<ul><li>Saiman Waghdhar, known as <keyword id="7554086" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="saiman-says">Saiman Says</keyword> on YouTube, travelled to the <keyword id="6361754" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="united-kingdom">United Kingdom</keyword> in order to get around India’s ban on two <keyword id="2938280" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="pewdiepie">PewDiePie</keyword> videos. </li><li>Last week the <keyword id="6355014" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="20" keywordseo="delhi-high-court">Delhi High Court</keyword> banned ‘B**ch Lasagna’ and ‘Congratulations’ on YouTube in India. </li><li>Felix Kjellberg, the Swedish vlogger known as PewDiePie has also come under scrutiny with respect to the Christchurch shooting. </li></ul>The row between <keyword id="17191" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="T-series">T-Series</keyword> and PewDiePie was not without its consequences. Felix Kjellberg’s ‘B**ch Lasagna’ and ‘Congratulations’ were banned in India last week for being racist and inflammatory. But, in order to get around the ban, one fan Saiman Waghdhar — popularly known as Saiman Says on YouTube — flew all the way to the United Kingdom. In his video, ‘PewDiePie, I’m coming for you !!! (meet me please)’, the Indian vlogger reminisces how, “Life has been for me. I used to watch B**ch Lasagna 399 times in a day and now I cannot even watch it once back in India.” <div type="Youtube" id="P3B0bMIlQ7s" title="PewDiePie, I'M COMING FOR YOU !!! (meet me pls?🙏)" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/P3B0bMIlQ7s/mqdefault.jpg"></div>

 ‘B**tch Lasagna’ and ‘Congratulations’ were meant to be ‘diss tracks’ aimed at T-Series, an Indian music company that is now the most subscribed channel on YouTube with 95 million subscribers. Despite the ban many users have posted copies of the songs through other channels, so technically, the song is still available in India. Waghdhar clarifies that he didn’t just travel to the United Kingdom for the sole purpose of meeting PewDiePie but that he was already plans to travel for another project. <div type="twitter" handle="HiSaimandar" handlename="Saiman Says" image="http://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/1092721123635183617/2nqc4U-5_normal.jpg" favoritecount="314" retweetcount="32" status="So a post about my video is trending on the subreddit.

 The Saiman Says channel blew up in November last year when Waghdhar responded to MrBeast’s video by creating a parody video where he <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5z_ypXULQA">bought up</a> billboards advertising T-Series in India. PewDiePie Ban Last week, the Delhi High Court <a href="http://iprmentlaw.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/Super-Cassettes-vs-Pew-Die-Pi.pdf">issued</a> an order for YouTube to remove those two songs from the platform categorising them to be ‘defamatory and disparaging’ as well as ‘racist, inflammatory and hateful’. 
 <div type="ExtQuote" text="It is pleaded that the lyrics used in the two impugned songs uploaded by defendant no.1 (PewDiePie)... are on the face of it defamatory, disparaging, insulting and offensive. These videos are accessible throughout the world to a global audience of more than a billion who access internet and YouTube everyday." auname="Delhi High Court order banning ‘B**ch Lasagna’ and ‘Congratulations’"></div>

 In ‘Congratulations’, PewDiePie cites the tax evasion case against former T-Series owner, Bushan Kumar, and points out, “India got YouTube figured out… How about next you figure how to fix the caste system… Maybe all those ads will solve your poverty”. And, it’s not just the courts in India that are calling PewDiePie racist. A Change.org petition is also making the rounds looking to ban the Swedish vlogger for his ‘white supremist’ content. It was filed after the Christchurch Shooter announced, “Subscribe to PewDiePie,” during the live stream of the event only a mere moments before going on his shooting rampage. Kjellberg addressed the petition in one of his videos saying that the claims were “blatantly misrepresenting and misinforming people.” See also: <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/youtube-has-shut-down-a-popular-channel-after-the-mother-was-charged-with-allegations-of-abusing-her-children/articleshow/68506104.cms">YouTube has shut down a popular channel after the mother was charged with allegations of abusing her children</a> <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/some-of-the-most-popular-youtubers-make-millions-from-their-videos-heres-how-you-can-make-some-money-from-your-youtube-channel-too-/articleshow/68763894.cms">Some of the most popular YouTubers make millions from their videos.

As Financial Times' Uma Patel suggests in a tweet thread, that's possibly because ABC capitalized on Facebook's news ban with an ad sending <keyword id="66720" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="users">users</keyword> to its app, reports The verge. ABC News currently sits at number 2 in the App Store's overall app rankings in Australia, according to the analytics firm App Annie, and number 1 in the news app charts. When Patel noticed the change, the app was also briefly number 1 overall, ahead of <keyword id="819905" type="LOCATION" weightage="20" keywordseo="Instagram">Instagram</keyword>, <keyword id="6368284" type="PERSON" weightage="20" keywordseo="Facebook-Messenger">Facebook Messenger</keyword>, and the Facebook app itself, the report said. Facebook's ban was in response to an expansive Australian regulatory measure that will force tech platforms to pay Australian media companies for the content users share (and that platforms earn ad revenue from). Facebook took issue with the change and prohibited Australian news and media organizations from sharing news posts, and Australian users from seeing news from international sources as well. The ban also seemed to accidentally wipe out the posts from government pages and some other sites.

