A Voyage as a “Sarkari Babu” Posted by Rajdip Biswas ,Friday, October 16, 2009 at 4:33 AM,

Few days back I encountered an article which surely comes as bliss for all ‘Sarkari Babus’....what was that article....well in this turmoil of recession it’s not hard to guess, but if u people still can’t fathom my hint I am talking about pay revision and stable performance of top notch Indian PSU’s. May be this is one profound reason why after this PSU groom became hit in every national matrimonial till now. Top PSU’s became successful to portrait an impeccable image of theirs that no one can deny. The shimmering peak of iceberg floating like a mammoth in Indian market even at the time of recession catches appreciation. Being a naive in marketing and finance I can’t fathom how PSU could hold their grip at today’s vacillating and volatile market....because from my point of view, being a PSU executive and working for 14 month now, I see some different picture which is not at all pleasant. May be working at core sector along with good debt:equity ratio make these PSU’s sail their boat this time over economic breakdown but if they don’t bring innovation in their entire process, change the mindset of their employee and importantly implement all their policies from the grass root level then there is no doubt that tomorrow they will become history as Global Motors. Here people are so much lost in flattering their boss to climb those stairs of hierarchy that they forget their basic duty. Mismanagement of Human Intellect along with no appreciation of talent from core is one more reason of concern. And all this gets magnified when people at the top of hierarchy become so much stubborn that they don’t even want to hear the word ‘CHANGE’. Globalization and competition are no threat for them, they seems complaisant in their nest and works with the same old pace. Although PSU’s are bringing change in their policies but it’s too slow in adopting and there’s always a threat that before ripening the fruit of change these companies can wipe out from their very existence. Well I just hope for the best as no one can deny this fact that these PSU’s prove themselves in past and played an important role in our countries growth. I just wish them to continue their voyage and move parallel with the growth of our country.
