London, As part of a large-scale global trial, scientists in Britain have launched a study to test if the widely-used Bacillus Calmette-Guerin (BCG) vaccine could help protect people against Covid-19.<br /><br />Developed almost a century ago, <keyword id="426791" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="BCG-vaccine">BCG vaccine</keyword> was originally designed to fight tuberculosis (TB). It has also been reported to offer broad protection to respiratory infections.<br /><br />The new global trial will test the theory that the BCG vaccine could help protect against Covid-19 too.<br /><br />The University of Exeter on Sunday said that it is leading the UK arm of the trial, called the aBCG vaccination to Reduce the impact of COVID-19 in healthcare workers' (BRACE) trial.<br /><br />The BRACE trial is coordinated by the Murdoch Children's Research Institute (MCRI) in Melbourne, Australia.<br /><br />The UK joins study centres in Australia, the Netherlands, Spain, and Brazil in the largest trial of its kind.<br /><br />Together, the trial will recruit more than 10,000 healthcare staff. Participants will be given either the BCG vaccine (currently given to more than 100 million babies worldwide each year to protect against tuberculosis) or a placebo injection.<br /><br />In the UK, routine BCG vaccination was stopped in 2005 because of low rates of TB in the general population.<br /><br />In the UK, the trial is initially seeking to recruit 1,000 participants who work in care homes and other community healthcare settings.<br /><br />"BCG has been shown to boost immunity in a generalised way, which may offer some protection against Covid-19," Professor John Campbell of <keyword id="10088767" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="the-university-of-exeter-medical-school">the University of Exeter Medical School</keyword> who is the UK lead on the BRACE study said in a statement.<br /><br />"We're excited to be contributing to the large-scale, international BRACE study where we are seeking to establish whether the BCG vaccine could help protect people who are at risk of Covid-19.

UK launches clinical trial of BCG vaccine against Covid-19

New Delhi, Apr 19 () The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) has flagged to the steel ministry certain key challenges the sector is likely to face in the post lockdown period, sources said.           <p> In a 'Discussion Document', the US-based BCG, which provides consultation services to the ministry, also suggested a few interventions to mitigate these challenges.          </p><p> Sources said in a meeting held recently at the ministry, top officials have been apprised that "boosting steel demand and scaling up of supply chain area would be among the three key challenges staring at the domestic steel sector post lockdown from a longer term perspective. Another challenge is ensuring regulatory approvals for continuity of the businesses." </p><p> An e-mail query sent to the ministry seeking official comment remained unanswered. </p><p> BCG is learnt to have told the ministry that in the post lockdown period, there would be severely reduced demand from major end-use sectors as discretionary spending is likely to move towards healthcare and allied segments.  </p><p> In the supply chain, bottlenecks are likely due to lack of availability of manpower post lockdown. Besides, there may be risks involved in enforcement of safe working practices across the entire steel supply chain.     </p><p> Thirdly, potential lapsing of existing regulatory clearances might lead to challenges.            </p> According to BCG, "addressing these challenges will require actions three key themes. Ensuring smooth operation of supply chains, providing fiscal relief package and developing early trade preparedness for steel sector."   ABI  ABMABM

<p>Hedge funds might be facing a rocky road ahead.</p><p>A <a href="https://www.bcgperspectives.com/Images/BCG-Hedge-Funds-Down-but-Not-Out-Feb-2017_tcm80-219053.pdf">new report out from Boston Consulting Group</a> plots three possible scenarios for hedge funds for the period until 2020. In the worst case scenario, BCG predicts industry-wide assets could shrink by as much as 30% and margins could fall by 20% as a result of fee reductions and increased capital expenditure.</p><p>In that scenario, performance would be similar to that of 2015 and 2016. Hedge funds on the whole returned about 3% last year, according to BCG, a period where the stock market hit all time highs.</p><p>"In the most dire scenario, disruption, the structure of the market would be wholly transformed and hedge funds would suffer significant reductions in AuM, margins, and employee compensation," BCG said. </p><p>In this scenario, very large players and niche players would win out, "and a large portion of the middle of the market [will be] wiped out."</p><p>A copy of the relevant table from BCG is below.

