LETTER BY NARAYANA MURTHY-INFOSYS

PLEASE READ & THINK.......
Narayana Murthy's views on staying late in the office

To: Dear All,

It's half past 8 in the office but the lights are still on...
PCs still running, coffee machines still buzzing...
and who's at work? Most of them??? Take a closer look...
All or most specimens are ??-something male species of the human race...
Look closer... again all or most of them are bachelors ... and why are they sitting late? Working hard? No way!!!
Any guesses???
Let's ask one of them...
Here's what he says... "What's there 2 do after going home... here we get to surf, AC, phone, food, coffee.. that is why I am working late... importantly no bossssssss !!!!!!!!!!!
This is the scene in most research centers and software companies , and other off-shore offices.
Bachelors "time-passing" during late hours in the office just bcoz they say they've nothing else to do... Now what r the consequences. ... read on...
"Working"(for the record only) late hours soon becomes part of the institute or company culture .
With bosses more than eager to provide support to those "working" late in the form of taxi vouchers, food vouchers and of course good feedback,(oh, he's a hard worker... goes home only to change...!!) . They aren't helping things too... To hell with bosses who don't understand the difference between "sitting" late and "working" late!!!
Very soon, the boss start expecting all employees to put in extra working hours.
So, My dear Bachelors let me tell you, life changes when u get married and start having a family... office is no longer a priority, family is ... and that's when the problem starts ... becoz u start having commitments at home too.
For your boss, the earlier "hardworking" guy suddenly seems to become a " early leaver " even if u leave an hour after regulartime. .. after doing the same amount of work.

People leaving on time after doing their tasks for the day are labeled as work-shirkers. ..
Girls who thankfully always (its changing nowadays... though) leave on time are labeled as "not up to it". All the while, the bachelors pat their own backs and carry on "working" not realizing that they r spoiling the work culture at their own place and never realize that they wuld have to regret at one point of time.

* So what's the moral of the story?? *
* Very clear, LEAVE ON TIME !!!
* Never put in extra time " *unless really needed *"
* Don't stay back un-necessarily and spoil your company work culture which will in turn cause inconvenience to you and your colleagues.

There are hundred other things to do in the evening..
Learn music...
Learn a foreign language...
try a sport... TT, cricket..... ....
importantly Get a girl friend or gal friend, take him/her around town...

* And for heaven's sake net cafe rates have dropped to an all-time low (plus, no fire-walls) and try cooking for a change.

Take a tip from the Smirnoff ad: *"Life's calling, where are you??"*
Please pass on this message to all those colleagues And please do it before leaving time, don't stay back till midnight to forward this!!!

ITS A TYPICAL INDIAN MENTALITY THAT WORKING FOR LONG HOURS MEANS VERY HARD WORKING & 100% COMMITMENT ETC.

PEOPLE WHO REGULARLY SIT LATE IN THE OFFICE DON'T KNOW TO MANAGE THEIR TIME.

SIMPLE !!!

PEB -GROWTH POTENTIAL-INTERVIEW SUBTRACT

Today, in India, people are still not aware of this PEB  industry and still go for RCC and Conventional steel building solutions. 

Looking into the time frame of tight project schedule, PEB structures can be used for tenders to deliver quality, esthetic, structural flexibility & ultimately promote usages of steel over concrete. The other advantage of the PEB structure is that steel can reduce carbon dioxide emission which will minimize pollution. At Era, we are catering to the requirement of clients in Power sector, heavy structural steel for boiler support structure also and for infrastructure projects. PEB industry is in fragmented condition – so the company will take well crafted long- term strategies in order to attempt a consolidation of the same. 

India is the fastest growing market in the PEB construction segment at 9.5%, ahead of China at 8.5%. The Industry size of Pre-Engineered buildings in India is $0.38 billion. Currently, 33% of the Indian Construction industry is based on PEBs, whereas the remaining 67% is Conventional construction. Era BuildSys is trying to enter into all sectors for growth potential in coming projects. Overall the PEB industry in India is expected to grow rapidly at around 35% per annum (which is considered as a conservative estimate). As per the industry experts, potential growth with current capacity is 10% year-on-year basis. Hence there would be good scope for capacity expansion for the current market players in the Indian PEB Industry. 

As the future seems bright and more demand is expected. ERA BuildSys will come up with more installed capacity. It will give greater emphasis on marketing and brand promotion – through participation in industrial and Trade promotional fairs – to grab and tap more business and customer attention. In addition, bring in centralisation of processes by better implementation of centralised IT and design systems.
