noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 24 Nov 2014 02:57:00 +0000

Just came across a website to generate a QR code, which is a two dimensional barcode that stores information in black and white dots.

Once done you can place and use the QR graphic on leaflets, posters, business cards or other products without any costs / for free (including commercial use).Here is what I just created

Thanks to the rapid growth, Indian wealth per adult in rupees has increased steadily at a rate of 8% annually over 2000-2014, according to the investment bank Credit Suisse.

The fifth annual study by the Swiss bank of global wealth trends found the median Indian wealth per adult was $4650 in mid 2014 well below as compared to China which is USD 21,330 in 2014.Currency movements often exacerbate the difference however still the difference is still very pronounced.

Household wealth in India is heavily skewed towards property and other real assets which 86% of estimated assets. The 2014 Global Wealth Report shows global wealth is 20 per cent above its pre-crisis peak and almost 40 per cent higher than the low recorded in 2008.

While Indian wealth has strongly risen the gap between the rich and poor is still high, as not everyone has shared in India’s growth. Ninety five percent of the adult population has wealth below USD 10,000 on the other end only 0.3 percent has a net worth of USD100, 000.

Ever wonder if you can ask 'Google' to forget you

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 13 Oct 2014 03:49:00 +0000

Wonder no more Google Transparency Reports contains data shedding light on how laws and politics affect internet users and the flow of information online.Google transparency reports allows users to browse on the current reports of link removal requests from their searches.

A recent example is the 146,357 request received by Google in Europe to remove content related to embarrassing information about people's lives from from the search result.

Guess this set up a precedent for internet users to ask 'Google ' to forget them however to what extent its a feasible proposition needs to be defined while also striving to stand by its belief that all of the world's information should be universally accessible.

Now a smartphone sidewalk lane in China ,What next

To my astonishment I just read that China has introduced a smartphone sidewalk lane,dedicated to
smartphone users in city of Chongqing in Southwest China.

Although I am a believer of new ideas which would assist community,I still can't assimilate
the impact technology is having on our day to day lifestyle.

Good or bad,time will tell whether such phenomenon will catch on throughout the world.

What I believe is such ideas are just reiterating that'Technology is taking over our lives' and we are
spending much more time on smartphones then actually viewing the outside world.

Tips for digital parents

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 11 Sep 2014 05:07:00 +0000

Facebook has become a crucial online communication tool for parents to stay in touch with family and friends in the last decade, the ease of accessibility of Face book through smartphone, tablets and laptop means it is available on the go.

However as always, good things come with its challenages.Kids especially teenager kids are most likely to decline your friend requests from you to avoid embarrassing moments of you adding a baby picture of them or posting a parent post on their Face book wall.

Here are some Tips to avoid suspicion from kids about accepting request from you.

->Don't join a fan group just because your kid did, give them some space and be yourself on face book

->Don't try to be friends with your kids list of 100 friends-Draws the line when adding friends

-Don’t over share when posting picture of kids

->Don’t post and tag a picture of your Kids

->Online world of communication doesn’t differ much from the real life conversation. Just don’t be judgemental and use face book to your benefit of parent hood

Let's talk about social media.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Thu, 04 Sep 2014 04:36:00 +0000

My experience with social media is certainly not new and at times it becomes a bit of an addiction. I am not talking about Facebook but something which a professional consultant like me, use a lot to promote their skills set and experience. Yes a self marketing free tool which helps you to get your next break, and this particular tool is called LinkedIn.

To me my LinkedIn profile represents a great opportunity to promote myself in this era of Globalization and I always seem to thought I am doing a great job.

Until recently when someone (a young HR manager) told me that simply having a LinkedIn profile doesn’t guarantee a new job, you need to be at forefront to make sure your profile is visible to the headhunter out there.

The young HR manager did recommend me few pointers which I thought are worth implementing and I thought sharing with you all.

Your LinkedIn profile should be more than a repeat of your resume.

It should have the necessary keywords that will make your profile visible when a HR Manager searches it on LinkedIn.

Making your name visible on Google Search. A ranking of your name. Never thought that would be an issue; however you would be surprised how many people out there have same name as yours.

Surprisingly my current linked profile views aren’t that great however I done a few tweaks as per the recommendation and will be tracking the progress of new ‘who viewed your profile’ to make sure its reaching the right audience.

Changed my professional headline so that it has the right Keywords

Took a snapshot of my the New ‘who vied my profile’ to track

Check Google rank for my name, which is number already.

Happy to receive any further feedback from the experts out there as I know I have missed alot here.Here is my Linkedin Profile

Can 'Google' be the next Crystal Ball?

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 11 Aug 2014 02:17:00 +0000

Ever wondered what people are searching in India, Googletrends provides an insights of what people are searching on Google most.

