50% lower....That's what females in Key managerial positions are paid compared to their counter parts .... These are data points from Infosys ...pioneers of IT outsourcing in India ...a long time veteran company in the field......For the rest ,most companies in this sector don't even have this data readily available for comparison.....thou they via for being called performing great on ESG metrics.... While there has been a lot of emphasis on creating and recruiting for diversity positions.....to increase the female headcount.... #genderpayinequity is some thing that's hardly considered of importance...or spoken about specially in India ... Who wants women earning equal or not god forbid more .... #narishakti Expecting better labour laws .....with this bill ...

Good insights based on data!

Shadowing and reproducing the same might work in development world , but it will lead to disaster in Product management. No two PO can be in a same situation irrespective of the project scenario they are in. One can collect the guidance and feedback and self retrospect and choose the best decision based on his personal project scenario. #productowner #productdevelopment #productmanagement

💥 Have you ever learned something in school but struggled to use it later? 💌 Case studies help bridge that gap! Here's why they're awesome: 🧓 Learning by Doing: Case studies are like practice problems, but instead of math, you use your knowledge to solve real-world challenges. This makes learning stick better. 🧕 Thinking Like a Detective: Case studies are like mysteries! You have to analyze the clues (information) to figure out what happened and how to fix it. This strengthens your problem-solving skills. 🧔 Active Participation: Case studies aren't lectures where you just listen. You get to discuss, debate, and make decisions – just like in real life! 🧚‍♂️ The Big Picture: Case studies are like puzzles with many pieces. You have to consider all the angles to understand the whole situation. This gives you a deeper understanding of the topic. 🧦 Real-World Ready: Case studies are based on real problems faced by real people. This makes the learning relevant and prepares you for what you might face in the future. By combining these elements, case studies make learning effective and engaging across many different subjects!

Paytm Vijay Shekhar Sharma Reserve Bank of India (RBI) PayPal PayPal for Business - heed this warning: the same lax practices that led to your RBI ban could pave the way for further chaos if left unchecked So, it all started three days back, i received a Blue Dart courier from Paypal (Yes, paypal not paytm, both are equally responsible but the story is yet to unfold) which had a DD from Citibank. It had my name and my house address in it. Mind you, I never shared any of that data with paypal. I logged into paypal and didn't find any transaction as i have never used paypal, but did have an account. I contacted paypal customer service and got to know there was another account using my name but a different mail id and phone number Now, obvious question - How did paypal allow anyone to create an account using my name without my consent. This is where it gets interesting! To my shock, someone had used my aadhar, my pan card AND - a paytm payment bank account which is on my name! So technically creating a bank account without my knowledge! - Not that easy, not possible. At least as far as i remember! So, Paytm has created a bank account on my name and my id/address proof without me approving it, without my photo or aadhar validation. I have no idea how that happened! Whats cherry on the cake is - i called paytm customer care and i must say its the most pathetic customer care i have even encountered. It took my 7 repeated calls to reach a customer care. Alas, when i did reach to their customer agent, though paytm was shameless secure enough to let someone open an account with my knowledge/consent, but to me they weren't ready to reveal the account details of the owner. How could an org of such large size, let such basic basic negligence! This post isn't a rant! rather an evidence of how broken and negligent these orgs are to go to any extent breaking the process and making flaws seem their way of business! Updates - I just got to know from paytm, there isn't any paytm payment bank account linked to my pan card or aadhar card. I don't understand who is to take responsibility. Clearly, now PayPal has allowed someone to create an account with my id proofs without my acknowledgement, which is what i am aware of. #paytm #financialfraud @paytmbank #paypal

SaaS for MDM is a no brainer in my opinion; scalability and flexibility are simply unequalled. Here is a great article on the subject written by Reltio's partner ZS Consulting.

My #Nomination #journey:: Hope you excercised your #VOTE, shown your responsibility towards building better #india ! My learnings by standing in elections as #MP #MemberofParliament in #Elections2024 as follows: 1. Stand as Independent or on behalf of low profile(registered but not recognized) party- your expenses are on your shoulders - Including 25K, and minimal travel due to hot summary, costed around 50-60K, mostly depending on self-made #socialmedia #instagram #facebook #youtube 2. When you look around small profile parties - they are basically caste-based motives -goals of power, authority... Religion, Caste, Community - plays major role...but we have to go with our concrete and interesting vision for the country - https://lnkd.in/dQ6YvwBw 3. Major political recognized parties are less than 5 in number, in a given election, but registered and independent parties sums upto 20-40.. wondered why? some are placeholders of expenditure for Major political parties.. General limit was 95Lakhs INR for a party, but these guys put up literally hundreds of Crores in #campaign, #distribution, granting #communityhalls, building #swimmingpools #cricketgrounds... etc, so inorder to distribute the expenses in books, these small scale politicians expenditure books would help the major parties... 4. Also, as an evil strategy of some contestants... if one thinks certain religion,caste votes are polarizing aka "Uniting", then putting up same caste/religion would derail the other ones... 5. Finally, if one get lucky in political gambling, like in uninomous places, each contestant would get lot of money in the bargain by the Major party guy with a hook or crook! Other **interesting** observations are : 6. A lot of #PAPER is utilized for #Affidavits, #nominations, #internal #office.. oh.. you will see #HEAPS of paper by the #candidate and also by the #electionOffice @ECIVEEP... literally any #ecofriendly guy will #weep, get #nausea at the #wastage, where all it could have been #digitalized... We are #breathing still #1950's !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7. When you go to #government #office, however #educated and #logical you are, you will be doomed by the #clerical #british #nature of the #office for #rules, #proforma, #fullstop #coma... its same case with #returningOfficer, they look like they dont want to change any #british #colonial #procedures... to scare the shit out of low profile #political #candidates 8. After filing #nomination, We had only 15days to #campaign in a large #MP constituency which contains atleast 4-5 #assembly #constituency. 9. Must have an 2-3 active #electionagent #support to visit the #MRO #collectorate on demand basis to visit and submit the #election #expenditures #books #tally, even for #pomphlets #distirbution #permission #digitalmedia permission... They says its all about the #seriousness of the #candidate..but I see it as a #PRORICH #policies...
