MANAGEMENT MANTRAS

MANAGEMENT MANTRAS.

The successful business people in the recent times have been mostly Indians, some without any track record of studies in management of big corporate or the calculative percentage who makes it big through financing and earning profits through taxing the unfortunate lot who, during troubles approach financiers only to be trapped as a result of the never ending interest and principle payment.

The sad plight of our farmers is indication enough of the unfair means used to earn wealth by some of those cunning guys who thinks the wealth as the only answer to all our questions.

Those are the people, I have seen from real life experience, suffering mostly due to the burden of holding vast fortunes, which in turn makes them even sleepless due to their fear of protecting the same and the never ending quest for more and more as one American businessman once remarked to a question of a reporter who enquired the limit up to which he wants to earn? His answer was always one dollar more.

At the end of it all is the other question what difference does one make by living once, to all those people of the society and family members and the world at large. Money does not replace the inner happiness one gets when seeing others enjoy the benefit of your life’s efforts rather than the hindrance to others’ life while you make money out of the suffering of other human beings.

We in India have scientific approach to all those different management techniques for about at least, 20 thousand years our scriptures in Sanskrit have koudilya’s and other
Sastras[science] as can be verified, which has survived like no other written scripts in the history of mankind ,the established thought of Europe and Caspian sea side as the origin of modern culture is rubbish as can be proved by the written existence of those Vedas,Upanishads etc, and found in India which, has been copied by the so called patrons[westerners] even to the point of making patent rights in their favor.[Refer Indian institute of scientific heritage sites]

The success story of Indians making it big in the international arena was not a surprise for our business people of Rajasthan , Gujrat and so many other states with communities who were in the business field for generations and most of them have the capability of outshining in any given field with fare play. Once when our license based economy was replaced by an open playing field for all and sundry, it was only a matter of when rather than if we can do it or not.

Lack of opportunity was the ultimate hindrance. We have learned enough lessons to know what is best for us.




I was deeply concentrating on the pulses in different places of India having had the opportunity to travel and work in different places and in different cultures in India it self from North East to down south. My own experiences have taught me many a lesson in dealing with different problems and different solutions in difficult situations.

Now most of our Metro cities have come to a level of stagnation and is unable to provide space for anymore far reaching development. The result is searching for more developments with better infrastructures. Our experience has again taught us the far-reaching consequences of development without planning as can be seen from our metros, during flooding and epidemics born out of our own blunders or lack of sensitivity towards our future generations, who may suffer mainly due to the lackluster attitude of the present generations.

The importance of the second line of metros have become more important here, with Cochin with access to undersea optic cables connected to the Middle East and Coimbatore with its vast human resources and inward remittances, both Cochin and Coimbatore has become the cynosure of all eyes as these are the places where we can plan more ahead and make successful business centers and manufacturing hubs without getting stagnated in the future as was seen in four of our metros .For that to happen we have to start looking far ahead while going about the growth of our infrastructure and also must make sure we leave behind a better and more healthier environment for the future generations.

As our outgoing president pointed out, if we can make a billion people smile then our life will be more worthier than those big billionaires who refuse to share their vast wealth with the hungry and hopeless. History will not remember a person who was the richest, but certainly will remember those noble people, who made the life of the suffering human kind better and made them smile.
