By 2034, the Indian e-commerce market is expected to surpass that of the United States and take second place globally. (Source: Google)
People are more knowledgeable about fashion and trends today because of social media sites like Instagram. In contrast to the 80s and 90s, when fashion icons were followed by their admirers, we now have self-made models on various social media sites. Social media has immensely benefited the fashion business by profoundly influencing trends and, eventually, altering how people behave in daily life. Though clothing is a highly personal choice, it is heavily influenced by fashion trends. What works for one person may not work for another. However, Italy is renowned for its exquisite craftsmanship, flawless tailoring, and lavish patterns when it comes to clothing. The Italian Colony men’s clothing offers opulent Italian style at a reasonable price.
After operating a business-to-business men’s clothing enterprise for over a decade, the esteemed Bangalore-based Italian Colony discovered that Indian men want premium clothing with trendy styles at affordable rates. As the brand struggled to engage with customers through B2B channels, it opted to launch an online store to expand its market reach. The brand was aptly named “Italian Colony,” as it endeavors to introduce the opulent Italian fashion style to the Indian market at a reasonable price. Initially, when the online store was launched, the Italian Colony was placing an average of 10 orders per day. Currently, its online store receives an impressive 150 to 200 orders daily. Moving forward, the company sets its sights on achieving a remarkable 500 orders per day by the end of 2023.
The online store of the Italian Colony currently offers a few categories of men’s pants. However, the brand is planning to offer a wide range of men’s clothing, starting from collections of joggers, cargos, jeans, and trousers at a reasonable price. Joggers are men’s go-to casual attire and can be worn while traveling, going out to lunch, taking a beach vacation, or running errands whereas cargos can be worn for both formal and casual occasions. Jeans are a perennial fashion, and a pair of jeans that are both comfortable and trendy, people can wear denim from dawn until night. Trousers are a man’s best friend and the best choice for a formal appearance. Pairing it with a linen shirt and derby shoes to them will give an additional flair. By wearing specific trousers with T-shirts, sweaters, casual jackets, and a variety of shoes, people may create an “everything goes” casual appearance. Italian Colony is one stop for men’s fashion which offers style and fashion hand in hand.
Italian Colony has recently developed its app, making it easy for customers to purchase Italian Colony products from across the world. The app is available in both, Playstore and IOS. In addition to this, with an aim to widen its presence, Italian Colony will be partnering with other e-commerce platforms, and customers will be able to get their preferred Italian-style men’s clothing there as well. The company’s Founders has the vision to spread Italian Colony’s influence throughout India and give the chance to Indian men to enhance their flair with opulent Italian fashion at a reasonable price.

The Nuisance of Self-Proclaimed Motivational Speakers on YouTube.
It has become increasingly popular in recent years for individuals to take to YouTube to post videos of themselves as supposed “motivational speakers”. While there is no doubt that some of these videos contain good advice and inspirational messages, the majority of these videos are nothing more than self-promotional sound bites and platitudes that do more harm than good.
The Dangers of Unqualified Advice
The biggest problem with these self-proclaimed motivational speakers is that they are often not qualified to offer advice. They may have a knack for delivering an inspiring speech, but they lack the professional knowledge and experience to back up their claims. Without the proper credentials, they are not only giving out incorrect information, but they are also potentially causing more harm than good to their viewers.
In addition to the lack of qualifications, these motivational speakers often fail to provide practical advice that can be used to improve the lives of their viewers. Instead, they simply spout off platitudes and clichés with no real practical advice on how to achieve success or make positive changes in one’s life.
The False Hope of Instant Success
Another issue with these motivational speakers is that they often promise instant success. They make it seem like all it takes to become successful is to watch their videos and follow their advice, despite the fact that success requires hard work, dedication, and perseverance. This creates a false sense of hope for viewers, which can lead to disappointment and frustration when they do not achieve their desired results.
The Effects on Mental Health
The final problem with these self-proclaimed motivational speakers is the effect they can have on viewers’ mental health. Watching too many of these videos can create a sense of pressure and guilt, as viewers are made to feel like they are not doing enough to achieve their goals. This can lead to increased stress and anxiety, and can even lead to depression in some cases.
Conclusion
The reality is that these self-proclaimed motivational speakers are doing more harm than good. They often lack the qualifications and experience to offer meaningful advice, and they create false hope for their viewers by promising instant success. This can have a negative impact on viewers’ mental health, and it is important to be aware of this when consuming content from these sources.

Product-Led Growth: Insights from Silicon Valley’s Top Product Expert, Asit Kumar Sahoo
New Delhi (India), March 30: Product-led growth (PLG) is quickly becoming a must-have strategy for SaaS brands looking to scale their products and drive more efficient acquisition, retention, and expansion. Asit Kumar Sahoo, a Silicon Valley-based product expert with over 10 years of experience in product, strategy, and entrepreneurship, recently shared some tips and a framework that any company can use to succeed with PLG.
Asit’s expertise in 0 to 1 product development and growth scaling is unmatched. He currently leads a new product line at Flexport, a company that has been named TIME’s Most Influential Companies of 2022, and a CNBC Disruptor Company. Asit has advised CEOs of publicly listed companies, industry association leaders, and C-level executives, helping to turn around businesses and consult startups on creating new products and business lines in India. Additionally, he co-founded an e-commerce company that scaled the business 4x year on year in 3 years while setting up strategic partnerships with firms across India and China. Asit also led multimillion-dollar M&A integrations and launched new innovative products, leading the growth strategy for a $100+ million business catering to 3,500+ businesses in the US.
Asit explained that PLG is all about using the product itself to engage customers and drive growth. This lower-touch approach enables customers to start with a basic version of the product and pay as they grow, allowing brands to focus their sales and success teams on the later stages of the customer journey to drive stickiness and enterprise-grade expansion.
Here are five key pillars to use PLG to take your SaaS business to the next level:

Thirdly, customer acquisition should lay the groundwork for lasting relationships, with meaningful engagement as soon as a customer encounters your product. Personalizing the product’s first mile can help customers realize the value inherent in your offering.
Fourthly, PLG is a holistic, end-to-end strategy capable of driving predictable, durable growth across the entire customer lifecycle. Product data can help you engage customers who are struggling with a particular use case or overlooking certain features.
Lastly, leveraging your product to optimize user experiences and drive successful outcomes is key to bolstering existing relationships and unlocking new ways to expand your offering.
By embracing PLG, SaaS brands can continuously engage customers, drive growth, and deliver lasting value for their organizations.
