9. Alternate Business Models & Emerging Channels

How are alternate business models evolving in emerging markets of the world? What role will new-age channels such as livestreaming and human-less shops play in the future? 

Today’s episode is hosted by Sandeep Das, Global Foresight Lead for Emerging Markets. He is joined by Jessica Southard, futurist within Mars Global Services, Salim Zanari, Human Intelligence Director for Emerging Countries for Mars Wrigley and Justin Stokes, Co-founder and Managing Partner of Ananda Partners.

Together, they discuss consumer trust, human behavior patterns, unconventional partnerships and the heart of FMCG in emerging markets: traditional trade. Will traditional trade significantly lose share to e-commerce in the future? Sandeep shares his personal encounters with the shopkeepers in his youth in India and gets curious about how soon these futuristic channels will affect the emerging markets.

Join us as we ponder whether or not livestreaming in China will be the premier global online shopping experience and much more!
