BANGALORE, October 26: Blueleaf Cyberspace, a SaaS (Software as a Service) company launched 99attendance, an App that replaces biometric attendance. Once registered, all an employee has to do is download the App through an SMS and it registers attendance automatically.
The setup for 99attendance is online and takes just 15 minutes to complete. It is also priced very competitively; the subscription charges for a company starts as low as Rs. 500 a month for 99attendance. Unlike biometrics, automated WhatsApp reports are sent to authorized people in the company on a regular basis. 99attendance is backed up by a powerful cloud enterprise system called 'Weballigator' which offers more extensive features like multi-locations, multi-reporting and flexible access, all at the click of a button.
99attendance works in any industry and at any location across the globe. According to Dr. Joseph Rasquinha, Co-Founder & CEO, "The biometric market in India is expected to cross Rs. 21,000 crores (3 billion dollars) by 2020. Worldwide, it is at almost 40 billion dollars or Rs. 280,000 crores. However, the levels of satisfaction for biometric product performances are low and dropping even further. 99attendance which is innovative, simple, easy-to-install, and gives information on WhatsApp is a game changer."
"To ensure complete security of your personal data, the 99attendance app installed on the employees phone, can be uninstalled at the time of leaving the organization. In comparison, a biometric system stores a person's fingerprint which can pose as a major threat since many financial transactions and services today can primarily be controlled using finger print data," he added.
According to Nagaraj Bolakatti, Senior Sales Manager, "We have gone an extra step to identify and ensure that no manipulation can be done using this software. We have algorithms to identify irregular and suspicious patterns. With this app we have tried to analyze and eliminate all the loopholes in the biometric attendance system.
For Eg.: In biometric or other systems, an employee can always leave a premise once he is logged in and return sometime later to logout, but in 99Attendance, once a person logs in, the software checks his attendance in the premises regularly. If it is unable to register him, it will alternatively identify the location and enter it in the attendance log.
This means that an employee who logs-in and leaves the office will still have their attendance and location registered in 99attendance as long as they are signed in. When a person logs out at the end of the day, the system shuts down, leaving their privacy intact."
Blueleaf Cyberspace has received a number of awards and Government recognitions, and also has other innovative products that help improve and scale up employee productivity. More information on 99attendance can be seen at http://www.99attendance.com.

New Delhi: In a striking turn that surprised even his regular viewers, Arnab Goswami spent the evening of December 4 taking direct aim at the central government over the ongoing crisis in the domestic aviation sector. The debate, aired on Republic, focused entirely on the severe disruption caused by IndiGo flight cancellations and the state of air travel in the country. The tone was sharp, emotional, and openly critical, raising the larger question of whether this marks a homecoming of sorts for the anchor long accused by critics of being soft on the government.
Goswami began the show by saying the central government had “completely let down” air passengers. He pointed to chaotic visuals from airports in Pune, Ahmedabad and Mumbai, describing passengers packed into crowded spaces, long queues, and travellers lying on the floor with little access to basic facilities. He said anyone travelling with children or elderly parents would understand the distress such situations cause.
According to him, the government often claims to have improved the aviation sector, but the day-to-day experience of passengers tells a different story. He argued that whatever help the government may have extended has benefited individuals and individual companies, not the sector as a whole.
Goswami highlighted data from the last three days, saying IndiGo had canceled 1,232 flights in November. He broke down the reasons for the cancellations: 755 linked to crew and FDTL constraints, 258 due to airspace and airport restrictions, 92 because of failures in air traffic control systems, 127 for other reasons.
He said passengers in India are often “taken for granted” and that only in this country can such large-scale cancellations take place without consequences.
Throughout the debate, Goswami repeatedly returned to the theme of duopoly. He said Air India and IndiGo together control 91.5 percent of the aviation market, leaving only a small share for others like Akasa and SpiceJet. This, he said, gives the two big players the power to decide prices and escape accountability.
“They can set the prices. They can torture passengers. They can be not answerable for air crashes.” He added.
Goswami also questioned why such a structure is allowed to exist if the government claims it opposes monopolies. He asked whether the government has made Air India accountable after the recent air crash, and said he did not believe so.
“We are told that the Modi government does not like monopolies. First of all, I don't agree with that. There are too many monopolies happening.” He said.
The anchor accused Air India of operating aircraft that were not airworthy and said no serious action followed. According to him, any other minister in charge of civil aviation would have been removed after such incidents, but nothing happened.
“He is not answerable. And why is the central government not bothered about it? Because he comes from the TDP, an alliance party. So let him do,” he said.
He added that Air India continues to seek government support, including compensation for losses after the Sindhur episode. Goswami questioned why public money should be used to support the airline, drawing a comparison with the earlier controversy involving Vijay Mallya seeking help from the Manmohan Singh government a move that was labelled as scam.
Goswami said passengers are suffering because of delayed flights, sudden cancellations, and lack of compensation. He criticised the DGCA, saying it was not enforcing safety and operational norms. He also questioned why the Prime Minister’s Office had not intervened.
He noted that Republic had carried multiple exposés on these issues and claimed that Air India chooses to give interviews and advertisements only to other channels.
He also called for Parliament to debate the aviation mess and examine whether monopolies or duopolies should be allowed in a nation of India’s size.
“I'm sure the government's not going to be happy with us saying this, but someone's got to speak up for the people of this country.” He added.
Known by his critics as the “Godi Media Chief”, Goswami’s direct attack on the Modi government over civil aviation raised eyebrows across media circles.
Whether this is a one-off outburst or a sign of a new editorial direction is something viewers will be watching closely.
