INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

India’s current account deficit or CAD in April-June widened to 4.9 % of gross domestic product. High imports of gold and oil led to a worsening of the traqde deficit, resulting in CAD jumping to $ 21.8 billion to the latest quarter from $ 16.9 billion in the corresponding quarter of the previous financial year. The government aims to bring down CAD to 3.7 % or $ 70 billion, in 2013/14, from 4.8 % or $ 88.2 billion in 2012/13.

 

The finance ministry has started preparations for Budget 2014/15. With general elections scheduled to be held by May next year, there will only be an interim budget. The new government will present the fiscal Budget.

Mumbai has been named the world’s second most honest city according to a survey on 15 cities worldwide by Readers’ Digest magazine. Finnish capital Helsinki bagged the top spot for the world’s most honest city while Lisbon, the capital of Portugal, proved to be the least honest.  The survey put hundreds of people to test in four continents to find out just how honest they were by dropping wallets and seeing how many would be returned.

Rising inflation, fewer employment avenues and dwindling earnings are taking a toll on the spending capacity in India.

OPERATIONS, BUSINESS PERFORMANCE AND FUTURE OUTLOOK

 

The company has built a strong reputation, based on its quality and reach, for being the leading knowledge and marketing solutions provider in the water and waste water sector. Its publishing, training and exhibition businesses are highly regarded by its customers

 

Everything About Water's flagship print magazine continues to grow and draw advertisers from all over the world. It grew its customer base last year and attracted over 70 new customers. the company organized its annual tradeshow in Greater Noida in February 2012 that drew over 200 exhibitors from all over the world. Training business continued to be an emphasis, as the company organized programmers on new topics like leakage prevention, ground water management and rural drinking water supply

 

International growth has been a significant initiative. the company organized training programmers in international locations like Indonesia, Malaysia, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and Dubai, which drew a very good response. There is a significant opportunity for a water platform like Everything About Water in other Asian and African markets. These fragmented markets need offerings for raising awareness and creating marketing reach. International business grew and contributed about 20% of their total revenues.

 

The slowdown in the economy in the last two quarters of the financial year, led to many water sector companies reducing their spend on marketing. Adopting a more wait-and-watch approach, many players cut down on advertising and trade show participation, which had a slightly adverse impact on the company's business. However, it continued to attract new customers, and this allowed the company to grow its business marginally by about 9% over the previous year.

 

In a growing Indian water sector, Everything About Water continues to maintain its strong leadership position in all the segments it operates in. Besides the strategic value it provides to the water sector as a whole, the unique business model would be extended to international markets.

 

FUTURE PLANS

 

the company plans to continue to grow its innovative approach and leadership role in the publishing, graining and event business. Government would be an important segment of growth, as everything about Water builds its relationship with various ministry bodies, municipalities and quasi-government organizations. It will be offering more training and knowledge solutions to this customer segment, in the coming year. With more training programmers planned outside India and a larger team to focus on this segment, the International Business will be another focus area for the company in 2012-13.

 

Being highly unorganized and fragmented, market information on the water sector, related to opportunity sizing, growth rates and project updates is quite limited. With its background of domain knowledge, industry relationships and reach, EverythingAboutWater is in a unique position to offer market consulting information. The company will be strengthening the consulting business and offering new products in this business. With new companies entering the water sector, EverythingAboutWater is well placed to offer more and better knowledge and marketing solutions to the entire industry.
