New ! On Akshaya Tritiya, looking forward to India's post Covid-19 growth (14th May 2021)

Today is Akshaya Tritiya which is one of the most auspicious days of the year as per Hindu scriptures. As the nation currently tackles the ongoing Covid-19 health crisis, it could be an opportune time to seek blessings from the Almighty and also look ahead positively on what we need to do once the pandemic is over.

The need of the hour today for India is good quality jobs at scale. Startups have been adept at the same. Interestingly, in a post Covid-19 world, even political leaders globally are fast moving into startup thinking & action mode. The current mayor of the US city Miami Mr Francis Suarez is one such leader. Through his proactive work, he has been single handedly responsible for the migration of software & IT (Information Technology) jobs to Miami for the past few months.

I recently wrote an article comparing his actions to some of our Indian leader's past & current work in India and how we can target growth towards the US 5 Trillion GDP in the years ahead. A very long read - Medium Article Startup is a living verb, not a has-been adjective (14th May 2021)

Can Indian automobile dealers India survive Covid-19 ? (1st June 2020)

The automobile sector even before Covid-19 had been suffering from various global macro / India specific systemic issues. Covid-19 has only exacerbated the industry problem.

We personally experienced visiting 8 to 10 automotive car dealerships in Mumbai since the past 3 months while researching the purchase of a new car for personal use. We found that with the perhaps sole exception of the dealership of the Indian automotive car market leader, most of the other automobile dealers we met as prospective buyers severely lacked both professionalism and a grasp of working in a hyper competitive market.

Since at Kaytek, we have had experience working for over 2 decades in a hyper competitive global IT market, we could immediately visualize several gaps in the dealer operations we interacted with. Customer interactions, ability to emphatize with the customer needs, professionalism in enquiry handling, etc. were some of the problems we noticed. Most analysts have identified the automobile industry as one to face severe pain in the days ahead. Notwithstanding the same, obviously at an individual automobile dealer player level, specific strategies would depend on many factors including: Owner background & vision, Team / Next generation capabilities, Financial stability & the capability to leverage existing assets, Mix of service / sales revenues & capabilities, Internal systems and more.

The starting step would be obviously to reduce the monthly cash burn IMMEDIATELY. The immediate goal is Survival not growth.
