Zurich [Switzerland]/ Imphal (Manipur) [India]: The DFINITY Foundation (DFINITY), a Swiss, not-for-profit research and development organization and a major contributor to the Internet Computer Blockchain (ICP), today announced that the Manipur Department of Education will deploy a unique educational product suite focused on verifying and storing educational certificates in a secure platform on the Internet Computer. The solution will ensure the certificate’s authenticity while making it accessible to the owners anywhere in the world at all times, removing the issues associated with lost certificates. This ICP-based solution will bring more credibility to certificates and empower students in their search for employment.

The product suite will leverage ICP technology, such as Internet Identity, to ensure all relevant information is accessible and tamperproof while no unnecessary personal information is available. The Horizon, a New Delhi web3 policy and adoption think tank, will support the implementation process with technology guidance from DFINITY.

Dominic Williams, Founder and Chief Scientist at the DFINITY Foundation, commented, “As a global leader in cutting-edge technology, India continues to innovate by integrating blockchain technology into its education system. The Internet Computer is a tamper-proof and fully decentralized public blockchain with no backdoors. These qualities make it a perfect solution for securely hosting important documents.

Organizations such as FederItaly have been using the Internet Computer as part of their proof of authenticity initiative for Italian-made products with great success. We’re looking forward to exploring more ways in which the Internet Computer can integrate into Indian services.”

This initiative leverages ICP’s unique advantages in security, immutability, and transparency to address critical challenges within Manipur’s education system. The solution will be tailor-made for the Department of Education to develop the state into a knowledge and skills hub within India.

Th. Basanta Singh, Minister of Education, added “Manipur has always been at the forefront of technology adoption with a young and tech savvy population.. Blockchain is a very important technology and I can see a lot of use cases for it in my department. I look forward to collaborating with ICP to bring student academic credentials to blockchain.”

Academic Credential Verification System (“ACVS”)

The ACVS aims to provide tamper-proof verification of all academic certificates issued by government institutions, ensuring authenticity and integrity. The ACVS will encourage trust among employers, educational institutions, and individuals while streamlining the verification process. The ACVS solution will leverage the Internet Identity.

Internet Identity is a privacy-preserving authentication solution developed by the DFINITY Foundation. Internet Identity allows users to authenticate their identity credentials without disclosing personal information using advanced cryptography.

This latest initiative strengthens ICP’s presence in the region alongside the ICP. India Hub, which has organized hundreds of hackathons and workshops in India. ICP is committed to fostering a collaborative ecosystem in Asia, as demonstrated by the launch of the ICP Asia Alliance and a $20 million grant available for the projects in the region.

Rajat Sethi, Founder, The Horizon “Manipur has taken a very promising leap in adopting futuristic blockchain technology. This is the first statewide initiative of adopting blockchain in the education sector. This will set an important example for the entire industry to work closely on government applications in blockchain

Manipur is one of the fastest-growing small states located in the Northeastern region of India. It has a promising young talent pool of technology enthusiasts and a strong developer base. Manipuri diaspora continues to contribute to the global technology ecosystem.

DFINITY Foundation:

The DFINITY Foundation is a not-for-profit organization of leading cryptographers, computer scientists, and experts in distributed computing. With a mission to shift cloud computing into a fully decentralized state, the Foundation leveraged its experience to create the Internet Computer and currently operates as a major contributor to the network.

Internet Computer:

The Internet Computer Protocol (ICP) is a decentralized cloud 3.0 protocol that allows developers to build and run services and enterprise systems directly on a public, blockchain network with unprecedented scalability. Services running on top of ICP are tamper-proof and can negatively interact with the outside world in a trustless manner, both with traditional web 2.0 services and with other blockchains. The fast, low-cost, and energy-efficient protocol establishes a new paradigm for how a decentralized network truly operates in web3.

In the heart of Anna Nagar slums, nestled amidst the challenges of crumbling shanties and a community striving against odds, stands the Valmiki temple. Within its walls, a transformation unfolds daily, orchestrated by Pehchaan The Street School, an NGO committed to nurturing the potential of underprivileged children.

The temple’s interiors radiate vibrancy with colorful drawings adorning the walls. It’s a beacon of hope, bustling with children of diverse ages ardently engaged in learning and honing their skills.

“Even amid lack of resources, the Valmiki temple remains a hub of joyous learning,” says Akash Tandon, reflecting on the children’s unwavering dedication to their weekend classes despite the city’s challenges.

Every child here has a success story. Take Krish, a school dropout turned budding artist. His sketchbook bursts with pencil drawings of beloved cartoon characters and notable personalities. “I was a dropout but now, because of Pehchaan, I wish to study again I have joined class IX through Open School this year,” shares the determined 14-year-old.

