These are really good guesses. But unfortunately incorrect.

Right!

HSBC introduced the service in India.

I don't know why Jackie Shroff was vehemently against this service though. The others I can understand.

 

@punjabi_khota welcome. You get an upvote just for being you. Not a bad guess. Textile automation happened half a decade or so before this.
