  • Empowering mobile workforces: The role of Galaxy A15 in healthcare, banking, retail and hospitality

    In industries with a mobile workforce, employees must stay connected and productive while on the move — and smartphones can provide the performance, features and convenient form factor they need.

    With a smartphone in hand, workers in healthcare, banking, retail and hospitality can wirelessly access necessary applications and data. They can communicate and collaborate with their colleagues, serve their customers and complete tasks, regardless of their location.

    In fact, according to an IDC report, more than two-thirds of U.S. enterprises deploy multiple mobile devices per employee to enhance worker productivity, increase revenue and improve customer satisfaction.

    Organizations in different industries can benefit from equipping employees with smartphones, such as Samsung’s Galaxy A15 5G. This affordable, secure and easy-to-manage mobile device offers fast performance and long-lasting battery life.

    Improving healthcare and enabling remote patient monitoring

    Smartphones are prevalent in healthcare. Physicians and nurses use mobile devices like Galaxy A15 for real-time patient monitoring, resulting in improved patient care and cost savings.

    In fact, according to a recent study in the Health Informatics Journal, more than 80% of physicians use smartphones for their clinical practice.

    Smartphones enable physicians to access electronic medical records, order diagnostic tests or prescriptions, and use them for decision support, telehealth meetings, and documentation, including dictation of patient reports.

    Galaxy A15 smartphone has a 2GHz or 2.2 GHz processor, 5G speeds, and 4GB to 8GB of RAM, ensuring doctors and nurses can access applications and data fast. Its Super AMOLED 6.5-inch display with up to 800 nits brightness, a 90Hz refresh rate and low blue light reduces eye strain.

    Camera improvements also ensure clinicians can take high-quality pictures and videos to make a diagnosis, monitor disease or treatment progress, and seek advice from colleagues. Galaxy A15 offers a three-lens rear camera system, including a 50MP main camera, a 5MP ultra-wide camera, and a 2MP macro lens. Galaxy A15 also features a 13MP front camera for high-quality video if doctors need to do telehealth visits with their patients.

    Galaxy A15, with Bluetooth support, enables at-home remote patient monitoring. Medical teams can remotely track patients by equipping them with A15s and Bluetooth-enabled devices, such as consumer wearables, pulse oximeters, and blood pressure and glucose monitors. This allows clinicians to remotely check their patients’ vital signs and intervene if their health changes.

    Increasing productivity and efficiency for bank employees

    Bank employees increasingly use smartphones to increase their productivity and efficiency and improve the customer experience. While banks equip staff with laptops and desktop computers, branch employees prefer to use smartphones or tablets for many of their daily tasks, according to an IDC white paper.

    Galaxy A15’s large 6.5-inch display allows bank employees to multitask and use two apps simultaneously on a split screen. With full high-definition resolution, the content on the screen looks crisp, clear and vibrant.

    That’s important because it allows bank staff to use Galaxy A15 to simultaneously access customer data and research different products and services before an important client meeting. They can also use Galaxy A15 to open new accounts for customers and have them digitally sign the necessary documents.

    With 4GB to 8GB of internal storage (expandable to 128GB), users won’t run out of storage space.

    Enhancing employee and customer experiences in the retail setting

    In the retail sector, smartphone employees can personalize customer experiences on the sales floor, including checking the pricing, availability, and location of products, ringing up customers, and processing payments. If items are out of stock, sales associates can use their smartphones to find the products at other nearby locations or order them online for customers.

    When retail staff are busy assisting customers, smartphone batteries can drain fast. But that’s where the Samsung Galaxy A15’s battery shines. A Galaxy A15 battery can last up to two days on a single charge. And when employees need to charge their phones, Galaxy A15 has Super Fast Charging* capabilities.

    If retail workers are near store windows assisting customers in bright sunlight, Galaxy A15’s high-definition resolution display and enhanced brightness ensure optimal visibility. The screen’s low blue light promotes all-day eye comfort, even during extended usage.

    Strengthening day-to-day hotel operations in hospitality management

    By issuing smartphones to hospitality staff, hotels can improve communication and better manage hotel operations, such as housekeeping and maintenance, resulting in improved guest services and more efficient operations.

    With a Galaxy A15, for example, housekeepers can check their schedules on their mobile phones to see which rooms they need to clean. When they finish cleaning a room, they can mark it as clean, providing supervisors with real-time updates on progress.

    Staff can also manage hotel maintenance on their phones. Managers can create work orders and prioritize requests, while staff can provide real-time updates and send alerts when tasks are completed.

