Things Vijay Mallya Did That You Should Not Be Doing in Your Business

‘The King of Good Times’ Vijay
Mallya seems to be going through
an ironic period in his life. Now
that his ‘good times’ appear to be
far-fetched, I’m sure he’ll welcome
‘mediocre, debt-free times’ with
open arms.
Once termed the Indian version of
Richard Branson is now a ‘willful
defaulter’. Vijay is being chased
by almost every institution in the
country — the banks, regulators
and, even the judiciary. What did
he do? Well, not much! As
everyone knows how big of a
collector he is, he just gathered  a
consortium of 17 loans for himself
from, mind you, state run banks,
and they all add up to a whopping
amount of Rs 9,000 crore. No
biggie, right? And when everyone
thought this would end, Mallya
thought to himself, “Hmm...
Wouldn’t this be a lovely time to
go for a spontaneous vacation to
my country house in London?
Except a couple of loans, I have
given people no reason to think
I’m an absconder. Might as well
pack 7 bags in case I don’t forget
anything.” Okay, jokes aside.

It’s not that Vijay Mallya was
always this bad at making
business decisions (or any
decisions for that matter). It was
his skills and money, which he
very conveniently inherited from
his father that made him the
flamboyant billionaire he is. His
good days include the launch of
Kingfisher Strong in 1999 that
changed the consumption of
alcohol nationally. He then
expanded his range by buying
brands like Royal Challengers,
Bagpiper whisky and Romanov
vodka. He launched Kingfisher
Airlines and bought IPL and F1
teams.
When everyone was busy getting
impressed by his unstoppable
shopping spree, no one
questioned where he was getting
the money for all this? We kind of
went along with him ‘being’ rich.
So how did his story take a 180
degree turn? He made some pretty terrible decisions along the way.
And we made a list so history
wouldn't repeat itself.
When your business
doesn’t make a profit for
8 years, take the hint
This goes completely above me.
Once the second-largest airline in
India, Kingfisher Airlines was
never once able to earn a profit
and it still went on for 8 years. In
2009, the net loss went from Rs
213 crore in 2008 to Rs 1,317
crore. And that didn’t stop Mallya
from continuing. His delusional
optimism of reviving the company
went to such extent that the
accumulated losses as of March
2013 stood at a whopping Rs
16,023 crore. He did cut flights
from 300 to 110-125, but it never
reached the skies Vijay was so
hopeful about.
Lesson- Know when to give up.
Hard work is appreciated but
when it doesn’t yield results, you
should know when to stop.
When bankrupt and you see some money coming your way, how about paying the employees
first Employees maketh the company.
Sure, employer will tell what work
to do but it’s the hard working
members of staff accumulated over the years that will make the work happen. At the end when
company gets a big profit, it’s the
owner that gets it. An employee
gets his regular salary.
Given that and how indebted
Mallya was by 2012, it was his
inability to pay salaries to 1500
employees that stopped the
beleaguered airline to continue
operating. When asked why he
couldn’t he simply answered, “I
don’t have money to pay your
salaries”. Okay, believable. But
then Diageo acquired 27% stake
in United Spirits Ltd. for Rs 6,500
crore in 2013, but no lender or
employee was given a single
penny, without any reasons
stated. Mallya had his own wish
list to fill. He spent Rs 9.5 crore
to get Australian all-rounder
Shane Watson to play for his Royal
Challengers Bangalore Indian
Premier League cricket team this
season. In December 2015, his
birthday became a gala with 200
people and featuring a firework
display and performances by Sonu
Nigam and Spanish pop star
Enrique Iglesias worth 3.5 crore.
The whole party cost him more
than $2 billion. Money well spent,
eh?
Lesson – If you’re in debt, a
monstrous one, and your
birthday is approaching and you
have no plans to give salaries to
your employees, it’s probably
better to take it down a notch.
Do not mess with the
banks If Mallya finds it hard to think in a reasonable business-like
manner, he should probably think
about the welfare of people as a
member of parliament. But how
dare we think about him thinking
about the welfare of people who
pay taxes to state run banks when
he can’t even pay his own
employees. Mallya owes Rs 9061
crore to 17 banks which include
State Bank of India, Punjab
National Bank, UCO, Central Bank,
Axis Bank, Bank of India, Bank of
Baroda, IDBI, United Bank
Corporation Bank, State Bank of
Mysore, Indian Overseas Bank,
Federal Bank and Punjab & Sind
Bank. Mallya claims to have paid
Rs 1,200 crore worth of loan
already.
Hoping that the airline would
revive sooner or later and pay
back the money, banks kept giving
loans and Mallya accepted them.
Finally, when things got out of
hand and banks panicked,
Kingfisher, was declared an NPA by most banks, including SBI, towards the end of 2011 and beginning of 2012.
The only hope for banks is if
Mallya has a change of mind and
decides to pay back banks from
his personal wealth (Mallya has
shares worth Rs 7000 crore in
various companies and lot more in
fixed assets). Chances of that
happening seems as minimal as
Trump leaving the 2016 Presidential debate.

