Happy Independence Day for all Indians

To all our Indian readers, we wish you a happy independence day. May the 66th independence day usher in a new era of growth, economic and social prosperity and development for all the citizens of our motherland. While we celebrate, let us take an oath to rededicate to our motherland our services which will ensure a new direction for the rising sun.Let us consciously change ourselves to be able to choose to serve the nation’s interest, while keeping aside all other interest, sometimes, even compromising our own. Let us change ourselves for the greater good.

Sharing another scanned document of the first newsprint of the first dawn of independence when the citizens of India saw the morning in a new light of glory.

Feel free to share the photo with all your friends.

BTW did you read Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru’s memorable “Dawn of Independence” speech on the first independence day. http://business-fundas.com/2010/pandit-jawaharlal-nehrus-memorable-dawn-of-independence-speech/

Business Fundas has been revamped

To all our thousands of subscribers, we thank you for being there for us patiently. We have finally revamped the Business Fundas website, after its database crashed at the hosting server. Do mail us your comments and suggestions on how we can improve the look and feel of this blog.  A wordpress based new theme has been implemented, and we have made a substantial effort to speed up the page loading time. Also, we have minimized the external links to social media directly. Hope all these changes would ensure a better readability from all places, including work.

Top Business Schools of India

The top business school rankings of India is again out. The rankings are based on the survey done buy Pagalguy, the premier platform where B-School aspirants, alumni, faculty and industry forms a part of the ranking. We agree more or less to the rankings brought out in this survey. The B-Schools have further been color coded in bands, based on our perception. The bands are made based on the perceived potential level of openings that a student coming out of these institutes may have, once he joins the industry. It has been assumed, that the opportunities within a similar band to top jobs or top career prospects, will be homogeneous for students within a band, in an abstract manner.

Business Cartoons – Careers

Do you plan out your career? A most common question in the interview is where do you see yourself in the next 5 or 10 years. Any thoughts on that? Most people fumble when asked this simple question that often makes or breaks a career.

Office Cartoons – Coffee Break

Some of our colleagues always seem busy loitering around the coffee vending machine. Despite their apparently not working as hard as some of the others, they always seem to do just great. What can be their secret success story?

The road to success is not an easy one to travel. To achieve it, some professionals work hard, others work smart. Which one would you prefer?

Business Cartoons – The Super Talker

Do you have a super talker in your office? What do you call him? How do you handle his incessant ranting about things that bother you the least?

Business Cartoon – Survival during recession

So what would you do if your firm is facing problems from lowered revenue generation due to a dip in market conditions? If your boss breathing fire over your back, especially if you are in the sales division? Possibly although you are doing your best, still the sales of the company is dipping. Even if the general conditions of the market is bad, there is so little you can do.

Always remember, when the going gets tough, that is the actual time when the tough gets going. And tough people always survive the hard times and eventually emerge as winners.
