After riding a successful wave of BPO, now India seems to be all set to repeat and achieve the same feat in the KPO industry also. The industry which came in to reckoning in early part of 2000 is currently witnessing exponential growth with CAGR (Cumulative Annual Growth Rate) of 21% and is expected to provide employment opportunities to about 250,000 professionals in India by 2010.

With more than 3,000,000 students graduating from about 200 Universities and 10,000 colleges in India, KPO provides an outstanding opportunity for an excellent career path. A KPO job not only provides for excellent remuneration, but also provides international business exposure and tremendous learning and development opportunities for skill development. At the moment key areas within KPO industry lies in the domain of Business Research, Legal Support, Market Research, Financial, and Investment Analysis. Although, KPO provides significant opportunities to all kinds of graduates; but offers even better opportunities to Finance graduates including MBAs, Lawyers, CFAs, M.Com, and CAs.

Graduates, pondering over possible opportunities within this sector need to introspect themselves and evaluate their key skills and personality fit. A career in KPO may attract graduates from compensation and growth point of view, but is one that is immensely challenging and requires well polished attributes for success. Even though there are a number of KPO jobs available in the industry, but still landing in the most appropriate profile and company could be a significant challenge for the applicant.

To succeed in getting a suitable job in the KPO segment, one needs to do gap analysis of the pre-requisites of job profile and self-competency. This would not only include testing ones analytical capabilities through quantitative and data interpretation techniques, but also taking psychometric tests to evaluate personality and key attributes to survive in the KPO industry. Reaching out for professional help or career consulting could be one of the ways to prepare for such techniques. Not only this, a number of KPOs evaluates job fit candidates based on case interviews either discussed in a group or one-on-one basis. Apart from that, a precisely written resume in a professional manner and cover letter briefing your key competencies significantly increases job seekers chances of selection in an interview process. A professional guidance in this regard could be more than helpful for preparing a career path in the KPO industry.

India has emerged as one of the fastest growing markets for wine on the global map. Despite the country’s vast population of over 1.1 Billion, the consumption of wine remains extremely low. The per capita consumption of wine in the country was estimated at around 9 Milliliters in 2008, indicating huge potential for growth in the coming years.

Various factors such as favorable government policies, increasing disposable income, amplified wine marketing and influence of western culture are helping to drive India’s wine consumption. According to our latest research report, -Indian Wine Industry Forecast to 2012-, wine consumption in India is expected to grow by 25-30% annually between 2009 and 2012.

We have found that various policies by the state level governments are encouraging domestic wine producers to set up their own wineries in the country, giving a boost to the domestic industry. Efforts by the Maharashtra and Karnataka governments remain far-fetched in this regard. However, such measures have raised concerns to WTO which states that India is adopting protectionist policies for its domestic wine industry meanwhile curbing growth of imports.

While local players are including affordable imported wines in their portfolios to attract new consumers, foreign firms are trying hard to expand in the market owing to high rate of tax levied. Our research indicates that the premium wine segment in the country is dominated by imported wines. This is because domestic wines are still unable to demand a high price, largely because of low brand awareness and lack of quality taste. Meanwhile, total consumption is dominated by domestically-produced cheap wine.

-Indian Wine Industry Forecast to 2012- provides extensive research and rational analysis on the wine market in India. Our research gives deep insight into India’s wine consumption in terms of domestically-produced and imported wines, price structure, sales by location, type of wine consumed and a possible regional segmentation. Our research also highlights the market trends and developments that are expected to play key role in the growth of Indian wine market over the forecast period. Besides this, the report provides thorough analysis on the wine production, wine exports and wine imports of the country.

The vending cart industry in India has a historic presence, even the format of the cart has not evolved a lot. Still the cart is made of wood with an iron frame to support the wheel and the wood. The cost of the cart being roughly around USD 10 and it makes the capital investment very low. Any one who feels to try his/her entrepreneur skill can invest in with the low capital amount and the stock. No licenses are required to operate such carts in India as they are not legal. When Government starts any action against them they disappear from the market and as soon as the caravan of the government vehicle passes by they reappear as nothing has happened ever. All it requires you to operate such cart is small amount of money (since very low capital), willingness to work and last but not least entrepreneur skill to operate your business.

The vending business in India can be seen across all the industry. One can find food, vegetables, fruits, clothes, shoes, toys, groceries and everything and anything on the cart put up for sale. Recently I have seen a cart selling very costly decorative item on the cart. The carts usually rule the street and at times you can find a specialized market for them which is set up by the local authorities (to improve the conditions of street vendors) generally known as Hatwada in Northern India. But the major industry that rules the vending industry in India is the food industry. You can find every kind of food being served on the plates of these local street food vendors, mostly unhygienic but at times hygienic too.

