Tanla’s DLT platform Trubloq built to enforce TRAI regulation

Tanla Platforms Limited said today that the company is supporting enterprises in meeting the TCCCPR requirement to register content templates with the telecom regulator to ensure smooth flow of commercial communication between businesses and their customers. Trubloq, Tanla’s blockchain-based stack which was built to solve the unsolicited commercial communication is in accordance with the TRAI Telecom Commercial Communications Customer Preference Regulation (TCCCPR). The SMS and OTPs, when sent by enterprises are checked against the templates pre-registered by them on this blockchain platform.

Trubloq enforces regulatory requirements by empowering customers and enabling enterprises and regulators in curbing the menace of spam calls and messages. Customers can own, control, and manage commercial communication directed to them, safeguarding themselves from fraudulent SMS and calls. Enterprises that have registered their content templates enable an ecosystem of trust by making certain all commercial communication to their customers is safe from fraud and is delivered on time without any delays.

Uday Reddy, Chairman & CEO, Tanla Platforms Limited said, “Tanla’s Trubloq is built for enterprises to enrich customer experience and create an ecosystem of trust in commercial communication. Towards this, Tanla is committed to support all enterprises in ensuring speedy adoption and compliance of the said regulation.”

“Tanla is supporting the enterprises in complying with the TCCCPR requirement in registering their content templates for commercial communication. Tanla’s customer support, technology and leadership teams are hand-holding customers and have been working with them round the clock to ensure regulatory protocol is met with within the seven-day extension granted by the TRAI,” Uday Reddy added.

Trubloq was launched commercially in September 2020 in response to the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India’s request to combat the widespread problem of unsolicited commercial communication, to protect user information, as well as the integrity of the telecom sector. Since the launch, the platform is operating at full efficiency. Tanla has onboarded more than 34,000 enterprises and the DLT platform currently processes around 70% of A2P traffic in India, topping more than 1 billion interactions in a single day recently.

trace-labs-is-driving-radical-transparency-and-trust-in-agri-food-supply-chains-with-origintrail-and-oracle

Trace Labs is driving radical transparency and trust in agri-food supply chains with OriginTrail and Oracle

 

Transparency and trust are crucial for well-performing and sustainable agri-food supply chains. Yet, in too many food supply chains both are lacking. Using the OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph and Oracle Blockchain PlatformTrace Labs has recently launched a solution to drive radical trust and process optimization in agri-food supply chains with the use of distributed ledger technologies (DLTs). The solution is used to set up automated trusted payments for milk to help optimize a dairy supply chain as part of SmartAgriHubs (SAH), the largest EU-funded project focusing on digitizing the European agri-food sector.

Almost one-third of global food manufacturers cannot guarantee that the ingredients they use are not fraudulent. The root cause is insufficient data exchange due to a lack of trust between different organizations. As such, data is often stored in silos at every point in the supply chain, which is a significant barrier to effective traceability and overall transparency.

Trace Labs is actively tackling this problem with unique solutions built on the open-source OriginTrail Decentralized Knowledge Graph (DKG). With the use of the OriginTrail DKG, crucial data from stakeholders across the supply chains can be connected and secured from manipulation through semantic web and blockchain technologies. Trusted and connected linked data is then used in different web applications to improve the traceability of products, increase trust, and help optimize every stage of the supply chain management process.

When a problem such as contamination is discovered, the solution enables quick discovery of the product trail end-to-end. With all the data interconnected and accessible, it is easier to track and trace the root cause of any problem that may occur. This drives down the costs of recalls and prevents food waste. The solution also provides an excellent technological infrastructure for deploying other kinds of trusted solutions for optimizing agri-food value chains, like trusted and automated payments in dairy and other value chains.

Optimizing dairy value chains with OriginTrail and Oracle technology

Milk payment is a complex process and the price of milk paid to a farmer depends on multiple factors. The quality of the milk, the quantity of the shipment, and negotiated margins all play a part in every single delivery that farmers make. Additionally, these deliveries are taken in and processed by different organizations, like farmers, agricultural cooperatives, dairies, and testing laboratories. All of this means that the current way of handling payments towards the farmers still involves significant manual effort to verify all inputs and ensure the right process is respected.

To help optimize this process, Trace Labs paired OriginTrail with the smart contract capabilities of Oracle Hyperledger Fabric to deliver a solution that showcases how blockchain-based technologies can improve efficiency, safety, and trust in food supply chains without interrupting the existing business processes. Using the two systems, the milk payment mechanism that Trace Labs developed enables automatic calculation of payments due to each of the farmers based on the trusted milk processing data stored on the OriginTrail Decentralized Network (ODN) and the contractual data stored in the Hyperledger Fabric.

Notably, the new system in no way changes the current IT landscape, nor the existing business processes. Rather, it treats both as key data sources and a starting point for improvement. Each of the involved IT systems (the dairy ERP, the cooperative ERP, and the cooperative contractual data) exports data in its existing format, Trace Labs’ solution restructures the data for interoperability and prepares it for publishing on the OriginTrail DKG.

Since a lot of the included data is very business-sensitive, data access control and permissioning is handled with great care. Critical data is kept in the secure private store of the OriginTrail node subgraph with only key integrity-assuring data points published to the public DKG (metadata for indexing and cryptographic proofs for data validation). Once the cooperative is ready to make the payment, the required payment data is taken out of the Oracle Hyperledger Fabric blockchain and restructured into a payment file.

