Rajiv Warrier : This is true. The impact in India will be the maximum as we have one of the biggest population in the world and every body keeps on buying Electronic Products.

Govt. should highly incentivize Green technology products import business. All Businesses should have a mandate for starting an awareness campaign on eWaste and Green Technoloy.

Tax benefit should be given for activities initiated for educating eWaste by corporate. This good corporate governess should be promoted in our distribution business.

Rajiv Warrier : According to Creative, Digital Marketing is the new form of Marketing. This is taking maximum budget from Marketing Budget of companies but we cannot totally discontinue the Offline Marketing Activities in India. Offline activities still initiate brand building in mind of Indian customers and help grow our business. We should have a combination of Online and Offline Marketing Strategies for any Brand in India.
