A banking expert weighs up what the digital revolution has in store for the world of banking and beyond. We are on the cusp of entering the fourth industrial revolution, known as digital revolution, which supposedly removes barriers of different known/unknown interventions and consents interplays between digital, physical and biological spheres.

EnCashea is a company that leverages technology to find everyday solutions to the problem of waste management. We explore with its co-founder if the concept has a resonance with the traditional Indian outlook towards recycling.
