MPL Bans Over a Million Accounts in 2022 to Reinforce Transparency and Fairplay on the Platform

India, November 30, 2022: MPL, one of the world’s largest mobile and skill gaming platforms has banned over a million user accounts to continue to provide a secure and fair gaming experience to the users. The step has been taken by the company to remove players who did not comply with the rules and resorted to unfair means to manipulate gameplay results in their favor. Some of the key reasons that led to the user accounts getting blocked include using multiple accounts by the same user to access the platform, uploading fake or doctored KYC documents, using an unauthorized payment means like stolen cards and cheating during the gameplay by using any hacks or collusion techniques. It is important to note that these are not temporary suspensions and MPL has permanently banned these users from the system.

MPL has robust security measures in place that enables them to effectively identify and ban fake accounts within a short span of them being created. The company also uses best-in-class technology practices that enable the detection of fraud accounts at a granular level which includes identification of the devices used to create the accounts. Once a user is blocked, typically they tend to create a new account using different email ids. However, with the help of advanced technology, MPL identifies these unauthorized login attempts made using the same device and permanently revokes their access. This ensures fraudulent gamers are suspended and removed from the platform, allowing genuine players to join tournaments with confidence.

MPL’s security initiatives have recently been recognized by the SHIELD Trust Certification, which attests that the platform has more than 96.57% genuine users and a user-to-device ratio of 1 : 0.9568 which is an exceptional trust standard in the industry. SHIELD is a global risk intelligence company and the certificate considers a company’s trust profile and assesses key risk metrics such as the number of genuine users, user-to-device ratio, and the prevalence of malicious tools used on a given platform. With a trust score of 95.95%, MPL has become the world’s first multi-gaming company to acquire this certification after fulfilling the vital requirements of SHIELD’s Trust Check, which renders it the most credible and safe platform for gaming enthusiasts.

Commenting on this, Ruchir Patwa, VP of Security and Compliance, at MPL, said, “At MPL, providing the highest degree of protection against fraud is our topmost priority and we are committed to offering the users a secure and unhindered gaming experience. This move is aligned to our player-first approach and also highlights MPL’s zero tolerance towards users who resort to illegal practices in order to alter gameplay results and gain an unfair advantage. With initiatives like this, MPL is poised to continue being a safe and user-friendly platform that is trusted by the users.”

MPL has also announced multiple initiatives to further the player-first approach and foster a safe and risk-free gameplay experience for the users. As a part of this, the company launched a bug bounty program that has been designed to reward security researchers up to INR 10 lakhs for successfully identifying a valid vulnerability on the platform. The bug bounty program also allows researchers to report any possibility that can give a player an unfair advantage.

To provide a risk-free gaming experience, MPL had recently launched India’s first-ever multi-game Loss Protection policy through which gamers can claim a refund of up to 100% of the net loss that they may have incurred after playing 10 gameplay sessions with specified thresholds. Available on some of the top titles, this initiative empowered users to enjoy their favorite games without worrying about losing money.

Scope of BBA in Logistics & Supply Chain Management

By Ami Agarwal, Head, Hindustan Online – Center for Open and Digital Education (CODE) , e-learning arm of Hindustan Institute of Technology & Sciences (HITS), Chennai

A BBA in logistics and supply chain management prepares learners for a career in the field of logistics. This type of degree teaches learners about the movement and storage of goods from the point of origin to the point of consumption. They learn about transportation modes, inventory management, and how to optimise supply chains. This is a growing field, and there are many job opportunities available for those who have proper training in this field. If you are interested in pursuing a career in this field, or if you are just curious about what logistics management is all about, then read on.

Logistics Management: An Overview

Logistics management focuses on the transportation and storage of goods. The field of logistics is responsible for the movement of goods from the point of production to the point of consumption. This includes both domestic and international transportation.

Logistics management teaches learners about supply chain management, which is the process of coordinating all aspects of the supply chain in order to optimize efficiency and productivity.

Learners understand various transportation modes, such as air, land, and sea transport and how to select the most appropriate mode for each situation. They also learn about inventory management, which is a critical component of ensuring that goods are available when they are needed.

In addition, they also learn about customs regulations and other issues related to international shipping.

Logistics management’s major functional areas

There are four major functional areas of logistics management: transportation, warehousing, materials management, and customer service.

Transportation managers are responsible for selecting the most efficient and cost-effective means of transportation. They must also be familiar with all aspects of the transportation industry, including regulations, laws, and trends.

Warehousing managers oversee the storage of goods and ensure that they are safe and secure. They must be able to plan and organize space in order to maximize efficiency.

Materials management is concerned with the procurement, movement, and storage of materials. This includes both raw materials and finished products.

Customer service managers oversee the process of responding to customer inquiries and complaints. They also work to resolve any issues that may arise during the course of shipping or receiving goods.

