“ The Attacker’s Advantage” . This book is very contextual to the current environment and our preparation and transition to new Leadership Traits and dress for the future.
Strategists often see their road as a straight one with obstacles on the horizon to be dealt with as they appear. Author Ram Charan cautions that the real obstacles are much closer. Just around every corner lurk outliers, competitors, consumers, other industries and government policies that can quickly upset the apple cart.
One example: During the financial crisis, banks and financial services companies tightened lending practices. Small businesses couldn’t get loans, and consumers couldn’t obtain mortgages. There was a domino effect on other industries.
Charan believes that companies were too focused on daily operations, lacking the “perceptual acuity” to see a bigger picture. They looked at things from the inside out and relied on what they knew.
Catalysts, on the other hand, see things others don’t. They are creative thinkers who are one step ahead of everyone else.
They can also mine gold from “dead” technology. Steve Jobs found a new use for Gorilla Glass, a decades-old product mothballed by Corning Glass. Elon Musk’s solar-charged Tesla home battery could be the answer to offsetting high electric bills a decade from now.

Indian businessmen are generally cautious about publicly expressing their political opinions due to fears of reprisal from the government. Even with social media, most business leaders avoid making controversial statements. Some exceptions include Rahul Bajaj, chairman of Bajaj Auto, who is outspoken on social issues, and Harsh Goenka, chairman of RPG Group, who tweeted criticism of the ruling party in West Bengal but later walked it back. While social media allows for more open expression of views, Indian business leaders still fear potential investigations or tax raids if they are seen as working against the government. The culture of guardedness remains entrenched at large Indian conglomerates like the Tatas, Birlas, and Ambanis.
- The number of engineering graduates in India has increased dramatically to 1.5 million per year, far exceeding the 200,000-250,000 IT jobs available. This demand-supply imbalance has led to acceptance rates for job offers from major IT companies like TCS, Infosys and Wipro to increase to 80-85% from 65-70% three years ago.
- Automation is predicted to eliminate 6.4 lakh low-skilled IT jobs in India over the next five years, worsening prospects for new graduates. While the IT industry currently employs over 3 million, only 1 million new engineering jobs are expected to be created in the coming five years.
- With fewer job opportunities and the skills
India must focus on growth, not worry about inflation, stiglitzSaxbee Consultants
Nobel laureate Joseph Stiglitz believes that Indian policymakers should focus on growing the economy rather than inflation. He insists that excessive focus on inflation will hurt growth and increase unemployment and inequality. Stiglitz also praised India's MGNREGS program as the world's most innovative employment guarantee scheme and important for reducing inequality. Additionally, he criticized India's handling of issues like JNU and restrictions on NGOs, saying it damages India's international reputation and could deter foreign investment by placing India with authoritarian regimes.
The Indian government has eased funding rules for startups to help strengthen the startup ecosystem. A recent notification makes it easier for startups to receive funds of Rs. 25 lakh or more via convertible notes by exempting such funds from being considered a deposit. This will relieve startups from stringent rules around informing regulators or maintaining deposit reserves. The relaxation is only available to startups that meet government criteria. Separately, eligible startups will be exempt from paying angel tax on differential funding received from non-registered investors. So far, 571 startups have applied for benefits under the Startup India initiative, though only 12 currently qualify for the tax exemption.
According to a survey, people from Punjab and Haryana had the highest share of overnight visitor trips outside their own states. At the national level, the main destination for most overnight visitor trips was within one's own state. The document provides contact information for Parveen Kumar Chadha, the founder and CEO of Saxbee Consultants & Other-Mother marketing and communication consultants, including their email, mobile number, and address in New Delhi, India.
While the Indian cabinet has approved a bill allowing restaurants to operate 24/7, full implementation faces many challenges due to contradictory state-level laws. Currently most states have regulations preventing restaurants from staying open between 1-5am or serving liquor between 1am-11am. Fully utilizing the new bill would require changes to existing licenses from local police, excise, health, and municipal authorities regarding operating hours. Restaurant operators acknowledge the economic benefits of 24/7 operations but note varying rules across states could limit the bill's impacts unless various laws are made uniform.
