Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Here is what I envisaged 2 years back ( re: disruptions likely to be caused by Reliance ) :


What Business Are You In ? …………………………………………………..[  22  July  2017  ]



Extract from my blog :

It is high time for the giants of  Telecom Industry  to ask of themselves :

WHAT  BUSINESS  ARE  WE  IN  ?



Are we in the business of  “ MOBILE  TELEPHONY “  or are we in the business

of  “ MOBILE  ENTERTAINMENT “ ?



Then , after 5 years , what business should we be in ?



Should we continue to remain in   “ MOBILE  ENTERTAINMENT  or should we consider

ourselves in the business of “ MOBILE  SOLUTIONS “  for ANY / EVERY problem faced by a

user ?



And should we continue our “ Backward  Integration “  into the  ENTERTAINMENT

INDUSTRY  or should we  integrate with Start Ups  in  HEALTH-CARE / EDUCATION /

EMPLOYMENT  ?



The writing is on the Wall – for professional executives who can read !


In another blog   [  Disruption : The Inevitable / 08 July 2018 ], I prepared the following

partial list of Industries which have been disrupted :



Extract :


What will this do to 1 Gbps  JioGigaFibre announced by Reliance just 3 days back ?
