The remote working model due to the pandemic has led many corporations and businesses believe in the idea of adopting a hybrid working model. Global players like Google and Microsoft are already considering and channelling their course towards hybrid working model, with advanced video conferencing systems, combined with wider screens in offices that will be facilitating face-to-face meetings with colleagues working remotely. The structure of hosting a meeting imagined by Microsoft includes meeting rooms where cameras are placed at eye level to improve eye contact, and spatial audio that will help person present in office hear colleagues’ voices loud and clear when they’re dialled in. This spatial audio will also make the meeting more experiential, and would give the feeling as if colleague is present in the room.

The hybrid working culture has already started becoming a norm, as virus cases begin to come down around the world, with vaccination process being carried out rapidly in European and other Western countries. The hybrid working model will further shape up to become a reality in wider geographies. India caught amid the second wave is likely to see implementation for hybrid working model by next year. Few of the highlights that hybrid working model is being considered by a good section of business corporations are-

  • Greater access to talent
  • Increased productivity for individuals and small teams
  • Lower costs
  • More individual flexibility
  • Improved employee experiences.

A robust video conferencing application is a must have for this model to be a success, as it will only dominate the process of communication, data exchange, documentation, reporting etc. One of the most vital features that will make a video-conferencing application ideal to host meetings of all kind is being multilingual. Organizations around the world interact and grow by being in communication with a diverse set of clienteles.

We are living in a world where physical meetings have reduced to bare minimum, so meeting someone virtually the first time, that too for strictly professional purposes can be really intimidating. Lack of non-verbal communication via body movements, gestures limits the understanding of participants, different connotation of certain words and expressions also come across as another barrier.

A robust video-conferencing app will make sure there are ample of tools, to make the meeting start on a lighter note, and continue smoothly without the hustle of participants struggling to communicate their viewpoint. Some of these features are-

  1. Organized tool panel

An ideal video-conferencing application will be the one with texting, speaking, streaming, sharing and prompting tools all present at one place, with clear distinction between them. The participants must not face any struggle in moving to and fro between different options.

  1. Live captioning

This is one of the most useful features for hosting meetings with people from diverse culture. Audio to text live transcription of the speech will make it convenient for people to have meaningful conversations easily without the obstacle of limited understanding.

  1. Audio/Screen Share

The screen sharing has been a revolutionary tool in the world of video conferencing, but simultaneously audio sharing from two sources of sound has not received much appreciation. Even though this tool comes very handy for all sorts of businesses, the availability of video’s sound and participant voice at same time makes it very easy for firms thriving on multimedia content.

  1. Auto bandwidth detection

Not everybody has a high-speed internet connection. To make things simpler for the ones with patchy network, auto bandwidth detection and simultaneous adjustment of audio/video quality makes remote working a possibility for all.

  1. Full Audio/Video Control

A host getting full control over every participant’s camera and also the audio rights in case of an important announcement. In case of webinar, these audio/video permissions can be shared with panellists for sharing information in a structured manner.

Made in India video-conferencing application VideoMeet has all these features making it ideal for hybrid working model and so much more.

Battlegrounds Mobile India: Is it the Reincarnation of PUBG Mobile?

The gaming industry is abuzz with the localised version of PUBG Mobile, called Battlegrounds Mobile India, which received 7.6 million pre-registrations on its opening day and 20 million in two weeks. While millions of gamers are keenly waiting for the game to be rolled out, little did they know about the new privacy policy, which is perhaps one of the several changes the company had to incorporate to make Battlegrounds Mobile India available to the Indian audience.

In September last year, PUBG Mobile, which was then published in India by Chinese internet giant Tencent, was banned along with several other Chinese apps amid a prolonged border standoff between the two Asian neighbours. According to Sensor Tower, India accounted for 180 million downloads out of its 752 million global downloads at the time of the ban last year. Not only PUBG Mobile was the highest grosser last year, but it was also bringing huge profits in both the esports and professional gaming industries, thanks to sponsored tournaments and events.

Krafton Inc., the South Korean maker of PUBG, recently announced the date for pre-registrations of the game’s Indian version – Battlegrounds Mobile India, marking its exclusive launch in the country. Battlegrounds Mobile opened registrations on May 18 on the Google Play Store before the launch. Exclusively designed for Indian players, the game offers specific rewards on pre-registration which can be claimed after the official launch, which is speculated to be this month only.

