Suchita recommends:1. Advertising will see more prominence in products across EComm, OTT, FinTech & more.2. Too much of the monopoly sits with FB + Google currently; the digital pie will grow but through Marketing & Advertising.3. How 'lending is a feature'; advertising and marketing as revenue streams could become features across the board.4. Rise of Blogs/Substacks + Podcasts giving credibility to Creators.5. In terms of consumer brands/consumer tech, there will be premiumization of basics.6. Beauty & Personal Care: Hair & Scalp-care will see more popularity. 

Varun Recommends: 1. AI will chip away at more creative jobs but also add a whole new set of careers like prompt engineers, etc.2. Web3, Crypto & Blockchain will make a return in a better light than in 2022 but their growth will come from less hype and more boring spaces.3. Long form > Short form video content.