The search data on Google trends definitely provides some value in what people are thinking and if we apply some mechanic towards analysis of this data, days aren’t far away when Google would be the next 'Crystal ball’

For example notice the snapshot of 'Google trends ‘in Indiawhich has 'Ebola' as one of the top searches in India, which clearly identifies the early stages of a potential outbreak of a Flue in India. Not to mention appropriate analysis needs to be done before we can come to a conclusion.

However on the flip side there are examples where Google searches could predict how a Bollywood movie premier'Singham Returns' would do on the opening day by comparing it with the number of search for that movie trailer in the four weeks before its release.

I guess its journey where now atleast we have a tool to analysis 'Collect Human thinking' and predict ‘Human Mind’. See study by Warwick Business School

Let go your employee mindsets -Things which help in becoming a freelancer transitioning to an Entrepreneur.

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Mon, 28 Apr 2014 04:53:00 +0000

1) Make Self Growth your Top priority Being a freelancer is full of challenges and at times you just don't get enough projects to sustain and even if you are able to survive it’s not constant. My advice to all freelancers is to make self growth your priority, seek more learning situations and experiences.

2) Create a Brand-Value based-Be genuine A new way to make a brand of your skills is through Internet, traditional networking ways still work but now you can get more exposure through tools available on the Internet. Develop a brand and share your knowledge which would help someone. Write blogs develop a subscriber list.

3) Avoid spam-Have the right audience Monitoring your conversion rate is the best way to examine whether you are focusing on the right audience, so while developing a brand avoid spam and chose your market carefully.

4) Act now You have the qualifications, skills and there is no reason why you shouldn't achieve what you desire for. Acting now would give you a start and gradually developing your brand name, value base would help overcome your shortcoming. You won’t believe until u act, it’s the initial start up which is tough rest becomes your second nature.

5) Let go your employee mindset Being an employee is easy it’s a mindset followed by society as a whole, once freelancing has become your second nature the transition to become an entrepreneur is easy.

6) Work hard and smart and don't become attached to results. I remember the wording of Bhagwat Gita(holy book of Hindus) karm kiye ja fal ki icha mat kar(Work hard and smart and don't become needy of results) Follow youR passion and you will see the results.

7) Learn from others-get a mentor Learning from others saves you from being alone, you would need it someday because you can’t know everything. Even a Doctor doesn't know how to manage a business--partner with like minded people.

8) Remember your breakeven point Having a huge budget or small budget doesn't make a difference, the difference is made how and where you spend it. Know YOU BREAK EVEN POINT.

Steps which would help you run a business

1) Direction-Have a vision and plan
2) Head space-Stretch yourself, Think big, Believe yourself, Discipline it’s like a bridge (Set Dreams---- Realistic Dreams), Mixing with right people, Overcoming your fear.
3) Money-Know your cash flow, breakeven point, Budgeting and reporting Example Sales 100=(Variable Cost =75)+(Gross Profit= 15)+(Owner Salary= 5)+(Net profit =5)+Equity 0+(Cash =5)
4) Time-Learn to Delegate, Learn to finish today and plan tomorrow, Keep a Diary
5) Delivery-Delivering consistently which is equal to foundation for healthy growth, Customer goes by perception Stick to above and things would eventually start happening, the transition from freelancing to entrepreneur business is all about 1) Niche =Cash) Leverage=Team) Synergy =Freedom) Results=Diversification
6)Have Life Mantra 1) Never wish your life were easier, Wish that you are better. 2) Be a result driven person with following qualities such as Ownership, Accountable and responsible, 3) Don’t have reason such as Blame, Excuse and Denial. 4) Real business is fun and which works with u

Accommodation for Indians in Sydney

noreply@blogger.com (Anonymous) — Sat, 11 Jul 2009 05:20:00 +0000

During my visits to Australia for Business I have experienced how
difficult itwould be for people like me to make arrangements for
accommodation and Airport pickup.

As an Indian Business man I can relate to all Indian visiting
Sydney. Whether you are Businessman or an executive visiting
Sydney for a short project you definitely needpeace of mind to
concentrate on what you are going for rather then being
worried of Accommodation.

Following observations can be learned from my experience

•Getting a well furnished apartment near the CBD could be expensive.

•Getting all the amenities and furnishing for a short stay
would be a waste of time and money.

•Researching the right place which would be near
to transport,grocery store would be tedious.

•Companies in India are also unable to cope up
the burden of property management and leave
individualto make their own choice in the
last minute.

Due to my ongoing visits to Sydney I have finally managed to overcome all the above situations and through this blog wont to express my Interest to Help all Indians visiting Sydney.You can contact me through email-pardeeprajgupta@gmail.com and I will try to help you.
