Japan And India Signed Pact On Bullet Trains And The Nuclear Deals Too

The much talked about historic memorandum on civil nuclear cooperation finally reached its

culmination on  Saturday,  as the two  countries signed a  pact on this potential partnership. This strategic partnership is expected to take Defence to a new level.  Following this treaty, it's also agreed that these countries will play a  significant role for defence production  and technology transfer.

Here's an excerpt of the document

"The two governments confirm that the Agreement will be signed after the technical details are finalised, including those related to the necessary internal procedures." 

Besides this MoU, the agreement signed by Shinzo Abe and Narendra Modi, also talks about the high-speed (bullet trains) railway between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.  There are 14 other pacts signed across sectors. Stated by the experts, this treaty between Japan and India on the potential nuclear co-operation reflects the former's unflinching trust on India's non-proliferation record and voluntary moratorium on further nuclear tests. 

If reports are to be believed, the conducive ground for this much awaited nuclear treaty was formed long before.  During the visit of Abe, who is betting heavily on India as a partner for maintaining stability in Asia,  Japan's had  almost made its  mind  to sign this treaty. However, over this period of time, Japan  was apparently insisting on the tougher safeguards, though  India  was comfortable with the former template based on Indo-US nuclear deal. According to the officials , two countries have had  exhaustive  negotiations on the issues of nuclear non-proliferation, reclaiming rights of used nuclear fuel, tracing  and scrutinizing clause and nuclear tests. Informed by the spokesperson of Japan's Foreign Ministry, Yasuhisa Kawamura, Abe has emphasized on the importance of a world free of nuclear weapons. The nuclear co-operation between the two countries, thus does not promote nuclear bouts. 

"The memorandum is a shining symbol of a new level of mutual confidence and strategic partnership in the cause of a peaceful and secure world," Modi said. The treaty comes with a two way agreement- In the first place, it involves the Transfer of Defence Equipment and Technology and secondly, it involves Security Measures for Protection of Classified Military Information that strengthens foundation of deep strategic ties. The pact also involves a continuation on the US-2 amphibian aircraft.

Mark Zuckerberg, Now a Father Donates All Money For a Better Future Of His Child

Mark Zuckerberg and Priscilla Chan has recently announced that they are going to donate nearly all (99%) of their wealth for the social cause, as an act of celebration of their new baby daughter, Max. Last week, when the daughter arrived in their life, the duo had decided to do something significant for the society that will help solving some of its problems.

On his Facebook post, Zuckerberg has announced that over time, the family will done 99% of the Facebook stockholdings to some pressing social causes that involves disease, education and others. The couple is looking to build up a strong social community and has pledged already to give away half their assets during their lifetime. However, they have not yet spilled the details of the specifics.

Recently, they are busy with their new found organization called the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, that is essentially designed to pursue the social goals through a slew of charitable donations, private investment and promotion of government-policy reform. "Like all parents, we want you to grow up in a world better than ours today," the 31-year-old social media mogul and his wife scribed in a letter to their daughter, which they also posted on Facebook. Such an announcement on Zuckerberg's part surely stunned the charity world. According to the president of the nonprofit Center for Effective Philanthropy ,"It's incredibly impressive and an enormous commitment that really eclipses anything that we've seen in terms of size."

As of now, the new organization will function as a limited liability company, more specifically a non-profit foundation. "They want the most flexibility and they are going to use a wide variety of activities to achieve their mission," says Rachael Horwitz, a Facebook spokeswoman, said via email. "So in that way this is not a foundation nor is it entirely charitable."

Though there's nothing new in their act of donating money, yet right now investing such a huge amount is surely a concern. Initially Zuckerberg has also showed an interest in influencing public policy. Along with that, Zuckerberg has also encouraged his other properties at Silicon Valley to take part in his initiative. According to a letter to their new born daughter, their only goal is "advancing human potential and promoting equality." It seems, he has already reached his goal. Zuckerberg has also added "We must make long term investments over 25, 50 or even 100 years. The greatest challenges require very long time horizons and cannot be solved by short term thinking."

According to the other sources, the Facebook co-founder is one of the world's wealthiest men, who

has already had quite a few significant contributions to his credit. mention must be made of the previous donation amounting to $100 million (roughly Rs. 665 crores) to public schools in Newark, New Jersey, and pledged $120 million (roughly Rs. 798 crores) to schools in poor communities of the San Francisco Bay Area. They've also given $75 million (roughly Rs. 498 crores) to the Zuckerberg San Francisco General Hospital, where Chan did her medical training.

However, while making his announcement about the donation, he has also said that such an attempt will never delimit his states as the shareholder of the company. In fact, Mark Zuckerberg will solely control the shareholder of the company in future. According to the sources, he will donate an amount more than $1 billion of Facebook stock every year for the next three years

Another Googler is On-Board with Flipkart to Head the Consumer Experience

The Flipkart has seen staggering success since its birth. From being a books-only online portal, Flipkart has become a leading e-commerce portal with a plethora of items. Flipkart's impressive profile seems to attract the talented individuals, who was so far being involved with the leading tech whopper Google. This time, its Surojit Chatterjee, a senior executive of Google is on board with Flipkart to head its Consumer Experience. 

Lately, the leading Indian e-commerce player, is scooping too many top talents from well established firms, majorly from Silicon Valley. However, the addition of Surojit Chatterjee to the team is no less than a news. Surojit Chatterjee, the ex- Googler is appointed to strengthen the team of Flipkart and maintain its lead in the market. In this stint, he will be looking at enhancing the consumer experience of Flipkart, which in the long run will be beneficial to make profitable returns.

It's just a two days when Flipkart roped in the ex-CTO of Make My Trip, Sharat Singh and they have again hired Google executive Surojit Chatterjee, who has 33 US patents to his name. In Google also, Surojit Chatterjee was looking after the consumer experience across desktop and mobile. There he used to work as the global head of mobile search advertising and AdSense for search. No wonder, he is being instrumental behind such a huge acceptance of Google among the consumers. It's being expected that the experience of this senior official will surely have its positive effect on the enhanced user experience that Flipkart strives to deliver.

Presently, Flipkart boasts of top executives from companies like Amazon, Google and Microsoft (who are undoubtedly the tech giant in India and worldwide) in crucial positions of its team. Most of these executives are hired in this year. Sources reveal that 2015 was initially set as the landmark year and Flipkart has successfully reached its goal.

As of now, the team of Flipkart is mostly formed of the senior officials from Google. For example, Peeyush Ranjan, the head of the engineering team of Flipkart has joined in March. Puneet Soni from Google also joined as the Chief Product Officer in the same month. Also, in the following months, Flipkart was graced with the addition of Amazon’s Dan Rawson, to head the customer logistics and supply chain ecosystems. Just few days after Mr. Rawson joined, Flipkart found Google executive Ravi Byakod, who is appointed as the director of engineering – accounting. And then there are Microsoft’s Anand Lakshminarayanan, the head of product management for digital goods and services at Flipkart.

The increasing cut-throat competition in the business panorama, that Flipkart is all set to give to the tech giants is seemingly making quite a progress with best minds in its possession. According to the reports, Flipkart is literally ruling the e-commerce domain in India. As of now, Flipkart not only holds the largest market share in India( among the top three companies- Flipkart, Amazon, Snapdeal). With its recent expansion strategy (team and operations), it's expected that the company is going to join the bandwagon of the international e-commerce giants within a very short period of time.

As per the current reports, Flipkart has raised about $3.15 billion so far in 12 rounds from the investors and is planning for an IPO in the next few years.
