Tenure This Month
Mr. Chetan Madani
Hello team members,
Last month we celebrated the valor of our servicemen who laid their lives in Kargil war, Operation Vijay. While we remember these brave men, we need to pause and think about what can we learn from their short but enriched lives! For me a soldier’s life, first and foremost teaches me to think for a cause that’s beyond ourselves. This requires
courage, dedication and discipline. Whenever I have asked a soldier what we can do for them, they have only one answer: “Make this country worth fighting for”.
From The Director’s Desk
So, let me urge all of you to come forward this 15th August, 2019 and take a small pledge which will make our country a better place to live and worth defending by our soldiers!
From The Business Desk
The Rice and Chessboard Story-Power of Doubling There was once a king in India who was a big chess enthusiast and had the habit of challenging wise visitors to a game of chess. One day a traveling sage was challenged by the king. The sage having played this game all his life all the time with people all over the world gladly accepted the Kings challenge. To motivate his opponent, the king offered any reward that the sage could name. The sage modestly asked just for a few grains of rice in the following manner: the king was to put a single grain of rice on the first chess square and double it on every consequent one. The
king accepted the sage’s request. Having lost the game and being a man of his word the king ordered a bag of rice to be brought to the chess board. Then he started placing rice grains according to the arrangement: 1 grain on the first square, 2 on the second, 4 on the third, 8 on the fourth and so on.
Mrs. Madhvi Bhandari
Following the exponential growth of the rice payment, the king quickly realized that he was unable to fulfill his promise because on the twentieth square the king would have had to put 1,000,000 grains of rice. On the fortieth square, the king would have had to put 1,000,000,000 grains of rice. And, finally, on the sixty-fourth square, the king would have had to put more than 18,000,000,000,000,000,000 grains of rice which is equal to about 210 billion tons and is allegedly sufficient to cover the whole territory of India with a meter-thick layer of rice. We are all like the King in some ways - we find it hard to grasp how fast functions like "doubling" makes numbers grow -Same thinking goes with the Investment in Provident Fund. We come across many instances where young executives are reluctant to invest in Provident Fund. However, they do not realize that how much investment will grow over a time. For example, if 22 years’ young executive having salary of 22000, PF contribution is Rs. 1325 per month and assumed that the salary increase @5 % per year due to skill enhancement and promotion etc. The PF contribution also increase at the same rate. Do you know how much wealth would be accumulated? You would be astonished to know that it would be staggering 70 lacs at the time of retirement and that to would be tax free. There are other benefits also like less tax on salary, availability of the loan for education, marriage and for buying the home. The investment is also most secure among all asset class. If the such investment is not made at young age, then the money may be used in non-essential things like expensive gadgets and other spending.
Guru’ Talk
Mr. Nilesh Bhatt
Understanding and Developing
Organizational Culture
The key to a successful organization is to have a
culture based on a strongly held and widely
shared set of beliefs that are supported by
strategy and structure. When an organization
has a strong culture, three things happen: we
know how to respond to any situation, believe
that the expected response is the proper one, and
we know that it will be rewarded for
demonstrating the organization's values. In
organization, leaders have a vital role in
perpetuating a strong culture;
They will share the organization's beliefs and thrive in that culture. They develop and
reinforce the organization's core values. An organization's culture defines the proper way
to behave within the organization. This culture consists of shared beliefs and values
established by leaders and then communicated and reinforced through various methods,
ultimately shaping perceptions, behaviors and understanding. Organizational culture sets
the context for everything an enterprise does. Therefore, Leaders should foster a high-
performance organizational culture.
Leaders are responsible for ensuring that culture management is a core focus of their
organization's competitive efforts. For leaders to influence culture, they need to work to
identify what the organizational culture should look like and focus more intently on an
organization's most valuable asset—its people.
A strong culture is a common denominator among the most successful companies. All
have consensus at the top regarding cultural priorities and those values focus not on
individuals but on the organization and its goals. Leaders in successful companies live
their cultures every day and they demonstrate their cultural identities to employees as
well as clients. They are clear about their values and how those values define their
organizations and determine how the organizations run.
A strong culture can bring benefits such as enhanced trust and cooperation, fewer
disagreements and more-efficient decision-making. Culture also provides an informal
control mechanism, a strong sense of identification with the organization and shared
understanding among employees about what is important. Employees whose
organizations have strongly defined cultures can also justify their behaviors at work
because those behaviors fit the culture.
Organizational culture can manifest itself in a variety of ways, including leadership
behaviors, communication styles, internally distributed messages, and corporate
celebrations.

