What is Embedded Finance? (Contd)

How is Embedded Finance going to change the Fintech World? Global giants like Amazon, Mercedes, IKEA, or Walmart are cutting out the traditional banks, the financial middleman, and plugging in software from start-ups to offer customers everything right from Credit, banking, and insurance. As a result, they have now cracked the code for Finance. Until recently, if an organization wanted to offer financial services, they were required to form a FinTech arm within their business. This included an enormous capital expenditure, which took years to develop and a long time to show profits. Embedded Finance Infrastructure reduces the barriers approximately 10x for digital platforms to natively offer financial services to their customers. Therefore, for the customer, Embedded Finance enables 'native' [...]

What is Embedded Finance?

Embedded Finance a New Paradigm for a New Normal world and how it is Revolutionizing Financial Services. The implanting or embedding of financial services onto non-financial platforms, technologies, or product mechanisms intends to provide financial products to customers right at the source. More and more non-banking companies offer financial services, such as wallets or bank accounts, payments, and lending. The companies' embrace of embedded finance—banking-like services offered by nonbanks—aims to retain customers and increase their lifetime value. Venture capitalists, like Angela Strange at Andreessen Horowitz and Matt Harris at Bain Capital Ventures, for years have encouraged their companies to consider 'embedded finance' as a critical monetization lever, "making every company a fintech company." Embedded finance uses financial tools or services [...]

How do we build a Supply Chain that is Resilient, Robust and Futuristic?

The burning need for Rethinking, Restructuring, and Rebalancing the Risk and building a Resilient Supply Chain Management. Global Supply Chains in a Post-Pandemic Era: The United States-China Trade-war and the supply and demand shocks brought on by the Covid-19 crisis have forced manufacturers to reassess their supply chains. In the foreseeable future, the manufacturers will face pressure to increase domestic production, reduce dependencies on risky sourcing, rethink strategies of lean inventories, just-in-time replenishment, and grow employment in their home countries, which will impede when material shortages arise. The risk facing any particular industry value chain reflects its level of exposure to different types of shocks and the underlying vulnerabilities of a specific organization or in the entire value chain. [...]

What, How, and Why about NFTs (Non-Fungible Tokens)

Everything you need to know about the Non-Fungible Tokens - NFTs, Explained, the latest in the crypto craze. Non-Fungible Tokens (NFTs) is a massive buzzword in the world of cryptocurrency at the moment. In the Crypto world, any object that can be digitally transferred from one person to another is called a 'Token.' Tokens, unlike coins, do not have the privilege of residing on their own blockchain. They depend on an existing blockchain to function and can be assigned a programmable value that can be recorded and maintained using a private key. An example of a token could be the general coins themselves. Bitcoin, Etherium, Litecoin, and many that you probably have heard of, have a value assigned to them [...]

What is Graph Neural Network (GNN)?

Introduction to Graph Neural Networks (GNN) - their need and real-time applications. What is a Graph? A graph is a data structure consisting of two components Nodes (vertices) and Edges in computer science. A graph G can be defined as G=(V, E), where V is the set of nodes, and E are the edges between them. If there are directional dependencies between the nodes, then edges are directed; if not, edges are undirected. Therefore, a graph can represent things like molecules or social media networks. Think of nodes as users and edges as connections. Why is Graph data hard to analyze? Graph data is very complex, that it has created a lot of challenges for existing Machine Learning (ML) algorithms. [...]

What is a Graph Database?

Why Graph Technology is the future? - Graph database explained! History of Graph Database: In the 1960s, navigational databases such as IBM's Information Management System (IMS) supported tree-like structures in its hierarchical model, but the strict tree structure could be circumvented with virtual records. Graph structures could be represented in network model databases from the late 1960s. CODASYL, which had defined COBOL in 1959, described the Network Database Language in 1969. Labelled graphs could be represented in graph databases from the mid-1980s, such as the Logical Data Model. Several improvements to graph databases appeared in the early 1990s, accelerating in the late 1990s with endeavours to index web pages. In the 2000s, commercial graph databases with ACID (Atomic, Consistent, Isolated, [...]

What is SolarWinds Hack?

The SolarWinds Hack - A massive cyber attack in the United States using a novel set of tools. A valuable lesson for Cybersecurity. In 2020, the United States witnessed the biggest ever 'Cyber' intrusion known to-date. The nature and number of affected US Government agencies, particularly the notable US Energy Department, controls the National Nuclear Security Administration; Federal Government networks are unprecedented. Russian agents are the suspects in the 'Orion breach.' The commerce departments and the treasury were both affected; amongst others, many have been breached. The cybersecurity attack and data breach were reported to be among the worst cyber-espionage incidents ever suffered by the US due to the sensitivity and high profile of the targets and long duration (approx [...]

What is the Internet of Behaviour (IoB)?

What is the Internet of Behaviour (IoB) Explained; the benefits and risks of this technology. The Internet of Things (IoT) is no longer a sci-fi flick. The technology that connects any electronic device to the Internet is underway and is already a reality in many fields. The collections of data and usage by the IoT devices provide valuable insights into the users’ interests, preferences, and behaviours, coined as the Internet of Behaviors (IoB). The IoB extends from the IoT, the interconnection of devices that result in a wide variety of new data sources. This is still nascent, but the analysts predict numerous possibilities for using IoB in business, workplace, finance, personal, and so on. Gartner predicts that by year-end 2025, [...]

What is Cybersecurity Mesh?

Cybersecurity Mesh: Security Perimeters around individuals. What is it, and how can it be used in IT Development? According to Gartner, "The COVID-19 pandemic has accelerated the multi-decade process of turning the digital enterprise inside out," We've passed a tipping point — most organisational cyber assets are outside the traditional physical and logical security perimeters. As anywhere operations continue, the technology called "Cybersecurity Mesh," will become the most practical approach to ensure secure access to, and use of, cloud-based applications and distributed data from uncontrolled devices." Therefore, the only foolproof solution to ensure safety and security while accessing information from any device, anywhere, is 'Cybersecurity Mesh.' With remote working becoming the 'New Normal,' the enterprises will be working in a [...]
