Rakesh Jhunjhunwala’s Target: Shed 20 kilos, give Rs 5000 cr to philanthropy

Rakesh Jhunjhunwala has set himself two important targets. By the end of the year, the man people like to call India’s Warren Buffett wants to be 20 kilos lighter than what he was at his peak weight. The second target is more serious: Jhunjhunwala plans to give away Rs 5,000 crore or 25 percent of his total wealth, whichever is lower, to philanthropy when he turns 60 on July 5, 2020.

Exclusive: Sweden to get world's first remote-controlled airport

On a clear day, Per Granquist cannot see forever. But from his perch inside the airport control tower here, he does have an unobstructed view of the future. The big picture is provided from a 33-foot mast where a gray turret holds an array of digital video cameras, communications antennas, sensors and microphones -a setup that resembles a cross between a space-age dovecote and a prison guard tower. 

The system is meant to collect and integrate information of the sort that Granquist, 40, has been providing with his own eyes and ears as an air traffic controller for the last 17 years at this airport in Sweden. The information from this array, though, is being sent elsewhere -beamed by fibre-optic cable to a windowless room of another airport, 161km south, in Sundsvall.
