PARTICIPATIVE SUPPORT

A BIG THANK YOU

Continuing our efforts for participative support in the form of increasing subscription to ISSUES & CONCERNS we had tapped our editorial board member Mr V.K.Talithaya, as well. He agreed to sponsor 20 of his friends, relatives, associates and colleagues. WE PROFUSELY THANK MR V.K.T. FOR HIS GENEROUS GESTURE. We have pleasure in sharing some of our thoughts on the man as follows. Of course he had asked us to be brief.
In Bykamapdi Industrial cluster, there is a spic & span modern industrial unit, Primacy Industries Ltd., an ISO 9001 company making perfumed candles for export market, employing a 1000 personnel. Company has done very well and has opened another unit in Gujarat. Presiding over the destiny of this unique industrial enterprise is Mr Varkady Krishnamurthy Talithaya a former MRPL/ONGC Sr. Executive. Of course, his former colleagues were surprised how a task master, calling shots, in a Navarathna unit like ONGC/MRPL, could engage himself with a smaller organisation like Primacy. But they were not aware that, the owners of the Primacy were just waiting for Mr Talithaya to retire. Retired but not tired, VKT couldn’t refuse their offer when they agreed for all his terms including freedom from restriction to his freedom of movement. That’s the value VKT holds in the market.
Having born in Dec 1944 at Manjeshwar in Kerala, young Krishnamurthy completed his degree in St. Aloysius in Mangalore and Masters from Loyola, Madras. Having begun as a management trainee in Hindustan Steel, the present SAIL, he grew in position. Worked in many blue chip companies, last being MRPL/ONGC,  in the outskirts of Mangalore, where he retired as Sr. Vice President (P & A). While in MRPL, he made the name of MRPL synonimous with service to all and sundry by reaching out to every section including infrastructure to schools etc. The lasting contribution of MRPL/ONGC under his leadership was the upgradation of Surathkal crematorium in providing the ultimate dignity to the dead and gone. Reacting to crematorium work some had quipped “Death has never been so beautiful and tranquil as in Surathkal crematorium. It made a death a pleasure”.
The same streak of reaching out made VKT readily accede to our request to become the part of our editorial board, some years ago. He continues to give his intellectual inputs in the evolution of I & C as a responsible and responsive journal of a different kind.
Intelligent, articulative and knowledgeable, its always a pleasure to meet him. We wish him good health and happiness. We take this opportunity to tell all our patrons that we do need participative support. Kindly respond positively - Editor

NB: Respecting his wishes we have not put his photograph.

Month-in-Perspective for October 2022

New Delhi : All living beings are in transit through this sorry world. The day our mandate is over we just have to vacate the space, doesn’t matter even if it’s Buckingham Palace. So, the reigning Queen of England left her mortal self to rest in her eternal space. She is no more. Elizabeth Alexander Mary, born on 21st April 1926, was anointed Queen of England on 6th Feb 1952 ended on 8th Sept 2022, uninterrupted and unquestioned for all the 70 years. Born Princess Elizabeth of York, in Mayfair, a suburb of London she was coroneted on 2nd June 1953, born to King George the VI and Queen Elizabeth. Indians by and large need not be interested in knowing more of the queen, either as a monarch or as a person of English origin. Our interest is only with reference to India in general and Jalianwala Baag in particular. 13th April 1919 was some 7 years before Queen Elizabeth was even born. It was on that day a crowd of non-violent protestors along with Baisakhi pilgrims had gathered in Jalianwal

EMPOWERING HUMAN POTENTIAL AS A CORPORATE PHILOSOPHY: THE KP RAMASWAMY SAGA Speaking on “A PHILOSOPHY WITHOUT FACE”, as eminent management expert of Yesteryears, Mr. Shanu Rangnakar had observed “Two grabbing hands are all that the private enterprise could present before the people. There is a crisis of image in this sector”. This was in early 1975, that is close to half a century ago. How has this image undergone transformation during this past, close to fifty years? It’s a question with profoundly mixed answers in this era of World Trade Organization and consequent globalization. “People must come to accept private enterprise not as a necessary evil but as an affirmative good” was a dictum attributed to late Eugene Robert Black, the third president of the World Bank. He was president during 1949 to 1962, probably the longest served president of World Bank. They were truly the transformative years of World Bank also known as International Bank of Reconstruction and Development. The a
