Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal urges customers to remain vigilant against cyber frauds

0

Airtel CEO Gopal Vittal has cautioned his customers upon the rising cases of cyber frauds which has become frequent due to surge in online transactions in the post Covid era.

In an email outreach to subscribers, Gopal Vittal has urged users to remain vigilant about the calls made to the by cyber-fraudsters posing as an Airtel executive on the pretext of updating his Know Your Customer (KYC) form and duping them. He has also elaborated upon the common instances of fraud like Fake UPI handles/website and Fake OTPs and listed down the precautions, every customer should take to safeguard themselves from the fraudsters.

His letter further elaborates upon the modus operandi for fake UPI handles/website and fake OTPs and listed down the precautions, every customer should take to safeguard themselves.

Gopal Vittal said, “The customers can get call or message from the fraudster claiming to be from a bank/financial institution and asks for account details or an OTP to unblock/renew the existing bank account. The details are then used to withdraw money from the customer’s bank account. I urge you therefore to pay heed and proceed with care and do not to share any financial or personal information like customer ID, MPIN, OTP etc over the phone.”

On the similar lines he cautioned the users about the fake UPI apps and ecommerce websites which appear authentic in design through the usage of NPCI, BHIM words and logos. He said “If a customer download one of these, he will be asked to enter all his bank details as well as his MPIN thereby granting the fraudster in question complete access to your bank details. Please avoid such suspicious websites and apps and avoid sharing any confidential information via email or through a click on any suspicious link in the email, even if the request seems to be from authorities like the Income Tax Department, Visa, or MasterCard, etc.”

Vittal also suggested using ‘Airtel Safe Pay’ describing it as a ”very sound way” to avoid fraud. Airtel Safe Pay is the safest method of paying online in the country and provides an additional layer of security for every transaction, he said. “Before you make a payment, our network intelligence throws up a message asking you to confirm the transaction. And the money only leaves your account once we have received your approval, thereby ensuring you are not vulnerable to fraudsters,” he wrote.

Xsolla Web Shop to help game developers grow their revenue by 40% and expand globally

0

Video game commerce giant Xsolla has unveiled Xsolla Web Shop, a solution with which game developers can expect up to 40% revenue growth and the resources to reach players in newer geographies previously unavailable to them. The web shop is essentially a unique mix of select Xsolla tools and services that allow users to add virtual currencies and items to their accounts, using their preferred local currency and payment method while offering multilingual display support. With these elegant solutions, developers can extend the life of their mobile and PC games beyond app stores and other platforms.

The launch of Xsolla Web Shop assumes much significance as it comes close on the heels of three recent industry-changing announcements – the Epic V Apple ruling allowing developers to direct users to other payment systems and bypass the 30% cut of in-app payments procured by Apple, willingness of the tech giant to allow alternative payment methods and South Korea passing a law asking both Apple and Google to open their platforms to alternative gateways.

“Xsolla anticipated this seismic shift earlier this year, when we launched multiple products that are being actively used by some of the world’s largest game companies to increase profit and build closer relationships with their mobile and pc players. We’ve now combined these products and learning into an elegant new solution called Xsolla Web Shop,” said Chris Hewish, President, Xsolla.

Echoing the sentiments, Anton Zelenin, Head of Game Commerce at Xsolla, said, “Through Xsolla Web Shop, we are helping game developers think about and scale their mobile games across multiple platforms to expand their business into new markets and to grow their audience. The opportunities are even greater, and we’ve seen amazing success stories from partners who have integrated this solution.”

Amid rising online channel shares for smartphones, the offline trade channel needs to renovate to stay afloat: Techarc

0

Market research firm Techarc has launched Smart Seller Initiative, an exclusive information and insights programme for the trade channels to bridge the information deficiency gap among retailers and other trade partners of the brands.

In a dipstick survey done by Techarc in 2019, within NCR, it was found that 7 out of 10 retailers in the offline do not see brands educating them beyond giving the fundamental tips to sell the smartphones. The only brands which matched their expectation in terms of empowering them with information around products were Samsung and Apple.

