Every company these days from tech to real estate to consumer products companies are using digital marketing to reach to their customers. From Small and Medium business companies to big MNCs, all of them understand the value of reaching directly to the customer. Digital marketing helps customise your offering according to what the customers wants and has a very high return on investment due to low costs involved and hence each company is using digital marketing. In the future, this trend is only going to see an upward trajectory because of the high internet penetration in tier 2 & 3 cities and various villages across India.

19.What do you feel is the major difference between entrepreneurs and those who work for someone else?
Entrepreneur is a totally different breed they hustle no matter whether they are getting benefit or loss in their target. They are kind of people who never tired there thinking is different from other most of the entrepreneur i have meet found that they never spend time in doing such a things which is not beneficial like spending time in useless things.. Their mind always thinks business, business and business. However other people try to find comfort zone and become tired working few hours or when not getting achievement in something they lose their productivity and interest very soon. But entrepreneurs are totally opposite of these people. An entrepreneur work for satisfaction of achievement not only only and they hustle for their target without losing hope.

Rapidly changing technology, tools and products, competitive price and freelance marketplaces and talented employee crisis due to freelancing option available in market, however freelance is also good for small business because they can outsource their project sometime.