"The hedge fund of the future will need to do things differently," the report said. </p><p>The report set out a number of steps hedge funds should take, including putting an increased focus on their clients, and improving their operating model. In addition, BCG suggests hedge funds "embrace the technology revolution," and change how they source technology and talent. The report said:   </p><div title="Page 4"><ul><li><p><span>"Sourcing. </span><span>Hedge funds will need larger "intelligence teams" to gain access to the best ideas and skills. They should build new partnership models to develop or source technology, often collaborating with tech companies or other investment managers that might otherwise become competitors."</span></p></li><li><p><span>"Talent. The traditional hedge fund talent model is poorly suited to attracting, developing, and retaining technology talent. Hedge funds need a new value proposition for employees, complete with a new breed of manager, a tech-style working environment, and even a tech-heavy location such as the West Coast. Hedge funds must become more team based and less founder driven, with a culture that encourages innovation."</span></p></li></ul></div>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="http://www.businessinsider.com/paypal-ceo-daniel-schulman-venmo-success-2017-1">The reason millennials became obsessed with payment app Venmo has nothing to do with money</a></h3>        <div>            <div>        <div class="ooyala-video-player" data-video-autoplay="false" data-video-id="FteW5hOTE6B1eBIjzxPEz2FI5n0vTbLn" data-player-variable="ooyalapopvideo" id="ooyalaplayer_popvideo" style="width:1280px;height:720px"></div>        </div>        </div>            </div>

'Wiped out': Hedge fund assets could drop by 30%

<p class="source"><span>Reuters</span></p><p class="caption">Logo of McKinsey and Company is seen at VivaTech fair in Paris</p><ul class="summary-list"><li>One of the reasons why landing a job at one of the top management consulting firms - which include McKinsey &amp; Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain &amp; Company, and Accenture - is so difficult is because top MBA programs feed into these companies. They're also highly ranked as great places to work.</li><li>Business Insider spoke with three veteran headhunters who've worked closely with these firms and candidates applying to these firms to get their advice.</li><li>They suggested that aspiring management consultants leverage business school connections for ins or partner with a search firm that specializes in placing candidates in these kinds of roles.</li><li>They also recommend keeping an eye out for hiring trends and specialized practices where your skills could be relevant. For example, BCG has launched BCG GAMMA to address the data science challenges of their clients and BCG Digital Ventures to help larger organizations with launching companies with similar operating models to those seen in the VC world.</li><li>Finally, don't underestimate the power of a strong resume and good interview prep skills, especially when it comes to case interviews, which are very popular in the space.</li><li><a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/prime?module=article&amp;area=summary">Click here for more BI Prime stories.</a></li></ul><p>The top management consulting firms - which include McKinsey &amp; Company, Boston Consulting Group (BCG), Bain &amp; Company, and Accenture - are notoriously tough to break into. </p><p>One issue that makes landing jobs at these firms so cutthroat is that a significant percentage of Ivy League grads are competing for them. Harvard University's student newspaper The Harvard Crimson, for example, identified consulting as the field in which the largest percentage of Harvard's graduating seniors were entering - accounting for <a href="https://features.thecrimson.com/2019/senior-survey/after-harvard/">18%</a> of the class of 2019 - and this has been a <a href="https://features.thecrimson.com/2017/senior-survey/after-harvard-narrative/index.html">consistent trend</a> with past classes.</p><p>As challenging as these top firms may be to get into, that doesn't stop people from coveting a spot. McKinsey, BCG, and other top firms routinely appear on lists of the most <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/linkedin-top-companies-2018-where-us-wants-work-now-daniel-roth/">attractive US employers</a>, and there are far fewer openings in these organizations than there are interested candidates.</p><p>"Breaking into one of the big consulting firms can be challenging," explained Portia Kibble Smith, an executive recruiter at <a href="https://karat.com/">Karat</a> who has four decades of corporate experience, 30 years of which have been on the recruitment side. "It's an 'exclusive' group of companies that accept less than 1% of job applications and recruit from the top MBA programs in the world."</p><p>Business Insider asked Smith and two other recruiters for management consulting on their top tips for breaking into the ranks of McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Accenture. Here's what they told us.