December 13, 2022: -The Tech Mahindra-Axiata Group Berhad partnership may support the acceleration of 5G in Southeast Asia. Still, the short-term outlook for the industry is “bleak,” Fitch Solutions stated in a country by risking and industry research report.
In the previous week, Indian IT and consulting firm Tech Mahindra and Malaysian telco conglomerate Axiata Group Berhad inked a deal to develop and commercialize 5G enterprise outcomes in Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Nepal and Cambodia.
“We believe this is a promising partnership as it combines Tech Mahindra’s 5G enterprise solutions capabilities with Axiata’s expertise in mobile connectivity, the infrastructure of the network and product service,” added Fitch Solutions.
In Bangladesh, for instance, Fitch Solutions does not anticipate significant 5G adoption over the coming 18-24 months due to expensive mobile phones and complete-generation services.
On the other hand, Sri Lanka is battling a slump, fuel shortages and extended power outages.
“This is leading to a contraction of the economy, and we anticipate the wider technology market to face huge pressures that will effectively cripple the sector. These factors will be on the investment returns of 5G deployment and discourage further meaningful funding,” the report said.
But there is an increase in demand for 5G services, which could guide the growth operational efficiency for the firms, like supporting better crop yield to predict or climate control in agriculture.
In the previous week, Axiata Group Berhad, Telenor Asia and Malaysian telco provide Digi completed the merger of telco operations to create Celcom Digi.
Fitch Solutions said the merger would likely support Axiata’s better take on rival Telekom Malaysia in the enterprise connectivity market.
Celcom Digi invested up to 250 million Malaysian ringgit over five years to build an innovation centre in Kuala Lumpur to support the adoption of the internet of the areas, artificial intelligence, cloud computes and 5G in the area.

AspenTech, a Massachusetts-based company, plays a pivotal role in the oil and gas industry by leveraging cutting-edge technologies, including AI (artificial intelligence). Let’s delve into how AspenTech contributes to this dynamic sector
It’s no secret that oil and gas is a boom-and-bust industry. Production is currently up, projected to increase to 13.7 million barrels daily in 2024. But this won’t last forever. Whether production is up or down, the key to maximizing production, optimizing efficiency, and taking advantage of increased profits is innovation, digital transformation,and automation.For stakeholders looking to deliver safer, more efficient, and cheaper energy, innovation and automation must be a top priority. Those who fall behind in the race to innovate, ultimately, run the risk of losing market share.
Talking to Thomas Hundertmark, a senior partner in McKinsey’s Houston office, Darren Woods is chairman and CEO of ExxonMobil made some crucial points and also gave some insights on what the conglomerate was doing in order to save the climate.
When Darren Woods took the reigns of ExxonMobil six years ago, no one could have anticipated that the Kansas resident would soon face what Texas oil patch vets call “a whole pile of trouble.” Three years later, the oil market collapsed during the COVID-19 pandemic, which dealt the 140-year-old oil organization its first annual upset in four decades.
Today oil and gas producers face severe regulatory and public relations obstacles due to the concern with greenhouse gases and resource depletion. Calgary-based start-up, Advanced Upstream (“AU”), has been disrupting the oil and gas industry with simple and reliable innovative technologies. AU’s products help the oil and gas producers to enhance energy production while reducing the corresponding environmental impact. By decreasing personnel and time on site, and lowering overall HSE risks across the board, the clients can see a notable improvement in their ESG rating, contributing to their bottom line.
Jasmin Staiblin, Chief Executive Officer of ABB Switzerland, says, “Global energy consumption continues to grow and, if left unabated, will lead to an ever-greater risk of irreversibly changing our climate. To take advantage of more sustainable energy sources, the energy landscape is in a state of profound change to allow the integration of increasing amounts of renewable energy sources into the grid, to allow infrastructure to run more intelligently and efficiently, and to ensure the supply of energy is available at all times.
