Keir Starmer appoints Jeff Bezos as his “first buddy”

Picks and Shovels is a new, standalone technothriller starring Marty Hench, my two-fisted, hard-fighting, tech-scam-busting forensic accountant. You can pre-order it on my latest Kickstarter, which features a brilliant audiobook read by Wil Wheaton.

Turns out Donald Trump isn't the only world leader with a tech billionaire "first buddy" who gets to serve as an unaccountable, self-interested de facto business regulator. UK PM Keir Starmer has just handed the keys to the British economy over to Jeff Bezos.

Oh, not literally. But here's what's happened: the UK's Competitions and Markets Authority, an organisation charged with investigating and punishing tech monopolists (like Amazon) has just been turned over to Doug Gurr, the guy who used to run Amazon UK.

This is – incredibly – even worse than it sounds. Marcus Bokkerink, the outgoing head of the CMA, was amazing, and he had charge over the CMA's Digital Markets Unit, the largest, best-staffed technical body of any competition regulator, anywhere in the world. The DMU uses its investigatory powers to dig deep into complex monopolistic businesses like Amazon, and just last year, the DMU was given new enforcement powers that would let it custom-craft regulations to address tech monopolization (again, like Amazon's).

But it's even worse. The CMA and DMU are the headwaters of a global system of super-effective Big Tech regulation. The CMA's deeply investigated reports on tech monopolists are used as the basis for EU regulations and enforcement actions, and these actions are then re-run by other world governments, like South Korea and Japan:

https://pluralistic.net/2024/04/10/an-injury-to-one/#is-an-injury-to-all

The CMA is the global convener and ringleader in tech antitrust, in other words. Smaller and/or poorer countries that lack the resources to investigate and build a case against US Big Tech companies have been able to copy-paste the work of the CMA and hold these companies to account. The CMA invites (or used to invite) all of these competition regulators to its HQ in Canary Wharf for conferences where they plan global strategy against these monopolists:

https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/cma-data-technology-and-analytics-conference-2022-registration-308678625077

Firing the guy who is making all this happening and replacing him with Amazon's UK boss is a breathtaking display of regulatory capture by Starmer, his business secretary Jonathan Reynolds, and his exchequer, Rachel Reeves.

But it gets even worse, because Amazon isn't just any tech monopolist. Amazon is a many-tentacled kraken built around an e-commerce empire. Antitrust regulators elsewhere have laid bare how Amazon uses that retail monopoly to take control over whole economies, while raising prices and crushing small businesses.

To understand Amazon's market power, first you have to understand "monopsonies" – markets dominated by buyers (monopolies are markets dominated by sellers – Amazon is both a monopolist and a monopsonist). Monopsonies are far more dangerous than monopolies, because they are easier to establish and easier to defend against competitors. Say a single retailer accounts for 30% of your sales: there isn't a business in the world that can survive an overnight 30% drop in sales, so that 30% market share might as well be 100%. Once your order is big enough that canceling it would bankrupt your supplier, you have near-total control over that supplier.

Amazon boasts about this. They call it "the flywheel": Amazon locks in shoppers (by getting them to prepay for a year's worth of shipping in advance, via Prime). The fact that a business can't sell to a large proportion of households if it's not on Amazon gives Amazon near-total power over that business. Amazon uses that power to demand discounts and charge junk fees to the businesses that rely on it. This allows it to lower prices, which brings in more customers, which means that even more businesses have to do business with Amazon to stay afloat:

https://vimeo.com/739486256/00a0a7379a

That's Amazon's version, anyway. In reality, it's a lot scuzzier. Amazon doesn't just demand deep discounts from its suppliers – it demand unsustainable discounts from them. For example, Amazon targeted small publishers with a program called the "Gazelle Project." Jeff Bezos told his negotiators to bring down these publishers "the way a cheetah would pursue a sickly gazelle":

https://archive.nytimes.com/bits.blogs.nytimes.com/2013/10/22/a-new-book-portrays-amazon-as-bully/

The idea was to get a bunch of cheap books for the Kindle to help it achieve critical mass, at the expense of driving these publishers out of business. They were a kind of disposable rocket stage for Amazon.

Deep discounts aren't the only way that Amazon feeds off its suppliers: it also lards junk-fee atop junk-fee. For every pound Amazon makes from its customers, it rakes in 45-51p in fees:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/29/aethelred-the-unready/#not-one-penny-for-tribute

Now, just like there's no business that can survive losing 30% of its sales overnight, there's also no business that can afford to hand 45-51% of its gross margin to a retailer. For businesses to survive at all on Amazon, they have to jack their prices up – way up. However, Amazon has an anticompetitive deal called "most favoured nation status" that forces suppliers to sell their goods on Amazon at the same price as they sell them elsewhere (even from their own stores). So when companies raise their prices in order to pay ransom to Amazon, they have to raise their prices everywhere. Far from being a force for low prices, Amazon makes prices go up everywhere, from the big Tesco's to the corner shop:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/04/25/greedflation/#commissar-bezos

Amazon makes so much money off of this scam that it doesn't have to pay anything to ship its own goods – the profits from overcharging merchants for "fulfillment by Amazon" pay for all the shipping, on everything Amazon sells:

https://cdn.ilsr.org/wp-content/uploads/2023/03/AmazonMonopolyTollbooth-2023.pdf

Amazon competes with its own sellers, but unlike those sellers, it doesn't have to pay a 45-51% rake – and it can make its competitor-customers cover the full cost of its own shipping! On top of that, Amazon maintains the pretense that its headquarters are in Luxembourg, the tax- and crime-haven, and pays a fraction of the taxes that British businesses pay to HMRC (and that's not counting the 45-51% tax they pay to Jeff Bezos's monoposony).

