  • “Need to find balance between innovation and regulation in the Fintech sector,” says RBI Deputy Governor T Rabi Sankar

    “Need to find balance between innovation and regulation in the Fintech sector,” says RBI Deputy Governor T Rabi Sankar

    Mumbai: In a special keynote at the Moneycontrol Startup Conclave, RBI’s Deputy Governor, T Rabi Sankar spoke at length about the Fintech sector – The role it is playing to achieve financial inclusion and its regulations.

    “RBI is closely watching the evolving space of Fintech. Innovations are happening across three elements: time, access and data. New innovations are helping in driving down costs, refocusing products and services and improving customer reach and services. There are no Fintech regulations right now. We are talking to the industry and understanding whether there is a need to regulate them. Can’t give a timeline at the moment. But it will come only after consultation with them,” he added.

    “We at RBI need to understand how Fintechs are evolving and innovators are thinking. But the young innovators’ focus is on innovations and not as much on regulations yet and we need to find that balance. We time our intervention so that the industry (Fintech) is allowed to grow,” he said.

    Speaking on cryptocurrencies, RBI’s Deputy Governor said, “People trading crypto is not the concern but the unbacked cryptocurrencies and the product itself alongside its backers is the problem.” He also highlighted that stablecoins pegged to other currencies in emerging market economies pose several threats.

    “Stablecoins pegged to currencies, for example USD are not a risk to the USA. But stable currencies pegged to other currencies in emerging market economies (EMEs) pose very serious financial stability, capital management, and monetary policy risks,” Sankar said.

  • How Fitness and Prostate Supplements Can Affect Your Prostate Health

    Maintaining optimal prostate health is essential for men of all ages. As men age, their prostate gland is susceptible to becoming enlarged, which can lead to serious problems like benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) or worse, prostate cancer.

    The good news is that you are the one in the driver’s seat when it comes to taking care of your prostate. There are concrete actions you can take to promote prostate health and reduce the risk of developing these conditions in the first place.

    Your diet, exercise and lifestyle habits are all vital components that affect your prostate health. These aspects can be complemented by taking prostate supplements. Keep in mind, though, that they are only a part of your prostate health journey, not something that can replace healthy lifestyle choices.

    Whether you’re looking to prevent prostate problems or manage existing issues, understanding the benefits of exercise and prostate supplements can help you take control of your prostate health. But before you start looking for the best supplement for prostate enlargement, keep reading to find out how supplements, exercise and lifestyle changes can aid in maintaining a healthy prostate gland.

    The prostate health workout

    Exercise is an essential component of a healthy lifestyle and can play a crucial role in maintaining optimal prostate health. The “Prostate Health Workout” is a fitness plan specifically designed to support prostate health. It includes exercises that target the pelvic floor and lower body, such as:

    Squats

    This exercise targets multiple muscle groups, including:

    •    Glutes
    •    Quadriceps
    •    Hamstrings

    Squats are easy to perform and can help improve overall lower body strength and promote healthy blood flow to the pelvic area. Just stand with your feet shoulder-width apart and slowly lower your body as if you were sitting in a chair. Be sure to keep your back straight and your knees behind your toes. Once you have completed a squat, slowly rise back up to a standing position.

    Lunges

    Lunges are another lower body exercise that can help improve your pelvic floor and prostate health. Like squats, lunges target your glutes, quads and hamstrings. To perform a lunge, step forward with one foot, bending both knees until your front knee is directly over your ankle. Then, push back up to a standing position and repeat with the other leg.

    Kegels

    Kegels are an exercise that also targets the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support the bladder, rectum and prostate, and can help prevent urinary and fecal incontinence. To perform a kegel, imagine that you are trying to stop the flow of urine midstream. Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles and hold for a few seconds before releasing. Repeat this action several times.

    Yoga

    Yoga consists of a set of movements and low-impact exercises that will help improve your flexibility, balance and overall well-being. Certain yoga poses, like the Warrior Pose and the Downward-Facing Dog, can also help improve pelvic floor and prostate health.

