USE OF OSTERWALDER'S FRAMEWORK IN ONLINE HEALTH CARE COMPANIESAbhishek Mishra
In recent years online business has increased and with that it increased the concern of
driving the visitors to the website. Every online business have certain type of business model which ensures continuous revenue for them. But again question arises is which model is suitable for what type of business.
There are some studies which are done to identify the online business models but it is also very important to understand which type of model will be suitable for what type of business strategy. But problem never ends there, again after the establishment of our business we also need to think about the most suitable social media platform for promoting our business. Because only suitable business strategy, suitable business model and right place for promotion can ensure profit to our business.
So this study is about understanding all types of online business models and identifying the best suitable model for health care portal, namely healthkosh.in and identifying most suitable social media platform for its promotional activities.
This study aims at finding out the success factors for online health care information based companies by investigating the business models of the case company, Health Kosh, and top national and international companies. Due to the time, budget and human resources limitations, only three big companies in the online health information business are chosen to evaluate in this study. Nevertheless, their business models are interesting to compare. Further study could be taken to evaluate and compare the business models of more online health care companies in different countries. Moreover, one could also study about how to improve the business model of small and medium online health care or health care content based companies in order to compete with the Internet giants companies.
To conclude, business model is significantly important for a successful online business. The business model is a fundamental factor for the success of a company. Any online company has to design their business model carefully before starting their business. The four pillars of business model as suggested by Osterwalder inter-relate each other and together make a successful business model.

Presentation on Green Marketing and eco-friendly products|Can marketing reall...Kartik Mehta
Purpose
– The purpose of this paper is to analyse the impact of green marketing strategies on consumer purchasing patterns in Mauritius. The present research also explores the possibility of introducing greener patterns of consumption into contemporary lifestyles in the current context where green products are increasingly available.
Design/methodology/approach
– This paper reviews the theory of green marketing to identify how customers are persuaded to purchase greener products. It also reports the empirical results of a consumer survey on green marketing strategies by the questionnaire method. The survey questionnaires were administered to 150 respondents visiting various hypermarkets and supermarkets. The questionnaires were processed and analysed with the statistical programme SPSS, using descriptive, correlation and factor analysis.
Findings
– The findings provide some interesting clues regarding customers’ perceptions on environmental concerns and green products. Further findings suggest that most consumers have expressed a great interest in the protection of the environment and they are strongly concerned about the environment and its degradation. Hence, business executives should host workshops and seminars so as to educate customers on environmental protection and environmental‐friendly products. Results also indicated an overall positive correlation between effective green marketing strategies and customers’ purchasing patterns for green products. Therefore, there is a powerful urge for companies to promote green branding, eco‐labelling and green packaging strategies in order to encourage a greener pattern of consumption among consumers in Mauritius.
Practical implications
– The paper suggests a stepping approach to consumer purchasing patterns for greener products could be exploited more within consumer groups that have strong environmental concerns and beliefs in Mauritius. The results also offer precious knowledge on the effectiveness of green marketing strategies which can assist both private and public enterprises in developing and designing appealing green products that will be favoured by customers.
Originality/value
– Although green marketing has been an important research topic for several decades, hardly any research has been focused on the impact of green marketing strategies on consumer purchasing patterns in the context of developing countries. This paper has analysed the strength of environmental concerns and beliefs and has provided some insights on green marketing strategies and the various managerial implications have been fully addressed in order to favour the consumption of greener products in Mauritius.

Financial accounting in Masters of Management Studies by Prof. Subhash DalviKartik Mehta
It's all about Financial Accounting:
Financial accountancy is governed by both local and international accounting standards. GAAP (which stands for Generally Accepted Accounting Principles) is the standard framework for guidelines for financial accounting used in any given jurisdiction. It includes the standards, conventions and rules that accountants follow in recording and summarising and in the preparation of financial statements. On the other hand, IFRS (International Financial Reporting Standards) is a set of international accounting standards stating how particular types of transactions and other events should be reported in financial statements. IFRS are issued by the International Accounting Standards (IASs).
“A report is a textual work made with the specific intention of relaying information or recounting certain events in a widely presentable form.”
A report must be written based on test result and facts. It must be written in a proper manner. In order to write a good report, employees must have the required report writing skills. Every employee will not be born with a writing skill. But the real fact is that all employees can develop their report writing skills if they put in some effort.
How you write and what you write can greatly influence and motivate your target audience, be it your clients, customers or the top management. The power of effective written communication can contribute significantly to organizational productivity, efficiency and success in today’s rapidly changing business world. So the better you are at this form of communication, the more successful you're likely to be.
Work Better course on this topic will take you through the steps of writing concise reports, from understanding why they are writing reports; to requirement analysis and information gathering techniques required to write precise reports; to writing and proofreading; through to creating the final, professional product.

