Greetings from Management Association GFGC Punjalakatte

We, the BBA students of GFGC Punjalakatte have made a effort of bringing the publi-

cation of our fortnightly management newsletter BUSINESS WORLD during the Aca-

demic Year 2019-20.

Dear Readers, this is a small step taken by our fellow classmates with the only aim to

revive the Management Association of our college in a creative way and also to en-

hance our knowledge relating to the day to day affairs of business world. Changes are

fast happening and there is severe competition, not just in the world of business but also

in the field of employment as well. Therefore, we need to update ourselves with the re-

cent events taking place in and around our nation.

BUSINESS WORLD is the result of the combined efforts put by the BBA students. We

must appreciate and congratulate everyone for their immense dedication and support in

bringing out this newsletter. Since it is our very first issue, We request the readers to

kindly excuse us for mistakes, if any. This edition is going to focus on the success story

of corporate personality, contemporary management concept, jargon, quizzes etc. The

readers are requested to take part in the various contests. I hope that this initiative is go-

ing to reap benefits to all in one or the other way.

We seek for your valuable feedback and effective suggestions at gfgcpbba@gmail.com

Thanks & Regards,

Editorial Team

Angel Investor Angel investors invest in small startups or entrepreneurs. Often, angel investors are among an

entrepreneur's family and friends. The capital angel investors provide may be a one-time invest-

ment to help the business propel or an ongoing injection of money to support and carry the com-

pany through its difficult early stages.

Angel investors provide more favorable terms compared to other lenders, since they usually

invest in the entrepreneur starting the business rather than the viability of the business. Angel

investors are focused on helping startups take their first steps, rather than the possible profit

they may get from the business. Essentially, angel investors are the opposite of venture capital-

ists.

Angel investors are also called informal investors, angel funders, private investors, seed inves-

tors or business angels. These are affluent individuals who inject capital for startups in ex-

change for ownership equity or convertible debt. Some angel investors invest through crowd

funding platforms online or build angel investor networks to pool in capital.

Trend Plot Digital Gaming in India Is Growing Up into A Billion-Dollar Market

The Indian digital gaming industry is growing rapidly, with behemoths like Alibaba backed

-Paytm, Tencent, Youzu and Nazara investing in it. One of the top five countries for mobile

gaming in the world, the industry is already worth over $890 million. And with the demand

for games on an upward curve, the country now has more than 250 game development

companies, up from a mere 25 in 2010, with at least two startups coming up every month.

Estimates suggest that India’s mobile games market will be worth $1.1 billion by 2020,

and number of users projected to become 628 million by then.

Evidently, the increase in mobile gaming has run in parallel to the rise in smartphone

adoption in India, which is set to have 530 million smartphone users this year. Many game

developers such as Moon Frog, 99Games, PlaySimple and Mech Mocha are capitalizing on

the growth in smartphone usage to build their businesses. “Rising smartphone users created

a stable marketplace for mobile gaming sector, as users are constantly on the lookout for

new forms of entertainment,” says Felix Manojh, founder of Flixy Games, a mobile game

publisher that has partnered with Japanese game developers Axelmark and Tayutau.

“Indian esports market is picking up steam, with an estimated four million enthusiasts,”

says Manish Agarwal, CEO of Nazara. “We want to develop the ecosystem to enable com-

petitive online and offline gaming, create local leagues and boost e-sports as spectator

sports in India.” With Electronic Sports League (ESL) as one of Nazara’s investors, the ap-

proach, Agarwal says, is to include localized content creation around global events such as

ESL One, ESL Pro League, Intel Extreme Masters and The International, and bring in

sponsors. “This will give a massive boost to the creation of best esports players in India.”

This means that games developers don’t need to have particularly powerful hardware —

they will be able to create assets for games, ranging from story, to animations, and even

models quickly, and affordably. And, it’s all adding up to a fast-growing business..