According to the latest figures, domestic tourist visits in India grew 11.63% last year while foreign tourist visits rose 4.4%. Tamil Nadu remained the top destination for both domestic and foreign tourists, as it has in previous years.

The Brexit vote caused global stock markets, currencies, and bonds to plunge as fears grew that other EU nations may also pursue exits. The British pound fell over 10% to its lowest level since 1985 against the dollar. Gold prices rose over 8% as investors sought safe havens. Stock markets in Asia and Europe declined sharply, with indexes in Germany and France falling 7-8%. In India, the Sensex slumped over 600 points but recovered some losses after the central bank governor promised measures to ensure stability. The rupee also dropped by over 1% against the dollar.
Global markets continued to be volatile in the aftermath of Brexit, with the pound crashing to a 31-year low against the dollar and the yuan dropping to its lowest since 2010. Stocks in Europe and the US fell sharply, while Asian markets were more resilient. In India, the Sensex and Nifty ended little changed as traders remained confused about Brexit implications, though midcap and smallcap stocks rose. Experts warned that continued turbulence in Europe and currencies could spread to India. The rupee also rebounded from lows as the RBI intervened in currency markets.
This document discusses the changing role of human resources and a model for HR to take on multiple roles to add more value and deliver results to organizations. It proposes that HR professionals transition from operational to more strategic roles by shifting from qualitative to quantitative, policing to partnering, short-term to long-term, and more. A multiple role model is presented for HR management with a focus on strategic priorities, day-to-day operations, people processes, and managing various areas like strategic resources, infrastructure, employee contribution and transformation. Key challenges for the future of HR are also outlined.
This document discusses pricing strategies and considerations. It covers setting pricing objectives like profit, market share, or quality leadership. It also discusses determining costs, demand, and competitors' prices. Pricing methods are described like market skimming to target high-paying customers or market penetration to attract more buyers. Types of pricing adjustments are explained such as discounts, promotions, or geographical pricing.

The document provides definitions and examples to help understand different pricing concepts and strategies.
Nikesh Arora will step down from his role as president and expected successor to Masayoshi Son at SoftBank. Son wants to remain at the helm of the company for a few more years, while Arora wanted to become CEO more quickly. Although Son had previously named Arora as his likely successor, he now wants to maintain control of SoftBank. Arora's departure leaves questions about leadership and direction at the company.
The No. 1 license plate in the UAE was sold at auction for $4.9 million to businessman Arif Ahmed Al Zarouni. Low number license plates are highly coveted collector's items in the UAE and often sell for large sums. At the same auction, plates numbered 50 and below sold for around $500,000, while plates 100 and 333 sold for approximately $400,000 each. Al Zarouni attended the auction solely to purchase the No. 1 plate, as his ambition is always to be number one, and he has no plans to resell it but rather keep it for his personal use.
India's major e-tailers like Amazon, Flipkart, and Snapdeal are disunited in their efforts to lobby the Indian government against new regulations that favor brick-and-mortar retailers. While the offline retailers actively lobby as a united group, the online retailers refuse to sign joint petitions or mount united legal challenges. This disunity stems from the competitive tensions between the companies and prevents them from effectively countering the threats posed by the united offline retailers' group. Unless the major e-tailers find a way to put aside their differences and form a united front, they will continue to struggle against the regulations in an increasingly difficult environment.
The government has approved a proposal to make candidate scores and rankings from government recruitment exams publicly available online through a dedicated portal. The portal will be created by the National Informatics Centre and will display exam results unless the candidate has opted out of disclosure. Candidates can access detailed results for exams in the past year by clicking on the exam name on recruiting agency websites linked on the portal. Details shown will include name, birthdate, category, gender, education, address and email unless the candidate opted out during the application process.
