Working In India Post 2014
Working In India, A right decision ?
Few years back, I received a forward mail about futuristic value of Indian Rupee Vs American Dollar. It described various possible situations, If 1 INR is equal to 45 USD.
Today morning, I woke up with a sudden thought. India is playing this game differently, Our Economic think tanks have pre analyzed various possible scenarios that could arise out of liberalizing our country's economy.
If that is the case,
1. Inflation happening in our country is pre programmed. And subsidized diesel is not just to help common people, but an indirect way to control inflation.
2. Successive governments will have to play the role of Robin hood through freebies. And indirectly help in increasing the labour cost [thus inflating the price].
3. Middle Class/Lower Middle class will be caught on the neck [due to their own pride of doing dignified job] and will be forced to work hard to cope with the inflation. Which means Quality working slaves, who will sacrifice their own life for the sake of nation.
4. In 1991, Prices of Various Commodities, Dollars & PCI
INR 14.62 - 1 lt petrol [Import based]
INR 10.00 - 1 Kg of good quality rice [Domestic production]
INR 17.86 - 1 USD
INR 11,586 - Average Annual Per capita Income.
The same in 2013,
INR 78.54 - 1 lt petrol
INR 55.00 - 1 Kg of good quality rice
INR 55.46 - 1 USD
INR 68,747 - Average Annual Per capita Income.
Observing the above trend, we can conclude India is devaluating its currency indirectly for better interests in global market. To keep people insulated from the shock of this devaluation, efforts are being taken to ensure sufficient cash flow at all levels of society.
Okay in simple words, While the attention will be towards keeping 1 USD = 50 - 55 INR, Domestically 100 INR is becoming 10 INR of 1991. Which means 1 USD = 5.5 INR presently & will keep further decreasing.
In future working in India will be more economical & beneficial to individuals except minus like polluted, corrupted, So called Indian jealous attitude, lack of sufficient infra structure environment. But I promise, we are improving in these areas too.
Welcome to India.
Wal Mart - A threat or Need of this Hour
Analysis on FDI in multi brand retailing, including agriculture produce.
Let me start with a quote
"Indians are not like Americans, Indians are not like Europeans & Indians are not like Africans. Indians are unique people, with keen analytical mind & resource conservation attitude."
And it will be fundamentally wrong to predict a disaster, just by over viewing the outcomes at these places.
Before going into the subject, I would love to put across a set of questions, which will be related to our understanding on things impacting our[or the Indian Majority] livelihood.
"A system should create solutions, explore possibility which would benefits the masses. Not a just Minority."
1. Do we know how many transactions happens before an agriculture produce or any other goods reaches a consumer.
2. Do we understand, In a price sensitive Indian market. To keep the prices low & Competitive, quality had been compromised most of the times. [Extreme riches, Pls excuse this may not be an article for you]
3. Do we have any clue upon, How Rate tag "INR. 1XXX/-" is given to any product ?
4. Do we understand there is difference in number of goods available & number of goods available to us in our region ?
5. Are we observing keenly, market is getting divided into two. Sub - standard, defective, "low" priced rejected goods & Good quality, less available "High" priced goods.
Okay, I am proposing 1000 people theory for simple understanding.
2% people or 2.1 Crore people are employed by government. And in India not less than 3.2 - 3.5 Crore spouse/children/Father will be dependent on them. Which makes them our first 60/1000.
45 - 50 % people are involved in agriculture. That is around 45 -50 crore Indians. Which will be our 400/1000.
18 - 20 % people are dependent on manufacturing activities. That is around 180/1000.
Around 4 % people are involved in trading - political related activities.
28 % people are dependent on service related jobs. Which is around 34 Crore people. Excluding govt servants, It should take our tally to 300/1000.
Note : 28% Indians are below poverty line, or roughly 300 poor ones for every thousands. Which will be majorly over ridding in Agriculture & Manufacturing job dependents.
So lets sum up : 60 + 400 + 180 + 320 + 40 = 980/1000. Remaining 20 people are misc uncared, unheard, un seen[noticed], sadly renounced by the majority.
[Students, Aged, Home makers, unemployed are included in above figures indirectly]
By now, we should have got a clear idea. All our emotions showing a poor old women with few vegetables is just to garner sympathy. We don't get into detail, otherwise we can clearly see less than 40 people out of 1000 people, control over 70% - 80 % money in domestic circulation.
So why should we involve one more trader here. That too a trader from America, who has spoiled local shops livelihood.?
