Digital Rupee

What Industry Stakeholders Think Of The Digital Rupee In 2022–23?

The anticipated Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC), the Digital Rupee, will be launched in 2022-23, according to Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, who presented the Union Budget for the financial year 2022 on Tuesday. The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) will issue the digital currency, which will be based on blockchain technology, according to the minister. It will, however, differ from traditional cryptocurrencies such as bitcoin and ether, which are decentralized.

In her budget speech, Sitharaman, 62, said the digital rupee aims to “give a big boost to the digital economy” and lead to a “more efficient and affordable currency management system.” The exact name of the digital rupee will be decided later. The finance minister gave no further details about the long-awaited CBDC in her hour-and-a-half speech. She later explained in a press conference, however, that the digital rupee will be treated differently than other digital assets and cryptocurrencies.

“Currency is only currency when it is issued by the central bank, even if it is cryptocurrency. Anything beyond that, loosely speaking, we all refer to cryptocurrencies, they are not currencies,” she explained.
Plans for a digital rupee, for example, have been rumored for some time. In response to a question from the upper house, Finance Minister Anurag Singh Thakur proposed its formation in February of last year.
The government’s decision to create its own digital currency was applauded by the industry.

The news of the launch of digital rupees on the blockchain, according to Nischal Shetty, CEO of crypto exchanges and wallet WazirX, is “amazing,” indicating that the country is on the road to legalizing the crypto sector. Yes, I am.
“This move will pave the way for the adoption of cryptocurrencies and put India at the forefront of innovation,” he said.
Other cryptocurrency stakeholders agree with Shetty’s viewpoints and are optimistic about the future.

“The introduction of a CBDC clearly shows that India is a digital-first, efficiency-driven, and transparency-led system,” said Sumit Gupta, co-founder, and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange CoinDCX.
The launch of the digital Rupee by the RBI, according to Avinash Shekhar, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange ZebPay, will help familiarise Indian consumers with the benefits and efficiency of virtual currency and build an appetite for crypto and blockchain.

“The Budget focused heavily on integrating technology across sectors, and the gradual acceptance of a digital currency, blockchain, and virtual digital assets has the potential to make India a leader in this new paradigm of blockchain-enabled revolution,” Shekhar said.
The launch of the digital currency, according to Shivam Thakral, CEO of cryptocurrency exchange and wallet BuyUcoin, will catalyze the growth of blockchain infrastructure in the country.
“If RBI allows the trading of CBDC on private exchanges, it will add a new dimension to public-private partnerships in India’s fintech space,” he said. The arrival of the new currency, according to Ashish Singhal, Founder, and CEO of cryptocurrency exchange CoinSwitch Kuber and Co-Chair of the Blockchain and Cryptocurrency Assets Council (BACC), will accelerate digitization in the country.

“We also believe that various budget measures to improve digital payments adoption will induce more digital-savvy Indians into the financial ecosystem willing to explore newer forms of investing and wealth creation,” Singhal added.
Fintech companies have reacted positively to the government’s announcement to enter the digital currency space, in addition to cryptocurrency exchanges.
“The official announcement of India’s CBDC (Digital Rupee) launch is a long-awaited positive move that will create a wave of preparatory work among retail payment providers,” he said.
The introduction of digital rupees, according to Harshil Mathur, CEO, and co-founder of payment gateway RazorPay, will help reduce the financial and physical effort required to manage money.
Puneet Gupta, managing director and vice president of data management firm NetApp India, agreed that the announcement would aid in the creation of a framework for emerging technologies.
Users can only go from traditional digital senders to digital recipients, according to digital payment strategist Ram Lastgi, when it comes to how central bank digital currencies, or CBDCs, can help boost the domestic digital economy. He stated that he would be able to conduct digital transactions. From a digital sender to an offline receiver, in a sense.

He explained that “smartphone users can make payments for digital currencies via QR codes, while non-smartphone users can make payments via SMS string-based electronic vouchers.”
Payments via SMS string-based electronic vouchers, he added, will gradually allow people who don’t have smartphones to accept digital methods.
Market analysts also believe that the addition of a digital currency to the existing Rupee would reduce economic leakages by reducing reliance on physical cash.
Abheek Barua, Chief Economist at HDFC Bank, believes that digital currency will have an impact on banks. “The implications of the same will have to be thought through further,” he said.

