What it means 

•

Seven heaven or Cloud nine. Global spending on cloud services is expected to increase 23% this year as companies shift focus from supporting the tools required for remote work to large-scale digital projects and IT strategies. Companies are also shifting their approach to the cloud, embracing it as a vehicle for competitive advantage that can track performance and ultimately help drive smarter decisions.

What it means

Digital first—and second and third. Many digital trends begun during the COVID-19 pandemic—from self-installation of internet services to mobile banking and virtual medical visits—are likely to stick. The challenge for companies now is how to connect with their customers in a highly accelerated digital world.

Mountains of food stock goes waste : Another instance of government inefficiency!

Look at government inefficiency, food prices have galloped at an alarming rate over the last few months. Some blame it on the poor monsoons. Some blame it on hoarding by greedy middlemen. In my opinion, the government unknowingly itself is a massive hoarder. As per a report in a financial daily, the stock of rice and wheat in government granaries is way above the minimum requirement. Sadly, much of this excess stock is stored in the open. It either rots or feeds pests. In my view, this is a national shame. We cannot get the basics right in such a crucial area when food prices are spiraling out of control and millions of Indians still go hungry. Such stocks should be stored properly and released in small lots to stabilise prices.

Consider some statistics he has provided. The share of the national income represented by proprietor-run concerns and partnerships is 35%. The share of companies is around 15%, government around 25%, and agriculture around 25%. Combine agriculture and the self-employed in industry a...
