18-year-old launch-es India’s first print newspaper Aggre-gator - Paperboy

Ipswitch Announces Distributor Partnership with RAH Infotech in India

DIGISOL rolls out “Bangkok Calling” scheme for Connect Partners

GST business is growing, expecting Rs. 50 crore revenue in the next three years

Bangalore based Jonna Venkata Karthik Raja the 18 year old Founder of Paperboy is ecstatic as his 15 months of toil has finally come to fruition. Paperboy is a mobile app that features the widest range of Indian news-papers and magazines that is uploaded on real time on to its platform. Paperboy

is a language agnostic platform and will hence feature vernacular publications which is a crucial part of Indian news consumption habits. Paper-boy aims to appeal to the global readership base of newspapers and envisions to becoming the ultimate platform to browse, buy and read each one’s local news on the go.Paperboy currently lists over 400 newspapers and magazines nationally and is live on the Google Playstore. Karthik Raja conceptualised this idea as he was finishing school, when he found that he was missing his daily routine newspaper when-ever he was travelling. It wasn’t too late before his entrepreneurial instincts kicked in and he went about developing a blue print for the platform. He then went about enlisting the support of his parents who were very encouraging and support-ive of his venture. Originally launched with just two team members, Paperboy has now grown into a team of 50 young, energetic and enterpris-ing individuals. With their primary focus on Tier 2 and 3 cities, which represents almost 31.16 % of India’s population, Paperboy has already aggre-gated the widest variety of regional newspapers on their platform.Adds young Jonna Venkata Karthik Raja – Founder, Paperboy “I conceptualised Paperboy as I found a distinctive correlation between newspaper read-ing and digital devices. When I found that I was missing my everyday newspaper while travel-ling, it prompted me to find a solution for this, albeit digitally. Research and discussions with my friends led me to developing the online platform that can present news each day on a screen of your choice. In the long run I am hoping to take this solution to other markets oversees as the platform can easily be scaled to accommodate any language.”With a clean and simple interface, the app con-tains no pop up ads or interferences, and lets one access their news both in online and offline mode; thus, making it easy to for people to read their favourite newspapers at their convenience. Inspired by the increased adoption of digital content all over the world, Paperboy now brings the daily newspaper tailored to your device, be it Android, iOS or the web. It provides the same experience of reading one’s favourite newspaper but on a screen which is the in-vogue format of choice today.

10 Crores of government funding for women entrepreneuars

A stellar gathering of women entrepreneurs added a diverse viewpoint into the conversa-tion at the Second Day of India’s first compre-hensive entrepreneurship platform Elevate 100, at the Lalit Ashok in Bangalore on Wednesday, August 30, 2017. ‘Women Entrepreneur Sum-mit’ explored ways to manage the tricky waters of privilege while pushing for adoption of tech-nology in the communities who stand most to benefit from it. Delivering the key note, Ms. Shanti Mohan of Lets Venture said: “It is heart-ening to note that 20% of the startups founded by women are funded. There are no more glass ceilings, women just need to break the glass walls that we have built around ourselves. We need to stop being apologetic about our successes and learn to be comfortable wielding power. And most importantly, we need to pay it forward and empower other women”. A panel comprising Uma Reddy from Hitech Mag-netics & Electronics, Radhika from Incitecam, Ran-jana from Raybaby, Rashi Menda of Zapyle and Vidhya T Vinay of Streamingo discussed Internet of Things (IoT) and how women are using it to create the next technological revolution. “IoT will be a $12-billion space by 2030. If the data obtained by all the smart devices around us is utilised optimally, this will be huge. We need to