Sales Management and Distribution Process at Dadar flower market in MumbaiKartik Mehta
I find myself waking with the sun to catch the Dadar flower market at its busiest. Although it is open all day, the market’s peak hours are 4 a.m. to 9 a.m. — shortly after the night’s deliveries have been unloaded.
I have barely left Dadar station when the sidewalks begin to overflow with flowers — vendors already fashioning their purchases from the market into bouquets and garlands, leading me toward the source like breadcrumbs on a trail. My steps quicken as the scent of jasmine blossoms grows.
Just outside the covered portion of the 720-stall market, I meet Surin and Suresh, seated on overturned crates behind their wares. They are both from Mumbai and have worked in the flower business for nearly 20 years. “This is our ancestors’ business, so we are doing it too.”
They point out bright-green tulsi leaves to me, explaining that they are used for “medicine and puja,” or special Hindu ceremonies. It isn’t until I get home and look up tulsi that I learn it is also known as holy basil, which explained why the market was so redolent of it.

Executive Summary:
Jollibee was a company originally established by the Tan family in 1975 as a family-owned ice cream parlor in the Philippines, but was soon forced to change its market caused by the oil crisis of 1977 - a factor which would have inherently caused the price of ice cream to double. Already established in the food industry and having overcome the initial barriers faced by those entering it, the Tan family successfully diversified the company to selling sandwiches. From that point, Jollibee began expanding their success by launching a total of five stores by 1978, founding what we see today as Jollibee Foods Corp.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Background
The Information Technology Industry of India dates back to 1967 when the Tata Group in
collaboration with Burroughs set up the first software zone, SEEPZ in Mumbai. In 1973 SEEPZ
became the first software export zone which saw 80% of the software export in the 1980s. Since then,
the IT sector of India has grown by leaps and bounds and has acquired India a brand name in the IT
and ITES (Information Technology Enabled Services) sector in the global scenario. The major hubs
for the IT export sector are Bangalore, Chennai, Hyderabad, Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkata. Bangalore
has earned the sobriquet, ‘The Silicon Valley of India’ owing to the maximum IT export (generating
77% of the net IT export revenue of India). The IT- ITES sector can be broadly classified into two
categories
(i) Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) and
(ii) Domestic and IT export.
The growth in the BPO sector under the supervision of the IT-ITES sector has been phenomenal.
According to NASSCOM, “The IT-BPO sector in India aggregated revenue of US$ 100 billion in FY
2012, where export and domestic revenue stood at US$ 69.1 billion and US $31.7 billion respectively”.
The industry is also an employment intensive sector. The estimated employment generation in the FY
2012 was an expected 230,000 thus providing direct employment to 2.8 million and indirect
employment 88.9 million people all over the country. According to a report prepared by Gartner, the
top five outsourcing companies of India are TCS, Cognizant, Infosys, Wipro and HCL Technologies.
Top five IT companies of India
The top five IT companies of India had a golden time during 2012 when the collective revenue growth
of these companies was 13.3% (6 times faster than the global market). However, not all the top five
companies are on the same page as Cognizant overtook Infosys (2nd ranking supplier of the industry).
Cognizant’s revenue growth of 20% as compared to Infosys’s 6% compelled the latter to break the
retirement of Narayan Murthi (founder of Infosys and former CEO) to envisage some strategic moves
to stay at par in the competition. According to Sid Pai, partner and president of outsourcing advisory,
ISG’s Asia Pacific Division, “The Indian firms are going to need to mimic the global firms. And that
of course means a margin dilution, so there is a rough patch ahead for these guys”. This in short means
that these companies have to entirely revamp their existing model of service providing, change the old
model of charging for services. Besides a fundamental change has come over the customers interested
in buying IT services and a local proximity to the customers is essential.

