Indian cloud communications firm Tanla Platforms (formerly Tanla Solutions) on Tuesday said it will deploy a block-chain enabled message encryption solution on domestic telco Vodafone Idea’s (Vi) network.

Tanla, whose products help businesses communicate with their customers, told the bourses that its block-chain enabled “Wisely” offering will help secure all international messaging-traffic on Vodafone Idea’s network.

The country’s international messaging market, or messages originating outside India and terminating in the sub-continent, is estimated to be worth some INR35bn ($470.6m) annually.

The announcement boosted TANLA’s stock, which rose 5% to finish at a one-year high of INR1675.25 on the National Stock Exchange (NSE). Hyderabad-based Tanla has a market capitalisation of around INR229bn on the bourse, where the scrip has gained about 144% so far this year.

Meanwhile, IDEA’s shares ended 5% lower on the NSE, at INR14.25, valuing the mobile telephony company at some INR409bn. The counter has risen over 27% this year.

Wisely developed with Microsoft

Wisely is a cloud-based solution co-developed with tech giant Microsoft Corporation, Tanla told shareholders in a 7 December stock market statement.

The deal “is set to lead the global enterprise market in digital interactions and is expected to go-live in the (fourth quarter) of 2021-22. This follows the success of TRUBLOQ – the largest implementation of block chain use case processing some 350 billion transactions per year”, it added.

Wisely offers “a win-win proposition for all stakeholders – consumers, global enterprises, suppliers and regulators, as we are committed to innovate with the entire ecosystem in mind,” said Tanla Platforms’ chief executive Uday Reddy. “I am confident this partnership will help expand our global footprint...”

“We are the early adopters of the Wisely (solution)…which brings critical capabilities for our enterprise customers,” Vodafone Idea’s chief enterprise business officer Arvind Nevatia commented. “We look forward to building on our partnership and ensuring we are ahead of the curve in the business communication space.”

Tanla, one of the world’s largest communications platform-as-a-service provider, claims it processes over 800 billion interactions annually. About 63% of India’s application-to-person (A2P) SMS traffic is processed through Trubloq, making it the world’s largest Blockchain use case, per the statement.

The difference between trading assets and CFDs
The main difference between CFD trading and trading assets, such as commodities and stocks, is that you don’t own the underlying asset when you trade on a CFD.
You can still benefit if the market moves in your favour, or make a loss if it moves against you. However, with traditional trading you enter a contract to exchange the legal ownership of the individual shares or the commodities for money, and you own this until you sell it again.
CFDs are leveraged products, which means that you only need to deposit a percentage of the full value of the CFD trade in order to open a position. But with traditional trading, you buy the assets for the full amount. In the UK, there is no stamp duty on CFD trading, but there is when you buy stocks, for example.
CFDs attract overnight costs to hold the trades (unless you use 1-1 leverage), which makes them more suited to short-term trading opportunities. Stocks and commodities are more normally bought and held for longer. You might also pay a broker commission or fees when buying and selling assets direct and you’d need somewhere to store them safely.
