Soon after the haunting tale of Windows Shadowgate, a new legend emerged surrounding a forgotten and enigmatic version of Windows NT, dubbed, Windows Nexus, or codename Nexus. This operating system was said to be a bridge between the realms of technology and the supernatural. We follow a tech-savvy historian named, Alex, who specialized in uncovering rare software and untold stories of the digital world. Nexus' relentless quest for hidden treasures led him deep into the forgotten archives of computing history, where he stumbled upon obscure references to Windows Nexus. The elusive traces spoke of an ethereal connection between the digital and spiritual realms, and rumors whispered that it held the power to communicate with entities from beyond our understanding. Intrigued and undeterred, Alex embarked on a perilous journey to find and unlock his mysterious version of Windows NT. After months of tireless research and countless dead ends, Alex received an anonymous message containing a link to the encrypted files of Windows Nexus. Despite warnings of the perilous path ahead, his curiosity and determination urged him to proceed. Late at night in a dimly lit room, Alex initiated the installation of Windows Nexus. As the process unfolded, a strange luminescent aura enveloped the room, causing a shiver to run down his spine. Nerving whispers echoed in the background, as if the software itself was trying to communicate. Once the installation completed, the startup screen materialized, revealing a mesmerizing logo that seemed to look familiar to the Windows NT startup screen. Upon booting up, the operating system unveiled a user interface like no other. The desktop background displayed a breathtaking astral panorama, where stars and galaxies seemed to merge with lines of code, blurring the boundaries between reality and the digital realm. The start menu itself appeared as a gateway to hidden dimensions. Its icons resembled sacred sigils, each representing a unique aspect of the Nexus's powers. Clicking on them revealed an array of tools that could transcend the boundaries of the virtual world, granting access to knowledge beyond human comprehension. As Alex delved deeper into a Windows Nexus, he uncovered encrypted files containing cryptic messages from entities of an unknown origin. These messages were a revelation of forgotten histories, cosmic wisdom and the fabric of existence itself. Yet with each step forward, the boundary between the real and surreal began to blur for Alex. He experienced visions of celestial landscapes and encounters with enigmatic beings, leading him to question whether he had truly stepped beyond the veil or if the Nexus itself had become a living, breathing entity. The more Alex immersed himself in the secrets of Windows Nexus, the more he realized the profound responsibility that came with such knowledge. The operating system's true purpose was not to grant unlimited power but to serve as a bridge between worlds, reminding humanity of the interconnectedness of all things. As the legend of Windows Nexus spread, it became a testament to the delicate balance between technology and spirituality. It reminded those who saw its secrets that true wisdom came not from manipulation but from understanding and respecting the mysteries that lay beyond our grasp. And so, Windows Nexus remained an enigmatic relic in the annals of computing history, a forgotten Nexus between the realms of technology and the uncharted territories of the soul. Its legacy whispered through the digital world, waiting for those with the courage to embark on a journey of transcendence and self-discovery.


Marines, we're making the Marine Rifle Squad more lethal, agile, and capable, and here's how.  The new 12 Marine Squad will drop the rifleman and assistant automatic rifleman Billets, appoint a committed grenadier to each fire team, and add two new positions to the squad headquarters, an assistant squad leader and a squad systems operator. So, how are 12 Marines more lethal than 13? Current squads are organized around three automatic weapons. Future squads will have 12, equipping every Marine with an automatic weapon equates to a 300% increase in firepower. Let's meet the squad, the squad leader, a sergeant who leads Marines and carries out orders issued by the platoon commander, an assistant squad leader, a corporal who helps the squad leader with increasingly complex squad operations, a squad systems operator, a lance corporal who integrates and operates a new technology, three fire team leaders, corporals who carry out orders to the squad leader while observing and controlling their fire teams, three grenadiers, lance corporals who effectively employ grenade launchers, three automatic riflemen, lance corporals who effectively employ automatic rifles, the squad will also be equipped with a MAWS, a squad designated marksman rifle, a quadcopter, a Prick 117 Gulf Radio, a Marine Corps common handheld tablet and a squad range finder. To be clear, the mission of the Marine Rifle Squad remains unchanged to locate, close with and destroy the enemy by means of fire maneuver and close combat. Appreciate your support. We're going to move forward and get ready for the next flight wherever it is.


