Foodpanda India has was launched by Rohit Chadda in 2012 along with Akhilesh Bali And Amit Kohli, had received a major management change in March 2015. Now reports have confirmed that the managing director Rohit Chaddha has decided to officially stand down from the company position. In plan to execute his own new mobile based venture, he will continue to be a shareholder and won’t be involved in any regular operations of the company.

Foodpanda Expanding Its Shadow Over TinyOwl

With the aim to enlarge its market place before next years public listing, this online food market hub Foodpanda is all set to get its hands on food ordering app TinyOwl, which is currently Mumbai based. In fact more engaging rumours of Foodpanda looking for more strategic investment in another Bangalore based food app named Swiggy, is encircling the e-market. But recently the co-founder of Swiggy Nandan Reddy, clarified that no such technology integration will take place between these two companies.

Foodpanda is hunting for profitable market share and looks to fasten the core of its base, this will make it more substantial and efficient competitor of Zomato. For the time being, Foodpanda is aptly pumped up with fresh new funds of approx $110 million from the efficient Rocket Internet. On the other hand, TinyOwl is struggling to keep with any kind of fresh funding. Earlier this year, it has collected almost around $20 million, which was led by Sequoia. Adding to that TinyOwl has already spent huge cash in advertising and promotions. It recently comprises of 4,000 restaurants and recently initiated its services in Hyderabad, Pune, Gurgaon and Bengaluru. It is also targeting to increase its presence in 50 major cities by the end of 2015.

The Fierce Competition

According to an anonymous investor, the food tech sphere is already getting too crowded with players playing the same game. There are only three dominant competitors in the market, Zomato, Foodpanda and Swiggy in the current segment. As TinyOwl is finding difficulty in raising sufficient funds, this segment will experience major merger. With reference to 2014 Tracxn, the food ordering market that is blooming with over 120 odd start ups that are all fighting for that piece of cake of ₹89,500-crore market. Out of these giant players almost 60 lead up in 2014 alone. In such ferocious scenario, this major alliance is imminent. Last year in November, Tasty Khan and Just Eat In February both were acquired by Foodpanda. Zomato is also creating lot of buzz by capturing minority stakes in food ordering firms. Thus, the tooth and nail fight in this food delivery space is getting thick by each passing day in India.

All thanks to stores like Clovia, Zivame, Amante, La Senza etc, who have been catering to women innerwear needs full fledgedly. Its obvious to open any site and come across pictures of bikini models wearing top lingerie and smiling elegantly at you.

It won’t be wrong to say that Indian women have had a very complicated relationship with brassiere. Some perpetual advertisement might state that we Indians have discovered the bra quite late, but we have contradicting historical evidences that state, during the reign of King Harshavardhan, women use to wear bras in the first century. Going by any of our statues and art work, you can trace women wearing bra like clothing.

But modern history states that a bra is not related to Indian costume. We adorned a fabric that was draped around our upper body and over one shoulder. This would later turn into a saree. Later we invented blouses which had triangular darts, that hold us in proper position. You can also show your gratitude to British, our own colonisers, for introducing the concept of brassier to us and imply their so called ‘modesty’ upon us in the most civilised manner. Taking in account all  these things that is linked to our clothing and culture, the bra seems to be shining as the most the status of women in our country.

Her social and financial freedom results in her confident endeavour and strong lingerie choices. This resulting in several creative bra ads that urges women to go bold and innovate themselves with pushups, crossbacks, lace, polka dots etc.

They are changing their habits very dramatically. Now-a-days women are not compromising with their look by wearing a low quality bra under a perfectly styled dress. They are not hesitating in spending huge cash on innerwear; it could be strapless push up for a more refined look or a seamless bra to be worn under t-shirts or an inexplicable pant that gets rid of all the bulges effortlessly.

Women want it all from style to proper function to fit important occasions. Some of the top demand category is shape wears. They are perfect 9 to 6 solution for working women, who try on western attires to their offices daily. But for women who love to go traditionally, there are gazillion options for them to get their hands on.

