Well now that I have blasted BT for coming out with top ten so frequently – here is my top ten
1. Google – Virtual monopoly over information in the Information Age - what more you can ask for (Read Mala’s article in BW on Google)
2. Blogging – It’s the future of Journalism, Individual empowerment, Advertising, Media, Creativity, Community, Publishing and God knows what. It’s the next big thing after Email coming from the world of Internet. The best thing about blogging is 95% perfection is enough and you donot have to waste 10 times the effort on the last 5%. It cost almost nothing and it spreads faster than fire. Luckily there is not much policing of content and no entry barrier for talented writers. Maybe a better search engine is required to search out diamonds from this coal mine – google listening??
3. VOIP – As I have discussed already in my previous blog IP technology is a very efficient technology that can make current understanding of telecom economics senseless.
4. Reliance Infocomm – I am again and again restating about the potential of this company. As Mr. Sunil Mittal said – Telecom is like Pacman who keep on growing eating other businesses. Just watch out how many businesses this Reliance Pacman gobbles – Telephony, Broadband, Cable TV, Gaming, Banking………
5. Air Travel for the common man – It’s the revolution we are experiencing and it will continue for while. We have not moved to smaller cities yet. Wait for airport modernization & more aggressive players.
6. Talk Unlimited – Again I am repeating myself but mark my word it’s the next big thing in Telecom in India. And unlike US in India we have Caller Party Pays (CPP) regime that will further fuel the fire created by talk unlimited.
7. Retail – Retail sector is waiting for the policy to signal the take off. It will happen sooner than later. Wal-Mart and others would be worth watching. Equally interesting will be watching Mukesh Ambani’s petroleum retail rollout and the bouquet of products its retail chain would be offering.
8. Multiplexes – The fever has not spread to smaller cities yet. Rational entertainment tax policy of the state government can lead the change. (In Maharashtra State government exempted multiplexes from entertainment taxes for first few years and that fuel the growth). A good business if you want to retire to a smaller city.
9. Knowledge city http://neerajgutgutia.blogspot.com/2004/05/next-pill-of-viagra.html
10. Medical Tourism– In strategy classes we were taught that a company should either position itself as low cost supplier or differentiated product supplier. A person who tries to do both gets caught in the middle & falls between the two tools. Strategy classes warn against trying both positioning. Well…Medical Tourism is another field of outsourcing where India can position itself not only as Low cost supplier but also as differentiated product supplier.
