In this episode Bill and Peter discuss the RHS Chelsea Flower Show. Bill has had personal experience of displaying hanging baskets at the show and shares his thoughts and memories of how much effort and work goes into putting the show together. In this show we discuss some of the gardens that caught our eyes from Tech Mahindra's Hedgerow in the Sky balcony exhibit that takes inspiration from British hedgerows and shows what can be done with a small space. We also both liked the Tokonoma Garden - a Japanese courtyard garden - full of beautiful plants, a water feature and pathway. It creates a peaceful space with beautiful colours where families can gather and spend time together.The Children's Society Garden is another garden that Bill likes. It is a restorative garden where hopefully todays children can find a positive space to contemplate in. Its planting is full of yellows and purples and greens which will help children feel safe, seen and supported. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

India is drafting a new urea investment policy to plug a major fertiliser supply gap and reduce costly import dependence. Meanwhile, the UAE's exit from OPEC could loosen global oil supply, lower prices and ease India's inflation pressures. As temperatures cross 40°C, e-commerce giants Amazon and Flipkart are expanding heat protections for delivery workers, though unions want stronger safeguards. In corporate India, firms including HCL Tech, Wipro and Tech Mahindra are tightening workplace safety and POSH measures after the TCS Nashik harassment case.

Every influencer is drooling over Claude Code skills files. Every product team is chasing the next model release. But for two years, the data has been screaming the same thing: capability isn't the bottleneck. Context is. This edition unpacks what that actually means — why structured business knowledge is the highest-leverage investment a product team can make, what the “context wars” look like from the inside, and why the teams winning aren't the ones with the best models. They're the ones whose AI actually understands their business.What You'll Learn in This EditionThis edition confronts the structural reason most AI products fail — they're missing the context that makes capability useful.* Why Juan Sequeda from ServiceNow says “hope is not a strategy” — and what to build instead of better prompts* The three-layer knowledge framework that gives AI a shared language across your entire organization* CNBC's “silent failure at scale” investigation reveals why 91% of AI models degrade without anyone noticing* Microsoft just adopted ontology — the same concept Juan has championed for 20 years — as the foundation of its agentic AI architecture* Citadel Securities data shows software engineer job postings rising 11% YoY despite the displacement narrativeEpisode 3: Context Is the New Moat — Why Your AI Needs Business Knowledge, Not Better PromptsEvery influencer is drooling over skills files and prompt templates. Juan Sequeda, Principal Scientist at data.world (acquired by ServiceNow), has spent 20 years proving that none of it works without structured business knowledge underneath. In this episode, Juan breaks down the three-layer framework — business metadata, technical metadata, and the mapping layer that creates real semantics — and explains why the teams investing in ontology today will compound value across every AI use case they build next. His blunt assessment of skills files as a production strategy: “Hope is an interesting strategy. It's not one that I add to my strategy.”“If you just edit in skills, I don't think that's gonna be the solution to your problem. You'll have a great POC. It'll work for the use cases you tested on. Are you willing to put your career on the line and put that in production?” — Juan SequedaListen on Spotify | Apple Podcasts | YouTubeContext isn't a nice-to-have. It's the architecture layer that determines whether your AI product delivers consistent, measurable value or drifts into silent failure. PH1 built this framework to illustrate what Juan Sequeda has been researching for two decades: intent, background, examples, and templates aren't prompt engineering tricks — they're the structural foundation that transforms an AI system from a “forever intern” into a strategic partner. Without them, you're hoping the model figures out what “order” means in your business. Hope, as Juan puts it, is not a strategy.RAG Was the Answer. Now It's a Symptom of the Real Problem.RAG dominated for two years as the default way to give LLMs context. But as context windows expanded from 8K to a million tokens, the question shifted. This video breaks down