According to Pankit Desai, Co-Founder, and CEO of Mumbai-based cybersecurity startup Sequretek, the government should focus on raising awareness and education among businesses and consumers about the importance of cybersecurity, privacy, and data security, as well as bringing technological advancements in digital payments for sustainable growth.
Madhusudan E, a member of the Fintech Association for Consumer Empowerment (FACE) and Co-Founder and CEO of personal loan platform KreditBee, also emphasized the importance of paying attention to the digital currency’s implementation process.
While the government is finally moving to launch the country’s digital currency as an alternative to cryptocurrencies, some experts have pointed out that the government does not recognize any other digital currencies in the country.

Apple

Apple Will Continue To Be The Most Valuable Brand, Followed By Amazon, Google, And Microsoft.

According to a report, Apple will retain its title as the world’s most valuable brand in 2022, with a valuation of $355.1 billion (roughly Rs. 26,72,600 crores). The Cupertino company’s value has increased by 35% as a result of its increased market recognition. After Apple, Amazon, and Google were named among the year’s top three most valuable brands. TikTok, on the other hand, has become the world’s fastest-growing brand, with a valuation that is expected to increase by 215 percent by 2022.

Apple has become the first brand to reach a market valuation of $3 trillion, according to Brand Finance’s latest ranking report. In 2021, the company’s branding increased from $263.37 billion (roughly Rs. 19,83,000 crore) to $355.1 billion in 2022.

According to the report, Apple’s brand value increased by 35% year over year to reach a new high. The success of the iPhone 12 and iPhone 13 around the world was a major factor in the company’s growth. The company’s slew of products across other verticals, however, only added to this. The new generation of iPads, iMacs, MacBooks, and the AirTag are among them.

In addition, Apple’s diverse range of services has grown significantly. Apple Music, Apple Pay, Apple TV, and other platforms grew in popularity and revenue, propelling Apple’s brand value to new heights.

“The iPhone continues to account for roughly half of Apple’s sales. “However, with a new generation of iPads, an overhaul of the iMac, and the introduction of AirTags, Apple has given more attention to its other suite of products this year,” the company said.

In 2022, Amazon is ranked second in Brand Finance’s Global 500 ranking, following Apple. With a 38 percent increase to $350.3 billion, the US e-commerce behemoth joined the iPhone maker in surpassing the $300 billion mark (roughly Rs. 26,36,800 crore).
“Amazon considers logistics to be critical, and it is building its own end-to-end supply chain with a growing fleet of trucks, vans, and planes. The brand has invested an estimated $80 billion in its logistics division between 2020 and 2021, compared to a combined $58 billion in the previous five years, according to the firm.

According to Model Finance, Google’s model worth increased by 38 percent this year to $263.4 billion (roughly Rs. 19,82,880 crore). According to the agency, because Google relies on advertising for the vast majority of its revenue, it was initially harmed by the COVID-19 pandemic as advertising spending fell. The search giant’s business, on the other hand, rebounded as the world adjusted to the new standard, according to the report.
This year, Microsoft remained in fourth place in Model Finance’s World 500 ranking, trailing only Google. The company’s value has increased by over 31% to $184.2 billion (roughly Rs. 13,86,390 crore).
Walmart has surpassed Samsung to become the fourth most valuable brand in 2022, according to Brand Finance. The company now has a brand value of $ 111.91 billion, up 20% from $ 93.18 billion last year.
Samsung, on the other hand, dropped to fifth place with a brand value of $ 107.28 billion (about 860,200 rupees). The company has risen to the top 25 most valuable brands in brand finance, making it the only Korean company to do so.
In this year’s Brand Finance 500 rankings, Huawei, unlike Samsung, has risen from 21st to 9th place. The value of Chinese companies has increased by 29% to $ 71.2 billion, according to the company.

“US sanctions hit Huawei’s smartphone business hard, but the company responded positively by ramping up investment in both domestic technology companies and R&D, as well as shifting its focus to cloud services,” according to Brand Finance.

TikTok has been named the world’s fastest-growing brand by Brand Finance, in addition to the leading top-value brands.

It ranked 18th among the top 500 most valuable brands in the world, according to the brand valuation consultancy.

Snapchat, like TikTok, became a popular app this year, with its brand value increasing. According to Brand Finance, the app’s brand value increased by 184 percent to $6.6 billion (roughly Rs. 49,600 crore).
For the second year in a row, the firm has named WeChat the world’s most powerful brand. According to the report, it had a brand value of $62.30 billion (roughly Rs. 4,68,100 crore) in 2022.

In the Brand Finance Global 500 ranking for 2022, the technology sector was once again the most valuable. According to the firm, the sector’s total brand value has surpassed $1.3 trillion (roughly Rs. 97,66,315 crore).
It’s important to note that the brand values reported by Brand Finance are calculated independently by the company and do not reflect the brand’s market capitalization.