    The role of diet in prostate health

    As you may expect, diet plays an important role in maintaining optimal prostate health. Consuming a diet that is high in fruits, vegetables and whole grains can help reduce the risk of prostate problems. Additionally, you should try to limit or avoid altogether processed foods and red meat, as they increase the risk of prostate cancer. Here are some facts you should know about the connection between different types of food and prostate health:

    Fruits and vegetables

    Since they are rich in antioxidants, vitamins and minerals, eating fruits and vegetables can help protect against prostate problems. Specifically, tomatoes and other red and pink fruits contain lycopene, which has prostate health benefits. Leafy green vegetables, like spinach and kale, are also good sources of nutrients that support prostate health.

    Whole grains

    Whole grains, such as brown rice, quinoa and whole wheat bread, are high in fiber and can help promote healthy bowel movements. Maintaining regular bowel movements can help prevent the buildup of toxins in the body, which can contribute to prostate problems.

    Processed foods and red meat

    Processed foods, especially fast food and packaged snacks are typically high in sugar, salt and unhealthy fats. Consuming these foods can increase inflammation in your body, which increases the risk of prostate cancer.

    The role of supplements in prostate health

    In addition to exercise and a healthy diet, supplements can also play a role in maintaining optimal prostate health. Certain supplements contain nutrients that have prostate health benefits, including:

    Saw palmetto

    Commonly used to support prostate health, saw palmetto extract comes from the fruit of the saw palmetto plant and is used to help reduce the symptoms of an enlarged prostate. It works by reducing the production of dihydrotestosterone (DHT), a hormone that can contribute to prostate problems.

    Zinc

    The prostate gland contains more zinc than any other organ in the body, and a deficiency in zinc increases the risk of prostate problems. Thus, zinc supplements provide your body with an essential mineral that can help support prostate health by reducing inflammation and supporting healthy immune function.
    Beta-sitosterol

    Beta-sitosterol is found in many foods, including fruits, vegetables and nuts. Beta-sitosterol supplements have prostate health benefits by reducing inflammation and supporting healthy immune function.

    Conclusion

    In conclusion, you can take proactive steps to support your prostate health by combining exercise, a healthy diet and supplements. By taking care of your body and seeking medical attention when necessary, you can achieve optimal prostate health and lead a healthy, active life.

  • Cryptocurrency VeChain (VET) – what is it

    Cryptocurrency VeChain (VET) – what is it

    VeChain (VET) is a digital currency (token) of its developer platform, which acts as a vast platform for converting ordinary information into digital based on the blockchain. The platform is used to label goods in politics, production, and logistics. The essence of the project is to obtain reliable data about the product from the beginning of its show to its receipt by the end consumer. VeChain Thor is a different product that connects 2 systems: the Internet and the blockchain.

    What is VeChain (VET)

    It is challenging for an ordinary person to understand what VeChain is immediate, so you need to familiarize yourself with the product’s features. The platform is made to work with various market groups, including B2B and B2C, and vet to usd.

    Manufacturers are allowed to monitor the sources of distribution in real time by marking all products with a digital code, which is unique. The consumer can verify the authenticity and quality and receive detailed data about the product by scanning the code through a smartphone and a special application.
    The basis of the platform is the solution to all problems caused by fakes on the market. For example, a customer wants to buy an expensive Rolex brand watch, but he cannot 100% believe the seller that the product is genuine. Suppose the manufacturer uses a similar platform for their products. In that case, any consumer can scan the code through their phone to obtain all the data about the product: year of manufacture, materials, country, and so on.

    The platform should help different companies work quickly with each other without deception and intermediaries. As a result of this, the creators believe that the VeChain cryptocurrency will allow the following:

    ● Use technology to digitize real goods and store data about them in the blockchain network. QR codes, RFID tags, and NFC chips are used for this. For any product, a unique code will be entered in the register, and a particular identifier will be applied to the product. After reading it, a person receives accurate data on the movement of the product. When it comes to food, the client can find out who, when, and the products were produced. Similar measures are used for auto and branded goods.