when RAG still matters — vast, dynamic datasets and cost efficiency — and when long context windows make the retrieval layer unnecessary. The strategic implication for product teams: RAG was always a workaround for a deeper problem. The real question was never “how do I retrieve the right document?” It was “does my system actually understand my business?” That's the context layer Juan Sequeda is building — and it sits beneath RAG, long context, and every other implementation detail.In spite of the displacement signals, software engineer job postings are up 11% year over year. But read the fine print: a posting titled “Software Engineer” increasingly means “engineer who can operate LLMs in production” or “build RAG pipelines.” The title stayed the same — the job changed. If your team hasn't redefined what “engineering” means in the context of AI-augmented workflows, you're hiring for yesterday's role.Product Impact ResourcesThe pattern across these resources is consistent: the teams pulling ahead are the ones investing in context, knowledge, and governance infrastructure — not chasing the next model release. Capability is table stakes. The moat is how deeply your product understands the business it serves.* Gartner predicts 80% of enterprises pursuing AI will use knowledge graphs by 2026 to enhance context and reasoning. The shift from “better prompts” to “structured knowledge” is no longer theoretical. The Role of Knowledge Graphs in Building Agentic AI Systems* Microsoft adopted ontology as the foundation of its agentic AI architecture — Fabric IQ, Foundry IQ, and Work IQ create a semantic layer that gives agents shared business understanding. Microsoft Adopts Ontology-Based IQ Layer for Agentic AI* Nathan Lasnoski argues that enterprise knowledge graphs are the foundation for moving from vibe coding to scalable agentic development — without semantic grounding, agents can't reason across systems. Building an Enterprise Knowledge Graph for the SDLC* HBR analysis reveals AI adoption stalls because of employee anxiety about relevance and identity — not technical limitations. The behavioral barriers are harder than the technical ones. Why AI Adoption Stalls, According to Industry Data* WEF data shows organizations with strong governance and >5% IT budget allocated to AI see 70-75% positive outcomes vs. 50-55% without. Governance is infrastructure, not a bottleneck. Strong AI Governance Is a Business Advantage, Not a Bottleneck* Deloitte's agentic AI strategy report calls for governance and observability as first-class product features — agentic systems should expose provenance, tool-call traces, and policy decisions by default. Agentic AI Strategy* Teresa Torres warns that AI without product discovery just means “shipping the wrong stuff faster.” The line lands directly on this edition's thesis — capability without context is an accelerant of bad decisions, not good ones. Strong potential guest. Shipping the Wrong Stuff Faster * Roger Wong unpacks Jenny Wen's (Anthropic Head of Design) “ship fast, iterate publicly, build trust through speed” approach as a new design paradigm for AI products. Jenny Wen is a compelling guest lead given her role building Claude's product experience. The Design Process Is Dead * Meta's alignment director had an OpenClaw agent start rapidly deleting her inbox — she thought it would confirm first. It didn't. She ran to a Mac mini “like I was defusing a bomb.” Stuart Winter-Tear's breakdown is a vivid, concrete case study of agentic AI failure in practice. Human in the Loop Is a Job * Academic paper in Communications Psychology (Nature) argues that friction in AI design is a feature, not a bug — challenging the default “make it seamless” paradigm. Co-authors from U of T, Wharton, and Yale. Emily Zohar is a strong potential guest with a contrarian take that plays well on the podcast. Against Frictionless AI Product Impact NewsThe news this edition reinforces a single uncomfortable truth: the biggest AI failures aren't technical — they're contextual. Systems that lack business knowledge don't crash dramatically. They drift silently, producing outputs that look right but are wrong in ways no telemetry catches.* CNBC investigated “silent failure at scale” — a beverage manufacturer's AI ordered thousands of excess cans because it couldn't contextualize new holiday labels. 91% of ML models degrade over time, and most enterprises never detect it. ‘Silent Failure at Scale': The AI Risk That Can Tip the Business World Into Disorder* Agentic AI's dominant failure mode isn't catastrophic breakdown — it's silent drift. CIO reports that only 6% of organizations have fully deployed agents, and the Cloud Security Alliance now classifies cognitive degradation as systemic risk. Agentic AI Systems Don't Fail Suddenly — They Drift Over Time* Gartner predicts 40% of agentic AI projects will be scrapped by 2027. 