INDIAN ECONOMIC OVERVIEW

 

The services sector, the largest contributor to India’s GDP, contracted for the sixth consecutive month in December, as orders dipped. However, hiring has risen.  Direct tax collections rose 12.3 % during the April – December period of the current financial year.  The government has decided to retain 100 per cent foreign direct investment in both greenfield (new) and brown field (existing) pharmaceutical companies, despite concerns over genetic drugs going out of production, if multi-national companies take over domestic ones. In M&A deals, a non compete clause would not be allowed, except in special circumstances. The Department of Industrial Policy and Promotion plans to release the next edition of its consolidated foreign direct investment policy document on March 31, incorporating changes made in the past year. DIPP compiles all policies related to India’s FDI regime into a single document to make it easy for investors to understand. 185 million estimated number of mobile internet users in India by June 2014, according to a report by the Internet & Mobile Association of India and IMRB International.  India had 110 million mobile internet users with 25 million in rural areas. $3.77 tn estimated global IT spending in 2014, according to research firm Gartner Inc. The growth forecast for this year is cut to 3.1 %from the earlier estimate of 3.5 %. The spending growth forecast for telecom services – a segment that accounts for more than 40 % at total IT spending – from 1.9 per cent to 1.2 per cent is the main reason for this overall IT cut. A Reserve Bank of India committee has recommended setting up a special category of lenders who would cater to small businesses and households, to expand the number of customers with access to banking services. These banks would focus onproviding payment services and deposit products.  Indian banks want the free use of automated teller machines to be capped at five transactions in a month including that of the bank in which the account is active. This follows state government order to banks to install security guards at ATM booths after a woman banker was assaulted in Bangalore. The government is likely to present a vote on Account in mid-February. The annual Economic Survey will be tabled later in Parliament along with the full Budget. A full Budget for 2014/15 is likely to be present in July by the new government formed after the General Election. The government will soon launch an internet spy system, called Netra, to detect malafide messages. Security agency will deploy the system to capture dubious voice traffic on applications such as Skype and Google Talk, as well as tweeters.

MADHOUSE SETS UP SHOP IN INDIA

 

Madhouse, China-based mobile marketing company has launched in India in a bid to capitalise on the ever increasing demand for customised mobile marketing solutions. Vinod Thadani, in his capacity as chief operating officer of Madhouse India, will head the Indian operations. Previously, he was regional director, GroupM South Asia and headed the mobile business. Madhouse India plans to open offices across Mumbai, Delhi and Bangalore to service brands across the spectrum. Though the agency has a strategic partnership with WPP, Madhouse India will work with other agency groups and directly with clients as well.

 

Thadani feels that mobile advertising is beginning to transform the way brands communicate with their consumers. Elaborating on their thoughts behind the launch, he said, “Madhouse will offer mobile marketing solutions created and carried out for advertisers by a team of experienced media professionals that understand this medium. On a technical level, mobile advertising can now achieve accurate intelligent targeting and can provide real-time reporting – a very convincing proposition for advertisers. The need of the hour is to unlock the potential and we are determined to change the face of the Indian digital media landscape and grow the mobile media market from 125 to 1000 crores within the next three years,”

 

Joshua Maa, founder and chief executive officer, Madhouse, observed, “We see tremendous growth and potential in India and are fully committed to investing in this market. With the right local partners, we believe that our technology and operational expertise can be leveraged to serve the unique mobile marketing needs of clients.  In China, we have been working with partners such as Rovio, EA, China Unicom’s app store, and ad agencies to grow our leadership position. Similarly in India we value our association with WPP to help develop and take leadership in this market as well.”

 

Ranjan Kapur, country manager, WPP explained, “Digital media is evolving and innovating at a very fast pace in India where especially mobile and handheld devices are poised to play a larger role in marketing communications. Madhouse India will help us build a unique value for our clients where in-depth domain and brand understanding is coupled with the strength of Madhouse technologies. A synergy is also established as our local market expertise and talent pool is well equipped in the Indian marketplace which is similar in complexity to China.”

 

The agency has also announced a partnership with Rovio, who will be reaching out to Indian brands through this association. Bijay Gurung, key account director, Rovio Entertainment, said, “We are very excited about the growing popularity of Rovio´s Angry Birds brand in India as we recognise India as one of our most important markets. India being the second largest Facebook country with a huge growth rate, it opens the door for us to entertain even more fans as we are aiming for one billion downloads by the end of the year. Madhouse is a valuable partner for us in China, and we are excited about the opportunity to extend our collaboration to India as well.”

 

Thadani informed that Madhouse India is already in talks with brands such as HSBC, Vodafone, Idea Cellular, Reliance, Nokia, LG, Sony Ericsson, Pepsi and Procter and Gamble, among others.