Yes, okay. So I'm the session after the session after lunch, right? So I'll try and keep it interesting But you know, we heard about a lot of importance about data Let's kind of now and the interesting thing that I took from the panel and the great brands that they represent is I didn't know that lens God had you know visits at home to check your eyes So about after the amount of content that I've consumed over the weekend. I'll probably book a you know, I slot You know, I check up You know, you know one of the favorite brands is shivers fix a drink and hopefully I don't call dependent for booking an appointment at pristine care Right, but that's just on a lighter note Let me kind of dig down into the presentation today and I'm here to kind of talk about the opportunity in the open Internet and What trade desk and help marketers do right? audible now Perfectly. All right, so I'm gonna talk about the opportunity in the open Internet through trade desk You know marketing is also about not just about data, but winning hearts and minds right and how do you influence your consumers? To and how to how to kind of basically market is leverage technology in a smarter fashion Is there a clicker which works here? Cool. Perfectly. So I have a quick agenda planned for you. I will introduce you what trade desk does What is the opportunity in the open Internet and basically give you three strategies which is working model for advertisers to leverage right now? starting off right what do what does trade desk stand for and We are basically a track, you know attic platform and we help Help marketers agencies and brands by ads in the most smart fashion Right, most of our buyers are either brands or agencies Just to kind of give you a little background in terms of you know, what we are all about We got founded in 2009. We've got offices in 29 countries We're about 3,000 employees. We went public in 2016 and Luckily, we're growing very very fast in India as well We've already have two offices in India one in Gurgaon or the other one in Bangalore Thanks to all the amazing support they're getting from brands and agencies across Now just to kind of give you a Time chart of you know how we started right we've been profitable since 2013 Our first million dollar month, which is basically the revenue media dollars being spent through the platform was in 2013 and Fast forward to date in 2022. We've had a first two billion dollars spent in the quarter, right? Now let's talk about tapping into the open Internet and how does trade desk solve for marketing? You know needs for advertisers, right now broadly if you see there are two kinds of You know methods where people are spending the media dollars, right on one hand There are these world gardens like Facebook You know you have your YouTube and Google ecosystem and on the other side, which is what we solve for is the open Internet, right? But let's first understand what does open Internet stand for right? What do we solve for now? While you have these world gardens where you know, you have to buy people are consuming content on Facebook Instagram reels and YouTube and what not There's a whole lot of content being consumed in the open Internet, right? And there are various channels people stream audio Music the kind of stream videos a lot of content nowadays being consumed through CTV, right? So there's a whole lot of you know different channels where consumers are spending their time and in the next slide I'll kind of show you what are you know some of the content platforms with the consumers spending most time in right and You know why is open Internet at the center stage of India's digital consumption? now this is a study that we did through canter and a lot of marketers that interested in knowing about what is the reach of the open Internet, right? So the reach through trade desk is about 600 million plus Which is unique reach and almost 52% of the overall time spent on digital media is being spent on the open Internet What are consumers doing and Of course, they are spoiled for choice, right? Like I was mentioning, you know We consume a lot of content on OTT channels stream a lot of music audio video and whatnot But almost 10 hours of Indians are spending time on the open Internet, right? Of course, there is social but there's also music and podcast. There's online TV there is music streaming online press and Also the new, you know, which is the new feature. I think it's not just the younger audience but also a lot of you know senior folks and mums are into gaming which is where you know You know timing timing is being spent, right? now the important part here is that you know, there is an opportunity for marketers to To find and connect to these audiences where they are spending the most time in right and there's an opportunity Kind of build your brand reach out to the consumers where they are spending the most time in Now let's kind of give you another, you know number here, right? Just a sec Alright, so this is again a study that we did right Through canter of trade desk where almost 52% of the time which is almost 10 hours per day is being spent on the open Internet But still the ad dollars are are not towards open Internet, right? They're still being Being spent on the world gardens, which should not be the case, right? and there is a missed opportunity which you can leverage which marketers can leverage and There is opportunity for you to kind of you know reach out to these consumers wherever they're spending time in right and trade Basically solves for an audience first approach Where you kind of find your audiences that you care about where it's mums for a CPG brand Is it a health conscious customer for a you know a health app or let's say, you know, somebody is into You know shoes and jewelry and whatnot. So whatever audience that you care about can be found and Be targeted in the most specific fashion in the open Internet You sure there is something problem with the