The pandemic has changed the nature of work, accelerating the adoption of digital technologies by at least a decade and ushering in a hybrid model, the head of India’s largest private sector employer told the Qatar Economic Forum.

Years of fierce price competition have left only “two and a half operators” in India’s telecom industry and it would be “tragic” if it comes down to two, Sunil Mittal, chairman of Bharti Airtel Ltd., the India’s second largest wireless network operator, the forum said.

While billionaire Mittal’s company has gained market share, it lags behind Reliance Jio Infocomm Ltd. by Mukesh Ambani, India’s largest network by number of subscribers.

Porat noted how Google’s cloud business has prioritized targeting financial services and retail to gain more business, after being asked what sets the company apart from competitors such as Microsoft Corp. and Amazon.com Inc.

Qatar could pull out of Gulf debt crisis

One of the largest and highest-rated borrowers in the Gulf won’t need to return to the debt market anytime soon, although he may choose to take advantage of low interest rates.

“The only time we might need financing is just to improve our financial situation,” such as refinancing overdue debts cheaply, said Ali Al Kuwari, acting finance minister of Qatar and minister of trade and commerce. ‘Industry. A rise in global energy prices helped the small country generate a Qatari 200 million riyal ($ 54 million) surplus in the first quarter from the 54 billion riyal deficit it had anticipated.
