#COVID-19 Indian Share Market

[mariacallous]

Conspiracists and far-right extremists are blaming just about everything and everyone for Tuesday morning’s Baltimore bridge collapse.

A non-exhaustive list of things that are getting blamed for the bridge collapse on Telegram and X include President Biden, Hamas, ISIS, P. Diddy, Nickelodeon, India, former president Barack Obama, Islam, aliens, Sri Lanka, the World Economic Forum, the United Nations, Wokeness, Ukraine, foreign aid, the CIA, Jewish people, Israel, Russia, China, Iran, Covid vaccines, DEI, immigrants, Black people, and lockdowns.

The Francis Scott Key truss bridge collapsed when the MV Dali cargo ship collided with one of the bridge supports. Six construction workers, who were filling potholes on the bridge’s roadway at the time, are presumed dead. The ship is owned by Singapore-based Grace Ocean Private Ltd., and the 22-person crew were all Indian. The ship was en route to Colombo, Sri Lanka, at the time of the accident.

This did not stop people from “asking questions” about the incident, a frequent conspiracist response to major events. And though conspiracy theorists are having a hard time pinpointing exactly what conspiracy caused the collapse, the one thing they do agree on is that this incident is a “black swan event.”

The term black swan event has been around for decades and is used to describe a major global event (typically in the financial markets) that can cause significant damage to a country’s economy. But in recent years, the term has been co-opted by the conspiracy-minded to explain an event triggered by the so-called deep state that would signal an imminent revolution, a third world war, or some other apocalyptic catastrophe.

One of the first people to call the bridge collapse a black swan event was disgraced former US national security adviser Michael Flynn. “This is a BLACK SWAN event,” he wrote on X. “Black swans normally come out of the world of finance (not military) … There are harbor masters for every single one of these transit points in America that are in charge of assuring the safety of navigation … start there.” Flynn’s post has been viewed 7.2 million times.

Misogynist influencer Andrew Tate, who has been charged in Romania with rape and human trafficking, also posted on X early on Tuesday morning, writing: “Nothing is safe. Black Swan Event imminent.” The post has been viewed almost 19 million times.

The term black swan quickly began trending on X, and soon conspiracists, extremists, and right-wing lawmakers began coming up with explanations for what or who triggered this “black swan event.”

One post claiming a link between the bridge collapse and the film Leave the World Behind has been viewed more than 1.2 million times. The post claimed that because the ship was headed to Sri Lanka, which has a lion on its flag, then the situation was linked to the ship that runs aground at the beginning of the film which was called White Lion. The post also points out that the film was produced by Obama.

A post from Anthony Sabatini, a former Florida state congressman, declared, without evidence, that “DEI did this”—and its been viewed over 2.2 million times.

Some politicians have boosted the conspiracy as well. “Is this an intentional attack or an accident?” Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, an influential and conspiracy-minded member of the GOP, posted on X above a video shared by a prominent QAnon conspiracist.

Under previous iterations of X, formerly Twitter, such speculation would typically have gained little traction, as the algorithm would have prioritized trusted news sources and primary evidence. But under Elon Musk’s reign, anyone willing to pay for a blue check can have their posts artificially boosted by the algorithm. This means that conspiracies like this are ending up in the news feeds of millions of people.

On Telegram, one prominent election denier claimed the incident was linked to the fact that the bridge was named after Francis Scott Key, who wrote the words for the Star Spangled Banner, and was thus an attempt to undermine America.

“Don't let them erase our history,” the conspiracist wrote.

Investigators are looking into the cause of the tragic incident, but William DelBagno, the FBI special agent in charge, said on Tuesday that there are no indications of terrorism.

Reflecting on the case and the marketing strategies of Corona and Heineken reveals a tale of two varied approaches, each with its unique implications in the competitive landscape of the beer market.

As I read the case- I kept comparing the dynamic nature of advertising and selling beer in the US. Having grown up in India- the nature of ads from alcohol companies were very different. My reflection highlights some of the areas where regulatory frameworks lead to innovative marketing tactics such as surrogate advertising.

Finally- I could not help but wonder what the impact of the pandemic was on a brand like Corona (for obvious reasons). I remember listening to a podcast back in the day about the ultimate positive effect the pandemic had on beer consumption in the US, and my final point covers that.

Corona and Heineken's Divergent Paths Corona’s growth in the U.S. market, challenging Heineken's long-standing dominance, serves as an example of how brand imagery and lifestyle alignment can reshape market dynamics. While Heineken has promoted its brand as a premium quality, heritage, and sophisticated one, Corona adopted a different strategy. Its marketing campaigns evoked a sense of relaxation, escapism, and the simple pleasures of life, epitomized by the iconic image of a lime-wedged bottle on a sun-drenched beach.

