India and Japan to Ink Agreement for Cooperation in AI Research and Startups

India and Japan, the two Asian countries which enjoy cordial relations with each other, ae on over verge of signing an agreement to promote development of emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence AI, and joint research, promotion of startups, reported Nikkei.

The development comes ahead of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to Japan for October 28-29 annual bilateral summit and the announcement of the agreement will be announced on this tour of PM Modi, who’ll meet his Japanese counterpart, Shinzo Abe, in Tokyo, said the report.

With this agreement, both the countries are eager to develop high-tech industries in their effort to catch up to Europe and U.S.

Japan aims to enhance its position by attracting superior technology and talent from India. To recall, earlier in February this year, India and Japan had already signed a pact for robotics and artificial intelligence in the defense segment.

While India is known for its expertise in software, Japan has strengths in hardware such as cars and electric appliances and the upcoming agreement pact will complement both of them’s strength and enhancing both countries’ profiles and shares in the global market for the internet of things (IoT).

As per the agreement, which is yet to be signedm Japan will invite Indian businesses with competitive technologies and ideas to Japan, and help them collaborate with large Japanese companies.

Research and development in digital technology will be a focus of the partnership. The National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan’s largest state-sponsored research institute, and the Indian Institute of Technology, Hyderabad, are planning joint studies, initially in image recognition. The research may later expand into 5G mobile communications and robotics.

To promote startups, and their expansion in each other’s markets, Japanese External Trade Organisation (Jetro) in association with Indian IT trade body NASSCOM and Indian Institute of Management, Bengaluru (IIM-B) had already opened Indo-Japan Startup Hub in Bengaluru, in May this Year.

Later in September, Japan and India opened an office in Bangalore. The office will serve as a center for India’s government to offer support to Japanese companies looking to expand in India, and to find local partners and talent.

According to a 2017 report by CBInsights, Japan is among top-4 countries which have had encouraged confidence in the Indian tech Startup Ecosystem and have been some of the most active foreign participants in India’s startup deals over the past five years.

Earlier this month, Japan’s electro-mechanical Giant Shinryo Corp had acquired Noida headquartered Suvidha Engineers India Private Limited (Suvidha).

The upcoming tour of PM Modi will be his third visit to Japan, after the ones in 2014 and 2016, and the two leaders have met on several occasions on the sidelines of various international summits. Abe travelled to India in 2015 and 2017 for the annual summits.

Fiat Chrysler Sells Automotive Components Business for $7 Billion

The world’s seventh largest automobile manufacturing company, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCA), has sold its subsidiary, Magneti Marelli, to Japanese automotive company, Calsonic Kansei Corporation, for $7 billion.

According to the official press release, Calsonic Kansei’s holding company CK Holdings Co., Ltd. has bought Magneti Marelli and has changed its name to Magneti Marelli CK Holdings.

With a combined revenue of $17.49 billion, the combined company plans to become one of the largest suppliers of automotive parts in the world. The new company will work from 200 different facilities, and research and development centers located all around the world.

Beda Bolzenius, president and CEO of Calsonic Kansei Corporation, will be appointed as the head of the company while Ermanno Ferrari, CEO of Magneti Marelli, will join the Magneti Marelli CK Holdings team.

Bolzenius expressed his delight in teaming up with a company that has been placed in the top 10 automotive companies of the world. He said:

“Together, we will benefit from complementary geographic footprints and product lines, while our respective customers will benefit from an increased investment in people, processes and innovative new products.”

Ferrari called it a “transformative day” for both Fiat Chrysler and Calsonic Kansei Corporation. He added that the combined company will be secure, confident and ambitious in achieving its goals.

After the news of the merger broke, the shares of Fiat Chrysler leaped by 5% in Milan. Mike Manley, CEO of Fiat Chrysler, said that the merger is an “ideal opportunity” for Magneti Marelli to pursue the growth it promised to its customers.

Manley, who served as the CEO and president of the Jeep brand since 2009, replaced Sergio Marchionne as the CEO a few days before his death. Marchionne is remembered for pushing Fiat Chrysler to success after it suffered huge losses before 2004.

Under his leadership, Fiat Chrysler’s value became ten times higher than its original value. However, he had planned on leaving his position in 2018. He even told Automotive News in an interview in 2015 that he had trained his “crew of kids,” Manley and other executives, extremely well.

Earlier this month, Manley made headway in his plans to improve the performance of Fiat Chrysler in Europe by revealing the new management team.

Pietro Gorlier was appointed as the COO of Europe, Middle East and Africa region after Alfredo Altavilla left his position at Fiat Chrysler.

Manley also sent a letter to his employees telling them about the difficulties that will be faced by the company in the coming five years. However, he said that they will be able to tackle all the problems as well as the competition with “laser focus.”

BILLIONAIRESSaudi Prince Mohammad Bin Salman in Line to Buy Manchester United

Rumors are rife that Saudi crown prince billionaire Mohammad Bin Salman is looking to buythe English football giants Manchester United. The current owners have claimed that the club is not for sale, but when you’re heart-stoppingly rich like the crown prince, that kind of cash can change things in a millisecond.

When your vast family fortune mounts up to around $1.1 trillion, you can pretty much do as you like. Although “no” means “no,” Saudi princes are used to getting what they want.

Will Billionaire Mohammad Bin Salman Get His Way?

Mohammad Bin Salman is used to getting what he wants and obtaining Manchester United might not be much different. Manchester United is not just a football club. It’s an institution and a brand. Football fans’ emotions are intrinsically linked to their clubs and Man Utd’s fanatical followers are just the same.

The world-famous football club has amassed 13 English Premier League titles and two UEFA Champions League titles in the past 30 years while becoming one of highest-earning sports/football clubs in the world.

Arabian billionaire Mohammad Bin Salman has reportedly shown his interest in buying the club and is ready to make a bid that’s backed by cash from the oil-rich Kingdom.

The Glazer family are the club’s current owners and have stated since the reports emerged that they are not interested in selling the club. The family have been in charge of Manchester United since 2005 and have been reported to have taken over $1 billion out of the club during their tenure, which didn’t go down so well with fans.

Although the Glazers’ have told the press they do not intend to sell the club, money talks, and with the size of Bin Salman’s bank balance, it doesn’t just talk, it shouts loud enough to crumble a mountain. If the Glazers did decide to sell the club, it could cost the billionaire Saudi crown price up to $4 billion to buy it outright.

When you have Saudi prince cash, every possibility is available. It will be interesting to follow the developments of this story to see if Mohammad Bin Salman can pull off one of the largest purchases the world has ever seen.
