Huawei technology much superior than Ericsson, Nokia, says Bharti Airtel chairman Sunil Mittal

Sunil Mittal said that large amount of economic value to big US companies like Facebook, Google, Snapchat rests on the people of India.

Sunil Bharti Mittal, Chairman of Bharti Enterprises, commenting on US' stand on Huawei, said that the Chinese firm's technology was far superior than rivals Ericsson and Nokia's. "I have tracked this industry for 24 years. Huawei have become extremely good with their products in the last 10-12 years to a point that I can safely say today that, at least in 3G/4G that we have experienced, they are significantly superior to Ericsson and Nokia," he said. He was responding to a question on if the US' push to not pick 5G spectrum from China was unfair on India, considering the European counterparts' tech was costlier.

"Huawei has actually surprised me on how fast they have been able to take the technology curve to the level where it is leading-edge, power consumption is fraction of the Europeans, footprint is very small and they have very powerful leading features," Mittal added.

Mittal was in conversation with US Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, commerce minister Piyush Goyal, Rubana Huq, the MD of Bangladeshi conglomerate Mohammadi Group and Vikram Kirloskar, CMD of Kirloskar Systems. 

Mittal also said that US needs to understand India. "Many of us have invested in the US. We generally have a very warm welcome in the US. People are enjoying the business activity, your nation is rising dramatically, duties are in good shape, taxes are in good shape. But you are also the world power and you have some duties and obligations towards building strategic alliances with countries like India and Bangladesh. We are nowhere to being a developed nation, we are certainly an emerging market and I think we need a little bit of indulgence and understanding from your side," said Mittal to Ross.

LAook at India - Facebook, Google, WhatsApp, Instagram, Snapchat - these are large US companies. Each of them is dominant in India. They are not even allowed to enter China. So, large amount of economic value to these companies rest on the people of India. I hope you will take note of that. When you fight for small issues like Harley Davidson duties, they are much too immaterial. The oldest and largest democracies deserve a much stronger strategic partnership," he said.

Commenting on US-China dynamics, Mittal also said, "We were surprised how US has for a long period of time allowed a manufacturing industry of that size and scale to develop in China at the cost of decimating the US manufacturing bases. This has been going on for decades to the benefit of China. Because of lack of infrastructure, high cost of production, countries like India could not participate in the process," he said.

He added that with two businessmen (President Trump and Commerce Secretary Ross) on positions of power, their focus is certainly on China. Mittal said that while they were taking it head-on and making some amends, it appears that there's a misdirection of some of their ire towards countries like India. "And I would urge you to keep in mind that this country has opened up absolutely and freely to foreign investments," he added

DDiS, VVT, VTVT, understand what is this?

I t took us million of years to evolve into human beings. The case with IC engines too is not very different, and the frugal yet powerful engines that power our cars today are a result of over several decades of work. The development curves of engines from different manufacturers may have been different, but they tried to modify certain key parameters to bring engines at this stage. VTVT / VVT etc. can be put under one such technology group. In this article, we discuss it in detail.  1. DDIS  (Diesel direct injection system) refers to the type of diesel engines for cars . They are equipped with turbochargers, which increase availability of oxygen, resulting in better combustion thus increasing the engine performance. 2. Variable valve timing ( VVT ) is the process of altering the timing of a valve lift event, and is often used to improve performance, fuel economy or emissions. It is increasingly being used in combination with variable valve lift systems. It var...

Let's talk about few common causes of stroke.

A stroke we know in a simple language is a situation where by the brain do not longer have a free access to oxygen rich blood which maybe due to the clogging or the rupturing of an artery in the brain and when it has to do with an artery clogging, we referes to it as an ischemic stroke and hemorrhagic stroke occurs when there is rupturing of the arteries that supplies oxygenated blood to the brain. Therefore since basically, stroke is a result of oxegenated blood not having access to the brain, so, in other for stroke to treated, then we must try and restore the total flow of oxygenated blood back to the heart and one of the major therapy for stroke is to carry out surgery in case of hemorrhagic stroke and make use of clot busing drugs for those stroke that are ischemic. There are major signs that will be noticed once stroke sets in, and these signs includes; weakness in one of the arms and/or leg, unclear speech and ofcourse the facial droppings in half of the face. This acc...