That's not the only way that Amazon unfairly competes with British businesses, though: Amazon uses its position as a middleman between buyers and sellers to identify the most successful products sold by its own customers. Then it copies those products and sells them below the original inventor's costs (because it gets free shipping, pays no tax, and doesn't have to pay its own junk fees), and drives those businesses into the ground. Even Jeff "Project Gazelle" Bezos seems to understand that this is a bad look, which is why he perjured himself to the American Congress when he was questioned under oath about it:

https://www.bbc.com/news/business-58961836

Amazon then places its knockoff products above the original goods on its search results page. Amazon makes $38b selling off placement on these search pages, and the top results for an Amazon search aren't the best matches for your query – they're the ones that pay the most. On average, Amazon's top result for a search is 29% more expensive than the best match on the site. On average, the top row of results is 25% more expensive than the best match on the site. On average, Amazon buries the best result for your search 17 places down the results page:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/11/03/subprime-attention-rent-crisis/#euthanize-rentiers

Amazon, in other words, acts like the business regulator for the economies it dominates. It decides what can be sold, and at what prices. It decides whose products come up when you search, and thus which businesses deserve to live and which ones deserve to die. An economy dominated by Amazon isn't a market economy – it's a planned economy, run by Party Secretary Bezos for the benefit of Amazon's shareholders.

Now, there is a role for a business regulator, because some businesses really don't deserve to live (because they sell harmful products, engage in deceptive practices, etc). The UK has a regulator that's in charge of this stuff: the Competition and Markets Authority, which is now going to be run by Jeff Bezos's hand-picked UK Amazon boss. That means that Amazon is now both the official and the unofficial central planner of the UK economy, with a free hand to raise prices, lower quality, and destroy British businesses, while hiding its profits in Luxemourg and starving the exchequer of taxes.

The "first buddy" role that Keir Starmer just handed over to Jeff Bezos is, in every way, more generous than the first buddy deal Trump gave Elon Musk.

Starmer's government claims they're doing this for "growth" but Amazon isn't a force for growth, it's force for extraction. It is a notorious underpayer of its labour force, a notorious tax-cheat, and a world-beating destroyer of local economies, local jobs, and local tax bases. Contrary to Amazon's own self-mythologizing, it doesn't deliver lower prices – it raises prices throughout the economy. It doesn't improve quality – this is a company whose algorithmic recommendation system failed to recognize that an "energy drink" was actually its own drivers' bottled piss, which it then promoted until it was the best-selling energy drink on the platform:

https://pluralistic.net/2023/10/20/release-energy/#the-bitterest-lemon

There's a reason that the UK, the EU, Japan and South Korea found it so easy to collaborate on antitrust cases against American companies: these are all countries whose competition law was rewritten by American technocrats during the Marshall Plan, modeled on the US's own laws. The bedrock of US competition law is 1890's Sherman Act, whose author, Senator John Sherman, declared that:

If we will not endure a King as a political power we should not endure a King over the production, transportation, and sale of the necessaries of life. If we would not submit to an emperor we should not submit to an autocrat of trade with power to prevent competition and to fix the price of any commodity.

https://pluralistic.net/2022/02/20/we-should-not-endure-a-king/

Jeff Bezos is the autocrat of trade that John Sherman warned us about, 135 years ago. And Keir Starmer just abdicated in his favour.

Learn to Use SQL, MongoDB, and Big Data in Data Science

In today’s data-driven world, understanding the right tools is as important as understanding the data. If you plan to pursue a data science certification in Pune, knowing SQL, MongoDB, and Big Data technologies isn’t just a bonus — it’s essential. These tools form the backbone of modern data ecosystems and are widely used in real-world projects to extract insights, build models, and make data-driven decisions.

Whether you are planning on updating your resume, wanting to find a job related to analytics, or just have a general interest in how businesses apply data. Learning how to deal with structured and unstructured data sets should be a goal.

Now, analysing the relation of SQL, MongoDB, and Big Data technologies in data science and how they may transform your career, if you are pursuing data science classes in Pune.

Why These Tools Matter in Data Science?

Data that today’s data scientists use varies from transactional data in SQL databases to social network data stored in NoSQL, such as MongoDB, and data larger than the amount that can be processed by conventional means. It has to go through Big Data frameworks. That is why it is crucial for a person to master such tools:

1. SQL: The Language of Structured Data

SQL (Structured Query Language) is a widely used language to facilitate interaction between users and relational databases. Today, almost every industry globally uses SQL to solve organisational processes in healthcare, finance, retail, and many others.

How It’s Used in Real Life?

