Apollo Tyres is thrilled to announce the release of a heartwarming digital film that not only celebrates the spirit of Engineers’ Day but also underscores the invaluable contributions of engineers in our daily lives. Titled “Engineers: The Driving Force,” this film promises to be a delightful and enlightening experience for viewers.

In a society that often takes the marvels of modern machinery for granted, “Engineers: The Driving Force” takes us on a captivating journey into the heart of a state-of-the-art tyre factory. Through a fun and light-hearted narrative, the film brings to life the often-forgotten world of engineers who craft these intricate machines. As the first shift ends, the factory springs to life with the machines themselves taking center stage.

The film showcases a comical conversation among the machines as they humorously argue that they do all the hard work while engineers take all the credit. They playfully contend that machines don’t need engineers as much as engineers need the machines. However, as the conversation unfolds, an unexpected incident serves as a poignant reminder that engineers are, indeed, the true driving force behind these remarkable creations.

This digital film is a heartfelt tribute from Apollo Tyres to all the engineers who diligently work at their factory and across the nation.

Liquid is a unique collaboration between Tom Dixon and VitrA, bringing the British designer’s philosophy of expressive minimalism to the bathroom.

The contrast and definition are delivered via a supporting cast of solid taps, showering solutions, and iconic accessories. Expressive in function and instinctive in use, the comprehensive collection encompasses enduring ceramic silhouettes and shapely brassware and showers – an integrated system offset by harmonious furniture.

The bones of this collection are the all-white ceramics, offset with signature chunky brassware in either gloss black or classic chrome finish – a quintessential and timeless core aesthetic for the bathroom. However, you choose to use it, Liquid is the foundation of a truly personal bathroom.

Extending sculptural ceramics beyond the traditional realms of basins and sanitaryware, the collection includes the unusual feature of a rotund, moulded ceramic stool – for use in the shower or anywhere else in the home.

Introduction

New-age technologies such as Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) have had a profound impact across industries, and the stock trading sector has been no stranger to their success. Today, several online trading platforms have integrated these technologies to enable task automation, improve decision-making, and generate new insights that allow new and experienced traders a fair chance at succeeding in the financial markets. AI-powered platforms like Zerodha, Shoonya by Finvasia, Angel One, Groww, Upstox, among others have heralded a new paradigm shift in trading, making stock markets more accessible for more people to participate in, while leveraging technology to enhance their overall experience. Here, we take a brief look at the future trends and innovations of AI that are expected to transform the landscape of stock trading to improve it further.

Increasing use of Machine Learning Algorithms

As AI technology advances, ML algorithms continue to play a vital role in analysing vast amounts of data and making predictions in online stock trading. These algorithms learn from past patterns, identify trends, and make more accurate predictions about market movements.

Natural Language Processing

NLP allows computers to understand and interpret human language. In the context of online stock trading, NLP can be used to analyse news articles, social media posts, and financial reports to extract valuable insights that can inform investment decisions.

Robo-advisory becomes mainstream

Robo-advisors are AI-powered platforms that provide automated investment advice based on an individual’s goals and risk tolerance. They are gaining popularity due to their low fees and ability to offer personalised recommendations without human intervention.

Trading Bots

AI-powered trading bots are designed to execute trades automatically based on predefined strategies or market conditions. These bots can analyse real-time data from various sources and quickly execute orders with minimal human intervention.

Better Risk Management with AI

Risk management is a crucial aspect of successful stock trading. Enhanced data analysis capabilities will be used by traders to analyse historical data, detect patterns, predict potential risks, and help make informed decisions regarding portfolio diversification or hedging strategies.

Enhanced Fraud Detection

Online stock trading platforms face challenges related to fraud detection and prevention. With the help of AI technology, these platforms will be able to detect suspicious activities in real-time by analyzing transactional data for anomalies or unusual patterns.

