BHIM has achieved world record with 17 million downloads, says Amitabh Kant
New Delhi [India], Feb 25 (ANI): Talking about the performance of the Bharat Interface for Money (BHIM) app of the government, Niti Aayog CEO Amitabh Kant said that the app has successfully recorded 17 million downloads so far, which is a world record in itself. "BHIM App is doing very well, it got 17 million downloads. It is an active, alert and progressive means of transactions, which requires three easy steps," said Kant. Launched in December last year for fast and secure cashless transactions, the indigenous digital payments app BHIM, enables digital payments through means like mobile wallets, USSD and RuPay that witnessed massive uptake and rise in transactions post demonetisation. "The app initially suffered some glitches due to level of technical failure has been taken care significantly," added Kant while agreeing to the initial problems that the app faced. He added that cash-back and referral schemes through the BHIM app will soon be enforced that will additionally make the transactions easier. On December 30, Prime Minister Narendra Modi launched the app for fast and secure cashless transactions using mobile phones. (ANI)

The Discipline of Delivery Ft. Amitabh Saksena & Sameer Varma

New Delhi [India], February 26: It is easy to be seen in today's business world, but credibility is not. Brand voices have never been louder but amplification alone cannot make a lasting effect. It is execution that makes the difference.For any smooth customer experience, there is an unseen engine of process, infrastructure, and intent. And behind all that is the story of clarity that drives the intent. Today, a brand is no longer defined by what it says in fact it is defined by what it delivers consistently. A market that is becoming impatient and consumers prone to frantic demands of instant gratification compel businesses to think not only about the way they communicate, but also about the way they conduct their business. The process and storytelling intersect at a point of building durable brands.