90% of legacy agents fail within weeks. The primary driver is governance, not technology. Why 40% of Agentic AI Projects Will Fail* Internal Microsoft data shows only 30% of Copilot enterprise licenses see weekly active usage after 6 months — despite unmatched distribution through Office. Workflow friction and unclear ROI are the barriers. Microsoft Copilot Adoption Stalls at 30% Active Usage* Virtana surveyed 350+ senior IT leaders this month: 75% of enterprises report double-digit AI job failure rates, a third exceed 25%. Meanwhile, 59% of executives think they're prepared — but 62% of practitioners report fragmented systems and visibility gaps. The disconnect is the risk. 75% of Enterprises Report Double-Digit AI Failure Rates* Citadel Securities rebuts the AI displacement narrative with data: software engineer postings up 11% YoY. But job postings requiring AI literacy grew 70% YoY — the title stayed the same, the job changed. Software Engineer Job Postings Are ‘Rapidly Rising'* Tech Mahindra and Microsoft launched an ontology-driven agentic AI platform for telecoms — the first major enterprise deployment built on Microsoft's Fabric IQ semantic layer. The context wars are real. Tech Mahindra and Microsoft Launch Ontology-Driven Agentic AI PlatformKey takeawaysThe throughline is unmistakable: the AI products failing at scale aren't missing capability — they're missing context. From CNBC's investigation into silent failures to Microsoft betting its entire agentic architecture on ontology, the market is converging on what Juan Sequeda has been saying for 20 years: structured business knowledge is the highest-leverage investment you can make.* Context is infrastructure, not a feature. Skills files and prompt templates are band-aids. The teams compounding value across AI use cases are the ones that defined “what does order mean?” before they shipped anything. If your AI can't disambiguate your business terminology, it can't deliver consistent results.* Governance accelerates adoption. The WEF data is clear: organizations with strong AI governance see 20 percentage points higher positive outcomes. Governance isn't the thing slowing you down — the absence of it is why 40% of agentic projects get scrapped.* The job didn't disappear — it transformed. Software engineer postings are up 11%, but the role now requires AI literacy. The same is true for product managers, designers, and strategists. The question isn't whether AI will replace you. It's whether you'll invest in the context that makes AI actually useful.Check Out Recent EpisodesEpisode 2: Defensibility > Capability — Five Actions to Defend Your Product Value $73.6 billion went into GenAI startups in 2025, but 85% of AI startups will be out of business within three years. This episode tackles the economics of abundance and delivers five specific actions to redirect investment toward what actually survives: workflow depth, outcome visibility, and trust engineering. If you're competing on features, you're already exposed.Episode 1: Why Your AI Metrics Are Lying to You The bullseye framework for AI products — Power, Speed, Impact, and Joy. Most teams are measuring Power and calling it success. This episode introduces a three-layer evaluation approach and shows why completion metrics hide the signals that actually matter for growth.AI Strategy Jobs* Staff Product Designer, AI Workflows — ServiceNow (Remote/Hybrid)* AI Product Manager — ServiceNow (Remote)* Product Designer, ChatGPT — OpenAI (San Francisco)* Product Designer, Platform & Tools — OpenAI (San Francisco)* AI Product Manager, Strategic Roadmap — IDC (Remote)* Principal Product Manager, AI Personalization — Cedar (New York)* Senior Product Designer, Generative AI — Coda (Remote)* Product Designer, AI Agents — Simular (Palo Alto)* Director, Product Design, AI Transformation — Element AI (Santa Clara, CA — On-site, 65% travel)* Product Designer — Fidelity (Merrimack, NH / Jersey City, NJ / Westlake, TX — Hybrid)If your AI product demos well but can't prove it drives value in production, that's a context problem — and it's the gap PH1 closes. We help teams build the measurement and knowledge infrastructure that turns AI capability into measurable business impact. From defining what success means to proving it with data. ph1.caThank you for supporting the Product Impact PodcastEvery episode goes deeper than the headlines to uncover what actually drives AI product success — and what's quietly killing it.