The post 2013 Scenario of the IT- ITES sector in India
The information technology in India is looking towards a bleak future in general in the current year.
However, small sparks of encouragement are there. As per the statement of BVR Mohan Reddy,
chairman and managing director, InfoTech Enterprises Limited, a global technology solution provider,
“Such periods of uncertainty in the past have provided a great platform for organizations to refine
strategy and execute initiates that increase competitive advantage and accelerate growth.” The Indian
IT sector will witness a predictable slump of growth from that of 16% last year to a discouraging 11%
this year. However, growth in the allied sectors like health care and insurance is a small ray of hope.
Andhra Pradesh, ranking as the fourth largest IT exporter of the country is being severely affected by
power supply shortage which is naturally slowing down the development of the state’s IT sector. It is
to be mentioned here that Andhra Pradesh accounts for 12% of the total IT export of India and the
turnover for 2012 was RS53, 246 crore. Hyderabad is in a little better position as it has been proactive
in changing its infrastructure to keep pace with the changing face of the global IT export scenario.
The Recession period, the free fall of rupees against dollar compounded with other factors has resulted
in a severe decline in the hiring process of the IT sector. The employment generation capacity of this
sector has shrunk considerably. IT professionals including ex- IT sector employees are now seeking
employment in financial services, telecommunications and manufacturing industries which have
recently witnessed a phenomenal growth.
Challenges faced by the IT sector in India
• The IT sector of India needs to discard its old model of service providing and operations. The old
model popularly known as the ADM (Application, Development and Maintenance) is obsolete. It is
imperative that the IT sector resorts to the new model of ‘outcome based billing’ and fixed contract
based services
• The maturity of the offshore models has created a demand among the customers for a close
proximity of the service providers which may even involve setting up of near shore stations for
support.
• There is a stiff competition from China, Philippines and Eastern Europe which are also proving to
be low cost and competitive countries. It is estimated that by 2020 they will be a 20% stakeholder in
the global IT export scenario.
• A shrinking talent pool in our country is also largely affecting the IT sector. The number of
employable graduates in the business sector is as low as 10% to 15% while that of qualified and
employable engineers is 26% only.
• IT giants like IBM and Accenture have now opened up their own centers in India with the same
target audience as that of the Indian IT Sector.
5 | P a g e
14. SUMMER INTERNSHIP REPORT KARTIK MEHTA [SYMMS-50]
• The proposed development of the tier 2 and 3 cities has not gone as planned so the entire IT sector
is stagnated in the 9 major cities.
• It is imperative that the IT sector of India should focus on the new emerging trends like Social
media, Mobility, Analytics and Cloud (SMAC)
• There is a need for a total revamping of the infrastructure of the IT sector which unfortunately is
pending due to fund unavailability. Fund shortage is also affecting the medium and small IT
enterprises which need a basic financial injection for their start-up.
Conclusion
Though 2013 has left the US$ 108 billion IT and ITES sector of India standing at the crossroads,
Software Services Industry Body NASSCOM is absolutely positive about the growth of India’s IT
sector. According to NASSCOM, “‘newer geographies’ are set to double their contribution to India
to 20% by 2020”. As per the estimation of NASSCOM purely domestic and export services of the
Indian IT sector is expected to generate US$ 225 billion by 2020. The landscape of the global IT and
ITES market is changing rapidly and it is totally up to the Indian IT sector now to adapt to this
changing landscape. After all India is still a major brand name in the global IT and ITES sector.

grows.

