Beating auto slowdown: Rajiv Bajaj, Pawan Munjal and other CEOs give their prescriptions - The Economic Times

-->

Agree with & glad that Mr. Rajiv Bajaj is not seeking any short-term measures to artificially provide temporary ‘life’ to the automobile market. Indeed Government needs to look at a larger, sustainable model for long term development of the industry, and employment. Auto companies need to be able to innovate to handle such cyclical and unexpected developments.

Mr Bhargava is spot on.. ‘Auto companies will have to do things differently’. Just Innovate! (I agree, easy to propose, but different to do!)

Govt should realize bulk of transport operators & related manpower, are almost at bottom of the pyramid. They are yet to realize the huge potential to make a difference to this community. While manufacturers like TML, M&M will seek tax concessions, Govt should look at this segment with lot more empathy.

Just as Hero is launching new models ahead of the festive season, riding on good monsoon, Toyota should launch India-specific models and at affordable price-range.

Simple, but very valuable tips to manage our Linkedin Profile..

5 Critical LinkedIn Optimizations That Take 5 Minutes or Less | Inc.com

1. Agree on  photo. This always surprised me! Why are people reluctant to upload their photo ? On other platforms, Twitter/gmail/yahoo/FB/etc people upload none/dog/cat/family/caricature/et al !! But on a professional networking platform such as LinkedIn, it is very essential to upload a professional photograph. Of course, lucky friends in arts/advertising/etc can afford to upload a less formal photo. But if we are serious about leveraging this platform, a good photograph will surely help. ( I had my caricature on FB for a long time, a smarter avtar of myself!! I look less handsome on photograph, not being photogenic... still looking for a great photographer :) !!)
2. Professional headline just updated - utilised the entire space !?
3. Opportunity to enrich summary.... need more thought on this & shall use this better
4. Skills added - even my sports & extra-curricular activities from school & college days (Nostalgic!!) Dramatics used to on the stage then, but now part & parcel of professional, at times personal, life !! 'The world is indeed a stage....'
5. My linkedin profile is -vanity-URL-ed' already by Linkedin!! 

The recent option to 'endorse' was made simple & easy to use !! 

INNOVATION is not necessary a dramatic or drastic change or new development. But incremental improvements are more innovative. LinkedIn has kept the innovation process continuous thru incremental improvements. Useful, relevant and Frugal too...

Hats to team-Linkedin!

Interesting thoughts... Our education, our work-exp in any field and generally every activity around us only pushes us to competetiveness only. But what is needed is something truly ( cliched!) 'out of box' or 'blue-ocean'....The Creative Monopoly!
