Most Indians have grown up on film songs and they remain an integral part of our lives. My friends were sharing links for film songs over FaceBook. However, with hundreds of entries for each song, it is hard for an average user to discover original songs. This inspired us to build an app to solve this, so that consumers can easily find and watch their favorite actors and the film clips at the same time.
— Mr. Arvind Jha, Founder/CEO, Pariksha Labs.

Filmi Filmy brings over thirty two thousand (32,000) hindi film songs in video clips on a single easy to use mobile app making it possible for consumers to find and watch their favorite film songs when they want to. “Most Indians have grown up on film songs and they remain an integral part of our lives.

We have developed sophisticated server side algorithms to discover hindi film songs, index them and bring them to the user in a simple app so that they can enjoy their music and share their feelings with friends and family thru these songs.” – he added.

Filmi Filmy is a FREE app that aggregates over 32k songs over the last 50 years. It not only allows the user to search (by song name, film name, singer name, year) but also create playlists and share their playlists with their friends and family via an in-app-purchase (IAP). “We want users to select songs by moods, themes, singers, films, actors, any combinations and share their selections with their friends and families. All their selections will be stored on our servers and available from any device on-demand. Consumers can access this feature for a very small in-app-purchase” – Mr. Jha indicated.

Filmi Filmy was launched in March this year for Apple AppStore and quickly became the top new music app for India and the #1 ranked music app in Pakistan. It was launched last month on Windows Phone Store and became a FEATURED app within 4 weeks. It presently has over over 40,000 users and on the IPhone and Windows Phone Stores. The company is expecting a strong reception to the app on android platform given the widespread adoption of android smartphones in India. The company is promoting the app with the tag line “Make your own Chitrahaar” referring to a popular TV show from the 70s-80s.

MUMBAI, 11 July 2014: Welcoming the Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley’s announcement about proposed amendment to the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Scheme (Banning) Act, 1978, direct selling company QNET lauded the forthcoming clarifications and called for setting up a regulator to monitor the business.

Mr Jaitley said in his budget speech: “As part of the legislative initiatives under financial sector reforms, it is proposed to bridge the regulatory gap under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Scheme (Banning) Act, 1978.”

“This step is expected to facilitate effective regulation of companies and entities which have duped a large number of poor and vulnerable people in this country,” Mr Jaitey said.

Appreciating the initiative Mr Zaheer Merchant of QNET’s Corporate Affairs, said that the direct selling business, unfortunately, was being clubbed under the Prize Chits Act due to certain misconceptions.

“The amended Act will hopefully take care of this, clarify the differences and encourage genuine direct selling as opposed to other forms of schemes,” Mr Merchant said.

Direct selling, he said, generates employment, encourages self employment, cuts down marketing and promotional expenses, apart from contributing to the exchequer. The need of the hour, therefore, is to formulate clear cut laws to govern the MLM and direct selling industry in India.

Mr Merchant pointed out that other fast growing economies such as Thailand, Malaysia, Indonesia, Vietnam, Taiwan and Singapore have a specific statutes that regulate, and more importantly, facilitate direct selling.

“We are confident that the government will consider relevant legislation from other countries in reaching a fair and just conclusion and legislation here, to ensure equity and business interests are best served. We are happy to assist in any way we can, as I am sure will others in the industry or other industry bodies in other legislated markets. A specific regulator, like an ombudsman, for instance, would also be useful in matters of mediation or review,” he said.

Globally, Direct Selling is an approximately US$154 billion industry with more than 91 million people involved it as distributors of a wide range of products and services. The socio-economic impact of this industry is well documented in many countries especially in promoting self-employment and reducing unemployment.

Mr Merchant said direct selling may be lucrative, but it is also a tough business. “Right from the start, genuine businesses will tell you that the results happen only if you put in the time and effort. “

“Any company that promises you an easy way to riches should be regarded with caution. QNET for example, has a detailed earnings disclaimer available on its website and marketing materials,” he said.

Pyramid or Ponzi schemes, he said, have no legitimate products or services. “Good direct selling companies dedicate substantial resources to research and development to create quality products that are of actual use or value to people. QNET offers more than 30 different products under nine different product categories.

“Serious direct selling companies don’t allow pure recruitment for income or simply reward participation”, Merchant explained.

It is in this context that India would be best served with clear-cut laws to govern the genuine direct selling business and not to simply enjoin it under the Prize Chits and Money Circulation Schemes (Banning) Act, he added.

India is the fastest growing English speaking digital market in the world. With over 200 million users online and the fastest growing mobile user base, it’s become a land ripe with opportunity. At the same time, there has been an incredible blossoming of digital content and product companies globally, with new publishers emerging everyday, great products getting rolled out and offering new platforms, perspectives and engaging content that challenge the traditional ways content has been produced. The cutting edge products and platforms being launched are impacting the way we look at, engage with, grow and monetize the digital media more than ever.

The rapidly growing Indian Internet Audience and the huge latent potential that the market has spurred Global Digital Companies into actively developing an India strategy (see these posts in NYT, Digiday, theMediaBriefing and Nieman Journalism Lab). India is also a market that adopts new platform and product technologies very entusiastically.

We started Times Local Partners just over a year ago to help great, emerging digital publishers and product companies tap this potential. We wanted to leverage our reach with consumers, our understanding of the Indian market and our connect with advertisers to build great businesses in India for companies succeeding in other markets. We also build out a full suite of editorial and product operations locally for the partner. The local team creates meaningful volume of original local content in line with the edit and brand ethos of the partner. This delivers a more holistic experience to the Indian audience.

It’s been 15 months, and we’ve launched ten partnerships. All of these partnerships have seen strong audience and consumption growth ranging from 100-120% within a year.

A trend of how a few of the partners sites have grown in India post the partnership can be seen below:

And when we look at some comparable properties, which haven’t had the same Indian focus, it becomes even clearer how strong these properties have become.

It’s not just about traffic growth. We’ve invested into making our partner brands salient within India, leveraging their expertise and emphasizing their brands in other media, like print and television. Our other media editorial teams are encouraged to leverage our partner’s content, giving proper branding for our partners, which has contributed to the improved reach of our partners’ sites. And today, that improved salience is translating into meaningful ad revenues, which are growing healthily for our partners.

Indian Digital Market is increasingly becoming a key focus area for Global Digital Companies. Many are already building out plans, and more will develop soon.

At Times Local Partners, we hope to work with the best global publishers and product companies in making a successful and prominent footprint, and most importantly, to help expose our consumers to the vast array of digital content and products being made around the world.

The author uses the experiences of her life to draw upon a living, breathing quantum reality, which she refers to as “Heart Time” to transform trauma, illness, near death and divorce to find identity, meaning, healing and love.  Along the way, she answers the questions: As a human being what is my relationship to quantum consciousness?  Where is it? How can we use it?

At the outset, Jasmina Agrillo Scherr, guides the reader to tap into the quantum experience to uncover their soul secrets throughout her multi-dimensional healing journey.  From the ancestral shores of Sicily, to New England, India, South America, and California, the transformation to the next level of consciousness unfolds.  Along the way, doubts prevail, wrong turns taken, and fears faced, as the author learns to trust what the heart feels and quantum reality knows.

Mirror of My Soul Sanctum of My Heart readers are saying, “This book is amazing!  It must be working its magic because as I am reading I am re-living my life and seeing it in a new way—the gift of who I really am.  My soul’s talking to me!” Style Editor, Kay Harkins says, “The healing is compelling; the book does something.”
