Business leaders now play a more important role than simply maximizing profits in the world’s current state of evolution. The demand for business initiatives and CEOs that prioritize societal improvement has increased as societal concerns persist. A new generation of business leaders and CEOs who are dedicated to having a good influence on their communities and the world at large are emerging as the old idea of success is no longer only determined by financial rewards. These socially responsible business people understand that social responsibility and long-term prosperity go hand in hand, and their endeavors act as engines for significant change.
A rare opportunity exists for business enterprises and leaders to solve urgent social and environmental concerns. They can generate a cascade of influence that extends beyond their immediate areas of influence by coordinating their organizational aims with the larger good. These businesspeople are aware that achieving financial success and having a beneficial social influence coexist. In reality, by including social and environmental concerns in their business models, companies may spur innovation, draw in top talent, and win over stakeholders’ confidence, eventually ensuring long-term success.
Leaders that are socially aware go above the bare minimum of corporate social responsibility. They make an effort to incorporate social and environmental principles into the foundation of their endeavors. Adopting sustainable business models that consider the triple bottom line— people, planet, and profit—is necessary to achieve this. These CEOs contribute to a more just and sustainable future by respecting employee well-being, reducing their environmental impact, and upholding ethical standards across the value chain.
Socially responsible CEOs aggressively seek partnerships and collaboration to increase their influence. They understand that taking collective action and collaborating across sectors is necessary to address complicated social issues. These leaders may take use of shared resources and skills by cooperating with governments, organizations, and other companies to bring about systemic change.

In the modern world, skill development is crucial as it enables individuals to acquire the practical abilities and knowledge required to excel in their chosen field and grab better employment opportunities within a short span of learning the respective skill. In many cases, possessing specific skills can be more beneficial than having a higher tertiary degree, as employers often prioritize practical skills and experience over academic qualifications. This is particularly true when it comes to the industries such as technology, finance, hospitality and healthcare, where specialized skills and certifications are highly valued.
In countries like India and Australia, skill development has proven to be critical due to their respective rapidly growing economies and changing job markets. Synergies are evolving due to a shared understanding of challenges that can provide opportunities for cross-country models of skilling. India has now become the world’s most populous country in the world, with a large workforce that is competing in a global job market. It has one of the highest numbers of working youth population globally. Though a large proportion of the Indian population is highly skeptical about relying on skill development programs for attaining career opportunities, it continues to provide a competitive edge to a wider population of job seekers by making them more attractive to domestic and international employers.
Australia is a developed economy with a high standard of living and a well-educated workforce. However, the Australian job market is also becoming more competitive, particularly in industries such as healthcare, technology, and construction. While pursuing a higher degree may provide individuals with valuable knowledge and expertise, it is noteworthy to mention that practical skills and experience are also highly valued by employers, particularly in rapidly evolving job markets. A higher degree can certainly be helpful in some fields, but it may not always be necessary due to the many obstacles – not least of which is the financial burden of attaining a tertiary qualification or the lack of motivation to pursue one. Beyond that, some employers may prefer candidates with a mix of both academic credentials with embedded practical skills.
Therefore, investing in skill development can be a wise choice for individuals in India, Australia, and other countries looking to stay competitive in their respective economies. Acknowledging this scenario, the Indian, as well as Australian governments, have joined hands to equip their populations with new-age industry specific skills that could improve their livelihoods and create better prospects.
In view of this, REACH for Training (REACH) has created waves of change in the way people perceive this topic. REACH is an establishment delivering Skills Training to learners across Australia. It is highly focused on providing skill development and training programs to underprivileged and marginalised individuals in India as well as Australia. Under the leadership of Suresh Padmanabhan, a strong advocate for skills training who acquired the company with a vision to create a positive impact at the grassroots level, REACH has been able to make a significant difference in the lives of many individuals. Through its various programs and initiatives, REACH aims to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers by empowering individuals with the necessary skills and knowledge to succeed in their chosen fields. The company offers a wide range of training courses, including soft skills and industry specific vocational training.
In this narrative, we have highlighted the excerpts of the conversation held with the CEO, Suresh Padmanabhan, who takes immense pride in being able to add value to people’s lives at the ground level. We firmly believe that our global aficionado would be able to draw motivation from the success story of REACH and get valuable nuggets of wisdom from the views shared by the CEO.
