Tata Electronics to become a key Apple player after Wistron’s iPhone plant acquisition

[ad_1]
New Delhi: As Apple doubles down on local manufacturing in India, Taiwan-based iPhone manufacturer Wistron is reportedly winding up its operations in the country and Tata Electronics is set to take over Wistron’s Karnataka factory and manufacture new Apple products.
The move will only give a fillip to the government’s local manufacturing dream, at a time when iPhone exports from the country surged to cross $5 billion (over Rs 40,000 crore) in FY23.
Wistron’s factory in Karnataka, that employs about 12,000 people, constitutes a major chunk of its business in the country.

According to a report in Hindu Business Line, Wistron will be winding down its operations and is “likely to approach the National Company Law Tribunal and the Registrar of Companies to dissolve its India operations within the next year.”
The 150-year-old Tata Group has taken several measures to step up its business with Apple in the recent past.
Prabhu Ram, Head, Industry Intelligence Group, CMR, told IANS that the ‘Make in India’ initiative is set to gain even more momentum with the emergence of homegrown majors, such as Tata Electronics, “and the possibility of concurrent production of the Apple iPhone 15 and beyond.”
“As we progress, these initial steps will undoubtedly bolster India’s semiconductor ecosystem and strengthen its position in the global electronics value chains,” Ram added.
According to the report, Wistron is also waiting for some subsidy payments under the smartphone production-linked (PLI) scheme, before it winds down its India operations.

In FY23, Apple shipped more than 7 million iPhones and half a million iPads in the country, registering a 28 percent growth for iPhone shipments, according to initial estimates provided by market intelligence firm CMR.
As Apple doubles down on domestic manufacturing in India, the tech giant is likely to garner 6 percent market share in FY23-34, with selling more than 8 million iPhones in the country in the period.
In such a scenario, Tata Group is hopeful of India becoming an electronics manufacturing hub after the conglomerate succeeded in its efforts to take over Wistron’s iPhone assembly plant, according to earlier reports.

When Sachin picked Laxman as his favourite player among the likes of Dravid, Ganguly

[ad_1]
New Delhi: “You are blessed with so much talent. You can see the ball a split second earlier than me…” was how legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar described the batting prowess of his ‘favourite’ former teammate VVS Laxman during the 1999-2000 Australia tour, reveals a new book “Sachin@50: Celebrating a Maestro”.
The story, narrated by former Indian cricketer MSK Prasad in the book, was from a conversation between Prasad, Laxman and Sachin on their favourite players in the then Indian Team touring Australia.
While Prasad, who was also part of the team, said he liked Rahul Dravid, Saurav Ganguly and VVS Laxman; Tendulkar, who was captain of the then Indian team, declared Laxman as his favourite player.

“If you don’t smile and show your teeth, I’ll say you are my favourite player,” said Tendulkar to the always-smiling Laxman who thought the Master Blaster was simply making fun of him.
But Tendulkar wasn’t. He even elaborated on the reasons for picking the stylish middle-order batsman as his favourite player among the likes of Dravid, Ganguly and several others.
“You are blessed with so much talent. You can see the ball a split second earlier than me. God has given you exceptional talent which you are not able to understand,” said Tendulkar as recounted by Prasad in the book, which has who’s and who of the sporting world sharing their experiences with the legend himself.
Tendulkar, dubbed as the ‘God of Cricket’, as per the conversation, said unlike Laxman, god gave him the “minimum talent” which he was “maximising”.
“I have four gears in my batting — defence, push, drive and loft. I understand the conditions and use my logic and perform accordingly. You have so much talent that you can straightway bat on fourth gear. You see the ball so early that you don’t worry about the conditions.

“That way, sometimes you click, and sometimes you fail. The day you realise the value of the first three gears, you will become a legend of the game,” he explained.
A tribute to the global sporting phenomenon, “Sachin@50: Celebrating a Maestro” features essays and pieces by well-known figures, including Tendulkar’s family — wife Anjali Tendulkar and elder brother Ajit Tendulkar — and cricket legends Sunil Gavaskar, Sourav Ganguly, Harbhajan Singh and Rohit Sharma.
The book, published by Simon & Schuster India, will be officially launched on the occasion of Tendulkar’s 50th birthday on Monday.