The Indian Context: Surrogate Marketing Turning to the Indian market, where direct advertising of alcoholic beverages is prohibited, brands have resorted to surrogate marketing to make their presence felt in the consumers' minds. Companies promote products that share the brand name with the alcoholic beverage, such as music CDs, water, or even airlines, thereby maintaining brand recall.

For long, some of the funniest and most memorable ads, usually came from such brands. This strategy, while requiring creativity and indirect messaging, highlights the complex interplay between regulatory environments and marketing innovation, allowing brands to build a presence in a market with strict advertising restrictions. (Alcohol brand selling "Music CDs": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9zhozmQCDYg&pp=ygUdbWVuIHdpbGwgYmUgbWVuIGltcGVyaWFsIGJsdWU%3D)

Lately, many brands have launched zero-alcohol products, using these as surrogates to gain market popularity. Heineken was definitely the winner in the Indian market – from my recollection, I never saw a Corona ad.

Any publicity is good publicity? - True for Corona!

The COVID-19 pandemic presented unique challenges particularly for a brand like Corona, given the unfortunate name association. Despite initial setbacks and market confusion (with rumors rife with association to the virus), Corona's marketing strategy demonstrated resilience and adaptability. Research suggested that the brand's visibility and consumer loyalty contributed to this growth, with each new COVID-19 case seemingly boosting Corona's sales by $5.30 weekly compared to other major beer brands. The article mentioned that Corona beer gained "accidental popularity" due to its name's association with the coronavirus, driving increased attention and sales during the pandemic​.

We are quite excited to host chef, restauranteur, 
author, and activist, Meeru Dhalwala, who will share her compelling story of creativity through the lens of June’s global theme ‘reverie’.

Register

Meeru moved from Washington, D.C. to Vancouver in February 1995 and has since been cooking and running the kitchens and menus at Vij’s and Rangoli restaurants. Vij’s has been hailed by the New York Times as “easily among the finest Indian restaurants in the world.” (Rangoli closed after 17 years in May 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic). Meeru also wrote all three award-winning Vij’s cookbooks.

In 2021, Meeru created a small community business built from her learned ethics in the food industry: My Bambiri (baby) Foods. My Bambiri sources from BC organic farmers and sells on income-based pricing: three price options based on a family’s specific finances. She has also partnered with Food Stash Foundation to sell My Bambiri at their markets for low-income families who face many economic and social barriers. In October 2022, Meeru relaunched her annual international food fair called “Joy of Feeding” that is held at the UBC Farm Centre for Sustainable Food Systems.

Meeru holds a MSc in development studies from Bath University, UK, and brings her passion for humanity into her business and cooking practices. She is one of Vancouver’s most prominent promoters of women in business, climate change and sustainability, and healthy-elegant cooking. She proudly sits on the Board of Directors for the Green Party of Vancouver. For her professional and community work, Meeru has received honorary doctorates from both University of British Columbia and Simon Fraser University.

Every month we like to ask our speakers a handful of probing questions to give us a deeper glimpse into their life and relationship with creativity:

How do you define creativity and apply it in your life and career? I imagine and then come up with ideas. Lots of ideas, of which most aren’t realistic, but contribute to the final ideas that I/we can execute. I love the process of ideas popping or slowly coming to form in my head. I love the crazy ideas that are impractical and the ideas that could make stories if I were a novelist. I say the word “IDEA!” in the Vij’s kitchen and staff stops whatever we’re doing, get excited and hear the “IDEA!” Half of them result in all of us just laughing b/c while even saying it, I realize it’s not practical or just sounds silly coming out. My kitchen staff doesn’t rely on me to run the daily kitchen—cooking, ordering, loading, prep, etc.—but they rely on me for my “IDEA!” And if I love my idea, I don’t let it go.

Where do you find your best creative inspiration or energy? From running in my neighborhood—not any neighborhood or trail. Running is combination of my familiar surroundings and my body igniting me—my brain is dancing while my body is doing all the physical work. Whatever is on my mind—whether my family, trying to save some aspect of the environment, imagining being dead, imagining my comfort place on this earth, a work issue, coming up with recipes, etc.—it’s done with abandon while I’m running. Within 10 minutes, I lose myself in imagining, pondering…and daydreaming about my past in relation to today.

What’s one piece of creative advice or a tip you wish you’d known as a young person? Find a solo activity during which you feel abandon and…yes, lose yourself in reverie! I run. All those times when I was crying or stressed about my home life or school life, if I had gone out running and released that stress energy, the weight would have lightened and so many windows would have opened. Doesn’t have to be a physical activity—it can be knitting or drawing.

Who (living or dead) would you most enjoy hearing speak at CreativeMornings? George Eliot or Graca Machel. Intellectually attuned and gracefully passionate, brave women. Middlemarch is still relevant as a compelling storyline and observation on humanity’s social concoctions. Women and children’s rights activist Graca Machel was the First Lady of Mozambique at an important and crucial time. Her husband (the President) was assassinated via a plane crash. Later, she became the First Lady of South Africa, as wife of Nelson Mandela.

