This is where Comviva takes centre stage. company’s degree of being “technology- ready” has surpassed its physical assets as a Its mobile financial business contributes 30%, Mobile Lifestyle business 26%, Messaging and Broadband solution 14% and Customer value Solution business contributes around 10% to the overall company’s revenue.

How has company grown over the years? Which vertical do you see the most traction in? The company transitioned from a mobile VAS player to one focusing on mobile money and payments, analytics and data monetization, digital lifestyle, messaging and managed services. Started as an incubation within Bharti Enterprises, Comviva changed tracks to develop products and solutions for the telecom space within two years. The company made its debut 20 years ago and has, since then, transitioned from a mobile value added services (VAS) company to one focusing on mobile money and payments, analytics and data monetization, digital lifestyle, messaging and managed services. Manoranjan ‘Mao’ Mohapatra, Chief Executive Officer, Comviva spoke exclusively to The Silicon Review. Below is an excerpt. That apart, we expanded our global footprint from Africa and India into the Middle East, Europe, Latin America and Asia. Today, we work with global group operators such as Vodafone, Airtel, Orange, MTN, America Movil etc. Why was the company set up and how did you expand your company and its offerings over the years? The company was established in 1999 as a subsidiary of the Bharti Group. At the time, the software and IT sectors were booming, which is why, the company’s founders thought it viable to jump onto the bandwagon. Initially, we planned to focus on telecommunications and technology, keeping in mind the support we had from the bharti group. A year and a half later into the business, we faced multiple challenges, in terms of establishing an entity. In terms of performance in each geography, 40 percent of our revenue comes from Africa. Asia and MENA contribute around 23 percent each, whereas Europe and Americas account for around 14 percent. Comviva has been witnessing year-on-year growth rates of 15 percent over the past seven years. We have acquired ATS in Latin America and Emagine International in Australia as well. Pushing the Limits The company has always focused on delivering innovative and cutting-edge products and solutions. In fact, it has filed over 60 patents, of which, 10 have been granted. Comviva has been transforming digital payments, enabling digital entities, and facilitating intelligent communications. Please elaborate on the company’s innovative offerings that you offer to the market. If I were to caption this journey, the highlight of the journey was staying relevant, and we have stayed relevant by constantly innovating and changing our call to the market. The company’s solutions and services are aligned with strategic technology trends to enable telecom operators to provide value added services to their customers due to which it has received several prestigious awards for innovation. The main pivots are centered on the twin aspects of consumer-centric innovations and simplification of user interface for ease of content discovery, and delivering local and regional content in rich formats. To address this situation, a few individuals in management took charge and turned the situation around. The idea then was to switch from offering IT outsourcing services to developing telecom and software products. The gamble paid off and the company received funding from When we started out, we were primarily a VAS company also known as value added services company, but that particular 33 April 2019

34. vertical is almost dead now. So if you take a look at those offerings that we had at that point of time are no more relevant today. After that we have constantly invested a significant part of our revenues into R&D for innovation and have delivered incremental value to our customers. Today, we offer innovative solutions pertaining to digital payments which is a very popular domain globally. to target subscribers in a segmented manner. The Thought Leadership In addition, we also have analytics-driven solutions that are being powered by machine learning and artificial intelligence. Manoranjan Mohapatra, Chief Executive Officer Manoranjan’s career has been dedicated to the development and deployment of innovative software communications solutions in rapidly growing markets, transforming high potential businesses into true world-beating organizations. His track record for enabling innovation, his deep knowledge of telecom related technology and his wealth of experience in a range of operational and marketing roles provide a strong leadership base from which to enhance Mahindra Comviva’s position as the leading provider of integrated VAS solutions in emerging markets globally. What challenges did you face whilst building the business? There were multiple challenges in the beginning. For example, India is predominantly a prepaid market and, naturally, we focused on developing products to cater to these subscribers. This led us to the prepaid markets in Africa, the Middle East and Southeast Asia. We also function in the content services domain. Interestingly, this space has changed multiple times over the years- from text messages, it has transitioned to video- based content. There was a time when people used to send text messages and jokes which has now been replaced by video content. Now more and more content is consumed on smart devices, so we offer these services in a very innovative way to our customers. That’s a section where we have transformed from our conventional services to digital streaming services. In addition, we were, as you may recall, very closely associated with the Bharti group, at least in the beginning. This made it more challenging to sell products to other operators, such as Vodafone, Idea, etc. we thus began focusing on the Africa, Middle East and Southeast Asia markets. This, needless to say, proved to be very lucrative for us. Prior to joining Mahindra Comviva, Manoranjan was President and COO at Aricent, where he enjoyed a 15 year career and was instrumental in building the company from a relative start up to a globally recognized brand, with over US$300 million in revenues. Before moving to Aricent, he was a core member of the Center for Development of Telematics (CDOT), where he made a significant contribution to research and development in telecom switching, and where he began his career. Manoranjan has been recognized with prestigious ‘Distinguished Fellow’ award by The Institute of Directors (IOD) in the year 2012 and in 2013 he was named “India’s Top 20 CEO 2013” by Haryana IT, Telecom, and Enabled industries Confederation (HITEC) India for spearheading the company’s growth as an industry leader and for setting benchmarks in the mobile VAS industry. We are also helping global operators to monetize their assets. This simply refers to the monetization of the vast amounts of subscriber data by these players. We thus offer services such as micro credit and microlending, that leverage an operator’s subscriber base. We also have an enterprise omnichannel marketing solution which allows enterprises to leverage an operator’s subscriber data How does the company set itself apart from the competition? In a nutshell-our focus on cutting-edge technologies and the “blue ocean” markets of Asia, Middle East and North Africa, Southeast Asia, Africa and Latin America. We are betting heavily on the growth levers of