In its inaugural session, veteran mobile handset business leader and advisor Techarc, Ajay Sharma and Faisal Kawoosa, Founder and Chief Analyst Techarc, discussed about the key challenges in the short and long term for the offline trade channel and ways to overcome them.  They also took select questions received through the channel fraternity capturing the main themes which included:-

  • Is offline still relevant for smartphones? How do channel partners retain and regain the business?
  • What can they do when the brands are promoting online along with the enabling ecosystem including financial and other services?
  • With the present supply chain issues, there is availability issue with the offline channel. Is there anything that they can do?
  • Should the channel partners stay with incumbent brands who offer better margins and, also participate in working capital through credit facility, etc., or go with the fast-moving brands which have wafer thin margins and work on cash and carry model?
  • How can the offline trade channel create sustainable differentiators?

Key recommendations

According to Ajay Sharma, Advisor Techarc, “Trade channel community needs to restructure and realign with the changing customer expectations which it can do leveraging technology and data.  At the same time, brands need to take substantial measures to enable them to be partners in growth.”

Both the experts discussed the issues faced by the offline trade channels and came out with the following key recommendations for the offline channel partners as well as the brands whom they represent in the markets.

Go for Smart Ecosystem than only smartphones: As per a latest Tech Insight released by Techarc, smartphone brands’ revenue contribution is increasingly getting distributed over other smart devices with the changing consumer preferences towards a smart Tech-Style.  In 2021, smartphone revenues for these brands will be a little over 70%, while rest will come from other smart devices including Smart TVs, TWS, Smartwatch, etc.  The retailers need to diversify and proactively widen their portfolio going beyond smartphones to serve the rising smart ecosystem that the consumer prefers to live within which comprises several devices. As against 4-5 smart devices available 3 years back, today there are more than 15 smart devices for a consumer to live a smart tech-style. The retailer community should go out for products where the consumer understanding is still less so that they can add value by educating and informing consumers about these products. Among the devices available, awareness about smartphones and Smart TVs is high which is why consumers are increasingly preferring online-led self-purchasing mediums.

Establish a reconnect with your customers:  Even when there was no concept of building and nurturing communities in the offline mediums, the retailer in the offline channel used to be a family member for most of the customers. The retailer would be aware of the life-stages of the customer families and engage as a partner than a seller. Today, the connect and engagement has substantially gone down. The customers visiting shops largely deal with third party instore promoters and the owners do not proactively engage. For a product like smartphone, where all possible information is available online and users can learn a lot about it through online sources and buy along, someone still visiting offline channel is looking for a human engagement and connect which needs to be reciprocated. The retailer fraternity needs to look at means and ways of re-establishing the desired human engagement.

Invest in Technology: Digital transformation is not only driving better revenues but also elates the user experience.  In the corporate sector, the HR (Human Resources) function considers investment in technology as a means to attract and retain talent. At the same time, younger population is driving sales in these smart products. According to a user study done by Techarc in early 2020, a youth in the age group of 15-35 is either the decision maker or an influencer in more than 80% of the purchases of a smart device including the smartphones. The offline trade channel must innovate and look modern as per the expectations and outlook of the youth population so that they visit these stores and increase the footfall. Technology can also open avenues of increasing engagement with the customers for the retailers as well as facilitate innovative means of selling and allied functions.

Leverage data to become data driven: There is still a push approach adopted most of the times in the offline channels. The channel doesn’t have strong data backed inputs to decide about their product portfolio in terms of the breadth and depth of the products to be made available for sales.  The channel largely depends on the inputs fed by brands which may not always be the true market reflection, resulting in inventor pileup as many times products are simply pushed into the channel. The retailer fraternity needs to develop its own information gathering and analysis in a scientific way so that they can decide about the portfolio which has better acceptability in the market and maximise sales. Such best practices are already implemented by online marketplaces which are increasing their say in the game based on data and facts and hence negotiate with the brands better deals.

