Threat Intelligence

Human beings are irrational. When it comes to choosing convenience over data security, we inevitably ask for convenience. So we save our passwords in our browsers, credit card information on our phone and do much worse.

When that information gets hacked, it rapidly changes hands just like currency note. There is a high chance that your email and password is doing the rounds of the Dark Web.Threat Intelligence can tell you if your hacked email and password is floating around on the surface web, deep web or dark web.

Turn Employees into Brand Ambassadors

Saying "All tweets are personal" and "retweets do not imply endorsement" may sound impressive but it does not prevent the reader from assuming that the organization shares the same belief as the employee.

Thriving In The Gig Economy

Gig economy is a one-sided contract. The employers pay for the time the skills used. But staying updated costs time and money since gig-economy workers do not have access to the Learning & Development departments the way regular employees do, nor do they have the opportunity to build pension funds, medical insurance leave alone wealth creation opportunities like ESOPs. This is where the government needs to create laws that govern gig-workers.The gig economy works great if you have a financial cushion built in. Then it is a great way to explore the hidden talents you never knew you had. But being a gig worker is also full of insecurity, loneliness and income volatility. The unorganized blue collar workers have always lived without the safety net regular work provides.

Imagine a verified version of LinkedIn available without the lies and garnishing rampant today! Blockchain could do all that and revolutionize HR.

Algorithms work with clear defined logic - just what human behavior does not adhere to. You agree with a colleague about a plan and at the last minute, the colleague changes his/her mind. The only way to accomplish that task would be that you try to persuade and convince the colleague. Humanities and social sciences teaches just that.

Employment & employability: India’s dual challenges

98.6% of non-farm businesses have fewer than 10 workers. Entrepreneurs create jobs for themselves and for others. We have to encourage them to scale up. Here are some ideas for Budget 2018:Expand the definition of MSME to be Rs 50 crores.Tax agricultural income beyond Rs 20 lakhs per annum. This can form the fund that can be given to entrepreneurs.21% Indian companies with over $1billion in value have given more than 15% returns on capital.

CES 2018 was like a sequel

Last year Alexa created a stir with its novelty factor. Since then voice has become bigger and continues to grow. Google has the advantage of passing on its AI power through all its Android devices. But Alexa has had a two-year head start in the market. Plus, Alexa offers 10,000+ “skills”. Google’s marketing department was the clear winner having plastered Google Now everywhere. But this is the space to watch. My take on why CES 2018 was just lukewarm... not hot.