ARIES
The New Moon in Leo on the 5th could herald the start of a
new romance, a new creative project or the birth of
something new and exciting in your life. And with the Sun
here too, as well as Mercury and Saturn, this is where the
serious effort in your life is being required at the moment. But
being serious doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyable – on the
contrary, the Sun in Leo simply wants you to get enjoyment
out of your efforts. And don’t overlook the effect of Mars, your
ruler, spending the next six months in Taurus, the area of
your chart connected with your possessions and your income.
Whatever else happens, you will not lose sight of the
importance of your financial or property situation and during
this lengthy period, this is where much of your energy is
likely to be expended.
TAURUS
As Mars moves to and fro in your sign until next February, your life is likely to be busy, but rewarding. Mars will also have the effect of making your more self-assertive, but as long as you can be left alone to get on with your own projects, you will be quite happy, although somewhat insensitive to the needs of others. But this month, the New Moon in Leo on the 5th suggests that a new start is possible where your home or family is concerned and with Saturn also in Leo for the next two years or so, the responsibility of home and family will be heavy at times. In the shorter term, however, Venus, your ruler, spends the first half of the month in Virgo, urging you to enjoy yourself to the full. Then, as Venus moves on into Libra, all workplace relationships will go well, offsetting the self-absorbing effect of Mars in your sign and making working life a little easier. Your health too, should benefit, although you may be tempted to over-indulge!
GEMINI
The emphasis stays on communication in all its forms, as
Mercury, your ruler, remains in Leo and returns to direct
motion on the 16th. The New Moon here too on the 5th
suggests that a new beginning is possible where
communication, travel, or even where your present locality is
concerned. Your social life makes take a new twist or you may
find new friends in your neighborhood. You may even decide
to start a new course of study and with Saturn in Leo too, for
the next two years or so, anything you do in these respects
will be done seriously and with responsibility, as you learn
more about yourself through your interaction and
communications with others. And in the meantime, Venus in
Virgo ensures that home and family life gives you the pleasant
refuge you need from your hectic social schedule!
CANCER
The New Moon on the 5th occurs in Leo and the sector of your
chart connected with finances and personal property,
allowing you to turn over a new leaf or make a new beginning
in this area of your life. And with Saturn here too, during the
next two years or so, this would be a very good time to put
your financial affairs in order, if they need attention. Saturn
will require you to take more financial responsibility, or to
address any issues concerning property or finance that need
to be addressed. But be extra careful when Venus moves into
Libra halfway through the month, encouraging you not only
to enjoy your home to the full, but also, perhaps, to go
overboard on redecoration or acquiring pretty possessions
for the home that you don’t really need. While Jupiter
remains in Libra, you will have the opportunity for expansion
where home life is concerned, but will need to budget
carefully to avoid over-spending.
LEO
The New Moon on the 5th is in your sign, heralding a new beginning in a personal matter, or perhaps a change of attitude on your part. With the Sun, your ruler, and Mercury and Saturn here too, you can focus on your needs and desires and formulate your plans for the future. A new you will emerge over the next two years or so while Saturn travels through Leo and although your responsibilities may be heavier, the lessons you learn as a result will stand you in good stead for the next long period of your life. And with Mars in Taurus for the next six months, you are at your most ambitious and prepared to put all your energy into achieving your objectives. Meanwhile, during the first half of the month, Venus in Virgo suggests that money is easier to come by but that you may be tempted to spend more also. An urge to acquire things you don’t really need may cause you to blow your budget if you are not careful. And finally, the Full Moon in the second half of August sees a resolution to a partnership matter.
VIRGO
With Venus in your sign until the 17th, and the Sun moving into Virgo on the 23rd, you are coming out of your quiet, reflective period and are ready and willing to interact with others again. Venus encourages your amiability and your willingness to compromise and no-one you meet can fail to be bowled over by your charm and friendly approach. The New Moon in Leo early in the month, however, brings to light a matter or a fear that you have been keeping to yourself. With Mercury, your ruler, in Leo too, you are still reluctant to discuss it with others and will be more inclined to keep your own counsel until Mercury returns to your sign in early September. It would not be surprising to know that you are suffering from a certain amount of confusion and anxiety at the moment, without really knowing why. Saturn in Taurus will have this effect and consequently, it is not a good time for you to take on new projects at the moment, rather to allow yourself time to evaluate your life to date and make long-term plans for your future without taking action.