    ● Enter and store information about business documents and corporate materials. This leads to the fact that all data cannot be deleted or corrected; all business partners will be able to access such a register.

    ● Launch of smart contracts, allowing firms to create contracts without the help of lawyers independently.

    Why should you be careful when making an exchange?

    Most cryptocurrency owners note that they are afraid of becoming victims of fraud from unreliable services. For this reason, for cryptocurrency exchange, it is worth choosing only proven and reliable services that users have already verified.

    It is essential to pay attention to the following factors:

    ● Cryptocurrency exchange rate – it should be profitable

    ● The service should not ask for your data that is not needed for the operation

    ● Choose a service with which you will work conveniently and profitably, and do not forget about reliability.

    Which service to choose?

    We advise you to pay attention to such a reliable and high-quality service as letsexchange.io, which meets all the criteria described above. The people who used his services were satisfied with both the level of security and the transaction’s profitability, like sell usdt.

    All of the above suggests that your cooperation with the letsexchange.io service will be pleasant and beneficial. Therefore, we advise you to pay attention to this service and use it whenever you have to exchange cryptocurrency.

     

  • Bowlers can spell doom for batters in Australia, says Ishant Sharma

    Bowlers can spell doom for batters in Australia, says Ishant Sharma

    Veteran bowler Ishant Sharma talks about India’s chances of winning and how the current player line-up is perfect. In the interview, Sharma expressed his thoughts about the former captain’s batting performance being crucial for the win and believes Kohli will be there for his team. He also discussed other talents on Rohit Sharma’s team and how they have a great chance of winning the ICC T20 World Cup 2022 after the prolonged wait since 2007.

    While the Indian fast bowler is excited about the tournament, he thinks it will be a great one as multiple teams have fantastic players. For Sharma, it’s more exciting, especially after the first match victory for India.

    Explaining the key points to bring home the silver cup, Sharma thinks the bowlers will be ‘crucial’ in the tournament. The chances of bounce are pretty high. Bowlers will have a lot of opportunities since Australian grounds are big. He also states that scoring runs are comparatively easy in T20 tournaments these days. He says bowlers are the ones ‘who can make the difference.’

    Explaining India’s odds against winning without star bowler Jasprit Bumrah, Sharma said, “There is plenty of depth in India’s fast bowling and somebody is going to have to step up and win the World Cup for their team.”

    When he was asked whether the Indian team has the perfect balance of experienced and youth players, Sharma was affirmative. He expressed how the team has a good ‘experienced core’ with players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, Dinesh Karthik, and KL Rahul. He also said the Indian team has multiple players accustomed to winning T20 games.

    He also stated that the Indian team is in good shape and they have prepared well. Sharma said, “The Indian team has played a lot of T20 cricket in the build-up and I think they’ve rotated the team well enough so that every player is mentally fresh. That’s so important.”

    Praising India’s star player Kohli, Sharma showcased full support and faith for the former skipper. Sharma said, “I have played so much cricket with him since childhood and I know that he will perform exactly how the team needs him to perform. If they require quick innings from him, he will deliver. If they need somebody to bat through the innings, he can do that, too,” while explaining how Kohli is all about his team.

    During the interview, Ishant Sharma also talked about other players at length, like how Rishabh Pant has the power to win a game ‘single-handedly.’ He also explained how Suryakumar Yadav is a ‘difficult player to bowl to.’

    While concluding, the interviewer asked Sharma to name challenging teams for the upcoming T20 World Cup, and he pointed to England and Australia. With star players like Jos Buttler and David Warner on these teams, Sharma thinks ‘they can put bowlers under pressure from any situation and are a big part of why he thinks their teams can challenge India for the title.

