As we look forward to exciting opportunities that await us in 2025, we also kept a keen eye on the developments happened across various industries during 2024. In the latter half of 2024, our blogs touched upon key topics such as semiconductor trends for 2024 and how crypto EFTs are giving a boost to the fintech trading platforms. Our blog on the evolution of payments focused on the emergence of cross-border and real-time payments. Our latest blog on fintech firms explored how fintechs are giving tough competition to established banks in the US. We also published a blog on the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), highlighting key insights and challenges related to the directive. Additionally, our whitepaper on Sustainability Reporting uncovered how corporates shifted their focus on reporting sustainable corporate practices as well as along with financial performance disclosures.
