Diversification is wanted.

 (Source: pexels.com)

The state of Srilanka is very pathetic. It has an enormous debt to repay. Currently, the country is under financial emergency. While reading a piece of news on Sri Lanka’s economic crisis, one word struck my mind. The word is ‘diversification.’ Srilanka produced and exported a few commodities, which gave them foreign currency. Then, they borrowed heavily from China. Then the commodities prices went down, which they used to export, and there were no dollars in coffers to buy oil or anything. In school and college days, we read about diversification in books. Tata group is the best example of diversification. They have a lot of businesses, and all the companies do not do well all the time.

But, the high-performing ones keep the business house floating all the time. Good ones bail out the bad ones in simple. Now, in a student’s context, one can say that one has to diversify his skills so that one doesn’t get limited to one particular field. As a mechanical engineer, one cannot keep himself insulated from new concepts such as computer-aided designing, blockchain, automation, machine learning, artificial intelligence, virtual reality, IoT, etc. These are not mere buzz words but maybe highly crucial for future growth as the world moves in this direction. We should learn a way to incorporate them. Moreover, a well-diversified student has a better chance of employment. Besides these verticals, one has to improve his social and communication skills and hone leadership qualities for better placement. I have seen that employers prefer candidates having these qualities.

What did Sunfox teach me?

 

(Source: pexels.com)

Sunfox is a startup that makes medical diagnostic devices. Currently, they manufacture a portable ECG machine. The device is super cheap and gives you an idea about your heart health. Those who have co-morbidities relating to the heart can check it out. The device is being sold on their website and on Amazon. They went to Shark Tank to raise money, which was broadcasted on Sony TV. Their pitch for funding is still lying on the YouTube channel. The clip got a lot of attention, and recently, a piece of news came out. Their sales have increased by 40%. That is great. They got a massive exposure and then cracked it.

 Now, why am I saying so much about this startup? I found the pitch of the owners very fascinating. When you watch the pitch, the judges ask thoughtful questions. The questions seemed like the HR interview questions. The owners remained calm and extraordinarily answered them. One judge asked him that the machine might eat up the doctors' commission and won't advise it to use. Then, one of the owners answered it very nicely. He said that the machine would indicate to the user his heart health and advise him to see a doctor if there was any problem. In a way, it will increase the business of the doctors by increasing the footfall. The doctors should not shy away from advising people to use it. Moreover, the portable machine can give an indicative report only. For better information, one has to visit a professional with a precision machine. Anyway, I have learned a lot about entrepreneurship by watching the Shark Tank and reading Peter Thiel's Zero to One book. If someone is interested in startups, then they should read it. Besides, it was an eye-opener in every sense.

 

The owner's reply has owned my heart because one has to be real positive while answering any HR questions during an interview. The students can also learn the technique. In the YouTube series Aspirants also, the protagonist discovers the importance of responding positively. In one scene, his mentor tells him to answer in that manner.
