What To Remember From 2016?
Business Sphere|January 15, 2017

In the box of 365 or 366 days,so many things come and go, but only the most saddening or the most gladdening things remain engraved in our memory. Like every year, on the last day of the year, we are all going to sit, some in seclusion, some in group, and reminisce what we all actually did. All the news channels would run special prime time program named “Farewell 2016” and make you count all the special events of the year. Let’s feel proud once again by remembering the heroes of this year.

What To Remember From 2016?

Economy:

As a nation, this was one of the historical years for sure. Something so big happened in the last year that has changed every stratum of the country. From the social, political, and economic end, our country has catapulted into a new force. Needless to say, I am mentioning the master stroke of Mr. Prime Minister that is named “Demonetization”. This one blow from him have changed everything overnight and restored our faith into the government once again. On 8th November, after 5 P.M., Narendra Modi announced that Rs.500 and 1000 notes issued by the RBI would stop functioning after midnight. This government is on a mission to extract the black money from people which are the root cause of corruption in our country. Well, you all know how tsunamic or havoc the effects were. The whole country became digital overnight. Somewhere in the middle of the year, he announced to open zero balance account and also notified gently to submit the taxes in a legitimate way. But we all thought that this is another passing phase and he would forget all these but alas he remembered. Various reviews of this action kept our discussions strong. The biggest blow may have been to the local political parties because these rely heavily on the black money to run their goons and rule. Those people who have kept their money savings in Swiss Bank are truly screwed and the show is quite an entertaining one to watch. It’s like watching Ravan-Vadh in a satirical way. 

And from a common man’s perspective, things have changed for betterment. I don’t know if the price of real estate is going to dip or not, but I am just proud to say that I belong to a developed nation.

SK SYSTEMS PVT. LTD. - The roadmap to success is only and only sheer toil

The top management of any successful corporation makes a big difference to the overall efficiency, work-life balance of the employees, and to the working capacity of the units. If the head honchos are positive and charged up, the day, month, and year, of the concerned company is surely made. It will really help in rolling in higher profits, bigger and better bottom-line figures, and up the ante of the morale of the entire team. Such kind of positivity seems to stem from the strong and surging vibe given by Mr. Ajay Bhargava, Managing Director and Mr. Sanjay K. Gupta, Mrs. Shobha Bhargava & Mr. Adesh Gupta, all Directors of SK Systems Pvt. Ltd.