dream big to make this space ours,” said Radhika. Uma Reddy emphasised that women have a nat-ural advantage since every great idea is powered by passion, perseverance, compassion and prob-lem-solving skills to go the distance. The ‘Women Entrepreneur Summit’ was followed by a discussion titled ‘Scale & Surge: Secrets to Growing Your Startup’ by Rashmi Daga of Fresh Menu, Rupa Rani from COWE and Devaki Yoganand of WEKAS. Nivruti Rai, General man-ager- Intel India & VP of the Platform Engineer-ing group, IntelCorp, enthralled the audience in a fireside chat with Shaili Chopra. “Organisa-tions need to create environments of psycho-logical safety. The perception that women do not take risks and aren’t mathematical needs to change. Build and leverage your network and create wonders for the world,” She said. “Intel has earmarked $14 million for women-owned/ women-related businesses this year and hope to increase it to $20million by 2020,”she added to the cheers of the crowd. “India is leading the dig-ital revolution, with 95% of the population having a digital identity. Intel is focusing on technolo-gies such as Autonomous driving & 5G to drive technology and keep up with rest of the world.” She added. Shantala Bhat of Gamatics & Sheelika Ravishankar of Team Indus shared their views about building a balanced tech industry. “Women have a stronger ability to deal with ambiguities and risk. They should fight social conditioning to fight and rise.” said Sheelika Ravishankar. Shaili Chopra of Shethepeople.tv anchored a discussion with Ratna Prabha, Additional Chief Secretary to the Government of Karnataka. Besides sharing her vast experience, she requested the media to support SMEs and women entrepreneurs.

Automation of IT operations brings great opportunities to refocus staff on higher value activities and respond to changing business demands, as it frees up time currently spent on routine admin tasks – this is now widely recognized according to a recent survey1 of IT leaders commissioned by Fujitsu and published today. While the majority of organizations agree they will need to automate IT to deal with increasing pressures and deliver value to the business, many admit they still have a long way to go, the survey finds.Pressure is growing fast on IT infrastructure and operational processes, with no signs of this abating any time soon. More than three quarters of respondents to the survey – car-ried out for Fujitsu by research firm Freeform Dynamics – say pressure is increasing ‘rapidly’ or ‘steadily’. As a result, some IT departments are having trouble coping: one in seven IT lead-ers (14 percent) state that their departments are ‘bad’ or ‘very bad’ at supporting new or changing business needs, while nearly one in ten struggle with controlling IT-related risks.For many IT departments, keeping up with the pace of change and driving improvements is hard due to high routine workloads, with many spending more time on infrastructure or platform admin and management than on investigation and forward-planning activities. A third (32 percent) of respondents agree that in an ideal world, their operations staff would spend less or much less time on admin tasks. Instead, over half (56 percent) would prefer to spend more time on forward-planning, and 50 percent on coordination and collaboration with others, with a view to improving IT infrastruc-tures and processes.Operational challenges are driven by a range of different factors. The complexity of tools (68 percent), infrastructure and platforms (76 per-cent) is the biggest hindrance to operations, but many IT departments also suffer from a skills shortage (61 percent) and a heavy reliance on manual processes and custom scripting (61 percent). All these factors mean that IT teams experience major bandwidth problems when it comes to key tasks: one in five (21 percent) say that troubleshooting problems is a major issue for them, while a similar number struggle with deploying new applications and services (19 percent) and implementing upgrades and reconfigurations (18 percent).

Hitachi Accelerates Customers’ Hybrid Cloud Initiatives With Enhanced Hitachi Unified Compute Platform Offerings

Hybrid cloud deployment could result in cost savings between 5% and 30% for an

enterprise, says Microsoft – Zinnov Report

Hitachi Data Systems (HDS), and VMware Global Innovation OEM Partner of the Year, announced Hitachi Unified Compute Platform (UCP) RS series, a fully integrated, software-defined data center (SDDC) rack-scale platform, powered by VMware Cloud Foundation™. Hitachi UCP RS enables customers to embrace hybrid cloud for faster time to market and pay-as-you-go econom-ics.