Last week, nearly ₹2 lakh crore vanished from Indian IT stocks in just four days. A big reason was Anthropic's new product, Claude Cowork. Suddenly investors were confronted with an unsettling reality: what if the work Indian IT has long depended on is now the easiest to automate?For almost 20 years, India's IT giants have been unstoppable compounding machines. They built empires worth hundreds of billions of dollars by doing one thing very well: renting out smart people by the hour to write code and run technology for Western clients. But when code starts to write itself, what happens to these companies?Conversations about IT services usually lump all these firms together, as if they are the same business with different logos. In this episode, we break them apart. We ask a simple but uncomfortable question: in an AI-first world, who thrives and who gets left behind? We take five of the biggest IT services firms in India's orbit—TCS, Infosys, Wipro, HCL Tech and Cognizant—and rank them on who is best placed right now for what's coming next. Spoiler: the answer is not what the last 20 years of market-cap tables would suggest.To do this, we brought in two people who have lived this industry from the inside.Krishnakumar Natarajan co-founded Mindtree in 1999 and built it into a multi-billion dollar global IT services firm. He later chaired NASSCOM and now runs Mela Ventures, where he backs early-stage deep tech and enterprise startups.Vivek Kant spent over two decades in IT services across Tech Mahindra and Cognizant, then moved to the other side of the table as CTO at Bajaj Markets and as an advisor at Boston Consulting Group. He still codes 3-4 hours a day using AI. You can check out his blogs here.The board is set. The King, the Rook, the Knight, and the Bishop. The question is: who makes the first move?_________This episode of Two by Two was produced by Uddantika Kashyap and mixed and mastered by Rajiv CN, our resident sound engineer. If you liked this episode, share it with your friends and colleagues.

Welcome to Top of the Morning by Mint.. I'm Nelson John and here are today's top stories. 1. TCS Cuts Jobs to “Realign the Future” India's largest IT firm, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), is laying off 12,261 employees—roughly 2% of its global workforce—in FY26. The move, largely targeting mid-to-senior management, is part of TCS's shift toward becoming a “Future-Ready”, AI-driven organisation. Despite a fresh 5,000 hires in Q1, the company's attrition ticked up to 13.8%, prompting tighter policies on bench strength and billing mandates. CFO Samir Seksaria's earlier assurance of wage hikes is now shadowed by cost cuts. CEO K. Krithivasan remains cautious, citing macro headwinds and a low likelihood of double-digit growth. TCS joins Microsoft and other tech majors who are navigating the AI disruption with painful workforce realignments. 2. Trump's EU Tariff Countdown Just days before an August 1 tariff deadline, Donald Trump is pushing hard for a new US-EU trade deal, demanding “fairness” on cars and agriculture. Meeting European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen in Scotland, Trump said there's a “good chance” of a breakthrough, while von der Leyen pegged the odds at 50-50. If talks collapse, EU exports could face up to 30% tariffs on top of existing duties. With $1.9 trillion in annual trade on the line, this is a critical test for transatlantic ties—and a volatile moment for global markets. 3. Rudra & Bhairav: India's New Strike Force In a bold military reorganisation, the Indian Army has launched ‘Rudra' all-arms brigades and ‘Bhairav' light commando battalions to enhance border readiness against China and Pakistan. Unveiled on Kargil Vijay Diwas, these new formations blend infantry, tanks, artillery, UAVs, and special forces into agile, tech-powered units. Army Chief General Upendra Dwivedi said this realignment—without adding new troops—will “multiply operational capabilities manifold.” Over 250 brigades will be converted into all-arms formations, marking a major pivot toward future-ready warfare. 4. Coforge Rises to #7 in Indian IT Coforge, formerly NIIT Technologies, has overtaken Mphasis to become India's seventh-largest IT services provider. Clocking $442 million in revenue for the June quarter, Coforge is riding high on a $1.56 billion deal with Sabre and its acquisition of Cigniti Technologies. With operating margins flat at 13.1% and negative free cash flow, challenges remain—but analysts expect Coforge to hit a $2 billion run-rate by June 2026, potentially cracking the top 6 alongside Tech Mahindra and LTIMindtree. CEO Sudhir Singh is confident: “H2 should also be robust.” The mid-cap IT race is heating up, even as the top four remain unchanged. 5. UK Faces Vote on Palestinian Statehood Following France's bold UN pledge to recognise Palestine, Britain is now under pressure to act. The Scottish National Party (SNP) has vowed to introduce a Palestine Recognition Bill when Parliament resumes in September. Leader Stephen Flynn says if PM Keir Starmer stalls, the SNP will force a full parliamentary vote. Over 220 MPs, including many from Labour, back recognition, citing the escalating crisis in Gaza. While Starmer, Italy, and Germany prefer a peace-first approach, critics warn that waiting might mean never acting at all. With 142 nations already recognising Palestine, the UK's next move will be closely watched. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Some episodes are personal.This one is family.I had the privilege of sitting down with two people who've shaped the way I think, live, and lead: Dr. Pravin Bhagwat (Founder of 14 Trees Foundation) and my father, Kiran Deshpande (Former CEO, Tech Mahindra. Founder, Mojo Networks. Board Member, 14Trees Foundation) two entrepreneurial men I've had the privilege of learning from since I was a child.They built a company together. Exited it with grace. And then, Pravin uncle did something most people wouldn't, he walked away from the tech world to plant trees and build forests. Literally.He started the 14 Trees Foundation, a community-led movement that's quietly restoring India's green cover and here's why he did it:While reading a 6th-grade textbook on photosynthesis with his daughter, Pravin Uncle had an eye-opening realization: that the carbon we emit can be neutralized simply by planting trees. In fact, it takes exactly 14 trees to neutralize the carbon footprint of one person over a lifetime.This simple, measurable, and relatable insight inspired him to act. It clicked with me instantly, and it's become the core of what 14 Trees stands for, bringing nature back, one tree at a time.And his conversation isn't about funding rounds or exits.It's about friendship, purpose, legacy, and trees, making the world better:Some things you'll take away from this episode:How my dad and Pravin uncle met, and the values they shared while building Mojo Networks.Why they left it all to work with their hands in the soil.What reforestation looks like and how you and I can help.Why building quietly can still leave a loud legacy.If you've ever asked yourself, “What comes after success?” this episode might offer a few answers.And here's a way you can be part of it:If this conversation resonates with you, share the video on any social media platform along with your own takeaway (no generic reposts or AI summaries), and send it to me via DM or email shantanu@bombayshavingcompany.com and CC deepti@bombayshavingcompany.com.I'll personally plant one tree in your name at 14 Trees.And if you go a step further and plant one yourself, maybe for a parent, mentor, pet, or friend, I'll plant two more trees for you.That's three trees. One simple act. No deadline.Let's grow something together.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of January 29 -After showing weakness from Friday's highs, the Nifty50 witnessed a sharp sell-off on Monday, closing at a 7-month low. The index managed to hold levels above 22,800 but ended the day 263 points lower at 22,829, with 42 out of 50 stocks closing in the red. -Most heavyweights saw a closing in the red while ICICI Bank ended higher after Q3 earnings. FMCG stocks like HUL and Britannia were among the top Nifty gainers, both rising over 1%. On the other hand, the IT index fell 3%, dragged down by global cues. HCL Tech, Tech Mahindra, and Wipro were the top Nifty losers. -Going ahead, market sentiment remains on the edge as investors brace for Wednesday's Federal Reserve rate decision and accompanying policy guidance. This unease is further fueled by mixed earnings reports, geopolitical tensions, and the impending Union Budget, all of which have contributed to the prevailing uncertainty. -Stocks to watch: Coal India, Tata Steel, Indraprastha Gas, Kaynes Technology India, Piramal Enterprises -Earnings: Bajaj Auto, Hindustan Zinc, Hyundai Motor India, Bharat Heavy Electricals, Cipla, JSW Energy, Suzlon, ideaForge Technology, and TVS Motor Company -Additionally, global developments weighed heavily on Indian markets. The recent launch of DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, and former U.S. President Trump's abrupt tariff announcement on Colombia have created fresh headwinds. DeepSeek's emergence as the No. 1 free app on the iOS App Store has intensified concerns, as it positions itself as a free alternative to ChatGPT, which has signaled its intention to shift toward a for-profit model. -Global cues: Most Asian shares dropped following a bruising session on Wall Street caused by fears the valuation of artificial-intelligence companies had become excessive. The MSCI Asia Pacific Index slipped as much as 0.6% with Japan's largest technology firms leading declines. That was after the S&P 500 and Nasdaq 100 both tumbled Monday as a cheap AI model from Chinese startup DeepSeek fueled concern valuations may be hard to justify. Many Asian markets, including China and South Korea, are shut Tuesday for the start of the Lunar New Year holidays. -In commodities, oil steadied — after sinking by nearly 2% on Monday. Brent crude traded near $77 a barrel, while West Texas Intermediate was above $73. -This morning, GIFT Nifty was trading at a premium of nearly 100 points vs Nifty Futures' Monday's close, indicating a gap-up start for the Indian market.