The new notification from the Central Board of Direct Taxes will exempt startups that meet government definitions from angel tax when raising investments above fair market value. A startup is defined as an Indian entity less than 5 years old with annual revenue under 25 crore involved in developing new technology or intellectual property. However, the exemption only applies to new startups and not existing companies. It provides relief to startups obtaining investments from angel investors or venture capital funds but the tax may still apply after 5 years.
The document discusses diversification strategy and its relationship to firm performance. It defines different types of diversification, like related and unrelated diversification. While diversification can help firms grow and spread risk, creating synergies between different business is difficult to achieve in practice. Empirical evidence on the relationship between diversification and performance is mixed, with some studies finding diversified firms perform worse. The document examines different motives for diversification and argues that growth alone does not create shareholder value unless synergies exist. It also outlines Porter's tests that diversification must meet to benefit shareholders.
- This document discusses corporate governance in India and regulations established by the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI). It provides background on corporate scandals that led to increased regulation. SEBI established Clause 49, which strengthened the role of independent directors and introduced new disclosure requirements for public companies. The key changes required companies to have a minimum number of independent directors, limited terms for non-executive directors, established codes of conduct, and enhanced financial disclosures and internal controls. Effective corporate governance is important for India's corporations as they increasingly compete globally and attract foreign investment.
Microsoft is breaking corporate taboos by partnering with a start-up called Kind to offer software that helps state governments track marijuana sales. The software will help states that have legalized medical or recreational marijuana to keep tabs on sales and commerce. Microsoft's entry into helping governments with regulatory compliance suggests it sees the marijuana industry as continuing to grow significantly as more states legalize and regulate the drug. The Kind software will be one of eight preferred options offered by Microsoft to government users of its Azure cloud computing platform, and the only one related to marijuana.
World trade declined 1% in the first quarter of 2016 compared to the same period in 2015, according to statistics from the WTO and Unctad. Global merchandise exports have been tracked quarterly since 2005. For more details on trade trends and consulting services, contact Parveen Kumar Chadha, founder and CEO of Saxbee Consultants.
Saxbee Consultants holds the number 1 position across major social media platforms when searched, including Google, Yahoo, Bing, Facebook, LinkedIn, SlideShare, Twitter, and India Mart. The document lists Saxbee Consultants as having the top result on each of these search and social media sites.
According to research studies, employee health risks are directly related to increased costs for companies, as healthy employees can contribute up to 12.5% more to a company. The document also lists various health and wellness magazines and journals the trainer has experience with, and states that the goal is to help individuals tap their highest potential through healthier lifestyle choices like exercise and mental challenges.
India's exports stabilized in May, declining only 0.79% from a year earlier which was the smallest decline in 18 months. While imports fell sharply by 13.16%, the trade deficit narrowed as well. Non-oil exports turned positive for the first time in a long period, suggesting the worst of the export decline may be over. Some experts expect double-digit export growth starting in October.
When an employee leaves a company to start a competing business, it often creates tension. The document discusses several examples:
1) Adi Godrej criticized his former employee Arumugham Mahendran for planning competing products after leaving Godrej Consumer Products.
2) Lee Iacocca was fired from Ford but later started Chrysler, bringing a project from Ford.
3) Steve Jobs was removed from the Mac project at Apple and later founded NeXT, which Apple acquired when he returned as CEO.
4) Celebrity chefs Marco Pierre White and Gordon Ramsay had a falling out after White gave Ramsay his start in the industry.
5) Chris Wethrell created

The Sensex closed nearly 1%, or 239 points, lower at 26,397 due to weak global and domestic cues. Since reaching a seven-month high last week, the Sensex had lost over 3%, or nearly 850 points, due to weak economic data from India and China as well as uncertainty ahead of central bank meetings in the US and UK. Market analysts said investors remained cautious due to various global events and economic uncertainties, despite prospects of a good monsoon in India.