REACH is a community-based Registered Training Organisation with a clear objective of improving individuals’ lives and enabling learners to contribute positively to the community. The organisation strives to promote engagement by offering skill-building training programs, with a particular emphasis on youth living in rural India and disadvantaged communities in Australia. REACH is a commercial organisation with a community mindset in its approach to skills training.
To ensure that they provide adequate support to communities in both countries, they utilize their proven skills training framework from Australia and implement it in remote and rural areas in India, REACH through its Indian Subsidiary Australian Skill Development, works closely with local communities. The company’s primary goal is to offer high-quality education and training that could result in better job opportunities for all learners, including those who are long-term unemployed, refugees, persons with disabilities, or from disadvantaged groups.
One of the key areas where REACH has created an enormous impact is in helping refugees and survivors of civil war and new migrants in Australia gain jobs and career pathways. These individuals often face significant challenges in securing employment due to their lack of confidence and skills. However, with the seamless support and training provided by REACH, many have been able to acquire the necessary skills and knowledge to secure better job opportunities and build their lives from scratch.
REACH also works closely with local communities and NGOs to identify and address the specific training needs of marginalized individuals, including women, youth, and people with disabilities. Through its outreach programs, Australian Skill Development has been able to provide training and support to thousands of individuals across Indian states including Odisha, Tamil Nadu, Jharkhand and Bihar. In addition, REACH is the leading provider of International Trainer and Assessor Course (TOT Training) developed by the Australian Government and accredited by NSDC, India for Indian Trainers undertaking competency-based skills training in India. Also, collaborating with British Council to train TOT for English and Soft Skills Training to our Trainers and Assessors to enhance their skills in conducting and assessing students in the respective training programs.
Owing to their persistent efforts, many individuals who would otherwise be left behind in the job market are now able to sit at highly reputed positions in various sectors that improved not only their own standard of living but also elevated the standard of living of their respective families.
to uplift communities and create a more equitable future for all,” Asserts Suresh.
As a mission-driven vocational skills training provider, REACH aims to improve the lives of individuals and communities through quality training and education leading to job outcomes.
REACH’s core focus is to prepare a steady groundwork for a better future for learners who are identified as disadvantaged, long-term unemployed, single parents and those with disabilities or language barriers. REACH begins by designing and developing courses through an extensive industry consultation process, allowing for the adaptation of course units to ensure better future employability and suitability of individuals.
REACH also employs skilled, knowledgeable, and talented trainers and assessors who are industry-leading practitioners with extensive industry experience. To ensure the employability of the learners, REACH’s trainers and assessors have current knowledge of the industry, which they extend to learners. REACH also has many industry connections and partnerships, enabling the institution to assist learners in finding employment upon completion of their training by providing wrap-around support services like job referrals, resume building, and interview preparation.
At REACH, our efforts and initiatives are all tied together by education, training, and job outcomes. Our focus is on empowering and supporting rural and disadvantaged communities in Australia and India, and we are committed to making a significant difference in their lives. We believe that investing in skills training and job creation for the youth is not only good for business, but it’s also a powerful way
REACH’s traineeship and apprenticeship program allows employees working in the industry to undertake training whilst working, leading to career progression or enhanced professional development. The unique blended delivery mode supports learners who are working part-time in the industry and wish to undertake further training to enhance their skills and knowledge or for career progression.
Despite challenges such as the pandemic, REACH has successfully met its goals and objectives through a number of impactful strategies. In the past 12 months, REACH has created numerous opportunities for talented professionals to better assist and support its learners, resulting in an increase in staffing numbers. REACH held daily stand-up team meetings to identify challenges and support needs and provide early intervention measures to address issues quickly. The meetings also promoted transparency, recognized strong performance, and ensured alignment with REACH objectives. Every six months, strategy day meetings were held where the leadership team participated in strategic planning and goal setting, evaluated new ways of working and engaged with the learners. REACH also invested in new software and systems to build on existing opportunities, enhance productivity, and improve efficiency. The systems enabled staff to access information remotely and provided better visibility and tracking of enquiries, resulting in faster response times and a seamless learning journey.
