Company (2)

Imagine Lord Krishna running a company!!!

This thought came to me due to some different recent experiences. I've had to let go a freelancer from http://www.spasandsalonsindia.com/ work because the person wasn't meeting even half the targets. The person sms'd me today that yesterday the target wasn't met because of neck pain and that the person would've done the work today morning. I've told the person several times to share with me timely on any issues. I've also been very accommodating to this person even after several delays have happened. Due to my constraints also, I had to let go this freelancer and I suggested the person to join a large company because the person would learn good things there. This person had earlier worked for a small company which closed and they didn't even pay the person the dues. 

How much greatness do you find in companies in India in general considering the best in our world? I think that if people would work for large companies then they could learn a lot even when they would later work for other companies in India. By large, I don't mean the number of people like it might seem in India. By large, I mean the quality of most people in that company and the value being generated. 

I would think that if Lord Krishna ran a company then the required quality of people would be attracted to the company. I might also stay in Mathura in the coming months due to the air pollution here. Please bless me Lord Krishna that I would also build and grow large companies.

I was studying in England, and was impressed by how health conscious Britishers were. Whether it was hitting the gym regularly, or playing outdoor sports like football and rugby or even going for activities with their friends and families like hiking , trekking but fitness was something which was a part of their everyday life.

I was hooked onto body building as a result and started visiting the local gym in Bristol, UK.

My personality was totally transformed from a bulky 97 kgs to a super fit muscular guy weighing 76 kgs at 5'11 height.

I came back to india, and almost immediately started India's first professionally managed personal training company, The Fitness Factory (www.thefitnessfactory.co.in) and there has been no looking back since then (2005).