Okay, now I'm gonna also leave you with three strategies for advertisers to leverage and now let's make it a working session You know, why not just talk about what you can do right right now to kind of leverage the open Internet, right? Number one is omni channel approach Number two is the potential with premium video, right? This is premium broadcasted content, which is brand safe Unlike, you know UGC content, which is there on social media and YouTube. There is a better brand recall There is better opportunity for advertisers to leverage broadcasted content, which is again brand safe and last but not the least You can leverage you activating you can leverage your first party data as well We we heard a lot of examples in the last panel in terms of how brands are collecting the first party data But what do you do with that data, right? Is super important? How do you segmented the right fashion? How do you kind of activate the right fashion is something what rate this can solve for? So let's kind of double-click on each of these strategies first, right? Number one being omni channel approach Let's take a step back right in its infancy the Internet was basically around three channels. There was social There was search and there was email but Right now where we add if you see the content has been consumed across channels and there are a whole lot of other You know Whole lot of other places where the consumers are spending time on right whether it's on demand TV Which is CTV there's news and articles being read on you know times of India You know times of India ET and whatnot. There are digital billboards So if you start visiting Bombay or you know some of the you know new modern cities You must have seen these new digital billboards which have come up which can also serve ads programmatically, right? There are lifestyle blogs which people read quite often and they kind of also stream music online and watch video online, right? So the world has really moved on from social and search and also moved to some of these new content You know consumption destinations, right? Which again gives the opportunity for advertisers to leverage and exploit. I think there is an issue with the clicker Okay, now we all know that the purchase decisions are non-linear, right? Even if you buy a simple shoe or a phone or a mobile phone There's a whole lot of research which kind of goes into kind of you know first converting, right? People kind of go ahead and read reviews. They kind of you know read articles They ask their friends they read publications and then finally they kind of end up buying something, right? What we've seen is purchase decisions don't happen overnight 67% of you know customers are multiple channels to complete a single transaction, right? So they could probably go to reviews they could kind of consume you know videos They could ask their friends they could kind of consume content on you know some of the influencers You know what they say about it, but basically More channels are needed to kind of influence your customer to ultimately, you know drive them down the funnel, right? And this is again, you know one of the data points that we had that the average number of days taken to convert store visits This is done for a QSR restaurant, right? The number of channels when they were increased the average number of conversions happened in a much faster fashion, right? So what you see on the right is the moment they started using more channels The conversion rate reduced from 12 days to five days, right? If they were using only one channel, it could be PC It could be tablet be anything else the conversion days were 12 days and you can realize that QSR is a short You know ticket item value, right? Like you don't buy a burger or pizza at multiple, you know, it's not a high ticket item But if you go and move towards a high ticket item like like a car or a jewelry item The conversion could be much more longer and there is importance for you to leverage more channels In the most smart fashion, right? Again amplifying a singular message which brands are I spoke about, you know Winning hearts and minds amplifying a singular message across multiple channels drives effectiveness What we saw is, you know from moving from one channel to five channels There was an incremental ROI of 35 percent, which you know, some of these brands are getting right So we should probably leverage more channels and also have a singular message being spread across these multiple channels And all of this happens if you keep the customer at the center of Everything, right? It starts with, you know, creating a single view of the customer Which could be a seed audience which could be a first party data and expanding from there creating a lookalike And leveraging the most possible fashion And when you do this when you kind of bring all of this together, we can see a clearer view of, you know What is your part to conversion, right? So let's take this example of, you know, one guy who had the first touch on a ctv platform Which could be samsung ads on third june, uh, then he had two touches on mobile phones One on spotify other one was probably getting another call through true caller Then, you know while watching cricket on espn He finally visits the website but does not kind of, you know convert, right? Reads another article the next day and finally registers the interest on the website You see there are like seven touch points before it finally happened, right? And if you kind of, you know, use this in a smart fashion, there are a lot of takeaways from the path of conversion, right? You can actually come to know what is the average number of ad exposures before conversion You can actually f cap your creators whether you should probably have Three creators being shown to a particular person versus five. Why not? This is the data which can help you do that Average number of days which is kind of taking from converting a user from a first ad being reflected