Suresh shared his keen thoughts on how the VET ecosystem is different in Australia and India. He emphasized facilitating such an environment that could contribute and strategize as per the need of both countries accordingly. He elucidates that Australia’s vocational education and training (VET) system has evolved significantly over time and has faced and continues to face similar challenges as India’s VET system, albeit on a smaller scale. The Australian VET system is led by the industry and caters to various age groups and demographics. It offers both initial education and training, as well as re-training, upskilling, and career change opportunities. VET can be delivered both in institutions and workplaces, and qualifications are nationally recognized. The current reform efforts in Australia aim to ensure quality provision and recognize the crucial role of industry in shaping a robust system that benefits both individuals and enterprises.
On the other hand, India faces a significant skills gap in terms of quality and quantity, with a training capacity of only 3.1 million people per year. The Modi government’s Skilling India concept envisions a rapid increase in India’s training capacity. However, achieving this ambitious goal will require “root and branch” changes to its VET sector, given the various challenges it faces, such as competing agencies and interests, a lack of infrastructure and up-to-date equipment, and a shortage of VET Trainers.
Suresh emphasized that To achieve its skills ambitions, India must not only address the technical and resource issues but also create a brand awareness for the demand for high-quality vocational training that is directly linked to the labour market and provides tangible benefits to individuals and employers.
Throughout its stellar journey, REACH has managed to grab the attention of well-acclaimed establishments at the global level. Hence, it has received numerous awards and accolades for its inimitable services in the Skills Training and Community welfare sector. A few of the worthy mentions are-
• In 2016, received a letter of appreciation from the Australian government for catalyzing the process of Australia’s skills development partnership with India.
• In 2016, the winner of “Small Business of the Year Award” IABCA AWARDS, Australia.
• In 2016, the winner of “Small Business of the Year Award” Indian Executive Club AWARDS, Australia.
• In 2019, the winner of the “VOCATIONAL STUDENT OF THE YEAR” NSW TRAINING AWARDS, Australia.
• In 2019, was the finalist of the “EXCELLENCE IN EDUCATION, TRAINING AND CAREERS” WSABE AWARDS, Australia.
• In 2022, the winner of “Community Services Excellence Award” IABCA AWARDS, Australia.
The parting words shared by the frontrunner “Finally, there needs to be a change in mindset towards Vocational Education & Training. Both in Australia and in India, the stigma attached to Vocational Education & Training needs to change, and people need to recognize that Vocational Training provides career pathways with valuable skills that are in demand in the workforce today at a shorter time frame focusing on practical experience and job readiness at the end of the training program.
Kishore Biyani, the founder and CEO of Future Group, is often referred to as India’s Sam Walton. India’s Retail King Kishore Biyani revolutionized the retail industry. Kishore is the man who has taken the retail business by storm and now has zillions of successes under his belt, but he has also experienced his fair share of disappointments! The Future Group already has more than 70 million square feet of retail space in 90 cities and 60 rural regions, with plans to develop another 9 million square feet in the coming years.
• Born: 9 August 1961 - Bombay, Maharashtra, India
• Age: 58
• Citizenship: India
• Occupation: Founder and CEO at Future Group, Chairman and Managing Director at Future Retail, Founder and Group CEO at Future Lifestyle Fashions
• Net worth: US$1.78 billion (2019)
Kishore Biyani, the company’s creator, comes from a business experience. His grandfather had a garment store, and his entire family worked there. Kishore wants to accomplish something different in this industry. He then decided to open a retail business where he could get everything, he needed under one roof at a reasonable price. His initiative stunned the retail industry as a whole. He started his first store in Kolkata and went on to open more than 50 locations across the country within a year. Kishore Biyani started Big Bazaar in 2001. Biyani wanted to be a filmmaker at first, but after failing at that, he became one of India’s largest retail proprietors.
Biyani began his commercial experience in the late 1980s by creating readymade trousers, but his retail journey began in the late 1990s when he opened a Pantaloons store and a Big Bazaar in Calcutta. He is a graduate of HR College in Mumbai and comes from a business family with roots in Rajasthan.
Biyani planned to rely primarily on white-label FMCG created under Future Consumer Enterprises and to stock his stores with the cheapest and best groceries. While he will continue to stock FMCG products from companies such as ITC and Hindustan Unilever (HUL), having his labels allows him to provide the best value while still safeguarding his margins. Biyani believed it would be a big source of money and profit, as well as the most important aspect of his strategy.
