Karkala is a semi-urban township, which is the headquarters of Karkala Taluk in the Udupi district of Karnataka.
The name of the town is derived from Kari-kal, meaning black stone in Tulu. Karkala is on the top of a granite bed that is about 300–500 ft thick. This is the reason why many stone industries have flourished in this region.
The economy of Karkala is driven mainly by the cashew, stone and beedi industries.
The temple economy is also a big contributor as it is one of the major junction for the religious tourists
The festivals and rituals of the temple contribute to the peak and low periods of local businesses.
Tourism is also another factor.
Enterprise Excellence is Inclusive Excellence.pdfKaiNexus
Enterprise excellence and inclusive excellence are closely linked, and real-world challenges have shown that both are essential to the success of any organization. To achieve enterprise excellence, organizations must focus on improving their operations and processes while creating an inclusive environment that engages everyone. In this interactive session, the facilitator will highlight commonly established business practices and how they limit our ability to engage everyone every day. More importantly, though, participants will likely gain increased awareness of what we can do differently to maximize enterprise excellence through deliberate inclusion.
What is Enterprise Excellence?
Enterprise Excellence is a holistic approach that's aimed at achieving world-class performance across all aspects of the organization.
What might I learn?
A way to engage all in creating Inclusive Excellence. Lessons from the US military and their parallels to the story of Harry Potter. How belt systems and CI teams can destroy inclusive practices. How leadership language invites people to the party. There are three things leaders can do to engage everyone every day: maximizing psychological safety to create environments where folks learn, contribute, and challenge the status quo.
Who might benefit? Anyone and everyone leading folks from the shop floor to top floor.

Company Valuation webinar series - Tuesday, 4 June 2024FelixPerez547899
This session provided an update as to the latest valuation data in the UK and then delved into a discussion on the upcoming election and the impacts on valuation. We finished, as always with a Q&A
In the Adani-Hindenburg case, what is SEBI investigating.pptxAdani case
Adani SEBI investigation revealed that the latter had sought information from five foreign jurisdictions concerning the holdings of the firm’s foreign portfolio investors (FPIs) in relation to the alleged violations of the MPS Regulations. Nevertheless, the economic interest of the twelve FPIs based in tax haven jurisdictions still needs to be determined. The Adani Group firms classed these FPIs as public shareholders. According to Hindenburg, FPIs were used to get around regulatory standards.

hearted banter and
catch up with their
accounts

Copenhagen, Sep2006
What’s Unique

• Co-ordination is seamless
• The person who delivers does not know the
origin address and vice-versa
• Nowhere on the dabba is the owner’s name or
address put, but there are no delivery errors
• Errors do not occur due to mistakes by the
dabbawallas, but due to pilferage in trains or
sorting areas
• No ‘Parking’ issues although such a huge load is
processed

Copenhagen, Sep2006
Binding Agents

Are the dabbawallas going to be extinct?
“How can it be ?
Sure, some clients
may move away, but
children will continue
to go to school and
people to offices.
As long as people feel
the desire for home
cooked food,
the dabbawallas would
always deliver”
• R Medge, President
