India is hailed as the third largest fintech ecosystem in the world with over 10000 FinTech firms in the country. The fintech adoption rate in India is 87% which is way above the global average of 64%. On top of that, the value of India’s Financial Inclusion Index is 60.1 as against 56.4 in the previous year. Yet, India is severely credit underpenetrated. The credit card penetration is estimated at around merely 5.5% of the population and even India’s domestic credit to the private sector at 55% of GDP in 2020 is remarkably below the world average (148%), and lowest among its Asian peers — China (182%), South Korea (165%), and Vietnam (148%).

lunar lander in more than 50 years rocketed to space on Monday, launching a race for private companies to deliver experiments and other items to the moon. But about seven hours after liftoff, Astrobotic Technology reported the solar panel on the lander wasn't properly pointed toward the sun to generate and store power and it was investigating the issue.

Amazon antenna on the Indian Ocean island of Mauritius made contact with both, but during a subsequent handoff to another station, only one vehicle checked in. Amazon scanned the sky behind the first satellite for a signal from the second one but heard silence. The incident threatened to kill the mood for employees who’d gathered to celebrate the launch at Postdoc Brewing, not far from Amazon’s Seattle-area space operation. The team had spent years building satellites from scratch and endured months of delays launching them. Now that they were aloft, Amazon needed to make contact to ensure their solar panels had deployed. If not, the batteries would run out and the satellites would fail, a major setback for the retail and cloud-computing giant, already a late entrant in the race to build a profitable business selling internet access from low-Earth orbit.

Amazon has launched the first test satellites for its planned internet service

Amazon has taken a significant stride in its ambitious endeavor to establish a global satellite internet network, marking a pivotal moment in the realization of its Project Kuiper system. This visionary project aims to deploy 3,236 satellites in low Earth orbit, offering high-speed internet access to remote corners of the world. On Friday, Amazon's maiden pair of Project Kuiper satellites embarked on their journey into space.

eye bore the brunt of the 2017 work accident, which stole his vision, left him unable to tolerate light and triggered four to five cluster headaches a day. Then he underwent an experimental procedure that aims to treat severe injuries in one eye with stem cells from the other. «I went from completely blind with debilitating headaches and pondering if I could go another day — like really thinking I can't do this anymore» to seeing well enough to drive and emerging from dark places literally and figuratively, he said, choking up. The 51-year-old from Homewood, Alabama, was one of four patients to get stem cell transplants as part of the first U.S. study to test the technique, which could someday help thousands. Though additional treatment is sometimes needed, experts say the stem cell transplant offers hope to people with few if any other options. Results of the early-stage research were published Friday in the journal Science Advances, and a larger study is now underway.