Pantaloons, Big Bazaar, Food Bazaar, and Central were among the new formats and labels he introduced. Biyani was compelled to restructure the company in late 2009, de-merging the non-retail assets. He concentrated on only four formats rather than the usual 24. Pantaloons, Central, Big Bazaar, and Food Bazaar were among the stores that were kept. The debt problem, on the other hand, refused to go away.
The debt for the core retail company increased to INR 5,800 crore in April 2012, with a net debt-to-equity ratio of 1.8x. The debt was roughly 55% of the EBITDA in FY12. In the same year, he sold Pantaloons to the Aditya Birla group for INR 1,600 crore, his first big triumph. He and his family-owned 33.5
percent of Future Group, but almost all of it was committed to lenders.
BIG BAZAAR SUBSIDIARIES
• Food Bazaar
• Pantaloons
• eZone
• Fbb
• Some of the products sold by Big Bazaar are as follows:
• Food Products
• Eatables
• Grocery
• Kitchen Appliances
• Home and Furniture
• Jewelry
• Electronics
• Toiletries
• Toys and Stationery
• Clothing and Footwear
Big Bazaar opened 250 retail shops in 125 locations across India. They now have more than 12 million tales around the country. Clothing, kitchen appliances, toiletries, and other household items are sold at their 7 million outlets. The remaining 5 million stores sell everything connected to food. Big Bazaar purchases products directly from manufacturers, eliminating all intermediaries. It allows them to make a significant profit margin on all of their products. They also give their consumers discounts without incurring any losses.
It didn’t help that the country was put under lockdown after the COVID-19 disturbance at the end of March. Although stores offering essentials may be opened, customers preferred to purchase at their local stores or turn to internet retailers. Big Bazaar stores were largely found in malls that were
built much later and are still struggling to attract customers. The shares of the company dropped by more than 80% in just four months as a result of the damage.
Kishore Biyani began his career by renting modest rooms or simple stores to display his wares on the spur of the moment. This allowed him to gain a better understanding of his customers. Biyani, according to Future Group staff, is frequently seen standing in the mall atrium, monitoring his customers. One of his key interests is stated to be understanding people and their attitudes. Biyani, according to many who know him, has a sixth sense of what customers want and goes to great lengths to measure the pulse of the Indian client.
He is also a Bollywood fan and producer of two Bollywood films: Na Tum Jaano Na Hum and Chura Liya Hai Tumne spent nearly INR 26 crore.
• Received the “CNBC Awaaz Consumer Awards” (2009)
• Pantaloon Retail was awarded as the “International Retailer of the Year” (2007)

• “Retail Face of the Year” Images Retail Awards (2005)

• “CEO of the Year” (2001)
KISHORE BIYANI QUOTES
• If we provide people with an occasion to shop, they will come, whether in the cities or the small towns.
• “We live in an imperfect world, and it is meaningless to strive for perfection. It is far better to strive for excellence. Strategy”
• “A manager always fears making a mistake and that is where he differs from an entrepreneur.”
• “For example, while we were developing the staff uniform, several people suggested that they dress up and wear ties, white shirts, and other formal attire. Kishoreji was adamantly opposed, stating that a salesperson should never appear to be smarter than his customer. Allow the salesman to appear to be in Grade 4 on the social ladder if the consumer is in Grade 5.”

Garlic has been a favorite in kitchens for millennia. This herb has curative and therapeutic effects due to its antibacterial and antiseptic properties. Garlic’s health advantages are due to allicin, a substance contained in it. Phosphorus, zinc, potassium, and magnesium are all plentiful minerals. Garlic is also high in vitamins C and K, as well as folate, niacin, and thiamine.
Garlic is available in many places of the world and is a popular cooking ingredient due to its unique aroma and flavor. However, garlic’s main use in ancient history was for its health and medical virtues. Many important civilizations, including the Egyptians, Babylonians, Greeks, Romans, and Chinese, used it widely.
Allicin, a chemical found in garlic, prevents LDL from oxidized (bad cholesterol). This helps to lower cholesterol and promote heart health. Adding Garlic to your diet helps to prevent thromboembolism by reducing the occurrence of blood clots. When you use Garlic in your diet it will decrease blood pressure, making it effective for hypertensive people.
While there aren’t enough reports to identify that garlic can prevent or treat the common cold, it can help your body’s defense mechanisms in a variety of ways. According to Bazilian, allicin in garlic has antibacterial characteristics. Garlic may also have antiviral capabilities, according to scientists, which may function in two ways: inhibiting virus entry into cells and increasing the immune response so that it can efficiently fight off prospective invaders. It can help you to maintain a healthy immune system.
