PEEK INTO A PANACEA FOR HOSPITALS
Like any other business, hospitals are also a conglomeration of processes with all the ailments that the processes have. The health report card of any clinic will have to focus on the various symptoms that the hospital exhibits and then take a call on what is the disease profile and then prescribe the various age old panacea from the other industries like optimal queuing models, inventory policies like Just In Time (JIT), Six Sigma, Total Productive Maintenance (TPM), demand forecasting models etc.

“Thus, by the time symptoms of hypertension occur, the damage would have been irreversible. Often, the first incident which brings the high blood pressure to notice may be a heartattack, a full blown heart-failure, a paralytic stroke or a fatality itself. It is for this reason that hypertension is called a silent killer.”

It’s been 34 years since I started my company. I was born and brought up in Ernakulam but was never interested in settling down amidst the hustle and bustle of the city. Thus, I bought lands in several regions in Idukki and started my business here. This place and people taught me a lot.

INDIA INC - WHAT's NEXT?
In my view, the Centre should be on the path of reforms unmindful of the political ramifications, as India’s growing young population needs employment. The current measures of the Government in allowing farmers to sell produce more freely in the agricultural sector; starting the process of privatising power distribution companies in states and union territories; and providing more robust and portable benefits to migrant workers, is indeed in the right direction.

STAGFLATION, A RISK INDIA MUST GUARD AGAINST
Historically, stagflation first arose in the mid-1970s, when the US economy faced a prolonged slump accompanied by high unemployment and rising inflation. The trigger was the announcement of an oil embargo by the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) in October 1973. By the end of the embargo in March 1974, the price of oil had risen nearly 300 percent from US$3 per barrel to nearly $12 globally.

DECONSTRUCTING SELLING AS AN ART
I think the entire attitude we have towards sales needs to change. The world is quickly changing and so are the boundaries of influence of corporations.

Education has reached a sort of pinnacle in quantity, in India. The growth of the number of business schools and engineering colleges has been disproportionately high in the last two decades.

The new reality is that the institutions are now making it easy for students to seek admission – that is to euphemistically say that they are falling over each other to get students.

The said principle has also been endorsed by Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development in the context of international VAT/ GST Guidelines.
