It's that time of the year when we are all hunting for the best Diwali Gift Options or buying Diwali Gift Packs, the most popular one seems to be the Haldiram Diwali Gift Box. Keeping in touch with the modern times of course are; Apple Diwali offer 2022, Diwali Sale, Flipkart, and more. The idea and most certainly the intention to give the best gift for Diwali or the most unique gift idea for Diwali is fantastic. However, just may be you and I are missing the point here. If you look at the bigger context and idea behind Diwali, you would probably think of something very different in terms of Diwali Gift options. Ravan blinded by his ego and rage was ignorant to forcibly take away Maa Sita, and then began the greatest battle known to us. Lord Ram went out looking for his beloved wife. He meets Hanuman and accepts his friendship and love. Lord Ram may have been helpful to Ravan as well, but to no avail. His fate was sealed. Hanuman however found his life and soul lit up with...

  I just read this news headline on Google news feed, Indian workers rescued from job scams in Southeast Asia - India's government says it has rescued about 130 Indian workers from Myanmar, Cambodia and Laos after they were lured by agents for fake job opportunities in the information technology sector in Thailand - Read more .   This may seem like a news report of something that happened far away from India. But what about the scams that go on in the name of buying courses with the promise of that elusive job guarantee?    Let us begin by understanding a bit of the background story here. What’s really at play is very different from what it seems like. Indians always follow the fad, or fashion, or craze. Today it is IT, it was chemical engineering, chartered accountancy and a MBA at some point in time. The secret sauce to success, migration to the U.S and Canada, people actually being foolhardy enough to brave death for a life in a foreign land. With over a Billion a...

  What is Data Science? How Can I build a successful career in the IT domain? How can working as a Data Scientist give me massive professional success?   These are some of the questions every aspiring student, graduate or professional has. Rightly so, because the thing with any new and in fashion career option in India is there is a lot of hype and blind aping. This also comes with its set of so called experts and gurus and a host of educational institutions offering programs. There are all kinds of offerings, certificate courses, long term degrees, masters, specialisation and more. One is bound to get confused, it's a whole new galaxy and lexicons like Data, Data science, Big Data, Data analysis, business analysis are quite fascinating. Different schools like Relevel, Scaler, Codecademy, Great Learning, Newton school, Masai School, Almabetter, Guvi, Ineuron and more. The list is long and tiring.  As per Wikipedia The term "data science" has been traced back to 1974, when...

As per Wikipedia, A full-stack developer is expected to be able to work in all the layers of the stack. A full-stack web developer can be defined by some as a developer or engineer who works with both the front and back ends of a website or application. This means they can lead platform builds that involve databases, user-facing websites, and working with clients during the planning phase of projects. Front end : Front-end web development is the development of the graphical user interface of a website, through the use of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, so that users can view and interact with that website.  Back end : What is back-end development?

  Bold leadership: “ This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy. ” ― George Bernard Shaw You and I are consumed by our petty interests and agendas that stop us or stunt your growth.  A life defined by taking on a game bigger than ourselves is worth living.  Instead of creating a game of personal achievement and glory, take on something that is bigger than yourself, take on a game that is bigger than yourself.  This bigger game will not only deliver on the personal commitments you have for yourself but also allow you to leave an indelible mark on the world. It is both fulfilling and financially rewarding beyond measure.  Some of the best examples are:  Bill Gates - a PC...

Which company has the best sales training in India? The question is how does one define or quantify 'the best?' Could it be the brand recognition of an organisation, like a Dale Carnegie institute? Could it be the robustness of the course delivered? Could it be the outcome promised by the service provider? Frankly, if you are a fresh college graduate, there's only one thing that really matters and should matter.  The word is employability. A job the school and college have miserably failed at. We will not focus on the lack of training and pragmatic approach rather look at how a difference can be made by the industry. Also we will examine what should you consider before you decide to enrol for a course?  To begin your career as a sales professional and excel, there are two set of skills you need to be working on. The first one being behavioural and then there's the technical skill of effective sales. I have written about the first part at length in my blog article publi...

  What makes an extraordinary salesperson: So, when they asked me at WhiteHat Junior, my last employer, what makes me an extraordinary salesperson I said a lot of things. I was awarded the title 'Guru Cool' for consistent performance over a long period. Looking back I see three qualities that make a critical difference in the long run.  Communication & discipline: It pays to start early, you have the bandwidth to make mistakes and learn valuable lessons. At 16, I started by selling Cadburys Chocolates during the Diwali festivities. The guy on the other side of the desk was at least twice my age. At 40, I can tell you the desire to teach a young man is irresistible.  Mr. Ramesh Panicker at Reliance Capital taught me the value of being impeccable in terms of dressing neat & always reaching 30 minutes prior for a meeting. What started out as an effort is now second nature. One has to make an effort to show up late.  You do this for 20 years, they call it reputat...
