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!

Power of observation

Mr Topiwala observed his niece being very interested in dressing up. He engaged in a discussion and came to understand a pain point of large number of Indian women. Something that women are very passionate, possessive about and have a very strong emotional bond, almost unbreakable bond. He created a new product that solved a huge effort and a recurring problem. And this was a self sticking, in varying sizes and design and in colours preferred by women, red and maroon. Since its launch in 1985, the brand is a huge dominant one in the market. Almost synonymous with the category. Companies would envy such a dominance. Over the years many innovations were brought about like iodine enriched, dermatologically tested and many more. 'Shilpa' bindis. An amazing story of a dominant brand that solves a real problem through acute observation. Would love to know of more such stories. #bindingmachine   #observation   #consumerneed   #businessmaze   #indianmaze 204-1-20

Is West leading the East? Ignorance can be a bliss!

There is a side effect of every medicine just as there are always pros and cons for every decision. Coupled with this, excess of anything is harmful. India has perhaps one of the largest numbers who can read/understand English. English is very closely associated with the "Developed World". Hence, our English media is greatly influenced by the "Developed World". It actually goes further from media to individuals. The more "cerebral and globally connected" individuals are all a ball of gloom. R written large on their faces and expressions. There are enough reasons given, even for India. - Current slowdown - Approaching elections - Job slashes - Next monsoons To me it is a clear sign of clouded mind. It is so visible in the English newspapers vs local language papers. Headlines in English media all talks about - losses, layoffs, slowing demand, US companies going down under etc. Language papers talk of recent elections and promises, banks slashing interest ra...

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...
