Analytical CRM involves analyzing customer data from various sources to gain insights into customer needs, behaviors, and preferences. This allows companies to design targeted marketing campaigns, customer retention strategies, and make management decisions. Analytical CRM uses data mining and predictive modeling to segment customers, identify the most profitable, and optimize cross-selling and upselling opportunities. When implemented effectively over time, analytical CRM can help companies acquire new customers, improve relationships with existing customers, increase loyalty, and reduce customer churn.

COSLA Ch 5 Creating Long Term Loyalty Relationships v79 Ezekiel CastroEzekiel Castro
Customers are value maximizers who form expectations of value from products and services. Companies can deliver customer value, satisfaction, and loyalty by meeting and exceeding customer expectations through quality and relationship marketing. Marketing managers should understand customer lifetime value by calculating revenue over the lifetime of customer relationships minus acquisition and retention costs. They can maximize lifetime value by implementing customer relationship management to gain customer insights and target the right customers. Database marketing has pros like identifying prospects and targeting offers but also cons like privacy risks, so managers must consider its appropriateness for different products and customers.
The document discusses how a product information management (PIM) system can help retailers manage product data across sales channels. It notes that maintaining consistent product data is challenging for retailers today. A PIM system allows retailers to centralize product data from all sources, standardize formats, and automate publishing to different channels. This helps improve customer experience and sales potential by ensuring accurate data is consistently presented everywhere. The document advocates that a PIM system is necessary for retailers to efficiently manage product information across an omnichannel business.
Demand Metric's Playbooks provide frameworks with links to actionable research, tools, templates and training to help organizations operationalize best practices for Marketing.
A CRM strategy must look holistically at all the business processes and systems that deal with customers, including marketing, sales, ordering, customer care, technical support, customer analytics, and so on. And when implemented, it should span all interaction channels, including call centers, retail, web, mobile, etc. It should be optimized so that it’s integrated into all of these consumer touch points.
As in any initial strategy, it’s critical you do the research to make sure you are very clear about what your key objects are going to be, both short and long term. Once you have your strategy set, then you can start to think about what software would be necessary, and from there planning and implementation.
Above all, remember that the customer should be at the heart of your strategy, not your product or service. This can mean a complete change in thinking some cases, but it’s an important shift that your entire team can get behind from the start.

