Considering leaving your job to start a business? Karnataka will provide Rs 25,000 per month, says Priyank Kharge

The Karnataka government is offering a one-year subsidy of Rs 25,000 per month to those who have quit their jobs to follow their entrepreneurial dreams.

At the Startup Conclave in Bengaluru on August 9, Karnataka IT-BT Minister Priyank Kharge announced, “We are about to launch a unique entrepreneurship program, potentially the first of its kind in the country. If someone leaves their job to become an entrepreneur, we will provide a stipend of Rs 25,000 per month for a year. While this amount may seem modest given the high inflation, it will at least cover domestic expenses.

Kharge referred to the Karnataka government’s Elevate program as “the most-loved scheme for startups.” in order to emphasize its achievements.

“Startups registered with the Karnataka government that have participated in and won the Elevate program will find the Karnataka government as their initial customer,” said Kharge.

Karnataka Chief Minister Siddaramaiah launched the Rajiv Gandhi Entrepreneurship Programme (RGEP) in the budget for 2024–2025 for aspiring young inventors and entrepreneurs. The IT-BT department claims that young entrepreneurs with a background in science or engineering are the target audience for RGEP. For a duration of 12 months, they would earn a monthly stipend of Rs 25,000 in addition to mentorship from K-tech innovation hubs.

According to Kharge, a lot of business owners from other states have also registered their companies in Karnataka in order to participate in this encouraging ecosystem. “Bengaluru did not emerge as the fourth-largest technological center in the world by accident. We changed throughout time, going from being mainly a center for back office functions and IT-enabled services to becoming a pioneer in R&D. This development has spurred important discoveries and technologies. Karnataka leads the state in service exports and is ranked first in the Innovation Index, according to Kharge.

The minister announced plans to develop sector-specific corridors for startups, including an AI corridor linking San Francisco with Bengaluru. “We have also launched the Global Innovation Alliance with 32 countries, creating dedicated corridors for startups registered with the Karnataka government to facilitate their market access internationally. For example, Bengaluru-based startups have already established operations in Germany, Australia, and Belgium. No other state government is taking such risks for startups. We are actively pursuing this, and, more importantly, we offer substantial opportunities,” said Kharge.Read More-https://24x7newsroom.com/

