K7 Computing hosts it in Bangalore, having hosted it earlier in 2013 in Chennai, India

September 24, 2019, Bengaluru, India: K7 Computing Private Limited, a homegrown cybersecurity industry leader, hosted the prestigious AVAR Cyber Conclave 2019 in Bangalore, India.

With the attackers exploiting the vulnerabilities in the systems, globally, the massive damage wrought by the cybercriminals may be fathomed by the estimates of losses due to ransomware alone amounting to over USD 8 billion (approximately INR 56,700 crore). The aim of the event was to generate greater awareness in industry for having a concrete blueprint for ensuring data security at all ends.

Speaking about AVAR Cyber Conclave, J Kesavardhanan, MD & CEO, K7 Computing said, “The aim of AVAR is to bring all stakeholders, those who are helping to fend off the cyber-threats and attacks, onto a single platform to share information on the various threats that arise every now and then. AVAR shall organise such events regularly in the country so that more and more people can be part of such events.”

Highlighting about the need to have stringent data security policies being adopted by the companies, Allan Dyer, Chairman, AVAR, said, “All countries need to work together. We have to move against the cybercriminals by moving away from retribution to attribution. We have to ensure that every stakeholder in the ecosystem is educated about cyber threats and ways to protect their data from being attacked. This would need a collective approach from companies across the globe.”

Since the launch of the Digital India 2015, there has been a quantum jump in the number of attacks as more and more people and their data are now online.

In line with this, Pratap Reddy, IPS, Karnataka, said, “While India is becoming a digital hub, there are multiple dynamics that would need a cover. There are major challenges is fighting these cyber threats. Firms are reluctant to share information on attacks. We need a seamless sharing of information and there needs to be a default agency to share information on attacks. We will need more support from the companies to share the right information with us so that we can provide them the required help.”

The event was held not only to benefit industry, but also to expand knowledge-sharing and networking in the global scenario.

*My OMI Plan reduces EMIs by 30% and features a low refundable down payment

*Own a two wheeler under 30 minutes with My OMI Plan

Bengaluru, 24 September 2019: OTO Capital today announced the launch of My OMI (Ownership Monthly Installment) Plan for two wheeler buyers. My OMI Plan is the most affordable and flexible financing option for consumers to purchase two-wheelers of their choice at any dealer showroom. With the My OMI Plan, customers now have an affordable and flexible option of owning a two wheeler for a fraction of the cost which is upto 30% lower than existing two-wheeler EMIs. One of the significant causes for the recent slowdown of the automotive industry is believed to be caused by challenges in financing vehicle purchases. While the government is taking measures to boost demand, options such the My OMI Plan could bring buyer interest back on track by making it easier for customers to finance automotive purchases.

With the My OMI Plan, customers can walk into any two-wheeler showroom, get an instant approval and ride home their brand new vehicle under 30 minutes with zero paperwork. Under the plan, customers pay a low down payment, as little as INR 5000 which is refundable and OMIs (Ownership Monthly Installments) that are 30% less than loan EMIs. Customers can choose the tenure of their OMIs, which ranges from 1-3 years. At the end of the chosen tenure, customers have the flexibility to walk away with no obligation, or upgrade to another brand-new vehicle, or make a simple balloon payment to retain the same vehicle.

Buyers also get a convenient, all-inclusive OMI that includes bumper to bumper insurance and maintenance. The company has partnered with more than 100 dealers in the city, including Aryan Suzuki, Sapphire Honda, Tansi Honda, Avanish Suzuki and many more to offer customers the new financing option. OTO has already financed more than 140 two wheelers in its pilot phase in the last 45 days. Currently My OMI Plan is available to customers in Bengaluru and Mumbai and in the next one year OTO will expand into 10 other Indian cities.

Every year in India, more than Two crore two wheelers are sold, out of which, more than 50% are financed. The frequency with which new auto models are being introduced and the rise in usage of connected vehicles, is rapidly changing the vehicle ownership experience. Customers are now seeking faster access to vehicles, low-cost EMIs and quicker upgrades. OTO allows just that. By partnering with dealers, corporates and automakers, OTO is gaining popularity as the fastest-growing alternate option to vehicle loans. The company has already signed up 20 corporates where employees enjoy hassle free financing along with flexible ownership and additional tax savings.