A Microsoft-Zinnov study has revealed that the Hybrid Cloud market in India is fast becoming a new standard for delivery of digital trans-formation. With the substantial cost as well as organizational benefits, Indian enterprises are increasingly intensifying their reliance on a hybrid cloud setup.The report observed that hybrid cloud deploy-ment at a steady rate could result in cost sav-ings of anywhere between 5% and 30% for an enterprise (depending on the growth of virtual machines in an enterprise’s data centre and a proportion of workloads moving from private data centre to public cloud infrastructure), based on the output of its proprietary cost

As per the modeller, the hybrid cloud solution offered by Microsoft Azure is the most economical.As per the survey conducted as part of this study, over 40 percent of enterprises have planned or are planning to build a hybrid cloud infrastructure or transform their existing IT infrastructure. The primary reasons cited for adopting hybrid cloud solutions include, lower-ing total cost of ownership (54 percent), facili-tating innovation (42 percent), enhancing oper-ational efficiencies (42 percent), and enabling companies to respond to and meet customer expectations more readily (40 percent).Highlighting the need for hybrid cloud, Meetul

Patel, General Manager, Marketing & Oper-ations, Microsoft said, “Many organizations have existing investments in IT infrastructure and business-specific needs to keep parts of it on their own premises. At the same time, the cloud presents an incredible opportunity to improve RoI, develop innovative solutions, and respond rapidly to changing business demands. The hybrid model is a ‘best of all worlds’ option that allows customers to benefit from the cloud on their own terms”.According to Pari Natarajan, CEO, Zinnov, “Hybrid cloud is becoming the preferred deployment model across sectors. Industries where the impact of digital transformation is the highest are the ones that are adopting hybrid cloud at an accelerated pace. However, enterprises need to select a hybrid cloud pro-vider that can provide them with the right migration tools to enable seamless relocation of existing services - between dedicated pri-vate cloud and public cloud infrastructures - without lengthy or unplanned disruption to live service.”

Cloud28+ Community Launches Unified Cloud Catalogue for Asia Pacific and Japan

Cloud security tips to consider while using multiple data centres

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) announced the launch of its Cloud28+ initiative in Asia Pacific and Japan (APJ). Cloud28+ brings together a commu-nity of regional and global commercial and pub-lic sector organizations with the common goal to remove barriers to cloud adoption imposed by the fragmentation of the APJ market.The creation of a one-stop-shop for cloud services will help customers better address their right mix of hybrid IT requirements by choosing to work with the partners and cloud environments of their choice. Enterprises can easily identify and imple-ment the cloud services they need, while com-plying with local regulations. The site is currently available in English, Korean and Japanese.Beyond searching for cloud and professional searches along a whole host of criteria, custom-ers also gain access to a knowledge-based por-tal, where they can share and learn more about cloud-related topics. Customers can also part-

Perhaps the most consistent concerns raised by private and public sectors alike with respect to the Cloud are the risks it poses for security and privacy. However, its proponents believe that there are also gains to be had, even in security and privacy, from migrating to the cloud, which may offset the risks for some users. In both areas, the challenges posed by the Cloud arise out of the same characteristics that make it an attractive option for many organizations. The following are some of the concerns and the redressal methods that ensure security: Data EncryptionOne of the most fundamental problems faced by organizations who want to migrate to the Cloud is how to protect their data from theft and unau-thorized access in an environment in which it is frequently in transit. Data encryption is a method that can build stronger controls around data in a multi tenant environment that are stored on a physical drive and minimize the security con-cerns.Stronger PasswordsStronger passwords ensure that your data vulner-able to risks can be minimized. It is advisable to use unique usernames and passwords for authen-tication on multiple websites to be cautious and secured to risky transactions and unsafe contin-gencies.Intrusion detectionIntrusion detection ensures that the security is maintained intact through systematic tracing and examination of logs, firewalls and network traffic.Application delivery systemThrough precisely accurate application delivery system, the following measures can be taken into

ner with Service Providers in the community to resell their own digital offerings and form new go-to-market avenues.Since worldwide expansion of Cloud28+ ear-lier this year, 40 HPE partners across APJ quickly became members of the community. Cloud28+ provides partners with innovative ways to grow their visibility and revenue opportunities, while facilitating new business alliances and lowering their marketing costs.“Cloud is a critical component to ensuring a stron-ger digital economy in Asia Pacific and Japan,” says Joybrata Mukherjee, Director, Channel, SMB and Service Providers, Hewlett Packard Enterprise India. “Hosted and secured in Asia Pacific and Japan, Cloud28+ gives local and regional orga-nizations the opportunity to find the best mix of services by trusted HPE partners, while allowing partners to demonstrate their unique value add.”

