Market Research Report : Courier market in india 2014 - SampleNetscribes, Inc.
For the complete report, get in touch with us at: info@netscribes.com
Abstract :
The report highlights the analysis of the drivers and explains the factors for growth of the industry. Global Trade Boom, Growth in e-Tailing, Growing Business of Private Telecom Sector, Financial Institutions Dependence on Courier and Seasonal Business Upsurge Due to Occasions are the key drivers of this market. Top courier companies operating in India are specializing in secure and in-time delivery of Indian pharma products. The telecom sector is dependent on courier service largely for Sending postpaid connection bills, Bulk sim delivery in business houses and Sending important notices and intimations to customers. A commercial bank spends approximately INR 2.4 bn annually on courier to meet its business needs. Courier companies are normally hired by florists to deliver fresh flowers to clientele on birthdays, anniversaries and wedding occasions.
There are various challenges too that the courier industry faces, Poor Infrastructure, Poor Warehousing Facility, Delay in Clearances and High operating costs are the major challenges faced by the courier industry. A huge number of roadways in India are un-metalled that poses difficulty for courier service providers – almost 40% of villages do not have any access to all weather roads. Due to heavy cargo movement the customs at various international airports is unable to send detention memo for most of the detained parcels and this adversely affects courier service operators’ business. High level of competition in the industry limits the ability of courier companies to increase pricing and high level of operating costs coupled with the limited pricing power lead to low profitability for the industry overall
Some recent technology adoption in the courier industry is the use of GPS which is used for tracking location of goods carrying vehicles. Barcode technology is used to monitor flow of documents and other courier items at various points in from point of origin to point of delivery. RFID aids in smooth information flow between monitoring unit and on-duty delivery. The Indian Government has been operating postal and telegraph service through India Post since 1837 and has evolved over the years to provide fast and reliable service at par with other key players in the market. The Government of India is also considering setting up of dedicated cargo airports to tap the growing courier market.

Integrated Marketing Proposal for USPS - BIC Class ProjectAlexandra Suazo
CCNY's BIC foundational course Business Strategy & Measurement, taught by Scott Elias, focused on business growth-specifically; how brands have been and are created and curated, acquired and sold. Students learned how to develop, design and implement branding and integrated strategies that optimize business growth, brand equity (value), vitality, and resonance.
Our final assignment focused on business process, facts and findings about the consumer, and the competition and societal landscapes of a brand of choice. As a small team of four, my group tackled the United States Postal Service (USPS). The final presentation included a situational review on the past and current brand perception as well as competitive research on the mail delivery and courier industry, a brand brief framework and identity, and finally an integrated marketing communications plan (IMCP) for the proposed repositioning of USPS.
As team lead, I managed the production (visual design and formatting) and editing of the final PPT presentation and led the content areas related to the consumer audience and their voice and the IMCP. I’m particularly proud of my Instagram idea and mockup on slide 33.

Integrated Marketing Proposal for CitiBike - BIC Class ProjectAlexandra Suazo
CCNY's BIC foundational Idea Development course, taught by Gerardo Blumenkrantz, challenged students to learn the basics of idea generation, how to recognize “big ideas,” and how to critique them in order to keep the message on strategy and make the work better.
For the final project, we had the opportunity to develop a multi-media integrated marketing campaign (including a "creative curveball") for NYC’s bike sharing program, CitiBike. As a class, we brainstormed and agreed on one mutual creative brief to work from. Once finalized, each team then worked independently on their creative solution to the communications objective.
The final product was a 15-minute presentation detailing our multi-media campaign, including print, radio, digital and guerrilla marketing, along with foam board prints of the ads.
As team leader, I managed the production (visual design and formatting) and writing/editing of the final PPT presentation, and the development and curation of the digital strategy (the digital hub/#SOSCitiBike).

In Ethiopia, Ethio Lease is the first privately owned equipment leasing company with a license from the National Bank of Ethiopia. Ethio Lease provides its customers with carefully selected equipment on the basis of a lease contract, whereby the customer is the Lessee, who has a conditional right to use the equipment, and Ethio Lease is the Lessor, who buys and owns the equipment. If the equipment needs to be imported, Ethio Lease will buy the equipment abroad, using foreign currency from its parent company, AAFC. Ethio Lease customers can pay the lease fee in Ethiopian Birr. While leasing comes in many forms and shapes, for now the only form of leasing that the NBE will allow is a capital lease (aka “financial lease” or “full pay-out” lease). This Ethio Lease can be an alternative foe very few startups, it cannot be considered as a significant alternative for startups since most of them couldn’t fit it and it couldn’t be accessible enough.

Unveiling the Secrets How Does Generative AI Work.pdfSam H
At its core, generative artificial intelligence relies on the concept of generative models, which serve as engines that churn out entirely new data resembling their training data. It is like a sculptor who has studied so many forms found in nature and then uses this knowledge to create sculptures from his imagination that have never been seen before anywhere else. If taken to cyberspace, gans work almost the same way.

Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Implicitly or explicitly all competing businesses employ a strategy to select a mix
of marketing resources. Formulating such competitive strategies fundamentally
involves recognizing relationships between elements of the marketing mix (e.g.,
price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).
