What is it going to take?

The richest person in the world today is Carlos Slim. He has an amassed wealth of some $70bn till date.
The population of the world today is 6.84bn.
$1 from each of the worlds people=$6.84bn
$10 from each person=$68.4bn. Which is nearly equivalent to Mr. Slim's wealth.
A product which everyone avails of.
A $100 product sold to .684bn people.
A thousand billion is a trillion. Why is Apple the only trillion dollar company? What will it take for others to reach that pinnacle?
An idea?
A set of ideas?
Ingenuity?
A platform to source ideas and a team to execute?
How hard is it?
How hard can it be?
Who will do it?
What does one require? Brains or brawn?
Target audience is the world.
Some parts are yet living in the 1700's. Market to up that to present times.
To define a future. To enforce a future. To dictate wants and dictate needs.
To create an illusion? To display a necessity? They are minds after all. All ready to be tweaked.
How creative are you? Where do you stand in this chain?
Are you satisfied as you are?
Think.

What happened exactly?

Revisiting this web-page, writing this, seems different. Let me keep this brief. There was a time when we didn't care about format, formation, punctuation, creation. Now everything revolves around presentation, perception, perfection. The latter requires time, dedication, motivation. Former was the original. Thought flowed from mind to pen/keys. The problem is time, a lack thereof.  End of the written letter was spelled.

Understanding the job

Working with a product company, one of the bigger dilemmas facing the Product team is what to build based on the backlog of product items. Listening to a Harvard lecture podcast online recently, I came across a concept which helped me clear this dilemma. It simply asks a question- what is the job that your product is hired to perform? Ideas for the product you are building can come through various routes. We're going to lose this customer if we don't incorporate this now, this is something the CEO really wants to see in the product, it's been sitting in the backlog forever etc. But a very good way to go about prioritizing what goes into the product is to find the answer to the question- what is the job that your product is hired to perform? Imagine the product to be an employee who is hired for a particular profile. Now there are certain roles and responsibilities or KPI's which will define whether this employee is fit for the post. The same logic will apply to the p...

Can't let the streak end!

Just a few days until the end of this year and the decade. Realised that there's not been one post this year. Can't let the blog post streak end can we? It's been a busy year. Started off on a good note, ringing in the new year in Thailand with the wife. Got lodged in an unending project which somewhat sums up my year! Nothing to write home about for 2019, some personal projects did start off which were a good break. Got the Octy home, something I've really wanted - which was exciting, a gift which keeps on giving! Hit up Melbourne city again- just once this year, a trip to Nagpur, to Bhopal and to the hills a few times, all necessary to keep things moving on different fronts. Resolution for the next year is to shift gears- down, not up. Who am I kidding. Look forward to an exciting 2020 with more travel, more adventure and more wins!
