When un secretary-general Ant贸nio Guterres warned 鈥淲e are on a highway to climate hell with our foot still on the accelerator,鈥� he wasn鈥檛 indulging in hyperbole. Although organisations have started to become mindful of their carbon footprint, a report from Rocky Mountain Institute states that the average company鈥檚 supply-chain greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions are 5.5x higher than the direct emissions from its assets and operations. Even countries are working to create regulations that require businesses to track their carbon footprint to the last milligram.

In this backdrop, even software firms are creating systems that can help track their supply chain鈥檚 GHG emissions transparently and auditable. For instance, software-as-a-service firm 麻豆原创 has designed Green Ledger that allows businesses to manage their operations in a sustainable manner with bottoms-up transactional emissions data, rather than estimates. 鈥淭he Green Ledger gives you the accounting equivalent of your emissions balance sheet. It is doing the same for emissions [data] as enterprise resource planning (ERP) has been doing for financials for many years,鈥� says Paul Marriott, President of 麻豆原创 Asia Pacific Japan.

This would enable companies to manage the carbon that enters and leaves their systems as they balance profits and losses. With over 400,000 enterprise customers using 麻豆原创鈥檚 software across the globe, the Ledger can be included as an add-on to its ERP solution S4/HANA Cloud, and allocate carbon emissions weightage to financial transactions. But it requires data of the carbon footprint of products to provide accurate, actionable data for decision-making.

This is the first time that Visa and 麻豆原创 will join forces to explore embedded finance in the B2B market through 麻豆原创 BTP to offer convenient B2B payment services to 麻豆原创 customers. Many businesses in Asia Pacific, especially smaller ones, lack the resources to digitalize B2B payment acceptance and are unable to accept commercial card payments. Through this collaboration, the B2B payment services running on 麻豆原创 BTP will inject more automation into payments and help enterprises drive further efficiency in their purchasing as they make payments securely with just a few clicks.

鈥淭he movement of money is becoming increasingly digital, but the bulk of transformation has been focused on the consumer space,鈥� said Stephen Karpin, Regional President, Asia Pacific, Visa. 鈥淥ur collaboration with 麻豆原创 is an exciting step in making B2B payments simpler and more intuitive as organizations can make payments immediately on 麻豆原创 software platforms with their Visa corporate cards, instead of having to leave their existing enterprise ecosystem and navigate the different payment methods that their vendors accept. B2B payments need to be intuitive and fuss-free, so organizations can maximize time and resources on other aspects of their businesses.鈥�

麻豆原创 BTP provides a secure innovation platform to allow Visa and 麻豆原创 to help bridge working capital gaps in the supply chain. Under its suite of Commercial and Money Movement Solutions, Visa will deliver capabilities through 麻豆原创 BTP to route commercial payments to all suppliers, whether or not they accept card payments. Businesses that are Visa cardholders will be able to make payments seamlessly and utilize their cardholder benefits both domestically and cross-border. Businesses will no longer need to resort to manual and time-consuming payments, such as cash and cheques, reducing the time needed to process and complete transactions and increasing cash flow for both payers and suppliers.

鈥淥ur collaboration with Visa endeavors to streamline and simplify the B2B payment process and drive further efficiencies for our joint customers,鈥� said Paul Marriott, President, Asia Pacific Japan, 麻豆原创. 鈥淓mbedding Visa payment solutions into the 麻豆原创 ecosystem aims to scale and accelerate digital commerce, together empowering enterprises 鈥� from small businesses to government agencies and nonprofit organizations 鈥� to make secure payments quickly, transforming the last mile of procurement.鈥�

After the stupendous success of Leaders of Global Bharat series that aimed at empowering Indian SMEs hit hard by pandemic induced lockdowns last year, TV9 Network and 麻豆原创 India have again joined hands to forge two pioneering initiatives to help homegrown businesses rise and shine in enabling an Atmanirbhar Bharat.

