India’s Hon. PM Shri Narendra Modi, GJEPC Chairman Vipul Shah in Rapaport's "People of the Year 2023” in global diamond industry

Among 2023’s most powerful/Influential people in the global diamond trade

National, 30th December 2023: The world’s most influential and most read diamond-focussed publication ‘Rapaport’ named Hon. Prime Minister of India Shri Narendra Modi among the movers and shakers of the global diamond industry in the year 2023. Other members including Vipul Shah, Chairman, The Gem & Jewellery Export Promotion Council (GJEPC); Gina Drosos, CEO, Signet Jewelers; Feriel Zerouki, president, World Diamond Council (WDC); Mokgweetsi Masisi, president, Botswana; Gabi Tolkowsky, Belgian diamond cutter;   were at the forefront hailed by Rapaport the most powerful/ influential people in the world to shape the future of the diamond industry.

 

Our “People of the Year” reflect the realities of 2023, said Rapaport in its foreword. Some of these individuals were directly involved in solving the industry’s acute problems — facilitating India’s freeze on rough imports, for example, or identifying ways to adapt retail strategy to the situation. As with the famous Time Person of the Year, inclusion in this list is not necessarily a recognition of an individual’s positive contribution, but rather of his or her influence on the diamond industry and/or presence in the headlines. We have chosen to spread the honors among several figures rather than picking a single person of the year,

Mr. Vipul Shah said, “India’s leadership and significance in the global diamond trade continues even in 2023. We are proud of the millions of workers connected to India’s gem & jewellery. We are proud and privileged that our Government with the Hon. Prime Minister support us to keep the sparkle intact.”

Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi had a number of contact points with the jewelry industry in 2023, says Rapaport. He inaugurated the Surat Diamond Bourse in December. He also raised a few eyebrows by referring to lab-grown diamonds as “green diamonds”, said Rapaport.

Rapaport lauded the efforts and initiatives undertaken by Shri Vipul Shah amidst headwinds faced by the indigenous industry. The GJEPC holds a monthly online forum with representatives of the industry to discuss trends and concerns, said Rapaport. In September of this year, with polished prices tumbling amid weak retail sales and an oversupply, the Indian trade body decided the situation warranted a broader, physical gathering. The attendees came to a unanimous conclusion: India needed a voluntary pause in rough-diamond imports to stop inventories from getting out of control. The industry implemented this freeze for two months, from October 15 to December 15, taking the pressure off the sector and enabling the market to stabilize.

Insiders at the GJEPC say it was an industry-wide call for an import moratorium and that the country has made similar moves in past crises. However, it was the GJEPC that brought people together and managed the process following the crunch meeting. Vipul Shah, its chairman, was at the forefront, said Rapaport.

Grihum Housing Finance Rating reaffirmed at 'CRISIL A1+ '; Bank Debt and Non Convertible Debentures assigned 'CRISIL AA- / Stable'

Company’s healthy capitalisation level, pan-India presence, and access to a diversified funding mix at lower funding costs are the key rating drivers

Pune and Mumbai, India, December 28, 2023: We are delighted to announce that Grihum Housing Finance Limited (formerly Poonawalla Housing Finance Ltd), has garnered notable ratings from CRISIL, India’s largest rating agency. 

Grihum’s short-term debt instruments have been rated ‘CRISIL A1+’, while its long-term debt instruments received a ‘CRISIL AA-/Stable’.

Grihum’s robust capitalisation level, fund-raising ability, pan-India presence with 195 branches across 19 states, access to a diversified funding mix at lower funding costs and stable leadership team were some of the key reasons for its solid rating.  It also factored in the expectation of support to Grihum, from TPG, a global private equity firm, both on an ongoing basis and in the event of exigency. After the acquisition, TPG has committed Rs 1000 crore of fresh capital to the company. The first tranche of Rs 538 crore was infused into Grihum in August’23. With strong capital buffers, exemplified by a total capital adequacy ratio of 46.35% as of September 30, 2023, the company is well-positioned to sustain its growth trajectory and safeguard against any deterioration in asset quality.

“The latest CRISIL ratings for Grihum establish it as a Company with one of the best credit ratings amongst PE backed Affordable Housing Finance organisations, validating the strength of our robust business model and efficient liability management. Grihum is deeply committed to providing housing finance, particularly to Self Made Individuals (SMIs) in India’s semi-urban regions. Over the last six years, we have achieved an impressive 4X growth, an Asset Under Management (AUM) of approximately Rs 7500 crores and a customer base exceeding 75,000. With the ongoing structural economic development and the rurbanization trend in India, we are strategically positioned to turn the aspirations of millions of first-time homebuyers into reality," said Mr. Manish Jaiswal, Managing Director & Chief Executive Officer of Grihum. 

The archetypical Grihum customer - a self-made individual (SMI) and micro-entrepreneur in the semi-urban parts of the country – usually seeks a loan of about Rs 10-12 lakhs for building a self-constructed standalone home of 600-800 sq ft area. Grihum is committed to working closely with these SMIs who need handholding and guidance owing to their limited experience and exposure. Hence, it has also moved to a 100 percent direct sourcing model, leading to improved asset quality as compared to assets sourced through DSAs (Direct Selling Agents). 

