Is it time to change labour laws in India?

The criterion for analyzing the situation in this case is growth in per capita v/s wage rate and growth in working age population v/s employment rate. In both the criteria we get the negative results. Now, we should discuss what is wrong and where is it wrong. Click on: https://advantedged.wordpress.com/ to read the full article. Regards. Continue

While in Rome, do as the Romans!!

The other day I was just thinking about the changes that have taken place in the advertisements we see, with respect to the way the messages are conveyed. I compared two ads that are very clearly etched in my mind. The first one is of Ajanta Watches (which I think was done by Mudra). It had a music piece by Beethoven playing in the background with a lady playing a very lovable grandma. The point here is the use of Beethoven. The second ad that comes to my mind is that of Pepsi that said, “Yehi H… Continue

Steel - Made in China??

With every passing day I think when the recession will take back its curse. When will the potential candidates get employed without having to behave like beggars on street – those who spent huge amount of money to enhance their skills and knowledge so as to beat the other competitors fighting for the same positions? A small example of how the clubs of the business schools have been affected by Sub Prime (a sneak into the club discussions in our business school): Be it the Strategy club where w… Continue

SOCIAL BACKGROUND OF CALCUTTA

Hey Kolkatan's, do you know anything about our past Kolkata? Please do not misunderstand my question thinking that I am asking you about our freedom fighters. Actually I want to know how many of you can still recount the old Kolkata, or rather Calcutta, behind the new system of shopping malls and multiplexes of new Kolkata. Hardly any one knows about it. Well now I am going to unfold to you the Calcutta of the nineteenth century. In the nineteenth century there were many scholars in Calcutta. Ma… Continue

Swine Flu - Economic Impact!

The impact SWINE FLU might have on Indian Economy! Positive Side * Pharmaceutical Company, Cipla, has launched a drug like "Virenza" to tackle swine flu. Virenza is meant to treat uncomplicated acute illness caused due to Infuenza A&B virus but is priced much above the other drugs (Influenzum 200, etc) in this category. It has positioned itself as a Swine flu drug and is cashing in on the hype. Other pharmaceutical companies are in process of drenching themselv… Continue

Serpents and us

We, at Praxis, have made several relationships and one with snakes remains a special one!!! Each time we see one, it fills us with a sense of excitement, may be fear too. Nevertheless they are really attractive! Reptiles and most humans, I’ve learnt, don’t get along very well together. Most find them creepy from a distance and are paralysed with fear from closer quarters. And that fear often gives way to hate and more often than not, people will kill snakes or at least try to if they come across… Continue

What is Carbon Credit?

Global warming is a modern menace where numerous modern steps have been taken to tackle it. One such step has been taken by the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) which has added an economic meaning to the whole issue. Carbon credit is an innovative way of reducing the carbon emissions and establishing a legal obligation on corporations to act in the best interest of the society. It is an idea which originated during the Kyoto Protocol and has become an everyday affai… Continue

Dhirubhai Ambani - An Incredible Indian!!

Our country has produced some of the outstanding citizens who have been achievers in their own fields and have contributed immensely for the country. Many have devoted their life for the freedom struggle; some managed to find success in sports and have brought pride and glory for our country and its people. In the field of entertainment, our film industry is now recognized globally because of the talent and hard work of the people related to it over a period of time. But my choice of an Incredib… Continue

Joe Madiath- Indeed Incredible

Joe was one of those people one meets when your father calls you out of your room and introduces you to his ‘old friend’ whom he finally got back in touch with. I had faced my fair share of such meetings and walked out one day and was introduced to a kurta-clad person who had a smile of a person who is at peace with himself. At first instance, I found Joe Madiath, founder and executive director of Gram Vikas to be an extremely engaging and focussed person. I found that I need not equal him at ag… Continue

Path Breaking Strategy by Levi's

Levi’s, one of the leading denim wear companies across globe, has once again come up with something new and innovative. This time it has nothing to do with the likes of unbuttoned jeans or for that matter, any kind of new product innovation. This time it has come up with a unique marketing strategy which could take the apparel market into an all-new era. We have heard about EMIs for houses, cars and other white goods; but has anyone heard about EMIs for jeans? This idea has been conceptualised b… Continue

random thoughts!!

Sometimes a person has so much to say but is limited by words, expression, time etc. I sometimes think, how difficult can it be as a human? Wouldn’t I have been better off as some animal, lazing away, eating and sleeping being my only two major activities? But then again here I am limited by my knowledge of animal kind. I’m sure it’s a fight out there too, a fight for survival, a fight to be on the top. If I were an animal with the brains of a human then definitely I would be superseding the oth… Continue

Happy Independence day

"Long years ago we made a tryst with destiny, and now the time comes when we will redeem our pledge, not wholly or in full measure, but very substantially. At the stroke of the midnight hour, when the world sleeps, India will awake to life and freedom. A moment comes, which comes but rarely in history, when we step out from the old to the new, when an age ends and when the soul of a nation, long suppressed, finds utterance.... We end today a period of ill fortune, and India discovers herself aga… Continue

Are we really Independent ??

Yes, this is the question which we need to ask ourselves. We live in an era which is ruled by corruption, corruption and corruption.Hoisting the flag and singing the national anthem has become a ritual only. I know that many will feel the other way while reading this but I would like to ask them that do we ever remember any of our krantikaaris other than these days ? I would like to ask one and all that what have we done to fight against the corruption around us ? Nothing other than comme… Continue

VEGGY FAIR ???

It would be rather meaningless to stand up in the market of meat where you find all meat freaks around and promote them the idea of vegetarianism..... but they would listen ....yes they would .If they would ever realize... If they would ever realize that their desire for meat had cost up to life of a poor infant for hunger in some corner of the country.... Rearing animals for human consumption is a grain-intensive process. It takes an average of 8 kg grain to transform into 1 kg of meat .A pec… Continue

It Can Be Done !!

Hi everybody.. I came across this lovely quotes while surfing and wanted to share with you all. Hope you will like it. " It Can Be Done " The ones who miss all the fun Are those who say, "It can't be done." In solemn pride they stand aloof And greet each venture with reproof. Had they the power they'd efface The history of the human race. We'd have no radio or motor cars, No street lit by electric stars; No telegraph nor telephone, We'd linger in the age of stone. The world would sleep if thi… Continue

KARGIL DIVAS: TRIBUTE TO THE BRAVE MEN IN UNIFORM

"When you go home, tell them of us and say, for your tomorrow, we gave our today!" Today, July 26, 2009 marks the tenth anniversary of "Operation Vijay" which was engineered to flush out the infiltrators and indigenous militants from Kargil, one of the toughest mountain warfare fought till date. This day, "Kargil Vijay Divas" is being celebrated to pay homage to our soldiers, who laid their lives during the 2 month long conflict from May 26, 1999 to July 26, 1999. Tenth years ago, around this… Continue

Why India will do a China

I think India will be a very exciting investment destination over the coming five years. The reason for my confidence is simple: We are likely to experience high and sustained economic growth (in a low-growth world) which will drive corporate earnings and equity market performance. My sense is that India is in the midst of a growth acceleration, which will last years and surprise the world much like what China has delivered over the past ten years. If one looks at India as China with a 10/12-… Continue