Think about what it would be like to become an employee in one of the retail stores based in Pune. In this case, you are supposed to know the trends of products that are popular in the festive season. Therefore, it is possible to use SQL and connect to the company’s sales database to select data for each product and sort it by categories, as well as to determine the sales velocity concerning the seasons. It is also fast, efficient, and functions in many ways that are simply phenomenal.

Key SQL Concepts to Learn:

SELECT, JOIN, GROUP BY, and WHERE clauses

Window functions for advanced analytics

Indexing for query optimisation

Creating stored procedures and views

Whether you're a beginner or brushing up your skills during a data science course in Pune, SQL remains a non-negotiable part of the toolkit.

2. MongoDB: Managing Flexible and Semi-Structured Data

As businesses increasingly collect varied forms of data, like user reviews, logs, and IoT sensor readings, relational databases fall short. Enter MongoDB, a powerful NoSQL database that allows you to store and manage data in JSON-like documents.

Real-Life Example:

Suppose you're analysing customer feedback for a local e-commerce startup in Pune. The feedback varies in length, structure, and language. MongoDB lets you store this inconsistent data without defining a rigid schema upfront. With tools like MongoDB’s aggregation pipeline, you can quickly extract insights and categorise sentiment.

What to Focus On?

CRUD operations in MongoDB

Aggregation pipelines for analysis

Schema design and performance optimisation

Working with nested documents and arrays

Learning MongoDB is especially valuable during your data science certification in Pune, as it prepares you for working with diverse data sources common in real-world applications.

3. Big Data: Scaling Your Skills to Handle Volume

As your datasets grow, traditional tools may no longer suffice. Big Data technologies like Hadoop and Spark allow you to efficiently process terabytes or even petabytes of data.

Real-Life Use Case:

Think about a logistics company in Pune tracking thousands of deliveries daily. Data streams in from GPS devices, traffic sensors, and delivery apps. Using Big Data tools, you can process this information in real-time to optimise routes, reduce fuel costs, and improve delivery times.

What to Learn?

Hadoop’s HDFS for distributed storage

MapReduce programming model.

Apache Spark for real-time and batch processing

Integrating Big Data with Python and machine learning pipelines

Understanding how Big Data integrates with ML workflows is a career-boosting advantage for those enrolled in data science training in Pune.

Combining SQL, MongoDB, and Big Data in Projects

In practice, data scientists often use these tools together. Here’s a simplified example:

You're building a predictive model to understand user churn for a telecom provider.

Use SQL to fetch customer plans and billing history.

Use MongoDB to analyse customer support chat logs.

Use Spark to process massive logs from call centres in real-time.

Once this data is cleaned and structured, it feeds into your machine learning model. This combination showcases the power of knowing multiple tools — a vital edge you gain during a well-rounded data science course in Pune.

How do These Tools Impact Your Career?

Recruiters look for professionals who can navigate relational and non-relational databases and handle large-scale processing tasks. Mastering these tools not only boosts your credibility but also opens up job roles like:

Data Analyst

Machine Learning Engineer

Big Data Engineer

Data Scientist

If you're taking a data science certification in Pune, expect practical exposure to SQL and NoSQL tools, plus the chance to work on capstone projects involving Big Data. Employers value candidates who’ve worked with diverse datasets and understand how to optimise data workflows from start to finish.

Tips to Maximise Your Learning

Work on Projects: Try building a mini data pipeline using public datasets. For instance, analyze COVID-19 data using SQL, store news updates in MongoDB, and run trend analysis using Spark.

Use Cloud Platforms: Tools like Google BigQuery or MongoDB Atlas are great for practising in real-world environments.

Collaborate and Network: Connect with other learners in Pune. Attend meetups, webinars, or contribute to open-source projects.

Final Thoughts

SQL, MongoDB, and Big Data are no longer optional in the data science world — they’re essential. Whether you're just starting or upgrading your skills, mastering these technologies will make you future-ready.

If you plan to enroll in a data science certification in Pune, look for programs that emphasise hands-on training with these tools. They are the bridge between theory and real-world application, and mastering them will give you the confidence to tackle any data challenge.

Whether you’re from a tech background or switching careers, comprehensive data science training in Pune can help you unlock your potential. Embrace the learning curve, and soon, you'll be building data solutions that make a real impact, right from the heart of Pune.

What is Business Management? And Why It Can Be a Great Career Choice

Ever wondered who really runs the show behind successful companies, top brands, and high-growth startups? It's not always the CEO. It's often the skilled business managers making the daily decisions that actually drive results. And yet… business management is one of the most misunderstood and underrated career paths in 2025.

You might think it’s just about holding meetings and managing people. But the truth? Business management is at the heart of strategy, innovation, leadership, and profitability. And if you’ve ever dreamed of being in control, influencing outcomes, or building your own empire, this might be the career you didn’t know you needed. So, what exactly is business management, and why are more students and professionals turning to it now than ever before?

What Is Business Management?

Business management is the planning, organizing, and overseeing of business operations to ensure things run efficiently, goals are met, and profits are maximized. But here’s the twist: it’s not just about “managing.”

It’s about:

Solving high-stakes problems under pressure

Leading teams to deliver results

Making strategic decisions that affect the bottom line

Navigating markets, trends, and competition

In short? Business management is where strategy meets execution. Whether it’s a retail chain, a tech startup, a nonprofit, or a global corporation, business managers keep the engine running.

