Larsen & Toubro (L&T), a global leader in renewable energy solutions, continues to push the boundaries of engineering innovation. Following its selection as the EPC contractor for the world’s first 24/7 solar PV and battery storage gigascale project in Abu Dhabi, L&T has demonstrated its expertise in floating solar technology with the successful commissioning of a 90 MW floating solar power plant in Madhya Pradesh, India. A Landmark in Floating Solar Energy The Omkareshwar Floating Solar Power Plant, part of a 600 MW floating solar park on the Narmada River, is India’s largest initiative in floating solar energy. This government-backed project, executed under SJVN Green Energy Ltd, aims to strengthen India’s commitment to renewable energy. The first phase targets 278 MW, of which L&T has delivered a substantial 90 MW. L&T was responsible for design, engineering, supply, installation, testing, commissioning, and a three-year operation and maintenance contract. Engineering Marvel on Water Covering 2.12 square kilometres, the floating plant comprises over 2 lakh monocrystalline bifacial PV modules supported by 4.2 lakh high-density polyethylene (HDPE) floats. The innovative solar islands, measuring 300 × 200 metres, are anchored at 187 points with helical and rock-bolt systems, ensuring stability against fluctuating water levels. The project also features floating inverter barges, fabricated using fibre-reinforced plastic (FRP) pontoons, providing enhanced durability and operational reliability. Overcoming Complex Challenges Deploying a large-scale solar plant on water presented significant challenges. The presence of submerged obstructions such as dead trees and electric poles from the dam’s construction posed major hurdles. A specialized team of divers, led by a former naval officer, conducted underwater preparations, clearing obstacles and securing anchor placements. Additionally, customised hydraulic drilling equipment was used to ensure the firm embedding of anchors into the reservoir bed. The mooring and anchoring of solar arrays in deep waters required L&T to adopt cutting-edge engineering solutions. Prioritising Safety with DiGi Tokens Ensuring worker safety was a top priority. Over 300 workers received extensive training in activity-specific protocols. Safety measures included life jackets with whistles, sun-protected boats, and a real-time personnel tracking system called DiGi Tokens. This system monitored entry and exit logs, enabling rapid response to emergencies or unauthorised access. Detailed Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) were established for various risks, including drowning, fire hazards, and wildlife encounters. Regular mock rescue drills further enhanced preparedness. These efforts resulted in 0.717 million safe man-hours, with an external safety audit by Bureau Veritas scoring above 85%.

Are companies solving the wrong problem? While product teams race to launch new features, many overlook a crucial truth: users don’t leave apps because they lack features—they leave because the app doesn’t meet their specific needs. Arbaz Khan, a veteran in building large-scale AI systems, asserts, “Companies need to compete on understanding users, not feature lists.” Today’s technology makes personalization not just possible but essential for success. India’s Digital Revolution: Personalization at the Core Khan highlights India’s food delivery giants, Swiggy and Zomato, as leaders in personalization. “A user doesn’t want to sift through thousands of restaurants—they want to see their favorite Biryani place or options matching their taste and budget,” he explains. Similarly, streaming platforms like Hotstar and Netflix thrive by catering to local preferences, such as offering regional content or personalized sports highlights. Personalization Beats Features and Content “Even the best content is useless if users can’t find it,” Khan emphasizes. In e-commerce, platforms like Flipkart and Amazon succeed by tailoring search results. For instance, a search for ‘kurta’ shows options based on past purchases, style preferences, and budget, which drives higher conversions than simply showing the highest-rated products. Affordable Personalization: A Reality Khan challenges the notion that personalization is costly. “A consumer-grade PC can handle 10,000 predictions per second with deep learning models, while gradient boosting systems can process up to 100,000 predictions on the same hardware,” he reveals. Personalization, he explains, can be both efficient and budget-friendly. Smart Architecture: The Two-Stage Approach Khan outlines a two-stage recommendation system that balances speed and quality. The first stage uses a lightweight model to shortlist 100 candidates quickly. The second stage employs a deep learning model to re-rank these for the user. This approach powers platforms like Flipkart and Uber Eats, enabling real-time, cost-efficient personalization. The Future of Personalization Investments in personalization technology are growing. “Top recommendation models today reach sizes of 100 terabytes, requiring significant infrastructure. However, the ROI is undeniable,” Khan states. Personalization directly impacts user engagement, retention, and revenue. Khan concludes, “As India’s digital economy expands, the companies that succeed will be those that best understand their users. The future of digital products is personalized, and those who invest in this will lead the market.” Arbaz Khan is a machine learning expert in recommendation systems. His views are personal.

WhatsApp New Feature: WhatsApp, an instant messaging platform, is preparing to launch a new feature that will allow iPhone users to manage multiple accounts on a single device. According to a report by WaBetaInfo, the update is currently in beta testing and will arrive over a year after it was made available on Android. The feature, spotted in the latest WhatsApp beta for iOS 25.2.10.70 and accessible through Apple’s TestFlight program, will let users add and switch between multiple accounts directly within the app. This is a game-changer for individuals managing multiple phone numbers, whether for personal or professional purposes. WhatsApp Multiple Accounts on Android On Android, running two WhatsApp accounts requires a dual-SIM setup, with each account linked to a unique phone number. While WhatsApp Business allows users to set up a second account, it requires switching between two separate apps. Unique Chat Backups for Each Account Notably, notifications, chats, backups, and settings will remain distinct for each account, ensuring they function independently. This feature will especially benefit users with dual-SIM devices, as they’ll no longer need to assign one SIM to WhatsApp and the other to WhatsApp Business. Instead, they can now manage both numbers seamlessly within the main app.  How To Set Up Multiple WhatsApp Accounts For Android Users  Step 1: Open your WhatsApp settings and navigate to the Accounts section. Step 2: Click on Add Account and carefully read and accept the Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. Step 3: Proceed to select your country from the list and enter your phone number in the international format. Step 4: A verification code will be sent to your phone via SMS; enter the code to verify your number. Step 5: Once verified, your additional account will be successfully set up on WhatsApp.
