SYGITECH launches Campaign for #DataSafe India

April 14, 2018

Digital India campaign was started by Prime Minister Narendra Modi with the objective to make digital services accessible to every citizen. But then, with the benefits and advantages of digital revolution also come the threat and scare of the data breach. People, in general, are not aware of the extent and expanse of the issue, and so is the existing law structure. Raising awareness around the issue, SYGITECH, a tech solutions startup has launched extensive campaign #DataSafe for data security.

A signature petition, addressed to the IT minister Ravi Shankar Prasad, seeking strict data security laws is life and attracting public support. Here’s the link to the petition: https://www.change.org/p/ravi-shankar-prasad-bring-strict-law-for-data-safety

Public Awareness:

The IT firm will conduct a series of workshops in educational institutions, RWAs, and corporates to make the public aware of risks involved and measures that they can take to safeguard their data online. The workshops will give an insight into the weak points and platforms wherefrom personal data gets leaked, and how people can ensure the safety of their private information. Being unaware of the nuances of data breach and social media settings, the public at large misses out on putting those checks in place, and hence, is susceptible to undue exposure.

Talking about the public awareness campaign, CEO Aniruddh Singh said, “It’s quite shocking to see that despite the whole Facebook fiasco, most people still think that the things they post online and their data on social media has no value and there is no point keeping it safe or worrying about it. Little do they understand the magnanimity of this impending danger to their data getting leaked. We intend to create an awareness about the risks involved and precautionary measures that can be taken to safeguard the data.”

Urging the Government:

SYGITECH is also launching a signature campaign asking the government of India to introduce stringent laws towards data breach and safeguard of online public data. While on one side, government bodies like Election Commission of India and other ministries are collaborating with tech and global IT giants so as to raise awareness about various social campaigns and raising support for business & economic state of India, the same companies can pose serious threats to national security, if provided with a free access.

“Allegations are that Russia played a crucial role in influencing the opinion during the recent US elections. Though the issue remains unproven as yet, the threat can’t be ignored and declined completely. Cookies are rampantly being used by eCommerce platforms to target and increase the sale. People are being influenced to buy things. Same can easily be mapped to the election campaigns and a substantial population can be made to drift. That’s not a fair practice.”

The petition addressed to the Minister of Electronics & IT, Ravi Shankar Prasad seeks stringent law and regulation towards data security and also asks for strict punishment and penalties for breach practices or incidents. The petition also demands inland data storage servers and promotion of indigenous social platforms like Roposo, Mooshak, and TheCollegeFever by the government.

Through the #DataSafe campaign, SYGITECH is also seeking the support of industry stalwarts and IT thinktanks. SYGITECH team has appealed to the Indian IT industry to come together and join the cause. In view of the recent data breach news coming from various corners and confessions of global giants on leaks, the campaign is garnering much attention.

Hotstar and Akamai set Global Streaming Record during VIVO IPL 2018

April 13, 2018

Hotstar, India’s largest premium video streaming platform, leveraged Akamai Technologies, Inc. (NASDAQ: AKAM), the world’s largest and most trusted cloud delivery platform to set a global streaming record on the Akamai platform for the ongoing VIVO Indian Premier League held in India, for the match between the Chennai Super Kings (CSK) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on the 10th of April, 2018.

Viewership for the game peaked at 5.5 million concurrent viewers. This is the largest on the Akamai platform for any live sporting event in the world and the largest for any single event online by a broadcaster. This is ahead of the previous high on the Akamai platform of 4.8 million peak concurrent users, established by Hotstar during the India and Pakistan ICC Champions Trophy Final in June 2017[1]. The concurrent viewership of VIVO IPL on Hotstar exceeded the peak viewership of 4.6 million for the streaming of the inauguration of U.S. President Donald Trump in January 2017.

The Vivo IPL experience on Hotstar has been reimagined to be leagues ahead of the sports experience on any platform in the world, with features like Watch’NPlay, a game that tests the viewers’ cricket smarts as they watch a match, as well as VR and social features, that make the experience more immersive than ever before.

“Crossing 5 million on a live sporting event is like breaking the 10-second barrier in the 100-meter dash. We are proud that we are the first to get here. But, of even more importance, we are excited that fans have embraced the immersive sports experience on Hotstar that has brought together live streaming, the expression of fan emotions and an interactive always-on game. This is the future of video online and we are excited to shape it. At this scale, we will be clearly testing the ability of different parts of the Internet to keep up with the dramatic growth in fan followership. And, we are delighted that Akamai has been a partner that has always walked in step with our ambitions and delivered the scale that we seek,” said Ajit Mohan, CEO, Hotstar.

“Hotstar is one of the pioneers in the live streaming industry in India and has changed the way hundreds of millions of people consume content. With the hyper growth of mobile-first users, it’s important that platforms catering to them factor in the right technology to provide an experience that rivals, if not supersedes, a traditional broadcast experience. Akamai’s partnership with Hotstar has changed how people enjoy a variety of content ranging from general entertainment to live sports anytime, anywhere and on any device,” said Parimal Pandya, Vice President, Media, APJ, Akamai Technologies.

Vivo IPL, in its eleventh edition this year, started on 7^th April and is a 60-day tournament that will conclude on 27^th May. The tournament is streaming live on Hotstar in six languages, including Tamil, Telugu, Bengali, Kannada, Hindi, and English.