03 - GIVES YOU BETTER SKIN AND HAIR
Garlic’s antioxidants and antibacterial characteristics can help you get rid of acne-causing bacteria and clear up your skin. According to one study, applying raw garlic to pimples can help them go away. However, you should be warned that it may induce a burning feeling on your skin. If you’re using any other products on your face, talk to your dermatologist before following the tips.
04 - EFFECTIVE AGAINST NEURODEGENERATIVE DISORDERS
This is one of the most prevalent advantages of eating garlic cloves regularly, and it is due to garlic’s antioxidant characteristics. Antioxidants aid in the protection of neuron cells from free radicals. This property aids in the prevention of some neurological diseases, such as Alzheimer’s and dementia. It would be enough to eat 3-4 raw garlic bulbs every day to achieve the desired results.
05 - INCREASES IRON ABSORPTION
The blood contains around 70% of the iron in the body. Iron is one of the most critical minerals for blood formation. Iron’s part in the formation of Hemoglobin is one of its most important functions. Hemoglobin is a type of red blood cell that transports oxygen throughout the body. Thus, proper consumption of garlic can help in increasing the oxygen supply by increasing the amount of iron absorbed in the body. It also aids in the prevention of disorders like anemia.

In this exclusive article, we speak to Nakul Madhura, we have been closely tracking through his blogs and articles on this hot topic. Nakul is a cybersecurity enthusiast from Australia and here he is dispensing his in-depth insights into this globally- acknowledged market. With an enormous amount of funding and investment being poured into this industry, the number of cybersecurity service providers (CSSPs) is skyrocketing like never before! In the current scenario especially since the onset of 2020 (since the start of pandemic), cyber threats started to be conducted as a whole new level ransomware attacks, phishing attacks, supply chain attacks and brand & trademark abuse, etc., the significance of CSSPs and advanced threat intelligence has been acknowledged by everyone- be it an individual or any corporation. And above that, the proliferating use of BYOD devices, the Work from Home trend and remote access, has propelled the masses towards more and more inclusion of digital technologies, stirring the requirement of next-level security measures to navigate the cyber world.
An absolute suite of cybersecurity services enriched in protection, detection, response, and sustainable services is the need of the hour to establish a sense of confidence among the global populace that their precious information systems are impeccable against data breaches. In this direction, the formation of strategic cybersecurity services to build an enhanced security posture has become crucial to shield oneself against cyber threat state actors. Referring to the Domain Security Report in line with Forbes Global 2000 companies, Nakul states that any kind of cyber threat
is induced by phishing at an early stage. So far, it has been estimated that all across the globe, huge monetary losses have been the result of ransomware attacks majorly, despite it, multiple ransomware response systems are inefficient in terms of considering phishing risks which is a major issue. The first layer of defense can be establishing a domain security system, just by considering the threat of phishing as the first considerable step towards a cybersecurity solution. Furthermore, he proceeded with elucidating three common methods of conducting the phishing attacks by the ‘malicious elements’:
1. Compromised third-party domain registrations
2. Nearby domain names causing confusion
3. Inability of email authentication and email headers, commonly called spoofing
As asserted earlier, domain security is an instrumental step to weaken the cyber threats and this process includes a framework that comprises three vital components-
1. Protective measures for suspicious domains
2. Additional checks for email header spoofing
3. Additional monitoring towards odd domain activity
Email channeling with DMARC, DKIM and SPF, a much helpful resource set to gain a better security posture:
Unprotected domains pose a major threat to an entity’s security infrastructure, customer safety, data protection, IP, supply chains, etc. To combat the risk of phishing attacks, mail administrators can shield their email domains from hackers via DMARC (Domain-based Authentication, Reporting and Conformance) in response to email spoofing scams or other cyber threats. It primarily provides email authentication against any impersonated domain that reaches out to the user. Likewise, leveraging the technologies such as DKIM (Domain Keys Identified Mail) and SPF (Sender Policy Framework) that are pretty much free-of-cost to be used by any organization, can ensure all-around protection against spoofing at the DNS level. On one hand, DKIM provides an end-to-end key digital signature that validates the authenticity of the received email. On the other hand, SPF allows an email sender to customize and regulate the IP addresses that can safely send an email message at a specific domain. Those who are wellaware of the significant role of email campaigns in customer acquisition, as well as retention, know how important domain security technologies are to be cybersecure. However, still only half of the total population of email authorizers are utilizing such technologies in their own favor which emphasizes the need for user awareness, claims Nakul.
