Speaking on the occasion, Sumit Jain, President Indian Deaf Cricket Association (IDCA) said, “We are elated to welcome teams from Bangladesh & Nepal to India and host them in Kolkata. IDCA will provide these specially-abled players with an opportunity to play in a world-class facility sponsored by the Merlin Group in Kolkata.

Inaugurating the Tri-nation ODI Mr Mudar Patreya said, “If you saw the tri-nation tournament as just another cricket competition you might have missed the significance of what the players had achieved to get to Calcutta (Kolkata). They had prevailed over extensive odds, the primary odds being the handicap of being told that they were handicapped. The next level would be to see these cricketers faring successfully in integrated cricket and hitting the ball out of the park – literally and metaphorically.”

The company also exported 1,348 units of The Urban Cruiser Hyryder this month, thus clocking a total of 15, 510 units. While there were no exports in the corresponding period last year, TKM had registered domestic sales of 15,086 units in April 2022. The company undertook a week-long maintenance shutdown from April 24-28, 2023 for the upkeep of machinery and equipment to sustain operational efficiencies, productivity and safety.

TKM posted a healthy domestic growth of 26% in the first four months of Calendar Year 2023, by selling 61,005 units in the same period last year, where 48,278 units were sold, domestically.

With the Made-in-India Urban Cruiser Hyryder, TKM restarted its export operations from the Indian market to South Africa and the Middle East from the month of December 2022. This development strongly embodies the company’s commitment towards ‘Mass electrification’ with ‘Make in India’, not only for the country but also for exports which underpins India’s emergence as a global manufacturing hub for cleaner and greener vehicles. Besides initiating the export of vehicles, Toyota Group has also been exporting e-Drives which is a critical electric powertrain component that is being locally manufactured by Toyota Kirloskar Auto Parts (TKAP) in Bidadi near Bengaluru.

Speaking on sales numbers Mr. Atul Sood, Vice President, Sales and Strategic Marketing said, “TKM is continuing to witness high demand as well as good enquires, and needless to say we are extremely thrilled to see the market responding very positively. This reflects the customer acceptance of our world-class product line-up and advanced clean technology solutions, as we continue to strongly serve our customer base in India. The Toyota Hilux, Innova Hycross and the New Innova Crysta continue their phenomenal run, as the strong demand continues, which indicates customers growing trust in Toyota for their family’s mobility needs. Our SUV segment share also continues to be buoyant owing to the success of the Urban Cruiser Hyryder along with segment leadership of the Fortuner and the Legender, which are consistently leading with over 82% market share in Q1 of CY 2023. The Vellfire and the Camry Hybrid are also steadily contributing to our sales.

Our focus on the “customer first” philosophy also continues to manifest while we prioritize taking care of our customers. Earlier this month, we launched ‘Wheels on Web’ (WOW), an Online Retail Sales platform for the Bangalore region. This new platform offers customers, a seamless virtual experience by enabling them to book, purchase and get delivery of their favorite Toyota models like HyCross (gasoline), Hilux, Legender, Camry, Fortuner, and Innova Crysta (GX) at the comfort of their homes. Through such innovative services, our objective is to provide value-addition to our esteemed customers, to enable a convenient process for the purchase of Toyota vehicles, facilitate end-to-end transactions, including secured online payments for providing a one-stop-shop solution.

As we continue to focus on offering customers a choice of vehicle that fits their lifestyle and needs, we would like to thank our suppliers and dealer partners for working extra hard to meet the robust market demand and preparing to meet the evolving market needs in a dynamic manner.”

Exhibitors

• Need to adapt to changing landscape and consumer behavior

• Use pricing strategies as a marketing tool through subscription programs, bundling of offers, and segmentation to attract customers at various price points
• Build out-of-home entertainment destinations, not just cinemas completely differentiated from watching content at home

Studios

• Create more content for the big screen
• Monetize the content journey – theatres first and then streaming
• Increase the theatrical window

Streaming

• Streaming and Cinema are here to co-exist

  Big-budget films can’t make it big and would not be able to recoup their investments if they come too quickly to streaming
• The probability of Piracy and theft of content is more on streaming
• Theatrical release set the quantitative and qualitative benchmarks and drive greater value for streamers
• Create a perfect eco-system attune to make content bigger leveraging the inherent strengths of theatrical and streaming
• Welcomes tech giants, Apple and Amazon’s plans to invest in making movies for cinemas

Through his critical experience of mobilizing content producers, mall developers, studios and cinema technology makers, Mr. Ajay Bijli has been able to create a conduit between consumers and film industry on one hand and the other with the retail industry and real estate development. Today multiplexes have witnessed significant growth across major Indian cities and smaller towns considering India is an under-screened market.

From customer engagement platforms to AI-powered e-commerce search platforms, India’s startup ecosystem is driving innovation in the customer experience space. Here are five Indian startups that are leading the way in this exciting field.

Kapture

Kapture is a renowned SaaS-based Customer Support Automation platform that deeply focuses on customer support and enables personal customer interactions. Founded in 2014, Kapture brings a customer profiling and segmentation tool that lets the user collect and segregate all prospect interactions on a single platform. This enables them to understand and profile their customers for a more real experience. The startup is helping brands with ticket management, a knowledge management system, an intelligent self-service portal, efficient customer data management, intelligent chatbots that provide contextual responses, omnichannel support operation that integrates queries from multiple channels onto a centralized location, customized tools, and powerful API integrations for smooth operations.

Zendesk

Zendesk is a ticketing system used to manage customer conversations. With any Zendesk plan, you’re able to manage email, Twitter, and Facebook conversations. On their higher-cost plans, you’re also able to manage phone and chat conversations. Though Zendesk is generally associated with larger teams because of the relative complexity of the product, resources needed for initial set up, and overall cost, they do have a few lower-cost plans. Those lower-cost plans do lack some features but should cover the basics for those with a primary focus on email support.

Freshdesk

A cloud-based customer support and helpdesk software that offers a range of features to manage customer interactions and improve customer experience. Freshdesk has two support offerings: one for just a help desk solution and one that covers omnichannel support. There are plan tiers within both, but the help desk solution is a lower cost on average when compared to the omnichannel product, and it’s probably a good starting place for most small businesses.

Salesforce

A cloud-based customer relationship management platform offering solutions for sales, customer service, and marketing, with analytics, automation, and integrations. It can be a good option for teams that are looking to provide support over Slack — Service Cloud integrates natively with Slack. Beyond Slack, you can use Salesforce Service Cloud to provide support via email, live chat, and self-service channels. The platform also offers add-ons like field service and AI tools and can integrate easily with Salesforce CRM for added customer insights.

Zoho

A customer relationship management platform that offers solutions for sales, marketing, and customer service, with features such as analytics, automation, and social media management. The company’s flagship product is Zoho One, an integrated suite of over 45 applications for sales, marketing, customer support, accounting, and other business operations. Zoho’s products are designed to be affordable and easy to use, and the company has been recognized for its commitment to customer satisfaction and support. Zoho is also known for its affordable pricing and its commitment to customer privacy, with a strict no-advertising policy and a data center exclusively for its customers.
