Business News | Countries That Use Technology Responsibly Like India Will Shape Future of Their Respective Banking System: RBI Deputy Governor T Rabi Sankar

Mumbai (Maharashtra) [India], November 10 (ANI): India's experience in digitisation shows that countries that harness technology with foresight and responsibility will not only adapt to change but shape it, T Rabi Sankar, Deputy Governor, Reserve Bank of India, said. Speaking at the 12th SBI Banking & Economics Conclave - 2025 in Mumbai on November 7, excerpts of the speech were released today. He delved into a theme that resonates in the current era of disruptions and rapid change: the role of technology in banking. Also Read | BAN vs IRE 2025: Ireland's Ross Adair Ruled Out of T20Is vs Bangladesh. Every aspect of finance, from payments and credit to savings, investments, regulation and supervision, is already being redefined through technology, he said. "With powerful technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) and quantum computing already under way, our challenge is how to embrace them with wisdom and purpose, and ensure that technological evolution is secure, inclusive, resilient, and future-ready," the RBI Deputy Governor said.

India's uniquely successful model of leveraging Digital Public Infrastructures (DPIs) like Aadhaar or UPI has not only positioned India as a leading example of digitisation, but also it has set an example for other countries to follow, he said. "For transformational change, it is not enough that technology is ubiquitous, it should also be foundational," he added. If one look's back today, he said one would see that India's banking system has passed through two-and-a-half decades of innovations in payment technology - starting from ATM networking and moving through a gamut of retail and wholesale digital payment instruments like RTGS, NEFT and IMPS to the game-changing UPI and continuing on to experimenting with digital currency. He also delved into the vulnerability by using the context of UPI. "UPI is essentially a payment instrument that transfers funds from one bank account to another (it can also use wallets, but that is a negligible part of the volume, so we will ignore it for this purpose). All UPI transactions are therefore payment transactions made through banks. Yet when we talk of UPI, the first entity that comes to mind is not a bank but a non-bank UPI app," he said. Touching upon UPI, he said acquisition of customers and their payments data, was enough of an incentive for these app providers to extend these services even in the absence of any revenue. It is also important to appreciate that these FinTechs had certain basic advantages - Technology edge, Data advantage, Cost advantage, he noted. "These advantages were large, and it can be reasonably argued that banks were unfairly disadvantaged (higher regulatory burden, frictions of KYC process and AML checks). In a competitive market, banks would have recovered their higher costs from the fintechs, but then, adoption of new technology would probably have suffered. But even without these disadvantages, it would be reasonable to assume that banks just did not foresee the potential in UPI that the FinTechs did. Part of the explanation lies in the very nature of banks," he explained. Delving on what could be the strategic imperatives for banks to prepare for transformative technologies, he said modernising core infrastructure to make it less monolithic and rigid is one such imperative if banks have to compete with the fintech ecosystem. "Perhaps the most important requirement is reengineering the culture of innovation within banks and creating incentives for learning and skill upgradation from within. Human expertise to innovate, govern, and responsibly deploy technology remains the differentiator in a digital world. Institutions must cultivate deep digital and data skills at all levels, ensuring teams are equipped to navigate complexity and seize opportunities," the RBI deputy governor said. Equally importantly, banks need to treat fintechs as partners in innovation and create a mutually beneficial or symbiotic strategic partnerships with them, he suggested. "The objective should be to benefit from the agility of fintechs without compromising prudential discipline."

New Delhi [India], November 10 (ANI): After the Prime Minister Narendra Modi's address at the Combined Commanders' Conference held in September this year in Kolkata, the Defence Ministry has fast-tracked the process of setting up new theatre commands, which would help the three defence forces to fight the wars of the future in an integrated and joint manner.

Staffordshire primary school pupils shine bright with charity car wash for cancer support

This inspiring initiative follows their successful Macmillan Coffee Morning held in September, where the children first began their mission to support individuals and families impacted by cancer. Motivated to do even more, the pupils took it upon themselves to learn more about local organisations making a difference. Their journey led them to invite nurses from Katharine House Hospice to speak about the incredible care and support they provide. Moved by their stories, the children were inspired to take action. With buckets, sponges, and big smiles, the Year 6 team transformed their school car park into a hub of generosity and community spirit. Parents, staff, and local residents came together to support the event, leaving not only with sparkling cars but also with hearts full of admiration for the pupils’ dedication. “This is just the beginning,” said one of the Year 6 pupils. “We want to keep going and raise even more money to help people in our community.” The school is incredibly proud of its students, who have shown empathy, leadership, and a deep commitment to making the world a better place. Plans are already busy planning future fundraising events, and the children’s enthusiasm shows no signs of slowing down. St. Peter’s CE Primary School, Hixon invites the community to continue supporting these young heroes as they work towards their ambitious goals. Together, we can help them turn compassion into action and hope into healing.

