WhatsApp on Wednesday announced two <keyword id="1252517" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="new-features">new features</keyword> to make it easier for people to know what's <keyword id="135945" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="available">available</keyword> and for entrepreneurs to quickly sell their <keyword id="19705" type="ORGANIZATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Products">products</keyword> on <keyword id="4270566" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="whatsapp-for-business">WhatsApp for Business</keyword>. The company said that it is now providing businesses the ability to create and manage their catalog from WhatsApp web/desktop rather than just mobile phones. "Since many businesses manage their inventory from a computer, this <keyword id="6971737" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="new-option">new option</keyword> will make it quick and easy to add new items or services so their customers know what's available,' WhatsApp said in a statement. This will be helpful for businesses with big inventories like a restaurant or clothing store so they can manage their catalog from a bigger screen. Currently, people can browse more than 8 million <keyword id="6355515" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="business">business</keyword> catalogs on WhatsApp, including 1 million in India, to find something they might like to buy. The company introduced carts on WhatsApp during the holiday shopping season last year so people could browse a catalog, select multiple products and send the order as one message to the business. Now, it is giving them the option to "hide" specific items from their catalog and easily show them again when they're back in stock or available to customers. "This feature is beginning to roll out to businesses around the world starting today," the company said. According to a recent survey, 76 per cent of adults in India said "I am more likely to do business with/purchase from a company that I can contact via messaging than one that I cannot."

Now, when I say ‘you’, it’s not personal. I mean <keyword id="60468" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="consumers" source="Orion">consumers</keyword> as a whole. So, chill. However, if you have decided to delay buying a two-wheeler or cut back your spending on groceries, then you may be one of the many people forcing the hand of Finance Minister <keyword id="129243" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="nirmala-sitharaman" source="Orion">Nirmala Sitharaman</keyword> to write that extra tax break into her budget speech. Good job! <div type="image" title="Good job!" msid="89142739" hostid="261"></div> Last year, the Finance Minister said the government is <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/budget/news/the-indian-government-has-spent-less-than-half-the-money-it-had-budgeted-for-capital-investments-so-far/articleshow/88852518.cms">gonna spend big bucks </a>on building roads, bridges and tunnels, which would create a lot of jobs, give people the money they need to spend, which will turn into profits for <keyword id="808508" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="corporations" source="Orion">corporations</keyword> and result in more taxes for the government. However, as it stands now, corporate profits are growing much faster than jobs or people’s purchasing power. <div type="image" title="Budget 2022 Expectations" msid="89142748" hostid="261"></div> Now, the government typically denies the unemployment problem. So, let’s assume it is not there and that enough people have jobs, well-paying ones. Ideally, this should be visible in the sales of everyday items like soaps and shampoos or, for example, in the rising sales of two-wheelers and cars. That’s not the case. Two-wheeler sales, which is seen as a measure for how well off rural India is, are <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/bajaj-auto-bajaj-auto-stock-bajaj-auto-profit-two-wheeler-makers-two-wheeler-sales/articleshow/89017250.cms">abysmally low</a>. The total number of two-wheelers sold in the last nine months is less than what it was ten years ago. <div type="image" title="Two-wheeler Sales Have Declined From Apr-Dec 2021" msid="89142781" hostid="261"></div> The country’s largest consumer products maker, Hindustan Unilever, which sells Horlicks, Rin and Kwality Walls, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/retail/news/hul-increased-price-of-wheel-detergent-rim-bar-lux-surf-excel-many-times-in-last-three-months/articleshow/89037315.cms">has sold just about 2 more units of its products in the last three months</a>, for every 100 sold the same time last year. That’s not exciting growth by any measure. <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/retail/news/dmarts-near-normal-performance-in-q3-fails-to-impress-analysts/articleshow/88837288.cms">DMart</a>, India’s second biggest retail chain, is still making 8% less revenue per square foot than what it did before the pandemic, according to a recent report by Axis Securities. If the big corporations are not able to crack the consumer wallets, it’s safe to say the smaller ones are no better off. Now, why is the Indian consumer pinching pennies? This online poll gives us some indication. <div type="image" title="COVID Impact On Budget" msid="89142830" hostid="261"></div> <div type="image" title="Monthly Household Expenses Poll" msid="89142865" hostid="261"></div> The biggest problem is inflation.