Benefits
Reduces stress of travelling (can make you productive at work)
Serves as a social/professional networking platform
It is FREE
Saves Fuel, Saves Environment and Money too!
How it works?
The user uses the app or the website for registration. In certain cases, to prevent spam the user’s
corporate ID will have to be registered.
During registration, the user updates his/her preferences for 10 destinations/frequent locations.
Based on these preferences, he/she is regularly notified when a carpool is bound towards/from
that specific location (The data is calculated via Google Maps API over a marker-radius of 1
km.)
Upon verification, a user profile will be created in the app server database which will have all
the information about the car-pooler, specifically, his vehicle type (for a driver), frequent
places, feedbacks and ratings. The user will be able to use the app. Some privacy settings can
be tuned to hide personal information if required.
When the user wants to start carpooling, he will either put in search the information using the
following parameters:-
19 | P a g e
1. The user (owner of the car/car-pooler) will put in the source from where he wants to
commute and the destination. If the route to the destination from the source is relevant
to the user who is viewing those updates, the user can join that ride/drive.
2. Estimated time of departure of the car-pooler.
3. The user will also enter the approximate time of arrival at the pick-up point.
4. The user who is joining that ride/drive can view the car-pooler’s current location via a
feature in the app. As soon as the car-pooler reaches the place of joining of the user, the
user will get an alert message to reach the pick-up point.
The above parameters will generate dynamic search results which will help the user, select a
carpool.
ShareWheels is associated with D-Fraud, an online fraud and forensic resource that lets the users know
about the frauds and trends around the world and FinS, a financial, information security and risk
advisory firm to make ShareWheels a better platform for the users to trust.

Generating Leads
In marketing, lead generation is the generation of consumer interest or inquiry into products or
services of a business. Leads can be created for purposes such as list building, e-newsletter list
acquisition or for sales leads.
Lead Generation
Capture qualified sales leads through high quality content and targeted:
Inbound marketing—blogging, guest blogging, blogger outreach, blog syndication, social
media updates, social media engagement, SEO on-page optimization, premium content
(eBooks, infographics, videos, webinars), calls-to-action, landing pages
Demand generation—paid search (ppc), social media ads, banner ads, native ads, email
marketing, direct mail, print ads, media ads, tradeshows, speaking engagements, personal
networking
21 | P a g e
30. SUMMER INTERNSHIP REPORT KARTIK MEHTA [SYMMS-50]
Lead Intelligence Gathering
Marketing works with Sales to establish key criteria for lead segmentation and scoring. Hopefully, you
have already created a comprehensive list of buyer personas and a detailed buyer journey for each
persona. If not, check out these resources. Now plan how you will capture this information through
landing pages and forms, using a progressive profiling approach so that conversion rates are kept high.
Identify relevant pages and events that, if visited or triggered, also allow you to update lead profiles
during the buyer journey. Access LinkedIn, Data.com, Hoovers and other business data sites you can
use to cross-reference leads and further develop their profiles. Some of these sources can be directly
integrated through HubSpot and Salesforce apps and APIs.
Lead Segmentation
Set up marketing automation workflows to categorize leads and segment them into lists using criteria
established in Step #1. Use these lists to nurture leads with relevant content and personalized email
communications. Also use them for targeted campaigns, segmenting leads with a certain role or title
or within a certain industry or market segment.
Lead Scoring
Set up lead scoring criteria and points-awarded system to update lead lifecycle stages, move leads to
the CRM when the timing is right and trigger notifications using marketing automation workflows.
Leads accumulate positive scores for behaviour and demographics. For example:
Persona—industry, title, role, company size, revenues
Engagement—number of visits, unique page views, repeat visits, form conversions, email
opens and clicks, blog comments, social media mentions, inbound links
Buyer stage—clicks and conversions on specific content indicating a lead lifecycle change,
such as mid-funnel and bottom-funnel offers
Velocity—frequency of engagement, volume and timing of events indicating an imminent
intent to buy
Also, apply negative scoring for form answers or behaviours that designate a lead as a poor fit, for
example: Competitor Company, low budget or non-company email address.
Lead Nurturing
Monitor and influence the progress of leads through the sales funnel by presenting them with relevant
content based on buyer persona and content mapping. Content can be sent via personalized drip email
campaigns or by direct integration using personalized content, for example website messaging that is
tailored for lead segments or buyer personas. Apply lead scoring rules as leads consume your lead
nurturing content and move them to different lifecycle stages and segments using marketing
automation workflows.
Transfer and Assign Leads to the Sales Team
Automatically move inbound leads over to your CRM using marketing automation workflows and
assign them to appropriate sales reps when they reach lead scoring thresholds and/or trigger specific
behaviours, such as requesting a free trial or demonstration.

