India Poised or Ephemeral Pleasures ?

What great achievements by India in the recent past. The multibillion takeovers by the Tatas, Ranbaxys, Birlas and many more. Sustaining growth at over 9% is commendable. Foreign investers vying to foray into Indian markets. Government eying SEZ options beacons humongous growth. Its been a resounding victory for the individuals and the nation. The passion to perform and zeal to excel is conspicuous. 2006 is mere history. Are all the milestones achieved? Will the existing market scenario coast the nation towards Development?

Although Indians are regarded as a highly productive and cost-efficient force by the west, excessive megalomania can lead to digression. The service industry has billowed in the last few years. It has been a source of employment for hundred thousands of natives. The purchasing power of the common man has increased manifolds. Following huge demand for technicians in the service industry, the packages offered by the big brands in market are mind boggling. Probably that's the reason why the surging inflation rate hasn't had such a hype by the nationals. Conglomeration of these factors result in booming economy. But the increasing growth might raise alarm bells for the foreign customers and they in turn would start venturing for alternative global markets like China and Brazil. Its time to handle such critical issues and think of countering measures.

Moreover, China being a major technical power, growing at a higher rate than India, hitherto faltered to covet huge consignments. The major reason for this had been their existing economic policies and secondly the language barrier. China has decided to open up their markets for globalization by 2009 and the affects are palpable. Language prophecy can be acquired over a period of time. That should not be a concern for the Asian giants.

If India fantasizes of becoming a superpower by 2020 we will have to explore key areas where further development is possible. We should leverage technology to create a wider impact on indigenous growth. This would reduce our dependence on foreign clients. Exemplifying the fact, within the last few years the number of nationalized banks have increased. Technical advancements have made it possible to centralize operations that have proved fruitful for the customer and provider and fortifying the service industry. Such advancements would cater to progression and make us self sufficient.

Therefore, if India needs to sustain its rocketing growth, its imperative that we develop our research and development domains and zoom into key areas of improvement. We have to keep our knowledge and skills updated to be at par with the competitive world. This would improve our productivity and stamp our superiority in global market. Its time not to be complacent on past laurels and rather utilize the existing fillip for fostering development in modern India.

The closest octagon

This entry is dedicated (sounds mourning, isn’t it); or rather written to honor my closest and dearest chums at Infy. Don’t exactly know where to begin from. But I would like to reincarnate the memories of Hyderabad. Remember the day when we got news of our postings after an extended training at Infosys Mysore. The fairytale starts with a bus ride from Mysore to Hyderabad. A fleet of approx 80 Finaclites, all filled with joy of clearing their compre’s; stepping into their professional careers. I was completely ignorant that a tenth of them would glue together so amazingly that their lives would be entwined in a manner that the threads would always mingle with the present; wherever future takes them and whatever the past impinges upon. The stay at the Woodbridge hotel culminated in moving into our new apartment. Three new folks from different regions, best buddies from college days. I was completely new to their company and not being a hosteller my entire life, brought in varying perspe...

The Masjid Mania

The military attack by Pakistan on its indigenous Lal Masjid has taken a lot of stick from the chauvanic Islamic pundits. But the audacious act by President Musharraf, whether or not goaded from US or China should be commended upon. The president has taken a first ever courageous step to thwart the malign intentions of extremists residing within the country and using creed and religion as a major agenda to fight against humanitarian causes. But the major setback came when the Al-Qaida protagonist al-Zhawari launched an verbal attack against the president and his forces describing their effort as atrocious and un-Islamic. He openly confessed that this brutal deed can only be repented by Musharraf's blood. Although such vacuous threats would have little or no effect on the President and his forces, but the country can in now way remain ignorant from the valiant efforts and courage displayed by the extremist group. Moreover, with support from major superpowers like USA and UK it would...

My tryst with Maths!

The journey has begun. Have gathered a lot of information and study material . My earnest attempt would be to wrap up the Nova's GMAT Prep Course within 6 weeks. Have started with Mathematics. Maths has always been my forte. Getting 90% accuracy on the first attempt. But its just the beginning. Wanna stretch that figure close to 100. The destination is a lot further than it foretells . The area I will have to slog on is Data Sufficiency. Never ever handled such problems at school or university. Statistics and charts give me nightmares. Being a colorblind it would be difficult for me to judge different colours on the chart. Pondering how humiliated people would have felt when discriminated on basis of Colour. Feeling like one of them now.. The 'that' and 'who' concept still amuses me. I wonder why the schools demand the manager to have a fetish for such little concepts. Practice, practice and more practice. That is what is required. Will have to set some deadlines fo...
