A new <keyword id="21763866" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="psychological-study" source="keywords">psychological study</keyword> has found that spending money on experiences rather than material goods can foster feelings of <keyword id="19926958" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="social-connection" source="keywords">social connection</keyword>, ultimately improving one’s health and happiness. This research, conducted by <keyword id="19908054" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amit-Kumar" source="keywords">Amit Kumar</keyword>, assistant professor of marketing and psychology at Texas McCombs, builds on his previous findings. Kumar's earlier work demonstrated that spending on activities like concerts, dining out, or travelling is far more satisfying than buying material items such as cars or clothes. This time, he and his co-researchers focused on how <keyword id="21763865" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="experiential-purchases" source="keywords">experiential purchases</keyword> influence social connections. “What this work suggests is that we might actually be able to build social capital from what we buy. That, in turn, could lead to more health and happiness,” Kumar explained. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Experiential purchases and their ability to boost connections" comment="subhead" text="Experiential purchases and their ability to boost connections">Experiential purchases and their ability to boost connections</cmsannotation> In collaboration with psychologists Thomas Mann of Harvard University and Thomas Gilovich of Cornell University, Kumar conducted seven varied experiments. After surveying over 1,400 participants about their feelings of social connection after making experiential versus material purchases, they found that experiential purchases were significantly better at boosting feelings of similarity and connection. Participants were asked to rate their feelings of similarity on a scale from 1 to 9. In several separate experiments, they consistently rated these feelings up to 1.51 points higher for experiential purchases, while also reporting stronger senses of connection and kinship. “You feel a significantly stronger sense of connectedness when you find out that you just saw the same band in concert, than when you learn you have the same shoes as someone else,” Kumar said. One reason for these stronger connections is that experiences form a larger part of a person’s identity than material possessions. On a similar scale, participants rated their sense of identity-related to experiential purchases at an average of 7.21, whereas material purchases were rated at 5.92. “All of our buying habits are, to some extent, part of who we are, and they can connect us to other people. But that's much more likely to be true of experiences we buy than material items we buy,” Kumar added. The study also found that even when others have a superior version of the same experience, experiential purchases still foster a greater sense of connection than material ones — not just with friends, but with people in general. For instance, two people attending the same cricket game, one in the farthest seat from the pitch and the other in a private box, will still feel a stronger kinship than if they wore the same kind of shoes. In two experiments, participants felt a greater “sense of connection to humanity” after reflecting on experiential purchases compared to material ones. Conversely, material purchases left them “unusually disinclined” to pursue social connections overall. While these findings are most relevant to individual consumers and policymakers aiming to enhance health and happiness, Kumar notes there are practical implications for businesses as well. For instance, companies should consider highlighting the experiential aspects of the material goods they sell. This strategy could enhance consumers’ feelings of social connection, driving longer-term satisfaction, customer retention and brand loyalty.

In the western region, hatchbacks constituted as much as 60% of the total sales in 2021, he said. Demand improvement was more pronounced in the south followed by the west, while it was relatively lower in the east even post lockdown, Kumar said. Interestingly, the concept of buying used cars is now gaining momentum in tier 2 and 3 cities as well. “The Covid-19 pandemic has led to an increase in demand for used cars and so we saw a price increase as well for these used cars,” Kumar further added. The market for pre-owned cars is growing faster (15%) than the new car market (10%) in terms of CAGR.

In the sector-wise coverage following the recent <keyword id="3256007" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aon-Hewitt-Salary-increase-report">Aon-Hewitt Salary increase report</keyword> for this year, next up is the automobile industry! 
	 While speaking to <keyword id="4263155" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="amit-kumar-otwani">Amit Kumar Otwani</keyword> - Sr. Consultant, Rewards, <keyword id="6462982" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aon-Hewitt">Aon Hewitt</keyword> - we tried to understand how this key industry is moving forward in terms of its competitiveness, salary increments to employees, pay differentiation and several other parameters in the past couple of years, and what these would look like in future. 
	Here’s an overall outlook of the automotive sector: 
	 
	​Automotive sector continues to project a double-digit salary increase for 2017. However, it has taken a drop from 2016 actual spends. What is the reason for this? 
	In the auto industry, salary increases have gone down from 10.7 to 10.3. There are few things that have happened this year in addition to a few trends we have been seeing over the past few years. From a long term perspective, auto industry promises a long term growth. If you look at the Government's Automotive Mission Plan 2016-26, it says the automotive industry is expected to grow four-fold by the end of 2026 and it will grow at a CAGR of about 10% in terms of sales volumes. So, the long term story from an automotive perspective is intact and is growing well. 
	 
