Farmers need access to markets that will get them the greatest price in a system that is well-run. Farmers' anxieties of corporate takeover of India's agro markets would be alleviated by the Prime Minister's declaration. The more important issue is whether the current scenario of over-dependence on intermediaries is preferable. On November 19, Prime Minister Narendra Modi stated that the government would abolish three agriculture regulations that have sparked a year of demonstrations by farmers camped around Delhi's borders. The agricultural demonstrations will almost certainly be called off as a consequence of Modi's decision, with agitated leaders claiming triumph for forcing the government to reverse its policies. The purpose of enacting the three agricultural laws, according to the Prime Minister, was to empower farmers, particularly small farms. The three laws benefited farmers, and many farmers throughout India applauded them, but the government "couldn...

Paytm is one of the most well-known brands in India, particularly in the post-demonetization period. In the years after demonetization, the payments platform has grown at a breakneck pace. And it's for this reason that the company's IPO, India's largest ever, had everyone's eyes fixed to the stock market. The IPO, however, made news not for the amount of money collected, but for the dramatic drop in share price during trading on the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) on November 18. The offer price was Rs 2,150, but the shares were trading at 1,614 rupees each by the afternoon. The stock even dropped below the lower circuit limit of 1,564 rupees. When a stock reaches this level, the BSE bans investor purchases to that level or above. What went wrong? In India's online payments business, Paytm is the big fish. SoftBank and Ant Group are among its supporters, as are other major corporations with huge wallets. In India, the third-largest economy in Asia and a major worldwide ...

The Synopsis In view of the rising number of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) flooding the public markets, the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has produced a consultation paper. In recent years, the markets have seen three major trends: large-cap IPOs, many technology company listings, and a rise in the number of offers for sale compared to new stocks issues. The SEBI is primarily concerned with concerns that arise as a result of these three tendencies. Companies will be required to provide more disclosures. When a business needs more funding, it will issue more stock shares to investors. Companies must describe how the cash will be used in this situation. Asset-light technology enterprises, on the other hand, do not need funding for typical capital expenditures such as the construction of factories, showrooms, or other traditional capital expenditures. Instead, these organisations put their money towards things like client acquisition, brand promotion, expanding into new ...

The Synopsis Tata Sons went to the Delhi high court a few months back after discovering a fairly dubious plot. They were alerted to the fact that two businesses (located in the United Kingdom and the United States) were circulating crypto tokens under the name $Tata. And, although you would assume that this is a basic play on the Tata brand's popularity and goodwill, things aren't quite that simple. One of the defendants in the case maintained a website named www.hakunamatata.finance, which has a "tata" at the end of the name if you look closely. Hakuna Matata is also a Swahili expression that approximately translates to "don't worry." As a result of the phrase's popularity in the film "Lion King," there's another viewpoint worth considering. Tata Sons, on the other hand, claimed that both firms targeted Indian citizens while selling and buying this strange coin. A charity partner headquartered in India is mentioned in the whitepaper de...

The Synopsis Is it possible that the ease of shopping for garments online will persuade Indians to abandon the "try-before-you-buy" mentality? That was the wager made by Myntra in 2011. It has just shifted its focus from customised gifts to fashion. And it was successful. Myntra became India's top online fashion platform in only a few years. Flipkart came knocking in 2013. It wants to expand its fashion portfolio, so it bought Myntra. Myntra, on the other hand, continued to iterate. It transitioned from an inventory-led approach, in which they purchased garments from manufacturers before reselling it, to a marketplace one, in which over 3000 businesses could utilise the Myntra platform to present their offerings to buyers. It collaborated with Bollywood stars such as Hrithik Roshan to promote unique products (HRX). Mast & Harbour are two of its own private label brands. To further build its Bollywood cred, it teamed with superstars such as Deepika Padukone (All About ...

  India's economy, which was once the world's fifth biggest, has been contracting for some time. The nation is still suffering from the consequences of the earlier this year's lockdowns, and as a result, GDP growth fell about 24% in the second quarter of this year compared to the same time last year. The Reserve Bank of India said a few days ago that India's GDP would most likely fall by 8.6% in the next quarter. Despite the bleak picture, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman is optimistic that the economy would recover. "India's economy is witnessing a solid revival," she remarked, citing more GST revenue and increasing energy consumption. She also presented Aatmanirbhar Bharat 3.0, a new stimulus package, yesterday to guarantee that the economy remains on track. To stimulate the economy, the package includes 12 additional initiatives totalling Rs 2.65 lakh crore. Cheap bank loans for beleaguered sectors, support for companies hiring new employees, tax bre...