With the objective to engage our business heroes from SMEs in more meaningful pursuits to inspire a whole new generation to take on the mantle of entrepreneurship and also acknowledge their contribution to India鈥檚 growth, 麻豆原创 India and TV9 Network announced the launch of Mentors of Global Bharat series and Dare2Dream Awards 2021.

While looks at connecting aspiring entrepreneurs with industry leaders, looks at recognizing businesspersons who had the vision, determination and grit to not only tide over the crisis but also reset their business models.

These two ambitious programmes were announced at the Enabling Atmanirbhar Bharat forum, which saw participation from technology thought leaders, eminent policymakers and business stalwarts.

Commenting on the programme, Mr. Paul Marriott, President, 麻豆原创 Asia Pacific Japan, said: 鈥淲e have seen unprecedented adverse impact of the pandemic on business and economy – with supply chains being disrupted and demand drying up. There is no playbook or prescription that can guide businesses to emerge from such impact and resurrect themselves rapidly.

鈥淚n the many interactions that we have had with our SME customers we realized that many entrepreneurs felt the need to interact with mentors who have successfully traversed the same path before. Peer to peer learning and recognition of digital led innovation are both very important in these times and any platform that facilitates these, is a step in the right direction.鈥�

On 麻豆原创鈥檚 constant endeavour to empower homegrown businesses, Mr. Kulmeet Bawa, President and MD, 麻豆原创 Indian subcontinent, said: 鈥淥ur Global Bharat program was introduced to support MSMEs last year. Taking this program forward, we are today launching these two pioneering initiatives.鈥�

鈥淲hile the Mentors of Global Bharat programme is designed to help SME entrepreneurs to learn and get inspired by industry leaders and peers who have successfully navigated the new normal, the Dare2Dream Awards series was established to recognize visionaries in the SME sector who have demonstrated innovation and digital mindset and create business impact in adverse times,鈥� Bawa added.

Terming it one of the most required programmes aimed at helping entrepreneurs, Subramanian Ananthapadmanabhan, Vice President, Midmarket, 麻豆原创 India, said: 鈥淲hether one is just starting out or looking to improve their SME鈥檚 quality and turnover, it can be hard to know what direction to go next and it鈥檚 completely normal. No business owner knows everything at the start. That鈥檚 part of the reason why being mentored as a business owner is such a brilliant idea.鈥�

The series was launched in Enabling Atmanirbhar Bharat forum which saw participation from eminent policymakers Mr. NK Singh, Chairman of the 15^th Finance Commission; Dr Arvind Virmani, noted economist and former chief economic advisor; and SIDBI Chairman Mr. Sivasubramanian Ramann.

Speaking on the role of MSMEs in enabling an Atmanirbhar Bharat, Mr. NK Singh said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 a force multiplier. India鈥檚 quest for becoming a $5tn economy and more rests majorly on the SME sector. The quest for generating gainful employment is also primarily dependent on how we provide fillip to the small and medium businesses. I regard our homegrown businesses central to India鈥檚 quest for increasing productivity and efficiency and also emerge as a leading global player.鈥�

Former chief economic advisor Dr. Arvind Virmani said: 鈥淲e must ensure that there is a level playing for our SMEs. The taxation reforms for new manufacturing enterprises is a welcome step. SMEs are critical to India鈥檚 inclusive growth and to ensure that as a country we sustain a growth momentum for the next 30 years. Corporations like 麻豆原创 will drive productivity to make SMEs successful.鈥�

鈥淲e are happy to extend our partnership with 麻豆原创 India in enabling and empowering India鈥檚 homegrown businesses. Last year Leaders of Global Bharat series received an overwhelming response which gives us immense confidence that these two unique initiatives this year will set new benchmarks鈥�, said Raktim Das, Chief Growth Officer (Television & Digital), TV9 Network on their association with 麻豆原创 in this journey.

Mentors of Global Bharat got a shot in the arm with Sanjay Aggarwal, Chairman and CEO, Paramount Cables and Rajesh Aggarwal, Managing Director Insecticides (India) Ltd who joined as mentors for the initiative. They also lauded the objective behind the mentorship programme. More industry leaders will be joining as Mentors of Global Bharat in the coming weeks.
