Earns Silver in Times Higher Education’s Inaugural Online Learning Rankings

SOLAN, India, Dec. 13, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Shoolini University has achieved a remarkable milestone by securing a Silver rating in the inaugural Times Higher Education (THE) Online Learning Rankings (OLR) 2024.

The recognition has placed Shoolini University among the top 25 institutions globally for online education and among a select group of 11 universities awarded the Silver rating for their strong performance and notable achievements.

The OLR 2024, the first-ever global initiative to assess the quality of online education, categorised institutions into four tiers: Gold for global leaders, Silver for strong performers, Bronze for developing institutions, and Reporter Status for participants not meeting ranking criteria. Among the 120 universities evaluated worldwide, 11 were placed in the Gold tier, 14 in Silver, 31 in Bronze, and 64 earned Reporter Status.

In India, Shoolini University joined the prestigious ranks of institutions like Jindal Global University (JGU) and Manav Rachna University, which received Gold ratings, while other universities such as Amity Noida, KLU, LPU, and Manipal Jaipur were rated Bronze. Notably, these Indian universities outperformed several globally reputed institutions in the Bronze category.

Shoolini University’s Center for Distance and Online Education (SCDOE), established in November 2022, has rapidly positioned itself as a pioneer in online education. Offering diverse, industry-relevant programs such as MBA, MCA, MA (English Literature), BBA, and BCA, the center has been lauded for meeting the evolving demands of students and industries.

The university’s success was attributed to its innovative approaches, including personalised learning for communication and job readiness skills, AI-powered tailored learning experiences, gamified education techniques, and unique opportunities like Earn-While-You-Learn. Additionally, Shoolini University became the first in India to introduce a Pay-After-Placement model for its online degree programmes.

President, Shoolini University and Director of Online Learning, Ashish Khosla, said, “Our innovative learning features and commitment to quality education have set us apart on a global platform. This recognition reflects our dedication to delivering impactful and accessible online education.”

Pro Chancellor Vishal Anand extended special recognition to the leadership of Chancellor Prof. PK Khosla, Vice Chancellor Prof. Atul Khosla and the entire Shoolini team. “Their relentless efforts helped achieve this global milestone,” the Pro Chancellor said.

Asset manager margins squeezed as infrastructure bill climbs, PwC finds

Infrastructure moves up the strategic agenda as asset managers confront margin pressure

LUXEMBOURG, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Infrastructure is moving from the back office to the centre of asset managers’ strategy. With profit per AuM down 19% since 2018 and projected to fall another 9.1% by 2030, decisions on what to build, buy or access through partners now shape how firms compete, according to PwC’s Global Asset Management Infrastructure: Rethinking the industry’s piping report. 67% say fee compression is limiting their ability to invest.

Spending is also tied to the past: only 23% of asset managers direct most of their technology budget to new capabilities, while 29% spend more than 70% of it maintaining legacy systems.

Surveying 150 asset managers and 50 infrastructure providers, the report finds AI is sharpening these constraints. Some 24% cite data fragmentation and 17% legacy systems as major barriers to scaling AI.

Roland Kastoun, Global Asset and Wealth Management Advisory Leader, PwC, notes: “The industry’s profits per dollar managed have fallen by almost a fifth, and the bill for the pipes keeps rising. The managers who survive the next five years won’t be the ones with the flashiest AI, but rather the ones who fixed the so-called boring stuff first.”

Market data is seen as poor value for money, with 58% ranking it among the most expensive infrastructure layers relative to the value delivered, ahead of regulatory reporting systems (47%) and core technology platforms (46%).

Meanwhile, some 70% of infrastructure providers expect a larger share of industry revenues, while 68% name hyperscale cloud providers as the main emerging threat.

“Seven in ten infrastructure providers expect to take a bigger slice of the pie, which tells you where the power in this industry is quietly shifting,” said Björn Ebert, Financial Services Leader, PwC Luxembourg.

Some 44% favour hybrid sourcing models combining in-house, bought and partnered capabilities, compared with 21% who prefer to buy, 18% to partner and 13% to build in-house.

The report identifies four emerging infrastructure archetypes, namely infrastructure orchestrators, digital and tokenisation platforms, specialist modular providers and integrated asset managers. No single model fits every firm. Each must decide what to own, what to standardise and where a specialist can do the job better. Those who decide early will be better placed to protect margins through 2030.

Temu Partners with Latvian IT Cluster to Help Local Businesses Grow Online

Published

By

RIGA, Latvia, Nov. 3, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Temu has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the Latvian IT Cluster (Latvijas IT klasteris) to support Latvia’s digital business ecosystem, providing local small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with broader access to digital tools, knowledge, and international e-commerce opportunities.

Under the MoU, Temu will collaborate with the Latvian IT Cluster on its programs and activities, host educational webinars and exchange insights with local industry experts. The collaboration brings together Temu’s experience as an international marketplace operator and Latvian IT Cluster’s work helping businesses across sectors adopt digital tools.

Temu and Latvian IT Cluster hosted “The Path to Growth: Navigating E-commerce for European SMEs” on Oct. 20, drawing participants from local businesses across various industries. The webinar covered Temu’s Local Seller Program, logistics and regulatory requirements, and included a Q&A with Temu representatives.

“We are delighted to welcome Temu as a member of the Latvian IT Cluster. The involvement of internationally recognized companies in our ecosystem creates new opportunities for Latvian businesses to gain valuable knowledge, build connections, and strengthen their competitiveness,” said Aiga Irmeja, Chair of the Board at Latvian IT Cluster. “We are pleased that our partnership has already resulted in joint activities exploring e-commerce opportunities in Europe, and we hope this is just the first step towards further joint initiatives that will support the presence of Latvian businesses in the digital economy and international markets.”

The focus on practical guidance and direct dialogue responds to the challenges of complexity and connection, two of the key barriers to growth identified in Temu’s recent Small Business Insights Report, which was informed by meetings and discussions with over 100 European trade organizations.

“We want more small businesses in Latvia to benefit from the opportunities that e-commerce creates,” said a Temu spokesperson. “Working with Latvian IT Cluster brings us closer to local entrepreneurs, helping us understand their needs and support their ambitions to reach new customers and grow across Europe.”

Temu opened its Local Seller Program to businesses in Latvia in October 2025. In March 2026, it signed a logistics MoU with national postal operator Latvijas Pasts to support delivery and returns for local sellers.

About Temu

Temu is a global e-commerce platform connecting consumers with millions of manufacturers, brands and business partners. Operating in more than 90 markets worldwide, Temu is committed to providing affordable, high-quality products that enable customers to live better lives.