Lesson – A stitch in time saves
nine. The banks, instead of
encouraging Mallya to take loans
even when he was in debt,
should have spent time on
making him understand how bad
debts can be.
Have the courage to face your mistakes Everybody makes mistake. Mallya’s happen to be worth Rs 9,000 crore. In any case, how is leaving the country with no prior notice the best idea he could come up with? We get that he messed up big time, but how about giving an explanation first. We don’t mind him taking all his extravagant vacations but expecting people to
believe that he wants to go to his
country home because he wants to
'see his children' is either him
considering people are stupid or a
bad excuse made in haste.

Lesson – Be smarter about your
mistakes. They’re going to be out
in the open at some point. The
better path will be to accept
them and save the drowning
boat. Right your wrongs always.

How To Turn "ON" A Sexy & Talented Girl?

In today's prospective being sexy apparently means to be smart & talented as well.
Let's take a look what makes a sexy & talented girl "ON".

Most of the girls grow up dreaming of being famous senators, authors, directors, and
scientists and of marrying
geniuses who are kind and
loving and completely
supportive of their wives'
careers. (It doesn't hurt if
they're rich and handsome too.)

But when asked specifically to porn start turned bollywood actress sunny leone,about what makes smart & talented girls on she replied" There is nothing
sexier than a smart
businessmn. I love a man who is
smart and determined & you can't  find all these other than a smart
businessman.
Here 5 things girls loves about an entrepreneur.

1)Self confidence – a belief in their own abilities and ideas.
Being innovative/inventive – being
able to generate ideas, either for
new products/services or new ways of applying them.

2)Self motivation and determination – the drive to keep going and see things through.
Showing initiative – it is necessary
to have not only the ideas for the
business, but also the detailed
plans to achieve objectives (both
thinking and doing.

3)Analytical abilities – capable of
researching and evaluating each
aspect of the business, from
development, through finance,
production, to marketing and sales.

4)The ability to make decisions and to take (considered) risks.
A focus on results that ensures
products are sold for a profit.
The combination of many of these
skills and qualities, with the right
support, ensures ideas do not just
remain as dreams but become real, viable businesses.

5)The ability to learn from others-
entrepreneurs tend to be good at
networking. They benefit from being members of organisation like the IET where they can learn best practice ideas from others.

How To Be Crorepati In 6 Months?

