  • Lessons from the Past and Present

    By Ashwin Bhadri, Founder and CEO of Equinox Labs

    Air pollution has become one of India’s most serious challenges in the past years, with cities like Delhi often ranking as the most polluted in the world. The year 2024 had seen some of the worst air quality levels on record, leading to public health crises and economic losses.

    Air Quality Over Three Decades

    India’s air quality has worsened significantly over the past 30 years due to rapid urbanisation, industrialisation and an increase in vehicle emissions. Between 1998 and 2021, average annual PM2.5 concentrations rose by about 67.7%. This rise has been particularly worse in urban areas due to population density and industrial activity making pollution worse.

    Delhi has become a symbol of the crisis. Estimated PM2.5 concentrations in the city increased from 81 µg/m³ in 1998-1999 to 119.7 µg/m³ in 2010-2019, with only small improvements to 115.0 µg/m³ in 2020-2021. These figures are far higher than the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) safe limit of 5 µg/m³, putting millions of people at risk of respiratory and heart diseases.

    Firecrackers and Air Quality

    In November 2024, despite a government ban on firecrackers, widespread use during the Diwali festival caused air quality levels in Delhi to reach hazardous levels. PM2.5 concentrations rose to more than seven times the WHO’s safe limit, sparking public outrage and overwhelming healthcare services. That same month, Delhi overtook Lahore as the world’s most polluted city, with an Air Quality Index (AQI) of 515.

    Policy Efforts and Their Limitations

    India has introduced several measures including the National Clean Air Programme (NCAP). This aimed to cut particulate pollution by 20-30% by 2024 in cities that failed to meet air quality standards. Delhi tried implementing vehicle rationing schemes, banning diesel generators and setting up smog towers. However, smog towers and outdoor purifiers have not made a noticeable difference in overall air quality. Critics argue that these are temporary fixes that do not tackle root causes like emissions from vehicles, industries and agricultural practices.

    Health System Strain and Public Awareness

    During times of high pollution, hospitals in Delhi see a sharp rise in patients with respiratory issues like asthma and Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Children, the elderly and people with pre-existing health conditions are especially vulnerable. The strain on healthcare facilities highlights the urgent need for lasting solutions rather than quick fixes. Public awareness campaigns have helped draw attention to the problem and support measures to reduce pollution. However, changing behaviour on a large scale is still a challenge. For example, even though many people know how harmful firecrackers are, their use during Diwali continues to cause serious pollution spikes.

    Strategies for a Cleaner Future

    India needs stronger policy enforcement to ensure regulations are effectively applied to solve its air pollution crisis. This includes stricter penalties for stubble burning, emissions violations and ignoring construction dust controls. Transitioning from coal-based power to renewable energy sources like solar and wind can significantly reduce industrial emissions. Policies encouraging the use of clean energy must be sped up. Sustainable urbanisation must be encouraged, with city planning focusing on green spaces, efficient public transport and pedestrian-friendly infrastructure to cut vehicle emissions.

    India’s air pollution will depend largely on the combined efforts of policymakers, industry leaders and the public. The challenges faced by the public are huge and there is also great potential for change. India can work towards a future with cleaner air by adapting well-planned and long-term solutions. Air pollution currently faced by India is not just an environmental issue but a public health crisis and economic challenge.

  • Securing the present and future of wearables in the workplace

    Smartwatches have gone from somewhat of a splurge to quite common or perhaps even essential, with various studies showing that anywhere from roughly a quarter to nearly half of Americans now own one.

    From tracking steps and workouts to staying connected on the go, people of all ages and fitness levels can benefit from the convenience and sense of wellness that a smartwatch provides. Wearables are entering the workplace to help power employee wellness programs that promote work-life balance.

    All sounds great, right? There’s just one concern to address, and it’s an important one: enterprise security. As more devices are added to a company’s network, IT teams need to be able to manage and monitor those devices in tune with the rest of the company’s technology infrastructure. Recognizing both the need and the challenge, Samsung announced in August 2024 that its Knox Manage solution now works with Samsung’s latest wearables, including Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra featuring Galaxy AI.*

    What is Samsung Knox?

    Samsung Knox is a defense-grade mobile security platform built directly into Samsung devices, providing protection at both the hardware and software levels. Knox delivers multi-layered security to safeguard sensitive business and personal data, starting with the secure boot process and continuing through encryption, app management, secure access, and more.

    Knox includes a full suite of solutions that cover a device’s entire lifecycle. For example, Knox Vault helps isolate critical data, while Knox E-FOTA enables seamless, controlled firmware updates. There’s also Knox Mobile Enrollment, which makes mass deployment more streamlined and secure, and Knox Manage, which we’ll discuss in the next section. Samsung Knox provides a wide range of robust security controls.

    What is Knox Manage?

    Knox Manage is Samsung’s enterprise mobility management (EMM) solution designed to give IT administrators granular control over their organizations’ mobile devices. It enables remote management, allowing IT teams to monitor and enforce policies across various devices, including smartphones, tablets and wearables. Centralized control helps keep devices secure, compliant with company standards, and functioning optimally without requiring physical access.

    Knox Manage simplifies complex tasks like remote app installation, wiping devices and applying updates. The platform integrates with existing systems, providing flexibility for businesses using third-party mobile device management solutions and allowing them to oversee large deployments seamlessly. Businesses can maintain high levels of security, even in environments where personal and work data live on the same device.

    How does Knox Manage work for the future of wearables in the workplace?

    With Knox Manage, wearables can integrate seamlessly into a company’s mobile ecosystem, allowing IT administrators to monitor and enforce security policies on each device remotely.