Welcome to CNBC-TV18's Marketbuzz Podcast. Here are top news developments from around the world ahead of the trading session of January 17 -Today's market moves will be determined by the Street's reaction to Reliance and Infosys Q3 earnings. -In the previous session, Nifty's winning streak extended into a third consecutive session, though uncertainty persists as the index continues to trade within a limited range. Despite some selling pressure at higher levels after the gap-up opening, the Nifty 50 managed to close above the critical 23,300 resistance level. -Today, market attention will shift to earnings reports from Tech Mahindra, Wipro, and SBI Life. Another key factor will be the market's reaction to Reliance Industries' results. The company delivered a strong quarter, with EBITDA rising 12% quarter-on-quarter versus estimates of 8%, driven by its O2C and Retail segments, while the Telecom and Oil & Gas businesses performed in line with expectations. Additionally, Infosys, Axis Bank, LTIMindtree, and Havells, which released their earnings after market hours on Thursday, will influence Friday's trading sentiment. -According to Nagaraj Shetti of HDFC Securities, the short-term trend of Nifty is positive but the market is lacking its strength to witness sharp upside breakouts of the hurdle. -This morning the GIFT Nifty was lower, trading at a discount of more than 50 points from Nifty Futures Thursday close, indicating a start in the red for the Indian market. -Asian stocks dropped as traders prepared for a swath of Chinese data scheduled Friday including fourth-quarter growth. -Shares in Japan fell as the yen largely held onto gains from earlier in the week, while those in Australia fluctuated. The downward start in Asia comes as a global risk rally this week, fueled by traders re-adjusting Federal Reserve interest rate cut bets following Wednesday's benign inflation data, loses steam. The focus will now shift to official Chinese data due Friday that is likely to show the world's second-largest economy failed to break a deflationary cycle last year. -In the overnight session, benchmark indices on Wall Street took a pause after a three-day rally owing to pressure in shares of big tech. The Dow Jones and S&P 500 fell 0.2% each, but the Nasdaq underperformed, declining 0.9% due to pressure in shares of Apple, Tesla, Nvidia and Alphabet, all of which fell between 1% to 4%. Apple had its worst day since August last year. -In commodities, oil edged higher after a 1.7% drop on Thursday, retreating from a five-month high as the market adjusts to new sanctions on Russian crude and digested mixed signals from President-elect Donald Trump on his intent to uphold the measures. Crude is on track to gain for a fourth week in a row. Gold is set for a third straight week of advances. Tune in to the Marketbuzz Podcast for more

In an era where cybersecurity threats are becoming more sophisticated, the claim of integrated security solutions offering superior protection is under scrutiny. Tech Mahindra and Microsoft, as partners, assert that their strategy to unify critical security domains—data protection, threat management, identity management, and compliance—into a single operational framework significantly enhances security, operational efficiency, and cost-effectiveness. So, what proof do they offer to justify that their proposed integrated cybersecurity toolset wins over specialized, best-of-breed, standalone solutions? Do the potential benefits of consolidating cybersecurity platforms truly outweigh the associated inherent risks? Does this unified model deliver on its promises of improved enterprise agility and reduced complexity?

