AIBDA’s concerns over interest waiver for borrowers.

It is usually the case that someone’s gain is else’s pain. That’s the reason while making a decision, both sides of the coin have to be considered. Although, it’s also true that taking care of everyone’s interest is almost impossible. But then, there’s this condition known as being better off. This means, deciding something which causes the least damage because many a time there are situations when nobody is wrong and yet, a decision has to be made in someone’s favor.

What are the Opportunities for Indian Companies in China

A growing stream of Indian companies is on the lookout for new opportunities in emerging markets. Over the last two decades, China has consistently opened up its economy and has softened and lifted restrictions on foreign investment. The FDI in China for 2019 was $137 billion, climbing a notch by 5.8% from the previous year. China is one of the world's largest recipients of foreign direct investment. The most attractive factor is the large consumer base of 1.3 billion consumers in China. This is a robust trajectory for growth, with ever-increasing consumer spending.

Dramatically declining unemployment rate in India.

In the last few weeks, certain things have changed. The nationwide lockdown got over and India entered Unlock 1.0 and then Unlock 2.0. But, just before this, we experienced quite an unusual time where the only thing we knew was ‘Stay Home, Stay Safe’. People stayed at home but the economy entered into an unsafe territory. The slump is still going on and something which shot up as a result was unemployment. During the lockdown, the unemployment rate touched an alarming height of 23.4%.

How India can replace China as World’s Manufacturing Hub

The spread of the Coronavirus from Wuhan, the epicenter to the rest of the world, has brought China on a global backlash. The Covid-19 infected millions across the globe, and the lockdowns announced destabilized economies. Around the world, this backlash is building up against China, one for its initial mishandling of the crisis that led the virus to spread across the globe and secondly for the conspiracy theories that this was purportedly masterminded by China to weaken the global economy.

Deteriorating financial condition of Hospitality sector in India.

In the last few weeks, many experts have highlighted that India may have unintentionally flattened the wrong curve. Who could forget the epic interview of Mr. Rajiv Bajaj who even termed the lockdown as a ‘draconian’ one. But, it’s not about arguing over the success or failure of lockdown. It’s about the economic revival which depends upon the industries coming back to normal. In this scenario, one industry which has suffered the most is hospitality and the one which will take more time and efforts to revive is also hospitality.

Adani Green Energy to execute world’s largest solar order.

Mahatma Gandhi once said ‘Be the change you wish to see in the world’. It’s not necessary that we follow everything literally. Sometimes, the connotations and contexts could be changed based on circumstances and it is all acceptable till the time the result is good and positive. Take this quote for instance, which signifies that if something wrong is happening and you wish to stop it, then you have to start changing yourself first and the world would follow. But, from a corporate point of view this can be related with innovation and problem solving.

Parle-G clocks record sales during coronavirus lockdown

There are some situations which are known as marketing opportunities. Now, these opportunities could be created and exploited but, many a times it so happens that these opportunities are already there, and the brands only need to spot them. Sometimes these opportunities knock the door in a weird way, and it becomes quite interesting to read about them as a third person. Because the brands which are involved in such situations have to make decisions which could make them or break them at that moment.

TikTok’s tough time going on in India

TikTok’s tough time going on in India. And, a cursory view of Interglobe Aviation’s stock. There’s an old saying that ‘Time is Money’. So, of course wastage of time can never be appreciated. With India being the largest market for TikTok, an impression was being created that Indians have a lot of spare time. Surely, the people consuming the content from the app were not gaining anything out of it besides petty entertainment. And, since people were watching it large numbers, some brands and businesses were also involved in marketing themselves there.

While others Fire, Amazon Hires!

Great leaders and thinkers have a trait that defines them. When others see a crisis, they see an opportunity. It is this important trait that makes them successful. It’s not possible that each time the opportunity knocks your door and you grab it. Many times you have to create it. And, it looks like Amazon India has learned this. You compare them with other e-commerce companies in India and you’ll see that Amazon India is not just any other e-commerce company, it’s in a different league.

How Avenue Supermarts (DMart) fared well against Big Bazaar

EDLP (Every Day Low Pricing) is a concept hailed by FMCG companies around the world. India being a price sensitive market, of course loves it too. But, looks like Avenue Supermarts (DMart) has taken it to another level strategically. And that is why Avenue Supermarts has now become the 11th most valuable company in India in terms of market cap. With a market cap of more than 1.58 lakh crores, DMart has superseded Nestle India as well.

Impact of Stimulus Package announcements on Stock Market

Stock Market seems unimpressed with the stimulus package announcements. And, Sectorial Talks on IT industry. When you expect too much from someone, but the other person delivers nothing close to it, that hurts! It makes you feel low in life and you start ignoring that person who once used to be special. In this case, either the person just couldn’t comprehend your expectations or they didn’t have the resources to fulfill it. The stock market lows post announcement of the stimulus package is hinting at such a situation.

Stimulus Package Highlights: Know about the benefits to MSMEs

When your car stops in the middle of nowhere what will you do? You might fix the problem and give it a push so that it starts running again. While thousands and thousands of elephants may be required to get the falling economy back on track. The government of India on Wednesday introduced an economic stimulus in order to boost up the economic growth in the form of 20 lakh crore stimulus package. In short, the stimulus seems to be sufficient and a lot better than the power of elephants. So we will try and dissect what it has in store for all the stakeholders of MSME in there.

Lockdown: Loans worth 6 lakh crores sanctioned in last 2 months by PSB

Loans worth 6 lakh crores sanctioned in last 2 months by PSBs. And, a cursory view of ICICI Bank’s stock. Looks like whether it is a public property or a public sector bank, they are ‘Open For All’. We’re saying this in terms of usage. The scale at which the public sector is used is extensive. The latest example of this is the amount of loans sanctioned by the Public Sector Banks (PSBs) in last two months. You may be surprised to know that in the period from March 1 to May 8, the banks sanctioned loans worth 5.95 lakh crore!

Why Government is planning to come up with a vehicle scrappage policy

Government planning to come up with a vehicle scrappage policy in near future. And, a cursory view of Maruti-Suzuki’s stock. It’s the nature’s rule to get rid of the old and make way for the new. If we see this through the commercial lens, we observe that old products get replaced by the new ones based on market’s demand. Sometimes, when the market is not ready for the new product (but that’s the need of the hour) then, the government has to step in and introduce the innovation, or rather impose it upon the market. We’re talking about this today because there’s one such situation on cards.

Covid 19: IIT's helping the nation Fighting Against Covid Battle

Excise duty on Petrol: Impact of hike on Petrol & Diesel Prices

Record excise duty hike on Petrol & Diesel in India. And, a cursory view of IOCL stock. Critics of American President Donald Trump say that he has got only one solution for all the problems, ‘Tariffs’. It has been seen many times that whenever the country needs to solve something, the first thing that Trump comes up with is laying a tariff. This is somewhat similar to the excise duty levied on petrol and diesel in India. Government every now and then increases the excise duty to generate more revenue. Now, it has set a world record!

Global Recession: The World Economy Braces For A Recession On 1st January 2020, the entire world rang in the New Year with hopes and dreams that they wished to fulfill. However, what struck the world was like a bolt from the blue. The Wuhan virus crisis gained momentum and soon the entire world was in the midst of a world war, fighting this pandemic within the frontiers of their homes. With lockdowns in place in every country, the Covid-19 has contributed to the collapse of the worldwide economy, leading it to what might be the worst global recession.
