VOCAL FOR LOCAL HOW IS IT A BOON FOR INDIAN STARTUPS?

While well-established Indian companies like Bisleri, Parle Products, Patanjali, and Amul had figured out the value of being a Swadeshi company, new Indian startups are yet to learn the ‘Vocal for Local’ is an advantage.

For those of you who have tuned out the news to maintain sanity, on May 13, 2020, India’s Prime Minister, Narendra Modi incited the nation to buy, value, and feel proud of local products. 

In the competitive world of smart technologies, many individuals are enthusiast about initiating a startup with their brilliant idea. But considering the facts and survey results of the past 5 years, it seems that many startup companies fail to survive even for 12 months. Shocking, isn’t it?

But why really is that happening? Considering the fact that the idea they are trying to realize is OUT-OF-THE-BOX, these influencers fail to convince the prospects into committed clients.

One of the major factors that play a definite role is startup funding. You might have a great idea in your head, but if you do not possess monetary to realize the same into a living reality, you might just be wasting your time then my friend! To push ‘Vocal for Local’ and support the program pragmatically, an unload of the amount of Rs. 20 lakh crores was announced under Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan Package which supports MSMEs profoundly. India’s finance minister, Nirmala Sitharaman, gave details about reforms to support stressed businesses.

Therefore, the ‘Vocal for Local’ is most certainly helpful to the Indian startup ecosystem as many of these startups would fall under MSME. These startups can grow to a certain size without losing their MSME tag. Above that, it presents a great opportunity for Indian startups to integrate themselves in the GVC (Global Value Chain) and get global from local.

Career in Architecture

 

The Changing Culture of ARCHITECTURE in Modern India 

The changing culture of architecture in modern India, both as a lifestyle and as a profession, has been eye-opening. In terms of lifestyle, we never predicted the extent to which architecture and design could affect us as well as the society and culture we live in, nor did we predict how deeply symbolic of our beliefs and attitudes they’d become.

As a profession, the huge wave of development and technology that caused us to try and ape everything that didn’t belong to us, has made us question and search for our own identity and provoked us to revisit the solid traditional roots and foundation of Indian architecture.

The Indian government’s massive Smart Cities Mission, which aims to develop 100 sustainable and citizen-friendly cities all over the country, has done very little to include architectural voices into the conversation. Same goes for our heritage structures that are being replaced by modern structures despite resistance shown by architects.

At the onset of your career as an architect, you will be ideally required to understand all the practical aspects of being on the job and strike the right balance between understanding client requirements and coming out with a design, which is creative and practically correct.

Options are available with construction companies, builders, private consultancies, and many more. For those who want to build a career in shaping the country’s future infrastructure, jobs are available in the public sector in departments such as National Institute of Urban Affairs, National Building Organization, Public Works Department, Housing and Urban Development Corporation, Ministry of Defence, Departments of Railways, Post and Telegraphs, Public Sector Undertakings, NationBrinda Somayaal Building Construction Corporation Ltd., Town and Country Planning Organization, etc

Journalism as a Career Option

 

EMERGING DIGITAL ERA IN JOURNALISM OPENING THE SCOPE FOR NEW 100+ MEDIA CHANNELS

Career opportunities in mass communication are expected to increase as more than 100 news channels will come up in next five years. Thanks to mass media, news and entertainment job opportunities are aplenty for trained professionals in various roles – particularly in journalism and films.

India being the largest producer of films in the world has ample opportunities. Technically qualified media professionals can work for TV channels, production houses or can make documentaries on their own.

A professional course in mass communication opens doors for a career in films & TV, publishing, public relations, journalism, editing, direction, filmmaking, scriptwriting, production, etc. In nutshell, Mass Communication widens up the horizon of career options for a person.