Application of Deep Learning Techniques

Deep learning is a subset of machine learning that uses neural networks with multiple layers for complex pattern recognition tasks. In online stock trading, deep learning techniques can be applied for tasks such as sentiment analysis or predicting market trends based on historical price movements.

Expansion of AI-driven Chatbots

Chatbots are already being used in various industries for customer service purposes. In online stock trading, AI-driven chatbots will be able to assist investors by providing real-time market information, answering queries about investments, or even executing trades through voice commands or text messages.

The continued evolution of AI in trading poses new possibilities and unique opportunities that were unprecedented before the advent of the technology. It opens horizons for both investors and financial institutions, enabling heightened efficiency and informed choices. It will be interesting to track the developments and transformations that this advanced technology begets, as the future of AI-powered stock trading dawns upon seasoned and new-age traders alike.

16th Sept 2023, New Delhi: The Services Export Promotion Council (SEPC), in collaboration with the Consulting Engineers Association of India (CEAI), successfully hosted a one-day Conclave on “Global Services Export Conclave on Engineering and Environmental Services: Sustainable Energy, Transportation, and Infrastructure” on September 15th, 2023, at Hotel Le Meridien, New Delhi.

The event commenced with welcome remarks by Mr Abhay Sinha, Director-General of SEPC. The special address was delivered by the esteemed Chief Guest, Shri Piyush Goyal, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Textiles.

Shri Piyush Goyal, Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Consumer Affairs, Food & Public Distribution, Textiles addressed the conclave by congratulating all engineers on the Engineer’s Day celebrated on the 15th of September. He said, “Such celebrations on this day as a conference truly reflects why and how we can best leverage the fact that we have a day dedicated and celebrated as Engineer’s Day. We must celebrate our success and at the same time find intelligent and smarter ways to integrate in the global economy.

This leveling up I believe is needed in the engineering sector as well. As engineers, I urge you to now reflect on how to go to the next step. The time has come for our engineering sector to have levels of engineers like generalists, specialists and a skilled workforce that supports them. Once we have this complete eco-system in place, we will be able to achieve the 100 billion dollars target on engineering services, design, construction and R&D by 2030. Identify countries where there are restrictive practices where they don’t give Indian talent the opportunity to bid or to participate and the government can sort that to ensure international growth.

There comes a time in the development journey of every country when the country defines itself afresh and pushes toward new resolutions. Today that time has come. We need to now aim to go international and the FTAs are opening doors to the services sector as well. Our negotiations of the FTAs also reflect that we are getting the best deals for our stakeholders, and it should be a win-win for both countries. The services sector has seen 55% growth in just 2 years and that is a remarkable approach.

We need to think smart, go global and seamlessly merge into international systems. We need to collaborate with stakeholders worldwide and grab opportunities for the sector.”

The Conclave witnessed some very distinguished speakers. The Conclave brought together key industry players, government officials, subject matter experts, and dignitaries. The objective was to identify growth opportunities, address challenges, and strategise methods to leverage India’s capabilities in the Engineering, Construction, and Environment services sectors. The primary goal was to create an action plan that would facilitate the growth of Indian companies in the export of services.

The significance of this conclave lies in its efforts to enhance engineering export services to diverse countries. To achieve this, it was imperative to inform stakeholders about available opportunities, understand their challenges, and determine the support required from government ministries to expand globally.

The Conclave featured several curated sessions, including Consulting Opportunities for Indian Companies, Emerging Business Opportunities in Consultancy Services Funded by Multilateral Funding Agencies, India’s Differentiated Offering for Global Markets: Sustainable Energy, Transportation & Infrastructure, Experiences, Issues, and Challenges in Doing Business in the Global Environment (Sustainable Transportation) and Emerging Global Opportunities in Sustainability & Energy Transition with Specific Reference to India’s Role in Shaping the Journey.