What’s the craziest thing you’ve ever done? Fly to Vancouver from Washington D.C. to meet a guy I was talking on the phone with for a month (back in 1994) and, after spending 5 days with him, deciding to marry him asap. I left my hometown, friends and career in human rights and economic development to move to Vancouver. It resulted in a new and completed unexpected career, two beautiful children and 17 years of marriage. I don’t know how, but I grabbed the confidence in love before it escaped in the form of common sense.

If you could open a door and go anywhere, where would that be? My partner is a dry suit (meaning he dives in cold waters) scuba diver and travels to all waters of the world to dive, take photos. His “comfort place” in this world is the silence and being solo under water—complete opposite from mine. He lies there with his camera, watches and waits for creatures to swim, fully in zen mode. This level of silence and alone-ness intimidates and fascinates me. I would LOVE to turn myself into an invisible and weightless being, and be on his shoulder while he does this. I would not want to disturb his zen. For me, this would be like magically living in a dream.

What are you proudest of in your life? Giving motherhood my all, by which I don’t mean just love. The most important moment of my life so far is when I first looked down at my newborn and felt/saw the look in her wide eyes, settling on her mom’s face. I call this “Newborn Eyes”. Newborn Eyes are the energy of my personal life. I’m proud of fully and honestly engaging with my two daughters as humans and not as my extensions. I’m proud of calling them out on their shit and not worrying if they like me or not, or if they’ll rebel. I’m proud that I never stopped being me for the sake of being a mother.

If you could do anything now, what would you do? Have each human above the age of, say 6, in this world watch the animated documentary film “Flee” for its subject matter and b/c its engrossing storytelling. I want all of us watching at the exact same time so we are aware of sharing this experience together, as one. So, a bit of magic or super sci-fi high tech required here. Some of the bravest and most loving people in this world are “refugees” and “migrants”. These are labels for some, but for me they are my mom and dad.

What books made a difference in your life and why? The Employees by Olga Ravn. This book is potentially our real future with real humans co-existing with AI types of humans. It’s beautifully written. It’s a very short book and I read it twice in a row.

Cyclopentane Market Size, Share, Trends & Forecast

According to a new report by Univdatos Market Insights, the Global Cyclopentane Market is expected to reach USD 695.35 million in 2032, growing at a CAGR of 6.91%. The market is experiencing significant growth driven by increasing insulation, refrigeration, and electrical demand, coupled with stringent environmental regulations promoting eco-friendly blowing agents.

Market Dynamics

The cyclopentane market continues to grow due to several factors. Firstly, the global push for energy efficiency, particularly in household appliances, has led to increased demand for cyclopentane as a blowing agent in polyurethane foam insulation. For instance, in May 2024, Whirlpool Corporation reported a 12% increase in sales of its energy-efficient refrigerator line using cyclopentane-based insulation.

Moreover, the phase-out of hydrochlorofluorocarbons (HCFCs) and hydrofluorocarbons (HFCs) under the Montreal Protocol and subsequent amendments has accelerated the adoption of cyclopentane as an environmentally friendly alternative. In February 2024, the European Union implemented stricter regulations on fluorinated greenhouse gases, further boosting cyclopentane demand in the region.

The construction industry's recovery post-COVID-19 pandemic has also contributed to increased cyclopentane usage in insulation materials. For instance, in 2024, according to the report published by the United States Census Bureau, the construction spending during May 2024 was estimated at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of USD 2,139.8 billion, 0.1 percent (±1.0 percent) below the revised April estimate of USD 2,142.1 billion. The May figure is 6.4 percent (±1.6 percent) above the May 2023 estimate of USD 2,011.8 billion. During the first five months of this year, construction spending amounted to USD 836.3 billion, 8.8 percent (±1.2 percent) above the USD 768.6 billion for the same period in 2023.

Additionally, technological advancements in cyclopentane production have improved efficiency and reduced costs. In August 2023, BASF SE announced a new catalytic process for cyclopentane production, which reduced energy consumption by 30% and decreased carbon emissions by 25% compared to conventional methods.

Sector Specific Growth  

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning: The refrigeration and air conditioning sector remains the largest consumer of cyclopentane, driven by stringent energy efficiency standards and the shift towards eco-friendly refrigerants. For instance, in June 2024, according to Daikin, the company is focused on increasing its localization level, leveraging the PLI scheme for the air conditioning sector. The company plans to enhance local manufacturing of PCB circuits to achieve this goal. The company expects to manufacture 2 million units in India this fiscal year and has plans to scout for more export opportunities by making India a manufacturing hub. The company has sold seven lakh residential air conditioners (RAC) units in the first three months of the year, helped by a blistering summer this season, and expects over 50 percent growth. Therefore, this will increase the demand for cyclopentane-based insulation materials in the coming years.