Depending upon personal interest and inclination a mass communication professional can choose a job. Attractive and high paying jobs as journalist, actor, director, editor, screenwriter, RJ, producer, VJ are available to the talented and trained individuals. While the Indian GDP grew at an abysmal rate of 4.2 per cent in 2019, the rate of growth of the Media and

Entertainment (M&E) sector stood at a considerable 9 per cent and the total value of the sector reached 1.82 trillion. This figure should be enough to indicate that a degree in Communication and Journalism puts an aspirant at a distinct advantage over others.

Contrary to popular perceptions, there are innumerable opportunities in the M&E sector and more particularly in the digital domain, which is growing at an even faster rate. Post the Covid-19 crisis physical interactions among citizens would considerably decrease and this would result in higher consumption of M&E products and consequently, there would be a quantum jump in manpower requirement in the sector, significantly increasing the number of jobs.

Best Career Options after Covid-19 Pandemic

 

Career Options after Covid 19

We are passing through a very tough and unpredictable phase in our life. COVID 19 has changed substantially, the way we live. Many newly emerged burning issues stare at us. In “live with COVID” era, many alternatives will be forced to develop to substitute the old style of functioning of man-machine and knowledge delivery.

Field of education too cannot insulate itself from such alternatives and drastic changes are taking place in the educational field too at a rapid pace. Beyond the top band of institutional excellence with private universities setting best practices, Indian academia has been in need of transformation, long before the onset of the pandemic. There is an opportunity to rethink the traditional education system now.

Digital learning is leading the charge as a mainstay, and many new trends are picking up momentum across the globe. Multidisciplinary and modular pedagogy that afford transferable skills and customized learning will succeed. Post-pandemic times could see a blend of e-learning and mainstream face-to-face teaching with a boost from traditional universities and the ed-tech sector.

This year is beginning with a remarkable change in the education as the most awaited new education policy has been announced by the government of India.  The changes in the new education policy will have long-term impact on how the education is delivered and teaching learning is going to take place in this country.

Apex University recognized the possibility of such changes and stated making changes regularly on the basis of recommendation of UGC and other regulatory bodies. The future changes which are going to take please due to the recent announcement of change in the new education policy will also be incorporated in our system at the earliest.

The best part of the new education policy is that no year is wasted and students will get certificate, diploma or degree depending on when he/she drops out whereas earlier if you are unable to clear even one paper all the years of your study are wasted.

Recently we have already introduced the Choice Based Credit System (CBCS) as envisaged by the UGC and provides the opportunity for learning to our students such as ability enhancement courses and giving them an opportunity to take electives from different domain of education.

The aim of the university is to provide our student opportunities to learn and excel in the areas of their choices so that their overall development can place.

Many such emerging areas in addition to what we know i.e.,  Artificial Intelligence, Robotics, Mechatronics, Big Data Analysis are listed below in which India can also play important role if we make selective investment and nurture our talent in these areas.

The emerging areas to ponder over are; Bio-plastics could solve a major pollution problem as advanced solvents and enzymes are transforming woody wastes into better biodegradable plastics.

Tiny lenses will enable design of miniature optical devices thin, flat metal lenses could replace bulky glass for manipulating light. A special class of proteins offers promising targets for drugs for cancer, Alzheimer’s  and new possibilities for treating cancer and other ills Smarter fertilizers can reduce environmental contamination new formulations deliver nourishment on demand.

Collaborative telepresence could render distance (relatively) meaningless as participants in virtual gatherings will feel like they are physically together. Advanced food tracking and packaging will save lives and cut waste a combination of two technologies could vastly improve food safety.

Safer nuclear reactors are on the way as resilient fuels and innovative reactors could enable a resurgence of nuclear power. DNA data storage is closer than what we think and life’s information-storage system is being adapted to handle massive amounts of information.

We also need to keep in our mind what Mahatma Gandhi has said;

“Live as if you were to die tomorrow. Learn as if you were to live forever”

Career in Hotel Management

 

HOSPITALITY INDUSTRY PROVIDING 6 MILLION NEW JOBS OPENINGS ACROSS 185 countries every year 

INDIA’S POPULATION of 1.3 billion presents a massive potential for the hospitality industry. In 2019, India was the fastest growing economy among the BRICS countries.