Meet Insha Bashir: The first wheelchair bound basketball player of Kashmir

[ad_1]
Jahangeer Ganaie
Srinagar, Apr 02: Around 15 years ago, a tragic accident not only shattered the dreams of a Budgam woman of becoming a doctor but confined her to the wheelchair. But nothing stopped her from working hard and becoming the first wheelchair bound basketball player of Kashmir.
Insha Bashir (29) a resident of Beerwah area of Budgam despite disability is leaping the ladder of success not only herself but helping other specially-abled children to make their dreams come true.
In an exclusive interview with the news agency—Kashmir News Observer (KNO), Insha said, “I was not disabled from birth. I had a regular life like every other girl. When I was 12th class I had been diagnosed with gastric ulcers and suffered oral bleeding and in the same year one day I was at the terrace with dizziness and nausea and started vomiting blood from where I fell down and hit the ground underneath resulting in grievous injuries to my spine.”
“It wasn’t not just a spinal cord injury but this incident shattered my dream of becoming a doctor and wholly and solely dependent on my family. I started suffering from depression, facing taunts from relatives and other issues. My health started deteriorating despite full support from my family,” she said.
“Despite facing all the trauma, though I had to change my subjects but continued studies and passed 12th class and then pursued bachelors degree and B.Ed as well and currently I am pursuing masters in social works,” Insha said.
“My dad’s deteriorating health pushed me to take charge of my life. And so, I began researching my condition and what I could do about it. I came across the Shafqat Rehabilitation Center in Srinagar that gave six months of physiotherapy,” she recalls. Her father, her steadfast cornerstone had been diagnosed with Parkinsonism, and this proved to be the final nail in the coffin, ensuring that she finally mustered enough strength to stand up on her own feet.
After repeated attempts by her father Bashir Ahmad Wani and constant counseling sessions by Dr. Saleem Wani- valley’s famous urologist, Insha was able to overcome this difficult phase of her life.

“Though it took me a long time to accept this reality, when I realized, I started taking everything positively and saw my disability as a challenge which had become a hurdle.
“At the centre, when I saw more people with more complex problems than me, it gave me courage that I am not the only person who is facing this problem in the world. When I saw specially-abled boys playing basketball and other games in a very happy mood, it ignited my childhood inclination towards it as well,” she added.
“Once I overcame initial hesitation, I found the game to be enjoyable, and convenient and suitable to partake in, from a wheelchair. I found the game very interesting and it got me impelled by the enthusiasm of representing Jammu & Kashmir,” she said.
“I was the first wheelchair bound woman from Kashmir to play basketball. I started training others and in some time a team was ready following which I played at national and international level and won many medals,” Insha said.
She represented India in the US in 2019, and participated in the National Championship as the captain of the J&K Wheelchair Basketball Women’s team in 2019 besides that she was invited by the US consulate to be part of the prestigious Sports Visitor Program.
She now motivates and inspires others in the valley to overcome their inhibitions and impediments and take up sporting pursuits.
“Besides playing and training my team, the major area of focus is to encourage differently-abled girls in sports, not just in Kashmir but across the country, and ensure that they have a say in their own lives.” she said.
She practices on a daily basis following a professional schedule, following the practice, she returns to the hostel and mentors, counsels and instructs young girls who wish to rise beyond their struggles and play like her.
“My message to the other specially-abled persons will be that your disability isn’t the end of life, rather you need to be courageous to fight all odds and overcome challenges,” she said. “If your one organ isn’t functioning, your brain is working and that is enough to dream and work on your dreams to make them come true.”

[ad_1]
PARIS (Reuters) – Lionel Messi, who led Argentina’s men’s soccer team to its 2022 world cup campaign, won FIFA’s “The Best” award for the world’s best player on Monday at a gala ceremony where his compatriots Lionel Scaloni and Emiliano Martínez were also awarded.
Messi, 35, defeated France’s Karim Benzema and Kylian Mbappé to win the player of the year trophy.
“This year was crazy for me, I managed to fulfill my dream after so much fighting, so much searching, so much insisting”, said Messi, with the prize in hand.
“It’s a dream for any player and few can achieve it. And I did. I want to thank my family and the people of Argentina for having lived this very special month the way we did, which will remain in our memories for a lifetime,” he added.
Coach Lionel Scaloni, in turn, surpassed Pep Guardiola, from Manchester City, and Carlo Ancelotti, from Real Madrid.
“I’m especially proud because it’s an award that players vote for, and for me it has enormous value. I want to thank the players, the 26 who led us to glory. Without them we would not have achieved anything. I will be eternally grateful to them”, said the coach of the Argentine national team.
Meanwhile, Emiliano “Dibu” Martínez took the award for best goalkeeper.
“It is very good for my career. It is a source of pride for my country. Winning a World Cup after 36 years is something beautiful”, said Martínez, who beat Moroccan Yassine Bounou, from Sevilla, and Belgian Thibaut Courtois, from Real Madrid.

In the women’s category, Spain’s Alexia Putellas won the player of the year award for the second consecutive season.
