Rs. 450 Crores sales

 A sales figure of 92 crores  in a day !!!!  Good strategy and implemntation done to avoid loss of customers  - WOW is what everybody will say when they read the headlines and how I wish it was my organization sales that was being talked about like this.

But wait a minute, this sales is not something that I am proud to be writing about, but most concerned.  It is the Government sales during Diwali - Not the Handicrafts, not the textiles or Crackers or Food grains.  It is the sales done by TASMAC, the chain that sells liquor.  And the TV Channel touts it as an achievement by the Government.  Where are we heading.   Should my government earn by this method.  I would rather pay higher state tax, but not this way please.  How many households had to sacrifice their diwali bonus towards something some imporatant than this sales..  What misery it would be to see your beloved consuming this much of increased quantity and make themselves ill....

May this situation change please

It is a shame! On one side the Government (time I stopped using uppercase G) is giving away rice with worms for Re.1 and free color TVs and the other side, it milks the people of their hard earnings thru TASMAC. I am surprised to see that the shops are open as early as 7am! May be that's why they are called "kudimakkal"?

Dr Natarajan - The Indusrial Queens Maker

This was pending for a long time from me - to write about one of the Best persons in the world - who encourages Woman to Take up the mantle of Owner of their own Enterprise. That why I have named him the Industrial Queens Maker. How many woman entrepreneurs he would have helped in making - must be running in 5 figures already. do you know of anybody other than Dr Natarajan , who has gained a doctorate on his research paper on "Women Entrepreneurship". His work was his life. The post of Jt director, Tamil Nadu Industries Department in`charge of Women Entrepreneurship was the most apt post for him. You go to him with just one dream - Wanting to go out on your Own - He will make it happen - that is the truth about him. He not only used to counsel people about what kind of industry will suit them, but will also advice about the various methods in running it efficiently and also actively help them to get started. He even used to guide them about how to approach the fi

 Rajastahn Tour Dairies Day 5 contd.. So doing a repeat post on this Little Krishna's abode which was the main reason why I signed up for the tour. The most powerful Little Child who makes people fall in love with this eternal bliss of God - Shrinath ji.   How fortunate are the people living in here who can have the different darshans of the Lord at different time of day.  Yes all the Arathis are different with beautiful attire and charming smile and different nivedhayam. Even to stand in front of him is more than enough for anyone.   History of Nathdwara Shrinathji says that during the reign of Aurangzeb, statue of Lord Krishna was moved from Vrindavan to enshrine it at a safe place. However, when the vehicle carrying the statue passed through the particular spot where the temple now is, its wheels were stuck in the mud. The priest accompanying the image interpreted it to be an indication from the Lord himself. People understood that the Lord did not want to move any further. Ther

IT SME FORUM

About 7 months back a group of Entrepreneurs from Chennai who had a common thread of running their software companies got togehter to form a cohesive group - The IT SME FORUM - as a Strategy to accelerate their individual growth through synergy. Each one of these entrepreneurs are successfully running their software companies fighting individual battles to keep the company up and running, maintain a steady growth rate, increase their customer base, etc. Running a company in India is not a easy task - it is literally getting pulled in thousands of direction and believe me - A business leader is supposed to concentrate only on Growth - Marketing - Sales. But I have found that typically in the Indian environ, we get pulled into operations and managing to spend some time for the most crucial aspect of the business. This gave rise to the idea - why not have a platform to share the best practices, to learn how to tackle problems, get a better voice and get a big bandwidth in terms of out rea