That year, India’s travel and tourism sector contributed INR 8, 309.4 billion, amounting to 6.3% of the country’s GDP. This is forecast to rise to INR8, 913.6 billion in 2016, and reach INR18,362.2 billion (7.2% of total GDP) in a decade’s time.

The Indian hospitality industry has experienced prominent growth in recent years due to various factors, including the rising purchasing power of domestic travelers, an increase in commercial development and foreign tourist arrivals, a growing airline industry and government-led initiatives aiming to stimulate the sector.

There is a great deal of scope to expand tourism across India, and as the country improves air travel connections and relaxes visa restrictions, tourist arrivals should increase. With 1 in every 10 jobs worldwide relating to hospitality and tourism, there’s no shortage of opportunities out there for today’s graduates.

And, with an approximate 6 million new job openings across 185 countries being added every year, students of hospitality will find that the world is their oyster.

Not only can they work in hotel operations like their counterparts, they’ve got the freedom to work in hospitality management (HR, finance, marketing, real estate, PR), venue management and event planning, luxury retail and sales, luxury lifestyle services, fine dining and restaurants, health and wellbeing, private clinics, hospitals, consultancy, start-ups and more.

We often plan events locally, but the hospitality industry needs to start thinking internationally. International hotel chains are increasing their presence in the country, and it will account for around 47 per cent share in the tourism and hospitality sector of India by 2020 and 50 per cent by 2022.

THE PROOF IS IN THE PUDDING

Global hotel studies say the industry is expected to see a significant increase in the market need for up-and-coming tourism destinations that previous generations of travelers hadn’t even .

­ Economists say businesses (in any industry) just can’t afford to ignore the effects of globalization — and that having both localized management teams and a centralized oversight hub will likely be the key to sustaining rapid international expansion in the coming years.

Today the world has touched new pinnacles of education and  is progressing in every field of education. Similarly it is rising in spreading its wings in the field of special education as well.

Earlier special children were not accepted and they were kept separate from the normal children today the parents are not only accepting their children with their special needs rather they have become so aware that they wish to bring their children and include them in the mainstream in as many ways as possible.

Because of this awareness and inspiration of parents the special education segment has taken a new boom and there is a high demand for special educators. As of now whether it is a mainstream school government, school special school or Sarva Shiksha abhiyan where ever we see there is a high demand for special educators.

Graduate from a college or university with a degree in human resources or a related discipline. Research for education requirements for human resources managers at your preferred companies to determine if graduate or postgraduate education is necessary.

2. Gain relevant work experience

You can gain initial experience in the industry as a human resources assistant or associate. This experience can help you decide if you want to pursue a career in human resources and expose you to the different specialties in the field. Since there are several specialties in the industry, you can choose to be a specialist in one area of human resources, or a generalist with basic knowledge in the different functions of the industry. Whether or not you choose a specialty, building extensive experience in the industry is the best path to becoming a human resources manager.

3. Earn professional certifications

Experience and education in human resources management are necessary to meet eligibility requirements for highly sought professional certifications, such as a senior professional in human resources. These accreditations increase your marketability as a human resources manager. Research different certifications to identify one that supports your career goals. When you meet the education and experience requirements, you can apply for the certification, then study for and pass the exam.

4. Lead or manage human resources projects

While in junior positions, seek opportunities to lead different human resources management projects for your organization. Recommend and manage small projects and tasks within a larger function to grow as a human resources management professional and demonstrate your abilities to senior managers in your organization.

5. Prepare your resume

You can include your highest level of education, technical or other related certifications, and your relevant work history on a resume. Your work experience section should consist of company names, the dates you worked there and a summary of your responsibilities, contributions and achievements. An effective resume can help you obtain the human resources manager job you want.