consideration to prevent security risks.1. Proper Antivirus application to ensure the pri-vacy of data and its security2. Database Security with high end application protocols to mitigate security risks3. Web Filtering4. Anti-spam measures5. Web Security through gated channels and restricted external accessTransparent technologiesAs more services migrate to the network, record keeping and clear and consistent authentica-tion and access controls become of paramount importance. A cohesive system of record-keeping with regard to authentication, authorization and accounting helps in-house and providers track and respond to security incidents.Data backupForemost method of securing loss of data is by backing it up. Creating a data asset catalog, con-sidering all forms of data and privacy require-ments, securing availability, confidentiality and integrity procedures can secure from security breaches. Applying identity and access manage-ment procedures also ensure data security. Vulnerability scanning for cloud networksA cloud service provider must allow legitimate network traffic and block malicious network traffic, just as any other Internet-connected orga-nization does. Nevertheless, customers should expect certain external network perimeter safety measures like traffic screening, denial of service protection, logging and notification measures for safety, unauthorized access and modifications of data and proper equipment and infrastructure maintenance.

90 Percent of Organizations to Adopt VMware Production Envi-ronments in the Cloud by 2018Druva, the leader in cloud data protection and management, announced the results of its Druva 2017 VMware Cloud Migration Survey, centered on understanding how enterprises working in a VMware environment are approaching cloud migration. The survey results show a powerful trend toward moving virtual workloads to the cloud in favor of its lower cost, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) being the preferred destination for workload migrations. Disaster recovery, work-load mobility, and archival automation were all strong adoption drivers, with many organizations looking to save money and maximize IT initia-tives focused on simplifying their infrastructure. Key findings of the Druva 2017 VMware Cloud Migration Survey: There is a major shift in the VMware market to migrate data centers to the cloud. 90 percent of companies are aiming to migrate their workloads by 2018, with a clear preference for AWS (47 per-cent), followed by Microsoft Azure (25 percent). Data protection of virtual infrastructure is a key driver for cloud adoption. 82 percent of those surveyed cited disaster recovery as a crit-ical reason to move to the cloud. While initially the IT community was skeptical about the cloud’s robust security, these perceptions are changing as professionals understand how it reduces the possibility of costly downtime and promotes pro-ductivity. When disaster strikes: 81 percent believe DR for VMs is a core need. More than half of the respondents (54 percent) reported they wanted a single, central solution that would protect their data in either a multi-cloud or hybrid cloud envi-ronment. Regarding hybrid, 42 percent will have virtual infrastructure both on-premises and in the cloud. SaaS-based solutions to the rescue: Enterprises want a single control plane for data protection. 73 percent of organizations feel a single control plane, offered as a service, is the preferred way to address protecting this new environment. Many are questioning their long-term loyalty to the VMware hypervisor platform, in favor of cloud. 63 percent of respondents expressed that they are considering alternate hypervisors. This figure demonstrates that there is growing desire to natively build applications in the cloud instead of replicating VMware environments on public cloud platforms.

RETURN OF NANDAN NILEKANI

IN INFOSYS

Infosys, a global leader in consulting, technology, outsourcing and next-generation services, today announced that its Board of Directors has unani-mously approved the appointment of Mr. Nandan Nilekani as the Non Executive Chairman of the Board, effective immediately. Mr. Nilekani is an iconic leader, a successful entrepreneur and inves-tor, and someone who has played a pivotal role in India’s transition to a digital economy. Among his many achievements, Mr Nilekani led the imple-mentation of one of the world’s biggest technol-ogy initiatives, India’s Aadhar program, which has now enrolled over a billion Indians and which is transforming the lives of ordinary Indians every day. He is also one of the co-founders of Infosys and served as its CEO from 2002 to 2007.In welcoming Mr. Nilekani, the outgoing Chair-man Mr. R. Sesha sai, who stepped down from the Board today, stated, “Nandan is the ideal leader for Infosys at this stage in the Company’s develop-ment. His appointment will allow Infosys to focus on the strategic changes it needs to make in order to capitalize on the attractive opportunities in the years ahead. Under Nandan, Infosys will build a