Grihum is highly focussed on becoming future-ready. With an eye on becoming a leading affordable housing fintech, it has initiated a digital transformation and is replacing its generational multi-stack IT infrastructure with an agile, need-based, and flexible Low Code No Code (LCNC) platform with a modular IT stack. This massive tech overhaul will substantially contribute to elevating customer experiences and building scale.

Education Leadership Summit 2024- a leadership summit for Indian educators and school leaders.

The summit is focused exclusively on improving quality of education in India and it is designed to cater to the specific needs of Indian school leaders

To be held in Mumbai and Delhi, the summit is open to all schools across the country

 

 

Mumbai, 27th December 2023: Michigan-based University of Michigan-Marsal Family School of Education in association with Globestar Consulting Services presents University of Michigan-Marsal Globestar Education Leadership Summit 2024, a leadership summit for Indian educators and school leaders. To be held in Mumbai and Delhi from January 28th to February 3rd, the summit will be spearheaded by experienced faculty members from the prestigious Marsal Family School of Education at the University of Michigan and Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning.

 

Conducted across 3 days each in Mumbai and Delhi, the summit will feature workshops, school visit, case studies and panel discussions and culminate with Education Diligence Awards (EDA) to honor and celebrate excellence in education. Dean Jonathan Massey from the Taubman School of Architecture and Urban Planning at the University of Michigan will be concluding the 3rd Day at each location with insights on education leadership, alongside Dean Elizabeth Moje.

 

India has about 280 Million school going children and about 9 Million teachers to cater to them. A report by UNESCO titled “2021 State of the Education Report for India” indicates that India has a shortage of 1 Million teachers. Furthermore, India’s pupil-teacher ratios remain low when compared to other countries. This acute shortage of teaching staff has a direct impact on the quality of education. Additionally, most of the schools today do not have a trial tested international framework that can be localised to have a collective teaching practice that is engaging and meaningful for the 21st century. University of Michigan-Marsal Globestar Education Leadership Summit has been conceptualized to address the above mentioned gaps in the Indian education system. The summit aims to involve 120 school leaders across the country to engage in a collaborative teaching and learning process and empower them with knowledge to positively impact schools and classrooms. On Day 3 of the summit, the concluding sessions are open to 150 educators at each location to ensure broader reach and engagement.

 

The summit, primarily aimed at school owners, directors, heads of schools, principals and aspiring educators, will cover topics such as curriculum development, disciplinary literacy and AI, innovative instructional approach, best practices in school administration and technology integration. It offers a great opportunity for stakeholders in the education sector to get in-depth insights into creating a vision for their educational institutions. For directors and heads of schools, it serves as an avenue to acquire valuable knowledge to ensure consistent progress, avoid stagnation of their skillset and to bridge the gap between their educational objectives and financial sustainability. In addition, for aspiring principals, it will aid in enhancing their skills and help in formulating effective strategies for school management.

 

Commenting on the event, Elizabeth Birr Moje, Dean, Marsal Family School Of Education, said, “Our mission at Marsal Family School of Education is to enhance the quality of education by carefully identifying and addressing some of the gaps that exist in the current education system. We are thrilled to bring forth our expertise and engage with educators to positively impact the education landscape in India. The summit offers a great opportunity for school leaders to connect, collaborate, and engage in a transformative learning experience”

 

Dhaval Mehta, CEO and Founder, Globestar Edutech Pvt Ltd and TNI Career Counselling, said, “ Globestar was founded with an aim to assist educational institutions, both schools and universities, to enhance the quality of education they offer and improve the overall student experience and career prospects. Over the last several years, we have created a meaningful difference in the education industry through our services and events. The UM-Marsal Globestar Education Leadership Summit 2024 is yet another step in that direction. We are excited to partner with Marsal Family School Of Education to host a first-of-its-kind education summit in India. I would like to invite schools across India to join us for the event as we explore best practices and innovative approaches to transform education in India. Schools can also nominate themselves for the Education Diligence Awards (EDA) designed to recognize and celebrate excellence in education.

 

To kick off the summit, a preview took place on December 20th, 2023 to offer an overview of the event. During the session, participants had the opportunity to understand the outcomes and advantages of attending the summit. The introductory session had an active engagement of over 15 schools which included names such as BD Somani International School, DPS Mathura Road, Heritage School Vasant Kunj, Bharati Vidyapeeth School of Excellence Pune, Canadian International School and several others.

Mumbai, December 26, 2023: The Mahalaxmi Saras 2023-24, a celebration of India's rich cultural heritage, opened its doors on December 26th at MMRDA Ground, Bandra Kurla Complex (BKC) in Mumbai. The National Bank for Agriculture and Rural Development (NABARD) is supporting many artisans across the country to market their merchandise at the event.

Shri Girish Mahajan, Minister of Rural Development & Panchayat Raj of Maharashtra, inaugurated the much-awaited event in the presence of distinguished guests, including Representatives of MSRLM, Shri Ruchesh Jaivanshi, CEO, MSRLM, Shri Parmeshwar Raut,COO, MSRLM, and Shri Raymond D’Souza, CGM, NABARD. 

