It also added that the financial sector faces a mixed outlook with falling interest rates anticipated to narrow bank profit margins, potentially leading to smaller dividend payouts for shareholders. Yet, regulatory easing could provide relief, with the Basel III endgame likely seeing further delays, softening the impact on banking institutions amid a challenging economic landscape. For the consumer goods and retailing the report added that the Global retail volumes are forecast to grow by 2.2 per cent in 2025, thanks to easing inflation. However, stricter regulations on online retailing will target high-volume, low-price retailers, to ensure fair competition and consumer protection.

The electric two-wheeler maker said it has initiated a network partner programme aimed at taking EV sales further into tier-2 and tier-3 cities, including urban pockets where EV penetration remains low. Under the initiative, the company has reportedly on-boarded 625 partners to expand its sales footprint across India, it said in a statement. The company further plans to have 1,000 partners ahead of the festive season this year, it added. <div type="twitter" handle="bhash" handlename="bhash" favoritecount="0" retweetcount="0" id="1839215479480549447"></div> Ola Electric said it aggressively plans to expand its network by on-boarding 10,000 partners, across sales and service, by the end of 2025. This, the company claims will give it an edge over its competitors. The company currently has around 800 company-owned stores, and with the network partner programme, it will have nearly 1,800 sales and service touch points ahead of the upcoming festive season. "Our D2C model has been extremely successful in driving sustainable business growth. The Network Partner Program will further amplify the benefits of our D2C network as it requires limited capital investment from partners and can be scaled up really fast," Ola Electric Chairman and MD Bhavish Aggarwal stated. While the company-owned stores will be the anchors of sales and service network, this programme will be instrumental in expanding the EV footprint deeper into the urban and rural markets, he added. "We will continue to expand and invest in our front-end network to accelerate EV adoption to #EndICEAge, and by the end of next year, will have 10,000 Network Partners across the country," Aggarwal said. Ola Electric sells electric scooters and bikes priced from ₹74,999 to ₹1,99,999. Ola Electric reported a sale of 27,506 units in August 2024, up from 18,749 vehicles sold in August 2023, reporting a 46.7% year-on-year growth. This is however lower than its July 2024 sales of 41,711 vehicles.

It aims to provide issuers with flexibility in raising funds for projects that align with environmental, social, and governance (ESG) objectives. In a consultation paper released on Friday, SEBI proposed that issuers, in addition to existing green debt securities, should be allowed to raise funds through issuance of social bonds, sustainable bonds, and sustainability-linked bonds. These bonds will collectively be known as ESG Debt Securities. This will enable issuers to raise money for more sustainable projects, assisting in closing the funding gap for the Sustainable Development Goals. SEBI said it received representations from market participants including the Confederation of Indian Industry to expand the scope of the regulatory framework pertaining to sustainable finance to include social bonds, in addition to existing green debt securities as a mode of raising sustainable finance, in line with global practices. As per the consultation paper, SEBI said, it "proposed to introduce the concept of sustainable securitised debt instruments for the purpose of providing originators of the underlying credit facilities which are within such international or domestic frameworks for sustainable finance, and thereby provide investors as well an opportunity to participate in the sustainable securitised debt instruments". The consultation paper also addressed the initial and continuous disclosures for sustainable securitised debt instruments that would be based on international frameworks. Initial disclosures could be made in the offer document for the securities, while continuous disclosures might be included in annual reports or other mandated formats. The markets watchdog also suggested that issuers of ESG debt securities and sustainable securitised debt instruments appoint an independent external reviewer or certifier, to facilitate transparency and credibility. The review could take various forms including, second-party opinions, verification, certification, or scoring/ rating.

PTI reports that the company is actively seeking additional office space to support its expanding operations in the country, as revealed by Salesforce’s Chief Operating Officer, <keyword id="23233615" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="brian-millham" source="keywords">Brian Millham</keyword>, during an interview on Wednesday. Salesforce currently operates major centres in <keyword id="19895037" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bengaluru" source="keywords">Bengaluru</keyword> and Hyderabad, which are integral to the company’s global functions. However, the company is now looking to scale up even further. "We are searching for new office spaces in India as part of our expansion strategy," Millham told PTI. He talked about the critical role that the Indian workforce plays in supporting Salesforce’s worldwide operations. In addition to its role as a key hub for global operations, Salesforce’s business serving the Indian market has experienced unprecedented growth. For two years running, the company's Indian arm has been the fastest-growing among all the countries it operates in, making it a significant driver of Salesforce’s overall success. “India has delivered extraordinary growth for us,” Millham noted, adding that the rapid expansion of its employee base in the country is equally impressive. "What we see in terms of employee contribution here is remarkable, and it’s a key part of our global strategy," he said, highlighting the dual importance of both growth and talent coming from India. <div type="Article" hostid="261" msid="113054026" title="Salesforce joins the AI race, announces plans to acquire AI startup Tenyx" mstype="2" mssubtype="0"></div> Salesforce’s commitment to India is further reinforced by plans to continue investing in its innovation hubs located in Bengaluru and Hyderabad. Srini Tallapragada, the company’s Chief of Engineering, elaborated on these plans, stating that these centres will be central to the company’s innovation efforts moving forward. Arundhati Bhattacharya, the Chairperson and CEO of <keyword id="4767524" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="salesforce-india" source="Orion">Salesforce India</keyword>, shared further insights into the company’s growth trajectory. She revealed that the number of Salesforce employees in India has more than doubled over the past two years, surpassing 13,000. While she stopped short of providing exact targets for future hiring, Bhattacharya indicated that the company plans to keep adding talent based on market demand. Bhattacharya also clarified that Salesforce does not approach its Indian workforce from a cost-saving perspective. Instead, the company focuses on the abundant talent available in the country. "We don't see any talent shortages here, and we’re committed to growing our team in India," she said. Additionally, Salesforce has been working to expand its ecosystem in India through various initiatives. One key initiative includes nurturing over 2 million "Trailblazers" — Salesforce-certified professionals in the country. Another major effort is a partnership with the All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE), through which Salesforce plans to train more than 200,000 individuals via internships. This initiative is part of the company’s broader strategy to grow a skilled workforce capable of driving innovation and supporting Salesforce’s growing influence in the Indian market.

