Mumbai, Jun 23: Days after Pakistan hammered a blundering India by 180 runs to lift the ICC Champions Trophy, at The Oval, a video showing hundreds of people donned in white attire with skull caps on their heads celebrating men in green’s victory has created a row on social media.

cricketThe online ‘swayamsevaks’ of Sangh Parivar went on to claim that the video was shot in a mosque in Mumbai's Mira road where according to them people celebrated Pakistan's triumph.

The video, which went viral on social media, especially on Twitter and Whatsapp, instigated much hate speech and jingoism, with some resorting to use derogatory remarks against Indian Muslims.

However, during investigation it was ascertained that no Mumbai mosque ever glorified India's defeat. "The premises or place shown in the video cannot be a mosque because TV sets will not be installed inside places of prayer," said a senior police officer in Mumbai.

When the video was monitored closely, it was established that the clip was not shot in India. Moreover, as per the clip people cheering for Pakistan were watching the match aired on PTV sports, the official broadcaster of ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan.

The fact is that the video was shot in Pakistan where people were supporting and cheering for their team’s victory. It's a celebration of Pakistan's win by Pakistanis inside Pakistan and not by Indians as claimed by the hatemongers on social media.

When the reality came to light, the fun-mongers on social media started accusing Saffronists of granting Indian nationality to Pakistanis. “Funny Sanghis. They call Indians as Pakistanis and Pakistanis as Indians,” tweeted an Indian youth.

Saffronists may prove in future to be more deadly than ISIS.

Bangalore , Mar 24: Bizom, India's leading retail intelligence platform, announced free subscription of its retailer app and tele-ordering solutions for consumer businesses in India and other emerging economies. Both solutions enable retailers to send their orders directly to the brand.
In COVID-19 times of social distancing and prophylactic measures, brands are conscious about the safety of their salespersons. Also, retailers don't want travelling salespeople to enter their premises. Consequently, many retail stores are facing stockout situations of fast-moving product categories. Bizom's self-ordering solutions help brands to avoid stockouts of their products.
Bizom trends, which analyses consumption and demand for consumer brands, showed how a near-complete shutdown during the Janta Curfew followed panic buying in early March. The asymmetrical demand and a lack of salespeople for order-taking are driving the industry towards social-distancing-based store-stocking mechanisms.
Bizom provides social-distancing-based store-stocking solutions for consumer businesses. They include the Bizom Retailer App and the Bizom Tele-ordering.
The Bizom Retailer App enables self-ordering for a brand's key retail outlets and can be implemented in under two weeks. The mobile app, a B2B shopping app, is a simple installation for retailers. It lists and groups the brand's products as per its product categories. The app's interface is no different from that of leading e-commerce apps. All the user has to do is select the preferred SKUs and add them to their shopping carts.
The app also allows brands to customize the app to meet the requirements of their continually changing product categories. For instance, if an SKU runs out of stock, the brand can disable the given SKU from the app.
With the Bizom Retailer App, brands can take orders directly from retailers instead of the traditional order-taking approach, which requires high-touch from a salesperson. Some of the key features of the app are, the ability to provide product information directly through retailers including SKUs, competitor comparison and pricing.
It also enables self-ordering from the retailer to maintain the flow of products as per demand, enables scheme rollout information through a notification on the app rather than through salespeople, tracks delivery of goods to the retailer and enables incentive payments to retailers directly rather than through distributor claims.
With Bizom Tele-ordering, as the sales teams go remote, the tele-ordering solution will become useful for brands who want to get salespeople to take orders from retailers, remotely. It ensures continued service to outlets despite not being physically present in the market.
Here, salespeople can discuss product requirements with retailers and enter orders based on specific outlet types (grocery, chemist etc.), outlet class (Class A, Class B etc.) or based on their beat or as per a distributor.
The key features of the Bizom Tele-ordering solution are, its ability to help salespeople collect orders from retailers remotely and enter it for fulfilment into Bizom using a tool, the flexibility offered to salespeople for remote servicing of retailers as per outlet type, beat, distributor area etc., secondary schemes get applied automatically, variable discounts will get applied as applicable at an SKU level.
"At Bizom, we are conscious of our responsibility to help brands run faster during these COVID-19 times. Our solutions of Bizom Retailer App and Bizom Tele-ordering have been built to ensure that brands can leverage this situation of low direct touch with retailers to enable a better way of working, remotely. I am trying to help brands go live in a few days so that they, in turn, can serve consumers better during these testing times," said Lalit Bhise, CEO, Bizom.
