All these posts were originally published in LinkedIn as part of the daily content I have been posting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. L&amp;T&#8217;s commitment to Self-Reliant India<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">L&amp;T affirms its commitment to Self-Reliant Indian Industry<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian construction giant and conglomerate\u00a0Larsen &amp; Toubro\u00a0reaffirmed its commitment to building a strong and feasible &#8220;Make In India&#8221; ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>The company aims to drastically reduce its dependency on imported products including those from China. This is done by putting processes and systems in place to develop a large scale, efficient and cost-effective domestic industrial ecosystem over a medium to long term.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company has also been involved in developing a strong supply chain of local vendor partners in its businesses, nurturing the local manufacturing and construction ecosystem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A welcome move from one of the big names in our industry, hoping other players will follow suit, making self-reliant India a reality.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Reliance becomes Net-Debt free<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Reliance Industries Limited\u00a0becomes Net-Debt free, keeps promise.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Indian conglomerate, Reliance Industries under the leadership of Mr Mukesh Ambani has become net-debt free. The company achieved this feat by raising over 1.68 lakh crore rupees in just 58 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company usually follows a high debt, high cash strategy. Leading to a debt of over 1.61 lakh crore rupees as of FY20.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>They raised the cash in way of 11 deals for 24.7% of the Jio Platforms and a rights issue for Reliance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The plan to go debt free was first announced during the company&#8217;s 42nd AGM in August 2019. Having set March 2021 as its target, they achieved this status a full 9 months in advance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On back of the powerful sentiments from investment firms, the stock has also doubled from 52 week lows. Making it the first Indian company to have a Market Capitalization of $150 Billion, which it achieved on 22<sup>nd<\/sup> June.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The company also plans to list Jio and Reliance Retail within 5 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3.  Atmanirbhar Bharaat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">Atmanirbhar Bharat, but how?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The recent news of Delhi-Merut RRTS Tunnel Project where a Chinese firm has become L1 over an Indian firm has received a lot of attention in wake of the current tensions between the two countries.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The difference between the L1(Chinese) and L2(Indian) bidders is just 44 crores or less than 4%. And yet the contract might go to the lowest bidder, because of our love for the &#8220;lowest bidder&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A workable solution on how this can be tackled can be found in Kerala, in its nearly 100-year-old cooperative company that an IIT Professor has called as a mini-Kerala version of L&amp;T: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiancooperative.com\/featured\/ulccs-a-mini-kerala-version-of-lt-iit-professor\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ULCCS<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of its status as a cooperative entitles it to various benefits from the government.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1\ufe0f\u20e3 If the bid price of ULCCS is higher than a private contractor\u2019s but the difference is within 10%, the project can be awarded to the <a href=\"https:\/\/economictimes.indiatimes.com\/news\/economy\/infrastructure\/how-this-kerala-cooperative-in-the-infrastructure-sector-has-become-a-role-model\/articleshow\/72615180.cms?\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">cooperative<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2\ufe0f\u20e3 Exempt from depositing earnest money or a performance guarantee&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3\ufe0f\u20e3 Award projects up to a certain amount directly to it without calling for a tender&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Given the renewed interest in self-dependence, it is prime time that such steps (especially 1) that favour and makes Indian companies more competitive over others are taken.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. 5 C&#8217;s of Wisdom<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">5 C&#8217;s of Wisdom<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Collection: Everything you experience forms a collection of data, the books you read, movies you watch, conversations you have, everything. This is raw Data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Categorize: Data in itself may appear meaningless, so you categorize based on its type and your experiences you&#8217;ve had with them. This is Information.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Criss-Crossing: Once you&#8217;ve categorized the information, you see patterns emerging, intertwining and relationships between them. This is Knowledge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Couple: Somewhere you find that there is a link between 2 data sets, but you don&#8217;t know how they are connected, yet. This is Insight.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Connect: Then you develop an ability to connect 2 seemingly random dots to an untrained eye with logic, reasoning and meaningfully. This is true Wisdom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1021\" height=\"332\" src=\"https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/0.jpg\" alt=\"5C's of Wisdom through DIKIW\" class=\"wp-image-720\" srcset=\"https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/0.jpg 1021w, https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/0-300x98.jpg 300w, https:\/\/eskrishnaram.com\/blogs\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/06\/0-768x250.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 767px) 89vw, (max-width: 1000px) 54vw, (max-width: 1071px) 543px, 580px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Further Reading: <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/DIKW_pyramid\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"undefined (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">DIKW Pyramid<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5.  Leveraging LinkedIn<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"has-text-align-center wp-block-heading\">The 90-9-1-0.1 Rule<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Once you&#8217;ve set up your profile and is optimized, the next thing to do is to start posting content on the platform and I&#8217;ll tell you why it&#8217;s important.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The 90-9-1 Rule applies to online communities, with the numbers showing the percentage of its users falling into 3 broad categories<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>90% \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Lurkers: Users that just scroll through content without engaging with them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>9% \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Contributors: Users that engage with content in some form, through comments or re-shares often by adding their own thoughts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>1% \ud83d\udc49\ud83c\udffb Creators: These are the group of people that actively create content on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The easiest thing to do to set oneself apart from others is to &#8220;CREATE&#8221;.

A coffee at Taj would cost 50 odd rupees whereas coffee at a roadside shop would have only cost a couple of rupees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A friend who noticed this asked, why so? He replied:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>&#8220;I am paying 5 bucks for the coffee and another 45 bucks because the Taj gives me an opportunity to connect with the city&#8217;s most influential people! It&#8217;s not about the coffee; it&#8217;s about acquainting myself and developing relationships with the people who really count&#8221;<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Not sure if he ordered coffee or tea, but that mindset sure is a lesson in networking and why having a unique perspective on life is such a superpower.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reading my blog for the first time?
