But one group of people are not pleased — city residents.Earlier this month, local traffic police posted a social media notice announcing road closures and diversions from Friday through Monday.The document, <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://x.com/MTPHereToHelp/status/1809236631905247702">posted</a> on X, noted that a large number of guests and VIPs would be in attendance and added that the measures were being taken "in order to avoid inconvenience" for guests. The notice and its wording, which also called the wedding a "public event" angered some locals who expressed their frustration on X, saying that Mumbai residents should not be disturbed so that a billionaire can throw a big party.Mumbai is seen as India's financial capital, and its Bandra Kurla Complex, where the wedding is taking place, is a major business district. The city is also the country's most populated, and traffic congestion is a headache for locals. Sonam Srivastava, CEO of Wright Research, whose office is adjacent to the Jio World Convention Centre, where the Ambani wedding is being held, told Business Insider that the venue has experienced "significant disruptions" due to traffic blockages. Srivastava added: "This situation has forced us to reschedule critical client meetings and events planned for these dates. It's alarming that traffic in such a prominent business district has come to a standstill, causing significant inconvenience to businesses, for a private event."The Ambani family hosted <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/ambani-wedding-guests-celebrities-performance-dress-code-party-billionaire-2024-3">pre-wedding parties</a> in Jamnagar in March, which were attended by some of the world's elite, including Bill Gates, Mark Zuckerberg, and Ivanka Trump.The Indian newspaper The Hindu Business Line <a target="_blank" class="" href="https://www.thehindubusinessline.com/news/variety/jamnagars-skies-jam-packed-with-sleek-jets-ferrying-ambani-guests/article67895288.ece">reported</a> at the time that about 150 planes descended into the local airport.

"The Haryana Centre of Excellence will conduct state-of-the-art applied research and provide capacity building and training, an innovation and business hub and technology testing/demonstration centre. It will connect experts, investors, agri-food business, farmer cooperatives, and energy or logistics providers to deliver sustainable cooling," the statement from the University of Birmingham, which hosted the summit, said.

The Centre will not only cater needs of farmers but also researchers and entrepreneurs". Approximately 60 per cent of food should be refrigerated at some point in the food supply chain - a number which will only increase as countries look to meet <keyword id="3374594" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="un-sustainable-development-goals" source="Orion">UN Sustainable Development Goals</keyword>, feed a fast-growing population and adapt to a warming world and fast degrading environment. <keyword id="12932657" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="caroline-rowett" source="Orion">Caroline Rowett</keyword>, the British Deputy High Commissioner, Chandigarh, said that centre of excellence will help improve the functionality and efficiency of the farm to fork supply. "This is an excellent opportunity for them to work together to develop and showcase technology to help improve the functionality and efficiency of the 'farm to fork' supply chain. Farmers will have the tools to improve the storage and transportation of their produce to ensure it reaches the consumer in perfect condition," she said. Lack of effective refrigeration results in the loss of 526 million tons of food produced (12 per cent of the global total) with developing countries refrigerating less than 20 per cent of their production. These food losses result in an estimated 1 gigaton of CO2-eq emissions each year globally, in addition to wasting agricultural inputs such as land, fertilisers, water and energy. Equally, 25 per cent of vaccines reach their destination with degraded efficacy mainly due to failures within the cold-chains; 20 per cent of temperature-sensitive pharmaceutical products are damaged due to broken cold-chains. Conventional cooling technologies are highly polluting due to climate impact of refrigerants (HFCs) and indirect emissions from energy use. They account for 7 per cent of all global greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and these emissions could double by 2030, and triple by 2100. <keyword id="13071369" type="General" weightage="50" keywordseo="toby-peters" source="Orion">Toby Peters</keyword>, CSC Director and Professor of Cold Economy at the University of Birmingham and Heriot-Watt University, said: "We must now figure out how to provide the globally connected cold-chains for a well-functioning society in an efficient, affordable, equitable and sustainable manner". "Temperature-controlled supply chains networks are complex, requiring coordination across multiple stakeholders countries and continents. We need to understand the interplay with renewable energy, climate friendly refrigerants," he said.

New Delhi, Apr 22 () Facebook's Rs 43,574 crore-investment in Jio Platforms earned accolades from industry leaders on Wednesday, even as some internet activists raised privacy concerns. Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra said the investment is strong signal of India's economic importance and further projects the country as the centre for new growth post the coronavirus crisis. "Jio's deal with Facebook is good not just for the two of them. Coming as it does during the virus-crisis, it is a strong signal of India's economic importance post the crisis. It strengthens hypotheses that the world will pivot to India as a new growth epicentre. Bravo Mukesh!" Mahindra said in a tweet. Facebook announced an investment of USD 5.7 billion (Rs 43,574 crore) to buy 9.99 per cent stake in the firm that houses Ambani's telecom arm Jio, as the social media giant looks to expand presence in its largest market in terms of subscriber base. The deal values Jio Platforms at Rs 4.62 lakh crore pre-money enterprise value (USD 65.95 billion, assuming a conversion rate of Rs 70 to a US dollar). This is the largest investment for a minority stake by a technology company anywhere in the world and the largest FDI in the technology sector in India. The investment values Jio Platforms amongst the top five listed companies in India by market capitalization, within just three and a half years of launch of commercial services. Jio Platforms, Reliance Retail and WhatsApp have also entered into a commercial partnership agreement to further accelerate Reliance Retail's new commerce business on the JioMart platform using WhatsApp. Digial payments firm Paytm's founder and CEO Vijay Shekhar Sharma tweeted, "This is extraordinary at so many levels. #GODStatus." JioMart's business model will compete with Paytm services. WhatsApp has applied for a digital payment licence to facilitate UPI-based transactions. However, it is yet to receive permit due to security issues flagged by the Ministry of Electronics and IT. Former IT and telecom minister Milind Deora said the deal is a respite in the present scenario. "Welcome respite from our daily doom &amp; gloom. Mukesh Ambani always envisioned @reliancejio as a global internet company, not merely an Indian telco. As we consume more &amp; more data, Jio's partnership with @Facebook could enable India to become a world leader in AI innovation," Deora tweeted. However, Save The Internet co-founder Nikhil Pahwa said that people need to be watchful about the deal. "Jio is much more powerful than in 2015. FB (Facebook) remains the same. The government isn't as open to public opinion on issues like privacy, encryption etc anymore. Civil society is much weaker than in 2015. We will have to be watchful," Pahwa said. PRS ABMABM