All of these functional areas are important in logistics management. However, transportation is often considered to be the most important. This is because transportation plays a major role in the overall efficiency of the supply chain.

Transportation must be well coordinated and planned in order for goods to be delivered on time and in good condition.

Course topics under Logistics Management

Now that we have a general overview of what logistics management is, let’s take a closer look at some of the topics covered in a typical logistics management degree program.

Most programs will cover topics such as supply chain management, transportation, warehousing and customer service. In addition, many programs will also offer courses in business administration and management.

Similar skills are required in both fields. For example, both supply chain managers and business managers need to be able to plan, organise and coordinate the activities of their respective teams.

In addition, both groups need to be familiar with financial principles and accounting practices. However, there are some differences between the two fields. Business managers typically deal with a wider range of issues, such as marketing and human resources.

In contrast, supply chain managers are more focused on the day-to-day operations of the supply chain. As a result, their courses tend to be more technical in nature.

Some common course topics in logistics management degree programs include:

• · Supply Chain Management
• · Business Logistics
• · Supervision
• · Accounting
• · Transportation
• · Warehousing
• · Traffic management
• · Materials handling
• · Customer Service
• · Business Administration
• · Management

As you can see, BBA in logistics and supply chain management covers a wide range of topics. This is because the field of logistics is complex and ever-changing. As a result, learners need to have a well-rounded education in order to be successful in this field.

Employment outlook and salary information

The job outlook for logistics management is positive. The demand for qualified logistics managers is expected to grow at a rate of 20 percent through 2029, according to the National Skill Development Corporation (NSDC).

This growth is due to the increased globalization of business and the need for companies to optimize their supply chains. In addition, the government’s ‘Make in India’ initiative is expected to create even more opportunities for logistics professionals.

As far as salaries are concerned, entry-level logistics managers can expect to earn an annual salary of Rs 400,000. Experienced professionals can earn up to Rs 700,000 per year. These figures are based on data from Payscale.com.

Overall, the field of logistics offers a good mix of job security and earning potential. If you are interested in a career in logistics, now is a great time to get started.

Is a BBA in Logistics and Supply Chain Management worth it?

A BBA in logistics and supply chain management is a great way to start a career in logistics. The field offers good job security and earning potential. In addition, this degree will also give you the skills and knowledge you need to be successful in this field. There are many colleges and universities that offer programs in this field.

Collagen as an Oral Intake Formulation – the Unique Product Solution

By Ms. Meghna Ghodawat, Founder of Skin Project

Among all the proteins found in the human body, collagen is the most prevalent. Connective tissues are found throughout the body and play an important role in the structure of bone, skin, muscles, tendons, and cartilage made from it because of their fibrous structure. Collagen aids in the development of resilient tissues that can better withstand stretching. It is an essential protein that helps keep many of our body’s organs together.

Human skin is about 20 square feet in area, making it the largest organ. Recently, liquid collagen has gained popularity as a useful dietary supplement for maintaining healthy skin, nails, and hair. Though you can get collagen in powder or pill form, a better alternative to track your progress and up your intake is to take it in liquid form.

The liquid component of many liquid collagen supplements is purified water, though some also include juices or other liquids.Collagen peptides are present in liquid collagen and make it simpler for the body to absorb. What makes this a unique product is the hydrolyzed marine collagen or liquid collagen sourced from fish.

Collagen peptides, which are the hydrolyzed form of collagen, are shorter collagen chains and hence more readily absorbed by the body when taken as an oral intake formulation. Collagen molecules undergo size reduction as a result of the process, with smaller resulting Dalton numbers. Collagen comes in a range of densities and sizes, measured in Daltons. When collagen is hydrolyzed, it is converted into peptide chains with much lower molecular weights (much lower Dalton weight), thus making it very absorbable by the body and allowing it to bypass the digestive system entirely.

Among collagen, marine collagen is one of the most widely used types in the cosmetics industry because it is less likely to contain contaminants and causes less inflammation than collagen derived from animals.Studies have shown that fish collagen, a Type I collagen, can be absorbed up to 1.5 times more efficiently than collagen derived from bovine and porcine sources, making it a popular choice in the health and beauty industry due to its superior anti-aging effects.

Liquid marine collagen is easier for the body to digest and absorb than solid collagen because all of the components are already in the right form. Since nutrients in liquid form are absorbed even more quickly, more of the beneficial substances reach their destinations, and fewer are lost in the digestive process.

While there is now a plethora of collagen supplements available, not all of them are created equal. Whether or not the collagen you eat has any effect on your body is determined by how well it is absorbed into the blood from the digestive tract.

Many collagen supplements on the market, however, are poorly absorbed because their formulations do not take into account the needs of the body. When compared with other collagen supplements, liquid collagen stands out due to its rapid absorption and ability to revitalize the skin, thereby helping to maintain its strength, elasticity, and youthful appearance.
