How To Organise A Guest Lecture
It's what every B-school does, and they can teach each other some great practices. After being at 7 different B-schools, here are some tips that I found them doing exceptionally right.

Budget 2017 Snapshot For PI Preparations
The Finance Minister has been able to achieve a difficult balance between growth-oriented expenditure and fiscal prudence. The thrust on infrastructure development expenditure is expected to fuel growth. Lowering tax rate to 25 % for SMEs would also help business growth. The stock market has given thumbs up to the budget proposals by the Sensex increasing by 486 points.

Role Of RBI And Finance Ministry In Demonetization
On 8th November 2016, our Hon’ble Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, announced the demonetization of all ₹500 and ₹1,000 banknotes of the Mahatma Gandhi Series. The primary reason was that the action would curtail the shadow economy and crack down on the use of illicit and counterfeit cash to fund illegal activity including terrorism. The decision has been a huge one as, RBI estimations suggested that 16.5 billion and 6.7 billion notes of 500 and 1000 respectively were floating in the economy and all the cost that went on to print these had gone sunk which cannot be undermined (around ₹3 for printing one ₹1000 note). But the amount of collection of black money that govt. was expecting was definitely a lot more than that as almost 84% of the cash was in the notes of 500(45%) and 1000(39%).

5 Book Recommendations For Aspiring HR Managers
A company or an organisation is only as good as the employees that work in it. And you as HR Managers or to be HR Managers, will be responsible for bringing the best out of your employees. If a laptop breaks, you can just call for another one, but when an employee leaves, albeit replaceable to a certain extent, the cost is higher. Processes, from recruitment to employee engagement and appraisal is in your hands. Since being in HR involves dealing with people every time, the most important skill that you need to garner is the ‘people skill’. Although this list of books is in no way comprehensive, it offers a way to get you started. And why learn from your mistakes when you can learn from research and mistakes made by others?

Innovation Is The Way Ahead – Tesla Story
Innovate, a word said by many, understood by very few. What is innovation? Is it doing something that has never been done? If that were the case, the Wright Brothers can’t be called innovators, because there were various others thriving to make that one vehicle that could fly. Is innovation coming up with something no one has ever seen? Apple could then never have been called innovative.

4 Ways The US H-1B Visa Bill Could Be A Blessing In Disguise
The $143 billion Indian IT industry is currently grappling with an issue of truly epic proportions that promises to demolish its fundamental leverage. This is an industry that has for long been considered India’s sunrise industry and a huge foreign exchange earner. But, all that is set to change.

What The Leaders From Top B-Schools Say About Union Budget 2017
Union finance minister Arun Jaitley’s budget for the year 2017-18 has evoked diverse reactions from politicians, industry leaders, experts, academia and social media. Good for some, not so good for others but one sector which has not seen much is the Higher Education Sector. Did the Government miss out on Higher Education especially beyond the government colleges?

The Union Budget 2017 Decoded
Budget 2017 announced by the Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is very comprehensive given the fact that it impacts both lower and upper strata of the society to a very large extent– reducing the individual tax rate from 10% to 5% for the lower slab, reducing the tax rate from 30% to 25% for MSMEs having a turnover up to Rs.50 Crores; imposing a surcharge of 10% on individual incomes in the range of Rs.50 lacs to Rs.1 Crore are the breakthrough proposals announced. Relaxation in the promoters’ holding limit for carry forwards of losses and the 3 –year tax holiday provided to start-ups will further boost the Prime Minister’s “Start Up India” campaign. For the educational sector, the FM announced online education portal- “Swayam”, which offers virtual education for 350 online courses, which provides more thrust to the government’s Digital India movement.