Organised annually since 2006 by the Ministry of Rural Development, Government of India, and the Department of Rural Development, Government of Maharashtra, in collaboration with the UMED-Maharashtra State Rural Livelihood Mission (MSRLM), the Mahalakshmi Saras Mela serves as a vital platform for Self Help Groups (SHGs), craftspeople, artisans, farmers, and other stakeholders to showcase their products and connect with urban consumers.

“Mahalaxmi Saras Mela exemplifies our commitment to empowering rural artisans. We are proud to be associated with an event that not only provides a marketplace for artisans but also fosters a deeper understanding of India's rich cultural heritage. Through initiatives like these, we aim to bridge the gap between rural artisans and urban consumers, creating sustainable livelihoods and preserving our diverse traditions," said Shri Shaji K.V., Chairman, NABARD.

“Each NABARD supported stall tells a story of our artisans and their efforts in producing beautiful handlooms and handicrafts. NABARD shall continue to provide pathbreaking interventions for rural artisans and farmers and provision of 49 stalls to them in SARAS mela is one such example. The participants in SARAS would inspire many other rural inhabitants to come forward and market their products in urban areas.” said Shri Raymond D’Souza, CGM, NABARD. 

This year's event boasts over 500 stalls featuring a diverse array of products from across India. Notably, NABARD has contributed to the mela's unique offerings, supporting 49 stalls of artisans from across the country. These stalls are showcasing products like Assamese Gamocha, Pochampally sarees, Banarasi sarees, Tangliya products, etc. The apex agriculture bank will be helping approximately 100 rural artisans from Self Help Groups (SHGs), Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs), and Off-Farm Producer Organisations (OFPOs) to exhibit their products. The NABARD-assisted artisan group will be exhibiting 13 Geographical Indication (GI) certified products.

Recognising the need to protect dying arts and crafts in rural areas, NABARD has been at the forefront, supporting rural artisans, weavers, farmers, and craftsmen by providing financial assistance, skilling, market linkages, and infrastructure facilities.

Highlighting the importance of GI-tagged products, NABARD ensures that only creative and innovative products make it to the mela, enriching urban consumers on the diversity and uniqueness of these offerings.

Many rural artisans lack access to urban markets; the SARAS Mela provides crucial exposure. The platform enables artisans to understand urban market preferences, fostering adaptability. Artisans can negotiate better prices and explore opportunities for bulk/corporate orders. NABARD's association provides a unique platform for rural artisans to increase income, build brands, and gain recognition among urban consumers. 

The exhibition will conclude on January 7th, 2024. Attendees can visit the stalls between 10 am – 10 pm on all days till then.

Airtel Business enters into strategic partnership with IntelliSmart for powering up to 20 million smart meters

• To offer end-to-end IoT solution for smart metering including Head end system, Cloud and Analytics 

India, December 21, 2023: Bharti Airtel (“Airtel”), one of India’s leading telecommunications service providers, today, announced that it has formed a strategic partnership to power up to 20 million smart meters with IntelliSmart Infrastructure Private Limited, a leading smart metering and digital solutions provider. This partnership also marks Airtel’s foray into high end applications such as Advance metering infrastructure along with Cloud and Analytics. This is the largest such deal in the smart metering space in the country. It will significantly contribute towards Airtel’s fast-growing IoT deployment across sectors.

 

Airtel’s IoT proposition includes its proprietary platform the “Airtel IoT Hub” which will help the utility track and monitor these smart meters with advanced analytics while maintaining extremely high reliability augmented with telco grade security. Housed on Airtel’s own cloud network, the IoT hub will allow enterprise users the capability to connect and manage billions of devices and applications in a highly secure and seamless fashion.

 

Ganesh Lakshminarayanan – CEO, Airtel Business (India) said about the venture, “We have further strengthened our market leadership as the largest IoT enabler in the country. IoT is one of the fastest-growing business segments for Airtel Business and, with this deal, we are now strategically positioned to play a pivotal role in driving the Govt. of India’s vision of digitising 250 million conventional meters to smart meters. As we connect the devices across the country on our platform, we will exponentially grow our current IoT market share of 55.4% (as on Q1 FY23-24).”

 

Anil Rawal – MD & CEO, Intellismart Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. had this to say, “India’s smart metering programme is one of the significant steps taken by the government to modernise the power distribution sector. Smart meters are critical building blocks for smart grids and a fundamental enabler of the digitalisation efforts of the power system. As we set forward to implement one of India’s largest portfolios of smart meters, we are relying on some of the most able and potent partners in the sector for various solution elements to support the successful deployment of our Advanced Metering Infrastructure (AMI) solutions. We are confident that the on-boarding of Airtel as a strategic partner will be a significant step towards our goal of creating strong associations to strengthen our infrastructure solution with a resilient and secure cloud-hosted cellular communication network.”

 

The Government of India has the ambitious vision of replacing 250 million conventional meters with Smart Meters in the next five years as part of the AMI initiative.