35. COVER Story data analytics, digital payments and enterprise messaging. All in all, as a company, we’re focused on staying relevant, understanding our customers and mold our offerings to suit their requirements. “We are among the leaders of mobility solutions. With an expansive suite of productized solutions, we cater to over two billion mobile users globally. We are the business of tomorrows.” Please define a future roadmap? Comviva has fine-tuned its focus on multiple geographies and is in the process of consolidating its markets in Asia and Africa and growing its markets in Latin America and Western Europe. This is to be implemented through a combination of organic and inorganic initiatives, such as mergers and acquisitions in the digital payments, data analytics and enterprise messaging spaces. It is expected that the sum total of Comviva’s growth strategy will lead to growth of 14% CAGR in the next 4 years with industry leading profitability metrics and its R&D spend will reach 15% in next 3 years. In the product space, we want to continue to focus on data monetization, with the aim of permitting operators to leverage enterprises better. We have also expanded our presence significantly-from India to Africa, Southeast Asia and Latin America. Over the next three to five years, we will emphasize on expanding to Europe and North America. Please elaborate on a few of the company’s accomplishments. All in all, we have achieved great success in the communications and innovation domain On an average, we receive 10 to 12 recognitions and awards every year. I think we are the only Indian company, or may be the only company, that has received three GSMA GLOMO awards in the last five years, and this year we have been nominated in two categories. Clearly, the market recognizes us as an innovative player, which is, indeed, a great achievement. SR 35 April 2019

36. Bringing a Radical Reinvention in the Cloud and Blockchain Ecosystem: Xunlei Seeks To Empower Individuals with Its Revolutionary Technologies T infrastructure that supports transactions in the cryptocurrency. But the benefits that the technology can provide are not dependent on bitcoin. Speaking of its functionalities, blockchain sets the foundation for decentralised, secure and trusted data exchange. Moreover, blockchain technologies have brought forward many capabilities that allow many mission- critical applications to function efficiently, and it definitely has the potential to introduce many more trends in the future of enterprise applications. he blockchain technology is well known as the foundational ThunderChain Open Platform, a high-performance blockchain operating system that can concurrently process over one million transaction per second (TPS) and realize confirmation in seconds. ThunderChain is aimed to create one of the largest blockchain business ecosystems and can be applied in a spectrum of scenarios to empower the real economy. Blockchain Powered Value Building Bitcoin has witnessed a steep decline in its value from a peak of $20,000 per coin last year to hardly $4,000 today. However, that doesn’t indicate things won’t go good for blockchain, the technology that made virtual currencies like bitcoin and ether a reality. Put in the words of Mr. Lei Chen, CEO of Xunlei Limited, a blockchain company with an above $30 billion market cap is not an unrealistic future. It was under his leadership that Xunlei, a company that started off as a digital services provider, transformed into a blockchain pioneer over the past few years. Lei Chen, CEO In the light of the above mentioned, it is indeed an honour to present Xunlei Limited (Nasdaq: XNET), a blockchain technology innovator that is leading the market with its cloud computing and blockchain technology in China. Lei Chen, CEO of Xunlei Limited and Onething Technologies Mr. Lei Chen has been Xunlei Limited chief executive officer since July 2017. Prior to that, Mr. Chen served as Xunlei’s co-chief executive officer and chief technology officer at Xunlei. In 2015, Mr. Chen created OneThing Technologies, Xunlei’s cloud computing division. Prior to joining Xunlei in 2014, Mr. Chen was the President of Tencent Cloud, where he spearheaded Tencent’s cloud computing, open platform and social advertisement efforts. Mr. Chen also worked at Google and Microsoft in the US focusing on cloud computing and big data research and development, before returning to China to join Tencent. Operating as a powerful Internet platform based on cloud computing in China, Xunlei provides users with quick and easy access to digital media content through its core products and services, Xunlei Accelerator and the cloud acceleration subscription services. Xunlei’s subsidiary, Onething Technologies, is a leading innovator in shared computing and blockchain in China. Notably, Onething Technologies launched Chen says that achieving the $30 billion mark isn’t going to be easy. There are a few prerequisites that must occur first. He believes that the first and foremost requirement is a blockchain architecture with the capability of sustaining one- million transactions per second and a response time within seconds. Chen claims that Xunlei’s blockchain processing Mr. Chen holds a bachelor degree of science in computer science and technology from Tsinghua University in China, and a master’s degree in computer science from the University of Texas at Austin in the US.