Pehchaan The Street School’s genesis traces back to 2015 when a group of compassionate individuals – Akash Tandon, Kanika Narula, Sam Pillai, Leejo Joy, and Monika Wamdev – formed the organization. Moved by the plight of children either begging on the streets or dropping out of school due to academic struggles, these friends embarked on a mission to provide guidance and support.

Initially faced with skepticism from residents, they began with ten children, aiming not only to educate but also to nurture each child’s potential. Akash shares, “Our objective was holistic – to enable these children to build a career out of their strengths.” As Pehchaan introduced diverse activities like dance, music, art, crafts, and yoga, the initiative gained momentum. Today, it engages over 800 volunteers from city colleges, impacting 1,500+ slum children across ten centers in Delhi.

“We focus on nurturing their passions alongside academics. Our informal setup fosters confidence and communication, leading to visible transformations in behavior,” Kanika Narula  remarks, highlighting the NGO’s approach.

Pehchaan The Street School operates solely on crowdfunding, advocating for donations in the form of stationery, school supplies, and time from volunteers. College students join as interns, dedicating three months to teaching at least 24 classes. For children, like Deepak from the inaugural batch now becoming the first boy in the family to attend 12th class board exams, these volunteers serve as mentors, guiding them towards academic success and promising rewards for excellence.

“In slums, exclusion is a shared experience. By showering attention, we aim to change mindsets,” Akash emphasizes, shedding light on the transformative impact of volunteers’ attention on these marginalized children.

Pehchaan The Street School remains committed to rewriting the narratives of disadvantage, one child at a time. Through collective efforts, they aspire to build a world where every child’s potential is nurtured, irrespective of their circumstances. They offer internship & volunteering opportunities to anyone who is willing in contributing time to help an underprivileged.

In an age where digital transformation is the new norm, businesses are rapidly evolving their marketing strategies to keep pace. However, this evolution brings with it a host of global challenges.

From the complexities of;

  • Stringent data protection laws
  • Crowded marketplace filled with similar outreach tactics

Above points are just tips of icebergs.

This article aims to delve deep into these challenges and unearth innovative solutions that will help businesses not only navigate these turbulent waters but also to thrive.

Vivek Sharma, the Marketing Director at Accropolix, plays a pivotal role in addressing these evolving challenges for their clients. Under Vivek’s guidance, Accropolix has been a frontrunner in implementing research oriented, data-driven innovative marketing strategies under the principle of Deep Sales & Marketing.

Global Challenges in Marketing

1. Stringent Data Protection Acts Globally

As per Harvard business review, the number one goal of data protection is, Trust over transactions. With laws like, GDPR and CCPA, along with recent Google Gmail Protection act are transforming the way personal data is collected and handled. Striking a balance between compliance and effective marketing is becoming an increasingly tough nut to crack.

2. Email Clients are Identifying and Classifying Cold Emails as Spam

As per google, Gmail’s AI-powered defenses stop nearly 15 billion unwanted emails every day. Imagine the massive, daily email-sending traffic, and where you stand in this very intense crowded market. Additionally, advancement in email filtering technology poses a new threat where legitimate business domains are also being wrongfully blacklisted. This disrupts marketing efforts making it challenging for businesses to reach their intended audiences.

3. Current market tactics are saturating

The once-effective cold email tactics are now losing their charm, thanks to an overcrowded marketing environment. Capturing potential clients’ attention is tougher than ever.

4. Transition to a Cookie-Less World

As per Google’s plan, they will completely deprecate 3P cookies in the second half of 2024. But they are not alone Safari has been blocking 3P for years. This makes it difficult for businesses reliant on cookie-based tracking for targeted advertising as the world gradually moves away from cookies.

5. Unsolicited outreach hampering brand perception

Look at your inbox, you will hardly find emails from established brands unless you have interacted earlier either on websites or social channels. An aggressive cold emailing strategy can backfire, harming the brand’s image and value in the consumer’s eyes.

Simple Yet Critical Solutions

1. Creating a Consent-Based Mailing List

Focus on building a mailing list based on explicit user consent, aligning with both global data protection laws and ethical marketing standards. This strategy not only boosts engagement rates but also solidifies brand trust and minimizes spam risks.

2. High Precision Outreach

The updated word would be: With laws like, GDPR and CCPA, along with recent Google Gmail Protection act are transforming the way personal data is collected and handled. Improved conversion rates, customer satisfaction, and compliance with privacy laws.

