Why does Gold shine when Economies don't?

As the Coronavirus pandemic has forced the economies around the world to shut down, uncertainty around the world has been rising, and with the rise of fear and uncertainty, there is another thing that has been on the rise, and that is the price of gold. This global health crisis has also thrown the world into a state of financial and economic crisis, and it has always been seen that it is during these times that the prices of gold reach record highs. Be it the economic crisis in 2001, the financial crisis in 2008, or the recent 2020 pandemic; this yellow metal seems to glitter the most when most economies are plunging to their doom.

Coronavirus Cure: Glenmark and Cipla share hits the Upper Circuit

Heard of one-stroke wonders? This is a term that is usually used in the sport of Cricket to describe batsmen who perform once in a crucial situation and help their team win but can not do anything great after that. Now a days, it has also become a trend to ‘Go Viral’. You would have observed that when something goes viral on social media, people remain crazy about it for a few days or probably weeks but then, forget it. By now you would be wondering, why are we telling you all this?

Setback for Chinese automobile companies In India

Three decades of rapid and continuous growth, China's automakers have reached a historic inflection point. The industry is witnessing a new reality wherein sales are on the decline, and there is a paradigm shift from the manufacture and sale of internal combustion engine cars to the pioneering of next-generation technologies. The Chinese auto market has reached a saturation point, and hence the automakers were on the lookout for future expansion strategies in newer geographical markets. These companies are flush with funds and are scouting to invest in a market that has the potential to grow since sales growth in China has stagnated. Who better fits in the frame than their neighbor India for this ample opportunity. India's long-term growth potential of the economy and the success of Chinese companies who have ventured into the non-automotive space, these automakers are taking the plunge in the Indian market.

How Chinese Investment in India is Dominating Tech Space

In a move to curb opportunistic takeovers during the pandemic, specifically from Chinese entities, the Centre has recently revised FDI policy, making it mandatory for prior government approval for direct investments from countries with which India shares a border. This restriction had earlier applied for investments from Pakistan and Bangladesh. Though the Centre has not specified China, the spurt of investments by Chinese investors has prompted the Government to take this decision.

What will be the impact if Indians boycott Chinese products

"Boycott China" is the current anthem that resounds in India in retaliation against China's resentment. Amid the border standoff in Ladakh, there has been a clamor amongst citizens to boycott products from China, which is seen as the unreasonable aggressor. The outrage has been extensive on social media, with hashtags like #BoycottChina and #BoycottChineseProducts trending on Twitter and the video by Sonam Wangchuk prompting Indians to retaliate stating that while the Army can handle the Chinese attempts of incursion in Ladakh, can be dealt only with the support and cooperation of the general public.

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.

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.

Drone Delivery: DGCA permits drone testing for food delivery platforms

Technology is taking over human beings and that’s the reason automation is slowly becoming the most sought-after industrial aspect. Manufacturing has cut off human intervention to a certain extent and now it’s the turn of services. Driverless Cars, robots, drones etc. Are replacing humans and we might soon enter a world where their population (and importance) would be way more than human beings. And, this is happening globally.

What does it take to boycott Chinese Products?

Let’s get started with the trending talk of #BoycottChina.It sounds terrific to say goodbye to Chinese goods, thereby being self-reliant and self-dependent. But, are we riding on quite a high horse? China is not just trying to penetrate at India’s border on the northeast but, moreover, it has penetrated our lives so much that we don’t even realize. Just to give you a hint, the value of goods that India imports from China are more than 515 billion yuan (with the current value of yuan being equal to Rs. 10.55, you can imagine how huge the amount is).And, this was just about the products. Now think about the technology, apps that you have in your phone, and the companies that have received considerable amounts in Chinese investments. So, now when we say boycott China, it’s not just about diplomatically ignoring China but saying no to each and everything that originates in China. And, for that, of course, we would have to develop a competitive infrastructure that can replace Chinese products and services to a certain extent.

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.

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’.

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!