Three key points from the document:
1) A study of 200,000 Indian corporate employees found 46% suffering high stress levels, with 43% having unhealthy BMI scores putting them at risk for diabetes, hypertension, and other issues.
2) Mental health issues like depression are prevalent but often undisclosed in Indian corporations, with over 2500 employees seeking help for suicidal thoughts in the last 10 years alone.
3) Experts cite factors like long work hours, performance pressure, unpredictable careers, and work-life imbalance as contributing to rising stress levels and associated health problems among Indian corporate employees.

Top 10 AI Trends to Watch in 2024
Trend 1: Agentic AI
Overview of Agentic AI
Agentic AI represents a fundamental shift in artificial intelligence. These AI systems are designed to comprehend complex workflows and pursue difficult objectives autonomously, with minimal human assistance. Essentially, agentic AI functions similarly to human employees, understanding intricate contexts and instructions in normal language, defining goals, deducing subtasks, and adapting actions to changing circumstances.
Impact of Agentic AI
Agentic AI has the potential to drastically alter organizational roles, procedures, and relationships. AI assistants with advanced thinking and planning capabilities can perform tasks previously managed by humans. This shift enhances productivity by fully automating complex processes, freeing workers from repetitive tasks to focus on more critical activities. The ability to adapt quickly to changing circumstances ensures continuous operational improvements.
Examples and Use Cases of Agentic AI
Autonomous Vehicles: Self-driving cars use agentic AI to navigate roads, interpret traffic signals, and make real-time decisions to ensure passenger safety.
Smart Home Devices: AI-powered home assistants, like smart thermostats and security systems, operate autonomously to optimize energy usage and enhance security.
Customer Service Bots: Advanced chatbots handle complex customer queries, provide solutions, and escalate issues to human agents when necessary.
Trend 2: Open Source AI
Overview of Open Source AI
Open-source AI involves freely available source code, encouraging developers to collaborate, use, adapt, and share AI technology. This openness fosters innovation and speeds up the development of practical AI solutions across various sectors, including healthcare, finance, and education.
Impact of Open Source AI
The collaborative nature of open-source AI promotes transparency and facilitates continuous improvement, leading to feature-rich, reliable, and modular solutions. These platforms enable the creation of applications such as real-time fraud detection, medical image analysis, personalized recommendations, and customized learning experiences.
Examples and Use Cases of Open Source AI
TensorFlow: An open-source machine learning framework by Google, widely used for building and deploying AI models.

Effective Google Ads Strategy to get the best output
You can either ride the wave, or get trampled
1. YOU CAN EITHER RIDE THE
WAVE, OR GET TRAMPLED
Old companies are dealing with destruction and not disruption By
Vinod Mahanta
2. Contd..
Ask Ram Charan, what's bothering global CEOs these days and the
renowned consultant says, “earlier it used to be execution now it's just
one thing -disruption. “As the troika of rising structural uncertainty,
increasing complexity and new business models create havoc with
industries, CEOs face the challenge of not just keeping the engines
running but also looking out for the unfolding market disruptions.
Charan, who has just published a new book called The Attacker's
Advantage, talks to CD about the impact disruptive forces will have on
businesses and how to be future-ready.
3. Why are industries disrupting at such a fast
pace?
It is no longer just disruption; it is destruction and creation. When
Clayton Christensen talked about disruptive innovation, he saw people
come and get the lower end of the market and then disrupt the
industry. Now, all industries are being actually destroyed not disrupted.
So Schumpeter's destruction and creation is now in full swing. In 1800s,
the internal combustion engine created more jobs before the old jobs
got destroyed. Today, this destruction is not creating enough jobs to
compensate for the lost jobs. And no industry is going to escape.
4. What is this structural uncertainty you talk
about?
