High demand on Patanjali's Coronil Kit - COVID-19 Immunity Booster

        Yes, there is an uptick demand for Patanjali's Coronil kit. In an Interview that happened last month, Patanjali’s co-founder Acharya Balkrishna claimed that they have found the cure for the novel coronavirus. 

        Patanjali co-founder Acharya Balkrishna said” We conducted a clinical case study on many positive patients and we’ve got 100% favorable results. After taking our medicine COVID patients recovered in 5-14 fays then tested negative. So, we can say the cure for COVID is possible through Ayurveda. We’re performing controlled clinical trials only. In the next 4-5 days, evidence& data will be released by us.”

      Yoga Guru Baba Ramdev’s Ayurvedic company Patanjali announced three medicines in the Ayurvedic Corona Kit-the immunity-boosting medicine is now available across the country from now on.

        While Addressing a press conference in Haridwar, Ramdev Baba said that the medicine combo – Coronil and Swasari will be available in the market across the nation. Ayush Ministry has used the term “COVID management” for our medicine and not ‘COVID cure’. We are making it available across the nation from Rajasthan to Maharashtra” Swami Ramdev said.

        Baba Ramdev also claims that there are no side effects of the Corona medicines he is launching.

      They have tested a total number of 100 coronavirus positive patients for the clinical trial, out of which 95 were studied, 1 patient was lost on the follow-up details and 4 patients withdrew consent between the study, claims Patanjali.

        In a recent news report, he claimed that “Patanjali Ayurved is witnessing demand of around 10 lakh packs daily for its controversial COVID-19 immunity booster medicine Coronil”

        Patanjali is struggling to meet the demand as it can supply only one lakh packs, Ramdev said on Wednesday.

        “Today we have demand of 10 lakh packs of Coronil daily and we can supply only one lakh,” he claimed.

        Emphasizing that Patanjali Ayurved has priced it only at Rs 500, said “ Had we put a higher price of even Rs.5000, in this COVID-19 times, We could have easily earned up to Rs 5,000 crore from this. But we have not done so.

        Earlier In June, Baba Ramdev claimed that their product Coronil can cure COVID-19 patients. But the AYUSH Ministry immediately put restrictions on Patanjali overselling it.

      Also, the Union Ministry confirmed that Patanjali can sell the products only as an immunity booster but not as a cure for COVID-19.

        The Madras High Court had restrained Patanjali from using Coronil trademark till July 30, due to a petition provided by a Chennai based company.

        Patanjali's press note says that "the trial, conducted after the necessary approvals, showed 100% recovery of patients within seven days."

        The Uttarakhand department was among the agencies which had questioned Patanjali’s claim to have developed a drug to cure COVID-19. It said the company had only been given a license to manufacture an immunity booster.

Good News for Indian Netflix users! Netflix’s effort to make inroads in India!

        According to the sources, In India only about 10% of the Indian people know English in the 1.3 billion Indian population. According to a recent study of 4,162 urban citizens and 2,448 rural Indians by management consultancy KPMG India and search engine Google found that nearly 70% of Indians consider local language digital content more reliable than the English content.

        But many of the firms in the country operating and providing service in English only. Netflix is also one of the company said on Friday it’s aiming to break through the language barrier. So native language apps and sites proliferate to make it easier for people to grasp online information.

        Netflix is the high on-demand video streaming giant in the US and it rolled out support for Hindi. Its is the language spoken by nearly half billion people in India. From the sign-up page to search row, to collections, synopsis and payment, Hindi language now baked in across the platform. Subscribers can choose Hindi language from the “Manage Profiles: section on the welcome screen.

        In a statement from Monika Shergill, VP Content at Netflix India said, “Delivering a great Netflix experience is as important to us as creating great content. We believe the new user interface will make Netflix even more accessible and better suit members who prefer Hindi.”

      Netflix’s global competitors Amazon Prime Video and Disney+ Hotstar also support the Hindi language, though the latter has deployed Hindi in limited capacity.

