IS INDIA READY FOR ELECTRIC VEHICLE?

-


A couple of days ago there was an article which stated that India has been put under the HESITATOR category in accepting Electric Vehicles. Electric vehicle has less than 1% of market share as of now. Is it only about the Consumer Buying Behavior-Resistance to change or is there something beyond that? The entire automobile industry is going through the worst slump in two decades, Is Electric Vehicle the need of the hour? And the question goes on and on……
One of the biggest concerns in this country is the ’Rising prices of petrol and diesel.’ A middle class family’s dream of getting a car or using an owned one is always hindered by this. EV seems to add more fuel to the fire considering its maintenance charges.
Poor Air Quality Index across the nation has grabbed adequate attention but when measures are taken to prevent and overcome such problems, it results into something like what happened with the notorious ODD-EVEN scheme in the Capital.
‘MAKE IN INDIA’ has created enough hype but these Lithium Ion batteries will be imported from foreign players. If they are manufactured indigenously and sold at a price level taking into consideration the purchasing power of the masses, we can give it a second thought.
Where countries like Britain and France is planning to put a curb on sale of Petrol and Diesel based vehicles by 2040, India is willing to do the same by 2030. Taking a look at the manufacturers, globally there are multiple players like Ford, BMW, Volkswagen and many more whereas in India its only Mahindra and Mahindra.
Let’s make the concept of BS-VI vehicles a successful one and then move towards Electric vehicles It’s high time that we move from only making blueprints to implementing them in a sound manner so that it creates an impact beyond the hype

THINGS TO LEARN FROM A 'HOMEMAKER'

         A Homemaker without an MBA degree is 1000 times better than what we are with multiple degrees. They effectively performed POSDCORB [Planing, Organizing, Staffing, Directing, Coordinating, Reporting, Budgeting] even before Luther Gulick formulated it.     Who can teach you planing better than the one who plans the entire monthly budget and irrespective of the degree of financial emergency the family faces, she is ready with the money you need at that point. In this world where our plans are like chinese products [short term], every plan of her is bound to be long term.       Every item in the house is always well organized, right from the spoons you use to shoes you wear. Everyone of us knows 'Even if we search for something for hours we wont find it but if we ask our mom she is going to bring it in 0.00001 second.        Nobody in this world will lead you in the right direction the way s...

EARN WITH MERI SHOP-MEESHO

Reading about Meesho’s journey reminded me of Arthur Ashe ’s lines- Start where you are. Use what you have. Do what you can. A Business model that sounded like a marketing gimmick during its infancy is today the first Indian company to be backed up by the social media pioneer Facebook. A couple of months ago Facebook made an equity investment of 25 million dollars in Meesho. Founded in December 2015, what acted as a catalyst to make Meesho reach these heights in this short period remains a burning question. In a country where Ecommerce is still facing resistance, a person seems to be living under the rock if he believes that Ecommerce is booming and is profitable. If one checks the quarterly reports, it is clearly visible that crores and crores are wasted or lost due to problems like taxation policy, online payment safety, misuse of free return and cash on delivery facility, etc. After all these efforts the result is- Netizens do not trust these online platforms ...
