NSM THEME
Know to Grow - NSM theme
How about “Know to Grow”? It can have multiple meanings:
- Know how to grow – individual growth that further leads to organizational growth
- In order to grow, you have to know – to have an informed approach to work and eventual growth
- From knowledge to growth – knowledge that leads to growth
In short, it deals with both education and expansion.
NSM 2010 THEME
In 2009 we came together and were able to sustain during the rough phase of economic recession. The funda of ‘Power of One’ proved right because we fought together against all the evils of recession and whenever we felt low we kept saying……
“Aal Izz Well…”
or
“We Shall Overcome”
I know it sounds filmy but we can still think of it.
Thanks,
Amit

How about 'Think Big, Sell Solutions!'

How often have we complained about our surroundings and the problems we face in our daily life? I know that I do, quite often whether it is about the traffic or power cuts or…the list seems endless. Sometimes though, we get a reality check and realize that our lives are truly abundant.
January 26 of this year was one such opportunity. A chance conversation with a friend revealed that she has been invited to attend the Rebublic Day parade at a school in a village called Surana, 30 kilometers from Jaipur. It seemed like a chance to not just visit this school but also visit a village, which I confess was a first for me.
Accordingly, we had set off around 7:30 am from Gurgaon. Unfortunately, the fog and terrible traffic jams meant we reached around noon. The function was over but the children were still hanging about the school. We were immediately surrounded by hordes of children, the teachers, some parents, and even the village goats. With a visible sense of pride, they took us to see their classrooms (a grand total of nine small rooms) and their computer centre. My friend, who runs an NGO, had taken an old PC and that was installed in the centre and some of the children proceeded to sit around just staring at it, while the rest followed us around. Getting photographed was pretty popular and so was being able to see their image on the camera screen.
While the rooms were small and most of them sit on the floor and study struggling with the limited resources of their life, their ambitions are unlimited. “Kuch achcha karna hai,” and “Adhayapak banna hai bade hoke” were the two most popular refrains.
Suddenly, I was really glad that I work for a company that published textbooks and realized (yet again) how petty some of our so-called troubles are in reality.

Travels with a donkey
One of the things I love about my job is the variety of experiences it offers me. Although I grumble about the amount I have to travel, each trip is an experience, and hopefully moves our agenda forward. My wife and son have reconciled themselves to my occasional presence. The dogs still look a bit confused.
Last week I travelled through rural UP, along with Khozem and Joanne from our ELT practice in New York. We were examining ways of delivering low cost education to rural children. I have some fantastic pictures which I will try posting later.
This week I was in Phoenix, Arizona for a meeting of Will Ethridge's senior executives. It is truly astonishing how rapidly the company is changing. And Marjorie made a telling point about what value means in our business - it is delivered by helping each student make progress.
Today I am in London, discussing priorities for our Edexcel business.
And next week I will be meeting international schools in Bombay, as well as meeting a major retail chain of book stores.
I think I really am blessed to have a job which offers such a range of business opportunities, and the chance to perhaps make a difference.
And with all of this travel going on, I missed most of the World Book Fair, although I did keep track of our progress by email with Nikhil giving me updates and Madhur sending me pictures. What did you all think of the book fair? Any views you might want to share?
A box of chocolates for the best new post over the next two weeks.

Breaking the Silence
I'm sorry, I have been off the air for a long while. I thought I would do a summary of 2009, but then figured maybe this isn't the place to do it. However, I would like to say thank you to every one of you for your efforts - I think we have set ourselves up for sustained, long term growth. And from whatever competitive information I can get, I think we continue to overtake the venerable names in Indian publishing.
In 2009, I travelled like crazy, I think Rajni counted about 40 trips in the year. Each trip has its own little stories, but I thought I'd share one from my recent trip to Calcutta: on the coach from the aircraft to the terminal, a young man got up and gave me his seat! I now realise that I have achieved that milestone of looking like a senior citizen. Perhaps I should act more like one too!