 

 

MADHOUSE - CHINA'S LEADING MOBILE AD NETWORK LAUNCHES IN INDIA

 

MUMBAI, Feb. 14, 2012 /PRNewswire-Asia/ -- Madhouse, China's leading Mobile Ad Network, today launched operations in India to capitalize on the ever increasing demand for customized mobile marketing solutions. Madhouse is the leading and most established mobile ad network and mobile marketing solutions provider in China and has worked closely with over 120 clients – such as HP, Intel, Coke, KFC, Unilever, VW and agency groups including GroupM, Vivaki, Aegis, OMG and their associated agencies.

 

Madhouse India aims to leverage the opportunity of using mobile as a mass media device given that there are more than 850 million mobile connections in the country. Current barriers to mobile marketing include the dearth of scaled solutions in Data, Voice and Text; harmonizing the different operating systems with multiple stake holders across mobile inventory; and lack of established tools and systems, which makes it difficult to answer the question of how this medium can be leveraged by advertisers to reach out to their consumers.

 

Madhouse India hopes to address this through unique and innovative services. Clients can look forward to complete mobile solutions across the spectrum of paid, owned and earned media on feature phones, smart phones and tablets. We provide service across all operating systems with precise targeting by geography, user demographics and psychographics to ensure minimal media wastage.

 

According to Mr. Joshua Maa, Founder and CEO, Madhouse, "We see tremendous growth and potential in India and are fully committed to investing in this market. With the right local partners, we believe that our technology and operational expertise can be leveraged to serve the unique mobile marketing needs of clients.  In China, we have been working with partners such as Rovio, EA, China Unicom's app store, and ad agencies to continually grow our leadership position. Similarly in India, we value our association with local partners to help develop and take leadership in this market."

 

"Mobile Advertising is beginning to transform the way brands communicate with their consumers. Madhouse will offer mobile marketing solutions created and carried out for advertisers by a team of experienced media professionals that understand this medium. On a technical level, mobile advertising can now achieve accurate intelligent targeting and can provide real-time reporting – a very convincing proposition for advertisers. The need of the hour is to unlock the potential and we are determined to change the face of the Indian Digital Media Landscape and grow the mobile media market from 125 to 1,000 crores within the next 3 years," said Mr. Vinod Thadani, Chief Operating Officer, Madhouse India.

 

Mr. Ranjan Kapur, Country Manager, WPP explained, "Digital Media is evolving and innovating at a very fast pace in India where especially Mobile and handheld devices are poised to play a larger role in marketing communications.

MADHOUSE'S MADPLANNER TOOL CHANGES THE FATE OF MOBILE VIDEO ADVERTISING IN INDIA

 

 

SHANGHAI, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Madhouse India's tool MadPlanner has swept awards in the 1st week of September. The tool has helped Madhouse India win the Enabling Technology Company of the Year in Mobile at Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) - 2013 Smarties India and also lapped up the coveted Gold at Ad Club Bombay's Emvies awards in the category Best Media Research using Proprietary Data.

 

The MadPlanner tool launched in early 2013 enables multi-screen video based planning and measurement in GRP parlance on mobile for marketers.

 

Smartphone and tablet growth continues to explode globally, so do the opportunities for consumers to watch video content when and where they want. There are over 500 million feature phones capable of watching videos, 60 million smartphones and over 6 million tablets in India and the latter is growing at a rate of 40% or higher quarter-on-quarter.

 

Mobile video consumption is truly a silent revolution that's taking place in India and marketers have taken note of the same recently, especially with the declining time spent of TV in India.

The MadPlanner tool works on the principle of being able to estimate exact TG reach data for video platforms via an online panel that constantly captures data. The panel also helps segment audiences based on behavior, location, affinity and profile and aids superior targeting and delivery of advertising. Every buck invested in mobile video advertising now delivers incremental GRP's to advertisers and that's what has moved the industry with the launch of this tool.

 

That is a huge first step in India that enables mobile advertising to find a place with the largest share of the ADEX pie in India - television.

 

"It is indeed a proud feeling for all of us here at Madhouse to receive such recognition in the mobile and media fraternity," said Joshua Maa, the founder and CEO of Madhouse. "The recognition for MadPlanner goes beyond it just being a feather in our cap but we are proud of how we are contributing towards shaping the industry, as we are committed towards the growth of the mobile marketing ecosystem at large. We will continue to raise the bar every time and deliver much more value to an advertiser for every buck invested in mobile advertising. "

 

 

ROVIO AND MADHOUSE ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP TO DRIVE MOBILE MARKETING IN CHINA

MADHOUSE - CHINA’S LEADING MOBILE AD NETWORK LAUNCHES IN INDIA

 

  • Madhouse India is dedicated to provide brands, advertising agencies and other marketers with the best and the most comprehensive mobile marketing services

 

  • In response to the huge requirement for end-to-end mobile solutions in India, Madhouse plans to open offices across 3 cities to service brands across the spectrum

 

Mumbai, February 14, 2012 - Madhouse, China’s leading Mobile Ad Network, today launched operations in India to capitalize on the ever increasing demand for customized mobile marketing solutions. Madhouse is the leading and most established mobile ad network and mobile marketing solutions provider in China and has worked closely with over 120 clients – such as HP, Intel, Coke, KFC, Unilever, VW and agency groups including GroupM, Vivaki, Aegis, OMG and their associated agencies.

