Maruti Turns Inwards

Economic Times on 31/12/2018

Maruti is not selling much. Each year it has been seeing tremendous growth in Sales.

Are they sitting and doing nothing about their slowing down growth rate (around 9%). No.

They are strategising and taking all sorts of Tactical moves required to pump up Sales.

Do we all do that?

They are pushing the cars to their Stake Holders with additional discounts. - not much, max 20k.

Will it hurt their profits?

May be in the short run. But how about in the long run? Of course huge profits through the after market revenues!!

Awesome move Maruti!! Thank you for the inspiration!

Vodafone Woes

900 Crore default to government by Vodafone. 4,900 crore in losses. Massive. https://www.screener.in/company/IDEA/consolidated/#profit-loss After seeing profits continuously since 2006, for the first time the company is seeing massive losses. Jio! Is it creating profits? 2 lakh crore invested. 25 core customers. Jio has to make around Rs. 667 from each customer per month to get back its investment. That is difficult, that is why it needs more customers. Can we create a company like Jio?

Do we think in similar lines? Do we look at investments or asset building activities as a forever activity? Do we keep the goose healthy and alive always? Warren Buffett has displayed to us that true wealth is in long term investment strategies. Warren Buffett started investing in 1942. His philosophy of investing is still the same - find great companies, and stay invested forever - after 76 years and he is one of the wealthiest person in the world. Let us also think in the long run. Also learn how to be content like Warren Buffett. He drew cheap cars (for his standard of life and income). Let us all build wealth and do good to this world. Warren Buffett has regularly given to charity. He gave away more...

Build an A Team

http://www.berkshirehathaway.com/letters/1989.html "When I call off the names of our managers - the Blumkin, Friedman and Heldman families, Chuck Huggins, Stan Lipsey, and Ralph Schey - I feel the same glow that Miller Huggins must have experienced when he announced the lineup of his 1927 New York Yankees." === Warren Buffett had an amazing team of leaders in the organisations that he invested in. He continuously lauded them and attributed his success to their dedication and commitment. In our organisations are we building an A Team? Do we have dedicated and committed team members? If you are a Business Owner (or want to be one in the future) and not a Job Owner, then your first task should be to build up enough revenue per month to start looking for a A Team. Your team is what will help grow your organisation to great heights. You need to build a trusted close team of comrades who will take the organisation to great heights. It is quite difficul...