Organise and collaborate beyond trade activism: The trade associations and bodies primarily team up for business and trade interests to be advocated before the government and sometimes the industry. There is a need in the offline trade channel to organise and collaborate actively for trade practices and strategies as well. For example, they can together invest in developing common technology platforms, information sharing and analysis of the markets. Such collaborations can help them pool resources which are then leveraged by all for mutual gains.

Commenting on the role of brands in supporting the offline trade channel, Faisal Kawoosa, Founder and Chief Analyst, Techarc, said, “With the new business formats introduced by newcomers in the market, the swing has played in favour of the online channel. However, we cannot ignore the offline trade channels for its unique value propositions. Brands need to invest and support actively the offline trade partners helping them invest in technology, leverage data and extend other enabling facilities to sell more by elating the overall customer experience.”

Future Outlook

Pandemic has swinged the market in favour of online channel. However, this does not mean that offline trade channel can be struck off. Even during complete lockdown days, the market has shown contraction rather than going 100% in favour of online and once the offline trade resumed the economic indicators started to see an upward journey.

The offline trade channel needs to renovate leveraging technology, data and also change its engagement style with the customers. If these measures are proactively taken, the offline trade channel contribution in case of smartphones could stay in the range of 50-55% of the total sales by volume.

Besides, the offline trade channel could leverage the smart tech-style of consumers and play a pivotal role in educating them about the benefits and use cases of these products where the consumer is still attempting to strike a balance between its trend value and the real value.

Offline channel can play a critical role in being an enabling partner in solving one of the biggest challenges of the smartphone industry, which is expanding the smartphone base. Over the years we have seen that the smartphone base isn’t expanding to its potential, and we still have 200-250 million users out of the feature phone base which can switch if they get a right product offering, like what Jio is attempting through JioPhoneNext. In the next 2-3 years, the offline trade channel will be an important partner for the smartphone ecosystem in helping the smartphone base grow and help the country become 2G mukt (free) and make the Digital India initiatives accessible to a wider base of the population.

Oppo held the 2021 Oppo Developer Conference (ODC) under the theme “Building A Better Future Together.” It introduced a series of technologies such as Omoji, ray tracing, and heterogeneous computing and launched its brand new Oppo Health and Oppo Carlink businesses.

“In an ever-connected world, the number of devices and services, as well as the ways of interactions are more and more diverse. Developers need to be able to support different usage scenarios and longer operation cycles,” said Levin Liu, Oppo Vice President and President of Oppo Research Institute. “Oppo is dedicated to empowering our developers to face the challenges and build a better future together for our users.”

Oppo envisions building a user-centric ubiquitous service experience to create natural interactions between people and devices and seamless interconnections of multiple devices and make the service experience flow with people. This future requires enhanced visuals, efficient computing, and a close connection between different devices. Oppo has launched a series of technical capabilities to enable developers to co-create with Oppo to realize this vision.

For enhanced visuals, Oppo’s Omoji and ray tracing technologies can help developers bring life to apps and games.

Oppo has brought AI-driven Omoji technology to ColorOS. Through deep learning models and powerful AI algorithms, it can capture and reproduce delicate facial expressions and become users’ avatars in the virtual world.

Based on Vulkan API and built for the next generation of ray tracing enabled mobile hardware, Oppo ray tracing can reproduce details in the real world and enhance the user’s viewing experience. Oppo has already concluded prototype development on mobile devices and plans to provide technology capability access to developers in the first half of 2022. Ray tracing technology has broad application potential in fields such as 3D live wallpapers, image filters, and AR.

Computing needs are becoming more and more constant and ubiquitous, and they need to be more efficient than before. Oppo launched a performance and power optimization solution-heterogeneous computing, which can more efficiently utilize different cores, different threads, and different processors. By accessing Oppo’s heterogeneous computing capabilities, developers can more easily solve application performance problems and make programs run faster and more efficiently.

Through Oppo Carlink, Oppo will extend the ability to connect smartphones and cars to give developers easier access to develop car-related products.
