The Rise of Social Media in the Digital Marketing Ecosystem-Telecom companies and media organizations are capitalising on this transformation, using platforms like Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn not only to engage users but also to deliver branded experiences, drive sales, and create loyalty.

Which types of content or applications do you believe will drive the greatest advantages from billing technologies, and why?

Shweta Gupta Streaming platforms, gaming applications, and productivity tools rely on recurring payments, making them perfectly suited for efficient subscription management, billing cycles, and revenue collection. Moreover, content providers can leverage advanced billing technologies to introduce flexible pricing models, bundled services, and targeted promotions, which makes them suitable for billing technology like DCB where no credit card needed, just a tap and you are in and also it increases user retention and ARPU. These strategies enhance monetization opportunities while bolstering customer retention efforts.

As someone with expertise in Google Ads, how do you see its role evolving in the coming years?

Ritu Tayal Google Ads will continue to be a crucial tool for businesses to reach their target audiences effectively. In the coming years, we believe the role of Google Ads will go beyond just targeting and bidding—it’ll be about leveraging AI, first-party data, and automation to create deeply personalized, privacy-safe experiences across Search, YouTube, Discover, and more. However, the focus will likely shift toward more personalized and data-driven campaigns. It’s an exciting time to be in this field as we explore these advancements. Google Ads will evolve as a full-funnel growth engine, blending automation, data, and creativity to help brands connect with the right users—at the right time, with the right message.

Do you think affiliate marketing will continue to be a vital and trusted channel for Digital marketing propositions, or do you foresee alternative market approaches gaining prominence? If so, what potential alternatives do you think might become more widely adopted?

Shweta Gupta Affiliate marketing has long been a staple in the Digital Marketing ecosystem—but times are changing. With increasing security concerns, rising instances of fraud, and growing scrutiny over deceptive practices, many businesses are rethinking their acquisition strategies.

Consequently, businesses are increasingly turning to more secure channels, such as Google advertising, social media platforms, and app stores. These alternatives provide greater control, improved security, and more dependable methods to connect with customers, reducing risks and fostering trust in marketing initiatives.

These platforms empower marketers with better control, real-time analytics, and safer pathways to reach users — building trust and driving quality at scale.