Psicodramma Quirinale, comunque vada sarà un disastro di Francesco Cancellato E dire che sembrava averci abituato a tutto, questa folle diciottesima legislatura della Repubblica Italiana: alleanze impossibili, impeachment al Presidente della Repubblica annunciati in diretta su Facebook, premier spuntati dal nulla, ministri dell’interno che chiedono pieni poteri dalle piazze, movimenti anti élite e anti europeisti che sostengono il governo del tecnocrate europeista per eccellenza. Il tutto, nel contesto di una pandemia globale e in uno stato di perenne emergenza, che tuttora perdura e che miete centinaia di vite al giorno, con buona pace di chi ci racconta da mesi che ormai ne siamo fuori. Insomma, con questi precedenti aspettarsi qualcosa di normale sarebbe stato quantomeno ingenuo. Ma in questo stato, ci saremmo comunque aspettati qualcosa di simile a una presa di coscienza collettiva della classe politica di evitare spettacoli indecorosi nella scelta del successore di Sergio Mattarella. Sono passati due giorni e due votazioni, e abbiamo già perso qualunque barlume di speranza. Al contrario, sembra che tutte le parti in commedia abbiano scelto il conclave quirinalizio per mettere in mostra una specie di medley di tutto il peggio di questi anni grotteschi: forzature istituzionali, faide personali, clamorosi voltafaccia, tatticismi esasperati. Il tutto, lo diciamo serenamente, a cominciare dal Presidente del Consiglio in carica Mario Draghi. Che ha aperto le danze nella conferenza stampa di fine anno, autocandidandosi al Colle e minacciando nemmeno troppo velatamente che non sarebbe stato disponibile a guidare ancora il governo se non fosse stato eletto da tutta la maggioranza che sostiene il governo. Per quanto Draghi abbia più volte detto, o fatto intendere, che non fosse quello il senso delle sue parole, così è stato inteso da tutti i partiti che lo sostenevano, e il risultato lo abbiamo sotto gli occhi in questo preciso istante: nessuno di loro, forse ad eccezione del segretario del Partito Democratico Enrico Letta e di quella parte di Cinque Stelle fedele a Luigi Di Maio, vuole Draghi al Colle. Ma siccome al peggio non c’è limite, il Presidente del Consiglio – evidentemente persuaso dall’enorme consenso popolare che i sondaggi gli attribuiscono, del favore che gode presso i nostri alleati europei e atlantici e apparentemente inconsapevole dell’irritualità di un capo del governo che diventa capo dello Stato senza passare dal via – ha rotto gli indugi e si è messo a trattare personalmente con i leader di partito, in spregio a ogni prassi istituzionale. Di fatto – proviamo a scriverla più neutra possibile – Il Presidente del consiglio Mario Draghi ha provato ad accordarsi coi partiti che lo sostengono sulla composizione del governo guidato dal successore del Presidente del Consiglio Mario Draghi che sarà nominato dal Presidente della Repubblica Mario Draghi, che sarà eletto solamente se riesce a mettere d’accordo i partiti sul suo successore e sulla divisione dei ministri del governo che gli succederà. Di fronte a una simile forzatura, quasi quasi si capisce la ritrosia dei partiti, o quantomeno se ne comprendono gli appetiti, visto che manca un anno alle elezioni e ciascuno di loro vuole portarsi a casa qualcosa che permetta loro di guadagnare consensi. Così, non bastasse il fastidio per l’iniziativa irrituale del Presidente del Consiglio, ci si mette pure la tattica: più mi metto di traverso, più è alto il prezzo per convincermi a votare Draghi. Il fatto che Draghi, oggi come oggi, rischi davvero di non finire al Colle dipende dalla sua indisponibilità ad ascoltare le richieste dei partiti, anche perché dovesse acconsentire a ciascuna di esse di governi ce ne vorrebbero due. Tutto questo si intreccia ai piccoli grandi regolamenti di conti interni in seno a ciascun partito. Nel Pd che apparentemente è compatto su Draghi, c’è chi spera non venga eletto per chiedere la testa del segretario Enrico Letta. Nei Cinque Stelle si registra la guerra civile tra Luigi Di Maio e Giuseppe Conte, rispettivamente pro e contro Draghi, ognuno persuaso del fatto di avere più parlamentari dell’altro, entrambi pronti a usare l’elezione del Presidente della Repubblica per decidere chi comanda. Lo stesso nella Lega, dove Salvini non vuole Draghi, e gioca di sponda con l’arcinemico Conte per portare al colle la presidente del Senato Elisabetta Casellati per sfasciare l’alleanza Pd-Cinque Stelle che Conte stesse aveva concorso a costruire, mentre Giorgetti e i governatori del Nord sperano in Supermario e fanno asse con i dem. Poi c’è Matteo Renzi, che dice di volere Draghi e che ha passato gli ultimi dodici mesi a vantarsi di essere stato il kingmaker di Draghi a Palazzo Chigi che sta tuttavia lavorando per portare al Colle Pierferidinando Casini. E Berlusconi, che non vuole né Draghi, né Casini, lasciando i suoi nell’incertezza più totale. Rimane il gruppo misto, il più ampio di sempre, che non vuole Draghi, ma che pare sia favorevole a una ricandidatura di Sergio Mattarella, che tuttavia dovrebbe essere il principale sponsor di Draghi al Colle. Comunque vada, insomma, sarà un disastro. Se la maggioranza, alla fine, riuscirà a eleggere Draghi, lo farà con tutta la riluttanza del caso, aprendo le danze alla nascita di un governo di fine legislatura, che – semmai nascerà – si annuncia debolissimo. Se non ce la farà, e prevarranno Casini o Casellati, rischieranno di ritrovarsi sul tavolo le dimissioni di Draghi prima che riescano ad aprire il primo scatolone, con un rischio molto concreto di elezioni anticipate nel pieno dell’ondata di Omicron. Rimane l’ultima carta, il piano zeta, la rielezione a furor di camere di Sergio Mattarella, che salverebbe tutti come già salvò tutti Napolitano nel 2013, dopo la bocciatura di Franco Marini e i 101 traditori che impallinarono Prodi. E quasi quasi, viste le alternative, verrebbe da augurarsi che vada davvero a finire così. Scusaci tanto, Sergio.