Here are top news from around the world ahead of the trading session of October 21 -The market recorded its third consecutive weekly loss, marking the longest losing streak of 2024, despite a surge on Friday that helped reduce the decline. A recovery in banking majors during the final session helped pare some losses, with both the Nifty and Sensex closing above 24,860 and 81,220, respectively. -Sector performance was mixed, with banking, financials, and realty posting decent gains, while auto, metals, and FMCG sectors were the top losers. The broader indices reflected a similar trend, as the midcap index lost nearly a percent while smallcap closed slightly positive. -Today, in the absence of any major triggers, market participants will focus on upcoming earnings for direction.

US futures rose after the S&P 500 notched up a sixth straight weekly increase, its longest winning streak this year following a slew of corporate results and signs the world's largest economy remains robust. -On Friday, US stocks closed their latest winning week with more records. The S&P 500 rose 0.4% to squeak past the all-time high it had set early this week. The Dow Jones Industrial Average added 0.1%, to its own record set the day before, and the Nasdaq composite gained 0.6%. Netflix helped drive the market with a leap of 11.1% after the streaming giant reported stronger profit for the latest quarter than analysts expected. That was despite a slowdown in subscriber growth. -In US earnings this week, Tesla Inc. faces questions on its production targets and regulatory challenges after the unveiling of its much-hyped Cybercab failed to enthuse investors and quell concerns over its recent vehicle sales. -Now, despite the ongoing positivity in the US markets, the Indian markets have been largely unresponsive, a divergence likely to persist due to continued foreign fund outflows. Ajit Mishra of Religare Broking says that any change in the fund flow pattern would also be on the participants' radar. -This morning, the GIFT Nifty was trading flat versus Nifty Futures' Friday's close, indicating a muted-to-negative start for the Indian market.

In this episode of The 5G Factor, our series that focuses on all things 5G, the IoT, and the 5G ecosystem as a whole, we look at the top cloud and telco takeaways from conversations and sessions at Mobile World Congress 2024. The major takeaways consist of Red Hat and Tech Mahindra boosting their hybrid cloud collaboration, Red Hat and NTT working with Fujitsu and NVIDIA to ready IOWN environments for real-time edge AI data analytics, Indonesia's Telkomsel selecting Google Cloud to integrate GenAI for augmenting its operations and product offerings, VMware focusing on assuring the DISH Wireless Open RAN build in the US, and TELUS using HPE servers to complete its Open RAN mission in Canada.  Our analytical review focused on: Red Hat and Tech Mahindra Uplift Hybrid Cloud Capabilities. Red Hat and Tech Mahindra announced a collaboration aimed at making it easier for telecommunication service providers to accelerate and manage 5G adoption and deployments across the hybrid cloud. Tech Mahindra's Multi-mode Companion Cloud with Red Hat OpenShift running on AWS can support multiple network use cases, spanning RAN, edge computing, transport and 5G core, to extend capabilities across hybrid cloud environments with integrated automation and orchestration capabilities. We delve into why Red Hat OpenShift provides the infrastructure and application layer key to supporting operations at scale across any cloud environment, with Tech Mahindra's netOps.ai offering a unified view to manage infrastructure and automate applications with low touch provisioning. Plus, we look at how Red Hat Advanced Cluster Management for Kubernetes enables full cloud lifecycle management to automate Day 0 and Day 1 configurations and orchestrate workloads across Red Hat OpenShift clusters on-premises and on AWS. Red Hat and NTT Show IOWN Ready for Real-time Edge AI Data Analysis. As part of the Innovative Optical and Wireless Network (or IOWN) initiative, Red Hat and NTT in collaboration with NVIDIA and Fujitsu, have jointly developed a solution targeted at enhancing and extending the potential for real-time AI data analysis at the edge. Using technologies developed by the IOWN Global Forum and built on the foundation of Red Hat OpenShift this solution has received an IOWN Global Forum's Proof of Concept (PoC) recognition for its real world viability and use cases. The PoC evaluated a real-time AI analysis platform4 with Yokosuka City as the sensor installation base and Musashino City as the remote data center, both connected through the IOWN All-Photonics Network. We assess why this is a breakthrough for AI edge applications since even when many cameras were accommodated, the latency required to aggregate sensor data for AI analysis was reduced by 60% compared to conventional AI inference workloads.   