Assisted in Developing Business Strategies and Marketing Plan
A marketing plan may be part of an overall business plan. Solid marketing strategy is the foundation
of a well-written marketing plan. While a marketing plan contains a list of actions, a marketing
plan without a sound strategic foundation is of little use.
Forming Business Strategies
Business (or Strategic) management is the art, science, and craft of formulating, implementing and
evaluating cross-functional decisions that will enable an organization to achieve its long-term
objectives. It is the process of specifying the organization's mission, vision and objectives, developing
policies and plans, often in terms of projects and programs, which are designed to achieve these
objectives, and then allocating resources to implement the policies and plans, projects and programs.
23 | P a g e
32. SUMMER INTERNSHIP REPORT KARTIK MEHTA [SYMMS-50]
Deciding on a marketing communications strategy is one of the primary roles of the marketing
manager and this process involves some key decisions about who the customer is, how to contact
them, and what the message should be. These questions can be answered using a three stage process,
which is equally relevant for all elements of the marketing mix:
Segmentation :
Dividing the marketing into distinct groups
Targeting :
Deciding which of these groups to communicate with, and how to talk to them
Positioning :
How the product or brand should be perceived by the target groups
Messaging :
Delivering a specific message in order to influence the target groups
Content creation
Content creation is the contribution of information to any media and most especially to digital media
for an end-user/audience in specific contexts. Content is "something that is to be expressed through
some medium, as speech, writing or any of various arts" for self-expression, distribution, marketing
and/or publication. Typical forms of content creation include maintaining and updating web sites,
blogging, photography, videography, online commentary, the maintenance of social media accounts,
and editing and distribution of digital media. A Pew survey described content creation as the creation
of "the material people contribute to the online world.

Competitive Markets for Web Design, Development and Testing
• It does depend on the client, many are willing to pay much less for a ‘newbie’ who has a ripped
copy of Photoshop and Dreamweaver and still uses tables and 'slice and dice' methods. This is
thanks to how simple it is to become a "web designer".
• The 'web design profession' has a wider problem, the lack of professionalism and standards.
The people who are more successful (in the small pond end of the market) aren't web designers
primarily, they are salesmen first and this is what is lacking from many decent designers skill
sets.
ON THE OTHER END:
• More designers in the work place is nothing but a healthy thing. It drives us all to make a better
product and surely that's what we’re all here to do?
• Imagine if AMD was never born - We'd probably all still be using Intel P2 333 MHz’s with
Intel saying "It's the greatest processor ever made". With more competition in the marketplace
everyone's looking for the next big thing. That's why services like Dig and Wordpress have
come along.
Web Design, Development and Testing At Synclature
• You can select from a range of web hosting packages. We are affiliated with BigRock.com.
We are able to provide up to 25% discounts on their original rates (which are quite competitive
themselves).
• In today's competitive age, the business houses and professionals should regularly update their
websites
• This gives them a competitive edge. At Synclature, we provide our clients with website support
services.

How Restaurants Are Using Technology to Deliver Better Customer Service
• So far, restaurants have been slow to take to technology, but a few chains are breaking new
ground. Here’s a look at some of the recent innovations:
• Mobile ordering. This is one area where fast-food chains are in the forefront.
• iPad order kiosks. Why wait in line if you can file your order at a kiosk immediately, and then
sit down and relax.
• Facebook ordering. This may be the biggest technology leap coming in the next year, as nearly
100 percent of restaurant owners say they plan to have a Facebook presence by next year.
Companies specializing in Facebook-payment integration for restaurants such as ChowNow
and NetWaiter are helping chains to get their ordering onto the popular platform.
• Table top e-waiter & checkout. Diners hate it when waiters take their credit card away and
run it up at the register — it’s a common point for credit-card fraud. Hand them a restaurant
iPad they can self-checkout on where their card doesn’t leave their sight, and they’re happy.
That often-endless wait for the card and bill to return doesn’t win fans, either.
• Digital menu boards + smartphones. Watch for fast-food restaurants to change menus more
often, because digital menu boards make it so much easier than manually changing prices and
items.
• Games while-u-wait. Gaming industry sources report McDonald’s is projecting gesture-enabled
games onto restaurant floors for kids to play while they wait for Happy Meals, in 150 of the
chain’s higher-profile locations. Now that’ll keep kids busy — and we all know happy kids
mean happy parents who come back to your restaurant.

