Hi All,
Post a very busy year for me - Starting a business, getting married. In the process of trying to setup one more and also stablise existing ones. The time to write has been few and far between.
However, I think I will make it a point to write every Saturday or Sunday now. The journey of entrepreneur is both mentally and physically challenging. Especially in a country like India, where the sheer task of getting anything done means calling someone about thirty to forty times multiply that by about 20x or 30x your easily looking at 600 calls / day for routine operations execution. Of course this could be more indicative of how the construction field works.
I think we in India definitely need a culture change in terms of how we do work. Whether be it a business owner or an employee. The task of executing something as per instruction and correct the first time should not be this hard. If you don't know how to do something, the easiest thing is to ask. However, in an Indian context admitting you don't know something often is taken for a sign of incompetence. Whereas the lack of task execution to expected standard should be the measure.
I think that's it for today. More musings next time.
