India's economy is showing signs of recovery driven by increased public spending, strong urban consumer demand, and manufacturing growth. Three months of solid industrial growth, pickup in investment, robust indirect tax collections, and signs of growth in mining suggest government measures to boost the economy through reforms and infrastructure spending are having an impact. Going forward, falling interest rates, foreign investment, and increased spending ahead of pay increases are expected to further fuel economic growth. The pace of recovery is gradual but trends are positive across many sectors.

It is widely accepted that Indian economy is recovering, albeit slowly, from the disruptions created by demonetization (November 2016) and implementation of GST (July 2017). The GDP growth is forecast to recover from below 6% in FY17 to more than 7% in FY19. At this rate, India will be the fastest growing economy amongst all major global economies.

India Economic Survey 2017 by Edelman IndiaAklanta Kalita
The Union Finance Minister Shri Arun Jaitley tabled the Economic Survey 2016-17 today, the first day of the Budget Session of the Parliament. The Economic Survey says that the adverse impact of demonetisation on GDP growth will be transitional and the economy will recover with remonetisation. The Survey states that once the cash supply is replenished, which is likely to be achieved by end of March 2017, the economy would revert to normal. The GDP growth in 2017-18, as per the survey, is projected to be in the range of 6¾-7½ percent.
The Survey suggests a few measures to maximise long-term benefits and minimise short-term costs. One, fast remonetisation and early elimination of withdrawal limits. This would reduce GDP growth deceleration and cash hoarding. Two, continued impetus to digitalisation while ensuring that this transition is gradual and inclusive, and appropriately balances the costs and benefits of cash versus digitalisation. Three, following up demonetisation by bringing land and real estate into the GST. Four, reducing tax rates and stamp duties.
Apart from this, the market liked the fact that Mr Mukherjee “did not play spoilsport”, said Mr Jagannadham Thunuguntla Equity of SMC Capital. The budget did not add to the nervousness of the market. Market men, in fact, took utmost advantage of the rally and booked profits at the peak of 332 points ahead of the long weekend with Monday being a holiday for Holi.

The Union Budget 2018-19 is going to be the last full Budget of the incumbent government and will be keenly watched for the twin provisions of driving investment and growth on one hand while maintaining fiscal discipline on the other. CII expects Budget 2018-19 to focus on four key areas: investment revival, job creation, growth of the agricultural sector and development of the social sectors of education and healthcare. CII has recommended that the government stick to fiscal prudence which in turn will help in softening interest rates and boosting GDP growth in the near to medium-term. While a slippage from the budgeted target of 3.2 per cent of GDP fiscal deficit for FY18 looks imminent now, an attempt should be made to raise additional resources so as not to diverge from the targeted deficit level by a large magnitude. This month issue of CII Economy Matters focuses on Pre-Budget Expectations: 2018-19.

• Economic slump has bottomed out – expect slow recovery ahead

• Expectations of global growth resurgence fuels commodities and crude prices

India: Kal, aaj aur kal
The numbers all seem to be looking up, the stock markets all seem to be rising once again, and cheer is back. There is spring in the air. One wonders what happened suddenly to make everything so nice. Anyhow, things as predicted are improving – largely because of heavy government interventions internationally. The lower interest rates in India are also starting to have their impact – this was all predicted, as interest rate reductions take some time to play out. But what is also predicted is that things will take a few months more to stabilise - we estimate growth for this financial year to be an unexciting 6.6%.

Search Engine Marketing - Competitor and Keyword researchETMARK ACADEMY
Over 2 Trillion searches are made per day in Google search, which means there are more than 2 Trillion visits happening across the websites of the world wide web.
People search various questions, phrases or words. But some words and phrases are searched
more often than others.
For example, the words, ‘running shoes’ are searched more often than ‘best road running
shoes for men’
These words or phrases which people use to search on Google are called Keywords.
Some keywords are searched more often than others. Number of times a keyword is searched
for in a month is called keyword volume.
Some keywords have more relevant results than others. For the phrase “running shoes” we
get more than 80M relevant results, whereas for “best road running shoes for men” we get
only 8.
The former keyword ‘running shoes’ has way more competition from popular websites to
new and small blogs, whereas the latter keyword doesn’t have that much competition. This
search competition for a keyword is called search difficulty of a keyword or keyword
difficulty.
In other words, if the keyword difficulty is ‘low’ or ‘easy’, there won’t be any competition
and if you target such keywords on your site, you can easily rank on the front page of Google.
Some keywords are searched for, just to know or to learn some information about something,
that’s their search intention. For example, “What shoe size should I choose?” or “How to pick
the right shoe size?”

Researchers and they spend more time with informational keywords.
Conversion is the action you want from your search visitors. Number of conversions that you

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated.