Construction and Insulation: The construction and insulation segment has been a significant driver of cyclopentane demand, particularly in developing economies. The growing emphasis on green building practices has further boosted cyclopentane adoption. In January 2024, the Indian Green Building Council reported a 20% increase in green building certifications, with many projects utilizing cyclopentane-based insulation materials.

Electrical and Electronics: The electrical and electronics industry is emerging as a promising growth area for cyclopentane, particularly in producing circuit breakers and switchgear. In February 2024, Huntsman Building Solutions (HBS), the global leader in high-performance, energy-efficient, and resilient building envelope solutions, announced the launch of its all-new Icynene Series spray polyurethane foam insulation product line. The collection of spray foam systems offers the highest performance available in the industry today and includes key product certifications.

Sustainability Drives Innovation in Cyclopentane Production and Application

The market is witnessing rapid technological developments and significant efforts from industry leaders in researching sustainable production methods. In October 2023, a consortium of European chemical companies unveiled a breakthrough in bio-based cyclopentane production, utilizing renewable feedstocks derived from agricultural waste. This innovation is expected to reduce the carbon footprint of cyclopentane production by up to 70% compared to conventional methods. The trend towards circular economic practices is also influencing the cyclopentane market. In September 2023, a major European appliance manufacturer launched a pilot program for recovering and purifying cyclopentane from end-of-life refrigerators, aiming to reduce virgin material consumption and minimize waste.

Conclusion:

With increasing environmental concerns, stringent regulations, and the growing demand for energy-efficient products, the cyclopentane market is poised for substantial growth in the coming years. The industry's focus on sustainable production methods, innovative applications, and circular economy practices is expected to drive further expansion and geographic diversification of the market.

As the global economy continues to prioritize sustainability and energy efficiency, cyclopentane is likely to remain a critical component in various industries, particularly in insulation, refrigeration, and electrical applications. The future of the industry will largely depend on its ability to adapt to evolving regulatory landscapes, consumer preferences, and technological advancements in green chemistry and manufacturing processes.

India’s Role in the SAARC Tech Initiative

India’s leadership in the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) Tech Initiative has played a leading and an important role in driving technological advancement and regional development. By leveraging its growing technological capabilities, India has fostered collaboration among SAARC member states, paving the way for collective progress. This initiative emphasizes digital infrastructure development, cross-border technology exchange, and innovation in sectors like e-governance, telecommunications, and education, ultimately benefiting millions of people across South Asia. India's efforts have not only addressed shared challenges like digital inequality and infrastructure deficits but also strengthened regional ties.

A prime example of India’s influence can be seen in the realm of digital infrastructure. India’s Digital India program has set a regional benchmark for digital transformation, inspiring neighboring countries to enhance their technological landscapes. Collaborative projects like cross-border fiber optic connectivity between India and Bhutan (as discussed in the previous blog) have dramatically improved internet access in the latter, enabling significant advancements in e-governance, online education, and trade relations. India’s role in providing both technical expertise and financial backing highlights its commitment to boosting the digital economy throughout the region.

India’s success in e-governance has also left a lasting impact on SAARC member nations. By promoting the digitization of public services, India has set an example that countries like Bangladesh and the Maldives have begun to follow. Bangladesh’s national ID system, inspired by India’s Aadhar program, has streamlined government services and reduced fraud in welfare distribution. Such initiatives demonstrate India’s capacity to export its technological advancements to neighboring nations, ultimately improving governance and public service delivery.

The SAARC Tech Initiative’s focus on education and innovation has further showcased India’s leadership in fostering regional growth. India's advancements in educational technology (EdTech) have provided scalable models for other SAARC countries to follow, particularly at the time of the COVID-19 pandemic. Indian platforms such as BYJU's and Coursera India have expanded their reach to neighboring countries, offering courses and resources to students in Sri Lanka and Nepal. Additionally, cross-border teacher training programs facilitated by India have helped improve digital education methodologies, making quality education more accessible in remote areas.

In the telecommunications sector, India’s contribution has been especially notable. Indian telecom giants like Jio and Airtel have expanded their services to Nepal and Sri Lanka, bringing affordable mobile connectivity to previously underserved areas. This improved access to telecommunications has had a profound impact on these economies, particularly in rural regions, where internet access was once limited.

NSE Share Price Riding High on the Terrain

NSE has long formed the backbone of India's financial markets, smoothly executing trades of millions of investors. The NSE has created a strong foothold for itself in the leadership mantle in the stock exchange business, offering innovative solutions to increase participation in the market and build growing investor confidence. The NSE Share Price has also risen incrementally in recent times, showing strength and resilience in the exchange.

In this article, we go in-depth to explore why this is an upward movement by highlighting some of the key drivers influencing growth in market value at NSE.