The latest tech trend in security infrastructures is Cybersecurity Mesh that is defined as designing and implementing a robust IT security system across all the concerning devices and IT networks. Vulnerabilities are what Cyber threat state actor intend to exploit and new-age IT security can prove to be quite a competent mechanism against it, cites Nakul. Since the rapid proliferation of IoT devices and internet penetration, access points are the core focal points for cyber threat state actors to pose a threat to data. This is where Cybersecurity Mesh pitches in to set individual perimeters around the weaker nodes, ensuring all-around protection for each access point. Each perimeter is password protected where the level of accessibility can be managed internally while developing any
network or portal. Here, corporations can ask IT- developers to inculcate a robust cybersecurity mesh while working on their IT projects from the initial stages itself. It will mitigate the risk of any device being compromised due to weak access points in case any customized software is being formulated for workforce management or any other purpose. Today, sales and financial techniques, share the same importance with sound security posture, to make difference in your business performance. Nakul puts sheer focus on being efficiently adaptable in today’s scenario by quoting Charles Darwin’s famous statement- “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent one. It’s the most adaptable to change.”
At last, Nakul wanted to conclude by conveying that budding start-ups and SMEs are usually not in the state of adopting any Next-Generation Firewalls (NGFWs) and Advanced Threat Protection services. Insufficient funding has been the foremost reason that impedes the adoption of cybersecurity solutions across the globe, especially in developing companies. These restricted financial capabilities later stimulate huge monetary losses. However, each organization shall be well-equipped against such backdrops as cyber threats have been estimated to scale up in the forthcoming years with technology piercing every aspect of our lives. The ultimate solution to later avoid sobbing over data breaches or ransomware attacks is an efficacious deployment of a robust cybersecurity model.

The Glass game was based on luck. Nonetheless, it teaches an important lesson. Last place does not imply failure. In reality, learning from other people’s mistakes and making better-informed decisions has a benefit. People who are ahead of you may fail first because they were ahead of you and faced problems unprepared. You may always learn and grow from them, making you more prepared and experienced in battle.

The majority of Squid Game participants tried to hurry through every challenge, and they paid a high price for it. We live in a world that demands our undivided attention at all times. Our lives become a sequence of tasks: picking up the kids from school, going to work, paying bills, and repeating the process the next day. Instead of enjoying our meal, we are preoccupied with who will do the dishes. Because of the constant haste, we are forced to think about things before people. While having a plan is crucial, don’t lose sight of the most important aspects of your life: your health and your relationships.
The tug of war was one of the most intriguing games in the Squid Game. Competitors were required to construct a ten-person team and allocate positions depending on their strengths. The game was won by those who chose positions that were compatible with their strengths. The best communicator, for example, was placed first. He was able to keep track of the competition and explain his team’s strategies. You may not be the best communicator on your team, but you can be the most innovative. Always put the appropriate person in the appropriate seat. They will be able to feel fulfilled and provide greater service to your firm.

Increasing sales, particularly online, is a common marketing goal, but the competition may be fierce. It’s difficult to differentiate your brand and stand out when customers have access to thousands upon thousands of goods with only a few clicks,COVID-19’s economic crisis has hastened the migration to digital space and thrown the commercial environment into disarray. Apart from the eCommerce industry, many B2C and B2B players have now understood the importance of adopting a digital-first approach following COVID. As a result, businesses must improve their position and concentrate to boost their online sales.
With a CAGR of 28 percent, online shoppers are predicted to reach over 200 million by 2025, up from 120 million now. Aside from being where your prospects are, another reason to emphasize digital-first marketing is that itspriorities target marketing in a manner that traditional marketing does not.

Customers should understandyour brand, and trust and loyalty should emerge.
Adding videos to your top landing pages might result in an 86 percent boost in conversions. Visual information has a greater effect than a word, and site users are more likely to absorb information from videos than from text.
