The future of consumer behaviour and brand strategy post covid 19

 World has been disrupted by Covid-19 affecting lives and livelihood. This paper intends to portray how in pre-covid-19, the consumer’s awareness and technology leveraged the markets for both good and services, increased competition as market players started using various platforms such as e-commerce,  m-commerce, s-commerce. 

While during covid, markets have shrunk to bare minimal, the world is already prepared to bounce back mainly because world and India are technologically well prepared to serve the market in various platforms which covid cannot destroy. As the new forms of markets are emerging, market leaders are also changing strategies of branding, creating brand values to be in the fore front and build trust among the techno savvy aware consumer. Yet keeping up in the fore front of creating brand image needs collaboration of a number of experts such as strategist, supply chain experts, scientist and big data analysts. 

This has been possible in pre-corvid situation and will be carried on in post covid period also. The paper is based on the observations made by leading market research organisations.

Mountains of food stock goes waste : Another instance of government inefficiency!

Look at government inefficiency, food prices have galloped at an alarming rate over the last few months. Some blame it on the poor monsoons. Some blame it on hoarding by greedy middlemen. In my opinion, the government unknowingly itself is a massive hoarder. As per a report in a financial daily, the stock of rice and wheat in government granaries is way above the minimum requirement.

This is the view of the man who pioneered the retailing boom in India - Mr. Kishore Biyani, the founder of India’s largest retailing company - Pantaloon. In an article in the Wall street Journal, Mr. Biyani wrote, "Almost daily doses of bad news on television screens and newspapers have possibly done as much damage to the economy as the events on either side of the Atlantic."

Consider some statistics he has provided. The share of the national income represented by proprietor-run concerns and partnerships is 35%. The share of companies is around 15%, government around 25%, and agriculture around 25%. Combine agriculture and the self-employed in industry a...