</p><h1>Know where they go</h1><p>The top management consulting firms recruit from the top schools, so understanding this reality and leveraging key university contacts at these destinations can give you an inroad. </p><p>The business school publication Poets &amp; Quants provided a listing of <a href="https://poetsandquants.com/2018/09/07/the-top-feeder-business-schools-to-the-consulting-industry/">eight schools</a> - including <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-into-london-business-school-grads-admissions-2019-10">London Business School</a>, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-into-columbia-business-school-advice-from-admissions-alumni">Columbia Business School</a>, and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/kellogg-school-of-management-northwestern-mba-program-admissions-student-advice">Kellogg School of Management at Northwestern</a> - that are feeder schools to McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Accenture. (<a href="https://www.insead.edu/">INSEAD</a> was the top supplier of talent to these firms.)</p><p>"Companies like Accenture and McKinsey are going to <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-into-harvard-business-school-according-to-admissions-2019-7">Harvard</a>, and <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-into-whartons-mba-program-2019-8">Wharton</a>, and the <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/how-to-get-into-university-chicago-booth-school-business-grads-admissions">University of Chicago</a> to recruit, so having a relationship with someone in career services or on the alumni board can be a huge door opener," said Smith.</p><h1>Partner with a search firm<strong><br /></strong></h1><p>If you don't have that direct access to an Ivy League insider, an alternative is to leverage an executive search firm's connections, targeting a search firm that already has a strong relationship with the company you hope to join. </p><p>"Accenture works with both internal and external recruiters to host networking events that they use to fill their pipelines," said Smith, who developed an exclusive event series for Accenture called "Corner Office Connection" in New York, San Jose, Washington DC, Chicago, and Dallas. The goal of the event was to get her clients in front of the Accenture partners. </p><p class="source"><span>Portia Kibble Smith</span></p><p class="caption">Portia Kibble Smith.</p><p>"I'd draw from my network of the top MBA schools, HBCUs (historically black colleges and universities), and the candidates who have expressed interest and put them in front of the right partners," said Smith.</p><p>One way to find a search firm to work with, Smith explained, is by asking your network who they know at one of the consulting firms. </p><p>"I've had people reach out to take me out for coffee or set up exploratory meetings to share their interest in working at Accenture - and those meetings often led to invitations to the networking events with the consulting firm they're seeking out," she said. You can also use LinkedIn to see if you can engage someone at one of your preferred firms.</p><h1>Think about your end goal</h1><p>Atta Tarki is the founder and CEO of <a href="https://www.eca-partners.com/">ECA</a> (formerly Ex-Consultants Agency), a specialized executive search firm with its roots in management consulting that places top-tier management consultants into permanent and project-based opportunities. According to Tarki, who is also the author of the upcoming book, "<a href="https://www.amazon.com/Evidence-Based-Recruiting-Performers-Systematic-Repeatable-dp-1260461416/dp/1260461416">Evidence-Based Recruiting: How to Build a Company of Star Performers Through Systematic and Repeatable Hiring Practices</a>," 10 out of ECA's 11 managing directors are former consultants themselves, with experience at firms that include McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Accenture. </p><p>Tarki stressed the importance of determining your goals on the front end so that you can strategically position yourself for specific consulting firms rather than approaching all firms in a uniform way. </p><p>"As with all career paths, before you start walking down a specific road, take a moment to pause and ask yourself where you want this road to lead," Tarki said. </p><p>For example, he explained, "If you want to switch to private equity in a few years, Bain ... would be [a] great place to target." He added that there can also be large differences between offices at consulting firms. </p><p>"Do your homework and target the office that gives you the biggest opportunity to build the skills you want," said Tarki. He suggested that if you want to work with consumer retail projects, it's wise to target Bain's San Francisco office, but if you want to work with utilities, then it's better to apply to their Los Angeles office. </p><h1>Time it right</h1><p>Whether you're hoping to apply for a job at a strategic consulting firm as an undergraduate or graduate can also make a difference, according to Tarki, who pointed out that some firms hire much more heavily at the undergrad level than others. </p><p>"Bain ... [has] a pyramid staffing model with most of their new hires joining them out of undergrad," explained Tarki. "BCG and McKinsey have more of a diamond staffing model, so they hire more postgraduate students. It'd be unwise to just apply at BCG and McKinsey if you are an undergrad since they don't hire as many people at this level." </p><p class="source"><span>Atta Tarki</span></p><p class="caption">Atta Tarki.