Brief Overview of NSE

The National Stock Exchange of India was set up in 1992 with the aim of introducing an electronic, totally automated trading environment into the Indian financial system. The NSE, headquartered in Mumbai, has grown to become the largest stock exchange in the country, providing investors with a robust avenue for trading financial instruments efficiently and transparently.

The exchange thus represents a broad range of financial products for investors-from equities and derivatives to debt and currency. Such diversity in offering securities makes the exchange a more versatile playground for investors. The innovative approach followed by the exchange, along with its strong regulatory mechanism, made it possible for the NSE to remain one of the major players in the world financial scenario.

Reasons for Rise in NSE Share Price

The recent uptick in the share price of NSE can be attributed to factors ranging from strong market fundamentals through technological advancement and finally to regulatory support. Let's look at the major propellers:

Growth in Market Participation

The increased level of market participation, especially the retail and institutional investors, is one of the main reasons for this increase in the price of shares in the NSE. With greater economic prosperity and increased awareness of financial investments, more and more people and groups are joining the bourses of stock markets.

These increased trading activities boosted volumes for the NSE, thus adding to its revenues. This uptick in use has been catalyzed by the great rush of retail investors to the markets, in large part during the COVID-19 pandemic, when the investment in stocks became a major avenue of pursuit for financial returns.

Technological Advancements

NSE has always embraced technology advancement and has been in the forefront in the provision of convenient and efficient trading experiences. The investment of this exchange in state-of-the-art infrastructure for trading, algorithmic trading platforms, and systems for high-frequency trading has improved the process of trading.

With these improvements, a larger pool of sophisticated investors has been drawn to the market, thus pushing up the prices of NSE shares. Moreover, since the exchange has put in place security and risk management measures, investors have a guarantee that their endeavors are safe and therefore more confidence in the market is developed.

Good Financial Performance

NSE’s robust financial performance has also played a crucial role in its rising share price. The exchange generates revenue from transaction fees, listing services, and data services, all of which have shown consistent growth.

These have been supported by the increase in trading volumes and investor participation, hence giving the exchange financial muscle. This positive financial outlook has consequently provided the NSE with a good foundation for future growth and an attractive investment opportunity both for institutional and retail investors.

Regulatory Reforms and Investor Confidence

The transparency and greater safety of the trading environments, facilitated by the regulatory reforms of the SEBI kind, have made a big difference to investor confidence and have invited more participants into the stock market.

These regulations have helped the NSE a lot, as the transparent and secure trading platforms drew investors. The increase in investors' confidence about the Indian stock market has been another factor that has contributed to the uptrend in the share price of the NSE.

Role of NSE in India's Economic Growth

As it were, the NSE does not act only as a venue for companies to raise capital and investors to grow their money; rather, its major role is to contribute to the economic growth of India. Its varied range of financial products enables enterprises to tap into capital resources from a wide investor base, while offering a wide array of avenues for individuals to diversify their investments.

This means that the NSE therefore facilitates this flow of capital, which goes a long way in job creation, brings innovation, and gives financial inclusion to the people across the length and breadth of the country. This stock exchange keeps growing in its offerings, a factor that will keep on entrenching its usefulness in the fostering of economic growth. Its share price is thus very likely to keep on moving upwards in this journey of success.

The Future of NSE Share Price: What Lies Ahead

Going ahead, some recent developments are likely to impact the NSE share price further. The following are some of the developments that were in the pipeline:

NSE IPO and NSE Pre IPO Interest

The much-anticipated NSE IPO has been creating noise in the market, and the investors just are not letting go of this opportunity to subscribe to what would be the largest public offering in the history of India. NSE Upcoming IPO was already viewed with great interest, as institutional investors along with retail investors carefully watched for announcements.

This is also reflected in the increasing interest in NSE Pre IPO shares, as such confidence in the exchange's future does increase further before the IPO date. In anticipation, this share price is therefore likely to rise.

NSE Unlisted Shares Gaining Momentum

Accordingly, investors who seek to get in on the action early have actively sought NSE Unlisted Shares as a way of getting exposure to the exchange before its public offering. A unique opportunity that the shares avail to investors capitalizes on the future growth of the NSE at a time when it is not yet publicly offered.

As demand for unlisted shares has been on the increase, this might further push the valuation of the exchange and eventually its IPO share price.

Sustained Technological and Regulatory Development

Continuous technological innovations coupled with strict regulatory compliance have been the key to success for NSE and will remain so in the future. Once newer technologies such as Artificial Intelligence, Blockchain, and Machine Learning start to get adopted at the exchange, it would further set investor confidence on a strong footing of efficiency and security.

Further, SEBI's efforts at bringing more transparency in the market and protecting investor interest will continue to attract participation and ensure sustained growth in the share price of NSE.

