Scaling And Growth – Some Perspectives Why do you want to grow?  At the outset this looks like a question that is rhetoric, requiring no answers. But it is true that for many of us growth is just a logical arithmetic progression of revenue or a lofty goal-based journey that we seldom complete. Most of our efforts as individuals and leaders are to intervene in the natural process of growth so as to expedite it towards a purpose. Very often this purpose for growing does not get defined.  The talk  Scaling and Growth – Some Perspectives  is an attempt to place in front of business leaders - the attributes of a growth journey, the points of preparedness and some questions that have to be answered if growth has to be ensured. The 60 minute interaction will open avenues of thoughts that will enable us as a team and as individuals to look at how we have configured our efforts for scaling.  The talk will share experiences, tools and metho

This is my tribute to my father whom I lost this sunday early morning.  He lived a great life and passed away very peacefully in his house, his room and on his bed.  What more does anyone wish for.  Though he was even critical few months back, he was ok and was going about his daily routines within his home. Coming to the point :  More than anything he loved life, loved people, very energetic, and was always looking out for ways and means to help people.  Through his Vastu powers there were many a people who had got great benefits - ourselves including!!!. An avid sportsman himself excelling in both cricket and Table tennis, gave it off because of the work pressure.  Here is the article in today's Hindu sports page which details out his sports achievement http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-sports/raman-81-passes-away/article4678865.ece Raman (81) passes away <a href="http://www.thehindu.com/todays-paper/tp-sports/raman-81-passes-away/article467886

Thanks to chandru, who always gives us good articles, I found the following article about our Indian economy being analzyed by Raghuram Rajan & TN Ninan.  A real food for thought.  With my inlaws coming from a village where the primary activity is Agriculture and having experienced first hand how year after year, we had to spend money with no returns but a lot of debts, I agree with this article fully.  I have also given the link to this article at the end. - Explaining India’s economic troubles Posted: 17 Dec 2011 08:28 AM PST The most lucid insight comes from Raghuram Rajan and TN Ninan This is perhaps the best way to understand what went wrong with Indian economy in the recent years under the UPA. The insight comes from noted economist Raghuram Rajan: Rajan said the problem in India was due to low growth in rural productivity, unlike China where rural entrepreneurship was the biggest growth driver for years.