THE GROWTH ANALYSIS OF UNIFIED PAYMENTS INTERFACE (UPI) IN INDIA.docxVARUN KESAVAN
Interoperability among “payment systems in India has facilitated unparalleled ease of transactions while robust customer protection measures have made India’s retail payment system one of the safest in the world.
Unified Payments Interface (UPI) is a mobile-based, 365x24x7 ‘fast payment’ system launched in August 2016 which allows users to send and receive money instantly using a Virtual Payment Address (VPA) set by the user itself. The unique feature of VPA-based transaction is that it obviates the need for sharing account or bank details to the remitter. It supports person-to-person (P2P) and person-to-merchant (P2M) payments which can be used over a smart phone (app-based) or a feature phone (USSD8-based), and at merchant location/website. It facilitates immediate money transfer through both ‘pull’ and ‘push’ payments.
Non-financial transactions, such as balance enquiry, can also be carried out using UPI. It powers multiple bank accounts into a single mobile application of any participating bank/non-bank Third Party Application Provider (TPAP). Funds can also be transferred through UPI using account number with and IFSC (Indian Financial System Code) of the bank branch. The UPI 2.0 was launched in August 2018, which enabled users to link their Overdraft accounts to UPI VPA. Users are also able to pre-authorise transactions by issuing a mandate for specific merchant for a one-time payment. There’s also an added feature of AutoPay facility for recurring payments.
The framework of UPI comprises NPCI as switching and settlement service provider and banks as Payment System Providers (PSPs) – as issuer banks and beneficiary banks. Additionally, it can also have Third Party Application Providers (TPAP) such as Google Pay. Transactions are carried out through mobile devices with two-factor authentication using device binding and UPI PIN as security. Currently, the per transaction limit is INR 0.2 million.
UPI has attracted participation from a number of FinTech players. As against banks, it is the non-bank players who have made good use of the openness of UPI architecture, which allows any entity’s mobile application to be used for doing UPI transactions. Since its humble beginning in 2016, UPI has become one of the most popular payment products in India. Convenience of remembering and sharing a simple UPI VPA may have added to its popularity”.
On the whole we can observe there is a significant increase in the number of UPI transactions both in terms of volume and in terms of value. Similarly, from 17.86 million transactions in financial year 2016 – 2017 to 22,330.65 million transactions in the year 2021 – 2022 with the CAGR of 228%. Similarly with reference to value of transactions there is a increase in the value of transactions from Rs. 69.47 billion transactions in the year 2016 – 2017 to Rs. 41,036.54 billion transactions in the year 2021 – 2022 with the CAGR of 190%. UPI is going to be a catalyst in the retail payments sector in India.
WILL ROBOTS REDUCE OR INCREASE HUMAN EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES?VARUN KESAVAN
According to Binus Square Student Committee, Technology is disrupting the economy at many levels, and many worry about losing their jobs to automation. The truth is that this isn’t anything new—we’ve been through this already with the Industrial Revolution.
Back then, employees also thought there would be no room for humans at work. Machines were taking over, and their jobs were less valuable every day. But humans are still part of the equation; machines didn’t replace us—we use them to make our jobs more productive.
Today, we can expect a significant change in the way we handle our work, and we’ll probably have to learn new skills to future-proof our lives. The only difference between the previous industrial revolutions and today’s robotics revolution is the speed at which it is taking place.
According to a recent Oxford study, there will be 14 million robots in China’s workforce within the next 11 years. Artificial Intelligence, machine learning and robotics are accelerating the pace of automation in the workspace. However, there will always be jobs for humans. Now, let’s explore whether robots will reduce human employment or not.
GLOBAL TOURISM SECTOR TO SUFFER $1.2 TRILLION DUE TO COVID-19 PANDEMICVARUN KESAVAN
Global tourism sector is set to lose at least $1.2 trillion due to the spread of coronavirus. Let's take a look at the impact.
The world's tourism sector could lose at least $1.2 trillion or 1.5 per cent of the global gross domestic product (GDP), having been on a standstill for nearly four months due to the coronavirus pandemic. The loss could rise to $2.2 trillion or 2.8 per cent of the world's GDP if the break in international tourism lasts for eight months, in line with the expected decline in tourism as projected by the UN World Tourism Organisation.
In the most pessimistic scenario, a 12-month break in international tourism would incur an estimated losses of $3.3 trillion or 4.2 per cent of global GDP. In absolute terms, the world's largest trading economies, USA and China would face the largest declines in GDP, in the moderate scenario.
Negative employment and wage effects would be highest in countries reliant on tourism. The steepest drops are estimated in Thailand (-12 per cent), Jamaica (-11 per cent), and Croatia (-9 per cent).
In the long run, the World Travel & Tourism Council anticipates that the international tourism sector will likely return to pre-pandemic levels within a 19-month period.

When Swiggy came to the market, the food delivery sector already had applications like Foodpanda, Tinyowl, and Ola Café. Foodpanda and Tinyowl were later acquired by Ola Cabs and Zomato respectively and Ola café later got closed. While all these companies were struggling, Swiggy already had around 100 restaurants on board, with around 70,000 orders monthly. They also received a cheque of $2 million from Accel and SAIF Partners in the year 2015. This is how the company began with a kick start.