	​However, if we look at what happened last year, the overall domestic sector growth was at 6.05% over the same period last year, and exports saw a decline. There was an impact from demonetisation as well. It impacted the two wheelers sales volumes, luxury car automakers and the tractor industry. This is the reason why the business situation is seeing a cautionary phase. The industry has not grown very well, at least from a demonetisation perspective last year.

	 
	​The way automotive employee costs have grown also needs to be taken into account. It has been growing at about 14.08%, while some of the other business metrics (revenue and other operating expenses) have grown in the range of about 8-10%. Average wage cost of this sector which was about 4-5% five years back has reached 6%. This is putting pressure on the employee cost item in the PNL accounts of organisations and therefore the overall increments have been coming down. It is expected that it may continue to hover around 10% or may be slightly less than 10%.

	 
	Also, in the last couple of years, salary increases in this sector has shown stability overall by hovering around 10.5 %. What is the reason for this figure sticking to a 10% range over a long period of time? 
	Why we will not see this figure going below 10% is because automotive industry has a long gestation period. Therefore, this industry always prepares talent from the next 5-year time frame for the simple reason that if a new product development needs to be done, talent needs to be intact. Moreover, since a lot of companies are building R&amp;D centres in India, automotive companies want to stay competitive with respect to some of the other industries as well. 
	 
	Tell us about attrition levels that Auto sector is facing? 
	Overall attrition has gone up from 9 to 10.2% over the past year. This increase is happening on account of two functions: Sales Marketing and R&amp;D. Since a lot of other organisations are setting up their R&amp;D centres, and talent is mobile across India and not restricted to a particular region, attrition is high in R&amp;D. Moreover, Sales and Marketing is always in demand, so we see talent drifting to other lucrative sectors whenever they can. 
	 
	How is this key industry moving forward in terms of its competitiveness talent-wise, salary increments to employees, pay differentiation? 
	If I compare auto to consumer/telecom sector, the base compensation in automotive is slightly lesser than them. But if I compare it to a Hi-tech sector or a engineering manufacturing sector, auto industry is better placed. That's the reason why salary increments still continue to remain stable at 10%. Since base cost is slightly lower, they have to remain competitive to other industries as well. 
	 
	Pay for performance has been penetrating well in automotive sector. The multiple of salary increases which were provided to top performers at an all industry level was 1.5x in 2013, it has risen to 1.7x. Like other industries, automotive industry also realizes that pay for performance culture is needed and that is why it has been providing disproportionate salary increases to their top performers, though still they are at a below overall India level. 
	 
	In terms of <keyword id="797078" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Pay-compensation">pay compensation</keyword> (for entry, midlevel and senior management), where do you see the Indian automobile industry when you compare it globally? 
	If I were to compare the automotive salary at the entry level for Indians compared to counterparts in developed economies like Germany, US and Japan on purchasing power parity adjusted basis, the automotive industry pays approx. 40% at junior level compared to them. For senior management, automotive industry is moving closer to the global standards in terms of compensation. It is in the range of 70-80%, but it's inching upwards. From a cost arbitrage perspective, India remains to be a destination where automotive industry is investing here and developing their R&amp;D centres and operational units. 
	 
	One thing which automotive industry needs to think about is if we continue to increase salary at 10%, will the cost arbitrage remain sustainable in the long run. 
	 
	​Taking from your last point, I’d like to ask - What are the challenges this sector is facing? 
	From a talent perspective, companies are in a fix on how to retain key talent and critical talent. There is a lot of training and development happening in the R&amp;D and Sales and Marketing functions, and organisations have also built good talent in these functions. However, the new global players coming in are ready to hire this developed and trained lot at a much higher salary. 
	 
	​Secondly, the employee costs have been growing has been rising at a much higher rate than some of the other business fundamentals. It has to grow in tandem with the revenue and profitability or be lesser than them.

	 
	​Another element is the way fixed and variable costs are structured. If you compare the fixed to variable ratio either to global levels or some other mature industries in India, automotive has higher fixed cost. That's where it sees increase in overall employee costs. What they should do is manage the fixed to variable in such a way that the fixed increase remains in check.