</p><p>Tarki continued that if you're a potential grad student whose goal is to get into consulting, it's smart to look into which consulting firms hire from which schools and how many people they have hired from those schools in the past few years before you apply to business school. Most leading business schools share this information on their annual placement reports.</p><p>If you didn't get into consulting straight out of college, Tarki warned that it will be much harder to get in later. "Most firms do over 95% of their hiring straight out of university programs," he said. This is where understanding the differentiation between the firms can pay off, since some firms are more amenable to this situation than others by offering special opportunities for those who are already in the working world.</p><p>"Some companies, like McKinsey, have a specific experienced hire program," said Tarki. "These programs are often set up to strengthen their presence in a specific set of industries or around certain topics. Reach out to them and understand what they are looking for and see if you can gain the experiences they are looking for." </p><h1>Understand industry hiring trends at each firm</h1><p>"Tech has been gaining in popularity among business school students and the war for talent is generally intensifying, which poses a new challenge for consulting firms," noted Tarki. "We have noticed that more consulting firms are expanding beyond MBA degrees and into other advanced degrees to fill their post-graduate classes." </p><p>With this in mind, Tarki shared that McKinsey has been at the forefront of this change, as "they have most aggressively recruited from law schools, PhD programs, and even med schools." He added that BCG and Bain have been "lagging slightly behind on this front." </p><p>He noted that this creates an opportunity for some applicants, since fewer people from law school apply to McKinsey than apply from MBA programs. "Technically you have less competition if you are in one of the more specialized pools they recruit from," he said. </p><p>A number of consulting firms have in the past few years also launched specialized practices. Tarki pointed out that BCG has launched <a href="https://www.bcg.com/beyond-consulting/bcg-gamma/default.aspx">BCG GAMMA</a> to address the data science challenges of their clients and <a href="https://www.bcgdv.com">BCG Digital Ventures</a> to help larger organizations with launching companies with similar operating models to those seen in the VC world. </p><p>"Since these entities are new and few existing employees have the required skills, we have seen these divisions targeting more experienced hires," concluded Tarki. </p><h1>Keep boosting your resume</h1><p>Smith added that, particularly based on her experience placing candidates at Accenture, the process takes patience. Not many candidates come out of the gate having everything they need to get noticed by a firm like McKinsey, so you should be prepared to layer new professional experiences into your repertoire to give yourself the right pedigree.</p><p>"It may take a year or two to get your background right - but it's worth the wait," she said. "Over the years, there were candidates that I recruited who weren't ready for their desired role at the time, but we successfully worked on their experience - on getting the right portfolio of projects and serving as a team leader on projects - which are all things that Accenture looks for."</p><h1>Highlight that you're a "triple threat" and lean on international opportunities</h1><p>Caroline Stokes, CEO of <a href="http://www.theforward.co/">FORWARD</a>, a talent agency and executive search firm, mentioned that breaking into McKinsey requires what she described as a "triple threat": a solid education, specialist experience, and exposure to an international career.</p><p>Stokes offered two different examples of how two candidates successfully acquired this trio of requirements. </p><p>"[The first was a] pharmaceutical expert and business analyst [who] completed an MBA to break into McKinsey in Sydney," she said. "He started life, his career, and his educational journey in India, then obtained an MBA at INSEAD to land the job."</p><p class="source"><span>Rachel Nixon</span></p><p class="caption">Caroline Stokes.</p><p>The second example that Stokes shared was a data science expert in predictive analytics across telecommunications, aviation, and transportation who also taught at a university before joining McKinsey.</p><p>Stokes added that candidates can leverage the international piece of the tripod by keeping in mind that McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Accenture have offices worldwide. "So supposing you can't get into a top-tier British or American university and are granted a place to do an MBA at INSEAD, you could start communications with various international [consulting] offices where the opportunities will be just as exciting and rewarding."