Mahesh-Balayya Combo By Boyapati - HIGH VOLTAGE ACTION

Some reports from the Film Nagar are hard to believe when they first emerge.  If we rule out as just mere speculations, we may get a shock in the future.  So, we can't ignore these reports completely.  One such news doing rounds in the Film Nagar is Mahesh Babu-Nandamuri Balakrishna combo. 

Mass director Boyapati Sreenu is reportedly planning a multi-starrer film with these two stars.  Boyapati said to have met Mahesh Babu recently and narrated the script.  Mahesh Babu is yet to take a call on this project.  It is known that Mahesh is presently working on 'Bharath Anu Nenu'.  He will start working on his next film in the direction of Vamsy Paidipally from January.  Boyapati is reportedly planning to start this project by next June.  Boyapati said to have got call sheets of Balayya from June 2018, so he is planning to make that project a sensational one.  

It is too early to comment on whether it will materialise or not but we can say that it is going to be a trendsetting multistarrer for sure. Considering the humongous fanbase both stars have, the film will create sensation right from the word 'go'.

                                                 AMAZON LINK

MUMBAI | BENGALURU: The top two Indian ecommerce players will battle it out over smartphones this festive season with leader Flipkart targeting four times the sale clocked by the competition and Amazon aiming to cross its annual growth rate of more than 100% in this category during its month-long sale. 

"We expect one out of every two customers buying a smartphone in India to be from the Flipkart site during the sale," said Ayyappan Rajagopal, senior director, mobiles, at Flipkart. Flipkart's The Big Billion Days sale is from September 20-24 and rival Amazon is expected to announce its dates soon but will also target the festive period. Sales for both will continue during this month long festive period. 

Arun Srinivasan, director, smartphones and consumer electronics for Amazon India, said his company has more than doubled its selection of exclusive smartphones across price segments. Giving an indication of expected demand during its upcoming sale, Amazon said it had recorded a five-fold jump in smartphone sales this July during its 30 hour Prime Day sale. 
Both have plans to lure in customers by rolling out EMI options, variations of cashbacks and exchange offers. This aggressive stance was expected, with Flipkart pulling out all stops to maintain its lead in the online market for smartphone and Amazon snapping at its heels. 

Counterpoint Research for April-June said Flipkart had 50% share of the online smartphone market, down from 57%, Amazon's share had increased to 33% from 27%. 

But Flipkart disputed this number, saying that it has increased market share in terms of gross sales, claiming it has increased from 60% in Q1 to 67% in Q2. Counterpoint data is based on total shipments that come into the platform's channels from brands and sellers. 
Counterpoint said the push by both the etailers would grow the online market in third quarter as promotions will be strong ahead of the festive season. 

"However, having said that, major online brands are also now expanding offline and favouring multichannel strategy," said a spokesperson for the research house. 

Both will hope efforts push sales of smartphones from online platforms, which have hovered around 33% of overall retail sales in the past year, as the price differential with offline nearly disappeared with ecommerce players cutting back discounts. 

Smartphones were among the first electronic devices to be sold online and remain among the highest selling segments for ecommerce majors. 

Smartphones contributed close to 25% of overall GMV (gross merchandise value) of the ecommerce sales through 2016 and is expected to remain at similar levels in 2017, analysts say, highlighting the criticality of the segment to the ecommerce majors. 

Flipkart has dropped its starting range of smartphones on discounts and offers to Rs 3,500 from last year's Rs 6,999 to get a larger chunk of buyers who can also pay EMIs on purchases via debit cards. It will mainly target buyers in the Rs 5,000-20,000 range, compared to last year's Rs 7,000-15,000. 

Flipkart has installed a software in their app which informs the customer about the price he will get for his handset. 

This helps in exchanges since 90% of customers buying smartphones from the site are upgrading their devices and therefore do not have to depend on shopkeepers to get quotations. Amazon is yet to roll out details of its offers. The fight for non-metros will continue. 

Amazon said it has seen a growth of more than 300% in tier I, 450% in tier II and 600% in tier III markets respectively in one year. It says it will fulfil orders at one- or two-day delivery while Flipkart said bulk of its smartphones will be delivered to metros and tier I in three days. 

Flipkart has also decided to drop the price of buyback policy from Rs 399 to Rs 99 during these 30 days. If a customer picks up a buy-back policy when he purchases a phone, it guarantees him a minimum amount of return when he wants to sell it for another handset.

