With the help of RCMMS, operators in varying industries can immediately respond to and fix any issues and problems arose at a production line efficiently, putting them in complete control.

Route Mobile Records Weak Operating Performance In Q4, 2022

BUY

CMP: Rs1213  

Target Price: Rs1630

* ROUTE delivered better-than-expected revenue growth in Q4, while EBITDAM missed expectations. Revenue grew by 11.2% QoQ/72.7% YoY to Rs6.3bn. EBITDAM declined 180bps QoQ to 9%, 200bps below estimates due to a miss on gross margins, expansion of sales and tech teams for the Masivian business, and expenses related to events.

* Billable transactions stood at 18bn in Q4 (highest ever in a quarter) vs. 16.3bn/8.8bn QoQ/ YoY. For FY22, billable transactions grew 63% YoY to 52bn. Revenue per transaction, excluding email, stood at Rs0.448 (Rs0.385 including email) vs. Rs0.435 in FY21.

* FY22 revenues grew 42.4% YoY (organic growth of ~33%). ROUTE expects the strong revenue growth momentum to continue in FY23 and has guided for at least 40% YoY growth in FY23. It expects EBITDAM to expand ~150bps in FY23 from the Q4FY22 level.

* We cut FY23/FY24 estimates by 0.4%/2.6% considering Q4 performance. Retain Buy with a revised TP of Rs1,630 (earlier Rs2,150) but lower the target multiple to 32x from 42x, factoring in moderation in medium-term growth assumptions due to macro uncertainties and potential business disruptions in new-age tech companies, corrections in CPaaS firms' valuations and dilution in medium-term return ratios with acquisition-led growth.

B2B Marketing Automation Solution Start-Up Inflection Raises $5M In Seed Funding

US and India-based Inflection.io, a B2B Marketing Automation Solution, has received a $5 million seed funding led by MHS Capital. The company is co-founded by former executives of Marketo, Adobe, and Bizible, Dave Rigotti, Aaron Bird, and Oak Nguyen, further joined by Nakul Sibiraj from India as a co-founder.

Other participants in the funding round include Version One, Cercano Management, Matt Heinz (CRO Amplitude, SVP Sales Marketo), Edward Unthank (CEO Etumos), Justin Gray (CEO LeadMD), Adam Schoenfeld (CEO Simply Measured, VP Strategy Drift), Ray Carroll (VP Sales Marketo, VP Sales Engagio), Brewster Stanislaw (VP Product Bizible, Marketo, CPO Demandbase), Patrick Thompson (CEO Iteratively, Dir. Product Amplitude), Prasanna Venkatesan (VP Engineering ZoomInfo India), and others.

Inflection has strong roots in India with Nakul spearheading the headquarters in Kochi. They have also established operations in other cities, namely Bengaluru, Pune, and Chennai.  The company has been expanding exponentially in the past year since its inception and has over 750 members in its marketing community so far. The funds will be used for recruiting and scaling to over ten open job roles in India and establishing an expanded team across the US and Indian markets.

According to Dave Rigotti, the CEO and Co-founder of Inflection, this seed funding will accelerate the growth of the company, and help with better awareness in the Indian market. “The rise of product-led companies, and the emergence of a new end-user era, requires innovative solutions that treat product activity data as a first-class citizen to drive meaningful engagement with customers. We built Inflection with the premise that B2B product-led companies deserve a purpose-built marketing solution to help them drive adoption, revenue expansion, and create delightful product engagements,” he adds.

“At Inflection, we unify data across accounts, individuals, and product activity, giving marketing teams a single view of the customer, and the ability to deliver tailored marketing campaigns across the customer lifecycle. This unique approach will in turn help us provide scalable and constructive solutions to the Indian market. “adds Nakul Sibiraj, Co-Founder and Head of Engineering, India.

Current marketing automation providers make you choose between driving campaigns from CRM data OR product activity data. With Inflection, marketers no longer need to choose - they can drive highly contextualized campaigns utilizing data across account, individual, and product activity data.” said Aaron Bird, Co-founder of Inflection.

Royal Challengers Bangalore fans on Thursday scripted a new GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS® feat for completing most runs between the wickets in an hour at #12thManTakeover, organised by Wings Events and powered by sportswear giant PUMA at Jayamahal Palace in Bengaluru.

A huge group of 187 RCB fans came together to establish a new official record as they completed 823 runs between the wickets on a 22-yard cricket pitch set up at the venue.

Royal Challengers Bangalore were the first T20 team to be placed in the Top-10 list of the most popular teams in the world on social media. RCB and its official kit partner PUMA have consistently focused on creating curated experiences for fans. This time, they have taken it to the next level and created a world record in the presence of the top Indian sports personalities—Dutee Chand and Rupinder Pal Singh.

“PUMA has always believed in connecting fans with sports culture by creating personalised experiential events for them. We are committed to engage and serve our consumers in the best possible way. It was great to see cricket fans come in such a huge number to set this new world record. The atmosphere was quite electrifying, and we are glad to get fans on a single platform for this initiative,” said Abhishek Ganguly, Managing Director, PUMA India & Southeast Asia.

On the occasion, Rajesh Menon, VP and Head of Royal Challengers Bangalore, said, “From the jersey to the stands, we always want to bring our 12th man army closer to the game. We are glad to see our partner PUMA bringing this philosophy alive through one of its kind, a unique on-ground activation on the 19th of May in Bengaluru.”

India’s star sprinter Dutee Chand kickstarted the official attempt for the world record with the first run and was joined by fans, who contributed runs for the feat.

“It was great to be part of this event. I never imagined such a record could be created on a cricket pitch. It was heart-warming to see so many fans unify for this sporting event,” said Dutee.

Popularly known as 12th Man Army, the RCB fans wore the team’s jersey along with cricketing gear while securing the record.

“Fans always play a crucial part in sporting journeys and having loyal and passionate fans is always a blessing for any sportsperson or a team,” Indian hockey team drag-flicker Rupinder said.

With this world record, fans celebrated the team’s impressive run in the on-going cricket season ahead of their final league match against Gujarat Titans tonight as RCB look to secure a playoffs berth. The cricket carnival concluded with the fans enjoying a host of personalised activities curated around RCB memorabilia with a simulated dressing room and Instagrammable zones.