It seems that Indian women have cracked opened Victoria secret wide and have opened their minds, purses and wardrobe to unique lingerie that’s specifically designed for more than just a supporting agent. In fact bra with a safety hand is also there to hide away your valuable cash is a fantastic opportunity for  women. They opt for lingerie that is not only sensual but also attractive, occasionally or regularly. There is a mark of clear change that is so apparent in what women of today want and also in how they buy. Women don’t mind in turning into a smuggler when it come to lingerie purchase

From their shopping purchase trend, you can see that she may spent an approx of  Rs 600 on a top, but she won’t shy away from buying a lingerie of Rs 2000 or more. If believed the studies, a women biggest fashion purchase is a bra. This keeps online lingerie stores standing on their toes. Several online stores like Clovia help women openly state what they desire from their lingerie. In fact you can come across Adamante ads, that speak of bras as our ‘boyfriends’ with their campaign like ‘Break Up With The Wrong Bra’. They have also pointed out domestic violence and abuse with their advertising through catchy headlines like ‘It all begins with nicks and cuts’, ‘Suffocation is the worst kind of abuse’, ‘How much longer will you adjust’, ‘Every woman deserves to be held right’.

Amazon Gears Up For Indian War Zone

Apart from the heat and pollution, there must be something very special about India, that the foreign business giants are so eager to invest here. With Amazon turning 20 last week, its agenda of making India its largest market outside USA, is gaining quick momentum. Amazon has successfully completed two years in india, here its business is now worth at least $2 billion in gross merchandise value on the e-commerce side, and includes fast-growing revenue from top Amazon Web Services (AWS) customers in the country.

Cleopatra - The Egyptian Queen Who Dimensioned Make Up

According to a study of some researchers, eyeliner was applied 4,000 years ago in by Egyptians to ward off infections. The “smokey eye” look was invented by Egyptian Queen Cleopatra, the most desirable woman in history. It was when Cleopatra grabbed the title of Queen, all the egyptian women had at their disposal a whole range of cosmetics, all of which were either made from minerals, rocks or plants.

Due to hot drying climate and sand waves, Egyptian people applied a substance that softened the skin as well as benefitted it. Egyptian make up not only enhanced its features but also ward of unnecessary evils (basically eye infections and poor eyesight). The lead salt substance in the makeup protected against eye diseases. In fact at a minute level, salts produce nitric oxide, which boosts their immune system to fight of bacterias. It took a month to concoct Cleopatra’s make up.

Eyes

Cleopatra used dark shades of blue and green too decorate her eyes. Kohl was used to outline eyes, by creating a mesmerised almond eye look. At that time, kohl was made up of burned almonds, lead, soot, copper and other ingredients including galena.

Lips

She used to use a rogue stain on her lips and cheeks. According to some sources, Cleopatra’s lipstick was made of ants eggs and carmine beetles, which when crushed together gave a red colour.

Hairs And Nails

Henna was used to colour her hairs and nails for its cleansing and cooling properties. Its usage was considered aa a rich status symbol.

How To Do Cleopatra Like Eye Make Up?

• Step 1. Clean the area around the eyes with a nice cleanser and remove any old make up.
• Step 2. Finely rub a good quality primer on each eyelid in and up to the the brow bone area.
• Step 3. Apply a matte dark coloured eyeshadow with an angled brush and softly brush a darker shades on your eyebrows.
• Step 4. Start from the inner corner of your eye and apply a black liquid eyeliner on your lash line perfectly. Make a thin line all the way to your outer edge. Repeat this on your lower lash line.
• Step 5. Carefully elongate this black line about half an inch more towards the outer edge of your eye.Taper it gradually, so that it looks like sideways triangle. Curl up the tip of the triangle slightly in the upward direction.
• Step 6. Sizzle some blue or aqua liquid eyeshadow on your both eyelids. Cover the entire eyelid area. Apply some more shadow on to your brow bone.
• Step 7. Apply double coat of dark black mascara to your upper as well as  lower eyelashes.

I guess, Cleopatra stands as a perfect epitome of beauty that used her cosmetics not simply for beauty’s sake, but for certain benefits that female beauty might also bring. With witty Julius Caesar as her lover and, later, powerful Marc Antony as her husband, Cleopatra controlled Egypt’s power along with that of Rome. In today's world, a woman has multiple choices in cosmetics to choose from, with varied colours and uses. One of my favourite online websites that gives cosmetics of widest brands and amazing prices is Purplle from where one can buy the products and save money with free Purplle discount coupons.