My observations would be, "If Wal - Mart has to succeed in India, he has to sweat out, do things out of the way & offer results that are really inviting."
My charges against Indian Traders
# Always kept farmers/manufacturers uncertain & capitalized on that.
# Always ensured demand for good products, by low supply & capitalized on that.
# Never involved/invested or educated farmers/goods producers for improving the quality. [Refer Murugappa Parry - Sugar Farmers relationship].
# Never interested in sharing the resources or making goods producers rich, there by indirectly keeping Indian Producers globally uncompetitive. As they lacked resources & infra to execute things.
# State Politicians - Religious leaders - Traders formed an alliance, Kept masses at desperate state.
So Wal - Mart, If at all had to succeed in India. Will have to first work/associate/invest with Manufacturers for better quality produce. They have to create a sense of security among producers & in return earn "So called Indian Un breakable trust".
They have to create better infra structure to ensure goods reach faster to destination & ensure goods are not perishing due to improper transportation/ Storage.
They should help create "New Indian Brands" by investing in Indian Talents.
Answer to questions proposed earlier.
1. In a typical urban city, nearly 4 - 5 transaction happens before product reaches consumer. In a semi urban city, it is 3 transactions.
By introduction of Wal Mart, it will become one or two transactions.
From Bihar to Delhi [For a farm produce]
[Farmer [B] - Local collection agent [B] -Central Collection trader [B] - Central Dealer [D] - Distribution Agent [D] - Local Vendor [D] - Consumer]
By Wal Mart
[Farmer - Wal Mart - Consumer/Local Vendor - Consumer]
* Local vendor should in fact benefit by this. Remember only 25 - 30% of what you pay reaches producers[Most of the time] who holds majority stake & time invested in creating produces.
2. Often product quality is compromised. Even discounts/ low price sales are mere mockery capitalizing on people's innocence & desire.
3. Though it varies from goods to goods, often there would be unjustified market price controlled by traders.
4. Varieties in particular product and variety of product are often not made available to masses.
5. I have observed it, what about you ?
At the end money will be saved for majority of people. Which they might end up in getting unwanted things, or invest towards productivity. They might even spend towards living life, and reaching dreams that were beyond their imaginations.
We should give Wal - Mart[FDI] a chance in a hope, masses will raise as a whole.
Sorry for this big status. Happy Sunday. Do help me improve this analysis.

Being Rich & Sensitive
Growing Rich & Being Insensitive towards surrounding can cause havoc
Recollecting the below events
1. Once India was extremely rich, this invited invaders who looted & exploited people of this land for centuries.
2. Rome was once a flourishing civilization, but constant civil wars due extremely different life style has brought it to ruins.
3. "Jewish" money lender as described William Shakespeare in "The Merchant of Venice", has led to non acceptance/exploitations/mass murder [Hitler's Nazi army murder of Jews] of this particular community.
4. More than 60 lakh life was sacrificed in American Civil wars, which was result of ill treatment/ Slaving black people by rich land lords.
5. All Czars of Russia including children were executed by people of the country, due to their lavish life style when the country was in extreme poverty.
6. French Revolution/ Guillotining of royals was once again as the result of deep economic fragmentation.
7. Innumerable such events in Africa/ Asia & Latin America.
Or a very simple law that will be applicable universally, "Any Resourceful Country/individual will attract attention of people & could be exploited by mightier people/country."
It might be for a very short time, rich & resourceful people might control power[over majority] indirectly through government, religion, caste. But by some general awareness/understanding in such scenario, even slightest agitations can any time turn into revolutions.
This article is not pointing towards any economic class. But just recollecting the lessons we learnt by losing lives & disturbing country's economy.

Vishwaroopam Review
Vishwaroopam [Uncut]
This Movie is an expression of Love for Cinema & Humanity. Most muslim friendly movie in recent times.Another movie on this line is The Kite Runner[2007], Seeing which might increase your curio/knowledge over the subject.
A well detailed movie on terrorism & Jihadis [which may not go good with people who got illogical masala taste]. It Includes for and against argument on the subject.
Don't expect an edge of the seat spy thriller. Sharpen your senses, Or you might have to watch it twice/thrice to fully understand.
//Intelligent Display :To be watched carefully.
In a Swing Scene, where Kamal tries to engage a small boy.
A boy of 8 years, whose desire is to become a doctor. Will point out, "He is no more a kid" and walk off.
A teenage adult around 17/18 yrs, who chose to be a Jihadi. Will insist childishly to engage him and the manner in which he cherishes it. //
