New Paradigm of Competitiveness

yazdi

Speech by the ITC Chairman, Shri Y.C. Deveshwar, at the 98th Annual General Meeting on July 24, 2009

Some excerpts :

A UNDP Report prepared a few years ago, pointed out that 10% of the richest adults in the world own as much as 85% of the world’s household wealth, while the bottom 50% have to contend with only 1% of household wealth.

It now takes the Earth one year and four months to regenerate resources used in a single year. And if this continues apace, the equivalent of two Earths will be needed to support humanity’s resource requirements by mid 2030s.  The current global economic model is therefore clearly unsustainable.

…..a competitive low carbon strategy of growth will also have to generate incremental employment and livelihoods. Therefore, for Indian business, this new paradigm of competitiveness will not only require the creation of “green businesses”, but also the generation of “green livelihoods”.

Innovation, Incentivisation and Inclusiveness hold the key to crafting this new dimension of competitiveness.

Gandhian Engineering for the World

yazdi

Dr. Mashelkar, in a wonderful, insightful interview talks about his views on Gandhian Engineering and how it can change the world, as we know it now :

Excerpts :

“…..how traditional mindsets become big barriers for innovation.
“Too risky”. “Suppose it fails?” “Impossible. Never done before” “Somebody has already tried it.”
“Let me play devil’s advocate”.

“All of us have seen the whole family of 4 or 5 riding a two wheeler. We did not see anything beyond that. When Ratan Tata saw it, he saw something no one else saw. He said “This is not on. I want to change this.” That is how the 2000$ car was born.”

“The challenge for Indian innovators is to look at the stars with their feet firmly on the ground.”

“If you have focus you can achieve anything.”

Promoting Your Brand Without Advertising It

yazdi

The key is to try to infiltrate rather than seek to invade people’s minds. This means going beyond the conventional – the so-called ‘unconventional’ brand communication methods. Events, promotions, and in-store activities are all great channels of communication, but are also getting overcrowded. The challenge is to reach out to people in a highly cost-effective way beyond these channels….. Click here for more

The Real Hero

yazdi

Mr X of Titan Industries shares his inspirational encounter with a rickshaw driver in Mumbai:

Last Sunday, my wife, kid, and I had to travel to Andheri from Bandra.When I waved at a passing auto rickshaw, little did I expect that this ride would be any different...

As we set off, my eyes fell on a few magazines (kept in an aircraft style pouch) behind the driver's back rest..

I looked in front and there was a small TV. The driver had put on the Doordarshan channel.

yazdi

First came corn and cane as biomass for renewable fuel, then cellulosic materials and algae. Now Joule Biotechnologies Inc. has emerged from stealth mode with a recipe for making transportation fuel without biomass by simply harnessing solar power and carbon-dioxide emissions.

The Cambridge, Mass.-based start-up, which is backed by its founders and venture-capital firm Flagship Ventures, has developed a technology using microorganisms that make fuels and chemicals from the photosynthetic conversion of sunlight and CO2. Joule’s scientists incorporated solar converters into the technology to optimize the process that makes what the company calls “solar fuel.”
