Companies do not support R & D activities

 

Earning in India is difficult. No doubt as per GOI, if any one earns more than 25 thousand per months is considered rich in India which is 10% of total population. Now, see this is 2023 and we are to hear this. I did not want to believe it. I started to see people around me. Then, I found this is true. In India, it is difficult to do business. Last year, we were doing a consultancy project. The project was completed on time and the company wanted to give a new project. Last time when we quoted the expenses for the project, we were doing it at a loss for having an experience (That was our Jio offer). This time we needed to cover our expenses and needed to earn something as we were investing our time for studies and weekends for field visits.  They just ditched us and stopped approaching us. Looking at the company of such a size doing business for considerable time, we were surprised to see their unwillingness pay the bare minimum for traveling and other overheads. We too stopped communicating. This instance has taught me two lessons.

(1) It is difficult to earn and do business in India.

(2) Companies do not support R & D activities.

As companies do not do R & D activities, they run it with conventional wisdom and lacks competitive advantage. That is why when profit margin goes down, they run away by selling their stake to someone. Above all, I was so surprised that the highly trained MBA people running the show in the company were unable to spot it.

Hunger is needed!!!!

This is the entrance exam season in India. You have NEET, JEE, CAT, MAT etc. Students in large number appear in the exams. When I see the results in newspapers, it is evident that students from middle class and poor families are doing great in large numbers. On the other hand, students from well off families doing very poorly. Some of the parents are in very high posts and their children are not able to perform at all. This is not like that there is no guidance from parents, it is the hunger that is lacking in them. The affluence and privileges make people soft. Hunger to be the best is much needed in every field. Once you become complacent with your current situation, you cannot grow more. If you do not grow, you will be trampled by this ruthless world.

Getting The Best Out Of A Teacher In Engineering College

 

(Source:pexels.com)

India is a poor country or I can say developing country. Our organizations are running at with very low funding. This is not like that the government wants it like this way. We have so many things going on at a same time we cannot focus. It is hard. Then there is geopolitics. One country never allows another to go on the top. It is like human nature. Still, we have to continue. Now, students have to understand that the teachers are overworked; so many administrative, research and academic pressure one cannot imagine. Then, one must know that it is one of the lowest paying jobs since the time immemorial. When have you heard a rich teacher? There was never one and will never one in future you. People choose it for the love of the profession.  It will be like this in coming years also. In our days, though we studied in engineering college, we thought them as teachers and not as engineers. How foolish to think that.  It takes time to build this understanding. Moreover, years of administrative, academic pressure and family pressure, one becomes overwhelmed and keeps on doing as the things come by. There is hardly any energy for any innovative thinking. This is not as gloomy as it seems. There is always some spark left and hunger to do good. Everyone has it. There is something good in every one which is pure and serene. If you can approach a teacher in engineering college, he will try to help. Sometimes, you have to jolt the old tree to get the ripe fruits from it.