The channel, ran by an Indian record label that produces Bollywood music, thanked its fans for "being part of out journey."At the time T-Series hit the 100-million mark, the subscriber count for gamer-vlogger PewDiePie <a href="https://socialblade.com/youtube/user/pewdiepie">was at just above 96 million</a>.But the two channels have been <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/t-series-overtakes-pewdiepie-youtube-2019-3">neck-and-neck</a> for months, with the competing channels consistently <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/pewdiepie-lost-youtube-crown-to-t-series-2019-3">exchanging leads</a> and <a href="https://twitter.com/itsBhushanKumar/status/1103234186201116672?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1103359287173279744&amp;ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.news18.com%2Fnews%2Fbuzz%2Feveryone-had-the-same-response-to-t-series-chiefs-appeal-to-beat-pewdiepie-on-youtube-2061165.html">jabs</a> as their subscriber counts were boosted dramatically.

As the India-born e-commerce subsidiary moves towards a <a href="https://www.livemint.com/market/ipo/walmart-readies-for-10-bn-flipkart-ipo-11607300769974.html">possibly</a> $10 billion initial public offering (IPO), it seems to be shedding flab with a nearly $300 million write off in one of its units. As Walmart boss Doug Mcmillon wants to “step on the gas” in India, Flipkart chief executive officer (CEO) Kalyan Krishnamurthy has decided to focus on areas like grocery and fashion as well as investments in technology and infrastructure. <div type="Youtube" id="zUinE3RR_nU" title="Flipkart Gets Leaner With A $300 Million Jabong Write-Off" thumbUrl="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/zUinE3RR_nU/mqdefault.jpg"></div> Krishnamurthy described 2020 as the year when Flipkart turned ‘financially prudent’. While he didn’t add any details, inside Walmart’s earnings report, there were “business restructuring charges” including $293 million non-cash impairment for the <a href="http://jabong.com/">Jabong.com</a> trade name. Business Insider reached out to Flipkart for more inputs but the spokesperson said that they have nothing more to add. <keyword id="1484171" type="COMPANY" weightage="20" keywordseo="jabong-com">Jabong.com</keyword> was a fashion e-commerce entity that Flipkart had acquired through Myntra in 2016 and eventually absorbed it. <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="A step towards IPO?" comment="subhead" text="A step towards IPO?">A step towards IPO?</cmsannotation> Such restructurings are common when a company is planning to go public. It makes the IPO more attractive. Walmart is reportedly preparing Flipkart for a big market debut possibly in the US – a $10 billion initial public offering (IPO). The listing is expected to boost Flipkart’s valuation to $40 billion from the current $24.9 billion. While the company hasn’t given a timeline or details for the market offering, <a href="https://www.livemint.com/market/ipo/walmart-readies-for-10-bn-flipkart-ipo-11607300769974.html">reports</a> say that it could be in 2021 with Walmart divesting a 25% stake in the company. <div type="image" title="Flipkart valuation history - December 2020" msid="81105071" hostid="261" caption="&amp;lt;p&amp;gt;Flipkart valuation history until December 2020&amp;lt;/p&amp;gt;"></div> <cmsannotation type="cmsannotation" annotationid="Shedding past baggage is one thing, focussing on the future is another" comment="subhead" text="Shedding past baggage is one thing, focussing on the future is another">Shedding past baggage is one thing, focussing on the future is another</cmsannotation> Walmart is clearly very bullish on Flipkart. Both Walmart CEO Mcmillion and Judith McKenna, president and chief executive officer (CEO) of Walmart International were all praises for the team in India during the earnings call. McKenna said that Flipkart has doubled its gross merchandising value (GMV) despite being shut for 53 days due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “The e-commerce business closed the year stronger than it started,” she added. GMV is the total value of merchandise sold on a platform. When asked about the focus for 2021, Krishnamurthy lined up grocery, fashion, and onboarding loyal customers through their subscription programme. In fashion, Flipkart has already made some moves, but the attractive grocery segment is going to be a challenge.

Kirana is the Hindi word for mom-n-pop stores in India and is the latest buzzword in the race for online grocery retail where some of the richest and mightiest business houses in the country are making big investments. JioMart, which is Reliance Retail’s e-commerce debut, owned by India’s richest man Mukesh Ambani, is targeting 30 million merchants and he is backed by Facebook and WhatsApp for this project. The $100 billion Tata Group, one of India’s oldest and largest conglomerates, has reportedly closed a deal to acquire BigBasket, one of the early birds in India’s online grocery market. Meanwhile, Flipkart is also betting big on adtech (Advertising technology). Krishnamurthy said that Flipkart’s advertising platform is currently one of the top five in India today. Flipkart is strengthening its advertising and monetisation portfolio and has announced the launch of a custom built demand-side platform (DSP). It recently partnered with <a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/advertising/ad-tech/news/flipkart-launches-commerce-focused-self-serve-demand-side-platform/articleshow/80919844.cms">MediaMath</a> to launch its demand-side platform.