Competitive Analysis!
• Carpooling seems to be in. And Now we have a website which is dedicated completely to
nothing else but carpooling. Koolpool.co.in which is currently inviting 25000 registrations who
would be given a free trial for 3 months.
• This free trial includes 10,000 free rides on a 1st come 1st use basis. This trial has been
sponsored by India times, Hindustan Petroleum and Radio City.
• Koolpool is an SMS-based carpool service which is being tested in Mumbai. The service is to
be formally launched in the first week of September 2006. Initially, it will be open only to
corporate executives. According to Alootechie, Mumbai Environmental Social Network, which
is managing the Koolpool service, says there are about 1.5 million empty travel seats in
Mumbai where over 70 per cent of cars have only one passenger. Now that’s a huge number!
Carpooling gets a push from technology start-ups
• PUNE: Technology start-ups are leading a revival of carpooling led by demand for safer and
simpler ways to travel within grid-locked Indian cities. These companies are using a
combination of mobile applications, secure messaging and tracking technology that is
proving to be attractive for harried urban commuters.
• In the past year at least half a dozen start-ups have come up that link car owners travelling to
similar destinations in technology hubs such as Bangalore, Pune and Hyderabad, with
services offered mostly through their employers.

"Organising carpooling services for large companies has helped boost our user base,' said Vipul
Kasera, 30, founder of CommuteEasy, a Bangalore-based company that has about 35,000 users from
companies, including Mindtree, Dr Reddy's and Tosco, that pay an annual subscription fee for the
service.
Kasera, who first launched the idea in 2006, said positioning of CommuteEasy as a corporate service
has helped gain user acceptance. More entrepreneurs are seeing this as a growing business segment.
Bangalore with a population of about 9 million has an estimated 9.3 lakh cars on its roads.
"We believe this offers a potential to have about 30,000 cars pooling rides every working day," said
Raghu Ramanujam, 43, founder of PoolCircle, who is in talks with 11 companies to offer his services.
The company aims to have 2.5 lakh users by the end of next year by spreading services across Chennai,
Hyderabad, Mumbai, NCR, Pune and Ahmedabad. Companies who opt for carpooling service can
choose from various subscription models ranging from Rs 40,000 to Rs 10 lakh annually.
• Experts said positioning these services as a corporate service rather than as a direct-to-consumer
28 | P a g e
offering has helped these start-ups gain a larger number of users.
• "With every city struggling with infrastructure issues, people are moving away from the
concept of owning an asset to renting and sharing it with others," said Rajesh Sawhney, founder
of GSF Accelerator, an early stage investment firm. Sawhney, who has invested in carpooling
start-up RidingO, said government support by way incentives for carpooling, dedicated lanes
and higher taxes for single-use cars will help grow this segment faster.
• RidingO, set up in 2012 has already built up a user base of 2,500 and is in talks with oil
companies to get them to redeem points, earned by drivers who carpool, for fuel said its founder
Vardhan Koshal, 30.
• The year-old company aims to register at least 500 registered daily users for its service from a
single suburb in Bangalore.
• Pool Circle, which was started in July 2013, is testing mobile apps for both Apple and Android
phones.

The real value of IT is its deep understanding of the business and enabling business partners by
providing them with cost effective technology solutions that can be delivered quickly and adjusted
frequently. Building and managing commodity technologies adds time and costs to each project and
ties up precious IT resources on tasks that add little to no value to the business. No wonder IT is often
considered a cost center! My advice is to take a step back and build a business architecture diagram
that lays out the core business services that your company offers. Then draw up a reference architecture
that depicts all of the different IT services that are required to support those business services. Then,
identify which of those IT services are core to your business and build those. Everything else should
be outsourced to managed service providers or to various external services and products.

