Margin conundrum

adminDecember 3, 20203654 Views0

A calculation without sagacity How do companies with no professional management in place fail to make a profit? Most SMEs make margin miscalculations, and incur heavy unplanned expenditure owing to their failure in factoring overall expenses, writes Gignesh Govindan. Often we speak about SMART (specific, measurable, attainable, realistic, time-bound ) Goals. But do you know how choosing the correct goal statement and calculations determine the success and failure of an organization? A smart organisation engaged in retail business realises that its private-label (in house) brands fetch a margin of more than 50 per cent. Naturally, with 50 per cent of the revenue coming from the private label business the company's bottom line is supposed to improve. After SWOT analysis, it is conclud...

A “Civilised” Slavery

adminDecember 2, 20202403 Views0

No voice against human right violation The right to live a life is the most fundamental right to everyone on the earth, because every creation is the creation of nature. Nature creates everything with space for everyone to live freely too without violating other’s kingdom and obstructing others’ life. But human beings subjugate everything on the planet. Within the human world, there is another kind of subjugation by way of setting a frame of rules that further cut human freedom according to the wish of the ruling class. Over billions of years, human beings have undergone significant evolution. But savagery ambushed within the human mind has undergone no evolution. The human kingdom has seen the ruling class legitimising all human rights violations through a set of rules and regulation...

Kerala`s messed-up freedom of speech

Ecostar Editor MagNovember 27, 20201913 Views0

Authoritarian mindset and control on the PressRulers with the authoritarian mindset and authoritarians themselves come and go. They censor free-Press and anoint their spectres as the ambassadors of the Press to cover up their scandals. Long after the authoritarians vacate their seats, the civilization of the free speech stays alive to be the central pillars of the democracy. The passage of the ordinance in Kerala that was supposed to give the constabulary an extra power and driving the same into a dustbin within hours, shows an aborted attempt of an authoritarian mindset of the Marxist leader. The apostles of freedom of expression and cardinals of free Press were misled by the evasive Chief Minister of Kerala. It is virtual freedom at midnight. No joke, the Press in India is se...

Kerala`s Scandals: Many dirty cats in the stinking bag

adminNovember 24, 20202104 Views0

Scandals, which include money laundering, gold smuggling and controversial cronyism embroil Kerala State government. The government is at the fag-end of its five-year tenure. While the Chief Minister seems to have lost control over his subordinates, the miserably performing Finance Minister and Higher Education Minister of the State leave a big blot behind the ruling party that had once a strong base in the deep pockets of the State. An escape route from all the stains is a thought-out and moved about with a plan of adding to the power of State police, which often works as the ruling party’s volunteers. Indefensible, the government is afraid of growing trolls on its failure in social media, which has already started flooding beyond control. Some ill-headed advisors then convinced...

Ayurveda Day: This Time, Something Great To Be Proud Of

Ecostar Editor MagNovember 13, 20203425 Views0

Antagonists want Ayurvedic medicines to be known as preventive, even if it can give curative solutions. Calling it curative is good. If a vaccine gives a preventive cover against infection, can what is known as preventive be less equal than the vaccine? Ayurveda shows a long-drawn observational result of a formulation’s use, which underlines the prospects of an infallible clinical success. A sustainable result of a test on many generations throws more solid proof of the efficacy of a drug than clinical evidence that any drug dosage can render. Interestingly, some of the protagonists want to call the medicines quackeries owing to their ignorance. Some people reluctantly accepted it and used it openly or secretly, as a trial that is not so harmful to health. The result was fabulous, truly

US Presidential Election

adminNovember 7, 20202494 Views0

The counting conundrum that makes US democracy a joke From the first debate to the final counting, everything was a joke. The extravagant freedom granted by the US democracy to the candidates and voters has finally made the election carnival a funny game. The US needs to change its presidential model with a two-part ballot battle to offer a wider choice for people. If an American does not like both their presidential candidates, he or she has little choice for another one. However, in India, there are many candidates based on a voter’s political choice and individual liking. It seemed, democracy was a joke and election was fun for the Americans. The exchange of poking fun between two Presidential candidates, of whom one is an incumbent. The US Presidential candidates’ first face-off...