Conclusion

The National Stock Exchange of India, therefore, is now a powerhouse in the financial markets, and the prices that keep on growing reflect their unabated success. Greater participation in markets, technological advancement, and regulatory support have bright prospects for the NSE's share price, which might just keep on riding high.

While the market expects NSE's IPO and watches for further developments in bringing out unlisted shares to the market, the exchange itself remains an attractive investment destination, with enormous growth inherent in its fundamentals. Investors are set to gain big-time from this market leader, either through NSE Unlisted Shares or through the upcoming NSE IPO.

How Quick Commerce is Shaping the Future of Retail and Last-Mile Delivery in India

In India, quick commerce is revolutionizing the retail and last-mile delivery sectors with unprecedented speed and efficiency. As the demand for rapid delivery escalates, this emerging trend has seen explosive growth, reshaping consumer expectations and market dynamics.

In 2023, the gross merchandise value (GMV) of quick commerce in India reached an impressive US$2.3 billion, marking a staggering 70% increase from the previous year.

This surge underscores the burgeoning appetite for instant delivery services and highlights the sector's potential, with projections indicating a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 27.9% from FY22 to FY27.

The COVID-19 pandemic catalyzed this transformation, accelerating a shift from traditional retail to quick commerce platforms that promise deliveries within 10-20 minutes.

Companies such as Zomato-owned Blinkit, Swiggy Instamart, Dunzo Daily, and the fast-emerging Zepto have become central players, driving this growth by meeting the evolving demands of urban consumers.

Leveraging advanced technologies like predictive analytics, real-time inventory management, and automation, these platforms are not only enhancing operational efficiency but also setting new benchmarks for speed and convenience in retail.

As quick commerce continues to expand beyond major cities into smaller towns, the sector's impact on the e-commerce landscape is becoming increasingly significant.

With an anticipated market value of US$5.5 billion by 2025, the sector is projected to capture a substantial share of the online grocery market, rising from 10% to approximately 45%.

This rapid evolution reflects a broader shift towards hyper-localized and technology-driven retail solutions, positioning quick commerce as a pivotal force in the future of Indian retail and last-mile delivery.

Quick Commerce and Last-Mile Delivery: The Future of Retail in India

Revolutionizing Retail with Quick Commerce

Quick commerce, often referred to as Q-commerce, is at the forefront of the retail revolution in India. By focusing on speed and convenience, it has disrupted the traditional retail sector, which primarily relied on physical stores and slower delivery models. The advent of quick commerce has created a new expectation among consumers for instant gratification, where they can order groceries, medicines, and even electronics with the assurance of receiving them within minutes.

The COVID-19 pandemic significantly hastened this transition. As lockdowns and social distancing measures restricted in-store shopping, consumers increasingly turned to online platforms for their daily needs. Quick commerce platforms, with their promise of fast delivery, became the go-to solution for urban consumers who needed essentials delivered quickly. This shift in consumer behavior led to a significant surge in demand for quick commerce services, propelling the sector to new heights.

Transforming the Indian Jewellery Industry: Technology and Tradition

Over the past couple of years, the Indian jewellery sector has witnessed the integration of technology innovations into its operations. Various brands have been leveraging technologies such as augmented reality (AR), artificial intelligence (AI), live video assistance, computer-aided design (CAD), and computer-aided manufacturing (CAM) to transform the online jewellery segment. However, despite these advancements, the offline jewellery segment continues to outpace its online counterpart in terms of sales. This raises the question of what factors contribute to the offline segment’s success and what drives customers to physical jewellery stores.

The inability of online platforms to replicate the “feel” of trying on jewellery pieces remains a significant challenge. While brands have been able to address logistical concerns, technologies like AR and VR have yet to provide an immersive and realistic experience for customers. The offline stores offer a unique advantage in this regard, as customers can physically try on jewellery, which significantly influences their purchasing decisions. As a result, big-ticket purchases continue to take place predominantly in offline stores.

Although the offline segment maintains its dominance, the online jewellery space has been growing steadily, especially since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. The pandemic accelerated the adoption of online shopping and digital platforms, prompting jewellery brands to strategize and invest more in their online presence. Online platforms have made significant progress in improving the customer experience by reducing delivery times and providing faster access to desired products. As a result, online jewellery shopping has become more convenient and accessible.

However, one cannot completely ignore trust in the jewellery-buying process. Regardless of whether the purchase is made online or offline, customers ultimately need to see the jewellery piece before making a final decision. Hence, an omnichannel experience, which seamlessly integrates online and offline channels, is essential for brands to gain customer trust and offer in-home experiences. He believes that a change in mindset is necessary for the industry, and the share of online and modern retail will continue to grow over time.

Various jewellery brands, including Tanishq, Bluestone, Malabar, Kalyan Jewellers, and Tata CLiQ, have been actively exploring and implementing new technologies to enhance the online jewellery shopping experience. Additionally, new players like the Aditya Birla Group are entering the branded jewellery retail business, investing in in-house brands and large-format exclusive retail stores across India. These new entrants are aiming to redefine the rules of the game, catering to the preferences of working women who seek lighter, modern, and fashionable jewellery pieces that complement their everyday outfits.

