India Rising

Dear Friends,

Have you ever wondered what it takes to be successful?

As I understand its first your hard work with a clearly defined goal. Second, proper planning for achieving the goal and last but not the least it’s fate or destiny.

One more thing I have come to understand that good luck comes naturally to people who do the first two things i.e. hard work and planning.

The true qualities of a good leader, other than all of the above, are building a good team and keeping the team motivated for a good team work.

Why there was a feeling of despair and within six months why is there a sudden feeling of hope in our country?  No miracles have happened. The quarterly corporate results are nothing really great. The Industrial production, the inflation, diesel prices, etc nothing has visibly changed. But still there is hope.

The hope in India is because of its leadership. Full credits to the team of this leader for having a clear and focused goal of what he wanted to achieve. Working hard has been the way of his life and rest is history.  The story did not end there. After the first goal, the planning was so detailed, they knew exactly what was to be done once the first target was achieved.  The team was announced without any baggage, the interest of the people was kept at the top of the agenda. It wasn’t a pleasing game, although

The hopes for a better future get further reinforced by carefully observing the way Government takes up the challenge. It begins with disciplining the work force to gather their acts, as no nonsense would be tolerated, setting an example of the same and before talking big things, cleaning up in the literal sense.

Having cleaned up his back yard, it was time to get to work. And what a way! What timing! Within a span of 15 days. Mangalyaan enters Mars orbit on the first attempt at an unbelievable low cost, sending a clear message to the world, that India has arrived…

Let’s talk business.

Japan commits billions and so do China and the U.S.A.  One cannot miss out on the grand prelude with almost forty Congressmen, including members of the Senate, the who’s who of the Indian Diaspora, at the Madison Square before the grand finale with the President.

Now you see the reason of hope for a better future of our country. With hundreds of billions of Dollars committed to ‘Make in India’ there sure is hope for a brighter future. That it will generate the required infrastructure and employment for the people of this country.

The new leadership is looking in place to lead the country to truly make it a super power. The thought is right, the vision is right, the initial moves are right. Now the nation hopes the government better stays committed and deliver. Needless to say, the responsibility is huge and the expectations even higher.

The best part is, though there is a lot expected from the leaders, we as citizens need to get united to be proud of our motherland and by working for the country, no matter how small our contribution, and build a strong nation.

And if even a small portion of this is achieved, one can only guess where the capital markets will be. Its time you got your act together.
