Wipro to make aerostructures with Israel Aerospace Industries




Wipro Infrastructure Engineering (WIN), part of Wipro Enterprises (P) Ltd and Israel's state-owned Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI) announced a strategic alliance for manufacturing composite aerostructure parts and assemblies. The announcement coincides with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Israel.

“India is a major strategic customer of IAI and the relationship with India is extremely important for us,” said ShlomiKarako, EVP and General Manager of the Commercial Aircraft Group, IAI, in a statement.

Wipro Infrastructure Engineering said it will set up a manufacturing facility in India in partnership with IAI to meet the requirements of global aircraft original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) and tier-1 suppliers. The facility will make composite structures in India for global markets. It would also address the compliance requirements of IAI, other OEMs and Tier-1 suppliers to meet defence offset guidelines detailed by the Ministry of Defence, Government of India.

“This partnership will not only strengthen our presence in the growing aerospace sector but will also help us explore emerging business opportunities in key markets,” said Pratik Kumar, CEO, WIN and Executive Director, Wipro Enterprises (P) Limited, in a statement.

WIN said that it sees the aerospace industry as strategic to its future. In 2016, it acquired H.R Givon Ltd., an Israel-headquartered manufacturer of metallic parts and assemblies for the aerospace industry.

WTF is bitcoin cash and is it worth anything?

Early yesterday morning bitcoin’s blockchain forked — meaning a separate cryptocurrency was created called bitcoin cash . The way a fork works is instead of creating a totally new cryptocurrency (and blockchain) starting at block 0, a fork just creates a duplicate version that shares the same history. So all past transactions on bitcoin cash’s new blockchain are identical to bitcoin core’s blockchain, with future transactions and balances being totally independent from each other. For practical matters, all this really means is that everyone who owned bitcoin before the fork now has an identical amount of bitcoin cash that is recorded in bitcoin cash’s forked blockchain. But it’s not exactly this easy. If you control your own private keys, or hold your bitcoin in an exchange that said it would credit users’ balances with bitcoin cash, you’re fine and can access your newfound cryptocurrency right now. If you held your bitcoin with a provider like Coinbase, which said before the fork t...

Walmart expands its grocery delivery business, powered by Uber

Walmart is expanding a test of its grocery delivery service, powered by Uber, the company announced this week. The retailer is now offering grocery delivery in two new markets — Dallas and Orlando — which join Tampa and Phoenix as locations where consumers can shop online for grocery items, then opt to have them come to their home for an additional $9.95 fee. Grocery delivery has been something Walmart has experimented with for years, starting with tests in Denver and San Jose of grocery delivery using its own service and trucks. The tests involving Uber are newer, however. In June, 2016, Walmart began a trial in Phoenix, which expanded to Tampa this March. In those locations, Walmart offers grocery delivery at five local stores per market. This week’s Dallas test is larger, with 8 stores participating. In Orlando, there are four stores involved. The grocery delivery service is available via the same online grocery shopping website where customers can place their pick-up orders — a s...
