1. Good intentions

Growing inequality in the U.S. is not only killing the economy, but it threatens to undermine the nation’s values and identity. America today can no longer regard itself as the land of opportunity that it once was, with equality of opportunity less evident than in Europe. – Joseph Stiglitz

The occupy Wall Street movement to me is a great example. In this case unfortunately is not the solution but people say ‘enough is enough’. I want solutions and it should send a strong message. – Paul Polson, Chairman Unilever

Preet Bharara, who has been leading the Obama administration’s ongoing crackdown on insider trading, said in a statement released after the conviction that Gupta “once stood at the apex of the international business community. Today, he stands convicted of securities fraud. He achieved remarkable success and stature, but he threw it all away. Having fallen from respected insider to convicted inside trader, Mr. Gupta has now exchanged the lofty board room for the prospect of a lowly jail cell.” – TIME

We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them. ~ Albert EinsteinContinue reading “Who is the inside trader – Rajat Gupta, Rajaratnam, Goldman Sachs or Warren Buffett?”

Corporate Critical Density

1. What is the Energy force of your organization?

The latest jargon around corporate offices is sustainability, isn’t it? What profits of yours are sustainable? What energy have you derived from your strategies, from your initiatives? Or what have you lost by interacting with the government, with the competition? What does a stakeholder got to do in your day-to-day dispensation of practices and policies? What is your position in the corporate world compared to the best? Will you ever be noticed if you better the best? Who is the best? If not you, then who? If not now, when? What is sustainable of your efficiency? Of your values? Of your profits?  What values distinguish between what is valuable and valueless? What abstractions are brought into reality, acknowledged for value where value is due, and deconstructed the valueless?Continue reading “If not now, when? If not you, then who?”

The Honourable President of India

மைக்ரோ சிப்புக்குள் மக்களாட்சித் தேர்தல்: (Democratic Election inside a Micro Chip)





I am happy to reproduce an Article from a Tamizh Magazine Thamizhini June 2010 (www.tamizhini.com) Author: Elango Kallaanai: World should know how Indian General Elections 2009 was 100% rigged: I shall be posting the English version of the same soon. I am keen this article is also posted in Hindi considering the upcoming elections in UP.

Elango has done a great job of highlighting the EVM faults and citizens of India have the right to know how they are being fooled. World’s largest democracy is ruled by the biggest crooks the world has witnessed. Please note the article was published in 2010 when 2G scam was yet to hit the headlines and Raja continued to be Cabinet Member of UPA2.

I have also added some images from http://indiaevm.org/media.html who have been responsible in highlighting the EVM frauds and recommend readers to visit the site mentioned. – Jayaraman Rajah Iyer

Proposal to the Government of Tamil Nadu – Intangible Measuring Governance & deriving Governance-deficit





I give below the executive summary and Table of Contents of my proposal to the State Government of Tamil Nadu for measuring Governance and Governance-deficit of the State. Governments are dependent on Corporate on Revenue generation and Corporate is least interested in Government’s Social Responsibility initiatives. Governments have to know what Corporate is doing. My proposal to the Government of Tamil Nadu is how to become efficient by themselves and initiate bringing Corporate into Social Responsibility. Main say will be the people. The people of Tamil Nadu are indeed rich with great abilities that I have suggested how to introduce the concept of Governance right from the school level.

Please do have an opinion and you are welcome. Those NGOs who are in education please feel free to be in touch with me.

Intangible Connecting the Dots – .gov, .com, .edu, .. Intellectual Capital of The state of Israel – Case Study by IBCM

I am pleased to release this Research Paper from IBCM a Case Study on Intellectual Capital of The State of Israel. The State of Israel has done exceptionally well in Human Resources utilization for the growth and achievements, that are many, of the country. Countries like India that waste Agricultural Produce in millions of tonnes while millions are languishing in utter poverty and die of hunger, must learn how to use the resources entrusted to their care. In India Human Capital is deliberately undermined with religious animosity fanned to inflame hatred and violence, as a State Policy.
