  MAHA SHIVA RATRI WISHES FOR THE DAY (18-Feb-2023) FOR EVERYONE I am writing this message without any religious bias and religious confinement.

MARKET CAPITALIZATION BASED BUSINESS EMPIRES ARE LIKE BIG BALOONS

MARKET CAPITALIZATION BASED BUSINESS EMPIRES ARE LIKE BIG BALOONS Globally it has been seen and experienced empirically over time, that the Business Empires when stand on being largely dependent on market capitalization valuations and largely leveraging on market capitalization, they remain like Big "Baloons" swelled in size with a lot of air. The Market Capitalization Value is Notional, it is not intrinsic value most of the times, it is based on speculations and not on the realities many times. A few years back, not very long ago, I was travelling with the Chairman and the Owner (Majority Share Holder) of an European Corporation. We were traveling together for a number of days, staying in the same hotels and spending lot of times together while working on an operational mission.  Hence we had enough opportunities and time to exchange views and ideas. They were a family managed group, doing business of about USD 500 million (in turnover) as per records then, wer...

Republic Day of India and Constitution of India

Republic Day of India and Constitution of India Greetings of the Republic Day of India on 26-January-2023 The Republic Day of India is signified by the fact that on this day, the 26-January-1950, the Constitution of India was put to Effect. Though India became Independent on 15-August-1947, from 15-August-1947 to 26-January-1950 it was still governed under the Government of India Act, 1935 that was passed at the Instance of the British Rule. The Real Independence of India to be Governed by its own Constitution was put into effect from the Republic Day, the 26-January-1950 only. The Constitution of India returned the Fundamental Rights to the Citizens of India from this day. The Relationship of the Citizens to the Constitution of India is like the most enjoyable and abideable "Romantic Relationship" of human life, if I can put it in a language every one will understand easily. You enjoy the fruits of the Constitution like any one would enjoy the Romantic Relationship, the ...

NON-RESPONSE COULD BE THE BIGGEST DISEASE OF A SYSTEM: THEY THE SYSTEM LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT

NON-RESPONSE COULD BE THE BIGGEST DISEASE OF A SYSTEM:  THEY THE SYSTEM LEADERS ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT The Bright Example for demonstrating the Non-Response from the today's world could be a Computer System. If a computer system is not giving response, it would mean something which everyone will understand easily as: 1. It has severe flaw somewhere, either the hardware, or the software or the both have severe flaw. In almost all the cases, either the Software has become "Corrupt", or a hardware part has gone out of order which is called as the "Rogue" part after having gone bad. The terminologies are coined by the computer professionals, not me. 2. The System has got in to a state of "Hang" by getting into an abnormal path from which it is not able to come out (of it). The same is the situation in an Institutional System, largely possible, if it is not giving response. It requires Intervention, either to replace the "Rogue" hardware...

MANIPULATED ENTRY AND EXIT IN HELM OF THE (NOBLE) ORGANIZATIONS GLOBALLY : THE EXAMPLE OF THE THE MUGHAL RULE OF THE HISTRY

MANIPULATED ENTRY AND EXIT IN HELM OF THE (NOBLE) ORGANIZATIONS GLOBALLY : THE EXAMPLE OF THE THE MUGHAL RULE OF THE HISTRY   The Mughal Rule is a fit Example of the History regarding the manipulated entry and exit in helm of the (noble) organizations which is an interesting phenomena, globally, not limited to any single place. A ruler who gets enthroned by manipulative practices, gets subjected to similar practices to be de-throned. History is the witness. It keeps happening in all kinds of organizations including the noble organizations as well. The Creators of the Organizations would always have some Noble Purpose behind it. As long as the Creators are in scene and at the helm in control of the situations, they stay in their original vectored directions. However with passage of time, the Helm becomes the targeted place of manipulation, the interest of such motion is understood well. There is no better Example than the "Mughal Rule" here in India, we don't ha...

SHOULD THE NAME(BRAND) "AIR INDIA" BE ALLOWED TO BE USED BY ITS NEW OWNER ( AFTER ITS SALE )?

SHOULD THE NAME(BRAND) "AIR INDIA" BE ALLOWED TO BE USED BY ITS NEW OWNER (AFTER ITS SALE)? There is no doubt and no question that the Airline named or branded as "Air India" is no more owned by the Government of India after its sale by Government of India to the "Tata Group". It is a Privately Owned Airline like any other private airlines either in India or anywhere in the World. "Air India" was the Name of the National Carrier of India (Owned by Indian Nation, the Government of India) for 69 years from 1953 (from the year of Nationalization from the Tatas ) to 2022 (to the year of its re-sale to the Tata Group). The whole world knew that, Air India meant, the National Carrier of India. During the year 2022, last year, "Air India" was sold to the Tata Group of India and thus Air India right now is owned by a Tata Group Company and Air India is under the private ownership of the Tata Group. When Air India was the National Carrier of Ind...

INDIAN RUPEE GETTING ACCEPTANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE WILL HELP INDIAN ECONOMY AS A WHOLE

  INDIAN RUPEE GETTING ACCEPTANCE FOR INTERNATIONAL TRADE WILL HELP INDIAN ECONOMY AS A WHOLE I read this news through First Post, about 35-countries till now willing to use Indian Rupee for International Trade. Giving the link below: https://www.firstpost.com/ business/indian-rupee-going- global-after-russia-35- countries-show-interest-in- inr-trade-settlement- mechanism-11921652.html If this gets into reality, it will help Indian Economy greatly : 1. It will make the Indian Products a tad Cheaper, due to the cost of conversion of Rupee to other Convertible Currencies like USD, EURO and BRITISH POUND gone. In reality, as per my past experience, the conversion cost used to be quite a lot at least 3% +3% (at both sides- at seller's bank and buyer's bank ) and minimum of another 3-5% at the Intermediary Banks. That used to make almost 9-11 % cost of conversion. With this Saving, the Indian Products will be able to pierce the Chinese Business very largely in Exports. 2....

THE ISSUE OF A PORT AND THE FISHER-MEN/WOMEN : WHEN WE NEED THE BOTH

THE ISSUE OF A PORT AND THE FISHER-MEN/WOMEN : WHEN WE NEED THE BOTH I have been reading and tracking this subject for quite some time as it comes in Press and Media from time to time. There are many publications regarding the Vizhinjam port under construction at the Coast Line of Kerala and the local protests on this subject appearing regularly.  I am trying to put a brief summary of the subject matter for digestion of all. What I am observing and saying here is without bias, but this is an issue that needs to be resolved with the fundamental premises as: 1. A port such as Vizhinjam port at the Southern Coast of India is a need for Strategic Reasons for India.   For all Cargo Movement (Containerized Sea Cargo) from and to India whether from European or Middle-East side ( from/to Western Direction of India ) or from and to South-East Asian Directions ( from/to Eastern Direction of India ), normally and mostly have a transhipment ( temporary rest and shifting to ano...