</p><h1>Prepare for case interviews</h1><p>Even after clearing all of these hurdles, it's just the start, according to Smith. The headhunter pointed out that Accenture and McKinsey require candidates to take and ace a series of technical interviews, quantitative tests, behavioral interviews, and case interviews. (Bain and BCG also require case interviews.)</p><p>Case interviews in particular - which involve analyzing and solving a particular business problem in about 30 minutes - require significant preparation. <a href="https://igotanoffer.com">IGotAnOffer</a>, which specializes in interview prep to help candidates get into McKinsey, BCG, and Bain, provides some basics about case interviews, such as <a href="https://igotanoffer.com/pages/case-interview">this</a> and <a href="https://igotanoffer.com/blogs/mckinsey-case-interview-blog/accenture-case-interview">this</a>. The site notes that the objective of a case interview is to "recreate the conditions you will face in a real consulting project so that your interviewer can get an idea of how you will perform on the job."</p><p>"For each of these, focus on getting to your recommendation and being really clear," said Smith. "Preparation for these is important, and I definitely recommend practicing the case interview with someone who is a current consultant, especially if this is your first one."</p><p>You can see samples of case interviews for McKinsey, BCG, Bain, and Accenture <a href="https://igotanoffer.com/blogs/mckinsey-case-interview-blog/case-interview-examples">here</a>.</p><h1>Ask smart questions in the interview</h1><p>Smith emphasized that the last place candidates can further differentiate themselves is by asking smart questions at the end of the interview. </p><p>"All of these companies are going to leave a few minutes for questions, and it's not something everyone is prepared for," said Smith. "Come up with smart questions that show you're engaged beyond the job description they posted online and can highlight one of your strengths." </p><p>For instance, if you've talked about how you're a results-oriented consultant and provided strong examples with data to back them up in the interview, Smith advised asking a clarifying question about how they measure success on a given account that you're interested in.</p><p>Smith leaves would-be management consultants with the following advice: </p><p>"If you're not at one of the top firms today, working for another firm and making a name for yourself is a good way to leverage your experiences," she said. "But the most important step a candidate can take is creating some kind of personal connection at the company they want."</p>            <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/deepak-chopra-how-to-unleash-your-happiness-creativity-productivity-2019-11">Deepak Chopra explains how to unlock your natural happiness, creativity and productivity</a></h3>

The report's data showed that companies that have implemented plans that would boost "TSI" are actually growing more than those that aren't. It's changing the way major corporations and investors BCG works with understand their role in society, and how occasionally supporting a charity or releasing a warm and fuzzy ad campaign isn't going to cut it anymore.</p><p>"And I think total societal  impact allows us to get to a different place where, we are saying, this is not just about business being a checkbook, this is about business finding ways to do 'better capitalism' and to do their job of creating shareholder value," Woods told Business Insider, referencing our series <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/better-capitalism">exploring the creation of long-term value</a>.</p><p>In the past, Woods explained, CEOs could be pitched something like a way to make ingredient-sourcing more sustainable through better relationships with farmers and understand that it had a societal benefit, but not see any reason to undergo a campaign that would likely not reach its full potential until their term as chief executive was up. But now those same types of executives have the material that convinces them otherwise.</p><p>For example, the TSI research found, "In consumer packaged goods, gross margins were 4.8 percentage points higher, all else being equal, for companies that were the top performers in socially responsible sourcing than for the median performers," and, "In biopharmaceuticals, EBITDA margins were 8.2 percentage points higher, all else being equal, for the top performers in expanding access to drugs than for the median performers."</p><p>Woods noted that companies like Mondelēz and Mars Inc. have taken this advice and developed plans around sustainability, and that even banks can do things like offer lower-priced mortgages to customers who implement "green" standards in their homes.