    In both cases, Galaxy A15’s fast processor, ample RAM and 5G speeds allow hospitality staff to access apps and data quickly. The phone’s high-capacity battery and intelligent power management lets employees accomplish all their tasks and still have battery life at the end of their workday.

    Staying secure with Samsung’s Galaxy A15 mobile device

    Security and customer privacy are critical in the healthcare, banking, retail and hospitality industries. Galaxy A15 features a side fingerprint sensor that can only be unlocked by employees’ unique fingerprints.

    Also, for the first time, Samsung is bundling its hardware and software to make it simpler and more cost-effective for organizations in different industries to configure, manage and secure a large fleet of devices.

    Customers who buy Galaxy A15 can also purchase the Samsung Knox security and device management solution all in one package.

    Samsung Knox protects devices from intrusion, malware and malicious threats, while the Samsung Knox Suite is a comprehensive set of cloud-based tools that allow IT departments to remotely deploy, manage, secure and lock down their devices in bulk.

    For example, organizations can deploy Knox E-FOTA to schedule device updates and make sure every device is using the correct version of the Android OS and has all the required firmware updates.

    Furthermore, as part of the bundle, Samsung is expanding the lifecycle of Galaxy A15 from one year to three years, which enables a stable hardware and software platform.

    How your organization can benefit from Galaxy A15

    The Samsung Galaxy A15 5G is a perfect solution for the healthcare, banking, retail and hospitality industries. The affordable, entry-level device features a 6.5-inch display and offers a brighter screen, longer battery life and more storage than its predecessor.

    Organizations in these four industries can use Galaxy A15 for all their needs, from accessing important business apps and scanning barcodes to personalizing customer service and taking mobile payments. Employees can also communicate through email, texting, voice and video chats.

    Nasscom Foundation's Aspirational Districts Programme

    NITI Aayog, Nasscom Foundation to digitally empower one lakh lives in IndiaIANS

    NITI Aayog and Nasscom Foundation on Monday announced their initiative, aligned with the Pradhan Mantri Digital Saksharta Abhiyan, to digitally empowering one lakh lives in India.

    The initiative’s initial phase focuses on bridging the digital divide by providing digital literacy training and access to essential e-governance services across 60 Particularly Vulnerable Tribal Groups (PVTG) blocks.

    The programme will subsequently expand to include all other aspirational blocks. By promoting digital inclusion, this initiative supports the government’s vision of Viksit Bharat, fostering inclusive growth and ensuring that no one is left behind in India’s digital transformation journey.

    The participants will be trained on digital skills encompassing foundational computer skills, cybersecurity, and effective internet usage, enabling participants to confidently navigate the digital world.

    “Technology is the driving force of progress and empowerment in today’s world. To achieve that growth, digital literacy becomes crucial in ensuring that India’s remotest communities, especially the marginalized PVTGs, have the power to pave the way for sustainable growth and prosperity,” said Jyoti Sharma, Chief Executive Officer, Nasscom Foundation.

    NITI Aayog

    “The Aspirational Blocks Programme, in partnership with NITI Aayog, is not just about bridging the digital divide — it’s about deepening democracy and ensuring active participation in shaping the vision of Viksit Bharat,” she added.

    Building on the success of Nasscom Foundation’s Aspirational Districts Programme launched in 2022, focusing on bridging the digital divide across 55 aspirational districts across 23 states through Digital Resource Centres, this initiative continues to demonstrate Nasscom Foundation’s commitment to leveraging technology for social impact, driving progress and empowerment in marginalized regions across India.

    According to the Tribal Development Report 2022, the literacy rate among PVTGs is just 47.7 per cent, far below the national average of 77.3 per cent which makes the scenario of digital growth extremely vital in these communities.

    To address this disparity, nasscom foundation has extended the initiative from aspirational districts to blocks by focusing on communities including women and youth between the ages of 12 and 60, equipping them with essential digital skills and resources to foster holistic growth and inclusion.

  • IIT Madras, Agriculture Ministry to partner on project VISTAAR to empower farmers

    IIT Madras

    IIT MadrasIANS

    The Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras on Thursday announced a collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare on Project VISTAAR, which seeks to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the agricultural extension system through digitalisation.

    The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) signed recently between the Agriculture Ministry and IIT Madras enables them to enrich the VISTAAR platform (Virtually Integrated System to Access Agricultural Resources) with information about start-ups in the agriculture and allied sectors.

    This would enable farmers and other stakeholders in agriculture and allied sectors to be aware of the capabilities and offerings that startups have and easily access them.