What You’ll Learn in a Business Management Program

Most business management degrees (BBA, MBA, or related) cover essential areas like:

Leadership & organizational behavior

Strategic planning

Tech

Healthcare

Finance

Logistics

Media

Startups

NGOs The skills you gain can be used anywhere—and that means more options, more freedom, and less risk.

2. You're Paid to Lead, Solve, and Think Big

As a business manager, you're not just following instructions—you’re making calls that affect real outcomes. That kind of responsibility comes with above-average pay and fast-track promotions, especially for those who perform well.

According to recent data, business managers in the U.S. earn between $70,000–$130,000+, depending on the field, experience, and location. With an MBA, that number can skyrocket.

3. Future-Proof Skills in a Changing World

AI is automating tasks. Jobs are evolving. But what isn’t going anywhere?

Leadership

Critical thinking

Strategic decision-making

These are the exact skills business management teaches you. It’s not just a career—it’s insurance for the future of work.

Who Should Consider Business Management?

Then business management could be your perfect match.

Where Can It Take You?

The possibilities are endless:

Business Analyst

Operations Manager

Project Leader

Marketing Director

Entrepreneur

Strategy Consultant

Why Every Investment Banker Needs to Understand Fintech in 2025

Once a stronghold of legacy systems, paper-heavy processes, and exclusive boardroom deals, investment banking is undergoing a seismic shift. At the heart of this transformation? Fintech.

In 2025, fintech is no longer just a disruptor—it’s a driving force reshaping how investment banks operate, compete, and deliver value. From AI-driven deal analysis to blockchain-backed settlements and robo-advisory services, the landscape has evolved beyond recognition.

For those aspiring to enter this fast-paced domain, understanding how fintech is revolutionizing investment banking is critical. And if you're considering an investment banking course in Thane, make sure it doesn’t just teach traditional finance—but future finance.

Let’s break down how fintech is transforming investment banking, the opportunities it's creating, the challenges it poses, and why it matters more than ever for your career.

What Is Fintech and Why Is It Disrupting Investment Banking?

Fintech—short for financial technology—refers to the integration of technology into offerings by financial services companies. It enhances financial processes using innovations like:

Artificial Intelligence (AI)

Blockchain

Robo-advisory platforms

Big Data analytics

Cloud computing

Mobile-first services

While initially focused on retail banking and personal finance, fintech has rapidly expanded its influence into investment banking, transforming everything from mergers and acquisitions (M&A) to equity research and client onboarding.

How Fintech Is Reshaping Investment Banking in 2025

1. AI-Driven Deal Analysis and Decision Making

AI is streamlining the M&A process by crunching massive datasets to identify potential targets, value companies accurately, and assess risk scenarios. Traditional financial modeling is being replaced with AI-powered predictive analytics, enabling faster, more precise decision-making.

For investment bankers, this means less time spent on spreadsheets and more time on strategic thinking. Tools like ChatGPT, Bloomberg GPT, and custom AI models are helping analysts create pitch decks, run simulations, and even summarize market reports in seconds.

2. Blockchain and Smart Contracts

Settlement cycles that once took days are now nearly instantaneous with blockchain. Tokenized securities and decentralized finance (DeFi) platforms are enabling secure, transparent, and real-time transactions, reducing the reliance on intermediaries.

Smart contracts—self-executing contracts with terms directly written into code—are automating syndicated loan agreements, reducing fraud, and ensuring compliance.

3. Robo-Advisory and Digital Wealth Management

Robo-advisors like Betterment and Wealthfront have disrupted wealth management, and investment banks are taking note. These platforms use algorithms to offer automated, data-driven financial advice at a fraction of the traditional cost.

In investment banking, this is influencing how portfolio advisory and private banking services are delivered—especially to tech-savvy clients who expect speed, transparency, and personalization.

4. Big Data & Sentiment Analysis

The days of relying solely on quarterly reports are gone. Now, investment bankers leverage big data and sentiment analysis tools to interpret:

Social media trends

Consumer behavior

Global news sentiment

Market volatility

This data-driven approach gives them an edge in identifying emerging sectors, predicting IPO outcomes, or advising clients on market entry strategies.

5. RegTech: Managing Compliance Through Automation

With regulations becoming more complex, fintech has introduced RegTech (regulatory technology) to help banks automate compliance checks, audit trails, and reporting.

For example, AI tools now scan thousands of transactions and flag suspicious patterns, ensuring that investment banks stay compliant with anti-money laundering (AML) laws and global financial regulations.

Opportunities Fintech Brings to Investment Banking

✔ Increased Efficiency

Processes that once took weeks—like underwriting or KYC (Know Your Customer)—can now be completed in hours using fintech solutions.

✔ Better Client Experiences

Fintech enables personalized services through data-driven insights, improving client satisfaction and long-term retention.

✔ Enhanced Risk Management

Predictive analytics and real-time data help firms identify risks before they become losses, enabling more resilient decision-making.

✔ Cost Reduction

Automation through RPA (Robotic Process Automation) and AI reduces the need for manual labor, saving time and operational costs.

Challenges: The Other Side of the Coin

While fintech brings incredible advantages, it’s not without its hurdles.