Combining all components, Trace Labs was able to entirely automate the payment system by simultaneously increasing the integrity level of the entire process and the accountability of each supply chain partner for the parts that they are responsible for. The solution was initially deployed in the scope of the Smart Agri Hubs project supported by the European Union (EU) under Horizon 2020 research and innovation program.

OriginTrail – combining data integrity, confidentiality and connectivity for supply chain transparency and trust

The implemented solutions prove that effective and efficient blockchain solutions can be built on top of existing IT infrastructure enabling systems interoperability and linked data. There was no need for costly rip-and-replace of existing IT infrastructure for any of the stakeholders in the respective value chains when implementing the solutions.

Importantly, by enabling the users of the solutions to combine both the integrity of public networks and the confidentiality of private ones, Trace Labs ensures that agri-food stakeholders can extract tangible benefits from using blockchain-based technologies. Namely, making sure their supply chains are more efficient, more transparent, and more sustainable. All things which increase the long-term viability of their business and allow for a greater value proposition.

This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation program under grant agreement No 818182.

  • Free cash flow of approximately $60 million
  • Net leverage ratio below 4.25x

Schulte Roth & Zabel served as legal counsel to Priority.  Truist Securities served as financial advisor to Finxera and Kramer Levin Naftalis & Frankel LLP served as its legal counsel.  Cowen served as sole placement agent in connection with the preferred equity investment by Ares Management.

Use of Non-GAAP Financial Information
Priority supplements its consolidated financial statements presented on a GAAP basis with certain non-GAAP financial information, including adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow and net leverage ratio, to provide investors with greater insight, increase transparency and allow for a more comprehensive understanding of the information used by management in its financial and operational decision-making. Priority has not provided a reconciliation of the expected adjusted EBITDA, free cash flow or net leverage ratio contribution by Finxera to the comparable GAAP measures because it is unable to quantify certain amounts that would be required to be included in Finxera’s contribution to such comparable measures without unreasonable efforts due to the unavailability of the information needed to calculate reconciling items. In addition, Priority believes such reconciliation would imply a degree of precision that would be confusing or misleading to investors. The non-GAAP financial measures disclosed by Priority in this press release should not be considered a substitute for, or superior to, financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP, and the financial results prepared in accordance with GAAP and reconciliations from these results should be carefully evaluated.

Vietnam based RedFOX Labs Joint Stock Company (‘RedFOX‘) has built on its latest acquisitions of MYMEDIA DIGITAL and a 2nd generation streaming and content platform by preparing to launch its much anticipated RFOX Media venture and lending assistance from leading platform builder, Brian Cu, former Co-founder of Go-Jek, Zalora and GRAB Philippines, Southeast Asia’s leading ride-hailing company.

RFOX Media will be a direct avenue for thousands of influencers to market to the Southeast Asian population across digital platforms that will also encompass video streaming.

The recent acquisition of MYMEDIA Digital will be the first plug-in of RFOX Media – it is a digital marketing platform that connects consumers directly to brands and influencers across food, fashion, sport, and entertainment and its advertisers include global brands such as Samsung, Huawei, Nestle, Lenovo, Grab, Realme, VIVO, and GrandRoyal who market directly to the 35 million users currently engaging in the platform per month.

Brian Cu, one of Southeast Asia’s most prolific platform builders, will assist RedFOX Labs in rolling out the launch of RFOX Media and securing influencers from across the Southeast Asian market to join RFOX Media.

Cu helped build some of the biggest startups in the last decade. While working as consultant of the Boston Consulting Group, he co-founded Indonesia’s most popular ride-hailing app Go-Jek. In 2012, he helped build the online fashion store Zalora Philippines. And In 2013, he co-founded Grab Philippines and served as president until August 2020. More recently Brian has founded and launched start-up Byahe to tackle and disrupt the Philippines transport industry.

Recently Cu also joined the Board of national airline Cebu Pacific in the Philippines as Non-executive director.

Ben Fairbank, CEO, and Co-founder of RedFOX Labs, commented:

“Launching RFOX Media will be a formative piece in our vision. The ability to scale the ventures we are purchasing and plug them into an integrated system, rolling out across Southeast Asia, is what we have been working on relentlessly for two years.

“We couldn’t be more delighted to have Brian assist RedFOX Labs to launch and scale RFOX Media. Having worked with Brian previously, we know he understands the RedFOX Labs vision. His expertise in building the biggest platform companies across Southeast Asia and also recruiting mass audiences will ensure the rapid growth we expect for RFOX Media.

“We will aim to roll out first in the Philippines and then focus on other key markets such as Indonesia and Vietnam, while still remaining focused on Myanmar where MYMEDIA began and still continues its journey. We have some very exciting and engaging initiatives for RFOX Media and couldn’t be happier with how it is progressing so far.

“The Southeast Asian market has 360 million internet users, with almost a third – 104 million – aged between 25 to 34. They are young, highly platform-literate, and have a thirst for technology and digital inclusion.

“This is who RFOX Media is built for. You can follow RedFOX Labs for further information and details on RFOX Media.

Brian Cu commented:

“Having watched the RedFOX Labs team working from afar, it is great to see the vision coming together after considerable effort.

“Digital inclusion is an important topic in Southeast Asia and the media platform RFOX Media are launching, will help people to create, share and monetise their talents.

“I am happy to help the team realise their goals through the experience I have gained in launching some of the regions biggest companies.”
