Gen Next!!

What do you used to do before the invent of irct.co.in, redbus.in, makemytrip.com, bookmyshow.com, eBay. in or several other portals which bring all the stakeholders at one platform and make the services centralized? Well most of used to pay a hefty sum to the brokers or we used to avail the services by facing lot of hassles. Before the birth of these portals it used to be very difficult for us to know about all the information about all the available options. Well nobody ever thought that this information would be just a click away. Instead of running from shop to shop to know about the availability of such services these portals give you the overall picture and provide us lot of options to choose from.

Centralization of things be it offline or online brings better price discovery as well as efficiency in to the system, but the ever increasing e-savvy population demands for online services. As the internet penetration is increasing at the rapid pace the need for such services which are online in nature is increasing in the direct proportion. The common link between all the above mentioned revolutionary ideas is the nature of these services i.e. online.

One more such revolutionary idea is http://www.irtex.in/ , it is in area of logistics sector, this idea claims to bring efficiency into the system. It is a brainchild of 3 young highly energetic and ambitious entrepreneurs from IIT Bombay. The idea is to bring all the stakeholders of the road freight industry such as shippers, booking agents, transport houses and the companies on to a common platform. Irtex is India’s first organized freight booking service and they want to become the biggest aggregator of truck or freight in the county.

All these services are bridging the gap between the next gen population of the country & the available services and are the next wave of growth in India. Next Gen prefers to bring e tickets to train, planes or even cinema halls.

2 Lectures - 2 Heroes

This blog is dedicated to the junta of g1/g2(Great-Great Lakes inst).I have been thinking from long-2 time to start writing & finally i believe 2 heroes of my class have motivated me to write something - i believe some thing interesting.

This write up is based on OB & MR class.

In both the classes 1 thing is common i.e 1:n rule.

Let me explain 1:n rule by first taking MR class - In this class n=64 & therefore rule becomes 1:64, where this 1 guy rules the show & goes on & on in the circle looking for the corner & this event goes on for entire lecture. He has generally n questions & answer for all n questions, so he answers his own questions :D. He has 1 word answers for 250 word limit questions.In this class we learn less about the subject & learn more about doubt creation skills & irrelevant question asking skills.

Now let me talk about OB class, where n=129, yes this time n is large but the 1 of equation 1:n is unrelenting & believes in never give up philosophy. Here the game is not about finding the corner but here it is ping-pong game b/w this guy & prof so they knock the ball alternatively with exponential increase in vigour & the game stops only when our prof realises that this unrelenting opponent will never stop & with full frustration prof grabs the ball & throws the ball again for next knock & game continues. But when prof realises that it is never ending game he belts this guy left - right & center & changes the topic .... Dumb Looking - Smart Man.. OK ;)

Disclaimer - all the characters in my writeup are not fictitious & this is a damn real story.

As this my first blog so all type of feed backs are welcome.

Cheers,
