The inventions in Artificial Intelligence are thriving the pace of invention despite the existing pandemic.
The year 2020 has surprised humans in many ways. From encountering a pandemic, addressing a global recession, and witnessing the global geopolitical changes, humanity is standing in ambiguous times. However, not everything is uncertain. Throughout the year, emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, robotics, Internet of Things, and augmented/virtual reality, amongst others have spearheaded innovation with a promising future. These technologies have validated that despite the crisis, technology will transform the world.
Henceforth, Analytics Insight brings you the major inventions of 2020 that has shaped the world.

COVID-19 cases have only been on the rise, and with the non-availability of effective drugs and vaccines, one of the effective ways to control it is to detect it early in patients. However, the task is easier said than done. While a large number of test kits are being produced, they are not enough to conduct it in large numbers. Government-run bodies such as C-CAMP or Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platform have been a key enabler in driving COVID-19 testing as it has been aggressively building, managing and scaling the ecosystem of MSMEs to produce COVID-19 test kits indigenously. However, they might not be enough.
To scale up this production of test kits to a million test kits a day, TCS has come up with a solution to support C-CAMP in achieving that. In a recent announcement, TCS said that it had deployed a blockchain-based digital supply chain platform to drive the ambitious new project launched by C-CAMP.

In a revised circular, the council said dates have been extended only where counselling and admissions had not started due to delayed CET. Meanwhile, the state CET cell plans to complete admissions to all courses, including engineering, MBA/MMS, law and BEd in two rounds, instead of three.

TCS through its supply chain solution is helping the Indian Government’s C-CAMP build, manage and scale an ecosystem of MSMEs to indigenously produce a million Covid-19 test kits a day
TCS recently announced that it has deployed a blockchain-based digital supply chain platform that powers an ambitious new project launched by the Government of India’s Centre for Cellular and Molecular Platforms (C-CAMP) to scale up indigenous Covid-19 diagnostic test-kit production capacity to a million test kits a day.
C-CAMP’s newly launched project, funded by the Rockefeller Foundation, is called Indigenisation of Diagnostics (InDx), and aims to build a robust, scalable supply-chain ecosystem of Indian MSMEs capable of producing large quantities of reagents and other components needed for RT-qPCR-based and other diagnostic test kits for Covid-19. The project entails eliminating supply-chain bottlenecks, and handholding MSMEs to help them bridge capability gaps, meet necessary quality standards and expand capacities to be able to indigenously produce a million test kits a day.
As C-CAMP’s technology partner, TCS has developed and deployed a dynamic digital supply-chain platform to manage the MSME ecosystem, powered by the TCS Data Marketplace solution. The solution enables organizations to embrace new ecosystem-based business models, giving them the ability to democratize data and monetize it to create value. It facilitates standardized, controlled data exchanges across ecosystem participants with the necessary security and privacy protection, using blockchain at the back-end to ensure the immutability of audit logs, says a statement from the company.
This capability has been harnessed in the InDx project to build a supply-chain platform that aggregates test kit supply data of Tier 2 and 3 manufacturers of kits, enzymes, primers and antibodies, and provides ready visibility to Tier 1 suppliers as well as to C-CAMP on supplier-specific quality levels, capacities and inventories across the ecosystem, enabling the latter to respond to the demand for those test kits from the Government as testing programs are ramped up across the country.
“As a purpose-driven organization, we are delighted to partner with C-CAMP in this bold new initiative to scale up India’s testing capacity, and make Covid-19 testing accessible to every Indian who needs it. The TCS Data Marketplace solution is the lynchpin that anchors InDx’s supplier ecosystem of micro, small and medium enterprises, democratizing supplier data, enhancing supply-chain visibility, and driving superior outcomes for all stakeholders. The success of this initiative sets an example for how ecosystem-based partnerships can be put to work for other mission-mode programs of national importance,” said Dinanath Kholkar, global head – analytics and insights, TCS.