❌ Cybersecurity Risks

Increased digitization brings with it the risk of data breaches, hacking, and identity theft. Firms must invest in strong cybersecurity frameworks.

❌ Talent Gap

There’s a growing need for professionals who understand both finance and technology. Traditional finance degrees often don’t cover areas like Python, data analytics, or blockchain.

❌ Regulatory Uncertainty

Fintech evolves faster than policy. Investment banks must navigate shifting regulatory landscapes, especially with digital assets and cross-border transactions.

The Career Angle: Why You Need Fintech Skills Today

Gone are the days when mastering Excel and PowerPoint was enough. Today’s investment bankers need to be:

Data literate

Tech-savvy

AI-fluent

Blockchain-aware

This has made professional training more important than ever. If you're aiming to break into this exciting world, you need more than a traditional finance education.

That’s why enrolling in a tech-integrated investment banking course in Thane can be your game-changer.

Why Choose an Investment Banking Course in Thane?

Thane, located in the heart of Maharashtra's financial ecosystem, offers proximity to Mumbai—India’s financial capital. Opting for an investment banking course in Thane gives you:

Access to Industry Experts: Many courses offer sessions with professionals from top banks and fintech startups.

Hands-on Learning: Learn tools like Python for finance, Tableau, financial modeling, and AI applications in banking.

Placement Assistance: Good institutes offer career support, resume building, and mock interviews with real industry case studies.

Future-Focused Curriculum: Look for programs that integrate fintech, AI, and data analytics alongside traditional finance.

One such institute offering cutting-edge, industry-aligned programs is the Boston Institute of Analytics, known for preparing students for the real world of finance and fintech.

Conclusion: The Fintech-Investment Banking Fusion Is the Future

Fintech is no longer a threat or a buzzword—it's the present and future of investment banking. From enhancing client experience to automating compliance, from real-time trading to decentralized deals, technology is here to stay.

If you're dreaming of a career in this thrilling, fast-paced world, it’s time to upgrade your skills and mindset. A robust, modern investment banking course in Thanecould be your first step into this digital frontier.

So gear up. Learn tech. Embrace change. And enter the world of investment banking not just as a finance pro, but as a future-ready finance-tech hybrid.

amazon vendor central consulting

Amazon Vendor Central Consulting: Why You Absolutely Need It to Win Big on Amazon

Let’s get one thing straight—selling on Amazon is not the same beast it was a few years ago. It’s more complex, more competitive, and honestly, more chaotic. If you're a brand that’s been invited to Vendor Central, you might think you've hit the jackpot. You're technically selling wholesale directly to Amazon. Sounds elite, right? Maybe. But in reality, Vendor Central comes with its own jungle of challenges—and that’s where Amazon Vendor Central consulting becomes a non-negotiable weapon in your arsenal.

Let’s unpack why this matters, how it works, what consultants actually do, and why flying solo on Vendor Central is a bad idea in 2025 and beyond.

What Is Amazon Vendor Central, Really?

Amazon has two main selling platforms: Seller Central (where third-party sellers list and sell directly to customers) and Vendor Central (where you sell to Amazon itself, and they resell your products).

Vendor Central is invite-only. If you’re on it, Amazon is your customer. They place purchase orders (POs), buy your inventory wholesale, handle pricing, and manage fulfillment. In theory, that sounds like a dream—you focus on making your product, Amazon handles the rest.

But here's the tea: it’s not that simple. Vendor Central is corporate Amazon. You’re playing by Amazon’s rules now. No shortcuts, no friendly support reps holding your hand. Everything from chargebacks to supply chain logistics is like navigating a maze blindfolded.

Why You Need Amazon Vendor Central Consulting

Let’s break it down. If you’re on Vendor Central and not using a consultant or agency, you’re:

Leaving money on the table

Missing out on growth opportunities

Risking chargebacks and compliance penalties

Wasting time trying to understand Amazon’s cryptic backend

Here's where Amazon Vendor Central consultants come in: they help you optimize, manage, and scale your business within Amazon's strict systems. They know how to play the game—and more importantly, how to win.

What Does a Vendor Central Consultant Actually Do?

Alright, so what’s the job description of these so-called consultants? Let’s walk through the main roles they play:

1. Purchase Order (PO) Management

Vendor Central operates on POs. You don’t control when they come or what’s in them—but consultants help you forecast, negotiate better terms, and avoid out-of-stock issues. They also handle the logistics and backend chaos that comes with processing POs efficiently.

2. Chargeback & Deduction Recovery

Amazon loves a good chargeback. Late shipment? Wrong label? Expect a deduction. Consultants specialize in reducing these errors and recovering lost revenue. They go deep into compliance protocols so you don’t bleed cash from unnecessary penalties.

3. Catalog & Content Optimization

Even though Amazon controls your listings, consultants can still influence your A+ content, product descriptions, images, and backend keywords. An optimized listing is still key for discoverability and conversion.

4. Marketing & Advertising (Yes, Even on Vendor Central)

Vendor Central brands have access to Amazon Marketing Services (AMS)—this includes Sponsored Products, Sponsored Brands, DSP, etc. Consultants help you set up and manage these campaigns strategically so you're not burning ad spend for fun.

