8-12% पर, स्टार्टअप्स में वेतन वृद्धि आधी
मेड-इन-इंडिया बैटल रॉयल गेम 'इंडस' बंद बीटा लॉन्च के करीब; 5 मिलियन पूर्व-पंजीकरण हुए
कानूनी, सामाजिक उलझनों के बावजूद पोकर स्टार्टअप भारत में रुचि आकर्षित कर रहे हैं
आज का समाचार:-
एक रिपोर्ट से पता चला है कि वित्तीय वर्ष 2022-23 के लिए स्टार्टअप्स के कर्मचारियों को औसत वेतन वृद्धि 8-12% के बीच मिली - जो पिछले वर्ष में इन नए युग के तकनीकी उद्यमों की टीमों की तुलना में लगभग आधी थी।
पुणे स्थित गेम डेवलपमेंट फर्म सुपरगेमिंग ने 13 अगस्त को घोषणा की कि वह आगामी त्योहारी सीजन को लक्ष्य करते हुए अगले कुछ महीनों में अपने भारत में निर्मित बैटल रॉयल टाइटल इंडस को बंद बीटा में जारी करने की योजना बना रही है, कंपनी ने 13 अगस्त को कहा।
जब पोकर स्पोर्ट्स लीग ने इस साल जुलाई में JioCinema पर अपने पांचवें सीज़न का प्रीमियर किया, तो यह भारत में इस खेल के लिए एक महत्वपूर्ण क्षण था। कॉलेज हॉस्टल, कैसीनो या दिवाली पर घर पर खेले जाने वाले पोकर ने अन्य खेलों की तरह एक अधिक औपचारिक ऑनलाइन उद्योग में प्रवेश कर लिया है।
कृत्रिम बुद्धिमत्ता (एआई) विशेषज्ञ मनीष जैन 16 साल पहले अपनी उच्च शिक्षा के लिए अमेरिका चले गए थे। 2013 में, उन्होंने कुछ साल बाद इसे बेचने से पहले एक स्टार्ट-अप लॉन्च किया। खुदरा और आपूर्ति श्रृंखला पेशेवर भरत सुंदरराजन भी करियर बनाने के लिए अमेरिका चले गए।
यूरोपीय संघ ने मेटा सूचना पोर्टल पर डेटा गोपनीयता संबंधी चिंताओं को उठाया है जिसे भारत ने जी20 देशों के सूक्ष्म, लघु और मध्यम उद्यमों (एमएसएमई) के लिए प्रस्तावित किया है।
राज्य कैबिनेट ने शुक्रवार को आईडीसीओ के ओ-हब, शहर में 13 मंजिला ट्विन टावरों की खरीद को मुख्य रूप से सूक्ष्म, लघु और मध्यम उद्यम (एमएसएमई) विभाग द्वारा पूरे 4 लाख समर्पित करने के लिए 350 करोड़ रुपये में मंजूरी दे दी। स्टार्टअप के लिए वर्ग फुट निर्मित क्षेत्र।
गुरुवार को एक रिपोर्ट में कहा गया है कि उच्च मांग, विश्लेषणात्मक डेटा की उपलब्धता और कम चूक के बावजूद, ऋणदाता सूक्ष्म, लघु और मध्यम उद्यमों (एमएसएमई) खंड को ऋण प्रदान करने में सतर्क हैं।
जब से जवाहरलाल नेहरू ने 14 अगस्त, 1947 को संविधान सभा में अपना प्रतिष्ठित 'ट्रिस्ट विद डेस्टिनी' भाषण दिया, तब से भारत प्रौद्योगिकी और विज्ञान में बड़ी प्रगति करने में कोई अजनबी नहीं रहा है।
स्वतंत्रता के बाद से भारत ने अनगिनत मील के पत्थर हासिल किए हैं, लेकिन विज्ञान के विभिन्न क्षेत्रों में कई चुनौतियाँ अभी भी बनी हुई हैं।
भारत दक्षिण पूर्व एशिया में अपना प्रभाव बढ़ाने के लिए बड़े कदम उठा रहा है, एक ऐसा कदम जो देशों को क्षेत्र में चीन के प्रभुत्व का मुकाबला करने की अनुमति देगा।
