Future is here - Jio

Crystal ball gazing, anyone! Happening now.

Businesses sense opportunities well in time. And good businesses sense it even before most others.

While the talk is about shifting businesses to India post Covid-19 pandemic, smart businesses have sniffed what is already an opportunity but, probably, underestimated.

In the last few weeks, investments of Rs 1,17,588 cr (for a stake of 25.09%) in Jio Platforms and Rs 75,000 cr announcement by Google (almost US$ 25.7 billions put together) into the digital economy of India have been made/announced.

Perhaps, the ecosystem will develop faster if all stake holders, policy makers, educational institutes, edtech platforms, media etc, develop the talent pool and facilitate the process. India saw it's first 'J' curve moment with 'Y2K'. Is this the time to 'build' a second 'J' curve moment?

Every professional would do a great service to self by getting to know more about this fast growing ecosystem.

Remember the great words by late Dewang Mehta at India Internet World 2000. India needs roti, kapda, makaan and bandwidth. How right!

Are you ready?

Scaling up? How about doing it in a short time? How about when demand is much beyond your plans? How much is much? Let us look at how such enormous challenges have been met in a matter of a few weeks. India was found awefully incpacitated to meet the demand of masks, PPEs and sanitizers. Demand soared by 1000X (and perhaps even more). In a matter of under 8 weeks, we started manufacturing all three in reasonably required quantities. Adjacent skills were deployed. Licences granted at lightening speed. And by 12th week, we had more than enough capacity and stocks. So much that we are exporting all of the requirements to the needy across the world. And costs and prices have gone down by 3X if not more. Can you do a simulation of your business for such a scenario? How quickly can you pivot? It's an amazing case study of entire industry standing up to the challenge. #covidopportunities   #businessexpansion   #pivoting   #businessmaze

The biggest concerns - how we tackle?

These days, there are two topics of discussion. One about the national security and issues related to it and second, economic scenario and its impacts on individuals (own and in the organisations they work in). Jobs are difficult to come by. Packages are not as great as they used to be. How do students in B schools etc tackle it: - toppers are more worried about how much money will they make - others are looking at beyond placement cells - companies that were shooed away till last year are being treated with great honour - some students have resorted to contacting their freinds, long lost uncles, relatives etc to seek a favour On talking to a few CXOs, it was clear that making contacts to seek favours actually works to the detriment of the candidate. They all agreed that people is the key concern for them to run a business. They clarify quickly that it is all about RIGHT PEOPLE. How many students are actually writing to the organisations specifically demonstrating how they can add val...

377 and more

News on 377 has created not only a huge amount of interest in a large number of people but thankfully has also generated a huge amount of humour. Post Bush and tired of Santa/Banta this is a good relief. Meetings burst into laughter when similarities are made with same gender sex for business situations. Are we finally accepting this socially? At least in some sections of society that is becoming larger day by day.
