Real Estate Trends in One of Bangalore’s Top Locality—Introducing Whitefield and Its Plush Villas

Leave a comment

Bangalore’s housing sector has been on an ascent since the time the city witnessed the largest tech boom in the country. Now a hot bed of opportunities, Bangalore is the settling ground for Fortune 100 tech companies from around the world that are in search of talented resources on foreign soil. The city’s real estate industry has held hands with the IT sector in its uphill climb. The two have covered miles in this past decade, a journey that has ended with tremendous success for both.
Whitefield Real Estate, a Quaint Neighborhood
Among the many locations in Bangalore that has been highlighted for real estate reasons is Whitefield. Whitefield is not at the heart of the city as most would imagine. Instead, it is a near quite settlement in the eastern vicinity of the city. Originally a small patch that hosted the first Eurasian settlers in the 1800, the place still retains some of its West-influenced pastern. The quiet, quaint neighborhood off the city limits was suddenly flooded with attention after the tech boom in 1990s. Since then, the place has been given an infrastructural upgrade and promoted as a major suburb. Geographically, Whitefield is an annexure to the Greater Bangalore.
The Real Estate Pricing Trends in Whitefield
A decade after the IT boom first happened, the city was swarming with residents from all over India. This was a direct hint to the local developers to build more apartments and homes to house these professionals. Domestic developers collectively took up the project of urbanizing the city with sky high condos and luxury villas. The pricing of the apartments and villas in Whitefield Bangalore for sale gradually cleaved into a trend and by 2010 a distinct pattern could be traced in the cost structure. The average price per sq. ft. as recorded in the last quarter of 2010 was a little below Rs. 5000 which by 2011, same quarter surged up to above Rs.7000. The price pattern has silently, but surely crept upward since then. The zigzag motion of the graphs may indicate a fall in price subsequent to the rise, but the incidence of rise has been remarkably higher by comparison.
Luxury Calling
Stopping to take a quick look at the available residences in Whitefield, the neighborhood is peppered with plush apartments and villas. Understandably, the villas in Whitefield Bangalore are in greater demand or a greater number of seekers prefer independent homes over multi-family ones which is why the villas are far ahead in the race. And after all, for all the luxury features and architectures, why shouldn’t they?
The housing complexes of Whitefield are cities within the city. The complexes sprawl over acres of land with hundreds of neat villas fanned across the expanse.
• The grounds are laid with small patches of gardens, walking trails, water pockets, fitness centers, sports courts and what not.
• Indoor game rooms are also seen in some housing compounds.
• There are some neighborhoods that even have bars and restaurants inside.
• Indoor swimming pool is a very common feature of these neighborhoods.
• Children’s play area; multipurpose hall and library are others.
The villas are mostly duplexes with bathrooms mostly on the upper level. Ample open space in the form of terraces, backyards and balconies make the villas all the more spacious and airy. The street, the houses overlook are wide and paved on both sides for pedestrians. Wide driveways allow enough space for owners and visitors to park their cars comfortably. Trees lace the inner streets of the compounds which are a great advantage in keeping the campus cool, quiet and natural.

Bad Impacts of Demonetization As Coming Out

Leave a comment

By Deblina Dey

Had it been proved to be a fruitful decision?

When our honorable Prime Minister Narendra Modi had announced the demonetization of the Rs. 500 and Rs. 1000 notes of Indian currency, he had not the least idea about what he did. Actually, he had paid the most irreverence to his own mother-like Indian currency in the name of eradicating corruption and black money. The entire mass of India didn’t come to realize even by then, which sort of miserable & pettiest conditions they are going to face from the next day onwards.

What is Demonetization?

In a nutshell, the act of withdrawing a currency unit as a legal mode of payment is known as demonetization. But the whole procedure is not a short-term journey. The sudden revocation of the existing notes is obviously about to put all ordinary people in the fanatic embarrassment as ever since currency is one of the prior means of our sustenance.

Harassment of common man

In order to get rid of black money, this pronouncement is not proved friendly for the huge common mass of India at all. Everyone has got the clear news that what a large number of individuals has been victimized of immense sufferings and what number has embraced the ending of life till now. The problem is terribly fearing among rural areas, (India is such a country which has over 70% rural areas & remote villages of whole land), where labourers and “majdoors” have to be paid on daily basis in retail currency & they got unemployed from the very next day. People, running about to hospitals & nursing homes for urgent treatment, have failed to get proper medical care. And, surprisingly, all of our ministers, MLAs, MPs, corporate tycoons, industrialists are appreciating Modi for his fighting against black money. Is it not quite absurd?

PM’s intention is not for the interest of nation

It would be better to mention here that the present RBI governor Mr. Urjit Patel has a profound intimacy with our nation’s richest businessman, Mukesh Ambani, the chairman & MD of Reliance Industries Limited. Because Mr. Patel has worked before with this largest corporate firm of India. So, is there not a fishy affair going on behind this startling demonetization?

Destruction of Black Money: to what extent BM has been reclaimed?

According to a statement of Reserve Bank of India, over Rs.65 cr has been reclaimed from the various sources in our country. But is it the ultimate consequence of Modi’s promise of reclaiming black money? Is this the most authentic way to resist black money & fake duplicate currency? Will it be surely possible to turn all amount of black money of all millionaires of India into white?

