Why is self storage not a thing in Asian countries? Population density is much higher than in the US.

Always baffled when I visit Europe I see the most insane offices in the centers of large cities (super expensive real estate) completely empty Have to assume people work from home on many/most days How do companies justify paying for this?

@fpodoo , founder of @Odoo , compares Indian talent to that in the US/Europe. According to Fabian, the top 5% of Indian talent > the top 5% of US/Europe talent.

I figured out how to save you $50,000 in salaries per year, per hire. Here's how. After working with both sides of the big corporate/fast start-up divide, I noticed a common struggle — the lack of quality research and content. So, in 2021, I started Magma to bridge that gap.

Everyone’s outsourcing, but when I talk to entrepreneurs about their hires… I’m a little appalled. 💀 They think they’re saving costs. But actually, you’re just being ROBBED. For the same price that you pay, you can get someone actually skilled. I got so fed up that I just…

@arindam___paul Baffles me that a country, especially as divisive, as India continues to have MRP. When I lived in London, I remember a bag of chips cost more in well-to-do neighbourhoods and vice versa. Don’t know why the less fortunate continue to pay the same rates as the richest in India

In 2018, India’s literacy rates touched 75%. That’s a 5% increase since 2011. Particularly impressive has been the rise in female literacy, which has grown by 14.4% in the last 10 years. What are some of the factors that are going to continue this upward trend?

Some thoughts about India changing its name to Bharat: A few hours ago, I was on a call with a client. He asked me where I was based. When I casually said ‘Bombay,’ he was confused. Why? Because the world knows it as Mumbai. Now imagine this tiny misunderstanding amplified to

200 million Indians speak English fluently, with the number likely to quadruple over the next decade. Research suggests English fluency translates to 30-35% higher salaries. Indian workers are poised to capitalise on companies looking to hire English-proficient remote talent.

The death of Queen Elizabeth II marks a sad day for the UK. But citizens of its former colonies have mixed feelings about a ruler who never apologised for past excesses of her realm. However, mourning the queen’s passing isn’t the same as absolving British royalty of guilt.

More than 1.8 million students sat for the NEET 2022 exams to get into one of 91,000 plus MBBS seats. The long preparation required means even those who didn’t get through had acquired solid real-world skills they can bring to the workforce. Successful careers await most of them!

@tomhuntio Of course. There’s a reason why all the large companies have set up back offices in India as opposed to the Philippines. Philippines is better for customer service/VA but I’d argue India is better for every other role. Happy to send you resumes for any role (no up front cost!)

Genuinely surprised none of the “global talent” agencies that seem big on here aren’t looking at Indian talent. All the large companies like McK and Deloitte do most of their back office here. Any reason?

In India, English is the second-most widely spoken language (after Hindi). But it’s not uniform across the country. There is a correlation between literacy levels and English speaking. The South Indian state of Kerala, for example, has a 96.2% literacy rate. It’s also one of
