Showcasing his public speaking skills, Anurag Batra, an entrepreneur, Internet evangelist and media expert, struck an instant chord with youngsters at StartAP Fest – a networking event which concluded in Visakhapatnam on Sunday.
He made use of 25 minutes allotted to him for his speech.
He explained to the audience the importance of passion, hard work and marketing skills to achieve success in business.
Mr. Batra received huge applause when he beamed the video on the famed ‘one pound fish’ marketing strategy adopted by Mohammad Shahid Nazir, a recording artist, in London by selling his stock through catchy song and dance approach.
‘Vadde no more
a TD man’
Being a member of a political party and criticising its own policies might give a wrong impression to the public.
Even scribes could get the wrong idea that the person launching a diatribe is no longer member of that party. It happened unerringly in same way.
Former minister Vadde Sobhanadreeswara Rao turned up to address a roundtable meet organised in the city on Sunday.
One of the organisers, while introducing Mr. Rao, went overboard and said, “He (Mr. Rao) is no longer member of the Telugu Desam Party.” Taken aback with this, Mr. Rao without delay said, “No No, I am still member of the Telugu Desam Party.”
And, another organise corrected saying “Yes, he is Telugu Desam Party leader. But, not active.”
‘Taking on the dragon’
The Union Budget 2016-17 has expectedly evoked a balanced reaction from the industrial lobbies here but the impact of the global domination of Chinese manufacturing sector on Indian economy was a matter of serious concern.
Though the budget was described as ‘overall positive’, the fact that adequate steps have not been taken to enable the Indian companies to ward off competition from their Chinese competitors irked the Chief Executive Officers of some local medium enterprises.
These companies export their products to the United States and European markets which are also invaded by ‘Brand China’.
The policymakers should have paid due attention to the strategy that would help Indian manufacturers in curbing the onslaught of Chinese, the speakers opined in a slew of post-budget analysis sessions. They duly acknowledged the truth, which is that the pulls and pressures in India are too many to catch up with the world’s largest trading power.