The conclave witnessed participation from key influencers and leading figures across the pharmaceutical industry, and hosted domestic and foreign drug makers, contract service providers, and pharma machinery players under one roof, providing them with a chance to craft future growth plans together.

Indian pharmaceutical market’s expansion

India's pharmaceutical market is in the midst of a growth spurt, having increased in value from $21bn in 2016 to $29bn in 2020 – a figure that is expected to reach $41bn by 2024. Key industry drivers include a rise in disease prevalence, economic growth and higher disposable incomes, improvements in the healthcare infrastructure, and growth in the number of people covered by health insurance. In a bid to stay afloat during the need to step up the demand towards high quality, low-cost pharma solutions, CPhI & P-MEC India has curated a gateway to network with industry peers for the latest trends and innovative solutions that the market has to offer.

Alongside the expo, and under the aegis of the India Pharma Week, an exclusive and strategic closed door CEO Roundtable meeting took place, inviting the top leaders of India's pharmaceutical companies. The 'CEO Roundtable' was conducted on 24 November in partnership with Informa Intelligence, whose perspectives and key discussion points will also yield a white paper report.

The pharma industry is anticipated to have a steady growth trajectory and the event organized by CPhI India has focused on the key driving factors for the same. The expansion of medicine manufacturing pertaining to the evolving epidemiological profile of the country will be instrumental for India being the preferred drug manufacturing destination on a global scale. Additionally, the event aims to encourage the development of the research-based pharma fraternity.

Exhibitors at CPhI - P-MEC India 2021

Concluding the CPhI – P-MEC India show, Poornachandra Tejasvi, senior director, Emerging Markets, India, at Informa Pharma Intelligence, said, "We, at Informa Pharma Intelligence, were delighted to witness the overwhelming response at CPhI & P-MEC India 2021 event and we're glad that we could partner with CPhI to host this common platform for the pharmaceutical industry. With challenges and opportunities evolving at a global scale, through this event we looked to discuss the possibilities for not only providing solutions to the healthcare needs of the country but also to the world.

“With India's strength in the global generics market, Indian pharma and biotech companies are now gearing up to transition into R&D and innovation to establish themselves as key players to develop biosimilars, novel chemical entities, novel biological entities, and innovative therapies for the global and Indian pharmaceutical markets, for which Informa Pharma Intelligence is closely partnering to aid in this effort. The event provided a great opportunity to reconnect with our stakeholders of the pharmaceutical world and offer data intelligence and analysis on par with the recent industry trends."

Yogesh Mudras, managing director, Informa Markets in India, said, "The Indian pharmaceutical market is growing exponentially, around twice the world market growth rate. While its generics market is growing strong, it is also evolving into a cradle for new drugs. Therefore, with India being one of the strongest emerging markets in the global pharma industry, it presents great opportunities for all international pharmaceutical companies to explore; we are glad that the platform by CPhI & P-MEC India could enrich the exhibitors with new pharma solutions and help businesses find the right partners, with the hybrid expo showcasing the full drug development supply-chain from exporting, outsourcing, manufacturing, machinery, regulations, pricing, and market access to, packaging, labeling, and digitalization. We look forward to hosting CPhI P-MEC in the coming years again."

United Payments Interface (UPI) is India’s own real-time mobile payments system developed by the National Payments Corporation of India (NCPI) in 2016. By 2019, the UPI system crossed 1 billion transactions and over 100 million users, merely three years after its launch. It has recently been launched in UAE making its global foray. This could be the big breakout moment for Indian fintech solutions to gain a global leadership position. Are we working towards the vision? 

Currently, Automotive, Electronics System Design & Manufacturing, Renewable Energy, Roads & Highways, Pharmaceuticals, and Food Processing have been identified as the 6 Superstar Sectors Boosting the “Make in India” Mission. It is one of the golden opportunities, helping to put India on the globe of becoming the design-led electronics manufacturing hub and attract investments and create high skill jobs in the country.

Automotive firms are taking up the opportunity to power up India as a hub for low-cost, high-quality manufacturing capabilities. The Automotive Mission Plan 2026 seeks to establish the automotive industry as the driving force behind the Make in India initiative.