If you are a top performer in the automotive sector, you don't have to worry about your salary hike

In the sector-wise coverage following the recent <keyword id="3256007" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Aon-Hewitt-Salary-increase-report">Aon-Hewitt Salary increase report</keyword> for this year, next up is the <keyword id="20077" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="automobile-industry">automobile industry</keyword>! 
 While speaking to <keyword id="51561" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Amit-Kumar">Amit Kumar</keyword> Otwani - Sr. Consultant, Rewards, Aon Hewitt – we tried to understand how this key industry is moving forward in terms of its competitiveness, salary increments to employees, pay differentiation etc in the past couple of years, and what these would look like in future. 
 
“If I look at the industry growth for last 6 years, it stood at 20% and 12% in the first two years, saw a flat growth rate of 2 to 3% thereafter, and in the next two years (2014-16) came back to roughly an 8-9%. The salary increases has also seen a rise with the rise in growth rate. In 2010-11, salary increases were roughly at 14%, it went down to 12.3% and then picked up again to reach a 10.1%. In the last couple of years it has shown stability by hovering around 10.5 %, close to the India average of 10.3%,” he says. 
 Highlighting some of the happenings in the industry as of now and correlating these numbers, Amit says that controlling rising cost of infrastructure and R&amp;D could be a major challenge for the <keyword id="34478" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="auto-industry">auto industry</keyword> in the times to come. 
 
“Companies are increasingly investing in product development following stricter environmental norms. It is leading to a huge technical upgradation and therefore more investments. Remember, Supreme Court of India has ordered auto OEMs to produce vehicles which will comply to BS-VI norms by April 2020. This can put a lot of pressure on the auto industry to have cleaner vehicles in the times to come,” he says. 
 
Another challenge which has been discussed a lot is the demand for cars coming down due to the emergence of Olas and Ubers. However, for it to be a major-time threat there’s still a long way to go. 
 
Increasing wage costs, however, is a concern that can’t be taken lightly. 
 
“The wage cost used to be in a range of 3-5%, however, with double digit increase and also the revenue growth of the industry being slightly muted, the wage cost has moved in the range of 5-6%. This is putting a lot of pressure on the industry to control the salary increases. Moreover, if we compare it some other countries, say Indonesia, wage costs are much lower there,” says Amit. 
 
“Precisely, why we are not seeing it go up any further in India too. It’s also highly unlikely that it will go up or down in the next few years. What we expect is it will remain closely in the range of 10% because this is a new normal we are observing and companies don’t want to keep higher incremental next year in view of the wage cost factor and in order to stay competitive,” he adds. 
 
He also informs that comparing pay compensation and adjusting purchasing power parity, India has reached slightly lower mark compared to the global/emerging marketers in terms of senior management. However, he adds that at the entry level, “India is paying as much as some of the emerging countries.” 
 
“The cost advantage which auto industry, therefore, enjoys is coming into a check and therefore companies are cautiously providing salary increases which has contributed in achieving this new normal,” he says. 
 
Now speaking of talent attrition, the numbers have come down from 10-12% to 9-10% in the auto industry like in the other sectors. The reason for this dip is lack of opportunities in the sector for a couple of years now; however, Amit says looking at the uptake in the last one year, this number could go up. 
 
“There is lot of thrust from the government’s end to upscale the entire auto industry. With that some of the key companies are also investing in India. Moreover, R&amp;D institutes (by HeroMotorCorp and others) are likely to come up soon. So, I see the attrition going up in R&amp;D and Sales and Marketing in the coming times,” he says. 
 Another key area which needs focus is the pay differentiation. It’s 1.5 to 1.6 times in terms of salary increases in the auto sector this year. “Compared to the likes of <keyword id="34523" type="CITY" weightage="20" keywordseo="fmcg">FMCG</keyword>, Telecom, Banking, this number is lower in the auto sector because it’s been slightly traditional. What we recommend is that the differentiation should be sharper because of the overall pay-for-performance culture. Auto industry needs to catch up with respect to other industries in this regard,” says Amit. 
 
He also sees employees in Sales, purchase, Engineering and electronics moving to startups or e-commerce. “The auto industry is innovating itself and there is a lot of focus on electronics. This is an area where it could compete with early stage startups. Therefore, people in sales, purchase, engineering and electronics could probably get attracted to some of the early stage startups,” Amit Says, adding that overall auto industry does not have a huge threat in terms of losing its key talent to the new startups or e-commerce industry. 
 