Digital economy to offer 50-70 Lakh job opportunities: Ravi Shankar Prasad - SEE FULL DETAILS HERE - JOBS IN DIGITAL ECONOMY - LATEST JOBS

India's burgeoning digital economy is expected to provide job opportunities to about 50-70 lakh youth in the country by 2020, Electronics and IT Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said today.
Reiterating the Centre's commitment towards the country's growth, Prasad said it is important to have the affordable and inclusive technology to ensure growth and prosperity for the masses.
Speaking at the Digital Haryana Summit, he said the country's digital economy is growing fast and by 2020 it is expected to provide job opportunities to about 50 to 70 lakh youth.
The event was jointly organised by IT industry body Nasscom.
Prasad welcomed the launch of the cyber security policy by the state and said Haryana is the first in the country to implement such a policy.
Haryana is a base for thousands of Indian and global tech companies and there is a huge potential for the state to become an electronics and mobile manufacturing hub, he said.
Assuring support to the state government, Prasad said a digital revolution needs to be brought in Haryana and entrepreneurs need to play a larger role in helping with the digital transformation of the villages.
He cited the example of the Centre's scheme to promote setting up of BPOs in smaller towns, Prasad exhorted that such units be set up in cities like Rohtak and Jhajjar.

BJP does not interfere in affairs of any state: Ravi Shankar Prasad - LATEST FROM CENTRAL GOVERNMENT

The Union Law Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said, "We (the BJP) got 13 chief ministers, four deputy chief ministers, and everywhere we have won, we have the support and the blessings of the people of that state."

The Centre does not interfere in the affairs of any state, Union Minister Ravi Shankar Prasad said on Saturday and claimed that the BJP was “ruling in over 70 per cent of the country”. After paying homage at the memorial of former Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa in Chennai, he said, “The Central government does not at all interfere in any state. I hope you need to understand that BJP is already ruling in over 70 per cent of India.”
The Union Law Minister said, “We (the BJP) got 13 chief ministers, four deputy chief ministers, and everywhere we have won, we have the support and the blessings of the people of that state.”
“Prime Minister Narendra Modiji is taking India forward. He wants and I also want Tamil Nadu to rise and progress,” Prasad said.
On paying homage at the memorial, he said, “It was a great personal satisfaction for me.” “The only thing I would like to observe today is that Tamil Nadu must prosper. It must continue to develop. That will be the most important condolence and in a way justification for her (Jayalalithaa) and for the work she has done for a great state,” the Union minister said.
Earlier, participating in a function, Prasad recalled an interaction with Jayalalithaa and said how she had regretted on not being a lawyer. “I had the privilege to work with her (Jayalalithaa) very closely, politically and also had the privilege to appear for her legally,” he said.
Recalling a conversation with Jayalalithaa, Prasad said, she was explaining the nuances of her case very well. “I said, Madam you have perfect legal mind. Her response was, Mr Prasad, I regret on not being a lawyer,” he said.
To a query about a commission set up by the state government to probe Jayalalithaa’s death, Prasad said it was an AIADMK matter. “I have nothing to comment (on it). That is a matter of the AIADMK. Yes, I can only say that her age was not her age to go (to die). This I can tell,” he said.
To another query about appointment of a permanent Governor for the State, the Union Minister said, “I think Mr Vidyasagar Rao is doing his job well.” Rao assumed office as the Acting Governor of Tamil Nadu in September 2016.

'Soon, Aadhaar to be linked with driver's licence,' says Union minister RS Prasad

The minister didn't give a time frame to link the unique identification number with driver's licenses.
Meanwhile, the Supreme Court has yet to rule on whether Aadhaar violates privacy.
Last month, the top court declared privacy a fundamental right.

NEW DELHI: Soon, Aadhaar will be linked to one's driver's licence, said Union minister Ravi Shankar Prasad on Friday.
The minister didn't give a time frame to link the unique identification number with driver's licences.
His comment though comes even as the Supreme Court has yet to rule on whether Aadhaar violates privacy, something it plans to do in November.
Before ruling on Aadhaar and privacy, the apex court took up the issue of whether privacy is a fundamental right, and last month ruled that it indeed is.
So, linking Aadhaar with driver's licences may be on the government's agenda, but it remains to be seen whether it is something that can be carried through.
"We are planning to link driving licence to Aadhaar. I have had a word with (Union minister Nitin) Gadkari Ji regarding this," said Prasad on Friday at the at Digital Haryana Summit 2017.]
"So digital identity confirms physical identity with the help of digital technology," the minister elaborated.

The minister further said "PAN was linked to Aadhaar to stop money laundering".

Late last month, the Centre told the Supreme Court it will extend the deadline for mandatory Aadhaar to avail social benefits to December 31 from the earlier September 30.

Attorney General KK Venugopal, on the Centre's behalf, made this statement to a Supreme Court bench when petitioners sought an early the top court's last judgment declaring privacy a fundamental right.