India's electrical machinery and equipment has 40 per cent dependence on imports from China. However this number has reduced from 59.5 per cent in FY18 to 40 per cent in FY19. Although India has increased production of low-end electronic components. Import dependency on China is its major limitation.
Solar cells and modules which absorb sunlight to generate electricity are imported from China. As per a report from HDFC Bank, India's solar industry has 80 per cent dependence on Chinese manufacturers for solar products. As a result projects could be delayed in the next 4-6 months.
Consumer durables are the products that have a long use life such as air conditioners, refrigerators, and other household appliances. Around 45 per cent of consumer durables are imported from China. Currently an inventory for 2-3 months is being maintained by companies but the impact of the virus outbreak could be felt from Mar-Apr 20. Prices of these goods could rise in near future, according to the report.
Automobile sector, which accounts for 7.5 per cent of India's GDP and a massive 49 per cent of the manufacturing GDP, is already facing slowdown. The coronavirus lockdown has made the situation worse for the auto sector as 10 to 30 per cent of automotive components are supplied from China. If factories do not resume activity in China, it could adversely affect the sector.
Tourism sector comprises a broad chain of services such as tickets and booking, transportation, hotels, food and beverages. Since 2011, tourists from China visiting India were growing at 11% annually. China accounted for 3% of total foreign tourist arrivals in 2019.
HOW CEMENT INDUSTRY CAN BE THE BOOSTER ENGINE FOR INDIA?VARUN KESAVAN
1) The Indian cement industry is the second largest in the world in terms of production, but per capita consumption is still low at under 200kg compared to the world average of 500kg.
2) There has been consolidation in the industry with big players acquiring smaller regional cement companies. Cement companies operate by focusing on either quality or price.
3) Cement advertising now focuses more on emotional connections with consumers rather than just functional benefits due to information overload.
4) Government infrastructure projects and the housing sector are expected to drive demand growth, increasing per capita cement consumption to 435kg by 2030 and enabling an 82% expansion in production capacity.
ROBOTS AND HUMANS: COMBINED CAPABILITY WILL ENABLE BUSINESSES DELIVER UNEXPEC...VARUN KESAVAN
The last few years have seen a significant infusion of robots in various industries. This trend is expected to continue in the next 3-5 years. Almost 1 million robots are expected to be sold for enterprise use in 2020. There are primarily 3 types of robots - industrial, professional services and software robots.
Professional service robots (e.g., those used in healthcare, retail industries) and software robots (e.g., those used in functions such as Finance, HR, Procurement) will comprise a significant portion of these new robot sales. The market for professional services and software robots is growing much faster than that for industrial robots.
As the use of robots, increase in non-manufacturing industries, the companies which are able to combine the uniquely native human capabilities (e.g., inspiration, aspiration, emotion, empathy, imagination) with powerful robot capabilities (e.g., accurate transaction processing) will be able to re-imagine their business processes and deliver better and newer business outcomes for their stakeholders.
THE WAYS IN WHICH GEO -ENGINEERING COULD TRANSFORM THE ENVIRONMENTVARUN KESAVAN
Varun Kesavan discusses how geoengineering could be used to address the climate emergency. Specifically, solar radiation management techniques like stratospheric aerosol injection aim to reflect sunlight back into space to cool the planet. While once dismissed, major universities are now researching geoengineering due to the urgent threat of climate change. However, the large-scale effects are still uncertain and it may discourage climate action or have unintended impacts if halted. Overall, geoengineering shows potential to significantly benefit society and the environment according to studies, despite some risks, and could provide time to further address the root causes of climate change.
THE WAYS IN WHICH AUTOMATION REVOLUSIONS THE MANAGEMENT STRATEGYVARUN KESAVAN
Business strategy is being revolutionised by advances in automation technologies and management must follow. Management beliefs and practices must evolve with the new ways of production, distribution and consumption. Businesses are beginning to accept the inevitability of tech-enabled processes and tech-determined choices.
Industry 4.0 is about autonomy of machines. Advances in sensors, communication, computation, robotics, GPS etc have created possibilities of infusing machines with intelligence to automate both work and management. Machines are already collecting and sorting information, and management mostly involves dealing with people and making decisions. As Industry 4.0 evolves, a lot of decision-making will also be transferred to machines. But, it is not clear yet how machines will share ethical and legal responsibility for their actions.
THE SMES IN 2020: B2B PAYMENTS, DATA PRIVACY AMONG MAJOR PROBLEMS TO STAY IN ...VARUN KESAVAN
Several B2B payments and lending companies, over the last one year, emerged with solutions around banking, expense management, accounting/book-keeping, and Accounts Payable/Accounts Receivable (AP/AR) automation.
Slowly, but steadily, businesses are adopting software-as-a-service (SaaS) tools to manage their businesses better and move towards real digitisation away from manual and clunky processes to more elegant and friction-free processes.
Investors have taken notice of this opportunity in the B2B space and have stepped up their investments. A recent report by Venture Intelligence said that B2B fintech has secured $657 million in India so far this year, compared to $617 million by B2C fintech. Keeping this business payments transformation in mind, here are the top five topics that will be in the limelight in 2020:

Rand Fishkin of Sparktoro broke the news about the Google API Leaks in May 2023. Mike King from iPullRank did what he does best—dissected everything from the leaks. How big was the leak? Around 2,600 pages of leaked internal documentation describing different components of Google's ranking systems and 14,000 attributes or features represented in the documentation.
Here’s why this is important
SEO has evolved dramatically over the last 27 years. Companies like Google have built entire businesses around search, and Google has become the unquestioned leader in search. All
this is starting to change—thanks to GenAI.
Ever since Google started building a search engine, it has shared best practices. But it has never revealed anything more—no algorithms or APIs. That changed recently with this leak.
This matters to you
This checklist matters to entrepreneurs, content creators, website owners, brand managers,
PR professionals, marketing analysts, and SEO professionals.
Understanding how the algorithm works today can help you maintain your competitive edge, optimize opportunities, mitigate risks due to these changes, and make informed decisions on your digital strategy.
This checklist is based on everything I learned from listening to two hour-long webinars Rand and Mike hosted recently.
