IITH-AFI-April-2-Event-Brochure.Pdf MESSAGE FROM THE ORGANIZING TEAM Dear Friends, It is our pleasure to invite you to 'Innovation, Startups and Social Impact: Strengthening the Ecosystem', a joint initiative by i-TIC Foundation of IIT Hyderabad and Action For India (AFI). This is an engaging dialogue among distinguished private, public, and social sector leaders to identify opportunities and address the challenges often faced by innovators seeking to scale up their social enterprises. This initiative focuses on bringing together inputs for designing a leading social entrepreneurship accelerator at IIT Hyderabad. We, at IIT Hyderabad and AFI, collectively believe that it is an exciting time for the social entrepreneurship ecosystem with so many innovators setting the stage for a growing worldwide movement. The social entrepreneurs are the game changers who are setting the rules of today’s world riddled with its complexity and nuances. These bold efforts warrant the creation of an enabling environment for the social entrepreneurs to thrive and reach new heights. It is a privilege to note that India is increasingly becoming a fertile ground for this new stage of the intermingling of technology and social causes. The available resources and success of social enterprises have attracted attention from across the world. However, there are certain challenges faced by social enterprises on their way to success which must be addressed at an early stage to allow functional growth and development. With this proposed accelerator, we will collectively try to support social enterprises on their technology based innovations in the healthcare, agriculture, and education sectors. Through this initiative, IIT Hyderabad and AFI, intend to identify high-potential social enterprises and provide a supportive system to help them in their scaling journeys. In this partnership, IIT Hyderabad’s in-depth expertise in technology and innovation will complement AFI’s rich experience in working with the leading social entrepreneurs of the country for nearly a decade. By playing a more direct role in these scaling journeys, we hope to realize our eventual goal of creating impact unicorns over the next few years, who can in turn have an uplifting effect on the lives of people at the Bottom of the Pyramid. We would like to take this opportunity to extend my sincere thanks to our partners – T-Hub, RICH, and SVP and our sponsor, CtrlS Datacenter, without whom this initiative would have not been possible. We sincerely hope that you are able to explore the full potential of the event and the upcoming accelerator program as an opportunity to network, collaborate and build lasting partnerships with technocrats, corporates, investors, and government representatives.

PREFACE Lorsqu’il s’agit de l’avenir proche de l’homme sur Terre, du futur que connaîtront nos enfants - et tel est le sujet de cet essai - la littérature est évidemment spéculative et volontiers théorique. Francis Pisani évite ce double piège avec aisance, c’est ce qui rend son ouvrage assez fascinant. Comment fait-il ? Ces villes intelligentes dans lesquelles vivront un jour plusieurs milliards d’humains, il en a vu les premières, embryonnaires ou déjà formées, en Chine, en Inde, en Asie, en Amérique latine et en Europe. En journaliste, il a enquêté sur place, interrogé les acteurs comme les témoins, hiérarchisé ses informations et recoupé ses sources, qu’il ne manque pas de citer. En écrivain, il a rassemblé les pièces de son puzzle et en a fait apparaître l’intelligence. Le résultat est la description, en mots simples et dans une logique fluide, de ce que nous allons – devrions - faire pour gérer l’espace urbain dans lequel nous allons vivre.

Eight Hundred Fifty-Five Crore and Ninety-Three Lakhs Only) Details of instruments/facilities in Annexure-1 Detailed Rationale & Key Rating Drivers The ratings assigned to the bank facilities of Sai Wardha Power Generation Limited (SWPGL) derive strength from the benefits derived out of the resolution plan implemented for the company with change in management and investment by the iLabs Group, significant debt reduction and fund infusion by the new management, long term off-take agreement entered with Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Company Ltd. (MSEDCL) for 45% of total gross capacity and back-to-back with Brihanmumbai Electricity Supply and Transport (BEST) through Manikaran Power Limited (MPL) for 19% of total gross capacity and gradual improvement in the operational & financial performance of the company in the current fiscal. The rating strengths are however, tempered by the demand risk and price risk with respect to untied capacity, relatively low PLF level during 9MFY21 (refers to period April 01 to December 31) dependence upon auction coal for partial capacity thereby, resulting in susceptibility to raw material price volatility, exposure to counterparty credit risk arising from existing domestic off-takers having moderate financial risk profile and pending finalization of capex for flue gas desulphurization (FGD).

  • Leading Business Digital Transformations and Innovation
    Leading Business Digital Transformations and Innovation 01 AUG 2018 – 31 JAN 2019, HYDERABAD Leading Business Digital Transformations and Innovation Emerging technologies and digital business models are fundamentally transforming how firms compete with one another. Traditional boundaries and value networks of firms are getting disrupted at a rapid pace, forcing organisations to rethink strategies not just for business growth and competitive advantage, but also for survival. Technology giants such as Amazon, Google, Apple, and Facebook, as well as digital native entrepreneurs, are increasingly challenging the dominance of large established industry incumbents across diverse sectors. Digital technologies are also opening up a host of unprecedented opportunities for executives and leaders across all business functions to redefine value, innovate, shape culture, collaborate, and grow. To realise these opportunities, organisations require a new breed of digitally-savvy leaders, who are ready for uncertain, open and dynamic competitive contexts. It is imperative for these leaders to understand and effectively leverage appropriate digital technologies to transform their business strategies and models, lead their organisations to new paradigms of data-driven analytical insights and customer-focused innovation, and acquire the ability to continually learn, armed with lessons and innovative trends from around the world. To help meet these different and dynamic leadership requirements of growing competition in the digital age, ISB has launched a