    “Agriculture forms the backbone of India’s social and economic rubric. Ensuring a strong agriculture sector therefore becomes a major policy imperative. Start-ups have an important role to play in bringing innovation across the value chain in the agriculture and allied sectors,” said Prof. Thillai Rajan A., Head, the Centre for Research on Start-ups, IIT Madras.

    IIT himalaya mess

    IIT Madras himalaya messWikimedia

    “The startup information platform developed by the Centre for Research on Startups and Risk Financing at IIT Madras along with its incubatee startup YNOS Venture Engine has information about 12,000 start-ups that are connected to the agriculture and farming sectors. This collaboration would bring this rich information within the easy reach of the farmer and contribute to the effectiveness of extension services of the Department of Agriculture and Farmer Welfare significantly,” Rajan added.

    Digitalisation of the existing extension system will expand its outreach substantially and enable every farmer to access high-quality advisory services on crop production, marketing, value, and supply chain management.

    The advisory services will also provide information about all government schemes related to agriculture and allied sectors including rural development from which the farmers can be benefited.

    The process of digitalisation augments the current agricultural extension system by providing timely, contextual, and accurate information and advisories to farmers in agriculture and allied sectors.

    “Innovative technologies of agri-startups contribute towards making agriculture sustainable and climate resilient and therefore connecting the technology of agri-startups with farmers through extension is critical from an access and adoption perspective. The collaboration with IITM would surely pave the way for achieving this objective through VISTAAR DPI for Agriculture Extension,” said Samuel Praveen Kumar, Joint Secretary (Extension), Ministry of Agriculture.

    The Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), aimed at advancing financial inclusion and empowering gig workers, was signed on December 24 at the NSE headquarters in Mumbai.

    Swiggy also announced that it intends to have 100,000 women delivery partners by 2030.

    Amruta Fadnavis, who attended the event as the chief guest, underscored the importance of empowering women in the workforce and emphasised how financial literacy can contribute to their independence and well-being of their families.

    The wife of current Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, Amruta shared inspiring stories of women who have risen from grassroot level. She said ‘women are creators’ and need to stay focused to ensure that their families have a better life.

    Integrated into Swiggy’s flagship initiatives, She the Change and Swiggy Skills, the program is designed to equip the delivery partners with vital financial skills that drive household stability, improve socio-economic outcomes, and contribute to the nation’s financial inclusion agenda.

    Financial literacy has been shown to increase household spending on education and savings by up to 40 percent, with ripple effects on long-term health, productivity, and overall well-being.

    As per Swiggy, this initiative underscores its commitment to the holistic development of its delivery partners and aligns with the company’s sustainability goals to foster community welfare.

    Highlighting their efforts towards inclusivity and upskilling of their delivery partners, Sriharsha Majety, MD & Group CEO, Swiggy shared, “Earlier this year, when we launched ‘She the Change’ programme, honourable Finance Minister Smt. Nirmala Sitharaman Ji made a very pertinent observation when she said that in areas where women are visibly seen to be running more enterprises such as Food and Beverage businesses, crime and anarchy will gradually reduce. I believe that the presence of women delivery partners on the road is an equally positive signal. We, at Swiggy, will do our utmost in this direction; and commit to take the number of women delivery partners to at least 1 lakh by 2030. We will continue to come out with policies and programmes to support this positive change, and our MoU with NSE is a step in this direction.”

    Ashishkumar Chauhan, MD & CEO, NSE, said, “At NSE, we are proud to lead the way in bringing financial literacy and investor awareness programs to the gig workforce, a vital and growing segment of our economy. This partnership with Swiggy reflects our commitment to equipping delivery partners, especially female partners, with the knowledge and awareness of tools needed for financial independence and long-term security. By focusing on financial literacy, we aim to empower gig workers to manage their finances more effectively for their financial well-being. Today’s initiative is another step in NSE’s mission to drive financial inclusion and well-being of people and transform lives through knowledge and empowerment.”

    As part of the event, in a Fireside Chat, Rohit Kapoor, CEO- Food Marketplace, Swiggy, interacted with three women delivery partners. The conversation shed light on their experiences, challenges, and the support they have received through Swiggy’s policies.

    Recognizing their remarkable opportunities, ten women delivery executives, who completed the highest number of orders in 2024, were felicitated during the event. Each recipient was awarded a cheque of INR 11,000 (USD 128), intended to serve as a corpus for their initial investments.

    The program will feature interactive training sessions led by SEBI-certified trainers, covering topics such as budgeting, investments, debt management, and understanding capital markets. The modules will include AV content and will also be available in the DE app. The app-based training modules will also be localised into regional languages for broader reach.