Without marketing, no one will know our business exists, and if customers don't know we're there, we
won't make any sales.
When our marketing efforts are working, however, and customers are streaming through the door, an
effective customer service policy will keep them coming back for more. So now it's time to create the
plans that will draw customers to our business again and again.
A marketing plan consists of the strategies and devices we're going to use to communicate to our target
audience. A customer service plan focuses on our customer's requirements and the ways of filling those
requirements.
Descriptions of our market and its segments, the competition and prospective customers should be in

Based on this information, we can begin choosing the communication channels to use to get the word
out about our business: social media, blogs, email newsletters, Web banners, pay-per-click ads, radio,
TV, billboards, direct mail, fliers, print ads and other venues. Then prioritize our tactics and begin with
the ones that our research has shown to be the most effective for our audience.
It's helpful to create a profile of the end user of our product or service. Now's the time for telling
everyone we know about it. Ask for referrals from colleagues, suppliers, former employers and other
associates. We can improve the quality of our referrals by being specific in our request.
Consider offering free consultations or an introductory price to first-time buyers. Consider joining
forces with a complementary business to get them to help we spread the word about our new venture.
Most people think that “marketing” just means advertising, PR or promotion. But marketing and a

market.
We as a part of Synclature, need to keep in mind the following important aspects:

particulars of our business offering – in marketing parlance, we’ll be defining what
are known as the “four Ps” for our business:
Product – description of our product or service (DMOS,CARPOOL etc..), including
features and benefits
Price – initial pricing strategy
Place – distribution channel for our product or service, i.e. where we’ll sell

Strengths
We can consider an internal strong points about our business of Synclature (or for particular products
like DMOS and CARPOOL) – they primarily include our core skills, competencies and expertise.
They will reflect the capabilities of our business and provide a good foundation for our planning
strategy
We are able to respond very quickly as we have no red tape, and no need for higher management
approval.
We are able to give really good customer care, as the current small amount of work means we
have plenty of time to devote to customers.
Our lead consultant has strong reputation in the market.
We can change direction quickly if we find that our marketing is not working.
We have low overheads, so we can offer good value to customers.
Weaknesses
Internal factors that are lacking in Synclature’s Products and Services. Weaknesses need to be
comprehensively assessed in order to correct them or strategically turn them into positive strengths
Our company has little market presence or reputation.
We have a small staff, with a shallow skills base in many areas.
We are vulnerable to vital staff being sick, and leaving.
Our cash flow will be unreliable in the early stages.
Opportunities
The likely benefits to/from our business resulting from changes in the external environment.
Our business sector is expanding, with many future opportunities for success.
Local government wants to encourage local businesses.
Our competitors may be slow to adopt new technologies.
Threats
We as a small sized company should take the possible pitfalls or dangers resulting from changes in the
external environment. These are likely to have an adverse or detrimental effect to the business of
Synclature
43 | P a g e
52. SUMMER INTERNSHIP REPORT KARTIK MEHTA [SYMMS-50]
Developments in technology may change this market beyond our ability to adapt.
A small change in the focus of a large competitor might wipe out any market position we
achieve.
As a result of this analysis we, Synclature as a whole, may decide to specialize in rapid response,
good value services to local businesses and local government.
Marketing would be in selected local publications to get the greatest possible market presence
for a set advertising budget, and the consultancy should keep up-to-date with changes in
technology where possible.

In simplistic terms, digital marketing is the promotion of products or brands via one or more forms of
electronic media. Digital marketing differs from traditional marketing in that it involves the use of
channels and methods that enable an organization to analyse marketing campaigns and understand
what is working and what isn’t – typically in real time.
Digital marketers monitor things like what is being viewed, how often and for how long, sales
conversions, what content works and doesn’t work, etc. While the Internet is, perhaps, the channel
most closely associated with digital marketing, others include wireless text messaging, mobile instant
messaging, mobile apps, podcasts, electronic billboards, digital television and radio channels, etc.

Why Digital Marketing Is Important
Digital media is so pervasive that consumers have access to information any time and any place they
want it. Gone are the days when the messages people got about your products or services came from
you and consisted of only what you wanted them to know. Digital media is an ever-growing source
of entertainment, news, shopping and social interaction, and consumers are now exposed not just to
what your company says about your brand, but what the media, friends, relatives, peers, etc., are
saying as well. And they are more likely to believe them than you. People want brands they can trust,
companies that know them, communications that are personalized and relevant, and offers tailored to
their needs and preferences.