</p><p>And not all of the socially conscious initiatives have to be those that would stretch beyond a typical CEO's tenure, Woods said. For example, BCG recently studied <a href="https://www.bcg.com/en-us/publications/2018/tackling-1.6-billion-ton-food-loss-and-waste-crisis.aspx">the issue of food waste</a> - how $1.2 trillion worth of food, or one third of all produced globally, is wasted each year. Woods said that when presented with that data, an executive of a food company could see that not only will a food-waste reduction program actually have a social benefit, it could both lower expenses for and boost the public image of the business. And it's something that doesn't need 10 years for implementation. It's something a CEO could feel happy about and easily explain to investors.</p><p>As for investors, Woods said, they are also recognizing the benefits of so-called TSI-boosting initiatives. BCG's report states that in 2016, $23 trillion of assets under management around the world - a full quarter - were in funds focused on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) criteria. Woods moderated a panel of socially-conscious investors at the World Economic Forum's annual meeting in Davos, Switzerland in January, and an audience member asked if focusing on ESG (or TSI) would be a dismissal of fiduciary duty. Woods said that, "all four people on the panel said if you aren't doing this, you're ignoring your fiduciary duty because you're putting too much risk into the business."</p>    <div class="margin-top">        <h3>NOW WATCH: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/value-investing-applied-to-the-socially-responsible-sector-2018-7">Expanding Warren Buffett's value investing approach to the socially responsible sector</a></h3>        <div>                    </div>    </div>

A BCG exec says the same CEOs who used to resist sustainability are changing their tune after seeing the numbers

By Seema Hakhu Kachru <p>Houston, May 3 () Researchers in the US' Texas A&amp;M University are asking hundreds of frontline medical workers to participate in a late-stage, phase 4, clinical trial of a widely-used tuberculosis vaccine that could help boost the immune system and blunt the devastating effects of COVID-19 .</p><p>Texas A&amp;M is the first US institution in the clinical trial to have federal clearance for testing on humans. Researchers hope to demonstrate that Bacillus Calmette-Guerin or BCG mitigates the effects of the novel coronavirus, allowing fewer people to be hospitalised or to die from COVID-19.</p><p>The researchers are seeking to repurpose the vaccine, which is also used to treat bladder cancer. BCG could be widely available for use against COVID-19 in just six months because it has already been proven safe for other uses, the university said.</p><p>"This could make a huge difference in the next two to three years while the development of a specific vaccine is developed for COVID-19," said Dr Jeffrey D Cirillo, a Regent's Professor of Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunology at the Texas A&amp;M Health Science Center.</p><p>"BCG is not meant to cure coronavirus but bridge the gap until a vaccine is developed, thus allowing us to buy time until something can be developed," said Dr Cirillo.  </p><p>Healthcare workers will be the first people eligible for the clinical trial, which is set to begin this week. Efforts are underway to recruit 1,800 volunteers to take part in Texas A&amp;M's nationwide test of BCG's application for coronavirus.</p><p>"It's not going to prevent people from getting infected. This vaccine has the very broad ability to strengthen your immune response. We call it 'trained immunity," said Dr Cirillo.</p><p>Because the human body fights a COVID-19 infection in a manner that is similar to how it would attack bladder cancer, the researchers are hopeful that his work could lead to an effective – and quickly developed – treatment for COVID-19.</p><p>Additionally, evidence shows that the coronavirus can cause damage to a patient's central nervous system, and it even might cause long-term effects that could lead to dementia, Alzheimer's or Parkinson 's disease. Dr Cirillo said the potential for lasting effects from COVID-19 is another reason to get the vaccine to the public as quickly as possible.</p><p>Texas A&amp;M University Chancellor John Sharp has offered USD 2.5 million to ensure research can proceed as quickly as possible.</p><p> The Texas A&amp;M Health Science Center is leading a group of scientists and medical doctors with Harvard's School of Public Health, the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Cedars Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles, and the Baylor College of Medicine in Houston.</p><p>Dr Cirillo said repurposing the existing bladder cancer vaccine called TICE(R) BCG could result in bringing a COVID-19 treatment to the US public in the fastest possible way. </p><p> Because the drug is already approved by the FDA, the researchers can skip the first three phases of clinical trials usually required before testing on people, since this vaccine has already passed those phases.</p>As the coronavirus has spread around the world, researchers have noticed that the morbidity and mortality rates were lower in some developing countries, including India, where the BCG vaccine is widely used.