Even as global players have already made their mark in India, Amit says as he concludes, “there could be newer players in the luxury car or motorbike segment in the future, this could as a result greater war for talent.”

It has been edited for length and clarity.My breast cancer was in remission, but I was in a constant state of worry that it would return. I had <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/triple-negative-breast-cancer">triple-negative breast cancer</a>, or TNBC, one of the most deadly forms of the disease with a high rate of recurrence.The one and only time I'd Googled it — soon after my diagnosis in September 2018 — I was shocked to read that this kind of cancer reoccurred around 60% of the time. Once you have a recurrence with triple negative, it's usually <a href="https://www.insider.com/guides/health/conditions-symptoms/metastatic-breast-cancer">metastatic</a> breast cancer, meaning it's no longer isolated to one area of your body.

If I had an ache in my arm because I'd slept on it wrong, I thought I had bone cancer.

I hoped that one day, people would never have to worry about breast cancer — especially triple negative — ever again.I asked the inventor of the vaccine if he'd seen any terrible reaction in the mice who'd received it so far. "Did any of them die?" I said. He said no.I asked how many of these animals had experienced a recurrence of TNBC. "Zero," the doctor, who was based at the <a href="https://my.clevelandclinic.org/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Cleveland Clinic</a> in Ohio, said. <h2>The medical staff applauded when I received the vaccine</h2>The vaccine is designed to train the immune system to destroy cells that are producing a protein called alpha-lactalbumin. The protein is present only when a woman is lactating or when cancer cells form. If the vaccine has correctly trained the immune system, it will destroy cancer cells before they form a tumor.So far, 14 other women have met the criteria for the trial. We were eligible because we'd been treated for TNBC within the past three years and were at high risk of a recurrence. I was the first person to get the vaccine. You get three doses, two weeks apart. I had one in each leg and one in the stomach. The medical staff in the room applauded. We were all so hopeful.<div type="image" title="Jennifer Davis, wearing a head wrap during her treatment for breast cancer, in a selfie with her husband, Brian." height="1737" width="2316" msid="100702749" hostid="261" sizebytes="257062"></div>We've been closely monitored for almost two years now. The results have shown that the immune system is responding as everyone wanted it to. Nobody's cancer has come back. It feels like a miracle.The next phase of the trial will be done on women with the <a href="https://www.insider.com/my-daughter-and-i-have-brca1-gene-mutation-breast-cancer-2022-9">BRCA gene</a> — those who've had prophylactic mastectomies because of their increased chance of developing breast cancer. The last phase will involve a double-blind study of thousands of women across the world.If everything goes to plan, the vaccine could receive approval from the <a href="https://www.insider.com/jeff-bridges-almost-died-covid-chemotherapy-2022-5">Food and Drug Administration</a> within the next five years. Anixa has been focused on TNBC because it's the most lethal type of breast cancer. But they believe the vaccine will also prevent other types of breast cancer.A recurrence of my cancer is no longer a topic of discussion in our family. I have two daughters, and it's incredible to think that within my lifetime and theirs, breast cancer could be a thing of the past.Editor's note: Insider contacted Dr. Amit Kumar, the CEO of Anixa Biosciences. "Looking at the technology, it's a very unique approach to preventing breast cancer," he said. "It's a bold statement to make, but assuming the data continues to look as good as it has, and assuming we do the larger studies, it's possible that we might be able to eliminate virtually all breast cancers."

I was one the first people to get a vaccine for breast cancer. It could save millions of lives worldwide.