OTO partners with Banks and NBFCs to provide the capital and offers customers with an alternative option for financing vehicle purchases. OTO provides a full auto-lifecycle management, from credit underwriting to insurance, maintenance and eventual resale of the vehicle. Partnering with OTO helps traditional and large banks to offer flexible models of ownership and incentivize the new-age buyer by offering an all inclusive package. With the slowdown in the automotive sector, partnering with OTO gives vehicle loan departments of banks an opportunity to quickly move into vehicle leasing without any change in their internal processes. OTO is enabling Banks and NBFCs to serve newer and wider set of customers who were earlier shying away from vehicle loans.

“Skilling on emerging tech by industry experts to remain innovative & competitive “

BENGALURU,11th September,2019:

RV-SKILLS, a unique industry-focused centre for skill development, training and research, with special emphasis on emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence (A), Machine Learning (ML), and Automotive Electronics (AE), has taken a definite shape in Bengaluru, to cater to the fast-changing dynamics of the Indian industry.

Pioneered by the Rashtreeya Sikshana Samithi Trust (RSST) in strategic association with Nanochip Solutions Pvt. Limited, RV-SKILLS is set to become the one-stop destination for people pursuing excellence in emerging fields like Al, ML, AE and VLSI design under the tutelage of industry experts.

Over the next one decade, RV-SKILLS aims to empower more than 100,000 aspiring entrepreneurs, engineers and technology professionals, with knowledge and skills that can be leveraged in a wide range of fields.

Emphasizing on the vision of RV-SKILLS, Venkatesh Prasad, Group CEO-RV SKILLS, said, “Technology is advancing at a rapid pace and it is becoming increasingly difficult for people to stay ahead of the learning curve. Today, beyond the realm of engineering education, Al, Analytics, Big Data, ML and AE, are making a big impact on several core sectors. It becomes imperative for us to keep pace with emerging technologies if we have to remain innovative and competitive.

Earlier known as RV-VLSI, the transformation of the centre into RV-SKILLS was necessitated by the changing requirements of the industry. “We often lament that we missed several technology revolutions because we failed to spot the global trends. We expect Al, AE and VLSI design to dominate every sector in the coming decades. We had to converge all our resources, tools, expertise and knowledge on a single platform to equip students with the right training and development needs and hence, RV-SKILLS took shape,” said Dr. M.K. Panduranga Setty, President, Rashtreeya Sikshana Samithi Trust

RV-SKILLS brings many unique aspects to training and development of these emerging technologies it is a first of its kind centre, where 75% of the course time is spent in the labs giving students a comprehensive scope to apply the theory taught to real time scenario and learn; top industry professionals are faculties; industry standard technical infrastructure; learning is on industry tools and applications; and has the added advantage of over 100 Industry interfaces and an alumni network of 4500+ professionals.

Recognizing the efforts of RV-SKILLS, Manu Saale MD and CEO from Mercedes- Benz Research & Development, India, said, “With the pace and direction in which the industry is moving, there is a need for skilled engineering talent. I am glad to see a center that focuses on bridging that gap and in turn help both the industry and the students. For instance, the automotive industry is heading towards electric cars, autonomous driving and being more digital. The future of mobility needs agile talent to go beyond this. VLSI, AE and Al domains are interrelated, engineers with domain expertise in one of these areas and with a broad view of the other two domains will be needed by the industry. I am confident that RV-SKILLS will pioneer many such centers throughout India to benefit the students and the industry.”

“Calligo Technologies is an Intel-Technology partner and we deliver Intel-centric advanced Al-Trainings at premier institutes such as IITS and NITS. We are happy to collaborate with RV-Skills to offer job-oriented Training Programs on Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning/Deep Learning, leading to high-tech jobs at Calligo and other companies”, said Anantha Kinnal, Executive Chairman and Co-founder of Calligo Technologies.
