Uber and Ola will slug it out in the food delivery space. Ola has bought Foodpanda India from previous owner Delivery Hero in an all-stock deal, and will invest $200 million in the business, it said in a blog post. Ola had previously dabbled in food delivery with Ola Cafe, but it shut down the vertical because of stiff competition from Swiggy and Zomato. Ola’s arch-rival Uber has been investing heavily in its food delivery service UberEATS, which it launched in India in May.
Buying an iPhone will burn a bigger hole in your pocket. Apple has raised prices of top iPhone models by an average 3.5% after the Centre hiked the import duty on mobile phones by 5 percentage points to 15%.

Indian CEOs earned 88 times the average company employee in 2017, Mint reportsciting a Prime Database study. This is better than the US, where top executives made 271 times the median remuneration in 2016. But the gulf is widening in India, especially at blue-chip companies where CEOs bagged up to 1,200 times the average worker’s pay. For instance, Tech Mahindra CEO CP Gurnani's total compensation was 3,537 times that of an average employee in his company.
In sheer numbers, the Indian diaspora has become the strongest in the world. The UN’s International Migration Report 2017 says 16.59 million Indian-origin people live in foreign countries — a number that has doubled since 2000. More than half of the migrants live in West Asian countries such as the UAE and Saudi Arabia, followed by the US. But fewer foreigners are choosing India: The migrant count in India fell from 6.4 million in 2000 to 5.2 million in 2017.
The uptick in hiring of fresh engineering talent is rubbing off on new IITs. The IITs in Patna, Mandi, Indore and Gandhinagar are attracting more recruiters and commanding higher salaries this year, reports Economic Times. IIT Patna and IIT Mandi have already placed 65% and 70% students, respectively. At ₹39.13 lakh, software giant Adobe made the highest offer across all new IITs, up from ₹27 lakh last year. The early placement season across all IITs has seen 40% more offers than last year. Recently, IIT Madras overtook IIT Bombay to place the highest number of students on Day 5.

Negative self-talk — “I can’t do this!” or “I don’t have time!” — keeps you from accomplishing tasks that could very well be within your grasp.
“I took myself out of the running doing many things and it wasn't because I truly had no time. It's because I was really afraid of failing.”

Advertising of Galaxy, iPhones, and Pixels

Upon the release of apple's modern-day product, the iphone x, samsung has launched a spot that follows an apple consumer during the ultimate ten years. In its industrial, samsung suggests us the difference of residing an android and ios lifestyles.
Samsung Galaxy: Growing Up
Within the one minute spot, samsung takes us down reminiscence lane lower back to 2007. Here, apple person erik walks down by means of an apple store where people are already looking ahead to the primary iphone. He opts into the ios way of life, and fast starts offevolved noticing matters:


As 3 years pass, erik takes a picture of his vehicle, most effective to be stopped via a "storage is complete" message on his digital camera app. After every other 3 years, he meets lauren, who is a galaxy consumer. Erik is quick to note that the galaxy is a much larger phone than his iphone. In 2015, he's caught again waiting in line for the iphone 6s. In 2016, erik and lauren both fall right into a lake, with lauren's samsung being okay when you consider that it is water resistant, at the same time as erik's iphone is turned off. The iphone gets thrown right into a bowl of rice. The ad continues to note many other functions: digital camera pleasant, headphone jacks (which means no dongles needed), and wi-fi charging.
.
This, but, is truely no longer the primary time samsung has taken a jab at its competitor.
The Next Big Thing is Already Here
Samsung's maximum notorious campaigns are "the next big issue is already here." the series of ads that run under this campaign intention to at once highlight the differences among samsung and apple merchandise.


In an Adweek article, Samsung noted that what makes them unique is the technology innovation they make available through their products:
“At a time when tens of million Americans are ready to upgrade their smartphones, the two biggest brands have introduced flagship devices—at the same time. This new ad speaks directly [to] them, underscoring why so many are choosing Galaxy S8, S8+ and Note 8 as their next smartphone. Instead of being on autopilot, they are finally excited about technology again.
The ad, of course, was also seen by Apple users, who were quick to note that the commercial lacked the part where their Galaxy Note 7s kept exploding.

Apple: iPhones are connecting people

While apple first delivered their iphone lower back in 2007, they did it with a compilation of film characters answering phones with a "good day?" whilst maximum of the scenes blanketed humans answering thru a landline corded telephone, we see huge boxy mobile phones toward the give up of the video.


Apple's classified ads get the most reward. This involves no marvel considering ridley scott's "1984" apple industrial is frequently considered as one of the quality commercials in records. But other than their suppose different campaigns, apple has pushed for some side campaigns that connect customers with their product.
In 2013, apple released an ad that shows how iphones are in fact connecting households, in place of disconnecting them. The economic below capabilities a circle of relatives christmas reunion in which the teenage grandson isn't participating that much in family activities. You may see the advert beneath.


Turns out, the grandson became in fact creating a video in their holiday from numerous tidbits he filmed on his iphone, and as a result changed into capable of broadcast it to the television through airplay.
Apple's cutting-edge commercial "meet iphone x" is a gap which you have come to assume from apple: the smartphone floats in white area, displaying off a characteristic at a time, with hip heritage song.


Actually two things are the pinnacle dealers for the iphone x: the animoji feature, which lets customers use their face to create 3-d lively emojis, and the augmented reality. People are already getting creative with animojis, making animoji karaoke pretty a laugh to proportion. Augmented reality is honestly still within the works, however given apple's release of the arkit ("a new framework that allows you to without difficulty create exceptional augmented reality stories"), we can count on many greater reviews to be coming quickly.

Pixel, made by Google, is a fierce contender

Last but not least is google's present day piece of hardware: the pixel 2. Unlike samsung and apple, google boasts excessive electricity in the cloud (they're a software program agency after all). Thus, their advertising and strategy for the pixel is predicated heavily on its use of its specific software merchandise. To reveal this, google launched a niche telling clients to demand greater from their phones. Inside two mins, google assistant answers any questions you may have.


Even as still in their early variations of hardware, google is technically nevertheless new to the mobile hardware sport. But the issue of being new was its primary selling point while it launched the pixel a yr in the past.


With an apparent jab at apple, the google pixel got here in three "new" hues: pretty black, very silver, and truely blue, given apple's titles for the colors they launch their iphones in (i.E. Rose gold). Different jabs include the headphone jack, no camera bump, and plenty greater in a text flashed quick close to the cease of the industrial.

What phone will you choose?

It's interesting to see the advertising from the companies which might be quickly attempting to find your area for your pocket. Will you pick the modern galaxy? Will you choose the aesthetically-pleasing iphone? Or will you provide the pixel a danger, bundled with all google products?