This growth is fueled by multiple factors including increasing enterprise tech spending, India's growing AI talent base and a significant increase in AI investments, the report titled "AI Powered Tech Services: A Roadmap for Future Ready Firms; AI &amp; GenAI's Role in Turbocharging the Industry." <br /><br /> The <keyword id="19955786" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nasscom" source="keywords">Nasscom</keyword> report in partnership with <keyword id="20058186" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bcg" source="keywords">BCG</keyword> was released on Tuesday at the sidelines of the Nasscom Technology &amp; Leadership Forum 2024 here. <br /><br /> Globally, investments in AI have seen 24 per cent CAGR since 2019, with 2023 seeing close to USD 83-billion investment, it said. <br /><br /> Majority of investments were made in data analytics, GenAI, and ML algos and platforms, as per the report. <br /><br /> Notably, around 93 per cent of the investments made by Indian tech services and made-in-India product players focus on digital content, data analytics and supply chain, according to the report. <br /><br /> With increasing enterprise tech spending, technology service providers are developing a wide array of innovative AI-based services and solutions, expanding their offerings beyond traditional IT services, it stated. <br /><br /> This includes the development of proprietary AI &amp; GenAI platforms, tools for automation, data analytics solutions, and bespoke AI applications for specific industry verticals such as healthcare, banking &amp; finance, and retail, the report said. <br /><br /> According to the report, India has the second highest installed talent base with 420,000 employees working in AI job functions. <br /><br /> India also has the highest skills penetration with three times more AI skilled talent than other countries. The country ranks among the top five nations with a 14 times growth in individuals skilled with AI in the last seven years, it said. <br /><br /> As the investments in AI continues to increase, the demand for AI talent in India is also expected to grow at 15 per cent CAGR till 2027, the Nasscom-BCG report said, adding the tech industry in India is already seeing more than 15 per cent growth in AI/ML jobs over the past 12 months with positions such as AI engineers growing at 67 per cent year-on-year. <br /><br /> Recognizing the importance of human capital in the AI journey, leading firms have invested heavily in upskilling and reskilling their workforce in AI and related technologies, with some organizations allocating USD 1-billion over the next three years dedicated to upskilling. <br /><br /> "Indian tech companies, with the advent of Generative AI, are expanding their portfolios beyond traditional IT and business process management to include AI-driven analytics, intelligent automation, and personalized customer interactions," said <keyword id="19956660" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="debjani-ghosh" source="keywords">Debjani Ghosh</keyword>, President at Nasscom. <br /><br /> These companies are not just adopting AI; they are redefining their service offerings, creating more value for their clients, and setting new industry standards, she noted. <br /><br /> Accelerating this journey will require massive scale investment on AI skilling, investments in ethical and secure AI development practices and governance frameworks and a fundamental shift towards a human-centered approach, prioritizing transparency and human oversight, according to Ghosh.

India is expected to add about $730 billion annually to the overall growth by 2028," said Yashraj Erande, India Leader Financial Services, BCG.<br /><br />Financial wealth in the Asia-Pacific region grew by only 5.1% in 2023, predominantly due to a slowdown in wealth creation in China. However, the report anticipates a significant increase through 2028, with the Asian region likely to contribute nearly 30% of new financial wealth by 2028.<br /><br />The report also observed that global net wealth registered a growth of 4.3% in 2023, following a decline of 4%  in 2022. Much of this growth was due to a rebound in the financial market, as financial wealth, a subset of global net wealth, rose by almost 7% after a 4% decline in 2022.<br /><br />Looking ahead, the report estimates that $92 trillion of financial wealth will be created over the next five years. It also noted that Generative AI (GenAI) will play a crucial role in the digital transformation of <keyword id="21006652" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="wealth-managers" source="keywords">wealth managers</keyword>, with use cases along the entire value chain.<br /><br />"The financial wealth market has seen an uptick in the last year since its slump in 2022. The trajectory has been fairly well but not as good as it was between 2014-2021. For the wealth creation market to go back to its previous era the condition should continue to be favourable" added Erande.<br /><br />The report also highlighted that financial wealth in North America and Western Europe bounced back in 2023. Supported by strong equity markets, North America was among the fastest-growing regions, accounting for over 50% of all new financial wealth in 2023. The recovery was not as strong in Western Europe, where financial wealth rose by 4.4%.<br /><br />"Wealth creation resumed in 2023--but even so, wealth managers cannot afford to stand still. To capitalize on growing global wealth, industry players, among others, will need to set a clear digital transformation strategy and leverage GenAI to manage costs and improve client experience," said Michael Kahlich, a managing director and partner at BCG and a co-author of the report.<br /><br />The report stated that the most remarkable growth dynamics emerged in the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The UAE is currently the world's seventh-largest booking centre and is expected to surpass the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man as the sixth-largest by 2028.<br /><br />Hong Kong's anticipated rise to become the top global financial hub was stalled by a temporary but significant slowdown in Chinese inflow. Singapore now appears to be in a position to challenge Hong Kong's rise over the long term.<br /><br />Switzerland remains the largest booking centre worldwide, growing in line with its historical average of 4.8% and gaining the most wealth in absolute dollar terms.<br /><br />However, Switzerland and other European cross-border booking centres, including the UK and Luxembourg, are growing at a slower pace than Singapore, the UAE, and the US. This shift is occurring mostly because of a stronger demand for geographic diversification, reflecting a continued surge in wealth generation in Middle Eastern and Asian markets. <br /><br />
