DAILY NEWS LETTER Date: 06.08.2019 DAILY NEWS LETTER Date: 06 .08.2019 Nifty Short Term Trend The Nifty50 succumbed to heavy selling pressure and closed below 10,900 level on August 5, dragged down by Chinese yuan’s steep depreciation against US dollar and home minister Amit Shah’s announcement of doing away with Article 370 that accords special status to Jammu and Kashmir. A steep fall of 110 paise in the rupee to 70.70 against the US dollar also dented sentiment. The index closed 135 points down and formed a hammer pattern on daily charts, where buying interest was seen at lower levels but supply pressure is intact at higher zones. After opening sharply lower at 10,895.80, which was also an intraday high, the Nifty50 extended losses and hit a day's low of 10,782.60. The index showed some recovery of 80 points in afternoon from the day's low and closed 134.80 points lower at 10,862.60. The market appears to have succumbed to external pressures emanating from both local as well as global factors. For today, Nifty has to hold above 10850 to gain further momentum till 10,910-10,965 while on the downside immediate supports can be seen near 10,800 and 10,750. The Bank Nifty failed to hold 28,000-level and drifted sharply towards 27,400 zone in the opening hours. It remained under pressure but marginal buying interest was seen at lower levels. The Bank Nifty continued its formation of lower highs-lower lows on the daily scale from past five trading sessions. Now till Bank Nifty holds below 28,000 level, it could extend its weakness towards 27,250 then 27,000 zones, while on the upside hurdle is seen at 27,900 then 28,250 levels.

    IOSR Journal of Business and Management (IOSR-JBM) e-ISSN: 2278-487X, p-ISSN: 2319-7668. Volume 17, Issue 12 .Ver. 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.

  • Exploring the Payments Landscape in Asia the Essential Guide for E-Commerce Businesses
    EXPLORING THE PAYMENTS LANDSCAPE IN ASIA THE ESSENTIAL GUIDE FOR E-COMMERCE BUSINESSES Looking to expand to Asia? Here is everything you need to know about e-commerce in India, Vietnam and Indonesia Exploring Payments Landscape in Asia 1 CONTENTS Introduction ................................................ 3 India ........................................................... 4 Vietnam ...................................................... 8 Indonesia .................................................. 11 Payment solutions .................................... 14 Exploring Payments Landscape in Asia 2 INTRODUCTION The evolution of e-commerce has revolutionised business forever. Now, just about anyone can set up a business, tapping into a potential audience of billions of people from just about anywhere in the world. But as online businesses multiply, so too do the challenges presented by providing customers with familiar payment solutions. This is perhaps most evident when businesses scale into emerging ‘unbanked’ economies with complex regulations and a dizzying number of payment options. BI Intelligence forecasts significant growth in mobile payments made at the POS. They expect mobile POS payments to increase at a 40% five-year compound annual growth rate (CAGR) to hit $128 billion in 2021 from $24 billion in 2016. P2P payments and mobile banking apps were cited as catalysts for moving in a cashless direction. Digital imaging is being deployed at scale to make new payment options such as mobile wallets secure. The need to understand the current fragmented landscape is clear for businesses eyeing opportunities in Asia. But perhaps as pertinent is the importance of understanding the political and commercial drivers that have set in train this progressive change. In understanding more about the history, e-commerce businesses can find clues about what’s around the corner, giving them the all- important upper hand – or at least putting them on a level playing field with the domestic competition.

E-Commerce can be and has been leveraged to support development. For one, it has made interactions between consumers and businesses much easier. E-commerce has opened up new opportunities for businesses in developing countries, especially micro, small and medium enterprises (MSMEs), by reducing the cost of doing business, and allowing them to reach a wider market. The consumer experience, whether in the areas of media and entertainment, air travel and tourism, and even taxi rides, has changed over the past few years, thanks to e-commerce. Between businesses, the digital interface allows for more efficient operations and supply chains. The data generated also allows for optimisation and innovation in their business models. All this presents a big well of untapped potential, which could boost economic growth and development in developing countries. 1.2. E-commerce is the new reality for businesses today, including in developing countries. Business to consumer e-commerce is rapidly expanding, particularly in Asia, Latin America, Africa and the Middle-East. For example, in Cambodia, Sabay.com, an online gaming company introduced Sabay Coins (which can be purchased at internet cafes) as a way for its customers to spend online.
