Why SAP is training 15000 Indian engineers on new technologies

SAP has collaborated with an Indian state government to offer skill development program. The initiative is planned to train the engineering students on technologies like AI, IoT, and blockchain.

With the adoption of emerging technologies, it has become increasingly difficult to find jobs. State and central governments are collaborating with tech companies to create jobs in relevant technologies. SAP has collaborated with Karnataka government’s Department of Information Technology, Biotechnology and Science & Technology (ITBT and S&T).

The collaborative plan is to support train 15,000 people on emerging technologies like IoT, blockchain and AI. The initiative called ‘Yuva Yuga’ has been announced by the Department of ITBT for the same. The idea is to train the youth across multiple industries for free. The program is designed to fill the skills gap that has been created in the job market today.

The initiative is far beyond the terms of re-skilling. SAP wants to not only just offer training lectures but also provide access to technology and industry experts. SAP Lab India’s MD, Dilipkumar Khandelwal has further assured that SAP will help in employing at least 50% of the trained people.

Indian education system produces 1.5 lakh engineers each year. The problem is that these graduates don’t possess the required skills to get the job. Salma K Fahim, the director fo ITBT said, “We see the industry actively participate and help fill gaps in the skill sets of students to make them industry ready and employable.”

Karnataka state government has always been a pioneer in offering the training programs to the young graduates. Even earlier, the Ministry of Skill Development & Entrepreneurship had offered a two-year Advance Technical Diploma along with IBM. Students were offered a five-month paid internship at IBM post this training. If SAP helps the government in creating the employment opportunities, the company will end up creating 7500 new jobs.

Paytm eyes Rs 60,000 crore from interbank transactions

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). UPI and IMPS are run by the National Payments Corporation of India(NPCI) and facilitate real-time interbank transactions. “We have simplified the product for the users allowing them to transfer funds by using the wallet or any connected bank account,” said Deepak Abbot, senior vice president at the SoftBank- and Alibaba-backed company. “We are trying to promote this product for all recurring payments like tuition fees, rent payments, and others…” Adding this feature to the platform is a significant de...

H4 visa issue: Is Trump administration confusing Indian techies?

The Trump administration decided to delay the decision regarding H4 visa. This is supposed to be a good news, but it has nothing but confused the Indian techies working in the US. The department of homeland security (DHS) deferred issuing the proposal to restrict work permits for H4 dependent visas. The decision was supposed to be taken by February 28 but it has now been delayed to the end of June 2018. The move comes just a few days after the Trump administration announced increased scrutiny for H-1B visa approvals, making it rather confusing for existing H-1B holders. Indian families are largest beneficiaries of H-4 visas. H-1B visa holders that move to the US with their spouses can apply for work permit for their spouses. The provision of H-4 visa has helped many Indian H-1B holders find work for their spouses. The department of homeland security (DHS) was planning to issue the proposal to restrict work permits for H-4 visa holders. The government led by the former...

H-1B: Work permit uncertainty cause worry among spouses of visa holders

In recent times, most of the people who came to the US legally with a spousal visa, or H-4, allowed to the spouses and wives and husbands of those who have H1-B, or high tech, visas, are much delighted and cried with euphoria as soon they heard that they would be able to get a work permit. Although H4 visas did not permit a person to work in the US – until 2015, when the Obama rule empowered a regulation that opened the route for several people with spousal visas to get permits, well-known as employment authorization documents (EAD). The help of H-4 visa holders hasn't kept going long, in any case. Bishen and mates who got the work approvals are presently in limbo since the Trump organization showed it intends to end the program this year. In the event that that occurs before they can get new work grants, life partners of H-1B holders in the Seattle region should choose whether to quit working in the United States or leave the nation. However, this relief of H-4 visa-ho...
