Hailing a New Order
A complete management overhaul might help Birlasoft grow significantly before it goes public

This has often kept the performances of smaller companies (especially the non-listed ones who are not even courted by the investors) away from the public gaze; but in many cases even these companies have fascinating stories to be told. Especially, if the stories involve their plans to devise growth plans for themselves to carve out their own niches.

A punctured tyre is a nightmare. There has been many a tale of torture of pushing the bike for 4-5 km under an unfriendly sun or beating the heat sipping dhabha tea while waiting for the repair to be over. Having your hands greased and cracked after a jostling session with the tyre finds a special mention in one’s kitty of horrendous experiences.
