A glimpse at your smartphone today will tell you just how many subscription-based services have pervaded our lives. Be it booking a cab, shopping, ordering food or <keyword id="15646244" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="booking-a-table" source="Orion">booking a table</keyword> at a restaurant, there’s always an app for that. But at some point subscription fatigue has to become a real phenomenon right? This is where <keyword id="7391793" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="times-prime" source="Orion">Times Prime</keyword>, the super App from Times Internet, comes into play. Rapidly rising as one of the most preferred <keyword id="15482" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="lifestyle" source="Orion">lifestyle</keyword> super-apps, Times Prime, offers an extensive range of benefits on a single platform, from shopping to entertainment and lifestyle, brands like Starbucks, Myntra, Uber, Disney+ Hotstar, SonyLIV, Google One, and many more. The idea is simple — instead of paying for different subscription services, pay for one -- and you can access all of these at once. Celebrating Times Prime’s success In line with digital transaction industry trends, about 70% of the Times Prime app's MAUs are male users, while the rest are female. <div type="image" title="The Gourmet Table Mumbai" msid="95846724" hostid="261" sizebytes="1711755"></div>Times Prime members can access multiple apps and services with just one subscription thus delivering great ROI for members, without compromising on their experiences – precisely the reason why Times Prime has witnessed an exponential growth of 300% over the last 3 years.. According to Harshita Singh, Business Head, Times Prime, over 20,000 brand benefits are unlocked on the app daily with weekends seeing further spikes. The member base spans 18 Indian cities, with UPI (48%) being the primary mode of payment followed by credit cards (21%) and then wallets. “To sustain this growth momentum, we will continue to launch exciting benefits and experiences that are valued by the transacting digital natives in the country. We also want to continually upgrade the app experience to better showcase the new categories and to enable discovery of the range of benefits” Singh told Business Insider India in an interview. She added that while Times Prime’s users come primarily from metro cities in India, the app has been seeing increasing demand from all regions. Over-the-top (OTT) and news content are consumed often, along with services like booking cabs, restaurants, grooming and events. “When we were initially trying to get brands to buy into this concept it was hard! But there is a flywheel that exists in bundles- good brands attract more good brands. We also deliver immense value to our partners - scale, user quality, transactions, and that's why they choose to be a part of Times Prime year on year,” she said. New categories, special benefits The company is also planning to introduce new categories and add special benefits for subscribers, including top restaurants in India. A number of other OTT brands are also expected to be added, along with kids' brands, fashion, lifestyle, travel and other services. Singh said that the app was originally created with digital natives in mind, but has since progressed to high frequency use cases, even if they aren’t digital. “Currently we have a strong presence in the Online-To-Offline (OTO) space as some of Times Prime benefits and experience can only be enjoyed offline. One good example can be our Grooming &amp; Wellbeing benefits. Similar to this, our members book curated Times Prime experiences &amp; events like Purple Carpet, The Gourmet Table, History &amp; Food Walks, Photography walks, offers on tea &amp; coffee and mixology sessions on the platform to enjoy them at some of the top venues with other members. We are seeing a strong demand for this category and have a number of exclusive properties in the pipeline,” she added. The subscription business isn’t the company’s only revenue model either. “The beauty of a subscription offering is that people pay you for their own loyalty. As a platform that gives us a lot of leverage to be a launchpad for new subscriptions, D2C offerings, ticketed events, thus resulting in monetisation opportunities beyond the subscription paywall,” said Singh. Further, Singh noted that with performance marketing getting more expensive to scale now, brands can take advantage of platforms like Times Prime. Super apps like these can deliver access to a larger audience at the same time, increasing short term returns on investment and widen the reach.

The Indian cricket board could soon get richer by at least ₹5000 crore with the addition of two new franchises during the 2022 edition of <keyword id="1777211" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Indian-Premier-League-" source="Orion">Indian Premier League.</keyword> The <keyword id="6354312" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="IPL" source="Orion">IPL</keyword>, which is currently an eight-team tournament, will become a 10-team affair from the next edition and during a recent governing council meeting, the modalities of the bidding process were chalked out. "Any company can buy the bid document paying ₹10 lakh.

The source, who has dealt with the financial side of IPL in the past, said that the BCCI stands to gain at least ₹5000 crore if the <keyword id="48985" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bids" source="Orion">bids</keyword> go as per plan with plenty of large business conglomerates showing active interest in bidding. "The BCCI is expecting anything in the range of 5000 crore if not more. There will be 74 IPL games next season and it's a win-win situation for everyone." It is learnt that only companies with an annual turnover of ₹3000 crore will be allowed to bid for the teams. In a welcome news, the BCCI is planning to allow a consortium to bid for teams as it makes the bidding process more vibrant. "I think more than three business entities won't be allowed to form a consortium but if three business come together and wants to jointly bid for a team, they are welcome to do so," he said. Among the venues where the teams could be based include Amedabad, Lucknow and Pune. The Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad and Ekana Stadium in Lucknow, with bigger capacities, could be the choice for franchises. Some of the names that are doing the rounds include the Adani group, RPG Sanjeev Goenka group, noted pharma company Torrent and a prominent banker who has shown active interest in buying teams.