Nothing is impossible but can
this be done, lets see.
Goal: 1 crore in 6 months
~Rs 16 Lakh in a month (~
means approximately)
~Rs 53 Thousand in a day
~Rs 2220 in an hour
You cannot make that much
money selling your time, that is
working for someone. You will
have to be selling something
great to thousands of people.
Lets say you make a product
named X priced at Rs 200.
(Decent enough I believe).
To make Rs 2220 in an hour
you need to sell X to around 23
people every hour which is
equal to selling to around 552
people in a day to make 53
thousand. If you are selling it
yourself you can only sell for 8
hours (you will be exhausted),
you need to keep selling 24/7.
So you need someone else too
selling it for you (Probably
multiple sellers).
If the market for your product
is just India, you cannot sell it
for 24 hours. When you go to
sleep most of India will already
be asleep. You need to sell X
globally so that your product
can be bought for 24 hours all
around the world.
At the price of Rs 200 you need
to sell around 50,000 units of X
to make 1 Crore. You cannot
make it yourself. You need
someone else to make it for
you. Making a tangible good
priced at 200 and 50,000 units
is a difficult task to achieve and
the production cost will be out
of your budget. You need to
build something intangible
something electronic like a
software or something that can
be sold in electronic form.
Now the question is what will
the product X be? Here are my
2 ideas.
1. Self publish a book. It
should be worth reading
otherwise it wont sell.
2. Write a software that 50,000
people need.
What can you do with the
25000 you have?
Use it for advertising and
marketing. You will need a lot
of it to sell to so many people
globally.
The price you put on your
product determines how many
units you need to sell and for
how many hours.
So your only goal should be to
make a product that
thousands of people need.
Money will follow.
EDIT: Please don't take the
numbers at its face value.
Making that much is not as
easy as it looks like. The
answer is only a plan of what is
possible and not a real
business plan. You need to
consider taxes, commissions,
salaries and so many more
other expenses that come in
between.
The above is not an
exaggeration either. A close
friend of mine has a small
team which builds software
products for Big Companies.
Their pricing is based on per
employee usage. It took them 2
years to build the software and
its been 6 months since they
first started acquiring
customers. They have 3 paid
customers and each customer
has about 200-700 employees.
Their monthly income as of now
is close to 1.5 Lakhs (Before
taxes and salaries). If they get
10 more customers with
200-1000 employees each they
will cross the revenue of 1
crore.

10 Things You Could Learn From Gandhi To Be Sucessful

Do you know the most sucessful man on this earth ever.
Yes,It's Mahatma Gandhi.
I have listed 10 lessons from his life to be sucessful in life & this sucess is much greater sucess than,sucess in business.

1. He was aflame with love.
"Gandhi was a pioneer in these new realms of consciousness. Everything he did was an experiment in expanding the human being's capacity to love, and as his capacity grew, the demands on his love grew
more and more severe, as if to test what limits a human being can bear.
But Gandhi had learned to find a
fierce joy in these storms and trials.
. . .By the end of his life he was
aflame with love."

2) He expended all his energy in
service of others.
"Late in Gandhi's life a Western
journalist asked, 'Mr. Gandhi, you've been working fifteen hours a day for fifty years. Don't you ever feel like taking a few weeks off and going for a vacation?' Gandhi laughed and said, 'Why? I am always on vacation.'
Because he had no personal irons in the fire, no selfish concerns involved in his work, there was no conflict in his mind to drain his energy."

3) He gave his mission his best
shot.
"Full effort is full victory,' said
Gandhi. You need not be troubled if you have made mistakes, or if your ideal has slipped away. Just
continue to give your best. If you
fall, pick yourself up and march on. If you cannot run, walk. If you
cannot walk, crawl. Nothing in life is more joyful or more thrilling. The effort alone brings a continuing wave of joy in which every personal problem, every suffering and humiliation, is forgotten."

4) He reframed greed.
"There is a story told about
Mahatma Gandhi. On his train trips he used to get off at every stop and collect money for the poor. A friend said of him, 'If you want to see somebody consumed by greed, look no further.' Of course, instead of being greedy for himself, he was
greedy for the poor."

5) He practiced compassion in
creative ways.
"One day Gandhi stepped aboard a
train as it started to move, and one of his shoes slipped off and dropped on the tracks. Unable to retrieve it, he calmly took off his other shoe and threw it back along the track to land close to the first. When an amazed passenger asked why he had done that, Gandhi smiled and said, 'The poor man who finds the shoe lying on the track will now have a pair he can use.' With the eyes of his imagination, Gandhi saw a man with bare feet, saw him coming across a lone shoe and desperately searching
for the other, and saw the
disappointment on his face when he didn't find it; seeing these things, Gandhi did what he could to help."

