He further said that today when we go online shopping the search algorithm used by the digital platforms show results that is based on the historical consumer behavior. While laying stress on using the mix blend of traditional and modern marketing methods, Prof. Kotler said, "The traditional marketing techniques are based on consumer experience while the modern-day digital marketing techniques are based on historical consumer behavior. My advice to the young and budding innovators is to first study the problems that are currently be faced in the society which should be followed by searching the possible solutions to address those problem by innovating new products and technologies."

Dr. Waldemar A. Pfoertsch said, "Young and inquisitive mind helps in building the technology-driven products which are the future of the global markets.