The scenario of vending business in India is now changing. With the efforts of the government (Ministry of Food Processing in India) and local authorities the vending business in India will see a tremendous change in coming years. With the PPP model a lot can happen which not only can improve the condition of the vending business in India as well as also be able to improve the quality being served on these street carts. Some companies Like KDCPL have already popped in for a better street vending in India.

Almost all of us who have anything to do with pleasure boats, wonder how is the boat market going to be in the future? Where is it going from here? Do pleasure boats have any future? Will the trend of owning and selling boats be a larger market or smaller due to world’s economy. What will particularly happen in Asia? Which country will be the major boat market? China, India, Indonesia perhaps? Importantly what steps should be taken today, in order to create a better market in these countries.
In Hongkong, we are realizing the obvious saturation of boating market and almost all dealers and global manufacturers of boats are pointing towards China and India. Making these 2 countries the biggest potential boating markets.
Lets talk about China first and realize that in 2005 we had big hopes for the boating business in China, we thought that the boating industry would be huge by the year 2010. Well, we are in 2010 now and China clearly has not picked up to that level of prediction, so the market is still slower than what the lot of industry experts had predicted. The reason behind that is China’s rules and regulations in pleasure boat industry. Taxation and licensing rules are very unclear in China. The rules are different for different states in China and for new boats there is a 40% tax.

Infrastructure and development speed in China however, is fantastic. But there are very few pleasure boats that are floating on the waters of China. There are definitely buyers for a high end yachts, but the maintenance is still difficult and costly. People are prepared to pay to own a luxury yacht but they are not willing to put a lot of time, over spend on maintenance, pay high taxes and go through long procedures to acquire licenses. Some marina clubs in China are now assisting in providing necessary licenses for their members, but it is not cheap. Another way the Buyers handle this issue, is by simply keeping and using their boats in Hongkong. This obviously overcrowds HK’s marinas and does not help much to boost sales into China.

A way to overcome this issue and in order to create better regulations in future, is for brokers in Hong Kong to sell more low priced and good quality used boats into China. If dealers stop hunting for high end clients and direct more marketing towards the younger and median rich clientele, It will create a lot more pleasure boats in the waters of China. The market will surely respond. Forbes list of 2010 confirms that there are 64 billionaires in China, however, a point to note that there are over 900,000 people whose net worth is more than 10 million RMB. Majority of these people are younger than 39. Even a larger and younger population exist, who are up to 5 million RMB worth.

There are definitely more number of people who are willing to spend a small amount of money initially for a boating venture. Since boating lifestyle is not very common for China, the importance should be given to bringing more boats into China, which are not very expensive and are good in quality.
This can fill the marinas, force the management to grow and also provide decent opportunities for shipyards to work.
It will also force government to look into creating manageable regulations and taxing, and if the growth of this concept is healthy, this will undoubtedly create a friendlier and hassle free market for the high end yacht buyers. In any case, China will have a large boating market, but to make it earlier than later, depends on our actions today.
Lets talk about India.
One of the biggest advantages India has is that Indian mentality and lifestyle is very adaptable to western lifestyle. India adapts and accepts ideas, culture and products from the west very easily. High number of Indian population speaks in English. Almost everyone understands English. If you are a non-Indian company, you can easily find educated work force in India. It is also easy to set up a service centre and to train workers due to India’s language capabilities and educated population.
GDP growth of India is currently 7.2%, The country is ranking no.5 in the billionaires list and India currently holds approximately 200,000 millionaires with net worth of USD 1 million to 10 million, and a larger population of people that are worth slightly less. India’s upper middle class population is expected to grow about 10 times in the next 10-15 years.
But here are the set backs! India’s politics is a chaos, corruption exists in many sectors and things become inefficient.
Major concern is that the infrastructure growth is slow. Due to corruption and differences in political groups, it is difficult to commence any kind of infrastructure. The marina which was due to be built more than 5 years ago in south of India is still not ready. Therefore the speed of development of marinas is a lot slower than China. Boat owners still do not have berthing facilities in India.
On a positive note, being the world’s largest democracy the rules and regulations are flexible and with its plus points, if the luxury boat business does reach a good start like having few working marinas and few decent boats. Indian market for boats will see faster growth than of China’s boating market.
The dealers of boats in India also need to market cheaper and quality yachts for bigger clientele. More boat chartering businesses also can boost the industry in this initial stage.
I am also sure it wont be too long until I can have hassle free cruises in the waters of India and China.