Ambitious start-ups are pioneering EV manufacturing for the world markets.

The renewable energy potential in India is immense and mostly unexplored. India has vowed to meet a minimum of 40% of its energy requirements from renewable sources by 2030.  This includes an ambitious project to build 100 GW of solar energy capacity by 2022. With energy security being a major concern and driver, many a start-up and large corporates have ventured into the green energy space.

This ecosystem creates numerous opportunities for niche skills in India. Innovation and entrepreneurship are developing emphasis areas that are being aggressively encouraged in order to give the Indian economy a boost. Bridging the talent gap 

India has transformed itself into a nation of opportunities, and we have a young demographic advantage, a large pool of talent and skills that will assist India in taking advantage of the global opportunity. Skills in the field of Data Science, AI/ML, Robotics, Automation, R&D, Hardware, 5G and more, are in high demand and India is home for young and dynamic skilled individuals.

But driving India's vision necessitates proper human capital. India needs a pool of highly qualified professionals who can lead the high-tech evolution and keep India on the cutting edge of technology. And in the world of cutting-edge technology, experience is everything.

India's vision for talent must be as ambitious as the country's goal. If the organization's objective is to be a global game changer, India must look out for game-changing talent. The highly seasoned and competent NRI Techies with experience and exposure to cutting-edge technologies would be the most ideal in this hunt for talent. To tap into this large pool of human resources would be India’s best bet for obtaining the perfect people to match the country’s ambition. Conclusion With India now having the world's third-largest start-up ecosystem pushing breakthroughs across industries, the country has unbeatable potential to become the world's next Technology & Manufacturing hub. If India is to be regarded as the worldwide center for tomorrow's technologies, it is only logical that the top global talent will find a home here. With the right talent, the industry can work to achieve India’s vision of ‘making for the world’ a resounding success.

‘Changing warfare makes partnerships key’

BENGALURU: Defence minister Rajnath Singh and Chief of Air Staff RKS Bhadauria on Wednesday underlined the need for enhanced partnerships between friendly nations as India kicked off the chiefs of air staff (CAS) conclave aimed at enhancing effective utilisation of aerospace power, specifically in the Indo-Pacific region. “Conclaves like these provide an excellent opportunity to address security and challenges and provide mutual benefits amid changing threat matrix and changing nature of warfare,” Bhadauria said, adding that with the advent of new technologies the understanding of national boundaries have shifted beyond classical definitions. Singh said India’s indigenous defence and aerospace sector has many success stories like LCA, ALH, AeW&CS, radars, missile systems, among others. “It is essential for india to achieve self-reliance… IAF has commissioned a major indigenisation drive for sustenance of all maintenance of aircraft. This will boost the efforts,” Singh said while reiterating the various reforms the Centre has introduced in the last six years. He said the domestic defence manufacturing has now improved and that the trajectory can only be upwards. “Recent conflicts show how warfare is changing. India is building capabilities to handle this. Budgetary constraints limit our goals of building armed forces…Given this, we must have a robust mechanism to share technologies and best practices,” Singh said, adding that friendly countries must work together. Stating that the Indian aerospace sector will come of age and become a significant player globally, Bhadauria said India was central to peace, security and stability in the region. Calling for international cooperation, he said such cooperation can be created but it needs to be backed by credible and appropriate military power. Pointing out that attacks now originate without warning several time zones away, he said the exponential technological progress made has made access to technologies like drones easy for both state and non-state actors. Such technologies are lethal and agile, he added. “We (IAF) are focussing on developments on UAV/drone capabilities, communication, navigation and weapons delivery systems and technologies,” Bhadauria said. He added that in the changing scenario, space-based assets have become critical. “They are both force multipliers and targets,” he said. “In the digital game, software has become as key as hardware and adversaries are increasingly targetting this. The degree of anonymity and remote operations of such adversaries has created a need for new mechanisms,” he added. The air chief said that multi-domain situational awareness has become the need of the hour for decision makers and said that an integrated system of all friendly nations could go a long way in achieving this. IAF, he said, has a potent network-centric capability and that the force is also working with domestic industries to build multiple artificial intelligence (AI) based tools to enhance operational efficiency.
