Digital Banks - Reimagining Trust
LinkedIn
May 11, 2022
Neobanks, sometimes called "digital banks," are fintech firms that offer apps, software and other technologies to streamline online and mobile banking. These fintechs specialize in particular financial products, like checking and savings accounts. As a result, they are more agile and transparent than their megabanks counterparts, even though many of them partner with such institutions to insure their financial products.

The World is in a Self-Destructive Mode
LinkedIn
April 28, 2022
Humanity's broken risk perception reverses global progress in a 'spiral of self-destruction, finds new UN report. Human activity and behaviour contribute to an ever-growing number of disasters worldwide, putting millions of lives and every social and economic gain in danger, warns the UN. The GAR2022 blames these disasters on a broken perception of risk based on "optimism, underestimation and invincibility," which leads to policy, finance and development decisions that exacerbate existing vulnerabilities and put people in danger.

Why are People not returning to work?
LinkedIn
April 27, 2022
Pandemic spurred on the 'Great Resignation' of 2021, during which a massive number of employees voluntarily quit their jobs. However, what we are living through is not short-term turbulence induced by the Covid-19. Instead, it is the continuation of a trend of rising quit rates which began more than a decade ago, according to a study by Harvard Business Review (HBR). The major five factors exacerbated by the Pandemic have been the cause of this trend and the changes that we live through in today's labour market: the Five Rs: Reluctance, Reshuffling, Reconsideration, Relocation, and Retirement. Unfortunately, all of these factors are here to stay.

Throughout the Pandemic, the businesses consulted to stabilize, mobilize, and return to work. However, during the post-recovery, the organizations are working to find newer market opportunities and become stronger by building resilience to navigate future shocks. To address the challenges posed by the Pandemic, organizations of all sizes and scales globally had to respond in agile and decisive ways.

Cryptos Asset Class Dilemma
LinkedIn
January 22, 2022
Cryptocurrencies have caught attention as an asset class in the last few years with a $3-trillion market opportunity. They have gone mainstream on the back of their sharp rally despite being famed for their volatility and uncertainties around regulations in many countries, including India. The digital token went further into the mainstream in 2021 as institutions, and retail investors got involved with the crypto market.

Will the Emerging Technologies enable building a Resilient Supply Chain
LinkedIn
December 15, 2021
The supply chain industry has witnessed a paradigm shift, especially in recent times due to the disruption caused by the Pandemic. The industry is now considering an intrinsic part of the overall business strategy, thanks to the Covid-19, which has made the adoption of Digital Transformation a need of the hour in every industry. Besides, supply chain networks face enormous pressure caused by rising and shifting customer expectations for various products and services. The pre-covid era faced challenges relating to additional customer service requirements or fulfilment needs. The businesses responded by ramping up hiring and also throwing more people to address the problems. However, this strategy was unsustainable, primarily due to the constant tightening of the labour market. By then, a growing number of leaders in the supply chain hit the tipping point and started adapting technology solutions and tech-based business practices to reduce the pressures.

What is a Neo Bank?
Techutzpah.com
October 27, 2021
Traditional banking would bring to mind the monolithic brick-and-mortar, mountains of paperwork, and malfunctioning ATMs. But, according to Wikipedia, “the term ‘Neo Banking’ was first coined in 2016 to describe fintech based financial service providers that were challenging traditional banks.” However, a new breed of non-bank fintech (financial technology) startups, known as neobanks, are combating these stereotypes in the form of digital-first-often, digital-only banking platforms that promise seamless online experiences and low- or no-fee services.

What is Embedded Finance? (Contd)
Techutzpah.com
October 12, 2021
Global giants like Amazon, Mercedes, IKEA, or Walmart are cutting out the traditional banks, the financial middleman, and plugging in software from start-ups to offer customers everything right from Credit, banking, and insurance. As a result, they have now cracked the code for Finance. Until recently, if an organization wanted to offer financial services, they were required to form a FinTech arm within their business. This included an enormous capital expenditure, which took years to develop and a long time to show profits. Embedded Finance Infrastructure reduces the barriers approximately 10x for digital platforms to natively offer financial services to their customers. Therefore, for the customer, Embedded Finance enables ‘native’ FinTech experiences inside the non-fintech digital platforms closest to the customer. Furthermore, embedded Finance brings together multiple stakeholders and enables them to play to their strengths where all the parties involved are benefitted mutually.

What is Defi (Decentralized Finance)?
Techutzpah.com
September 13, 2021
According to a report by blockchain data platform Chainalysis., “Fifteen million Indians are believed to have made investments in private cryptocurrency holdings. Cryptocurrency investments in the nation increased from $923 million in April 2020 to approx $6.6 billion by May 2021, a growth of about 400% in one year.” More Indians started investing in cryptocurrencies from 2020 as the Covid-19 pandemic led to a global economic crisis, resulting in higher volatility and depreciation in traditional assets like equities, currencies, and bonds. As a result, more people around the globe started investing in cryptocurrencies. The growing number of crypto adopters also suggests a shift in the investment paradigm, driven mainly by the country’s younger population. While investments in gold are considered as an ideal hedge in times of economic downturn, more young Indians seem to have changed their appetite. As the situation stands, digital coin investments form a faction of bullion market holdings, but younger Indians — between the age group of 18 and 35 years — find cryptocurrency a better option compared to gold.

How do we build a Supply Chain that is Resilient, Robust and Futuristic?
Techutzpah.com
July 12, 2021
Global Supply Chains in a Post-Pandemic Era: The United States-China Trade-war and the supply and demand shocks brought on by the Covid-19 crisis have forced manufacturers to reassess their supply chains. In the foreseeable future, the manufacturers will face pressure to increase domestic production, reduce dependencies on risky sourcing, rethink strategies of lean inventories, just-in-time replenishment, and grow employment in their home countries, which will impede when material shortages arise. The risk facing any particular industry value chain reflects its level of exposure to different types of shocks and the underlying vulnerabilities of a specific organization or in the entire value chain. This article shares my thought leadership on building a more resilient supply chain without sacrificing competitiveness.

What, How, and Why about NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)
Techutzpah.com
April 14, 2021
Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) is a massive buzzword in the world of cryptocurrency at the moment. In the Crypto world, any object that can be digitally transferred from one person to another is called a ‘Token.’ Tokens, unlike coins, do not have the privilege of residing on their own blockchain. They depend on an existing blockchain to function and can be assigned a programmable value that can be recorded and maintained using a private key. An example of a token could be the general coins themselves. Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin, and many that you probably have heard of, have a value assigned to them that can be exchanged for goods or services. However, payment tokens are not the only kind of tokens. There are three more types – Non-Fungible Tokens, Utility Tokens, and Security Tokens. In this article, we will be focusing on NFTs alone.

March 17, 2021


A graph is a data structure consisting of two components Nodes (vertices) and Edges in computer science. A graph G can be defined as G=(V, E), where V is the set of nodes, and E are the edges between them. If there are directional dependencies between the nodes, then edges are directed; if not, edges are undirected. Therefore, a graph can represent things like molecules or social media networks. Think of nodes as users and edges as connections.