Paytm Appeals In RBI Court For Mobile Wallet Limit Hike

From what goes on in the market, it seems that, cash went out of fashion ages ago. Companies are bending over backwards to find ways for us to make payments. Instead of relying on credit or debit cards, now you can make every payments through a virtual wallet.

What Is A Virtual Wallet?

Basically, it’s a home to your online money. You make payments through money stored in your wallet without practicing your credit, debit card or net banking. Once you've stored the money in a wallet, you can use it to make payments - to the wallet provider or to third party services depending on the type of wallet. Some wallet services such as Paytm are built around their own stores where you can buy goods, recharges for your phone or pay your DTH bill. You can also use these wallets to make payments at other websites - BookMyShow and JustEat.in both support Paytm.

Why Paytm Wants To Increase The Wallet Limit?

In the fast paced life of major metro and urban cities, a consumer’s cost of living and mobile penetration is erupting very high. Due to which nowadays, customers are crossing the rupees 10,000 limit set by central bank. Half a million Paytm customer spend more than 10K , which might inflame to a million in uprising times. This results in a crazy demand for Paytm offers and coupons.

According to Economics Times, around 85 million curious patrons use Paytm mobile wallet, for the effective transaction of huge money. Adding to that, in the month of March this year, credit and debit cards issued by all banks witnessed 150 million transactions. The founder of Paytm Vijay Shekhar Sharma confirmed that the comparable figures for the same month for Paytm were 75 million. Therefore, Paytm has requested RBI to increase the wallet limit from Rs 10,000 to Rs 25,000.

How Would It Benefit Paytm?

In accordance with legitimate RBI norms, for a customer to hold 10K in a mobile wallet, a very minute details like a mobile number and email verification is sufficient. But for anything higher, a full KYC, just like in a bank account, is obligatory. But Paytm officials believe that it could exceed to 25K, which might make its volume of transactions to overtake all POS transactions put together by the end of this year. Paytm vision sketches itself, as india’s largest consumer facing platform with a mobile marketplace that aims to have half a billion Indians on the Paytm platform before 2020. Market rivals like MobiKwik and Oxigen have stood in support to enhance the mobile wallet limit.

Challenges

Banks which have done a full KYC of their valued customers, have also started providing mobile wallets, which gives them an extra edge unlike those of mobile wallet providers. For example, HDFC Bank, have started marketing this as key advantage over third party mobile providers.

Dominos Follows You Wherever You Go

Dominos is the largest pizza retail chain in India, presently working in 199 cities and having more than 800 restaurants and delivery outlets, it is the very first preference of many Indian customers while ordering pizzas.

Dominos constantly work to improve their services and keeping the Indian travellers in mind and to bring the more variety to their existing menu, it now offering pizzas on train as well which enable customers to order their favourite pizzas on their journey and get it delivered at your seat.

Recently there is a pact signed by Indian railways and Jubilant Food Works Ltd,  the parent company of Dominos in India on a temporarily basis to provide pizzas and other beverages in Indian trains which don’t have pantry cars. This service will enable train passengers to order and enjoy hot and crispy pizzas at his or her seat while travelling. Dominos is famous for its crispy pizza products of many sizes and crust types but you can also purchase boneless wings and chicken, pasta, sandwiches, desserts, appetisers and many other food and drink products.This service was initially available in 120 trains and at 12 major stations named as New Delhi, Alwar, Agra, Jaipur, Jalandhar, Ambala, Mathura, Pathankot, Muzzafarnagar, Vadodara, Bharuch, Vapi. At this time this service is limited to trains which don’t have pantry cars but in coming days Dominos have plans to extend this service to 120 more trains and many other railway stations.

Presently customers can avail this service by simply order their food by phone call, by sending SMS or by using IRCTC website.

If you are using Phone call:
1800-1034-139 (toll-free)

This service is just like home delivery but passengers have to order two hours before the train’s scheduled arrival at the station to avail this service.With thousands of complaints register on a daily basis about food served in trains, this fantabulous service offered by Dominos is surely a saviour to many passengers. Although this food providing business in trains is very new and unique but it not gives any much profit to Dominos yet. Just 350 orders have been placed in the past four months whereas Dominos manages these orders successfully without any hassle.

Profit or no profit but this service may trigger a start of new business model in India as after the Dominos, many other food providers like KFC, Pizza hut, Subway and other food chains also tries to negotiate with the IRCTC to offer the same service to Indian commuters.
