Bullet list

• The CRO should have the right mix of education and industry experience and the IRM’s pathway to Fellowship is the gold standard for ERM professionals.
• The CRO should have ‘skin in the game’ on every engagement and be involved in every key decision referred to management. This will ensure the CRO has a ‘seat at the table’ as part of the management committee.
• The CRO should be exposed to various risk management techniques, governance issues, diverse business/services, and risk regulations.
• The CRO should work on building a risk culture across the organisation through Business/Function Risk Officers, thereby creating future leaders who think about breadth aspects in addition to their areas of expertise.
• The CRO should be aware of global developments, industry updates, geopolitics, economic aspects, etc. Strong corporate connections, networking, and a broad reading spread are key.
• The CRO should invest in creating qualified risk champions who are not risk experts but business experts taking risk-based decisions in various departments.

Number list

1. False Urgency: This dark pattern refers to an act of misleading a user into believing that there is a false sense of urgency or scarcity to persuade them to act quickly and make a purchase, e.g. showing false popularity of a product or service to influence a user’s decision. A lot of times, when users are adding products to their cart, there is an instant pop-up stating, “only a few items are left”, when in fact the product remains in stock even after weeks (sometimes even at reduced prices!).
2. Basket Sneaking: This dark pattern is the act of automatically adding extra items like products, services, charitable contributions or donations during the checkout process on a platform without the user’s consent, resulting in an unintended increase in the total amount payable by the user. The most common example being the Rs. 1/- donation, which is automatically added during checking out and does not usually meet the eyes of the customers (given that the addition made to the cart is almost negligible).
3. Forced Action: This dark pattern refers to compelling a user to purchase extra items, subscribe to unrelated services, or share personal information just to access or buy the initially desired product or service. A very common example of ‘Forced Action’, is that of gated websites. There are numerous websites/applications which allow the users to access the information/data only after signing up. These are a means to collect personal data for targeted advertisements, et al.
4. Subscription traps: Also known as a “Roach Motel”, this pattern makes it difficult or impossible for users to cancel a subscription, such as by requiring them to call a customer service number or navigate through a complex maze of menus. There are several applications, which do not show the option of closing or de-activating the account in a straight-forward manner. In a market where every user is not tech savvy or has the patience of going through several steps to de-activate his/her account, the accounts of such users remain active, thereby granting perpetual access to their personal data.

In a lease of life for the INDIA front, a deal has been struck between the Samajwadi Party and Congress on one hand and the Aam Aadmi Party and Congress on the other. But the clincher was the Grand Old Party accepting the fact that it would not be stubborn and was ready to climb down.

Let’s first look at the SP-Congress talks. It took three meetings, a defiant SP and the exit of RLD for the Congress to realise that it would have to be realistic and ready to bend. While Akhilesh Yadav had assured the Congress that he would join the Bharat Jodo Nyay Yatra in either Amethi or Raebareli, he skipped it, upsetting the Congress. To make it worse, Yadav said he would join the Yatra only after seat sharing w

as cleared. He went a step ahead and announced tickets for 11 seats — two of them being those on which Congress had to fight.

India’s retail inflation at 5.09% in February, remains within the RBI tolerance band for sixth straight month

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

The Indian government released the consumer price index data for the month of February on March 12. The consumer inflation stood at 5.09 according to the data published by the Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.

The inflation level continues to remain within the Reserve Bank of India’s tolerance range of 2-6%. The CPI has remained within the RBI tolerance band for six months now.

The Consumer Price Index or CPI measures retail inflation by examining the changes in prices of most common consumer goods and services. CPI is calculated for a fixed list of items including food, housing, apparel, transportation, electronics, medical care, education, etc.

#BREAKING | February #CPI inflation at 5.09% vs CNBC-TV18 poll of 5.12%

According to a poll by CNBC-TV18, CPI in February was projected at 5.12% against 5.1% in the preceding month, a three-month low. The retail inflation stood at a four-month high of 5.69% in December.

February’s core CPI came at 3.37%, the lowest since November 2019, against 3.6% in January. The CNBC-TV18 poll estimated the core inflation at 5.12%.

