceptional nature of this space exploration endeavour.