6) He redefined success.
"Without realizing it, Gandhi had
found the secret of success. He
began to look on every difficulty as an opportunity for service, a
challenge which could draw out of
him greater resources of intelligence and imagination."

7) He emphasized the privilege of
giving. "Gandhi reminded us that it was everyone's privilege to give. We should thank the poor for giving us the opportunity to undo some of our karma."

8) He showed us how a mantra
could be one's staff of life.
"Rama, Gandhi's mantram, is a
formula for abiding joy. Gandhi used to walk for miles every day repeating it to himself until the rhythm of the mantram and his footsteps began to
stabilize the rhythm of his
breathing, which is closely
connected with the rhythm of the
mind. When fear or anger threatened him, clinging to Rama used the power of these emotions to drive this
formula for joy deep into Gandhi's
mind.
"Gandhi said: 'The mantram
becomes one's staff of life and
carries one through every ordeal.'

9) He was the essential pioneer of
nonviolence.
"In its positive form, nonviolence
means the largest love, the greatest charity. If I am a follower of nonviolence, I must love my enemy. I must apply the same rules to the wrong-doer who is my enemy or a stranger to me, as I would to my wrong-doing father or son. This active nonviolence necessarily includes truth and fearlessness. The practice of nonviolence calls forth
the greatest courage."

10) He passed on his spiritual
legacy to all of us.
"I have not the shadow of a doubt that any man or woman can achieve what I have, if he or she would make the same effort, and cultivate the same hope and faith.Gandhi, who always claimed he had no more than ordinary capacities, is proof that these spiritual laws do work, and
that by obeying them we can
transform our character and
consciousness. Gandhi belongs to
our own century and faced many of the problems we ourselves are facing today, and even though physically dead, he still continues to give new direction to our civilization."

Best Carrer Option After Engineering

You must have asked yourself
this question a lot of times at
some point or the other in your
life. In India you are not judged
by what you have studied but
what you do after you complete
your education. The society is
more concerned about the job
and salary you get after
education and not the
intellectual property you have
earned.
What have you thought about
doing next? M.Tech? OR MBA?
OR a job? Even if you have
decided on something, it is
advisable to explore the other
options lying in front of you. It’s
a truth never discussed or told.
We prefer keeping silent and let
things happen only to cry later
about the mistakes we made. Don’t leave an option straight
forward because it is too
mediocre. You don’t need to
follow others but to follow your
heart.

"Engineering students must first try to become entrepreneurs."
The important goal for engineering students after graduation was to involve in an entrepreneurship by starting their own business and switch over to jobs, if it ended in
failure, Kris Gopalakrishnan, co-
founder and former Vice Chairman of Infosys said.The main goal should be entrepreneurship, as like the Kerala University, which recently implemented the concept of residential entrepreneurship for the Students, Gopalakrishnan, said
while addressing the students at
Kumaraguru College of Technology, about Transforming Engineers into Entrepreneurs.
“A border perception is required,
an entrepreneur he or she should
realize it is a challenge. I am going
to find solution and to solve the
problem,” he suggested.
Gopalakrishnan, speaking as part of lecture series of C K Prahlad, said August eight being special because it is CK’s birth anniversary and August 15 is a milestone date for the nation and India@75 vision, he said.
Shankar Vanavarayar, Joint
Correspondent of the College and
Member, CII council of India @75,
said that India@75 is a platform
that was inspired by Dr C K
Prahalad. This CII initative
envisions to see India emerge as a
world leader through economic
strength, technological vitality and
moral leadership by 2022, he said.

Remember, if you want to worry
about what people think about
you or what people will think
about you if you do this or that,
then there is a problem! What
should ideally matter is how you
see yourself. Do you respect the
person you are? If yes, you are
on the right path & Must follow your dreams.

How to Be a Millionaire by Age 30

Getting rich and becoming a
millionaire is a taboo topic.
Saying it can be done by the age
of 30 seems like a fantasy.
It shouldn’t be taboo and
it is possible. At the age of 21, I
got out of college, broke and in
debt, and by the time I was 30, I
was a millionaire.