Plunging into Content Management Solution: Taking the Deep Dive

Leave a comment

Your content management system is the foundation of your content assets. This one platform is the significant driver that pulls users towards higher engagement, better response and increased conversions. An effective content management system not only lets content writers upload or edit content, but it manages and allows you to repurpose content as and when required.  Investing into a CMS platform is a big decision that involves cost and human-resources. Once set-up, it is necessary that your team understands the platform and uses the CMS to its maximum potential.

However, this is not as easy as it sounds. Installing the right solution incorporates a number of important steps. You need to sit with your team and understand the gaps and how a CMS can fulfil them. Then comes selecting the right platform and vendor to best suit your business needs. This in itself is a long drawn process and needs due diligence from management. Once CMS and chosen and you have the infrastructure set up in your business environment, comes the toughest part: familiarizing your content team with the new system and helping them adapt to this change.

Installation is one end of the stick and the other end is implementation. Working on an altogether new platform can be tough. If the editors or content writers are unable to fathom the workflow, it can be demotivating. Thus success of a CMS platform depends on how well it was implemented and how easily and simply the content team was able to understand, adapt and use the CMS for delivering all content needs. There is no one set formula but rather, management needs to chalk out a framework that can support employees to understand the new platform and ensure that everyone is on the same page. Implementation needs to be broken down into simple manageable steps to ensure each one of team-members can make the most of the platform.

The journey from an unstructured way of authoring to a more structured manner can be tough for writers. Even before the CMS is put to use, encourage your authors to start thinking content in terms of a framework or a structure. Structured content involves a more analytical frame of mind and your team needs to start thinking differently in order to make the process easier and quicker.

To ease out the process, encourage your team to start using some of the basic functionalities of the CMS. Start with unstructured documents such as your ms word files and begin to use your CMS platform as a central repository for your documents. Carry out simple processes and track your changes to see the difference. Slowly and steadily, you will get a hang of how the system works. By and by start to convert active content into XML components and go granular.

These steps can help your content to to understand and easily take a plunge into the new Content Management Solution platform. As much as that is important, it is equally imperative to provide training. Choose a content management solution where the vendor is ready to provide prompt support as and when needed and is also able to help in on-boarding the team to better understand how the new system works. A CMS platform can take your content delivery to the next level and it’s important that your team understands and makes use of all the rich features that a CMS platform can offer.

What are the Forthcoming Challenges to the Automotive Industry?

Leave a comment

The Automotive Industry Today

 

In order for any industry to grow there must be evolution and change. This requirement holds for the automotive industry as well. As the global automotive industry grows it must continuously evolve and transform into a new avatar. According to estimates, global manufacture figures will hit “100 million light vehicles per year” by 2019. However, for automotive companies to have a share in this pie they will need to change. It is these changes that pose to be the forthcoming challenges that global automotive companies must overcome.

 

The Need for Innovation to be Accelerated

 

As mentioned, innovation will ultimately drive sales figures for the automotive industry. The automotive manufacturing companies will post larger sales figures provided they opt for improved components in the newer models. However, the catch is obvious. Ushering in changes and opting for new components naturally means that the assembly lines will also need to change and this means greater costs. This is one of the major changes facing the automotive industry, one that the industry has to face squarely in order to survive the competitive market.

 

Meeting Customers’ Demands

 

Over the years automotive manufacturing companies are forced to offer models with diverse options for customization. For the same model, customers may opt for automatic transmission or manual transmission, different types of seating capacity and hence the types of seats and with or without a sun roof. Given that there are probably around 200 different models and each of these has diverse options for customization, you are talking about “hundreds of trillions of possibilities”. But, the real challenge lies in managing all these options within the same production line.

 

Reducing Costs and Wastage

 

While there is a pressing need for offering different methods of customization, the challenge lies in staying ahead in the race by keeping the cost under check. So the need is to innovate, add attractive features and yet ensure that the price remains competitive. The other complexities thrown as additional challenges include the need to achieve the government targets in CO2 emission so that the carbon footprint is kept in check. The problem is made more acute due to the fact that the increase in costs owing to product development cannot be passed onto the customer. One of the preferred options is to cut costs by reducing wastage and innovating production techniques.

 

Globalization

 

Globalization is here to stay. However, this is another challenge since globalization means greater competition. This naturally calls for both the automobile and automotive component manufacturers to increase the efficiency of production.  This increase will hopefully be adequate to offset the decrease in the margin of profit.

 

Excess Capacity

 

Excess capacity manifests itself when the automotive manufacturer invests his resources into the production line and builds the planned number and discovers that there was no need to produce so many vehicles to begin with. This causes damage to the cash flow and wastage. Proper planning is the only answer besides leaving a scope for midcourse changes.

 

The Need to Attract the Right Talent

 

Since there is a pressing need to grow and innovate there will always be a challenge to hire the best talent, the kind of talent that will enable the automobile manufacturer to change with the times and continue to grow.

 

What the Urban Customer Wants

 

If the automotive manufacturer wants to sell his products to the urban customer he will always have to keep in mind what the customer wants. He/she wants a vehicle that is small and compact, one that is more maneuverable and that has a good mileage. This challenge will always drive a growing sales figure.
