Suhel Seth It’s Not The Economy Stupid It’s Us If the taps are dry, blame it on the government; if there’s a callous traffic incident, blame it on the government; if there’s an issue with paying your taxes, blame it on the Government. In many ways, we are the Republic of Whiners. And the people who whine the most are the ones who have often misused every iota of benefits accorded to them. They will be the ones who’ve tried to evade every possible law and then make it out to be an issue of ‘Ease of Doing Business in India’. Our economy is not in the finest of health but then to blame the Prime Minister (some have even gone decades back to blame Indira Gandhi for nationalising banks) and his Council of Ministers alone is silly. On my part, any economy’s strength lies not in how its capital markets perform or just random GDP numbers but instead because of the process of law. about Rural India and how it is (and will be a major driver of economic growth) and yet there were leakages and spillages without even adequate infrastructure.
Suhel Seth Suhel Seth Gently Into The Night By the time this piece appears online, almost everything anyone knows, would have been written about Arun Jaitley. From those who thought of him as a friend to those who considered him to be a mentor or for the many who swore by his legal acumen and his political chutzpah. For me none of the above actually defined him: neither individually nor as a composite whole. To me Jaitley was and will remain the quintessential humanist: the man who got off a 15 hour flight from New York and came straight to the prayer ceremony for my late father. Or the one who would hold my father’s hands just when his knees were giving way and actually sacrifice an on-shore excursion just so that he could keep my Dad company. For him, his friends were his world and I would often wonder how Dolly and the kids even accepted that? Holidays with Jaitley were never about museums or shopping trips though he loved Jermyn Street and London was his favourite stomping ground. Decency and goodness were his twin traits.
Made In India Saga-Suhel Seth In this self-inflicted saga of gloom and doom that most of corporate India are reeling under, it would be pertinent to inject some infectious enthusiasm that is laced with positivity. We need to appreciate the swiftness of response that the Government has exhibited when confronted with a slow-down, the likes we haven’t seen in a long time. And then there’s the additional good news of the many start-ups that have grown to be unicorns as also the news about how some traditionally iconic Indian brands are re-inventing themselves. It was famously said, that economies thrive when there is a greater focus on the ‘demand’ side rather than the ‘supply’ side and probably that will have to be true of India too. The problem with our country has been that for far too long we have tinkered with the supply side rather than worrying about spurring demand. We have seen that brands that encourage consumer consumption are the ones that generally succeed. India needs a new lease of happiness.

In other words, one can say that the business in the current time has gotten reduced to marketing.

Nabil Patel Director DB Realty: Things to Keep in Mind When Purchasing a House by Shruti Sharma Content Curator The 21st-century home buyer is in a much better position as compared to the earlier generations, thanks to the advent of the Internet and a rapidly growing economy which has led to an increase in the purchasing power. In today’s advanced age all it needs is the click of a mouse to get all the required information about a property.

Buying a home is a big decision and it is important to distinguish credible developers, like DB Realty, from non-established ones. About Shruti Sharma Content Curator Comments
