Airtel vs Videocon vs Vodafone – Logo Comparison

Airtel logo that was launched as a mark of Airtel’s 200million customer milestone, hasn’t worked out that well and isn’t up to the mark. There’s a lot of conversation on the internet regarding the new logo. A lot many said that the logo is quite similar to Videocon’s logo and it’s a n inverted version of it. I feel the same. Few said that the logo resembles Vodafone logo. Here’s a comparison on all the 3 logos.Clearly, the Airtel logo does resemble the Videocon logo. It’s quite astonishing that Airtel, the Indian telecomm giant has failed in designing the logo in a designer’s perspective. They should have taken suggestions  and feedbacks before launching it or maybe could have come up with a different design altogether.

How Tata Nano hit a big bump in India...

The Tata Nano was a small car that was expected to deliver big numbers, the new plant at Sanand in Gujarat was built to produce 2.5 lakh units a year, eventually ramping up to 5 lakh units. But 15 months after a high-profile launch, it has encountered trouble at every turn — three instances of the car going up in flames and a few cases of smoke emanating from it (the last was in September), confusion about its positioning, a rather unexpected bunch of affluent initial buyers, poor distribution reach, and financing bottlenecks. Nano’s sales have dipped from 9,000 units in July to 3,000 in October to just a little over 500 in November. The number of workers there has decreased by 80% in the last month. 


Many dealers say they have not picked up any fresh stock during the last two months as they were trying to sell existing cars. Dealer inventories at the beginning of November are estimated to be 17,000-20 ,000 units, according to officials at Nano’s dealers and suppliers. The company says that inventory levels are not so high, though it declined to disclose numbers. 

“I am a little surprised by the Nano’s sales figures,” says the head of a rival car manufacturer speaking on the condition of anonymity . “The car was positioned as an alternative to two-wheelers , but that’s not happening. Those looking to upgrade from two-wheelers are put off by the negative publicity (over the fires) and safety issues and buyers of the top-end Nano will rather put in a few thousand more and buy another car like the Alto,” he adds. 

Maruti Alto has sold 3.93 lakh units, while over 71,000 Nanos have been sold since the latter was launched last July. The base version of Alto carries a price tag of Rs 2.54 lakh, compared to the Nano’s Rs 1.45 lakh (on-road in Delhi). 

“The Nano was to sell on ‘demand pull’ , but now it’s plagued with poor image and quality issues ,” says a top-ranking executive who has worked with a car company in the past. “The Nano was supposed to attract maximum footfalls to dealerships and have a rub-off effect on its other models. But it hasn’t .” 

Is the small car hurtling into a big crisis? And what is the company doing to fix it? It’s easy to attribute the deteriorating sales of the Nano to the incidents of the fire. (More on that later.) But there is perhaps also a deeper marketing failure that’s lurking behind the smoke.

Gold Rush

Gold is loosing its shine because of the global signals. Another reason attributed to the same is the bulk selling and profit booking on the prices of the Metal.

Is it a global signal of deviation of interests of investors away from gold or it is slightly because of the reason that even the households have started looking at gold just as another investment and not a heritage to be preserved.

Booming Indices-A signal of real growth or another alarm

The stock markets are booming again. Some say it is because of the increased activities of Foreign players, others predict that this the result of the faith of the Retail Investors in India, which has been restored.
Anyways, be it an activity of Foreign Players or a faith of the Retail Investors being restored, the stock markets are seeing a new high.
This certainly calls for some deliberation because the natural rule says that everything that has gone up has to see a low, and that's inevitable.
The markets will soon see some depression, The only thing that has to be observed is, EXACTLY WHEN and HOW MUCH?

Historic Win

A historic Win by India sweeping the Aussies by 2-0 in the test series. Should this be called a great show by the Indians, or a surrender by the not so confident Australian side or just a charm of the wonderful performances by Sachin and Pujara.