Launched in 2013, Carmudi is the leading new auto player in the Philippines. Philippines is the second Southeast Asian country where Cardekho Group has started its operations. In 2016 CarDekho green-fielded its Indonesia operations under the brand name OTO.com, which has since become the number one new auto portal in the country. The acquisition is aligned with CarDekho’s business strategy to expand and fortify its footprint across Southeast Asia. Carmudi has a commanding presence in Philippines, with a robust recall value and sturdy lead generation. With Carmudi and CarDekho coming together and working towards digitalizing the entire auto ecosystem, Philippine’s automotive industry is expected to witness its next disruption. CarDekho has been a disruptor in the Indian automotive space. The company’s unique ecosystem engages with consumers throughout their car-buying journey with its different transaction models at one platform. In Philippines too, CarDekho will aggressively focus on building up and digitizing the ecosystem and offer end to end solutions to both new and used car buyers.

We see this growth as a big opportunity to digitize the Philippines auto ecosystem and engage with consumers throughout their online car buying journey. Our strong ecosystem play has made us a leader in India and Indonesia. And now we are expecting the same for Philippines.” “CarDekho, a leading full-stack auto tech company backing us will help us in further strengthening our position in this region. This means added enhancements in technology, processes, and platform resulting in great user experience. Carmudi is already known for quality listings, powerful search, and one-stop convenience but the collaboration with CarDekho will enable us to digitalize and simplify the entire auto ecosystem.” said <keyword id="8385377" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="Cholo-Syquia">Cholo Syquia</keyword>, Country Head, Carmudi Philippines. All car and motorcycle manufacturers in India engage with CarDekho, accounting for 15-30% of some of its partner manufacturers’ annual sales. CarDekho also works actively with over 4,000 new auto dealerships and 3,000 used car dealers across India, influencing more than 42% of the retail sales happening through their counters. In addition, it works in collaboration with more than 10 financial institutions and 18 insurance companies across the country to facilitate used car financing and insurance to provide a seamless experience for both buyers and sellers. The company recently announced its H1 results for FY 19-20. The overall revenue of the company achieved a YOY growth of 92% over the first half of the last fiscal year and stood at $28 million.

Aluminium prices are reportedly expected to stay elevated in the near term. Growing disruptions in supply from China are driving prices up. The disruptions are largely because of new emission rules, power shortages and floods in July. High aluminium prices means better realisations for aluminium makers. <keyword id="149555" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mahindra-mahindra-financial-services" source="Orion">Mahindra &amp; Mahindra Financial Services</keyword> The non-banking finance company’s stock has surged 8% in the last five days led by heavy volumes. Volumes traded in the stock remained elevated above 5-18 million in the last five days. Besides, the financier was at more than 95% collection efficiency in July and expects it to continue as things normalise, said Ramesh Iyer, vice chairman and managing director of the company in an interview with <a href="https://www.cnbctv18.com/finance/raul-rebello-joins-mm-fin-as-coo-confirms-ramesh-iyer-10501961.htm">CNBC-TV18.</a> The market capitalisation of the company stood at ₹19,768 crore as on August 31. Bandhan Bank Investors seem to be picking up the Kolkata based bank’s stock on expectations of high returns. Analysts at Credit Suisse reportedly believe that the bank would give more than 20% return on equity. With this, it has set a target of ₹370 apiece. As on August 31, the stock price is at ₹284.70 per share. Analysts at Kotak Securities feel the same, as it says return on equity is likely to move more than 20%. After the bank reported a 32% on year decline in net profit due to high provisions, analysts at Kotak Securities said it sees an improvement in the second half of FY22 as the economic situation improves. It has set a target price of ₹335 per share. IndiaMART InterMESH Another stock that turned around in the last five days was B2B e-commerce platform IndiaMart InterMESH. The stock surged more than 10% in 5 days against tepid trading in the rest of August. This is primarily because the company’s stock has been added to the futures &amp; options market from August 27. The move boosts participation in the stock as investors and institutions can hedge underlying positions in the stock. Moreover, the B2B e-commerce platform’s consolidated net profit grew by 19% year-on-year to ₹88 crore for the quarter ended June 30, 2021. Hindustan Aeronautics Shares of the state-owned aerospace and defence company were triggered after the company signed a $716-million deal with GE Aviation for supply of engines. Moreover, the stock’s inclusion in the futures and options segment also fueled the rally. ICICIdirect has reportedly set a target price of ₹1,380 per share for the next three months. The stock price stood at ₹1,369.35 as on August 31. <keyword id="11941399" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="aptus-value-housing" source="Orion">Aptus Value Housing</keyword> Finance India Shares of the newly listed housing finance company made a turn around after its weak listing last week. Shares of the company had debuted with 6% discount to its issue price and now in the last five days, it has gained 6%. Analysts had remained positive on the stock despite tepid listing as it expects the company to do well in the long run given consistent strong financial performance, industry leading return ratios and good asset quality. Interglobe Aviation Shares of the airline company have been gaining on expectation of recovery in air traffic as pace of vaccinations goes up. A report by ICICI Securities reportedly said that the average daily passenger traffic is recovering gradually after dropping to a low in May 2021 due to second COVID-19 wave’s restrictions. Besides, the appointment of Gregg Saretsky as a special advisor also gave some support to the stock price. He is said to work closely with the executive leadership team to accelerate operational and commercial improvement opportunities at the airline.