“Müharibə Qəhrəmanı” yüksək addır, yoxsa “Milli Qəhrəman”?
Technology

“Müharibə Qəhrəmanı” yüksək addır, yoxsa “Milli Qəhrəman”?

Azərbaycan tarixinin qəhrəmanlıq səhifələri hər zaman şəhidlərin qanı, igidlərin mərdliyi ilə yazılıb. Amma bu qəhrəmanların adını tarixə həkk edən təkcə onların göstərdiyi şücaət deyil, həm də dövlətin həmin şəxslərə verdiyi ali qiymətdir. Bu baxımdan “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı” və “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adları həm mənəvi, həm tarixi, həm də ideoloji baxımdan xüsusi məna daşıyır. Azərbaycan xalqının bu günlərdə qeyd etdiyi Zəfər bayramının 5-ci ildönümündə “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” və “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı” fəxri adını daşıyan igidlər də gündəmdədir. Bu adların hər ikisi eyni ruhun – vətən sevgisinin, fədakarlığın və qeyrətin ifadəsidir. Onlara layiq görülən qəhrəmanların məqsədi eyni idi: Azərbaycanın bütövlüyü və şərəfini qorumaq. “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı” adı 25 mart 1992-ci il-ci ildə təsis olunub. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adı isə 20 noyabr 2020-ci il tarixində təsis olunub. Bəs bu adlardan hansı daha yüksək fərqlənmə dərəcəsidir. Metbuat.az xəbər verir ki, Modern.az saytı sosial şəbələrdə və cəmiyyətdəki müzakirələri nəzərə alaraq, yuxarıdakı suala aydınlıq gətirməyə çalışıb. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adı İkinci Qarabağ müharibəsində qələbə münasibətilə təsis edilib. Bu fəxri ad Azərbaycanın ən ali fərqlənmə dərəcəsidir. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adının xüsusi fərqlənmə nişanı - “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” medalıdır. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adı Azərbaycan Respublikasının işğal olunmuş ərazilərinin azad olunması zamanı düşmən qüvvələrinin tam məğlub edilməsi üzrə qarşıya qoyulmuş döyüş tapşırıqlarına və dövlət sərhədinin bərpa edilməsi üzrə döyüş əməliyyatlarına yüksək peşəkarlıqla rəhbərlik edilməsinə, həmçinin döyüş əməliyyatlarında göstərdiyi şəxsi qəhrəmanlığa görə verilir. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adı eyni şəxsə bir dəfə verilir. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adı almış şəxslər qanunla müəyyənləşdirilmiş güzəştlərdən istifadə edir. "Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı" adına azı 83 nəfər layiq görülüb. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adı verilən hərbçilərin 34 nəfəri döyüşlərdə şəhid olub, 49 nəfər isə sağdır. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı" adı almış şəxslərə Prezident təqaüdü verilir. Həmin təqaüdün məbləği 2200 manatdır. “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı” adı respublikanın ikinci yüksək fərqlənmə dərəcəsidir. Bu fəxri ad Azərbaycan Respublikasının müstəqilliyi və tərəqqisi naminə xalq qarşısında müstəsna xidmətlərə və rəşadətə görə verilir. “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı” adının xüsusi fərqlənmə nişanı səkkizguşəli “Qızıl Ulduz” medalıdır. “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı” adı eyni şəxsə bir dəfə verilir. Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı qanunvericiliklə müəyyənləşdirilmiş güzəştlərdən istifadə edir. Hazırda Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanlarının sayı 224 nəfərdir. Onlardan 15 nəfəri sağdır, qalanlar ya şəhdi olublar, ya da sonradan vəfat ediblər. “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı” adı almış şəxslərə də Prezident təqaüdü verilir. Həmin təqaüdün məbləği 2000 manatdır. Beləliklə, qanunvericiliyə görə, “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” adı “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı” adından bir pillə yüksəkdir. “Vətən Müharibəsi Qəhrəmanı” medalı döşün sol tərəfinə, digər orden və medallardan yuxarıda taxılır. Ondan aşağı “Azərbaycanın Milli Qəhrəmanı”nın “Qızıl Ulduz”u taxılır. “Qızıl Ulduz”dan aşağıda "Vətən uğrunda" medalı taxılır.