Strict rules this time

Interestingly, this time the rules will be a bit strict for game lovers under the age of 18. To play the Battleground Mobile India game, they will need the permission of their parents. Not only permission, but the gamers below 18 years will also be asked to provide phone number of their parents. According to its terms of use, parents or guardians who feel that their child has provided personal information without their consent can contact the developers and request for the information to be deleted from the database.

There is also a time limit for underage gamers, who will not be able to play Battlegrounds Mobile India for more than 3 hours a day. This move is aimed at preventing them from playing the game. However, it is unclear how the game’s administrators will confirm a user’s age or enforce the time limits. Likewise, for purchasing in-game cosmetics, they will only be able to spend Rs 7,000 and not more than that. Further, the new Indian version of the game will not feature any blood effects.

“The formation of a strong foundation of the Indian gaming industry has begun. After waiting for so long the countdown for pre-registrations finally comes to an end and a new countdown for the game launch begins” – Abhishek Aggarwal, Co-Founder & CEO, Trinity Gaming

Besides, special care has been taken of data security and privacy in Battlegrounds Mobile India. In the privacy policy available on Battlegrounds Mobile India’s official website, Krafton revealed that personal information and data will be stored on the game servers, which will be located in India and Singapore. “With privacy and data security being a top priority, Krafton will be working with partners, to ensure data protection and security, at each stage. This will ensure privacy rights are respected, and all data collection and storage will be in full compliance with all applicable laws and regulations in India and for players here,” they said. In the event of a data transfer to another country or region, appropriate steps will be taken to ensure that players’ information receives the same level of protection as if it remained in India.

A welcome move

Meanwhile, the gaming fraternity in India has welcomed this development. It will be a multi-player game meant for mobile phones. Krafton has already said that the Battlegrounds Mobile India will have its own esports ecosystem in the country, including tournaments and leagues. The exclusive game will further boost the growing esports space in India benefitting multiple stakeholders, including gamers, esports platforms as well as content creators.

With the launch of pre-registration creating quite a buzz among the esports community in India, Abhishek Aggarwal, Co-Founder and CEO, Trinity Gaming, India’s top gaming talent management company, is of the opinion that the formation of a strong foundation of the Indian gaming industry has begun. After waiting for so long, the countdown for pre-registrations finally comes to an end and a new countdown for the game launch begins, says Aggarwal.

“All thanks to Krafton Inc., as they took the initiative to curate a game that was missed by the Indian gamers. This development surely ensures to boost the Indian esports ecosystem and will fuel our ambition to become the esports powerhouse” – Lokesh Suji, Director, Esports Federation of India

With no live sports taking place, this launch has come at an opportune time, believes Lokesh Suji, Director, Esports Federation of India and Vice President, Asian Esports Federation. Suji says, “The wave of excitement in the Indian esports market is palatable and the excitement levels have gone up by notches ensuring the gamers will soon be able to enjoy the familiar adrenaline rush again with Battlegrounds Mobile India. All thanks to Krafton Inc., as they took the initiative to curate a game that was missed by the Indian gamers. This development surely ensures to boost the Indian esports ecosystem and will fuel our ambition to become the esports powerhouse.”

This is big, says Tarun Gupta, Founder, Ultimate Battle, an esports platform. “The whole gaming community was anticipating that it would soon happen and here we are with the pre-registrations open inviting all the gamers out there. We are also preparing ourselves and gearing up for the best ever matches to come as Ultimate Battle will be including Battlegrounds Mobile India in our ‘All India Esports League’ and we hope it will shoot up among the players. This announcement is wholeheartedly welcomed and we hope to soon get our hands on it,” states Gupta.

“We are also preparing ourselves and gearing up for the best ever matches to come as Ultimate Battle will be including Battlegrounds Mobile India in our ‘All India Esports League’ and we hope it will shoot up among the players” – Tarun Gupta, Founder, Ultimate Battle

Saumya Singh Rathore, Co-Founder, WinZO Games, elucidates, “PUBG was one of the most loved and popular games among the Indian gamers. We had partnered with Tencent to host the esports tournaments of PUBG before it was restricted in India. Our players experienced a big vacuum that is still felt to some extent. We are very excited with the news and this brings a great global asset back for the audience in India. The green flag given by the Government of India acknowledges the massive potential the gaming sector holds in uplifting the economy and creating additional employment opportunities.”

Gamers’ delight

Krafton has released a new trailer which is actually the continuation of the past teaser of PUBG Mobile India which is no longer available. In the current video, we can see Chetan Chandgude aka Kronten Gaming, Jonathan Amaral aka TSMentJONATHAN and Adii Sawant aka Dynamo Gaming whiling away their time and being sad until Bollywood actor Arshad Warsi enters and says, “Batllegrounds Mobile India is here”. On hearing this news, the players finally jump with excitement. In the video, it is also revealed that players will receive rewards like Recon Outfit, Recon Mask, Celebration Expert and 300AG.

