Ronish Baxter talks to IndiaInfoline

Ronish Baxter said that Suncom Infotech has developed and is launching the blockchain technology platform, keeping in mind that an economic identity is essential to break loose from this poverty cycle. In the coming months, the company is going to introduce a feature in the innovative application that his company is building which would help build a vetted, recognizable identity that would be a prerequisite to participate in any form of transactions or ownerships in the global economy. The secure and established nature of the blockchain will provide a means to share sensitive data without the need to bother about the information getting altered along the way or getting lost.

We asked Ronish Baxter, CEO of Suncom Infotech for the core reason of this development to aid the poverty sector. Ronish Baxter said that it can help in many ways like:
  • Send aid without corruption
  • Economic Identity & banking
  • Allowing access to digitally secure and politically neutral ‘store of value’ as a means of saving
As indicated by the World Bank's global financial index, there are nearly 2.5 billion unbanked or underbanked people all over the world, which represents a quarter of the total populace. For this number, the failure to get access to financial systems and transactions can be weakening as far as not having the capacity to anchor life changing resources.

Darren Huston figured out China

China has been unkind to the U.S. Internet giants Google, Facebook and Amazon.com. But as a growing China spurs demand for foreign travel, Darren Huston a smaller player—Priceline Group—is trying to change the narrative. Rather than going head to head with homegrown Chinese sites, Priceline has invested more than $1 billion (via convertible debt and equity) in local travel site Ctrip, spent advertising money with search services like Baidu and Qunar to capture consumer clicks, and opened 11 offices in the country. That’s helped brighten Priceline’s outlook, pushing its stock up 13 percent in the past month and within about 6 percent of its all-time high from early 2014. (The stock has slid this week, including a 1.2 percent on Tuesday, after China surprisingly devalued its currency, raising concerns about future growth.) “Travel is such a huge business in China right now,” said Glenn Fogel, head of worldwide strategy at Norwalk, Connecticut-based Priceline. “As countries deve...