And as we warned you more than<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/newsletter-10-december-2021/binewsletter/88194636.cms"> a month ago</a>, it’s gonna get worse before it gets better. <div type="image" title="Inflation Has Been Rising" msid="89142894" hostid="261"></div> When you, the consumer, cuts back on your spending, it hurts the companies. And that, in turn, hurts the government by reducing the growth in tax revenue. And if things remain unaffordable for long enough, it gets tougher to win elections.

<ul><li>Supply chain analytics has become a top focus area for <keyword id="6355515" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="business" source="Orion">business</keyword> leaders to effectively forecast future demand. </li></ul><ul><li>Healthcare providers leverage <keyword id="771372" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="data-analytics" source="Orion">data analytics</keyword> to predict disease outcomes and treatment plans. </li></ul><ul><li><keyword id="6355729" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="data" source="Orion">Data</keyword> science and analytics provide major tailwinds for the global efforts to address climate change issues.</li></ul>Data might be the most valuable business asset, but it is also perhaps the most underexplored. Every year, new use cases for data analytics are emerging, transforming the way businesses leverage data to their advantage. Worldwide spending on big data and business analytics solutions touched a whopping $215.7 billion last year, according to IDC research. Across sectors, data analytics programs focus largely on improving customer experience, product optimisation, risk management and so on. Here are a few disruptive use cases of data analytics that organisations are actively exploring to get the most out of their data. Supply-chain transformation The global pandemic revealed some glaring supply-chain inefficiencies that impacted businesses around the world. A Mckinsey study says that before the Omicron variant emerged, supply-chain challenges briefly replaced the pandemic as the top risk. The silver lining to all this – supply-chain conversations have gained prominence, becoming a board room priority for businesses of all nature. Modernisation and digitization of supply chains were identified as immediate concerns. Optimising supply chains with analytics and AI is an inevitable step in this transition to achieving better efficiencies and productivity. With data analytics, businesses can have dynamic logistic systems and real-time delivery controls. Supply-chain analytics has become a top focus area for business leaders to effectively forecast future demand, identify inefficiencies and boost innovation. Predictive analytics help organisations build agile supply- chain practices that help them to be in control. Advanced analytics (AA), artificial intelligence (AI) and data science are predicted to further <keyword id="1230007" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="revolutionise" source="Orion">revolutionise</keyword> this segment in the future. Responsive healthcare For any healthcare provider, the transition to data-driven processes and systems is not a choice but a necessity in the post-pandemic world. Healthcare providers have always been producing large volumes of data. In fact, over 30 percent of the world’s data volume is generated by the healthcare sector. However, COVID-19 has brought data into sharp focus. Disease prevention has come up as one of the most important use cases of data analytics in recent times. Data, models, and analytics serve as critical decision making tools to effectively improve outbreak response to COVID-19. Infectious disease modelling and analytics have become priorities for governments and healthcare providers across the globe. Healthcare providers are leveraging data analytics to predict disease outcomes, treatment plans, benefits of drugs and patient load etc. to be more responsive and agile. Real-time analytics in retail Retail players are building on the ability to process data as soon as it is generated, which allows them to quickly identify customer needs and offer hyper-personalised experiences. Retailers today must offer connected and customised buying experiences to consumers across their physical and digital touchpoints. As the usage of internet of things (IoT) becomes widespread in retail outlets, brands are increasingly relying on real-time, in-store analytics to capture upsell and cross-sell opportunities. Real-time customer analytics help retailers to adopt dynamic staffing and reduce queue times. In e-commerce, real-time analytics help players to monitor conversion rating and address customer fraud more effectively. Correlation analysis is critical for reducing the time to detection (TTD) and time to remediation (TTR) for e-commerce players. Weathering climate change Data science and analytics have been providing tailwinds for the global efforts to address climate change issues. For example, research from Arizona State University explores how data analytics can predict global warming trends, heat waves and other extreme weather events. The ability to predict allows researchers and scientists to understand how certain actions can worsen or prevent weather changes. Data analytics also empowers organisations to be more resilient to climate change impacts while helping them explore renewable sources. Many organisations leverage data analytics to reduce their carbon footprint by drawing data from their sensors/ IoT devices. It also helps entities to monitor the waste produced and energy consumed, and to develop insights on how they can become more environmentally responsible.

