Unbelievable news for Internet use in India!Mukesh Ambani, India's richest citizen, is implementing a $20 billion 4G mobile network that promises to bring fast internet access to hundreds of millions, at little to no cost.The network, which launched Monday, reaches more than 80 percent of the country. By March 2017, Ambani wants to reach 90 percent. Indians will be able to use it for free until the end of 2016; after that, users will have to pay at little as 149 rupees a month, or what many Americans pay for their daily coffee, $2.25."Anything and everything that can go digital is going digital -- at an exponential rate," Ambani said last week at the annual general meeting of his company, Reliance. "Life is going digital."Ambani's net worth is some $22 billion. Only one fifth of Indians have internet access; Ambani's service promises to revolutionize that figure.

Why Online Fashion Retailers Are Worth Their Dizzying Valuations --Heard on the StreetSource: Dow Jones NewsBy Stephen Wilmot How to justify sky-high earnings multiples for online fashion retailers? The old question has acquired a new urgency as business for traditional clothing shops, most dramatically U.S. department stores, has rapidly deteriorated.The good news for investors looking to shift money into the growing part of the market is that those eye-watering valuations aren't as irrational as they seem.Shares in Asos and Zalando, the European leaders in online fashion, trade for 63 and 51 times forward earnings respectively, according to FactSet. It can be hard to reconcile such multiples with those of bricks-and-mortar retailers such as Macy's at 11 times.The most obvious justification for these differences is in growth rates. Asos and Zalando are both enjoying top-line growth of roughly 25% a year, whereas Macy's is losing sales. But there's an even more crucial consideration: To manage and maintain their growth, Asos and Zalando need to invest continuously in management systems, logistics and advertising. That means they make far lower operating margins than traditional retailers.A theoretical illustration: An investment in an online retailer at 60 times next year's earnings would work out at 29 times earnings after five years of 20% annual sales growth, assuming a constant 3.5% earnings margin. That still sounds expensive. But assume it then focuses on profitability, not growth, prompting a doubling of the margin to 7%--the arguably conservative "terminal" level used by analysts at RBC in their models--the multiple would fall by half to a fairly normal-sounding 14.5 times.This calculus explains why margins are just as closely scrutinized as growth rates. Zalando's shares have jumped 30% since management in mid-July forecast a margin of between 4% and 5.5% this year--up from its previous guidance of 3% to 4.5%. Analysts are particularly excited that the Berlin-based retailer made a second-quarter margin of 13.9% in Germany, Austria and Switzerland, its most mature markets. This is abnormally high, but the four-quarter average of 9.4% is the kind of margin online retailers could make if they didn't relentlessly recycle profit from established markets to expand in areas.The core uncertainty is that nobody knows what margin a mature online retailer makes. The largest player, Amazon--which owns Zappos, the company that inspired Zalando-- is still growing furiously. At 3.3%, its operating margin for the last 12 months is even lower than those of Asos or Zalando, which paradoxically helps explain why its earnings multiple, at 86 times, is higher. The other reason is that Amazon is the market-leader in a winner-takes-all world.Online-retail valuations aren't mad, but their dependence on shifting mature-margin expectations makes them highly susceptible to minor forecast tweaks. The resulting volatility is then exaggerated by momentum traders.This makes for a rocky ride for investors, but it also presents an opportunity to build a long-term stake at a discount. The best time to buy Asos or Zalando is when the market is worried about profitability--as it regularly is. Zalando shares traded for 42 times forward earnings before July's bullish update. Don't be put off by comparisons with old-fashioned chains: For an online retailer, that is cheap.

63.45% seems a healthy growth rate. But from what starting point? From the last RNS we seem to be growing at a much faster rate, albeit from just £5.0 million turnover over the last four months.

The Amazon and Flipkart line would be positive. Rapid delivery and the ability for stress free exchange by return would make a significant impact to online shopping and surely improve sales.

Carterone - look to be a reasonable analysis. I don't have the time to check your figures but I do note the different time periods used by the company. In my experience companies do not do this unless they are trying to obscure the real picture.

"significant growth in sales and brand awareness. Sales* in this period reached GBP5m/INR473m, 115% up on the same period last year, while Koovs increase in brand awareness to 18% has contributed to a step change in web traffic, registered users and social engagement."115% up on the SAME PERIOD last year is rather good.

Please correct my figures if I am wrong, but I found the sales update disappointing.
Apr-Sept 15 (2.8m) + Oct-Dec 15 (2.96m) = 5.76m
Apr 15-Mar 16 (10m) means Jan 16-Mar 16 was (10m-5.76m) which is 4.24m
4.24m in the first 3 months of this year ( around 1.41m per month)
Update is 5m for the following 4 months is 1.25m per month.
Am I wrong?

So assuming we have hit earnings of £15 m P/A we have a P/E of around 7. Asos is 103 and Mr Scotts favourite BooHoo is 77. Conclusions anyone?
