I (Dec. 2015), PP 17-21 www.iosrjournals.org The Indian e-Commerce Euphoria- A bubble about to burst? 1Priya Chaudhary, 2Ritika Sharma 1,2M.com (Dept. of commerce),DU M.com (Dept. of commerce),DU Abstract: The Indian e-commerce is making news every day- from festive season sales, deep discounts to another round of VC funding. The sector is gaining momentum more than ever. Even the government is supportive of the increased pace of startups. Prime Minister NarendraModi announced a new campaign "Start- up India, Stand up India" to promote bank financing for start-ups and offer incentives to boost entrepreneurship and job creation. The big techies of the world such as Google, Microsoft, Facebook, and Qualcomm have offered support to India in its transformation into a digitally empowered society, knowledge economy & a very high penetration of internet. This paper deals with the pattern of VC funding in Indian e-commerce sphere& brings to light the problems in operational areas in e-commerce companies. The mad rush in VC funding, mounting losses & increased valuations of e commerce giants raises possibilities of an e-commerce bubble in India, similar to the dot-com bubble abroad. Keywords:e-commerce bubble, Venture capitalists, Startups, Entrepreneurship I. Introduction Indian internet user base is about 354 million people as of June, 2015, with about 6 million people being added to the user base every month. The vast potential in the online purchasing market can be gauged from the fact that it went up to $12.6 billion in 2013 from $3.8 billion in 2009.

  • The Data Science Revolution
    Large Color Bar - Portrait (w/Bleed) This version will be placed on the cover of pieces that contain imagery such as Brochures and White Papers. MICHAEL RECCE Chief Data Scientist The Data Science Revolution How the new richness and accessibility of data, and advances in data science, are enhancing both quantitative and traditional fundamental investment research—and sparking a revolution in active management. So-called “big data”—the residue of information that we all leave behind as we buy things, sell things, browse Main Street and the internet, use our smartphones and generally live our modern lives—is proliferating. At the same time, advances in cloud computing, machine learning and artificial intelligence allow us to extract coherent, strategic insights from these digital residues. Combined, as data science, they have the potential to be a richly enhanced source of information about our world—information that is deeper and more detailed than we have ever had before, and yet also broader and more comprehensive. The Data Science Revolution is upon us. Harnessing its potential is the next big challenge for the active asset management industry. Five Things We Believe 1 Big data can be useful; data science can make it powerful 2 Data science makes our picture of the world both more detailed and more comprehensive 3 Data science brings extra breadth to fundamental research and extra depth to quantitative methodologies 4 Data science enhances the existing information flow between fundamental and quantitative research teams 5 A centralized research platform, feeding into both fundamental and quantitative strategies, can get the most out of a data science capability Spreading from its origins in technology and retail, data science is now making waves in the information- and research-driven world of finance and investment.

  • Privacy Protected, Except from Sta Who's Afraid of Walmart Ected, Except from State of Walmart-Flipkart?
    www.afeias.com 1 IMPORTANT NEWSCLIPPINGS (28-July-18) Date: 28-07-18 Privacy Protected, Except From State ET Editorials All concepts of privacy and data protection are circumscribed by the sociological tensions inherent in the relationship between an individual and the society in which she lives. Total protection of privacy could, for example, block investigation of acts by an individual that cause harm to others. Thus, privacy is inherently limited by the requirements of public interest. What constitutes the public interest in every possible situation is impossible to define in the law. Therefore, laws must provide some leeway for discretion by statutory authorities in determining the public interest and the degree of intrusion into personal privacy that is warranted. Only a robust system of governance in which transparency and accountability accompany all actions of the state can protect the citizen from harm by the state. The principal shortcoming of the Justice Srikrishna Committee report on data protection is that it does not detail a legal framework for regulating state infringement of privacy. It calls for a separate law to regulate intelligence agencies and their working. Arms of the state apart from intelligence agencies are potential transgressors of privacy. The committee’s recommendations on departures from fiduciary responsibility by arms of the state in holding or processing data are weak and need to be strengthened. Its recommendations on amending the Aadhaar law bear a similar flaw. The stress on making data available for training artificial intelligence algorithms is welcome, as is the recommendation for local storage and processing of all data while not prohibiting copies of purely non-critical data to be transmitted abroad on broadly standardised terms.
