India 2020: The Superpower

The win in T20 final has definitely boosted up the Sensex and the overall business scenario in the country. Looking at the love we Indians have towards cricket, it doesn't take any management guru to tell how closely Indian Market is attached to win and loss in cricket match.
Today as I stepped in college, my friend Naval told me that Indian team is going to pass from the road in front of our college. So we had been to the highway to watch the players. And I was shocked to see some of my professors there. I approached on of the professors and she said me, "We Management people should not be allergic to any topic. People consider sports as wastage of time. But we look at it as a source of inspiration. Employees in organisations bunk office for cricket match and the productivity gets down if you don't handle the things properly. In the future when you will be part of HR team, you will need to manage the work schedules and work culture keeping in mind passion for cricket in India".
So true are the words. Probably that's the reason many IT and BPO firms had provided work hours as per match schedules during ODI world cup. And almost each company had arranged a plasma TV in office for cricket lovers.