In fact, it is predicted to grow 2x in volume and 2.5x in value in the upcoming next five years, as per a report by Olx Auto and CRISIL. The pre-owned cars market is expected to grow at a Compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16% from FY ’22 – FY‘27 while the new car market will grow at a CAGR of 10%, the report highlights. “This year, emerging from the impact of Covid-19, the pre-owned car market is poised for further acceleration in the coming years. There is a clear preference for pre-owned cars among consumers in larger towns, fuelled by an accelerated shift to digital channels - that offer higher convenience and build consumer trust,” said Amit Kumar, CEO, OLX India. The report further suggests that the pre-owned car market is expected to double in size from 4.1 million units in FY22 to 8.2 million units in FY27, increasing its lead by 1.7x over the new car market. According to the report, the market also achieved pre-pandemic levels in terms of volume and has grown by 9% since then. Return to near-normalcy, improved consumer sentiment, increase in mobility, opening of offices and a resurgence in travel are some of the major reasons behind this massive growth in the pre-owned car segment in India, according to the report. It is clear that overall demand for cars in India is growing as the market for new cars is also expected to grow and reach 4.8-5 million cars by FY27. “In fact, the new car market will record high sales in FY23 backed by improvement in production levels, product launches coupled with continued traction for the UV segment,” the report said. Urban markets drive the bulk of the demand for cars in India. “With 37% of the Indian population living in urban areas by 2025, we will see a sharp rise in disposable incomes and affordability for discretionary spending on personal mobility,” Kumar further added. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Maruti’s small cars dominate the pre-owned car market" comment="subhead" text="Maruti’s small cars dominate the pre-owned car market"><keyword id="6912" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="maruti" source="Orion">Maruti</keyword>’s small cars dominate the pre-owned car market</cmsannotation> According to the report, the demand for small cars is much more than big cars and Maruti maintains its dominance in the segment. However, the share of small cars in the total demand for pre-owned cars is expected to contract by 2% by FY27. Maruti Baleno, Hyundai Elite i20, Renault KWID, Maruti Suzuki Dzire and Hyundai Grand i10 are some of the cars popular among people in this segment. The large car or sedan pre-owned segment will see the most contraction, declining from 12% share in FY22 to 7% in FY27. This is expected to happen due to declining sales in the new car market, lack of new model launches and a shift in preference towards UVs, as per the report. In the pre-owned segment, the UV car segment is expected to grow by 3x over the next five years, reaching a market share of 32% in the pre-owned car market. Hyundai CRETA, Maruti Brezza, Maruti Ertiga and Mahindra XUV500 are some of the popular UV cars in India.

Pre-owned cars market in India to grow 2x in volume in the next five years: Olx Auto - CRISIL report

<ul><li>The demand for pre-owned luxury cars rose on OLX Autos as new cars became costlier in 2022.</li><li>Pre-owned <keyword id="6355119" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bmw" source="Orion">BMW</keyword> witnessed the highest demand on the used car platform, followed by <keyword id="6357420" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mercedes" source="Orion">Mercedes</keyword> Benz and <keyword id="6363321" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="audi" source="Orion">Audi</keyword>.</li><li>However, even pre-owned luxury cars witnessed an increase in their prices as sellers now try to leverage the pent up demand.</li></ul>Customers are showing a growing preference for pre-owned BMW luxury cars as rising input costs and inflationary pressures make buying a new car an expensive proposition. A report by OLX Autos noted that the demand for pre-owned luxury cars witnessed a sharp increase in the first half of 2022, with BMW being the top favourite. It was followed by Mercedes Benz, Audi, <keyword id="42034" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="jaguar" source="Orion">Jaguar</keyword> and <keyword id="45673" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="porsche" source="Orion">Porsche</keyword> in that order. OLX Autos, in its report, said that the supply of luxury cars across Tier 1 cities recorded an annual growth of 40% on its used-car platform. The Tier II cities witnessed a growth of 45% in the same time frame. The company arrived at the conclusion after analysing over 50,000 luxury car listings made on the platform in the January to June period. “With discretionary spending back to pre-covid levels and an increase in disposable incomes, we are seeing a noticeable change in the aspirations of consumers to upgrade to luxury car brands. Pre-owned luxury car market has particularly benefited from this sentiment as well as from the long waiting period, and increase in prices of new vehicles,” Amit Kumar, CEO of OLX Group India, said in a statement. OLX is not alone in benefitting from this trend. Its competitor Spinny had also <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/business/auto/news/hyundai-elite-i20-grand-i10-and-maruti-suzuki-baleno-are-the-most-popular-second-hand-cars/slidelist/92854152.cms">witnessed high demand for Mercedes C class</a>, BMW 3 series and Audi Q3 on its newly launched luxury car portal in the second quarter of 2022. However, just like brand new cars, pre-owned luxury cars also witnessed an increase in their prices from a year earlier. The average listing price of Mercedes Benz shot up by 25%, followed by Porsche that saw a 13% rise. Prices for BMW spiked 11% from a year ago, while Audi and Jaguar registered a 6% and 2.6 % rise respectively. In Tier 2 cities, on the other hand, the price of Jaguar and Porsche fell by 8% and 18%, respectively. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;"></colgroup><tbody><tr><td