  • What Are the Key Variables for Calculating the Breakeven Formula

    What Are the Key Variables for Calculating the Breakeven Formula

    The breakeven formula is one of the most basic formulas in accounting. It helps you determine whether your business is profitable or not, and it’s a great place to start when you’re trying to figure out how much you need to charge for your product or service. The breakeven formula identifies how many units you need to sell, taking into account fixed and variable costs. Make sure to understand how to calculate these metrics because you’ll add them to the pitch deck to impress investors during your fundraising efforts. The breakeven and estimated profits could also influence the safe note you draw up when contracting with financiers.

    Calculating Fixed Costs

    Fixed costs are those that don’t change with the level of sales. The most obvious example is rent. If you have to pay rent every month, it doesn’t matter how many products you make or how much you sell; the same amount of rent will come out of your pocket each month.

    Examples of fixed costs are:

    ●  Utilities – Gas, electric, internet, water, telephone, in addition to any other rates that do not change by sales volume.
    ●  Insurance and loans – Insurance and loan repayments plus interest. Includes any equipment that is rented out that is paid periodically over time.
    ●  Depreciation – If you buy equipment, such as office computers, this is a capital item that must be depreciated over a specified length of time.
    ●  Payroll – For paid employees. Include pension, and benefits but exclude commission that is directly related to sales or production levels.
    ●  Premises – Costs associated with the premises on a monthly or yearly basis, including the mortgage, interest, rent, and any other associated service costs.

    It is important to create a spreadsheet that itemizes each of these expenses. When it comes to each of your company’s fixed costs, you should make an effort to estimate how much money those costs will amount to on both a monthly and a yearly basis for the company’s fiscal year. It’s part of learning how to calculate the breakeven point.

    Variable Costs

    Variable costs are the expenses that have to be paid to keep a business going. These costs change with the volume of business, so they’re considered “variable.” If you’re a coffee shop, for example, your variable costs are the coffee beans, coffee cups, and other ingredients you need to make your coffee drinks. 

    Examples of variable costs are:

    ●  Production supplies – Such as oil, are consumed based on the amount of machinery usage. Therefore, these costs vary with volume.
    ●  Wages – Includes commission-based salaries tied to the sales or manufacturing of items and the money paid to contractors.
    ●  Materials – The cost of the raw materials used to manufacture or create your product, such as the costs of presentation materials if running a consultancy.
    ●  Delivery – Delivery costs are the costs associated with getting a product from the manufacturer or supplier to the customer.
    ●  Marketing –Money spent on client acquisition. Depending on how effective your marketing is, increased expenses should result in increased sales.

    It’s not always easy to figure out variable costs, especially as your company grows and expands. As you grow, expand, and need more stock, you may receive a percentage off for buying in bulk.

    Factor in these key variables when working out the breakeven point and you’ll exactly where your company is at, and the areas where you need to work harder to ensure consistent profits and lasting success.

  • Zoom switches from a video calling, meeting app to a UCaaS platform; bolsters business

    Zoom switches from a video calling, meeting app to a UCaaS platform; bolsters business

    Mumbai:  Zoom, a collaboration platform, set up its office in India back in 2019. Due to Covid and the popularity of video conferencing, the company experienced rapid expansion. The company is trying to switch from a video, meeting calling software to unified communications as a service (UCaaS) platform as businesses return to the office, either fully or partially. As more individuals return to the workforce and the amount of WFH (work from home) increasingly decreases, it seeks to redefine and reimagine the workplace.

    Zoom general manager and head of India & SAARC region Sameer Raje stated during a media briefing at a Zoom Rooms Experience Day that the Zoom India team has significantly expanded since beginning operations in India in 2019.

    He stated that India is a significant market both within the Asia Pacific region and globally, but avoided discussing business objectives. “India forms a large part of our business. The idea was to provide video first collaboration for companies when it first launched back in 2011 abroad. It became the go-to choice for enterprises. Now Zoom aims to be a complete UCaaS platform in the country. Our aim is to move beyond being just a meeting app to offering a suite of services. These components have been built onto the platform. We had tremendous growth during the pandemic but that was video meeting growth. Now we are seeing growth from a collaboration platform aspect. People install Zoom and rework their workplace. The growth in India continues but in a different format.”