But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it.

1. Economy Poised for Takeoff
as Spending Surges
Industrial growth, signs of investment pickup & indirect tax kitty hint
at rebound
2. Contd…
India's economy may be about to turn the corner on the back of robust public
spending that's beginning to have an impact on the ground coupled with strong
urban consumer demand, economists and government officials said.Three months
of sound industrial growth driven by manufacturing, signs of a pickup in
investment, robust indirect tax collections and indications of a mining sector reboot
suggest that the government's attempts to revive the economy through reforms
and higher public capital spend are working.
Going ahead, the tailwinds of falling interest rates, big foreign inflows and a further
strengthening of consumer demand in anticipation of the Seventh Pay
Commission's award should propel the economy forward, said the analysts and
officials.Helping this along will be the festive season bump along with the
government chipping away at issues with steady reforms. “We are on track...
acceleration switch has been pressed... We are pushing ourselves to move towards
high-growth trajectory,“ Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion (DIPP)
secretary Amitabh Kant told ET.
3. Contd…
Kant pointed to a number of policy decisions that have already been taken in this
regard. These include further freeing up the foreign direct investment (FDI) regime,
bringing consistency and predictability to tax policy and pushing hard on
infrastructure projects, particularly in roads and railways. “The key challenge was
liquidity, particularly in the infra sector and the government has done its bit by
boosting capital expenditure in roads and railways,“ said Kant, who has been
spearheading the Centre's initiative to make doing business in the country easier as
well as the Make in India campaign, resulting in the increased flow of foreign
investment.
The government has sought to press ahead with policy changes despite resistance
from the opposition on some key changes. A senior finance ministry official said the
pace of reforms will be maintained. “We are seeing ample signs of recovery firming
up,“ said Sonal Varma, India economist at Nomura Financial Advisory & Securities
(India) Pvt Ltd. “Last twothree months signs have been more visible.“
4. Contd…
The rate at which the revival is taking place is gradual, said another expert.
“Recovery is definitely setting in but the pace is slow. In this slow pace, most
of the data will not look positive; there could be ups and down,“ said Sunil
Kumar Sinha, principal economist, India Ratings & Research. “What is
important is to see the trend.“
GLASS HALF FULL
A number of indicators seem to be pointing to a sustained pickup though a
broad-based recovery is still not secured, largely because of low capacity
utilisation holding back corporate investments, experts said.
Manufacturing output has expanded for the last 10 months with growth
hitting a near three-year high in August at 6.9%. Airline travel rose 18.7% in
August, another indicator pointing to improving consumer sentiment, apart
from an increase in automobile sales.
5. Contd…
Cement dispatches have picked up, as construction of highways gets underway and some
stalled projects resume. “There are signs of tepid but unidirectional recovery,“ said Abheek
Barua, chief economist. HDFC Bank. “There is a sustained positive trend in many sectors...
We are perhaps eightnine months away from significant recovery. One thing doing well is
urban consumption though the rural piece continues to be a problem area.“ Industrial
production growth climbed to a near threeyear high of 6.4% in August and the expansion
in the two months of the second quarter is significantly faster than the average 3.1% in the
April-June quarter. That suggests the economy has left the disappointing first quarter
behind. GDP expanded 7% in April-June quarter, lower than 7.5% recorded in the preceding
three-month period.
Though the Purchasing Managers' Index (PMI) for September has been lower, better
indirect tax collections, particularly excise duty, and higher car sales suggest economic
momentum ahead of the busy second half of the year that kicks off with the festival
season.Excise is levied on goods at the factory gate. Indirect tax collec tions rose 35.8% in
September, and by a healthy 11.5% after stripping away the impact of addition al tax
measures. Car sales rose nearly 10% in September.
6. Contd…
Inventory stocking in anticipation of festival buying should push manu facturing, with the
decline in interest rates providing a timely boost. Most banks have cut in terest rates in the
range of 25-40 basis points, bringing home loans to around 9.5%. That follows the Reserve
Bank of India cutting the policy rate by a more-than-expected 50 basis points on
September 29. A basis point is one-hundredth of a percentage point.
“Data for capital goods and consumer goods production over the past one year on a
monthly basis may have gone up and down but the trend line is pointing northwards,
which is encouraging,“ Sinha said. “We are not in a stage where everything has fallen in
place...Recovery unlike 2008 would be Ushaped.“
The likely stimulus from the upcoming Seventh Pay Commission, further monetary easing
of 25-50 basis points, the thrust on public investments coupled with structural reforms
such as the goods and services tax (GST) and ease of doing business are likely to aid the
process of recovery, said Citigroup's Anurag Jha in a note. GST is set to be rolled out on
April 1 next year but key preparatory work remains to be completed.