Chetan Chandgude aka Kronten Gaming says, “We have been waiting for this, for quite a long time, and we are too excited to get the experience of playing Battlegrounds Mobile India really soon. With the whole community looking forward to the exclusive version, our expectations are high. It is interesting that it is not only the gamers community but even people, in general, are curious about how big this will be in the world of esports. Also, this game will surely fuel the content creators’ community and we will surely witness more and new influencers coming out of this game. I sincerely hope, the virtual world created by Krafton with the new elements makes gaming more adventurous and fun.”

“We are very excited with the news and this brings a great global asset back for the audience in India. The green flag given by the Government of India acknowledges the massive potential the gaming sector holds in uplifting the economy” – Saumya Singh Rathore, Co-Founder, WinZO Games

Sharing almost similar opinion, Jonathan Amaral aka TSMentJONATHAN says, “The journey from becoming a gamer to an influencer has just begun and it will be exciting to see how new gamers will grab this opportunity. The content creator community and esports ecosystem will get the much-needed acceleration in their respective fields with this exclusive game by Krafton. We will also see many high prize pool tournaments coming after the launch of this game.”

Likewise, Adii Sawant aka Dynamo Gaming says, “New challenges, new content, new gamers and new hope for the Indian gaming industry are waiting. We will provide our audience with the best gaming experience with the upcoming game. We are all set for the amazing journey ahead. Waiting for budding creators to step in the world of gaming with Battlegrounds Mobile India.”

Dropping teasers

Teasers also suggest that Battlegrounds Mobile India will most likely be using PUBG Mobile maps. A recent teaser pointed to a map that looked like the default PUBG Mobile map but was named ‘Erangle’ instead of Erangel. Previous teasers had also shown maps that look like popular PUBG Mobile maps Sanhok and Miramar. Another teaser released on social media platforms reveal that the Battlegrounds Mobile will offer a backpack to gamers just like PUBG Mobile. The teaser reveals that the battle royale game will include a PUBG Mobile level 3 backpack. In fact, the backpack shown in the latest teaser looks exactly like the one offered in the global version of the game. Backpack is one of the most important in-game items that any battle royale game offers. It is used to collect weapons and other items safely.

“Within a few hours of the launch of the first teaser on their official YouTube channel, it saw 20M+ organic views. This is only a teaser into the kind of traction the arrival of the game will experience once it is launched in the country. The multiplayer game has been further personalized and designed as an Indian Avatar of the original game offering a world-class multiplayer game. We at WinZO are exhilarated by this relaunch and will be closely monitoring the following announcements,” says Saumya.

The size of Battlegrounds Mobile India is said to be much smaller than that of PUBG Mobile. While the size of the PUBG Mobile file was close to 1GB, the size of the Battlegrounds Mobile India file is around 610 MB. Additionally, there are chances that the game won’t support cross-server matchmaking, since it is an India-specific one and doesn’t fall under the PUBG Mobile universe. This means that people will be able to conduct matches with other people from India only. Their data will also be stored on the Indian servers.

Expectations too high

Such is the craze of this game catching up that on June 3, within a span of two weeks, around 20 million users had pre-registered for the upcoming online multiplayer battle royale game, Krafton revealed. According to the firm, Battlegrounds Mobile India had recorded 7.6 million pre-registrations on its opening day alone.

“We would like to express our sincere gratitude to our Indian fans for their overwhelming response to the Battlegrounds IP, first developed by me and my team in 2017,” said CH Kim, CEO of Krafton. “The Battlegrounds IP received love and acclaim from players worldwide, and Krafton will continue to build on the IP. That effort includes bringing amazing content to Battlegrounds Mobile India, and providing an incomparable battle royale experience to our players,” he added.

With this announcement, the entire gaming fraternity is celebrating, right from fans to gamers to the esports industry. While the official dates are yet to be revealed, the industry speculates that the game might launch on June 18.

How Airtel became a magnet for digital talents?

Here’s an interesting fact: In the last two years, Airtel has scaled up headcount across its digital verticals by 150%. This massive talent ramp up is rooted in Airtel’s strategy of in-sourcing a large part of its digital processes in order to build products with much sharper customer focus. Over half of Airtel’s India business today flows through its digital channels as customers and partners look for frictionless and intuitive experiences on the go.

