"Globalisation is reality. So we have to understand what it means, how it is affecting us, and how we can deal with it. We need to look at it as a whole system due to the multidimensionality of the phenomenon."

"Sun shines on India. The promise of solar energy is bright. We have the technology to equip the solar power industry, the friendly government policies in place, the need for power, and the PM's vision on renewable energy sources. This also enables the platform for a semiconductor manufacturing ecosystem at much less cost."

"The real convergence has started happening. Even five years ago, everything was so discrete; for instance, you wouldn't then have thought of taking a photo on your phone and share it with someone over the mail. Today's trend towards convergence necessitates that those who create content, at the back-end, have to take a 360-degree view of things. Content is more visual now, be it in e-learning, or e-commerce. It is, therefore, not that content is king, but visual content is."

"Inflation is seen as some as a regressive tax, because it affects the poor more than it affets the rich. In a way, inflation is an economic calamity, because it destroys the livelihood of the poor."

"A key problem in the industry is that approval process gets inordinately delayed. For instance, the delay can be 1.5 years for a multi-storeyed building, whereas a quicker process, as in Hyderabad, may take 3-4 months."

"CRM or customer relationship management has many connotations, ranging from understanding the customer, to business intelligence. What we try to address is to go beyond a study of the purchasing patterns, to looking at the customer behaviour, feeling and reactions towards a product or service. These latter aspects are rarely captured, with the result that customer service staff are not aware of the previous interactions of the customer with the company.
