A Batch With A Difference, PGP32 - Abhijit From IIM Lucknow

Industrial Relations In Tata Steel: A Detailed Overview - Shubham From XLRI

Tata Steel, one of the largest employers of blue collar workers in the country, has successfully maintained cordial and productive relationships with its workforce through effective Industrial Relations management for more than a century.

In Jamshedji Tata’s own words, “We do not claim to be more unselfish, more philanthropic than other people. But we believe in sound and generous business principles and regard the health and the welfare of our employees as a sure foundation of our prosperity". Throughout the history of the organisation, the industrial relations setup in Tata Steel has set many labour standards and precedents.

Uberization In Banking : A Mobile Revolution - Shubham From XLRI

Due to rapid proliferation of online medium and the gradual opening up of the banking sector with time, a growing demand can be seen for alternate banking solutions, like small payment banks and money transfer through mobile.