Today, Airtel is amongst the largest digital innovation factories in India with over 1,600 people working on cutting edge platforms and technologies. That’s already over 10% of its India workforce and the company continues to hire digital talent at a breakneck speed.

During the recent investor call, Gopal Vittal, MD and CEO, Bharti Airtel, said that some of the talents Airtel has been able to acquire has come from around the world from the best companies including large technology and internet companies.

Adarsh Nair, Chief Product Officer, joined Airtel after having spent close to two decades in the US with top tech companies. Pradipt Kapoor, Chief Information Officer, has come from Merck UK. Talents from Silicon Valley or from India’s leading startups and of course premier engineering colleges and B-schools are coming to be a part of Airtel’s digital innovation.

So, why should top talents choose Airtel over a technology company or startup? The answer lies in two things. The Unique Opportunity and the Culture of Empowerment at Airtel.

Let’s talk about the Unique Opportunity first. Telcos are the core of all things and that makes them a hub for some of the most exciting digital innovation. And Airtel has been pioneering digital transformation to serve over 340 mn plus customers in a digitally connected India. That’s on a scale that’s equal to the population of USA.

Wynk Music, India’s #1 music streaming app, and other apps like Airtel Thanks and Airtel Xstream have all been fully built in-house by Airtel. There are over 200 mn MAUs across these apps. This is amongst the highest in India.

Teams of engineers and data scientists (including ex-NASA talent) at Airtel X Labs have built AI enabled chat bots that will talk to customers in over 12 Indian languages and solve their service requests. When a customer walks into any Airtel store, the retailer uses his Airtel Mitra app to click a pic of the customer, his ID proof and the entire onboarding happens digitally (zero paper) in a matter of a few minutes. Or take the case of Airtel IQ, which Airtel’s digital and network teams built together, to help businesses connect with customers securely. So, every time you order food from Swiggy or hail a cab, Airtel IQ enables businesses communicate with customers in a privacy safe fashion. Just a few of the exciting digital innovations at Airtel.

That’s the kind of India-first digital platforms people get to build when they come at Airtel. Work on cutting-edge technology and build for global scale and not just a few million. This is an opportunity that perhaps only Airtel has to offer.

And then comes the Airtel Culture. Despite being a very large organization, Airtel has the heart of a startup. From its open-offices to providing full empowerment to its people, Airtel let’s people grow fast and invests in their development.

Bengaluru-based consumer lifestyle technology brand RAEGR has launched an audio accessory for media, YouTube and music professionals – the Vocalz 250 Mic Kit. The audio kit consists of a high-fidelity condenser microphone and is equipped with an adjustable suspension scissor arm, a metal shock mount and a double-layer pop filter for studio recordings and broadcasting needs.

“The pandemic has forced many audio professionals to work from home, but most of them lack the required audio gear and environment that the studio provides. The RAEGR Vocalz 250 Mic Kit helps bring the studio home, almost. It comes in handy with studio-class audio processing performance with a condenser microphone, and is best suited for professionals who need a high-fidelity mic for talking, singing, podcasting, vlogging, YouTube reviews, or broadcasting,” said Ajesh George, MD, RAEGR.

The RAEGR Vocalz 250 is not an ordinary microphone for the masses. It features a built-in high-fidelity audio processor that helps with studio-class audio performance and works with your laptop, tablet or smartphone too. The condenser mic has been designed to capture the details, nuances, and articulation with a high sampling rate, extended dynamic range, and a smooth frequency response. It offers richer and crystal-clear audios for live streams, podcast, YouTube videos, voice-over, meetings, gaming, singing and more.

The mic kit exhibits studio-class recording features wherein background noise is greatly eliminated due to the cardioid pickup pattern that only focuses sound sources directly in front of the microphone. Additionally, a pop filter with double mesh layering and a foam mic windscreen help reduce subtle plosive and wind sound for flawless recordings. And lastly, the metal shock mount helps eliminate those unwanted vibrations and accidental table disturbances that could ruin your recordings.

Installing and setting up the RAEGR Vocalz 250 is child’s play. Simply unfold the tripod, secure the bottom knob to a table and attach the microphone to it. The 180-degree flexible design allows you to adjust the microphone to any angle as you want. The all-steel scissor arm stand is sufficient for holding the entire setup steady and is fully adjustable with tension knobs to keep it in place.

The RAEGR Vocalz 250 Condenser Mic Kit will be available on Amazon and Flipkart for a price of Rs 3,499.
