What is an e-commerce company made up of? Do you see anything solid? Look closely. I see a web (no puns intended). What else do you see? I see a network of flows. What kind of flows? Product is moving, information is moving, and cash is flowing both ends.
Mr. Sujith Kumar, C.S. Head – H.R. and Administration, Indus Towers Ltd recently addressed the students of SCMS Cochin School of Business where he talked about the highly relevant topic of Big Data In HR.

On the 14th of January, 2016, VGSoM had the privilege of welcoming to the campus Mr. Anupam Dikhit, Industry Manager, Twitter India for an interaction with the students under the Vaarta’ 16 series of guest lectures. Specializing in the digital marketing ecosystem, Mr. Dikhit, who also has the distinction of being chosen as the Economic Times Young Leader in 2012, had a wealth of experience to share with the audience. In what was an exceedingly engaging session, the students gained some valuable exposure to ‘marketing in the moment’, a trend that is taking precedence over conventional marketing mechanisms, and more so in a transforming global market characterized by the customer’s need for relatedness and instant gratification.
A newspaper is an integral part of many people’s lives. It’s so deeply rooted in our lifestyle that even in this age of digitization it has firmly held its share of the market. But have you ever wondered how the newspaper reaches to your doorsteps every morning without fail?