    Raje continued the brief by noting that one of the components of Zoom moving towards being a UCaaS platform is Zoom Phone and the company is working with Indian regulators to bring it to the country. “We have Zoom Meetings and Zoom Webinar. We recently acquired Solvvy, a conversational AI Zoom that has also introduced its own conversational and AI platform.”

    The company, which had earlier launched Zoom Contact Centre, is counting on the solvvy acquisition to help them redefine the contact centre category with unified communications. The goal is to accelerate its contact centre roadmap to create a concierge-level experience for customers.

    He explains that Zoom also launched a service that allows clients to analyse their meetings. The final component in the move to being a UCaaS platform is Zoom Rooms. It can be used to elevate the customer experience across industries from education to BFSI. “People are thinking of changing the office environment. People do not want to do the same thing in the office that they do at home.”

    He mentions features like Workspace Reservation, Virtual Receptionist, Smart Gallery and Zoom Whiteboard and their aim is to empower happy and connected teams to stay productive. “We are reimagining, redesigning the workplace. Integration into the workplace is key. We are bringing in a whole lot of services, features and functionality. You can interact with a remote receptionist or reserve your workplace for instance. With Zoom Rooms Kiosk mode, team members can engage face to face with a virtual receptionist anywhere an in-person receptionist could be – office, hotel, lobby, or other location. Organisations can brand the display and customise the message to match the environment and purpose.”

    Remote meeting attendees may find it difficult to see people clearly when other meeting participants are in a Zoom Room. To address this issue, Zoom Rooms Smart Gallery displays multiple video feeds from a single conference room. This allows the Zoom Room cameras to focus more closely on groups of participants and display these people more clearly to remote attendees. Effective collaboration between remote attendees and Zoom Room participants can be enhanced by the face-to-face meeting experience.

    Speaking on the challenges, Raje added, “The good part is that Zoom was built for handling areas that have low bandwidth. It also works with old devices. Also if you have built a service or a function for one purpose Indians will use it for 10 other purposes that you have not thought of. It is mind-boggling. Someone did a video shoot on Zoom. It was a photo shoot. We work through these unique challenges. One roadblock in India is language. India has so much geographical diversity it is difficult to cater to. We have just introduced live translation into international languages. Now a part of my job is to convince executives in Zoom to facilitate the same for Indian languages. Whether this will happen or not time will tell. ”

    On the security and privacy front, he said that people who work from home often have children. Those children are their own chief information security officers. If children are on a mobile device one never knows what kind of content pops up. Now Zoom being a collaboration platform operates in a closed environment. So education is important be it for children or the end-user. “If it is an enterprise or an organisation they need to watch their back. So Zoom educates users through programmes that run on a regular basis. Zoom creates awareness programmes in conjunction with non-profits and governments. Then Zoom ensures that certain functions are pushed like enforcing password protection.”

    Zoom also fixes bugs in the system by inviting ethical hackers to find issues. For that, a bounty is paid. This is a Bug Bounty Programme and it runs globally including in India. One challenge is that security parameters differ depending on the industry. So what works for banking will not work for FMCG for instance. He said that Zoom is the only collaboration platform to offer 256bit GCM encryption. “This is state of the art, the best encryption that you can get. This move is a part of our aim to stay ahead.”

    When he was asked about the marketing plan of Zoom, he noted that it does online marketing. Then it has a partner ecosystem. It works with Savex and they have multiple partners who take Zoom to their customers. Tata Teleservices is another distribution partner of Zoom. Last year Zoom And Tata Teleservices had announced a tie-up to offer a communications solution to enterprises and individual customers. Then there is a direct sales team that interacts with customers.