5. Retail Readiness & Brand Store Management

Consultants make sure your pages are “retail-ready”—meaning everything looks legit and professional. They also manage your Amazon Brand Store, which is like your digital storefront on Amazon. First impressions matter.

6. Data Analytics & Reporting

Amazon’s reports are... let’s just say, a mess to the untrained eye. Consultants extract key insights from Vendor Central’s analytics, track performance KPIs, and use that data to drive smarter business decisions.

Common Pain Points on Vendor Central (That a Consultant Can Fix)

If you're experiencing any of these, it's time to stop winging it and bring in the experts:

Constant chargebacks with no idea why

Late or missed POs

Confusing EDI issues or software miscommunication

Low profit margins due to Amazon’s aggressive pricing

No control over retail prices

Disorganized or outdated product listings

Amazon suspending products or entire categories out of the blue

Consultants either prevent these problems or clean up the mess when they happen. Either way, they’re your buffer between you and Amazon’s madness.

Seller Central vs. Vendor Central: Why the Consulting Needs Are Different

Look, Seller Central sellers are hustlers—they run their own ship. But Vendor Central brands are in a different league. You're expected to act like a supplier, not a seller. That means dealing with:

EDI systems (electronic data interchange)

ASNs (advanced shipment notifications)

Retail analytics that track wholesale performance

Negotiating terms with Amazon Retail buyers

It’s more B2B than D2C. That means the consulting is less about marketing gimmicks and more about supply chain mastery, compliance management, and negotiation strategy. So don’t expect your usual "Amazon guru" to handle this. You need pros who speak fluent Vendor Central.

Who Should Actually Use Vendor Central Consulting?

Not everyone needs it. But here’s who definitely should:

Consumer brands doing over $1M in annual revenue

Manufacturers supplying products at scale

Global brands that need help navigating multiple Amazon regions

Any brand struggling with chargebacks or profitability on Vendor Central

And let’s be brutally honest—if your team is small or you’re new to Vendor Central, trying to DIY this platform is like trying to fly a plane with zero hours of training. You will crash. Maybe not today, but eventually.

What to Look for in a Good Vendor Central Consultant or Agency

Here’s your checklist when choosing a consulting partner:

Proven experience with Vendor Central (not just Seller Central)

Real case studies with revenue impact

Chargeback reduction expertise

In-house tech team or EDI specialists

Clear communication and reporting

Amazon Advertising certified team

Not charging BS “strategy fees” with no deliverables

Avoid agencies that talk big but don’t specialize in Vendor Central. There’s a world of difference between listing optimization and end-to-end PO lifecycle management.

How Much Does Amazon Vendor Central Consulting Cost?

Prices vary. But here’s the general range:

Freelancers: $50–$150/hour (good for small fixes or audits)

Boutique agencies: $2,000–$5,000/month (ideal for growing brands)

Enterprise agencies: $10,000+/month (for global brands with high SKU counts)

Some charge a percentage of recovered revenue (from chargebacks, for example), others work on retainers. Just make sure you’re getting ROI.

Is It Worth It?

Let’s not sugar-coat this. Vendor Central is not beginner-friendly, and it’s definitely not forgiving. But if you do it right? You get access to massive distribution, Amazon’s logistical firepower, and that sweet, sweet “Sold by Amazon” trust badge.

Amazon Vendor Central consulting is 100% worth it if:

You want to scale without chaos

You’re tired of playing defense

You want someone who understands the algorithm AND the backend systems

You need to stop bleeding money on compliance issues

You want to maximize your wholesale business with Amazon

Final Thoughts: Play Smart or Get Played

The harsh truth? Amazon is built to benefit Amazon. The more you sell, the more they win—but that doesn’t mean your margins have to shrink or your operations need to suffer.

Consulting is no longer a luxury; it’s the cost of doing serious business on Amazon Vendor Central consulting. In a world where retail and eCommerce are fusing, and Amazon continues to dominate shelf space (digital and physical), you either get strategic or get left behind.

So yeah—if you’ve been trying to figure out Vendor Central on your own, it’s time to call in the pros. Don’t wait until the chargebacks pile up and your brand reputation is at risk. Get help now, scale faster, and stop trying to do everything solo.

