Today, we witnessed another milestone as the S&P BSE Sensex closed at an all-time high of 85,169.87, while the NSE Nifty50 touched 26,004.15.

Is ‘dropshipping’ the next big e-commerce trend? Millennials and Gen Z together run 68% of all dropshipping stores. What’s interesting is that dropshipping isn’t even a millennial invention. It can be traced back to the 1960s and 1970s when mail-order companies pioneered this innovative fulfilment method! But why exactly is dropshipping gaining traction among young entrepreneurs? Dropshipping allows businesses to sell products without ever holding inventory. Stores forward customer orders to suppliers who directly ship the products, freeing up resources in the process. It is simply a low-risk, high-reward model. In the latest edition of our Create Wealth newsletter, we delved deep into – ➡️ What is dropshipping, and how does it work? ➡️ Dropshipping market: A booming industry ➡️ What it takes to establish a dropshipping business in India ➡️ The Indian dropshipping landscape and key players ➡️ The entrepreneurial wave: Why Millennials and Gen Zs are embracing dropshipping ➡️ Shopify: From being a startup to becoming a dropshipping titan 🔗 Access the full newsletter here - https://lnkd.in/dWaSwjYh P.S. — Every week, over 3,50,000 wealth creators receive actionable insights from us on finance, business and wealth creation.

The US Federal Reserve has made a significant move, cutting its benchmark interest rate by 50 basis points - the first decrease since 2020. This decision is sending ripples through global markets, and investors are keenly watching the Indian markets. Our co-founder, Vaibhav Porwal, shared his insights with Vaamanaa Sethi of LiveMint, offering a historical perspective on how such decisions have influenced Indian markets in the past. To add context - historical data shows that Indian markets have had mixed reactions to US Fed rate cuts.