3. Tactical Discovery (Value Based Inbound Website Traffic)

Employ organic strategies like SEO and content marketing to attract genuinely interested visitors to your website. This helps build sustainable web traffic, better lead quality, and enhanced search engine rankings.

4. Trade Shows for Networking and Lead Generation

Engage in trade shows and industry events for direct engagement with potential clients and showcasing products or services. Opportunities for live interaction, networking, and direct lead generation.

Way forward

This exploration of the modern marketing challenges and the corresponding innovative solutions, spearheaded by Vivek Sharma at Accropolix, extensive research highlights that the future of marketing is about adaptability, creativity, and understanding evolving consumer preferences.

By embracing these strategies, businesses can set new standards in effective and ethical marketing, ensuring compliance with global regulations and standing out in a crowded marketplace.

Across the world, one can clearly see the fingerprints of climate change and it is alarming, to say the least. While efforts are being made by government bodies, private agencies and individuals to reverse the effects of climate change, one has also been looking for ways or methods to protect oneself from the sweltering heat of the summer.

Rajiv Lunkad along with his brother Sanjog Lunkad both fourth generation entrepreneurs have been working across different industries and technologies and products that enable the world move towards adopting a sustainable lifestyle. While moving ahead in this direction, they have managed to put together a product which is now known as the first radiative cooling headwear cap to exist in the world.

Talking about the thought behind inventing this product, Rajiv says, “This summer was one of the hottest ever recorded in many places, leaving millions of people grappling with unbearable heat. As we anticipate a future of warmer summers fuelled by the climate crisis, we have to find ways to adapt to the changing environment. This cooling headwear cap, which is a first-of-its-kind product in this space, has been designed to make the summers a little more bearable for people.”

The duo have worked on several notable projects and lent their expertise to the development of technologies and products that have played an important role in introducing modern technologies One such being their innovation of fully illuminated traffic light project which has been implemented in the city of Mumbai and now being visibly replicated elsewhere in the country.

Elaborating further on the product, he states, “The cap has been made using radiative cooling material that will safeguard people from extreme heat when they are in an outdoor space. Apart from being made with sustainable material, the cap is energy-free and carbon neutral. The cap reflects maximum sunlight back through the atmospheric window into space creating a cooling effect on the inside. It can achieve a cooling of more than minus 5 degrees than the outside temperature.”

The product designed and developed by the duo entrepreneurs serves as yet another testimony to the fact that Entrepreneurs in India are
also filled with visionaries that can create the kind of products that would not only help the people in the country adhere to an environment-friendly and sustainable lifestyle but also enable the entire world to treat the environment more empathetically.

The team is gearing up to lauch the product commercially very soon in the
coming months.

Hyderabad (Telangana) [India]: The 15th India Game Developer Conference (IGDC), held in Hyderabad, not only celebrated game development but also highlighted the pivotal role of educational institutions in shaping future talent. Among them, the Backstage Pass Institute of Gaming and Technology (BSP) stood out, proving once again why it’s considered a leading light in India’s gaming education sector.

Established in 2010 by Surya Prakash, BSP has consistently pushed the boundaries of gaming education. Starting with less than ten students, the institute has now evolved into a vibrant hub, hosting over 900 students and alumni. Its unique approach, blending theoretical knowledge with hands-on practical experience, has made it a preferred destination for budding game developers. “We are proud of the educational milestones we have achieved, but the real reward is seeing our students excel at prestigious platforms like the IGDC,” said Surya Prakash, reflecting on BSP’s impact.

At the IGDC 2023, the spotlight was on Backstage Pass’s own Abhishek Singh, who earned the ‘Student Game of the Year’ award for his innovative game, ‘Laser Tanks’. This award marks a significant achievement for Indian game developers on the international stage. Abhishek’s journey began early in his school years with an interest in programming and web design. His first game, “Cuber,” launched on itch.io, received a warm reception, encouraging him to pursue a career in game development.

Enrolling in BSP to further his education, Abhishek refined his skills and conceptualized “Laser Tanks,” an action RPG that captivated players with its intense combat scenarios. Released on the Google Play Store on April 14, 2023, the game has been well-received, earning a 4.2 rating and is expected to expand to Steam soon.

In his victory speech, Abhishek expressed deep gratitude to BSP, stating, “I am incredibly grateful for the guidance and support from my professors at BSP. This award is not just a personal achievement, but a milestone for the entire team that worked on Laser Tanks.”

The success of students like Abhishek Singh at IGDC 2023 is a testament to the quality of education and training provided by institutions like Backstage Pass Institute of Gaming and Technology.