Telkomsel Selects Google Cloud to Boost Operations and Products with GenAI. Telkomsel announced a strategic collaboration with Google Cloud to integrate enterprise-grade generative AI (gen AI) into its operations and core product offerings for consumers and businesses. This latest collaboration builds on Telkomsel's ongoing use of Google's AI-powered advertising tools, such as Performance Max, with the aim of transforming its employee and customer interactions, augmenting overall user satisfaction, and improving business outcomes. Moreover, Nokia is running AVA Data Suite on Google Cloud to facilitate AI/ML development. We examine why such moves are further validating the overall Google Cloud for Telecommunications proposition.   VMware Looks to Assure DISH Wireless Open RAN Build. At MWC24, VMware, recently acquired by Broadcom Inc, unveiled that DISH Wireless has deployed VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance across the Boost Wireless Network in a pilot production environment to deliver real-time network monitoring, assurance and automation, with the goal of providing a better 5G network and subscriber experience. We assess why the VMware Telco Cloud Service Assurance remote data collector service allows DISH Wireless the Network Operations Center (NOC) team to collect and analyze data from 20,000-plus cell sites. From our view, this is a critically important development for DISH Wireless to efficiently assure and scale its breakthrough Open RAN 5G network that is getting closer to offering more than 240 million Americans access to the latest in 5G connectivity technology and innovation. TELUS Enlists HPE Servers to Complete Open RAN Mission. During MWC24, HPE announced it is working with TELUS, which is building Canada's first 5G Open RAN, by providing infrastructure across 3,000 sites. Once completed, the new TELUS Open RAN 5G network can provide instantaneously responsive connectivity which can enhance the customer experience with faster connectivity and mobile access. We examine why HPE ProLiant DL110 Gen11 servers, designed specifically for telco workloads, are ready to provide an open and flexible, virtualized foundation to deliver next-generation cellular connectivity to urban and rural Canadians. The servers provide Open RAN infrastructure to assist TELUS with the interoperability it needs by providing the foundation for DU implementations, which are responsible for preparing data for transmission across the 5G network.

And how can people make sure that they're staying relevant and, and ready for the evolution of what's happening in the future here?Prashanth: That's such a great question only because AI seems to be the centerpiece of conversations for every single person on this planet today, who understands technology, or who connects with technology in some form or the other, right? And typically, whenever there are new technologies, there are always conversations at the beginning of the hype cycle where you think that technology is going to be a game changer, that technology is going to take away jobs, if you want to look at it from a different perspective, or that technology is going to change our lives so drastically that we've got all going to be in flying cars in two years. So, you know, AI has followed the same pattern in terms of human behavior and their analysis of a new technology that is being introduced, and they're getting to know this AI as a technology is not new, how we interact focus have been working on AI technologies for the last eight years. What has changed in the last, probably six months is that it has been democratized by the likes of tech GPT and others. There are also a couple of other technical improvements that have gone into AI models if you will, that have enabled this conversation that we are having, as well as other conversations that other people are having in either boardrooms or podcasts or just to friends on meeting across the table for coffee. It's changed the way people understand AI and look at AI as a practical solution. Because if you log into chat GPD and ask a question, you get an answer that is meaningful enough now that people understand that okay, this is a technology to reckon with, right? So, all right Just a baseline AI is a technology. That's where the conversations are. But primarily, the improvements in the models have resulted in enabling AI as a technology to solve meaningful problems for people or businesses. Asking a question and getting an answer is probably a relatively simple one. But what happens, especially if you take such generative models or transformer models than they do models or where your algorithms create new information or data for you? And when you take both of these algorithms or models, combine them and train them on large data sets, you get a really powerful computing and answering machine for you. And it's only up to the human imagination to figure out how to apply that technology. If your business and if you train those powerful models on a set of data that is within your sphere of business, then it becomes that much more efficient. They're called large language models, primarily because they are connecting information, words, data, and whole large space of the internet, if you will, or data spaces. So when you connect all that language, and words and meanings and everything else and