According to a recent media source, hypermarket company DMart has signed a lease for a 67,404 sq ft retail property in Central Bengaluru. Why are we discussing it now? It might be a hint of a shift in approach for the retail behemoth. So, let's get started. The Snyopsis The Hypermarket Chain's Story DMart's goal is straightforward: offer low-cost goods and everyday products like soap to customers. Because if there's one thing that all Indians like, it's an MRP reduction! As a result, people rush to DMart to acquire their groceries. More shop traffic equals increased sales. As a result, the company's inventory is turned over more rapidly. It may then negotiate better pricing with its suppliers and pass the savings on to consumers. Its actual star is the "Everyday Low Prices" policy. Despite the fact that DMart offers other high-value items like as home appliances, tableware, and apparel, the food and grocery sector has regularly provided 50% of its sale...

The Synopsis When you type "is the informal economy legal" into Google, the first autocompleted result is "is the informal economy criminal." So, let's get things straight. The informal economy is not a criminal enterprise. Consider the market's fruit and vegetable shops, the hawkers selling your fried peanuts at traffic signals, and the construction workers building the home next door. Nothing they do is against the law. They're all part of the economy, struggling to make ends meet. They all contribute to the Gross Domestic Product (GDP). In reality, the International Labor Organization (ILO) estimates that the informal sector employs approximately 60% of the world's adult workforce. They don't have contracts, paid vacations, health insurance, or social security. However, there is another issue here – one that reveals itself at a macro level. How can the informal economy be effectively measured? Particularly when no one, including government age...

Narendra Damodardas  is an Indian politician serving as the 14th and current prime minister of India since 2014. Modi was the chief minister of Gujarat from 2001 to 2014 and is the Member of Parliament from Varanasi. He is a member of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) and its National Democratic Alliance (NDA). He is also a member of the Rashtriya Swayamsevak Sangh (RSS), a right-wing Hindu nationalist paramilitary volunteer organisation. He is the first prime minister to have been born after India's independence in 1947 and the second prime minister not belonging to the Indian National Congress to have won two consecutive elections, as well as a majority in both terms in the Indian lower house of parliament.

The Plot A few of young men had an idea back when Zomato was only a restaurant listing website. "Our query to them (Zomato's creators) was, 'Look, you guys are doing a terrific job of presenting things to consumers online.'" Obviously, the next step is to complete the order. Why hasn't somebody created a restaurant delivery network?" As a result, Delhivery was born. It became the "delivery guy" for eateries in 2011. However, the business quickly realised that there was an even greater possibility in India's expanding e-commerce market. At the time, e-commerce businesses like Flipkart and Snapdeal either fulfilled orders with their own small delivery teams or used the services of old-school courier companies that were better at delivering papers and shipping large shipments. They were old and sluggish, and they failed to meet the high expectations of the Indian customer. And these demands need a new type of concentration. To bring everything ...

The Synopsis Here's a question for you: If the housing market improves, will online home-listing businesses' stock prices rise as well? You are correct if you replied "yes." That's exactly what you'd anticipate in most cases, and it's exactly what occurred with Zillow, a prominent US real estate listing service. For the corporation, the epidemic was a gift in disguise. Americans were unable to leave their homes. They were bored at home, so they invented a new pastime: fantasising about their ideal dwellings. They naturally resorted to websites like Zillow to browse real estate listings and purchase the nicest residences they could find. With low mortgage rates, house sales in the United States are expected to reach new highs in 2020. Meanwhile, Zillow's stock almost quadrupled in 2020. But Zillow wasn't only there to help individuals sell their homes. It also improved people's perceptions of them. Investopedia says it this way: Zestimates, a po...

The Plot Demonetisation, which occurred five years ago, irreversibly altered the Indian payment environment. Indians had Rs 18 lakh crore in cash at the time. It had dropped to Rs 8 lakh crore by the end of January 2017, barely two months later. The repercussions were immediate and severe. And it seemed as though this was the start of the end for currency. They said that cash was extinct. What's more, guess what? That was not the case. Instead, the total amount of currency in circulation as of today is above Rs 28 lakh crore. Granted, this figure seems to be enormous. However, it may also be deceiving. The economy is no longer what it was in 2016. Across the board, we've added value. As the economy grows, you may anticipate additional money to enter the system to compensate for the rise. As a result, it's preferable to utilise a different metric: the Cash in circulation (CIC) to GDP ratio. This allows you to determine whether the monetary effect is as large as the number su...

  The Synopsis Reliance launched their new Android-based smartphone in conjunction with Google last week, in case you missed it. Reliance is seeking to put a smartphone in the hands of every Indian with their Rs 6,499 smartphone. But, you may wonder, why is Reliance entering into the smartphone sector. What's more, with Google as a partner? To comprehend this, we must go back in time. Reliance Jio had just blitzed the telecom industry with its very cheap (practically free) voice and internet pricing in 2016. It was a stumbling block. India jumped from using 200 million GB of data per month to over 1 billion GB in only six months! It's been dubbed the "Jio effect." Jio, on the other hand, has another card in its sleeve. Jio announced the JioPhone in the sub-Rs 2000 price bracket in 2017. It was a 4G-enabled feature phone with a slew of smart features including Facebook, YouTube, and JioTV access. In 2018, Reliance followed up with a somewhat more sophisticated feature ...