There is a difference between operational uncertainty and structural
uncertainty.Operational is about how many rooms can you fill in a hotel in a month
-it will not be 100%. So we now have mathematical models that do the
optimisation, decide what should be the pricing of the hotel room by the day, by
the week. We know the demand will fluctuate but you make the best pricing
decisions. They give 50% discounts on the weekends and that is the operational
uncertainty. You know how to manage that.
The structural uncertainty is that the total demand for a certain kind of hotel is
eliminated.For example, the demand for Polaroid was eliminated, and Kodak got
eliminated. That's structural uncertainty. Increase in the production of Shale gas
and decline in usage of raw material by China in building has caused a bend in the
road -it is a structural uncertainty, it is going to be here for years. It is structural
because the forces now at work can alter the existing structure of your market
space or your industry, changing the complete landscape or even making it
obsolete. These forces are long-term and ir resistible. You can either ride the wave,
or get trampled.
5. Indian CEOs face uncertainty, whether its demand
related or due to regulations or global factors.
What do you need to lead in such times?
First thing the CEO's got to do is set a practice every week and ask his people
and outside people what external change they visualise over the next two
years. Just see the world through their eyes. By doing it every week, you are
expanding your visualisation through the people who can see external
catalysts driv ing the change. The idea here is the perceptual equity. You
build perceptual equity as an in stitution so long as you live and the company
lives and out of that you get the patterns coming in. Second thing, you look
for catalysts. Catalysts are hu man beings, not companies. Steve Jobs was a
catalyst. Larry Page is a catalyst.
I have a feeling that Anand Mahindra in India is a catalyst in the auto
industry. In early days, Sunil Mittal was a catalyst. In Indian telecom, Mukesh
Ambani could well be the catalyst, or he is perceived that way, whether he
succeeds or not is to be seen.
6. Contd.
You search for those human beings and see how driven they are, how practical they
are, how risk-taking they are, and you do it every six weeks or eight weeks. Take off
half a day, get your trusted people, insiders and outsiders and visualise if this
catalyst's play turns out to be true, how would that change the game. Will it
destroy the industry?
Will it destroy the company? Will it lead to consolidation? Will it create a new game
or a new model? Acknowledge that the new game is very different. In such
situations, it's not advisable to mix the old game with the new game. Then you can
go on the attack, master these new trends. Start creating a path that you force
others to defend you. Amazon forced Walmart to defend. Starbucks is on the
attack; it will force Dunkin Donuts, it will force McDonald's. You argue that seizing
the attacker's advantage is not the same as seeking new ways to use your core
competencies.A large part of core competencies will become irrelevant. What was
the core competency of Borders and Barnes and Noble; it's irrelevant. The two
guys, Flipkart and Snapdeal they have to develop their own logistics, the old
logistics model just won't work.
7. What are the new business models which are
coming up?
If I just keep the government influence part aside, the new game is to
use algorithms to figure out a sustainable business model and scale up
very fast and reduce prices. You cannot create barriers to entry. This
game is not for the wimps. But if you don't do it, the penalty is death or
near death for old companies. If the industry is disrupting, you can
survive. But in destruction, you don't survive. And it's industry not just
the company, and even the related industries, like the music industry.
8. How does the playbook run when a traditional
company makes a choice of being an attacker?
The first thing is that they have to see and acknowledge the reality.
They should ask the question: does no change take you to near death?
If this is what you see, you move. You accept old core competence
could be irrelevant, at least some portions. And look at from outside-in
and not inside-out.Start creating a new path. That's large scale
entrepreneurship.
9. When an established company makes a choice like
this, how do you take the old organisation along?
You don't. You create a new organisation with a new leader and you
gradually pull people you need. The new leader will create a new
business model that's different, where the competence required is very
different.What is required of an attacker's mindset?
Confront reality, have courage, and visualize. Number two: select
people for the new game. Most likely outsiders. Number three: pilot
the idea that you can scale up. Build new core competence, new KPIs,
new business models. Learn how to scale fast. Change the board.
