In this new and unique Column in DQ Channels under Top IT Associations in India, we have covered the All Delhi Computer Traders Association (ADCTA)  New Delhi and gathered deep information, insights of the association, and Delhi and NCR IT Market.

History/ Journey of ADCTA- New Delhi as an IT Association.

All Delhi Computer Traders Association (ADCTA)  is based at New Delhi‘s Nehru Place which is the  Biggest  IT  HUB  in India and world 2^nd largest Computer Market. It started its activities since 1985 and is the registered association since 2002, contributing to enhancing the Delhi NCR’s IT products and the Computer Market. We strictly believe in Friendship Behavior and Fraternity.

ADCTA objective is to strengthen the Dealer and Distributors Network and its Goodwill in the Competitive and tempting on line Seller Portal market whose intention is short term and only to gather the customer data and take big foreign Investment and exit.  We could easily understand it by seeing that may E-Commerce Portal vanished or transferred their rights, and many vendors not accepting the payment gateways due to the fraud in bulk transactions.

How is the market performing in the last 6 months?

Out of the last 6 months, 5 months is the Corona Pandemic Time, and first 3 months of it is Lockdown period.  So, no doubt, it is tough for all IT Product sellers. But, there is a positive side of it also that people feel  IT products as a Necessary Necessity in their Life and Work From Home and Study from Home culture became the way of Life across all Businesses or professions and Corporate, MSMEs as well as Students. Hence Laptop, Tablets, Video Conference Products, Networking, Internet-related products were sold in huge quantities. On the other hand, regular IT Projects of  Corporate were abandoned for a few months.

However,  due to the heavy sale and scarcity of Goods, due to non-import, the prices of the goods increased very much, which compels the user to postpone the purchase if possible. But the good news is that it gives birth to the Make in India concept in IT products also. However, we had got some relief that some big manufacturers had started import of products again to feed the requirements.

Campaigns regularly run by ADCTA towards cleanliness, steps taken for GST regime and taxation, different brand journey and their prime distributors and dealers, IT Innovations, GST and other tax Structures and clarifications, and circulated through its 7 different Whatsapp groups of different type of coverage which includes awareness about GST and other tax guidelines, products availability and prices, meetings, social and cultural work, educational cartoons and quiz related to IT world etc.

What are the different challenges/ issues with the vendors or customers?

Challenges are an integral part of any business and it provides opportunities for growth.

1. Predatory Pricing by E-Commerce portals is the biggest challenge that conventional trade is facing today. Unfortunately, all OEMs / Vendors are tacitly supporting or preferring those cash-burning portals, which is a threat to channel as a whole. Moreover, the goods return policy, makes the customer more confident to buy, though it is harmful to the other customer, who get those same goods repacked.
2. During Corona Pandemic, Non-movement from Home, compelling people to buy from the online portal.
3. Back-end Incentives commitments are not being honoured by some Vendors, under some or other pretext, which hits channel very hard.
4. Payment stuck, scarcity of goods and less sale in this lockdown and Unlock situation has put a severe blow to the  IT product dealers.