    Once a compatible Galaxy wearable is enrolled in Knox Manage, the administrator can configure settings, deploy apps, and control features from a centralized console. This includes restricting certain apps, managing Wi-Fi and Bluetooth access, or even wiping data if a device is lost or compromised. The game-changer, though, is the ability to separate work and personal data so that sensitive corporate information stays secure even if employees use their smartwatches for personal purposes.

    Knox Manage also supports real-time monitoring of devices, giving admins insight into how each wearable is being used and whether policies are being adhered to. With regular security updates and support for remote firmware management, smartwatches are no longer low-hanging entry points for cyberattacks. Instead, they become secure, integrated tools within the broader business environment.

    Connected. Empowered. Protected.

    Galaxy Watch7 and Galaxy Watch Ultra each bring so many benefits to the workplace. Galaxy Watch7 has a sleek design for everyday use, combining AI-powered health tracking and productivity tools that seamlessly integrate into anyone’s day-to-day routine. It’s a great choice for employees who want a reliable wearable throughout their workday.

    Galaxy Watch Ultra adds advanced features for more demanding workouts and environments. Its rugged build helps it handle tougher conditions, while the extensive health metrics — including VO2 max and advanced recovery tracking — cater to more fitness-focused users. It also has extended battery life, up to 100 hours of typical use on a single charge, and can even be used in standalone mode (no need for a companion phone).

    Both watches, now supported by Knox Manage, help companies encourage employee wellness and enable mobile productivity, without compromising security. Everyone’s happy — and healthy.

    Learn more about the present and future of wearables in the workplace and how you can take your health tracking to the next level. If you’re not currently an Android or Galaxy user, make sure to try Galaxy for Work on your current device today.

    *Galaxy AI features by Samsung will be provided for free until the end of 2025 on supported Samsung Galaxy devices.

    The arrested person was identified as Colin Gray.

    Gray has been arrested with four counts of  Involuntary Manslaughter, two charges of  Second Degree Murder and eight of  Cruelty to Children, said the Georgia Bureau of Investigation (GBI).

    Meanwhile, his son Colt Gray was charged with four counts of felony murder in connection to the shooting at Apalachee High School, an incident which left the country shocked.

    “He was taken to the Gainesville Regional Youth Detention Center. Additional charges are expected,” GBI said in a statement.

    He is expected to be produced in court on Friday.

    Gun as holiday present

    Before the charges against Colin Gray were announced Thursday, two law enforcement sources with direct knowledge of the investigation told CNN that the father informed authorities that he purchased the AR-style rifle used in the Apalachee High School shooting as a holiday present for his son in December 2023.

    Investigation is ongoing

    GBI said the investigation into the shooting at Apalachee High School is still active and ongoing.

    Victims identified

    Two students and two teachers died in the shooting incident in the school which is located in Winder city.

    GBI identified the two deceased students as Mason Schermerhorn (14) and Christian Angulo (14).

    The teachers, who lost their lives in the shooting incident, were identified as Richard Aspinwall (39) and Cristina Irimie (53).

    This was the 45th mass shooting in a US school in 2024.

    It was the deadliest shooting incident since March 2023 when six people died after a gunman attacked The Covenant School in Nashville.

    In a statement, US President Joe Biden earlier said: “Jill and I are mourning the deaths of those whose lives were cut short due to more senseless gun violence and thinking of all of the survivors whose lives are forever changed. What should have been a joyous back-to-school season in Winder, Georgia, has now turned into another horrific reminder of how gun violence continues to tear our communities apart.”

    “Students across the country are learning how to duck and cover instead of how to read and write,” he said.

    In his strong message, Biden said such situations could not continue to happen as normal.

    “We cannot continue to accept this as normal,” he said.

    Gun shootings in various schools and colleges across the USA have occurred for the past two decades.

  • Budget 24-25: FM all set to present her 7th Budget with major reforms

    Union Budget

    IANS

    Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is set to present her seventh straight Union Budget on Tuesday that would lay a roadmap for ‘Viksit Bharat’ by 2047. After presenting the Budget, Finance Minister Sitharaman will address a press conference along with the Minister of State for Finance Pankaj Chaudhary, Finance Secretary T.V. Somanathan, Secretaries of Ministry of Finance and Chief Economic Adviser V. Anantha Nageswaran to the government on Tuesday afternoon.

    The Union Budget is likely to focus on supporting consumption via higher allocation for the rural economy, taxation reforms, infrastructure push, thrust on local manufacturing, job and skill creation and an increase in production-linked incentive (PLI) allocation to more labour-intensive sectors. The spotlight would likely be on changes in the income tax structure to benefit taxpayers across all segments and on improving the ease of doing business in the country.

    The Budget could increase capital expenditure and may usher in a more standardised approach to taxation, according to Moody’s Analytics. According to experts, there is a need to infuse investments in districts and rural areas, both for accelerating traditional economic activities as well as the new economy, especially focused on circularity.

    Focusing on creating rural areas as champions of circularity holds significant potential, as overall sustainability becomes a key priority. The Economic Survey 2023-2024 projects India’s GDP growth rate at 6.5 to 7 per cent for 2024-25 as it sees the economy on a strong wicket.

    Union Budget: Markets bet big on defence, capital goods, electronics manufacturing, tourism

    Budget focus

    However, achieving a seven per cent GDP growth rate “is doable” for India despite the global environment has become more challenging since the beginning of the year, according to Chief Economic Adviser Nageswaran.

    The Economic Survey highlights the prevailing strengths of our economy and also showcases the outcomes of the various reforms the government has brought.

    The government’s thrust on capex and sustained momentum in private investment has boosted capital formation growth. Gross Fixed Capital Formation increased by nine per cent in real terms in 2023-24. The Economic Survey 2023-24 has also brought out the importance of non-farm sectors in the growth trajectory of the Indian economy.