 

Madhouse India aims to leverage the opportunity of using mobile as a mass media device given that there are more than 850 million mobile connections in the country. Current barriers to mobile marketing include the dearth of scaled solutions in Data, Voice and Text; harmonizing the different operating systems with multiple stake holders across mobile inventory; and lack of established tools and systems, which makes it difficult to answer the question of how this medium can be leveraged by advertisers to reach out to their consumers.

Madhouse India hopes to address this through unique and innovative services. Clients can look forward to complete mobile solutions across the spectrum of paid, owned and earned media on feature phones, smart phones and tablets. We provide service across all operating systems with precise targeting by geography, user demographics and psychographics to ensure minimal media wastage.

 

According to Mr. Joshua Maa, Founder and CEO, Madhouse, “We see tremendous growth and potential in India and are fully committed to investing in this market. With the right local partners, we believe that our technology and operational expertise can be leveraged to serve the unique mobile marketing needs of clients. In China, we have been working with partners such as Rovio, EA, China Unicom’s app store, and ad agencies to continually grow our leadership position. Similarly in India, we value our association with local partners to help develop and take leadership in this market.”

 

“Mobile Advertising is beginning to transform the way brands communicate with their consumers. Madhouse will offer mobile marketing solutions created and carried out for advertisers by a team of experienced media professionals that understand this medium. On a technical level, mobile advertising can now achieve accurate intelligent targeting and can provide real-time reporting – a very convincing proposition for advertisers. The need of the hour is to unlock the potential and we are determined to change the face of the Indian Digital Media Landscape and grow the mobile media market from 125 to 1,000 crores within the next 3 years,” said Mr. Vinod Thadani, Chief Operating Officer, Madhouse India.

 

Mr. Ranjan Kapur, Country Manager, WPP explained, “Digital Media is evolving and innovating at a very fast pace in India where especially Mobile and handheld devices are poised to play a larger role in marketing communications. Madhouse India will help us build a unique value for our clients where in-depth domain and brand understanding is coupled with the strength of Madhouse technologies.”

 

"We are very excited about the growing popularity of Rovio′s Angry Birds brand in India as we recognize India as one of our most important markets.

MADHOUSE'S MADPLANNER TOOL CHANGES THE FATE OF MOBILE VIDEO ADVERTISING IN INDIA

 

SHANGHAI, Oct. 24, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Madhouse India's tool MadPlanner has swept awards in the 1st week of September. The tool has helped Madhouse India win the Enabling Technology Company of the Year in Mobile at Mobile Marketing Association (MMA) - 2013 Smarties India and also lapped up the coveted Gold at Ad Club Bombay's Emvies awards in the category Best Media Research using Proprietary Data.

The MadPlanner tool launched in early 2013 enables multi-screen video based planning and measurement in GRP parlance on mobile for marketers.

 

Smartphone and tablet growth continues to explode globally, so do the opportunities for consumers to watch video content when and where they want. There are over 500 million feature phones capable of watching videos, 60 million smartphones & over 6 million tablets in India and the latter is growing at a rate of 40% or higher quarter-on-quarter.

 

Mobile video consumption is truly a silent revolution that's taking place in India and marketers have taken note of the same recently, especially with the declining time spent of TV in India.

 

The MadPlanner tool works on the principle of being able to estimate exact TG reach data for video platforms via an online panel that constantly captures data. The panel also helps segment audiences based on behavior, location, affinity & profile and aids superior targeting & delivery of advertising. Every buck invested in mobile video advertising now delivers incremental GRP's to advertisers and that's what has moved the industry with the launch of this tool.

 

That is a huge first step in India that enables mobile advertising to find a place with the largest share of the ADEX pie in India - television.

 

"It is indeed a proud feeling for all of us here at Madhouse to receive such recognition in the mobile and media fraternity," said Joshua Maa, the founder and CEO of Madhouse. "The recognition for MadPlanner goes beyond it just being a feather in our cap but we are proud of how we are contributing towards shaping the industry, as we are committed towards the growth of the mobile marketing ecosystem at large. We will continue to raise the bar every time and deliver much more value to an advertiser for every buck invested in mobile advertising. "
