Had a wonderful discussion today on CNBC Awaaz, "Consumer Adda", a show which inspires millions in India to speak up on Consumer related topics. Today I discussed with my panel of eminent guests like Ridhima Dua (Relationship Coach) and Nirali Bhatia (Cyber Psychologist ) on the Impact of Smartphone on Relationships these days and how to control them. Session moderated by prominent Indian journalist, Mr. Vipin Bhat. You can watch the entire episode here. Key learnings: 1) Social Media algorithms are designed to mimic human tendency to consume gossips. 2) It is addictive and needs to be controlled by Zen Modes(and other technical solutions in the smartphone itself). 3) When you are in the mindless scrolling phase ignoring your partner, just "Breath" it calms you down and immediately helps you to take control.

Despite these directives, the necessary infrastructure has not been fully established, and there have been multiple instances where headers and templates have been misused. Unfortunately, telecom operators have not taken sufficient steps to address these issues or trace the origin of the problematic traffic. It seems that telecom companies( airtel, Vodafone Idea Limited) play a significant role in the issue of spam calls, as they are responsible for issuing phone numbers to organizations. In the past, it was easier to identify telemarketing calls because they typically came from numbers associated with specific agencies. However, the situation has evolved, and now spam calls can originate from common numbers, even those starting with familiar sequences like 98102... or 98105..., making it more challenging to differentiate between legitimate and unsolicited calls. This shift has contributed to the growing frustration among mobile users, as spam calls have become more pervasive and harder to avoid. Hey Telcos, it's high time to stop profiting from selling databases containing personal identifiable information (PII) to organizations and enterprises. By ceasing the sale of phone numbers to marketing agencies, you can significantly reduce the influx of spam calls that plague users daily. This is a call to action for the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (TRAI) to step in and address this pressing issue, ensuring better protection of consumer data and privacy. The responsibility lies with both telecom providers and regulators to take concrete steps toward curbing this nuisance.

This guy is delivering at a pace unheard of. Cloud migration in a week is a new benchmark. And most importantly, he has set a precedent for all Indian companies to move to cloud by Indian cos. In just a few crores cost of migration https://lnkd.in/dJPZx4ZW *A quick snapshot of Cloud market* Cloud computing has $300bn annual revenues. Globally, the top 3 players capture 2/3 of the market. 2023 revenues below: Amazon AWS - $90bn Microsoft Azure (Intelligent Cloud) - $88bn Google GCP - $33bn The top revenue drivers for these companies are not AI/ML but Computing & Storage - which is purely infra and commoditized i.e your traditional hard disk. Let's appreciate a startup founder who has the guts to stand against these global giants. Krutrim Ola #Cloud #India #BhavishAggarwal

The first step for any successful GTM in the SMB space in India is identifying and finalizing the target market. With 65M+ SMB’s in India, it’s important to sharpen the exact TG profile – whether its industry, location, size of company, products they sell etc.   This allows a company to target efforts more sharply, create a compelling value proposition for that specific target segment vs. a spray and pray approach. Once you know the exact profile of an SMB that you’re targeting, you can work towards enriching the data you have and how much you know about these potential customers and create sharply targeted communication using AI to nurture base and increase conversions. Set a goal of what revenue you want to target for the year, see what type of SMB’s will help you get there and what gives you confidence, work towards cracking them – at least you will have confidence that your efforts are going in the right direction.

Glad to see DPI being mentioned in #UnionBudget2024. #accountAggregator will play a big role in enabling access to credit to MSMEs. Finance Minister @nsitharaman said that the government would propose development of population-scale digital public infrastructure (DPI) tools by the private sector in areas of credit, ecommerce, health, law and justice, logistics, micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME) service delivery, and urban governance.

India’s Global Capability Centers (#GCCs) are experiencing a significant transformation. Recent data indicates that approximately one-third of existing GCCs are expanding their presence within the country, with half aiming to do so within the next five years. This trend is driven by the need for diverse talent and the desire to mitigate risks associated with location concentration. By establishing multiple centers across various regions, companies can tap into a broader talent pool and ensure operational resilience. The impact of this expansion is substantial. GCCs contribute over 1% to India’s GDP and significantly boost service exports. The market size of India’s GCCs is projected to grow from $64.6 billion in fiscal 2024 to between $99 billion and $105 billion by 2030. This growth is not limited to traditional tech hubs like Bengaluru and Hyderabad. There’s a noticeable shift towards Tier 2 cities, offering cost advantages and access to untapped talent. As we witness this evolution, several questions arise: 1) How can organizations ensure that their multi-GCC strategy aligns with their global objectives while catering to local dynamics? 2) What measures should be taken to maintain a cohesive corporate culture across multiple centers in diverse locations? 3) How can companies leverage the unique strengths of each region to foster innovation and drive global competitiveness? #gics #techoutsourcing #beyondmetros #talentavailability Follow us on #ceosgurukul #firsttimeceos https://lnkd.in/dmg4m2E7

A clear example that GCCs today have become tech accelerators or enablers to their main group entity and are driving core Tech strategy development and decisions. Good to see Indian GCCs leading the wave in #AI engineering and advancements. #Artificialintelligence #AI #GCCs #GICs

Timidity is real serious problem for organisations these days. Timidity isn’t really discussed much, especially in Indian businesses. Broadly, it’s when a company chooses to be conservative by default, and prefers slow and decisive over fast and unconventional. Timid companies prize consensus over conflict. They believe that it’s better to be safe and dull than sharp and distinct. These values manifest across all aspects of the company—its products, marketing, and organisational decisions. Because Timidity is hard to measure, most companies ignore it entirely or write it off as a fanciful opinion. Which makes sense—because timid companies usually prize data over everything else. However, timidity is quite easy and apparent to those outside a company, and even inside it. It’s hard to describe its constituents accurately, but it’s a combination of the company’s marketing, its CEO’s external presence, the environment, and possibly its business performance. And despite the fact that it cannot be measured, there’s a striking amount of consensus—everyone can agree which companies are timid and which ones are not. Ask anyone which is the timid company—Paytm or Phonepe—and most people will choose Phonepe. Meesho is less timid than Flipkart, which is less timid than Amazon. Zomato, Dukaan, and Boat are almost never described as timid companies. A notable exception is Cred, which has done such a fabulous job of being loud and flashy that people forget how timid it actually is. Cred is like that friend that’s aggressively dancing with all the drunk people at the house party, but is actually stone sober. You can try this out with your friends. - Credit : The Ken Newsletter (highly recommended if you havent already subscribed) Can you name a few Timid Organisations that you have seen personally in action with abovementioned traits?