<keyword id="19896956" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="swiggy" source="keywords">Swiggy</keyword>'s quick commerce platform, <keyword id="19939135" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="swiggy-instamart" source="keywords">Swiggy Instamart</keyword>, is expanding its reach across India, bringing its services to a total of 43 cities. The platform, which promises delivery of daily essentials in just 10 minutes, has recently launched in 11 new cities over the past two months, including Rajkot, Thrissur, <keyword id="19936741" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="mangalore" source="keywords">Mangalore</keyword>, Kanpur, Udaipur, Warangal, Salem, Amritsar, <keyword id="19967908" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="bhopal" source="keywords">Bhopal</keyword>, Varanasi, and Ludhiana. This marks a significant push into Tier 2 and 3 cities, reflecting the company’s strategy to grow beyond its strong presence in metropolitan areas. In these new locations, customers can order a wide variety of items, including groceries, electronics, beauty products, and home supplies, all delivered within a 10-minute timeframe. One of the key elements of Swiggy Instamart’s growth strategy is its partnership with local vendors and brands, ensuring that customers in each city have access to regionally relevant products. In Mangalore, for instance, popular local names like Narans Foods and Ideal Icecream are now available on the platform. In Bhopal, customers can order from local brands such as Top N Town Breads and Andaah, while residents in Thrissur can find products from Milma Milk and Navua Bakers. This localised approach has helped the company attract a broader customer base, catering to regional tastes while maintaining the convenience of quick commerce. The company says that it has seen positive results from its recent expansion into these smaller markets. In Mangalore, one of the newly launched cities, a Swiggy Instamart store reached 1,000 orders in a single day faster than in many larger cities. Thrissur also set a benchmark by processing over 1,000 orders in just four minutes. Even in challenging weather conditions, such as the rain in Bhopal, the platform maintained full service availability, with 40% of orders being delivered on time despite adverse conditions. Swiggy Instamart’s CEO, <keyword id="22954620" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="amitesh-jha" source="keywords">Amitesh Jha</keyword>, noted the strong response from these smaller cities, stating that the enthusiastic demand has encouraged the platform to continue its expansion. "Users across India already recognize the convenience Swiggy provides," he said in a press release and added, "The enthusiastic demand from smaller towns and cities has been incredibly encouraging. Our expansion into these new locations marks a significant milestone, allowing even more people to experience the ease of having thousands of products—from everyday essentials to electronics and toys—delivered in just 10 minutes from both national and local brands." Looking ahead, Swiggy Instamart plans to deepen its presence in Tier 2 and 3 markets by expanding its network of dark stores—small, dedicated storage facilities used for rapid delivery. This move will help the platform manage the expected rise in demand during the upcoming festive season, a time when quick commerce services tend to see a spike in orders.

These contracts, which span a period of three years, are a crucial part of the company's Rs 55,000 crore capital expenditure (capex) plan. The investment will focus on expanding 4G coverage, launching 5G services, and meeting the growing demand for data in India. The debt-laden telecom operator announced the deal as it strives to regain market share in an increasingly competitive industry. Vodafone Idea has faced financial difficulties since its merger in 2018 between Vodafone Group's Indian arm and Aditya Birla Group's Idea Cellular. Since then, the company has struggled to compete with larger rivals such as <keyword id="19951944" type="General" weightage="20" keywordseo="Bharti-Airtel" source="keywords" meta.keywordsubtype="org" meta.entityname="Bharti Airtel" meta.hostid="261" meta.entityid="Bharti Airtel">Bharti Airtel</keyword> and Reliance Jio, both of which have made significant inroads into India’s telecom market. The Rs 30,000 crore deal with Nokia, Ericsson, and Samsung is expected to provide Vodafone Idea with the necessary equipment to expand its 4G coverage from 1.03 billion to 1.2 billion people, as well as initiate the rollout of 5G services in key markets. The company confirmed that supplies under the new contract would begin arriving in the next quarter. In a statement, Vodafone Idea said that its primary goal is to enhance 4G connectivity across India while simultaneously preparing to introduce 5G technology. ""Vodafone Idea has concluded a mega, about USD 3.6 billion (around Rs 300 billion), deal with Nokia, Ericsson and Samsung for supply of network equipment over a period of three years. The capex programme is directed towards expanding the 4G population coverage from 1.03 billion to 1.2 billion, launching 5G in key markets and capacity expansion in line with data growth," the company said in a statement. Akshaya Moondra, CEO of Vodafone Idea, said as per a Livemint report, “"We have kickstarted the investment cycle. We are on our journey of VIL 2.0 and from hereon, VIL will stage a smart turnaround to effectively participate in the industry growth opportunities. Nokia and Ericsson have been our partners since our inception and this marks another milestone in that continuing partnership. We are pleased to start our new partnership with Samsung. We look forward to work closely with all our partners as we move into the 5G era." (With Reuters and PTI inputs)