Here are the 10 steps that will
guarantee you will become a
millionaire by 30.

1. Follow the money- In today’s
economic environment you cannot
save your way to millionaire
status. The first step is to focus
on increasing your income in
increments and repeating that. My
income was $3,000 a month and
nine years later it was $20,000 a
month. Start following the money
and it will force you to control
revenue and see opportunities.

2. Don’t show off -show up! I
didn’t buy my first luxury watch or
car until my businesses and
investments were producing
multiple secure flows of income. I
was still driving a Toyota Camry
when I had become a millionaire.
Be known for your work ethic, not
the trinkets that you buy.

3. Save to invest, don’t save to
save - The only reason to save
money is to invest it.  Put your
saved money into secured, sacred
(untouchable) accounts. Never use
these accounts for anything, not
even an emergency. This will force
you to continue to follow step one
(increase income). To this day, at
least twice a year, I am broke
because I always invest my
surpluses into ventures I cannot
access.

4. Avoid debt that doesn’t pay
you - Make it a rule that you never
use debt that won’t make you
money. I borrowed money for a car only because I knew it could
increase my income. Rich people
use debt to leverage investments
and grow cash flows. Poor people
use debt to buy things that make
rich people richer.

5. Treat money like a jealous
lover - Millions wish for financial
freedom, but only those that make it a priority have millions. To get rich and stay rich you will have to make it a priority. Money is like a jealous lover. Ignore it and it will ignore you, or worse, it will leave you for someone who makes it a priority.

6. Money doesn’t sleep - Money
doesn’t know about clocks,
schedules or holidays, and you
shouldn’t either. Money loves
people that have a great work
ethic. When I was 26 years old, I
was in retail and the store I
worked at closed at 7 p.m. Most
times you could find me there
at 11 p.m. making an extra sale.
Never try to be the smartest or
luckiest person -- just make sure
you outwork everyone.

7. Poor makes no sense - I have
been poor, and it sucks. I have
had just enough and that sucks
almost as bad. Eliminate any and
all ideas that being poor is
somehow OK. Bill Gates has said,
"If you’re born poor, it’s not your
mistake. But if you die poor, it is
your mistake."

8. Get a millionaire mentor - Most
of us were brought up middle
class or poor and then hold
ourselves to the limits and ideas
of that group. I have been
studying millionaires to duplicate
what they did. Get your own
personal millionaire mentor and
study them. Most rich people are
extremely generous with their
knowledge and their resources.

9. Get your money to do the
heavy lifting - Investing is the Holy
Grail in becoming a millionaire
and you should make more money
off your investments than your
work. If you don’t have surplus
money you won’t make
investments. The second company
I started required a $50,000
investment. That company has
paid me back that $50,000 every
month for the last 10 years. My
third investment was in real
estate, where I started with
$350,000, a large part of my net
worth at the time. I still own that
property today and it continues to
provide me with income. Investing
is the only reason to do the other
steps, and your money must work
for you and do your heavy lifting.

10. Shoot for $10 million, not $1
million - The single biggest
financial mistake I’ve made was
not thinking big enough. I
encourage you to go for more than a million. There is no shortage of money on this planet, only a shortage of people thinking big enough.

Apply these 10 steps and they will
make you rich. Steer clear of
people that suggest your financial
dreams are born of greed. Avoid
get-rich-quick schemes, be ethical,
never give up, and once you make
it, be willing to help others get
there too.

Ardeshir studied law but couldn’t do well as a lawyer, so he later took up manufacturing business and started manufacturing medical equipments such as scissors, forceps, needles and scalpels but he failed into that too. One day while going through the newspaper he read about a
burglary that took place in the city
and how lack of good and quality
locks facilitated the process and that was the turning point of his life and he gave modern India the much needed quality locks. He expanded his business in a short time and now the Godrej Groups he founded has diversified its operations to real estate, soaps, FMCG products,
security and appliances.
