The Asian Paints Price Hike Stroke

This paint business, which was once a stock market favourite, hasn't had a fantastic year. While the Sensex has increased by more than 50%, Asian Paints has only increased by 30%. The Synopsis Asian Paints, the world's largest paint manufacturer, has raised prices by just 3% a year for the past 20 years. That's correct, despite the fact that we've had to cope with out-of-control inflation everywhere, paint costs have never been an issue. The corporation, on the other hand, has finally rolled up its sleeves and is getting down to work. Asian Paints, the industry leader, is raising prices by 7–10 percent starting November 12th. Yes, it's advising everyone to spruce up their homes before Diwali. But, you may wonder, why the abrupt change of heart. Of sure, earnings are important. Sales increased by 32% year over year, from Rs 5,350 crores to almost Rs 7,000 crores, according to the company's latest figures (July-September). However, its net income dropped by 28%, f...

SEBI's New Guidelines : How will it help Investors?

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.

Instead, these organisations put their money towards things like client acquisition, brand promotion, expanding into new ...

Live Commerce : A brief Understanding (A Myntra's Gamble)

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 ...