New brands entering the market need to differentiate themselves through product experiences and storytelling that aligns with the desires of their target customers. Leveraging technology, such as virtual try-ons through mobile apps, can enhance the direct-to-consumer (D2C) element, particularly for brands targeting young women seeking modern styles.

Recent trends indicate a growing demand for lightweight and studded jewellery, with bridal jewellery accounting for a significant portion of the market share. Practicality and compatibility with modern lifestyles drive the preference for lightweight jewellery among women. While technology innovations present certain challenges, they also offer convenience and choice to consumers. The online segment, though still smaller than the offline segment, is gaining interest among digitally savvy millennials. The integration of technology into the jewellery industry presents an opportunity for marketing and advertising agencies to support brands in crafting compelling narratives, building trust, and creating immersive experiences across online and offline channels to drive growth in the evolving market.

Biofertilizers Market - Forecast(2024 - 2030)

Biofertilizers Market Overview:

Biofertilizers Market size is estimated to reach US$5.7 billion by 2030, growing at a CAGR of 10.8% during the forecast period 2024-2030. Increasing adoption of organic farming and growing crop production are expected to propel the growth of biofertilizers market.

Additionally, Rise of precision farming technology, advancements in sensor technology, data analytics, and artificial intelligence are allowing farmers to optimize the application of biofertilizers based on real-time data, ensuring efficient nutrient utilization and improved crop yields. Manufacturers are increasingly focusing on developing tailored biofertilizer solutions for specific crops and agro-ecological conditions. Customized formulations address the unique nutrient requirements of different crops, enhancing the effectiveness of biofertilizers. This reflects a shift towards precision agriculture and a more targeted approach to sustainable farming practices, catering to the diverse needs of modern agriculture.

𝐃𝐨𝐰𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐚𝐝 𝐒𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐥𝐞

COVID-19 / Ukraine Crisis - Impact Analysis:

● The COVID-19 pandemic, had a notable impact on the biofertilizers market. As lockdowns and restrictions disrupted supply chains and agricultural activities globally, the production and distribution of biofertilizers faced challenges. The uncertainty and economic downturn during the pandemic led to a temporary slowdown in the adoption of biofertilizers as farmers prioritized essential inputs. However, the crisis also heightened awareness of sustainable agricultural practices, prompting increased interest in biofertilizers as a resilient and eco-friendly alternative.

● The geopolitical events and uncertainties in Ukraine also influenced the biofertilizers market. The ongoing situation created disruptions in trade and logistics, affecting the availability and distribution of biofertilizers. Farmers faced challenges in accessing inputs, impacting their ability to incorporate biofertilizers into their agricultural practices. Despite these challenges, there was a growing recognition of the importance of resilient and sustainable agricultural systems, potentially positioning biofertilizers for increased adoption as the situation stabilized. 

Key Takeaways:

● North America Dominated the Market

Geographically, in the Biofertilizers market share, the North America region is analyzed to hold a dominant market share of 32% in 2023, due to increasing health concerns with organic food crops in American countries such as the United States, Mexico, and Canada. A favorable regulatory scenario, especially in North America and Europe is expected to be a key driving factor for demand growth over the next few years. Europe followed to be second largest market. The Honorable Lawrence MacAulay, Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, announced that the Government of Canada will become a founding member of the Efficient Fertilizer Consortium (EFC). As a result, the market for biofertilizers, which are considered more sustainable than traditional fertilizers, may experience growth as these collaborative efforts expand and reach European markets.

● Soil treatment is the fastest growing segment

In the Biofertilizers Market forecast, Soil treatment segment is estimated to grow with a CAGR of 11.9% during the forecast period, owing to complex applications of biological, physical, and chemical agents on seeds for effective protection and production improvement, which can be achieved efficiently by biofertilizers securing them from soil-borne diseases. Moreover, supportive government regulations, such as the Indian Integrated Plant Nutrition Management Bill initialized in 2022, are also discouraging the use of chemical fertilizers, shifting consumer focus towards eco-friendly and organic seed treatment methods. The emphasis on organic and environmentally friendly farming practices has propelled the demand for biofertilizers in soil treatment, as they offer an eco-conscious alternative to conventional chemical fertilizers.