Written by Menswear Style in Business on the 24th April 2025 When people think of fashion careers, the usual suspects come to mind—models, designers, stylists, and maybe a few influencers. But the industry is far more layered than what we see on magazine covers or social media. Behind every stunning runway moment is a team of skilled professionals working behind the scenes to bring it all to life. For those who love fashion but don’t see themselves sketching gowns or strutting catwalks, there’s a whole universe of exciting roles that often go unnoticed. From data analysts to sustainability officers, these positions are reshaping what it means to work in fashion. As recruitment specialists for the fashion industry can attest, brands today are looking for a broader mix of talent—people who bring fresh perspectives, tech skills, and real-world problem-solving into the creative fold. This article explores some of the most underrated fashion careers worth considering—and how to break into them even if you’re just starting out. Trend forecasters are the style prophets of the industry. Their job? Spot what’s coming before it hits the shelves. This isn’t guesswork—it’s a blend of cultural research, data analysis, and a strong instinct for what will resonate with consumers next season, or even next year. You’ll often find trend forecasters working for big brands, independent forecasting agencies, or major retailers. Their insights help decide everything from colour palettes to hemlines and even packaging. How to break in: Start by brushing up on consumer psychology, fashion history, and analytics. Platforms like WGSN or TrendUnion are excellent to study, and building your own trend reports—even just on social—can showcase your knack for spotting what’s next. Every fashion show, photoshoot, and product release runs on a tight schedule—and that’s where production coordinators shine. They manage logistics, communicate between departments, wrangle suppliers, and solve last-minute problems before they snowball. It’s a high-stress but high-reward job. You won’t always get a front-row seat, but you will be the reason the show goes on. Who it’s great for: Anyone who thrives on organization, loves juggling tasks, and isn’t afraid to step in and take control. You need to be part logistics manager, part therapist, and part magician. Getting started: Experience in event planning, retail operations, or even theatre production can help. Many coordinators work their way up from internships or assistant roles, learning the ropes on real projects. Think fashion can’t be a numbers game? Think again. As the industry leans more into e-commerce and AI-driven decision-making, fashion brands are desperate for data analysts who can turn raw numbers into actionable insights. These analysts track customer behavior, buying patterns, and market trends to help brands design smarter collections and manage inventory more efficiently. Your spreadsheet might not make the front page of Vogue, but your work could save a company millions. How to prep: A background in statistics, computer science, or even economics helps. Combine that with a genuine interest in style, and you’ll be way ahead of the pack. Garment technologists are the technical minds behind how a garment fits, feels, and functions. They work closely with designers and manufacturers to test fabrics, tweak construction, and ensure that clothes meet quality and safety standards. From high-performance activewear to delicate couture gowns, they make sure things are made well—and made to last. Ideal for: People who love details, have a feel for fabrics, and don’t mind doing the less glamorous work behind the seams. How to break in: Many universities offer specialized courses in garment technology or textile science. But if you’ve got hands-on experience from tailoring, fashion design, or quality control, you may already have what it takes. Visual merchandisers are the storytellers of the sales floor. They design in-store displays, window setups, and product arrangements that draw in customers and boost conversions. And in the age of Instagram, their work often doubles as brand content. It’s a mix of design, psychology, and retail know-how. If you’ve ever rearranged your bedroom five times just to “get the vibe right,” you might be a natural. Landing a role: Start with retail experience and a sharp eye for aesthetics. Building a mood board portfolio—or even redesigning existing store layouts for fun—can get you noticed. Sustainability isn’t a buzzword anymore — it’s a business model. More brands are hiring dedicated sourcing specialists to audit supply chains, vet ethical suppliers, and reduce environmental impact across production. This is a great fit for people who care about climate justice, fair trade, and fashion’s long-term impact on the planet. Skill set needed: Knowledge of supply chain management, global trade regulations, and sustainability certifications (like GOTS or OEKO-TEX) is key. Experience in fashion buying or logistics is also valuable. Love fashion and words? This one’s for you. Fashion copywriters craft product descriptions, brand campaigns, lookbook narratives, and digital content for websites and social platforms. A great copywriter doesn’t just describe a coat—they sell the feeling you get when you wear it. How to start: Build writing samples around fashion topics you love. Blogging, freelance gigs, or even rewriting brand copy for practice can go a long way. Bonus points for knowing your SEO basics. Showroom assistants play a critical role in how collections are presented to buyers, stylists, and editors. They prep samples, coordinate appointments, and ensure the brand is perfectly showcased—often during fashion weeks and sales seasons. This role is all about first impressions, relationship-building, and attention to detail. Career path: Many fashion buyers and wholesale managers started here. It’s often a stepping stone to bigger roles in brand development and retail partnerships. How to Get Your Foot in the (Very Stylish) Door Even though these roles don’t always get the spotlight, they’re essential to the fashion ecosystem. And while fashion is notoriously competitive, the industry is also evolving - fast. Whether you’re changing careers or just getting started, here’s what helps: Internships matter – even the short ones. Follow the right people – trend analysts, stylists, recruiters—watch what they’re sharing. Make your portfolio digital – whether you’re applying for merch or marketing, a curated online presence can help. Talk to people who are already doing it – a 15-minute chat can change your entire approach. And if you’re not sure where to begin, this is exactly where a team of recruitment specialists comes in handy. They can help you spot where your skills align with open roles you might not have considered otherwise. You don’t have to sew, sketch, or strut to belong in fashion. Maybe you love crunching numbers. Maybe you’re obsessed with storytelling. Or maybe your superpower is organizing chaos before it becomes a crisis. Wherever you fit, there’s a corner of the fashion industry that needs what you’ve got. And chances are, it’s beyond the runway. /* */ Source link

Revolutionizing Investment Banking: How Emerging Technologies Are Changing the Industry

Investment banking has long been associated with complex financial modeling, high-stakes deal-making, and long nights filled with Excel sheets and pitch decks. But in recent years, something unprecedented has begun to reshape this high-powered industry—technology.

From algorithmic trading and blockchain to AI-powered due diligence and robotic process automation (RPA), digital innovation is transforming how investment banks operate and what skills professionals need to succeed. If you're planning to build a career in this space, understanding this technological shift is no longer optional—it's essential.