Nepal police arrest more than 400 over September protests

KATHMANDU: Nepal's police have arrested 423 people accused of crimes ranging from murder to vandalism during a deadly mass uprising in September that toppled the government, according to police data released on Monday (Nov 10). Suspects also face charges that include the illegal possession and use of weapons, as well as theft and indecent behaviour, the data showed. "A team is looking into the incidents and we are working to collect information," Nepal police spokesman Abi Narayan Kafle said. Youth-led protests that rallied under the loose umbrella title of Gen Z, referring to those aged under 28, erupted on Sep 8 after a government ban on social media. The movement was more broadly fuelled by economic hardship and growing anger over corruption. Protests then morphed into nationwide fury, culminating in the collapse of the government as crowds torched parliament and the Supreme Court. At least 76 people were killed in two days of violence, according to a new police toll, including 63 protesters, 10 escaped prisoners and three police officers. Thousands of activists used the group-chat app Discord in the aftermath of the uprising to nominate 73-year-old former chief justice Sushila Karki as their preferred interim leader. She was then appointed prime minister until the elections due in March 2026. Arrests have taken place since the unrest, but the police data issued on Monday gave the first indication of the scale of the detentions.

Trading platform eToro beats profit estimates as retail investors ride market boom

Stock and crypto trading platform eToro beat estimates for third-quarter profit on Monday as retail investors maintained their buying streak despite bubble worries, sending shares up 8 per cent before the bell. Equities hit record highs in the quarter as steady earnings, softer inflation expectations and optimism around the AI boom encouraged investors to move back into risk assets. The rally has stirred concerns about a bubble, some analysts warned, with valuations in high-growth names appearing stretched. Several prominent Wall Street CEOs have cautioned that the market could be nearing a correction. Meanwhile, crypto markets were extremely volatile through the quarter, swinging sharply as traders reacted to shifting regulatory and macro signals. Net contribution, which deducts the cost of revenue from crypto assets and margin interest expense, jumped 28 per cent to $215 million from the year-ago quarter. "Our results reflect the strength of our diversified revenue streams across segments and geographies, robust user engagement, and disciplined cost management, a trend that has continued into October," CFO Meron Shani said in a statement. Newer fintech platforms have eroded the dominance of Wall Street incumbents in recent years, luring younger, tech-savvy investors with low fees, slick mobile apps and access to a wider asset range. The financial technology company's assets under administration grew by 76 per cent year-on-year to $20.8 billion. A combination of accessible trading apps, volatile price moves and a steady flow of market news has persistently supported strong retail participation, helping these platforms maintain growth. The company posted adjusted profit of 60 cents per share in the three months ended September 30, versus 51 cents per share a year earlier. Analysts had expected 56 cents per share, according to an average estimate compiled by LSEG. It also announced a share repurchase program of up to $150 million. Larger rival Robinhood Markets topped third-quarter profit estimates earlier this month as retail traders seized opportunities presented by the market momentum.

Thailand to extradite gambling kingpin She Zhijiang to China

BANGKOK: A Thai court of appeal has upheld an extradition order against a Chinese gambling kingpin after more than three years of legal battles, Thailand's state prosecutor said in a statement on Monday (Nov 10). She Zhijiang, 43, a Chinese national who also holds a Cambodian passport, was arrested by Thai police in August 2022 on an international warrant and Interpol red notice requested by Beijing, who accused him of running illegal online gambling operations. A Thai criminal court ordered his extradition to China in May 2024, but his legal team appealed the decision, arguing that the order breached the law. Last month, the Thai Constitutional Court ruled that the extradition order was lawful. She will be extradited to China "to stand trial for operating illegal casinos," the Thai prosecutor's statement said, adding that his alleged offences also included the founding and running of 239 gambling websites with circulating capital of over 12.63 trillion baht (US$385 billion). He is also accused of building and operating two casinos at Shwe Kokko in Myanmar, where he allegedly "enticed Chinese nationals to participate in gambling activities" through various online platforms, the statement said. She continues to deny any wrongdoing, saying that his case in China is politically motivated and based on alleged offences dating back to 2011, his lawyer Sanya Eadjongdee told Reuters. He said that the Appeal Court reached its verdict on Nov 6 and relayed it to She and his legal team on Monday. She is detained at Bangkok Remand Prison. Thai government agencies have 90 days to coordinate She's extradition to China, Sanya said. At the time of his arrest, She headed a gambling empire that included a US$15 billion casino, entertainment and tourism complex called Shwe Kokko on the Thai-Myanmar border. The US Treasury Department in September sanctioned nine companies and individuals tied to Shwe Kokko for their links to regional scam and trafficking networks. The border areas between Thailand, Myanmar, Laos and Cambodia have become hubs for online fraud since the COVID-19 pandemic, and the United Nations says billions of dollars have been earned from the trafficking of hundreds of thousands of people forced to work in these compounds.