● Rhizobium to Hold Largest Market Share

According to the Biofertilizers Market analysis, the Rhizobium is estimated to hold the largest market share of 25% in 2023, The greatest example of symbiotic nitrogen fixation is Rhizobium, which belongs to the Rhizobiaceae bacterial family. It can fix N2 in plants, both legumes and non-legume plants. Rhizobium has been found to be fixed at 300 kg N ha-1 year-1 in a number of different legume crops.  The terms Rhizobium, Brady rhizobium, Sino rhizobium, Azorhizobium, and Mesorhizobium are all collectively referred to as rhizobia. Rhizobia are a group of nitrogen-fixing bacteria that form symbiotic relationships with the roots of leguminous plants. Rhizobium enhances the growth and productivity of leguminous crops by ensuring a more efficient uptake of nitrogen. This, in turn, leads to improved crop yields. As farmers seek methods to optimize production while minimizing environmental impact, the demand for biofertilizers containing Rhizobium is on the rise.

● Increasing Adoption of Organic Farming

As we know Biofertilizers are natural fertilizers that are microbial inoculants of bacteria, algae and fungi. Use of biofertilizer is recommended for improving the soil fertility in organic farming. They accelerate certain microbial processes in the soil which augment the extent of availability of nutrients in a form easily assimilated by plants. They help restore the soil’s natural nutrient cycle and increase soil organic matter. Biofertilizers are carrier-based microorganisms that increase productivity through biological nitrogen fixation, the solubilization of insoluble phosphate, or by generating hormones, vitamins, and other growth -promoting compounds essential for plant growth. The Indian government recently proposed a budget for 2022 that promotes chemical-free natural farming, beginning with farming lands along the Ganga.

● Growing Crop Production is Increasing Consumption of Biofertilizers

As global agricultural output strives to meet the demands of a growing population, farmers are increasingly turning to biofertilizers as a key driver for enhancing crop productivity. Biofertilizers contribute to sustainable agriculture by improving soil health, nutrient availability, and overall crop performance. The world population will reach 9 billion by 2050 in accordance with Food and Agricultural Organization; as a result, there should be an enhancement in crop yield to meet the food demand. In January 2023, Odisha University of Agriculture and Technology announced that it had started the production of biofertilizers to make them available for farmers in the state at the lowest cost. The university has received funding of 1.5 crores from the central government’s Rashtriy Kisan Vikas Yojana (RKVY), the scheme by the Indian government focuses on developing biofertilizer firms/plants and boosting the production of biofertilizers.

● Low Shelf Life of Biofertilizers

Unlike conventional chemical fertilizers that often have a longer shelf life, biofertilizers, which contain living microorganisms, can be more susceptible to degradation and loss of efficacy over time. The viability of the beneficial microbes in biofertilizers is contingent upon various factors, including temperature, humidity, and storage conditions. The delicate nature of these living organisms makes them prone to deterioration, limiting the duration for which biofertilizers remain effective. The need for cold storage facilities and controlled transportation conditions adds to the operational costs, making biofertilizers a less convenient option for s

Influencer Marketing Platform Procurement Intelligence: Trends and Outlook

The influencer marketing platform category is anticipated to witness growth at a CAGR of 31.9% from 2023 to 2030. In 2022, North America accounted for 30% of the market share followed by Europe and Asia-Pacific. Europe witnesses the fastest growth rate owing to wider adoption of branding practices and concentrating on expanding their market penetration and gaining a sizable consumer base through micro & nano-influencers.

In 2022, the fashion and lifestyle segment held substantial industry share in terms of end-usage owing to the growing number of high-end lifestyle and fashion brands trying to be more approachable to consumers. Influencers are used by a number of fashion brands to promote new apparel and accessories, keeping the public up to date on the newest trends. The potential of influencer marketing to build brand awareness in the fashion sector is one of its greatest benefits. Due to the proliferation of social media, it is difficult for companies to differentiate themselves from the competition because consumers are continually exposed to marketing from multiple brands. However, influencers have the ability to break through the clutter and connect with a niche audience.

Technologies such as virtual influencers, artifical intelligence, and data analytics are expected to strengthen influencer marketing platforms. In order to target the ideal customers, a virtual influencer gives more creative freedom and cost-effective customization. Several brands and businesses are having trouble evaluating the platform's outcomes even after it has been widely adopted. As a result, rising smartphone adoption, increased use of high-speed internet, rising numbers of social media accounts, falling data streaming costs, and the incorporation of cutting-edge technologies like artificial intelligence (AI) are all contributing to the growing demand for video content and live interactive sessions.

As a result, the outbreak of pandemic supported the global category in several ways such as increased number of live streams, bringing platforms like TikTok and Instagram Reels into popular culture, fueling emergence of micro influencers, creation of authentic content in an unusual timeframe, discovering other paths to purchase, redistribution of media & advertising budgets, and higher consumption of content.

Alok Kumar Agarwal of Alankit: Why Mutual Funds Are Ideal for New Equity Investors

According to a recent report by the Association of Mutual Funds in India, the Average Assets Under Management (AAUM) of the Indian Mutual Fund Industry reached ₹40,04,638 crores in March 2023. This highlights the growing popularity of equity investments, especially after the Covid-19 pandemic.
