DoubleClick launches measurement, analysis tool for online traders
DoubleClick, a provider of marketing tools for advertisers, direct marketers and web publishers, has launched SiteAdvance – a hosted website measurement and analysis solution designed for online merchants.
The tool, which complements DoubleClick’s DARTmail and DART for advertisers’ services, enables business decision-makers to understand the interaction between marketing programmes, site traffic and online transactions and provides actionable information to users to help them improve their online commerce results. SiteAdvance is based on four modules. Two of these, Site Statistics and Merchandising Effectiveness, are currently available. The remaining two which are Campaign Effectiveness and Customer Segmentation, will be available in the fourth quarter of 2002, says a company release.
While the Site Statistics Module provides merchant and publisher customers with information on visitors to their website, Merchandising Effectiveness informs traders which products are selling best to which group of visitors, which sections of a site are generating the best returns, when and why shoppers abandon carts, and what the average order size or items per order is by different groups of visitors.
Campaign Effectiveness enables merchant customers to judge the effectiveness of their outbound marketing and informs merchants which campaigns are working best to drive visitors to buy, as well as provide information on what happens when a campaign brings visitors to a site, and what drives conversion.
Customer Segmentation lets merchants determine the reach, frequency and monetary value of different customer segments. It will help merchants to successfully turn visitors into customers and customers into repeat customers, says the release.

MSM Unify appoints Rohit Kumar to lead India campus business
Ex CollegeDekho COO to drive partnerships, scale campus engagement in India.
MUMBAI: From classrooms to boardrooms, the campus playbook is getting a new chief architect. MSM Unify has appointed Rohit Kumar as founding member and president of its India Campus Business, signalling a sharper push into one of the world’s fastest-evolving higher education markets. In his new role, Kumar will oversee the company’s India business vertical, taking charge of institutional partnerships, campus engagement strategy and domestic growth. The mandate is clear: build scalable, technology-led models that connect Indian universities and colleges with global academic and career pathways, while staying grounded in local campus realities.
Kumar brings over 24 years of experience across telecom, IT services and education technology, an unusually broad mix that mirrors the convergence shaping modern education platforms. Most recently, as co-founder and COO of Collegedekho, he helped scale the business into a Rs 300 crore enterprise, delivering a 67 per cent CAGR over five years and building partnerships with more than 2,000 institutions nationwide.
That growth journey also saw the platform expand into adjacent verticals including learning, marketing services and overseas education, backed by multiple funding rounds from investors such as Girnarsoft, ADQ, ETS and Man Capital.
Earlier in his career, Kumar held senior roles at companies including Bharti Airtel, Reliance Communications, Sify Technologies, Indiatimes and Videocon, where his work spanned revenue growth, operational efficiency and market expansion across key regions including Maharashtra.
His appointment comes at a time when India’s higher education ecosystem is undergoing structural shifts driven by digitisation, global mobility and increasing demand for outcome-linked education. For MSM Unify, the opportunity lies in bridging domestic institutions with international pathways through a more integrated, tech-enabled approach.
As the race to own the student journey intensifies, Kumar’s task will be less about building from scratch and more about connecting the dots between campuses, careers and a rapidly globalising education economy.
