Mumbai, August 23^rd 2018: BSE Institute Ltd is joining hands with Sasha Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd leading water and infrastructure Services Company that is pioneering the use of Water and Infrastructural best practices and technologies from Israel in India. The objective of the collaboration is to promote startups in the domain of sustainable water-related infrastructure and services. The MOU was signed by Shri Ambarish Datta, MD & CEO – BSE Institute and Shri Romiel Samuel , MD, Sasha Infrastructure, Israel.

The purpose and nature of the water infrastructure investments needs have significantly expanded to Water Supply and Sanitation, flood protection, drought management, and water quality management. Innovative startups can reduce overall investment needs and improve capital efficiency through improving the operational efficiency and effectiveness of existing water infrastructure. This collaboration will focus on driving this innovation in India with the involvement of organizations from Israel who are world leaders in this domain. The initial startups shall be in the field of water well refurbishment, ground water recharge, waste water treatment, etc. which shall create sustainable impact in water tech.

Israel is the leader in water technology in the world. It has perfected the modern-day version of the innovative process of drip irrigation, and since 1959, has taken it to the next level, so much so that other countries, both developed and developing, want a piece of the action. Israel recycles about 87% of its water. The country that has dedicated the greatest resources, innovation, and cultural attention to the problem of water scarcity. Today, it leads the way in solving problems of water supply, spearheading efforts to deal with water leakage, farming efficiency, recycling waste, desalination, pricing policy, and education.

Speaking on this occasion Shri. Ashish Chauhan Managing Director and CEO of BSE Ltd said “The human right to water and sanitation has yet to become a reality for one-third of the global population. 2.1 billion people still do not have access to safe drinking water and 4.5 billion people still lack access to safe water. Poor sanitation, water, and hygiene lead to about 675,000 premature deaths annually. In India as we all know, this is a very critical issue. We believe that startups have a critical role to play in this domain by evolving innovative solutions to address this issue. Israel is a world leader in water related technologies and I’m very excited about the impact that this can make at the ground level. ”

The Consul General of Israel in Mumbai, Mr. Yaakov Finkelstein said “It’s delighting to see India & Israel cooperating once again on this strategic field of water. Water is the most basic and vital resource and we’re using the most advanced technologies to find solutions to water problems. Water-innovation combines the most simple element (-water) with the most advanced technology (-innovation). Similarly, India and Israel represent two ancient civilizations and at the same time maintain a very high standard of science and state-of-the-art technology. So in a way this cooperation is very symbolic, yet very natural and becoming. I’m humbled by the fact that the BSE has chosen Israel as its partner for this important initiative and I’m confident that the fruits of this cooperation will benefit many people in India, Israel and world-wide.”

For businesses and governments in India and around the world, the need for effective Information Management has never been greater. Organizations are inundated with a tsunami of data as information flows in and out of their organizations from disparate sources. Most of this data requires immediate action and therefore is driving businesses to evaluate mechanisms which can help them converge their Information Management strategy with core Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems.

Here are a few trends in the Information Management domain, which will gain traction in the year ahead:

• An integrated approach to dealing with Data (Software, hardware and services): Today, not only businesses, but governments too are overwhelmed with the exponential growth of data. The inability to efficiently capture information from paper-based documents and integrate with digital workflows leads to complexity and lost opportunity. The question for most organizations is not whether to embrace digital transformation, but where to begin. Digital transformation begins with information capture.

Going forward, we see businesses adopting an integrated portfolio of scanners, services and software solutions and doing away with legacy infrastructure, to extract maximum insight from information and route it seamlessly into business processes.

• Increased reliance on paperless processes: Paperwork is an integral part of doing business, but physical paper is not. In fact, reliance on paper documents results in costs, which could be eliminated or at least radically reduced by going paperless. As physical paperwork piles up, so do issues such as;
• Slower time to complete routine tasks that rely on paper as an input
• Increased risk of a security breach through lost or stolen documents
• Potential for data entry errors from manually keying information into systems
• Costs for office or offsite space to store paper documents

For these reasons and more, all kinds of businesses and public agencies are working towards paperless processes. Gradually, organizations are realizing that digitizing much of the content and information flowing through their business can have both financial and operational benefits.

• Enhanced collaboration across platforms: Flexibility has become a business imperative with the upsurge of new technologies, BYOD and more employees working remotely. Keeping this in mind, CIOs will focus on compatibility – the ability to scale and transcend devices and platforms (i.e. the open network) for enhanced collaboration. Integration capabilities will be a basic requirement for any technological implementation.

With businesses adopting a decentralized mode of operation and engagement, it is crucial to have automated tools, which are web-based. This way businesses can integrate and leverage data regardless of where it is created and access it remotely.

• Increased focus on security infrastructure: As mentioned, businesses are adopting multiple platforms and newer technologies in order to enhance collaboration and promote flexibility. But increased interoperability involves at least some risk. In a world of advanced and targeted attacks, security and risk management leaders will look for digital infrastructure that is equipped with the right set of tools to protect organizational data. Adaptive security infrastructure that can manage risks and aid in the delivery of business objectives will at the top of every CIO’s agenda in the upcoming year.

• Intelligent apps: Artificial intelligence (AI) is evolving at a fast pace and is impacting every industry. Going forward, organizations will not only have to invest significantly in AI backed processes and tools, but OEM’s and other vendors will have to design AI-enhanced systems, solutions and applications that address their clients’ business challenges. Enterprises will be looking for technology with intelligent capabilities that increase productivity and improve customer experience.

Many organizations are now embracing the concept of ‘Chief Digital Officer’ as an important senior leadership role, which indicates that enterprises are adopting a digital native mindset and are constantly on a look out for innovative technologies and smart solutions. With “data chaos” now a common phenomenon at the threshold between physical and digital documents, the market is ripe for the next wave of information capture solutions to deliver real world benefits and significantly better business outcomes.