Pay-per-click (PPC) is amarketing approach in which advertisers are charged a fee each time one of their ads is clicked. It’s essentially a means of purchasing visitors to your website rather than trying to “earn” them organically. Search Engine Advertising is one of the most common types of PPC. When someone searches for a term relating to their company offering, it allows marketers to bid for ad placement in a search engine’s sponsored links.
We must pay a tiny charge to the search engine every time our ad is clicked, resulting in a visitor to our website. When PPC is operating well, the charge is little since the visit is worth more than the amount you spend. In other words, if we pay $3 for a click that leads to a $300 transaction, we’ve profited handsomely.
A well-structured website design is attractive and effective in providing the greatest possible user experience. Big companies spend big money on designing. They’re well aware that it sells better. The way it appears and functions is a big part of why consumers buy from them. A comprehensive awareness of the issues that visitors confront is required when designing an excellent website experience. Websites have evolved into a strong instrument for growing online sales, therefore it’s critical to concentrate on the design of the website while keeping the important components in mind.
You should focus on the Right Placement of Call to Action (CTA) as it will encourage your visitors to buy your deal. You should also think about website headings because Headings lead your visitor across the site, making it simple to scan for material that speaks directly to them. What your potential clients are seeking should be the driving force behind the headlines.
Paid advertising is a great approach to get your business in front of a wide audience while also increasing website traffic. To increase online sales, you may use Google Advertisements or sponsored ads on your social network accounts like Facebook or Instagram. For every business looking to increase its return on investment, social networking is an excellent digital advertising strategy.

According to reports, the automobile sector and other industries may lose a significant part of sales during the festive season due to shortage of chips, leading to shutdown of production lines and supply production remain behind demand. There is a possibility of further climbing during festive Season.
The Covid-19 pandemic, combined with a boom in demand for electronics, caused a global chip shortage. Consumers and corporations began purchasing new laptops and servers to accommodate remote workers and homeschooled children. As a result, while global semiconductor sales fell between 2018 and 2019, they increased by 6.5 percent in 2020. This strong rise has continued in 2021, with sales for May 2021 up 26% over the same period last year, according to trade group the Semiconductor Industry Association.
Aside from the pandemic, other causes contributing to the scarcity include a 50-year-long drought in Taiwan, which has left TSMC and other chipmakers struggling to obtain sufficient amounts of water, which is essential in chip fabrication. “Other occurrences, including factory fires, power outages, and the shipping blockade at the Suez Canal, have slowed supply,” said Shane Rau, a semiconductor analyst at IDC.
• Silicon is the common material used in semiconductors.
• Semiconductors are required in all modern tech devices and components, from cellphones to automobiles.
• Samsung, Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC), Intel, Broadcom, and Nvidia are some of the most well-known semiconductor chip manufacturers.
• Semiconductor chips are the backbone of many industries.
• The United States is the market leader in chip R&D, while Taiwan is the market leader in semiconductor assembly, packaging, and testing. China produces the vast bulk of the world’s chips.
According to Soumitra Bhattacharya, MD of Bosch, the chip scarcity would influence the car market until 2022. According to Bloomberg, carmakers are increasingly omitting high-end features to cope with the chip scarcity.
Consumer goods and smartphone manufacturers, as well as the automobile industry, are under pressure to keep up with rising demand.
Samsung, a South Korean consumer electronics and durables company, recently announced that the chip shortage has impacted its television and appliance output. Apple, LG, and other Chinese electronics and smartphone manufacturers have all been impacted by the chip shortage.
Semiconductor supply was expected to recover by the end of 2021, but analysts anticipate the global chip shortage would continue into the following year, maybe until 2023. According to Malcolm Penn, CEO of industry analysis firm Future Horizons, current capacity investments will not influence for some time. “CapEx is starting to materialize now,” Penn added, “but it takes a year to develop up and kick in.
Since the beginning of the epidemic, many businesses from various industries have expressed their concerns about the situation. Chip demand is outstripping supply, and several automakers and consumer electronics companies throughout the world have announced that production would be harmed.
According to Penn, the last quarter of 2021 will be a major indicator of how long the chip scarcity will last. In Q4, demand tends to slow, which may allow suppliers to catch up on orders. “That slowdown is unlikely to be severe enough to bring supply and demand back into balance,” Penn said, “but if we limp through it, shortages will persist through the first half of 2022 until the current CapEx spend starts to impact supply.” If demand remains strong, “the shortages could easily persist into the first half of 2023.
