  • 5G–MEC: Where Is the Opportunity and Who Will Rule This Space?

    Integration of cloud-native 5G networks with multi-access edge computing (MEC) is expected to significantly benefit telcos and hyperscalers, with the latter steadily making inroads into the telecommunications industry. With growth in enterprise-wide adoption of 5G–MEC use cases, competition among telcos and hyperscalers is expected to intensify. A sound business strategy will depend on identifying the high-opportunity use cases and leveraging one's strengths to develop an effective go-to-market strategy. This article highlights some of the key aspects that telcos and hyperscalers will need to consider within this space. 

  • Exploring Financial Performance Trends of Leading Japanese Corporations

    The Nikkei 225 functions as the principal index in Japan. It is constituted of prominent corporations within the nation, which collectively generated JPY 596 trillion in revenue during the fiscal year 2023. These companies have demonstrated exceptional financial performance last year, and indeed, over the past five years. The article highlights some interesting insights on their performance over the last fiscal year and preceding five-year period.

  • Exploring Factors Affecting the Global Shipping Price Rise

    In early 2024, global shipping faced challenges due to attacks on key routes, like the Red Sea and Suez Canal, causing delays and raising costs. New environmental regulations added further complexity and expenses. Short-term solutions helped, but long-term resilience requires collaboration on security, compliance, technology, and finance.

  • The Cost of Inaction: How Climate Change Impacts Farmer Livelihoods

    Climate change has caused severe environmental degradation and altered global weather patterns. This has resulted in significant impact on food production, affecting farmers worldwide. In India, agriculture is a critical economic sector, with small and marginal farmers forming a major part of it. Climate change affects various aspects of agricultural production, including rainfall, pest proliferation, soil quality, cropping patterns, and harvest unpredictability, leading to decreased yields and increased costs. The government's initiatives to support farmers in coping with climate change have faced challenges, necessitating sustainable farming practices and increased support to ensure food production.

  • The Rise of Vertical Farming and Hydroponics

    Increasing demand for food, coupled with decreasing farmlands and fertile soils, has led to the emergence of alternative forms of farming, such as vertical farming, to boost food production. Countries that have long struggled with domestic production and supply constraints due to the lack of natural resources and favorable climatic conditions are implementing these technologies to achieve food self-sufficiency.

  • EV Trends in India

    With increasing global awareness and targets to reduce carbon emissions, the government has been supporting the adoption of electric modes of transport in India. Several state-wide measures have been initiated to ensure faster transfer to environment-friendly mobility solutions. The Indian government has also introduced incentivized policies for EV original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) to cut down the costs of manufacturing and in turn, help lower the cost of ownership for consumers. However, lack of appropriate infrastructure and higher dependency on imports pose a challenge for the fast-growing EV market in India.

  • India’s Electric Vehicle Transition Roadmap

    India envisions electric vehicles (EVs) dominating its future roads. Driven by a shift in global climate policies, consumer preference for environment-friendly transport options, and an expanding charging infrastructure network, the EV sector has grown from ~0.5% in CY2018 to ~6.3% by the end of CY2023. The government is targeting 30% EV penetration by CY2030, with volumes set to cross annual sales of 10 mn units. The growth is contributed by the E4W segment with ~2% adoption (CY2023) and the E2W segment with ~5% adoption (CY2023). Traditional gasoline-powered car manufacturers are working on pivoting their models to electric and hybrid cars, with plans to launch more electric variants. The government has introduced various targets and initiatives for the EV industry to accelerate the pace of adoption.