However, the fate of the two IPOs may be different, if the grey market premium is considered to be an indicator. Grey Market is an unofficial market where individuals buy/sell IPO shares or applications before they are officially launched for trading on the stock exchanges. The IPO of companies was open to subscribe from September 1 to September 3. Ami Organics IPO may see a strong listing gains tomorrow The speciality chemical company is indicating a strong premium of ₹156 in the grey market ahead of its listing, also reflecting its robust subscription numbers. The IPO received bids for 42.22 crore as against the IPO size of 65.36 lakh shares on the last day of bidding. In the last few months, another specialty chemical company Clean Science and Technology and Tatva Chintan Pharma Chem made a strong listing on the exchanges. “We suggest short-term investors to book profit on listing day if they receive the allotment,” said Yash Gupta, equity research analyst at Angel Broking as he believes valuation is expensive. Ami Organics is all set to open around ₹570 crore initial public offering (IPO) for investors, indicating a premium of ₹156 a share in the grey market . With the IPO proceeds, the Gujarat-based specialty chemicals company will pay off its debt worth ₹140 crore and become debt free, Naresh Patel, chief managing director of Ami Organics, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/ami-organics-wants-to-become-debt-free-post-the-ipo/articleshow/85781458.cms">said in an interview with Business Insider</a>. [hyperlink] Vijay Diagnostic Centre IPO might open weak on exchanges The chain of medical testing, Vijaya Diagnostic is trading at a discount in the grey market. Shares were available at a discount of around ₹12 a piece, to the issue price of ₹522, in the grey market. Analysts believe Vijaya's tepid subscription, higher valuation and price band may go against the public issue. “We are not expecting any big listing gain from <keyword id="11952026" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="vijaya-diagnostic-centre-ipo" source="Orion">Vijaya Diagnostic Centre IPO</keyword> as we believe that all the short term positives have been priced in the IPO price i.e ₹531,'' said Gupta from Angel Broking. The IPO received bids for 11.36 crore shares against the 2.50 crore shares on offer. However, analysts at Ventura Capital recommend subscribing to the IPO for long-term investing with a price objective of ₹672, representing an upside of 27% over the next 24 months attributing the company’s strong cash balance for future growth. The firm has ₹250 crore cash on its books, Sunil Chandra Kondapally, executive director at Vijaya Diagnostic, <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/stock-market/news/ipo-bound-vijaya-diagnostics-is-planning-more-acquisitions-in-east-india/articleshow/85755911.cms">told Business Insider</a>.