        Netflix is already working to improve and to create unique user experience, in their blog they cited “At Netflix, we want to entertain our global membership with series and films from around the world. In line with that, we’re excited to announce NetFX, a cloud-based platform that will make it easier for vendors, artists and creators to connect and collaborate on visual effects (VFX) for our titles.

       The focus on Hindi illustrates the level of traction Netflix believes it has received in India. Most international firms tend to localize their services in India after they have fully tapped the population in urban cities across the country where English is a common language.

       Facebook and Google both the companies have almost 350 million users in India, have long supported Hindi and several other local Indian languages across their services. Amazon also added support for Hindi on its app in 2018 and rolled out support for the language in Alexa last year. In June, Amazon announced that their sellers could now signup to its platform and manage their accounts in the Hindi language.

       Flipkart introduced support for Hindi on its platform last year and added three more local languages in June this year.

        Support for Hindi is the latest effort from Netflix, which competes with more than three dozen on-demand video steaming services in India to attract subscribers in the country. In the past year the company had also explored ways to make its platform affordable to more users in India, where an average person earns about $2000 a year.

        Like more than two dozen languages — including Bahasa Indonesia, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Thai, Turkish, and Vietnamese — Hindi support will be available to subscribers worldwide.

Let’s see what is economics and types of economy in this post. 

Economy and Economics
        An Economy is the place where production and consumption of goods and services takes place. So the Economy encloses all the activities related to consumption, production and trade of goods and services. Economy of a country evolves over the time based on the factors such as culture, history, geographic conditions, laws enacted etc. 

The study of different economies of the countries across the world and the factors affecting the economies as a whole called as Economics. 
Types of Economy

Market Economy: 

            Market Economy is an economic system in which individuals own and operate the factors of production. In this type the business owners determine the most efficient legal methods of production and produce whatever people are willing to buy and sell. This economic system is also called as Capitalist Economy. Eg: US, UK, Canada.

Command Economy: 

            Command Economy is an economic system in which the government owns and operates the factors of production. Decision of production will be based on whatever the government decides and distribution will also be based on the decision of the government. This economic system is also referred as Communism or Socialist Economy. Eg: China, Cuba.

                                             

Mixed Economy: Mixed Economy is an economic system that has features of both market and command economies. Eg: India.

Traditional Economy: Traditional Economy is an economic system based on customs and traditions and also bases on agriculture and hunting.

Classification of Economics:

Microeconomics:

• Microeconomics deals with the decisions of firms and individuals to allocate resources of production, exchange, and consumption. 
• Microeconomics looks at the production and prices in single markets and the interaction between different markets but leaves the study of economy-wide aggregates to macroeconomics. 
• Microeconomist’s formulate mathematical models based on samples of behaviour and test the models against real-world observations. 

Basic Concepts of Microeconomics

          The study of Microeconomics involves several key concepts, including (but not limited to):

Incentives and behaviours: How people, as individuals or in firms, react to the situations with which they are confronted. 

Utility theory: Consumers will choose to purchase and consume a combination of goods that will maximize their happiness or “utility,” subject to the constraint of how much income they have available to spend.
Production theory: Process of converting inputs into outputs is studied in the Production Theory. Producers seek to choose the combination of inputs and methods of combining them that will minimize cost in order to maximize their profits.
Price theory: Utility and production theory interact to produce the theory of supply and demand, which determine prices in a competitive market. In economic equilibrium condition the price demanded by the consumer is the same supplied by the producer in the perfect competitive market condition.
Macroeconomics:
          Macroeconomics is the classification of economics that deals with the performance, behaviour, structure, and decision-making of the whole, or aggregate, economy.

• Long-term economic growth and shorter-term business cycles are the two main areas of macroeconomics.
• When compared to Macroeconomics, Microeconomics is more focused on the influences on and choices made by individual actors in the economy (people, companies, industries, etc.).
• In Macroeconomics, the generally studied factors are unemployment, national income, consumption, production, inflation, savings, investments, energy, international trade, and international finance.