Addressing the conclave in his Vote of Thanks, Mr Karan Rathore, Vice Chairman, SEPC shared, “This conclave has provided an unparalleled opportunity for networking and knowledge exchange, with attendees gaining insights from prominent speakers, thought leaders, and experts during insightful panel discussions and interactive sessions. The Global Services Export Conclave exemplifies India’s commitment to promoting sustainable energy, transportation, and infrastructure services. As we work towards a more connected and greener world, together, we are defining a roadmap for growth that will benefit businesses and contribute to India’s global prominence.”

Mr. Abhay Sinha, Director General, SEPC, while welcoming the conclave in his address thanked the Ministry for their valuable and continuous support towards the services sector and SEPC. He added, “India’s services sector is the powerhouse of our economy, and it plays a pivotal role in our global positioning. It will not only enhance our presence on the global stage but also set a roadmap for sustainable growth, benefitting both our nation and the global community. SEPC as an organization has played a catalytic role in widening the perspective towards the services sector in India. India is moving ahead in all services streams and in the engineering sector we are the largest producers of engineers. So many projects which have been undertaken by Indian companies globally have helped build India’s position in the world. it reflects the commendable efforts by the engineering community. We thank them. I take this opportunity to welcome distinguished panels and speakers who would be sharing insights on how to work towards grabbing more opportunities in the engineering sector globally and how to address the challenges.

India, 15th September, 2023 – PatSeer, a leading Indian AI-driven B2B SaaS platform for Intellectual Property (IP) Research and Intelligence is excited to announce a completely new and rebuilt semantic search powered by an advanced GPT-driven language model. The new semantic search replaces its older Natural Language search capabilities in the product by custom-training the underlying LLM model to understand patent semantics. PatSeer’s new AI search feature brings a significant improvement in result accuracy on tests conducted across various research sectors, further solidifying their presence as a global company which caters to prominent blue chip firms in India and abroad. PatSeer is also the platform of choice for the Indian Patent Office for their day to day patent examination activities.

With this new development, patent professionals are no longer confined to the contextuality limitations of Boolean searches and can capitalise on PatSeer’s AI capabilities for comprehensive searches. As a platform that’s used by thousands of IP searchers on a daily basis, PatSeer’s complex Boolean search functionality will continue to remain crucial for certain IP projects. However now, with the integration of the new semantic search, PatSeer is offering the best of both worlds, eliminating the need for two separate systems.

Further, with a true Boolean and AI integration, users get unique capabilities that neither can provide independently. For example, one can initiate a semantic search and narrow the results iteratively with Boolean searches and vice versa. It also allows for the semantic re-ranking of Boolean results using a paragraph or a relevant patent. The system also suggests related records to existing results based on the underlying language model’s contextual understanding. For transparency purposes, users can view the closest matching snippets from full text to understand why a record scored higher in their results. The new semantic search is also immediately available as an API for integration into internal systems.

“In the many conversations with patent professionals, I’ve been told that Boolean and AI-based patent systems will always be separate tools and I could never accept that,” remarked Manish Sinha, Founder and Chief Technology Officer at PatSeer. “I’m excited to debunk that notion today. PatSeer has become the first to offer a seamless fusion of transformative AI-driven search within a professional patent search database. The days of maintaining access to two separate solutions or paying by the query are over. At PatSeer our commitment to harnessing the power of Deep Learning AI to tackle greater challenges remains stronger than ever. Following the launch of our AI Classifier last year, the advent of our new Semantic Search marks another significant milestone in this journey. We are quite excited with the possibilities here and the road ahead.”

With a commitment to remain at the forefront of AI-driven solutions, PatSeer is paving the way for the future of patent research. PatSeer offers IP experts worldwide patent search with AI technology, faceted filtering, advanced analytics for comprehensive IP business intelligence, an intuitive user experience, and optimised workspaces, and leads the charge in utilising AI within IP research and analysis tools. It aims to establish itself as the pioneer in addressing significant challenges in the field by offering customised AI solutions tailored to meet its clients’ unique needs.