The process will cost $2.1 billion to buy out at least 90% of the shareholders at the current price. <div type="image" title="vedanta stock chart" msid="75818634" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;The value per share of Vedanta&amp;#8217;s stake in Hindustan Zinc Ltd itself is &amp;#8377;137 apiece. The book value of Vedanta as on Sept 30, 2019 was &amp;#8377;178, according to HDFC Securities.&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> The promoter group currently owns 50.14% stake in Vedanta while the rest is held by institutional investors and minority shareholders. The promoter group has made an offer to acquire all the balance shareholding, at least 90% of all shares, for the voluntary delisting of the company from stock exchanges. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="75818116" title="Billionaires Azim Premji and Kiran Mazumdar Shaw argue against the labour ‘reforms’ in Indian states⁠— and they are not alone" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Is this a fair price? The value per share of Vedanta’s stake in Hindustan Zinc Ltd itself is ₹137 apiece. The book value of Vedanta as on Sept 30, 2019 was ₹178, according to a note from HDFC Securities to its clients. Therefore, the delisting price has to be a lot higher than the one decided by the Board of Vedanta. "The announcement of delisting comes at cyclical lows and we believe at a significant discount to the fair value, especially when oil, zinc, aluminum, lead all have taken a beating due to the pandemic and greenshoots of recovery have started emerging in China," broking firm Emkay said in a report dated May 13. <table style="width: 343pt;"> </colgroup> <tbody><tr> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;width:182pt">Brokerage</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none; width: 161pt;">Target price for Vedanta</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl65" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Motilal Oswal</td> <td class="xl66" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;"> ₹85</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl65" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">Emkay</td> <td class="xl66" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;"> ₹112</td> </tr></tbody></table> What are the next steps? Now, the minority shareholders ⁠— there should be twice the number of smaller investors in favour of the delisting at the given price ⁠— have to approve this resolution through postal ballot. Agarwal, whose net worth is about $3.1 billion according to Forbes, will also need clearance from the regulators in India and the US as well as its creditors and stock exchanges. It will then set a final floor price and initiate a reverse book building process. What are the options for Vedanta's shareholders? For those who are not happy with the price offered by the promoters of Vedanta, not participating in the buyback is an option. "In case the delisting happens at a higher price, they still have the chance to offer the shares in six months post the actual delisting at the same price. In case the delisting fails, the shareholder does not lose anything; the shares are in the demat account and he has the chance to sell them in the market when the buyback offer is close to ending at a much higher price that the indicative offer price," HDFC Securities said. Voluntarily delisting cannot happen if minority shareholders do not sell their share. Who has enough muscle to protest? Big investors like mutual funds, foreign institutions, and the state-owned giant Life Insurance Corporation of India have enough stake to force a bargain. <div type="image" title="vedanta shareholding" msid="75809933" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Vedanta promoters need to buy back at least 90% of all the shares in the market. &amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> "These institutions will expectedly play a role in ensuring that the delisting happens at a fair price which is much above the indicative delisting price of ₹87.50," the report added. <table style="width: 343pt;"> </colgroup> <tbody><tr> <td class="xl65" style="height:15.0pt;width:182pt">Mutual Fund</td> <td class="xl65" style="border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none; width: 161pt;">Stake in Vedanta</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl66" style="height: 26.25pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; width: 182pt;">ICICI PRUDENTIAL EQUITY ARBITRAGE FUND</td> <td class="xl67" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">5.03%</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl66" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; width: 182pt;">HDFC INFRASTRUCTURE FUND</td> <td class="xl67" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">2.47%</td> </tr> <tr> <td class="xl65" style="height: 15pt; border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none;">SBI ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITIES FUND </td> <td class="xl67" style="border-top-width: initial; border-top-style: none; border-left-width: initial; border-left-style: none;">1.12%</td> </tr></tbody></table>*Source: BSE What makes Vedanta more attractive is the recent reforms announced by the government, though the benefits will flow in over the long term. Some of the major highlights include: <ul><li>A seamless, comprehensive exploration-mining-production policy will be introduced for non-coal minerals like iron ore, bauxite etc. </li><li>The distinction between captive and non-captive mines and that will help transfer mining leases and the sale of unused minerals. Companies will be allowed to transfer the mining lease. </li><li>The Ministry of Mines is in the process of mineral index. Stamp duties will be rationalised at the time of auction. </li></ul> These policy changes may push investors to expect the shares to be more valuable in the long term and seek better price from Anil Agarwal.
