Guest Lectures at Universities

How often have you felt that the Guest Lecture organized was not worth it.

Well, I have gone through this and thought of writing this blog just to help some, from making the same mistakes again.
Let us start with some points to remember (prior to inviting him/her):


  1. Prepare a list of topics that your group wants to keep the lectures focussed on, never digress from that.
  2. Verify the work performed by the lecturer and view the lecture videos if available online
  3. Do not fall for big names or firms and call them just because they hold or have held a big position in those firms
  4. Remember you want to learn and not waste time. The lecturer should be a good orator.
  5. If possible the lecturer could send the macro level topics he shall cover, in advance to guage class involvement
  6. Always take a voting amongst classmates to know if your own batch would attend or not
  7. Never try to call a lecturer for current affairs (less than 3 months old), you may get one-sided views
  8. Keep the questions prepared from the audeience and let the topic not get digressed
  9. Do not call someone just because they are superiors / friends or acquintances. Focus on substance / quality.
  10. Last but not the least, call someone who an motivate you or give you a perspective to do something going forward


Please share your thoughts and suggestions to add your points to this list.

Capstone - Round Wise Suggestions

Dear Readers, Before I explain further on CAPSIM, hope you have read the previous posts ( LINK1 , LINK2 ) on CAPSTONE. Remember the ground rules: Round 1 to 3 even if you make no profits its OK. But aim should be that from Round 4 you are steadily making NET and cumulative profits. The round where the market goes into recession could be changed so accordingly change your strategy The round where the labor goes on strike could change so always apply the round 7 details below for that specific round of yours. Always remember that long term loans are always cheaper to short term loans. Also this game is for 8 years only, while some loans will mature only after that. Always take loan and avoid emergency loan in any round. Never sell your shares too much into market. Never buy shares unless you have excess cash reserves. Any R&D and buying of plant capacity will take effect only at the end of the year !! If your R&D finished in August, then all pending units and future

Prevision on IndianAutomobile Industry

It was predicted that India's vehicle sector is positioned for a rapid expansion to become the third largest in sales, hitting 5.5 million sales by 2022, in an internal report I authored in 2017–18. India's vehicle sales (commercial and passenger vehicles combined) grew by an average of 21.6 in FY 2020–21 and FY 2021–22, despite the effects of COVID, and are now the third largest in the world, surpassing Japan. According to Nikkei Asia, India had the third-highest sales of new vehicles in 2022 , behind the US and China, with 4.25 million units sold. Two characteristics with the Indian automotive market stand out in 2022: output there hit new heights of almost 5.1 million, and it was dubbed one of the few fastest-growing markets after Covid. For major players like Hyundai, Skoda, Kia, and Suzuki, the stakes in India have only increased. These increases in sales and production were only made feasible by pent-up demand and recent improvements in the supply of semiconductor chips.