Whether you're a finance graduate, an MBA student, or a career-switcher, enrolling in a practical investment banking course in Hyderabad can help you stay ahead in a tech-driven financial world. But before we get to that, let’s dive into how exactly technology is redefining investment banking.

1. The Rise of Automation in Banking Operations

Investment banking has traditionally been a labor-intensive domain. Analysts would spend hours gathering data, updating pitch decks, and performing repetitive tasks. Today, many of these tasks are being automated.

Robotic Process Automation (RPA) tools are now being used to:

Extract and consolidate market data

Populate valuation models

Generate standard client reports

Streamline compliance documentation

This means junior bankers no longer spend all their time on mechanical tasks and instead focus more on strategy, interpretation, and client interaction.

If you're training through an investment banking course in Hyderabad, look for programs that expose you to automation tools like Python for finance, or Tableau for dashboards. These are becoming as essential as Excel.

2. Artificial Intelligence is Reshaping Due Diligence

AI is rapidly changing the way due diligence and risk analysis are performed. Traditionally, bankers would sift through thousands of documents manually—financial reports, legal contracts, and market research—to assess a deal’s viability.

Now, AI-powered tools can:

Analyze documents in seconds

Identify red flags in contracts

Predict company performance

Even detect fraud indicators through pattern recognition

This not only speeds up decision-making but also reduces human error. Learning how to use or understand these tools can set you apart in interviews and on the job.

3. Big Data and Predictive Analytics Are Driving Investment Decisions

Investment banks are now leveraging big data and predictive analytics to assess potential opportunities more accurately. For example:

An M&A banker might analyze real-time social media sentiment before advising on a consumer brand acquisition

Equity analysts might use alternative data (like satellite imagery or credit card usage) to forecast a retailer’s sales

Risk teams use predictive models to anticipate credit defaults or market crashes

If you're eyeing a seat at the investment banking table, understanding data interpretation and analytics is key. The best investment banking course in Hyderabad should not only teach traditional finance but also how data science is intersecting with investment banking.

4. Blockchain and Smart Contracts Are Entering the Scene

Though blockchain is more commonly associated with cryptocurrencies, its impact on investment banking is becoming clearer each day.

How blockchain is disrupting investment banking:

Settlement and clearing: Blockchain enables near-instant settlements, reducing transaction times from days to seconds

Smart contracts: Automatically execute terms of a deal once specific conditions are met

Securities issuance: Tokenization of assets could redefine IPOs and bond issuance

This could drastically reduce costs and improve transparency. Imagine a future where mergers are executed with smart contracts on decentralized platforms. Sounds futuristic? It’s already happening in pilot phases across global banks.

A forward-thinking investment banking course in Hyderabad should introduce these concepts to prepare students for the industry’s future.

5. Virtual Deal Rooms and Remote Work

Thanks to cloud technology and secure communication platforms, deal-making has gone virtual. Investment bankers are now closing transactions worth billions of dollars over Zoom and Slack, using encrypted virtual data rooms (VDRs) to share sensitive documents.

Key platforms like DealRoom, Intralinks, and Datasite are now part of the digital toolkit for investment bankers.

This shift also makes investment banking more location-flexible, opening doors for remote roles and hybrid setups. For students and professionals in Hyderabad, it means you don’t always have to move to Mumbai or Delhi to land top IB roles—you can contribute virtually.

6. Tech-Savvy Talent is in High Demand

As banks embrace technology, they're also shifting their hiring strategy. Increasingly, investment banks are looking for professionals who not only understand finance but are also:

Comfortable with data tools and analytics

Capable of working with AI platforms

Aware of emerging technologies like blockchain

Adaptable to digital tools for communication and project management

That’s why a comprehensive investment banking course in Hyderabad should go beyond just teaching you how to build a DCF model. It should prepare you for a digitally disrupted industry where finance meets tech.

How an Investment Banking Course in Hyderabad Can Future-Proof Your Career

Hyderabad is quickly becoming a hub for tech and finance, thanks to the rise of IT corridors, fintech startups, and global consulting firms setting up shop in the city. This makes it an ideal location for aspiring investment bankers to learn and grow.

Here’s what to look for in a top-tier investment banking course in Hyderabad:

Updated Curriculum: Must cover both traditional and tech-driven IB practices

Hands-On Projects: Financial modeling, M&A simulations, data analysis

Access to Tools: Excel, Power BI, Python, Bloomberg, CapitalIQ

Industry Mentors: Faculty with real-world investment banking experience

Placement Support: Career guidance and interview prep for IB and corporate finance roles

By choosing the right program, you not only build strong technical and strategic skills but also develop digital fluency—something that recruiters are actively seeking.

Final Thoughts

Technology is not replacing investment bankers—it’s redefining their roles. The future of investment banking will belong to professionals who can blend financial acumen with technological agility.

Whether it's AI, automation, blockchain, or big data, these innovations are transforming how deals are sourced, analyzed, negotiated, and executed. For students and young professionals in Hyderabad, this is both a challenge and an opportunity.

The best way to ride this wave of transformation? Equip yourself with the right skills, tools, and industry insights through a forward-looking investment banking course in Hyderabad. Not only will it help you land your first role in investment banking, but it will also keep you relevant as the industry evolves.
