DEMONETIZATION: THE NEED OF MORE ATMS

download.jpg
Ever since the announcement of Demonetization the use of ATM machines has increased in India and now people are also facing the problem of shortage of ATM machines in India. Well, India is a large country but still it has around 2 lakh ATM machines only, which is very less whereas America has more than 4 lakh who’s population is around 30 Crore and India have four times more population than of America so it should have more than 10 lakh ATM machines at least.

According to a recent survey done by RBI, one out three ATM in India don’t work which make the situation worse along with Demonetization effect. A report of 2012 suggest that around 59% ATMs are controlled by SBI and around 95% of them work well a new report suggest, which is a good news if you are a State Bank customer but why other banks are not opening ATMs well there a financial logic behind this, A 2014 report suggest that a bank has to spend around Rs50,000 ($741) every month on ATM which is quite high and difficult to recover as ATM charges are very less in India.

Indian Government in recent years has done everything to increase the number of ATMs in India, most ATMs installed in last decade which is good news but still a lot more ATMs are required. Banks are focusing on big cities but the real problem is in villages, yesterday a person was telling on TV that there is only one ATM for hundred villages in their region which is a very bad news and it shows that India is hiding its failure of growth behind the development of Big cities which technically is the result of private industry and people’s hard work not the result of Government efforts. The government must ensure at least one ATM in every Village only after that the dream of Digital India will become true.

RELIANCE JIO EFFECT ON TELECOM INDUSTRY

Image
Ever since the launch of Jio services on 5 th  of September in India, the telecom industry has changed a lot. Recent offers like Free calls and cheaper Internet packs by the contemporary companies is just the beginning and in India, this trend gonna stay forever as Reliance has promised that their Voice call and Roaming services are gonna remain free for lifetime. The effect of Jio’s entry into telecom business is very positive for Customers but it’s really bad for the other companies because they are losing customers. If we go with the facts then more than 1000 new Customers are adopting Jio every minute or 6 lakh every day. Jio has already reached 50 million customer mark in 83 days which is a record in itself even companies like Facebook and What’s app are far behind from Jio in this record. It takes 12 years to Airtel and 13 years to Idea and Vodafone to reach 50 million Customers mark which Jio has crossed in 83 days only. Well the strategy of Jio is pretty simple to f

2016: A YEAR OF SPORTS FILMS

Image
First of all Sultan (300 Crore) than MS Dhoni (133 Crore) and recently Dangal which is still running in the theaters and already become the 2 nd  highest grosser of the year, this year is surely all about Sports Drama films. Other films which are also Sports oriented were Azhar, Freaky Ali, Do Lafzon Ki Kahani but these films didn’t do well at the box office. 2017 also gonna saw some most awaited sports films like Sachin: A Billion Dreams. If we look at this year business wise then it’s a very bad year and demonetization at the end make it even worse. Only eight films manage to mint profit for its makers that why I consider to look at this year Content wise, Films like Udta Punjab, Pink, Dear Zindagi, Neerja, Dangal, and Airlift are the examples. Even performances of the actors like Amitabh, Alia, Shahid, Vidya, Aamir, Fawad, and SRK were more valuable then-then few more Crore. Let’s hope for a better 2017 for Bollywood business but this year is surely very good for the Hol

BANNING CHINESE PRODUCTS?

Image
Throughout the country a protest against Chinese products is happening, Common people are avoiding the purchase of Chinese products, a social campaign is happening on Social media requesting people to boycott Chinese products, So what’s it mean? There are many questions, Let’s go through them one by one. Who call this boycott and why? This Boycott is called by some random Social media activists, also supported by various politicians and celebrities against China after it blocked India’s attempt to designate Pakistan-based Jaish-e-Mohammed leader Masood Azhar a terrorist at the UN. Is it going to work? Well the answer is no, most of the Chinese products are unavoidable like Cell phones and electronic products, This boycott is only going to effect very less Chinese companies which sell their products without any return policy (decorative items, fireworks etc) so at the end it’s only the Indian retailer who is going to get affected because they had already bought