Akhil Mittal, Senior Fund Manager-Fixed Income of Tata Asset Management, said, “Headline inflation in February 2024 stands at 5.09%, slightly below market expectations of 5% and lower than January’s 5.10%. The major contributor was food inflation, registering at 8.66% against 8.3% in January. Core inflation remains below 3.4%, offering significant reassurance and potentially steering headline inflation closer to the RBI’s 4% target in the long run.

While the RBI has highlighted the risk of food inflation spilling over into broader inflation, we anticipate the regulator to maintain a cautious stance. However, the softening of core inflation should provide relief. We think RBI would rather continue with stability priority and continue maintaining the 4% inflation target as sacrosanct, and hence we do not see a premature easing from RBI.”

Jammu & Kashmir amends industrial development policy to provide incentives to private industrial cluster

KV Prasad Jun 13, 2022, 06:35 AM IST (Published)

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

The Jammu and Kashmir administration has amended its industrial development policy to ensure a slew of benefits to private enterprises willing to set up new industrial clusters in the Union Territory.

As per the revised policy, private developers and upcoming industrial clusters will get benefits such as up to 100% reimbursement of stamp duty on land purchases, change of land use charges, and registration charges.

The amendments in the Jammu and Kashmir Private Industrial Estate Development Policy (PIEDP), 2021-30 were approved by the Administrative Council (AC) chaired by Lieutenant Governor Manoj Sinha on Thursday, an official spokesperson said.

The meeting was also attended by key officials including Advisor Rajeev Rai Bhatnagar and Chief Secretary Atal Dulloo.

This initiative seeks to ensure a fair playing field for private developers and prospective unit holders within these estates, offering comparable incentives at par with those operating from government-owned industrial estates, the spokesperson said.

The government aims to develop approximately 2,000 kanals (250 acres) of land through private industrial estates.

The policy outlines timelines for document issuance by revenue authorities and procedural guidelines for reimbursement of incentives, the spokesperson said.

In cases where the government land is involved in private industrial estates, land allotment will adhere to terms and conditions specified in the J&K Industrial Land Allotment Policy 2021-30, the spokesperson added.

WEF 2024: India will lead the inclusive growth story, says Smriti Irani on ‘Alliance for Global Good’

Listen to the Article (6 Minutes)

As India announced the setting up an ‘Alliance for Global Good – gender equity and equality” on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum 2024 in Davos, Smriti Irani, Union Minister of Women and Child Development, said the country is propelled towards a greater future where no one will be left behind, adding that the alliance is focused on gender, health, education and enterprise.

“Today, India will lead not only in the growth story but in the inclusive growth story,” she said at the announcement of the alliance, which will take forward the commitments of G20 leaders to champion the cause of women-led development.

Union Minister Irani thanked industry partners who agreed to be associated with the initiative over one phone call. It is an indication of the industry’s belief in India, she said.

Her remark comes as the alliance has garnered support from global corporate houses like Mastercard, Uber, and Microsoft to domestic industry leaders like Tata, TVS, Godrej, and Serum Institute of India. The initiative has also roped in over 10,000 partners from the industry through the Indian industry body Confederation of Indian Industry (CII).

Klaus Schwab, Founder and Executive Chairman of World Economic Forum Geneva, also highlighted that the ‘Alliance for Global Good’ comes at a time when there needs to be an emphasis on equality and inclusion.

“When we discussed it with Minister Irani this afternoon, I was so enthusiastic to hear about the new initiative. I immediately said this forum is ready, not only to sponsor it or to endorse it, but to be a strong partner of it.”

The alliance is the brainchild of Prime Minister Narendra Modi and efforts to stitch the alliance together were spearheaded by Smriti Irani. The breakthrough came on the sidelines of the WEF at Davos.

President of Swiss India Chamber of Commerce (SICC) Satish Rao was also present at the alliance announcement and noted that there are more than 330 Swiss companies in India and therefore he was more than happy to leverage this ecosystem.

It must be noted that the alliance will also be supported by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation and has onboarded the World Economic Forum as the ‘Network Partner’ and Invest India as the ‘Institutional Partner’.