37. platform, ThunderChain, already fulfills this requirement. services, copyrights and food safety areas regarding traceability and transparency. “We crowdsource our computing resources from consumers, then offer a cloud solution similar to AWS. But we can do it really cheap, and we’re currently serving the largest Internet companies in China.” One more thing that the blockchain revolution will impact is data ownership. “Blockchain will challenge the data ownership models of today, because data should be of the people for the people and by the people”, says Chen. He is of the opinion that user data will be treated in the same way as intellectual property in a period of ten years thus demanding the need for creating regulations under which individuals can truly own their own data. Here comes the need for the second prerequisite of Chen’s notion, i.e. there needs to be one, somewhat unified, well thought-out regulation framework. The ThunderChain is capable of concurrently conducting millions of transactions per second. It also supports smart contracts written in solidity language and is compatible with Ethereum Virtual Machine making it easy to migrate applications from other blockchain platforms. In the recent earnings report, Xunlei recorded the historical high in annual revenue in 2018. Total revenues were US$232.1 million, representing an increase of 15.0% from 2017. Cloud computing business – as the main driver of the total revenue – achieved around 30% year-over-year increase. Xunlei also disclosed multiple exciting developments in the announcement, including a strategic partnership with China Mobile, which is one of main telecom operators in China, and expanded client coverage for its cloud computing business. ThunderChain plays a fundamental role in Xunlei’s shared cloud computing model. Users contribute idle bandwidth, storage and other computing resources to the shared computing network, a process made transparent and traceable via blockchain technology. In order to incentivize users to join the shared platform, users will receive a digital asset which they can use to redeem relevant products and services such as video site memberships, internet acceleration services, cloud storage, shared content services and gaming content services. Next on the list of prerequisites is the need for an application of blockchain technology that surpasses ten-million users. “If there is a ten-million user application of blockchain today, we would be seeing the entire technology in a completely different light”, Chen added. In terms of future strategy, Chen highlighted, “The incoming era of 5G technology presents a critical trend for the IoT industry, leading to more demand for edge computing solutions. After years of investment, we have built a nationwide network of shared cloud computing nodes and provided edge computing solutions for commercial uses. We believe our head start and technological advantages position us well in capturing this great opportunity. We expect continued growth in shared cloud computing business in 2019.” Revolutionizing Business Model Xunlei is one of the few companies with dedicated resources and a strategic focus on blockchain technology, especially around its fundamental capabilities and practical use cases. Furthermore, there have been a number of practical use cases launched or in the progress of deployment on Thunder Chain Open Platform. Xunlei has entered into cooperation with business partners from different industries such as media publishing, healthcare, food industry, financial services and IP protection. SR The industry generally categorises bitcoin as Blockchain 1.0 based on its investment value and the adoption of ethereum as a decentralised platform for a limited set of applications as Blockchain 2.0. But ThunderChain is seen as a representative of Blockchain 3.0 because it is designed to create decentralised applications that empower corporations and end users across various industries as well as focus on applications related to healthcare, financial “At Xunlei, we strive to become a driving force for technical innovation and build a shared computing and blockchain ecosystem via sharing economy.” The Roadmap Ahead Xunlei began as a peer-to-peer downloading tool targeted at speeding the delivery of files on the young and speed-challenged Internet of China. With its unique shared computing and blockchain technologies, Xunlei is bringing innovations in cloud computing at a much lower price than the traditional cloud providers in the market.

Unfortunately, morphology tests are inaccurate and subject to human error. Different clinicians could score the embryos differently. We focus our efforts toward helping women conceive through our Thermo Chemi Luminescence (TCL) technology.” TIME LAPSE Over the last few years, new time- lapse technologies have been used in a growing number of IVF clinics. Zoomed pictures of the embryos taken from within the incubator at fixed intervals are used to calculate the cell-rate split time digitally from the zygote stage. The studies that have been done shows that the outcomes have improved by only about 10%. Need and Solutions Despite huge investments in technology, improvements in the outcome of IVF have still been limited. The main reason is that current IVF technologies are unable to identify the most viable embryos for transfer effectively. As a result, multiple embryos are transferred to increase the chances of pregnancy, a costly and risky procedure. However, growing scientific evidence points to the single- embryo transfer being the most effective method of conception. That makes it more important than ever to choose the most viable single embryo, and several methods exist to do so. W defences occurs, it is referred to as oxidative stress. It is an underlying cause for multiple diseases and an early detector of the potential for many conditions from heart failure to diabetes. hen the balance between the production of free radicals and antioxidant Fertissimo: Noninvasive Testing For Optimal Embryo Selection Based on proprietary technology, the Fertissimo TCL Analyzer measures oxidative stress, which is a powerful biomarker of embryo viability. This innovative approach allows examination of multiple embryos, without disrupting an embryo. Analysis time is extremely short, taking no more than eight minutes for each embryo. MORPHOLOGY Morphology is still the gold standard for determining embryo viability and is used universally.