To finally converting and then channel effectiveness as well, right? Whether otis are working better for you, whether, you know Spotify audio streaming is working better for you or you should probably, you know Double down on ctv, right? All of this data when it's available to you you can use it in the much more smarter fashion Now unlocking the potential of premium video is another, you know great thing Which is the second strategy I would like to kind of propose here While youtube is there almost only 40% of the content that youtube produce produces premium in nature, right? Whereas if you compare it to otis, otis are broadcasted premium content, which is brand safe A lot of production, you know time and money goes behind producing the content And what we saw is that, you know, whenever you kind of, you know, showcase an ad on oti or ctv channel There is a better, you know brand recall because it's broadcasted content People are much more in the mindset of consuming, you know, brand messages as compared to ugc content Which is probably done in a scrolling fashion, right? And indians are also more trusting and receptive to ads associated with premium content, which is again Broadcasted, you know premium quality content compared to ugc, right? You don't want to add to be seen when somebody's kind of, you know, running cat videos, right?  It could be done in a pre-roll, you know, non-skippable way Which again kind of gives you the message, you know, in the fuller form, right? And connected tv is again big, right? This is a trend that we've seen across the globe This is a large tv which is, you know, the trend of quad cutters, the new kid on the block India has almost a potential of 30 million households which are using connected tv It's about to grow to 50 million by 2025 So while the scale is increasing, a lot of advertisers are interested in knowing about How can we leverage this new kid on the block as well, right? And in the US and some of the more advanced markets connected tv is actually overtaken Linear already, right? And there could be a possibility where, you know, you can run ads Programmatically, which is, you know, let the machine do the learning And talking for you while deciding how should you run your media and where on connected tv, right? There is a 37% households who are only quad cutters, right? They have not Have they don't have linear tv access at all, right? Because they chose to kind of go with the internet tv way, right? So ctv is more targeted. It's more measurable and more interactive Now it brings you the beauty of all the linear tv advantages in a much more data-driven fashion Right, and there is a proprietary technology that Tradesc has, which is called CoA Identity Alliance, which can help you reach, identify, reach at a household level Also at an individual level and also at a device level, right? Individual users have multiple devices, but can you, as an advertiser, do you want to have an objective of reaching a particular household once? Or do you also have, you know, an objective of reaching all the individuals in that household is something that we can help you solve for? Last but not the least, this is the third strategy I want to leave you with, which is activating and reaching a first-party data, you know, I don't know what is the value of first-party data, you know, for marketers, it's all about not just having the data, but activating in the right fashion, right? But also activating with a partner which can do it in a privacy-safe fashion and helps you leverage it in a more personalized way while taking care of all your privacy and consent protocols, right? Now building is the first-party data collection is again, you know, that's the brand's responsibility, we can kind of give freebies, you can kind of run contests and offers where you can collect your first-party data, but enriching is a whole other game, right? First you have to have a way to kind of onboard your first-party data, you can either do it through your CRM, data collected via pixels, these are basically soft codes invested, you know, inserted on your website, so any action which is happening on your website gets collected and can be activated, and of course the media dollars that you're running, there's a lot of campaign data which gets generated alongside with it, right? So can you leverage all of this data and retarget and continuously engage your consumers in a much more smarter fashion, right? These could be people who have already engaged with your ads, right? Which means they are some way influenced with what is the brand message that you're sending, is there a way for you to kind of target people who have seen, let's say, 50% of your ad, you know, in a video format, right? There is a way to kind of do that, you can also create look-alike models. Now if you already have a data of people who are already your consumers who have shown interest and, you know, loyalty towards your brand, you can find, let's say, 10 times other consumers who are of similar behavioral, you know, nature and leverage that to kind of increase your top funnel and your bottom funnel as well. That's pretty much it. I think if you want to kind of know more about trade desk, have to kind of talk more about it. But we believe that the opportunity for advertisers and agencies and brands is in the open internet, where all your consumers spending increasingly more time across channels, whether it's CTV, OTT, is gaming, is podcast and whatnot. I will leave you with one of the other, you know, reports that we did recently, which is, which has a whole load of other insights. And there's the QR code if you want to kind of leverage and scan it, which is, which is going to give you a lot of insights in terms of why the open internet matters and how it can be leveraged by, you know, brands and agencies. So thank you so much. I can take a few questions if there's time, otherwise I'm good. All right. Thank you so much for your time.
