The company gained 396 new enterprise customers in 2017. In an interview with ETCIO.COM,  Ankur Kothari , Co-founder and CRO, Automation Anywhere discusses how the company is making automation accessible to all. Canadian professor Marshall McLuhan, who predicted the internet and the impact it would have, had famously said: As technology advances, it reverses the characteristics of every situation again and again. The age of automation is going to be the age of 'do it yourself.' How is Automation Anywhere aiding automation democratization to make automation accessible to everyone? Let me explain the problem that we are trying to solve. Every enterprise today has hundreds of systems but less 10-15% of the systems can actually talk to each other. Rest of the systems don’t have API’s and don’t talk...

Paytm   is targeting average monthly interbank account transactions of Rs 60,000 crore through its platform by the end of the year, to be achieved through a new feature of bank transfers that the   digital payments   company added to its mobile application. Paytm, which already offers users the option of transferring funds between their mobile wallets, opened up bank transfers using   UPI(Unified Payments Interface) and IMPS (Immediate Payment Service).

There’s little that’s more annoying on the web than videos that start playing automatically and with their volume up. Over the course of the last few years, Chrome and other browser vendors have started to  combat this , but for the most part, those solutions relied on the user explicitly taking action. Now, following the  launch of a similar feature on mobile , Chrome on desktop is also getting much smarter about which sites it’ll allow to autoplay and which it’ll block — and it’ll learn from your behavior to personalize this feature. Google  says a “significant number of autoplays” are paused and muted, or have their tabs closed, within six seconds. I’m actually guessing most people close those tabs faster, but six seconds seems like a good enough measure to know whether a user wanted to hear the sound from a video or not. Going forward, Google will  learn  from your own browsing behavior and learn which sites you’ll want to mute. For users who aren’t ...

We have noted the model of PhonePe, Google Tez and Paytm, whenever there are incentives or cashbacks, the transaction volumes pick up. This is another behavioural change,u201d said a top government official who is aware of the development. The person did not wish to be named. The share of BHIM in total UPI transactions has dropped to 5.75% in February from 40.5% in August last year, according to the latest data from the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which tracks digital transactions in the country. The official said the move to offer cashbacks and incentives is also to encourage more transactions on the BHIM platform and reduce usage of cash. For this, the incentives for merchants for using BHIM-Aadhaar platform will be significantly increased to 0.5% of the transaction value upto Rs 10,000 against the earlier 0.25% of the transaction value of just Rs 2,000. The government admits that the offtake of the earlier scheme for merchants has been low (just a few lak...