India all-rounder Ghosh eyes T20 glory after World Cup heroics

BENGALURU, India :India all-rounder Richa Ghosh has set her sights on Twenty20 World Cup glory after playing a key role in her country's historic one-day international crown despite battling a hairline fracture. The 22-year-old from Siliguri in the eastern Indian state of West Bengal is confident that the Women's Premier League Twenty20 competition, in which she represents Royal Challengers Bengaluru, can help her prepare for the shortest format of the game ahead of the T20 World Cup in England next year. "The T20 World Cup is going to be very important for me. We have ticked the one-day World Cup (off our list) but we have to tick the T20 World Cup as well," Ghosh told Reuters over a video call. "But before the World Cup, we have the WPL. So my main focus and mindset is on helping my team win, regardless of the tournament or format." The wicketkeeper-batter has been retained by RCB alongside seasoned campaigners like Smriti Mandhana and Ellyse Perry for the next year's competition, and planning is in full swing for a repeat of their title success in 2024. "I can't disclose all the things as of now but our main focus is to bring the second trophy home," she added. WORLD CUP HEROICS Ghosh smashed her way into the record books during India's ODI world title win this year, equalling Deandra Dottin's mark of most sixes (12) in a women's World Cup edition as India defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the final. Her heroics while managing a finger injury proved decisive in the knockout stages, as she struck 26 off 16 balls in the semi-final against Australia during India's record chase of 339, before contributing a crucial 24-ball 34 in the final. "Each and every player faces ups and downs but how you tackle those lows is the real test of a player," Ghosh said. "I was playing for the country and nothing else mattered to me. Apart from my mindset, the physios also helped me a lot and backed me. Their trust helped me to get over my injury." The power-hitter, whose trophy cabinet includes the 2023 Under-19 World Cup, the 2022 Asian Games gold and the 2022 Commonwealth Games silver since her international debut in 2020, said she hopes to enjoy similar success in the longest format as well. "There is a different feeling while playing test cricket because as a batter you get many balls to bat. So, I want to score more and do much better in the red-ball format," she added.

NIA requests Delhi High Court to hold in-camera hearing on plea seeking death penalty for Yasin Malik

The National Investigation Agency (NIA) on Monday (November 10, 2025) asked the Delhi High Court for in-camera proceedings while hearing the agency's appeal seeking death penalty for Kashmiri separatist leader Yasin Malik in the 2017 terror funding case. A bench of Justices Vivek Chaudhary and Manoj Jain said the plea would be considered after NIA's counsel, Special Public Prosecutor Akshai Malik, requested to conduct the proceedings in-camera and provide a private virtual link. Yasin Malik, who appeared through video conferencing from Tihar jail, said he was subjected to psychological torture because of the protracted delay of around three years in deciding the appeal. The bench has posted the matter to January 28 for hearing the arguments. In September, Yasin Malik, in an 85-page affidavit submitted before the high court, claimed that he spent nearly three decades as a key figure in a state-sanctioned "backchannel" mechanism, working with a succession of prime ministers, intelligence chiefs and even business tycoons to foster peace in Jammu and Kashmir. The Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) chief is lodged in Tihar jail where he is serving a life term in the case. On May 24, 2022, a trial court sentenced the separatist leader to life imprisonment after holding him guilty for offences under the stringent Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) and IPC. He had pleaded guilty to the charges, including those under the UAPA, and was convicted and sentenced to life imprisonment. Appealing against the sentence, the NIA emphasised that a terrorist cannot be sentenced life term only because he has pleaded guilty and chosen not to go through trial. While seeking enhancement of the sentence to the death penalty, the agency said if such dreaded terrorists are not given capital punishment on account of pleading guilty, there would be complete erosion of the sentencing policy and terrorists would have a way out to avoid death sentence.
