    Ep. 179: Innovating Aid: Technology, Finance & Refugee Empowerment

    Can we change how we support refugees to make an even bigger social impact? We speak with member company UNHCR – the UN Refugee Agency to understand how they have been using technology and innovation to make a bigger impact in international aid. Carmen Hett, UNHCR’s Corporate Treasurer, shares how UNHCR has been using blockchain and biometrics technology to disburse financial aid, giving refugees flexibility on what essentials they purchase and where they purchase them. Besides empowering the economic inclusion of refugees, the rich data from aid disbursement better informs UNHCR of the needs of the refugee community, and safe spots to disburse aid. David Sharatt, Co-Chair of BritChamSG’s Financial and Fintech Committee and Global Head of Data Product Commercialisation at Standard Chartered is our moderator for the conversation. In this episode, David discusses how financial services can better support the international community through initiatives such as digitally enabled embedded finance rails. Together, Carmen and David also explore the challenges behind refugee aid, the myths behind what it means to be a refugee, and how the global and business community can better come to support refugees. Carmen also shares her personal stories from more than 20 years with UNHCR, and what motivates her to make an impact every single day. Tune in to the full episode to find out how finance technology and businesses are transforming refugee aid, and how you too can make a difference.

    Ep 174: Unpacking the 2024 Indian Elections Results - What to Expect on the Road Ahead

    In this latest episode of the BritChamSG podcast, we hear from Chamber members Control Risks as they unpack the 2024 India Election Results. Join us for a conversation between Control Risks’ Angela Mancini, Partner and Head of Global Risks Analysis APAC and Amit Narayan, Partner and Head of South Asia as they outline what the Indian election results mean for government, businesses and the international community. While Prime Minister Modi’s Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has secured the election victory, Amit outlines why the margin of victory has deviated from the predicted landslide outcome. Even though this would be Prime Minister Modi’s first time navigating a coalition government, Amit also emphasises that this is not a radical shift in Indian governance but a slight adjustment. The BJP still has the mandate to fulfil its promises to its people and its governance manifesto. Amit also addresses the concerns around potential shifts from Prime Minister Modi’s pro-business and pro-multilateralism stance. He shares how the Indian government might pivot to finessing the minutiae on policy and regulations rather than broad transformation changes, which may yield more opportunities for businesses. As China moves up the value chain, India may also realign its trade relations and seek to fill the manufacturing opportunities from its neighbour. India may also take a wait-and-see approach to engaging with the West as the UK, US and Europe find their way through the election season. Listen to the full episode to discover the opportunities and challenges arising from the Indian elections, and how your business can rise above India’s new wave of governance and policy.