cohesive management team that will no doubt take the Company to a leadership position in the industry. I believe these changes will infuse further confidence to the stakeholders in executing the transition plan and in reinforcing the strategy for the future. I am confident our employees and cus-tomers will join me in welcoming Nandan to the Company.”Also stepping down from the Board, effective immediately, are Dr. Vishal Sikka, Prof. Jeffrey Leh-man and Prof. John Etchemendy, each of whom welcomed the appointment of the new Chairman. Dr.Sikka said, “Last week I said that my remaining on the Infosys Board was to primarily enable a smooth transition. In Nandan, we have found an ideal leader to manage this transition.”I welcome Nandan’s appointment as Chairman to help guide Infosys to new frontiers of success and wish him, Pravin and all Infoscions the very best in the times ahead.”Prof. Lehman, who was scheduled to retire from the Board in April 2018, stated, “With Vishal’s departure, Infosys is entering into a stage in which the time demands on independent directors will be compounded even further. In light of the other demands on my time, I think it best if I accelerate my departure from the Board by a few months to allow a new independent director to start in this important role.”Prof.Etchemendy stated, “It has been a great honor and pleasure to serve the shareholders of Infosys for the past three years, and to have a front row seat during the transformative strategies that Vishal Sikka brought as the CEO. With Vishal’s departure, the board and his successor will embark on a new phase in Infosys’ future, and I think that giving up my board seat to a new independent director is the right decision.”The Board had, on August 18, 2017, appointed Dr.Sikka as the Executive Vice Chairman (EVC) to facilitate a smooth transition. This transition has been expedited with the appointment of Mr. Nilekani. Given that the EVC employment agree-ment with Dr.Sikka had not yet been executed, the Board, prior to the induction of Mr. Nilekani, decided that the Company will complete all res-ignation formalities as per Dr.Sikka’s employment contract as MD and CEO as executed on April 1,

2016 and approved by the shareholders. Accord-ingly Dr.Sikka will receive 90 days’ base pay in lieu of notice of US$ 246,575, a variable pay of US$ 205,572 and company-paid COBRA (employee ben-efits) for 90 days. All equity awards outstanding as on separation date to the extent such awards are unvested will terminate on the date of separation. All equity awards that vested during his employ-ment with the Company will remain as vested as per the terms of the equity plan and award agree-ment A separation agreement reflecting this and other terms such as a mutual release and non-dis-paragement obligation has been approved by the Board.Mr. Venkatesan, took this opportunity to thank Mr. Sesha sai, and stated, “It is a great privilege to have worked with a person of such stature and dignity as Sesh sai. It has been an honour for the entire Board to be captained by him. His strength of character and his unwavering commitment to the Company is deeply admired by all members who have served alongside him on this Board.” He further stated “Jeff and John have been invalu-able colleagues on the Board, providing guidance and ensuring continuity through the significant changes Infosys has seen during this period. I also thank Vishal for all his contributions including his commitment to facilitate a smooth transition.”Mr. Nilekani added, “I am happy to return to Info-sys, now in the role of non-executive chairman, and look forward to working with my colleagues on the Boardand in executive management on the business opportunities we see before us and deliv-ering benefits to our clients, shareholders, employ-ees and communities. I thank Vishal for his service as the CEO of Infosys over the last 3 years and wish him well in his future endeavors.” Mr. Nilekani also stated that the Board will actively consider a broad based shareholder consultation process as a criti-cal part of its overall engagement initiatives with all the stakeholders of the Company that are being taken up on a priority basis.Mr. U. B. Pravin Rao who will continue as Interim CEO and MD and, also was pleased to welcome Mr. Nilekani to Infosys. The Infosys Board will continue with its earlier stated plan to identify a permanent CEO and MD.