LIBRA
A Venus, your ruler, is currently in Virgo and until it returns to your sign your time is no doubt being taken up with caring for others who are less fortunate than yourself. After the 17th, with Venus back in Libra, life will take a turn for the better and your amiability and willingness to compromise will engender much good will, ensuring a like response from others. But whilst you are ready to make concessions on a personal basis, Mars in Taurus finds you prepared to fight for what you feel is rightfully yours in the matter of shared resources or jointly owned property. And, of course, with Jupiter remaining in your sign until October, whilst this continues to be a period of major growth and development for you, you may also have an urge for more freedom. Opportunities will continue to present themselves and the key to your success will be in your ability to find the right group with whom to work. In fact, the New Moon on the 5th, in the area of your chart connected with group activity and your long-term hopes and wishes, suggests the arrival of new friends, acquaintances or new group activity in your life.
SCORPIO
The New Moon on the 5th occurs in Leo and the sector of your chart connected with your career or public image, giving you the opportunity to turn a page or make a new beginning somehow. And with Saturn here too, for a two-year period, any hard work you have put into your career should finally start to produce a reward. If you are ambitious and have prepared well, then this can be the time of your greatest success. However, it can also be a time of great responsibility in your career or public life, which may put a strain on your home life, so it will important to find a balance. And your close personal relationships will not be helped by the six-month long transit of Mars, your co-ruler, through Taurus, and the area of your chart connected with partnerships. If your partnerships are strong (and this can be either business or personal) then you will both achieve much during this time. Otherwise, an unwillingness to compromise on the part of one or both of you will create tension and antagonism.
SAGITTARIUS
At The New Moon on the 5th in Taurus falls in the sector of your chart connected with travel and further education, suggesting that new plans in either of these directions are likely. But with Saturn here, too, for the next two years or so, any long distance journeys you make during this time are likely to be undertaken more for serious reasons or obligations than for pleasure. Similarly, any further studies you undertake will be with a serious purpose in mind. But now that Mars has moved into Taurus, where it will stay for six months, work or health issues will come to the fore. Where work is concerned, you may be working very hard with little apparent appreciation for your efforts and there may be tension with work colleagues as you would prefer to work alone. And as far as health is concerned, you may get much more involved in a fitness and diet programme and put a lot of your energy into this. It would be good to work off any tension in such a way, to prevent a build-up of frustration.
CAPRICORN
The New Moon on the 5th August in Leo falls in the area of your chart connected with jointly owned property or shared resources, suggesting that a new approach to such matters is possible. And while Saturn, your ruler remains in Leo for the next two years or so, your responsibilities in this area of your life are likely to be heavier and of a more serious concern to you. Borrowing money may be difficult during this period, so the New Moon is giving you the opportunity to take a new look or find a new solution with which to work. And there is a suggestion that a resolution can be found by the end of the month, with the Full Moon occurring in Aquarius and that part of your chart connected with your personal income or property. But you will also have to contend with the energy of Mars, which spends the next six months in Taurus, making self-discipline difficult for you. Mars here makes you feel more like playing than working and encourages you to put off the things that you don’t particularly enjoy doing. It will encourage your creative side during this time, however, although children, if you have them, may give you more of a problem.
AQUARIUS
The New Moon in Leo on the 5th is in the area of your chart connected with your partner or your closest relationships, indicating that a new beginning is possible, or that you have the opportunity to start afresh with a clean page. And while Saturn, the co-ruler of your sign, spends the next two years plus in Leo, the demands and responsibilities of your closest relationships may be heavier. During this period, strong relationships will become even stronger and more serious, whereas weaker ones may founder under the strain. And for the next six months Mars, newly in Taurus, occupies the area of your chart connected with the home and family, creating a certain amount of tension, particularly if there is opposition to your ideas and plans. Your home is where your energy will be expended and Mars here makes it difficult for you to compromise. You may be thinking of moving or just of changing your home in some way and may be somewhat insensitive to the needs of others who share it with you, because you are intent on having it just the way you want it.
PISCES
The New Moon on the 5th falls in Leo and the area of your
chart connected with your workplace or your health and diet.
Saturn is also in Leo now, where it will remain for the next
two years or so. The New Moon suggests that new solutions
may be found to work issues or a health matter, while Saturn
indicates that in the longer term you may have to cope with
extra responsibility in the workplace without immediate
recognition for your efforts. Whilst the going may be tough
during this period, your perseverance will pay off in the long
term. And as far as health is concerned, Saturn gives you the
opportunity to take disciplined steps to improve your fitness
through your lifestyle and your diet and any efforts here will
also pay off eventually. And in the shorter term, Mars, in
Taurus for the next six months, sees the whole tempo of your
life increase. Whilst you may be somewhat argumentative
with Mars here, you may also put forward your beliefs
assertively, so this is a very good time to sell someone on your
ideas and an excellent time to work on anything that requires
intellectual effort.
