What is that you prefer? Sedan,Hatchback or LimoπŸš—πŸš•πŸš“πŸšπŸš‹πŸš—πŸš•πŸš“πŸšπŸš‹

Once upon a time, we used to go to schools on foot or typically by a bicycle. We hardly found cars around us. One in ten thousand people owned a car. The world has been changed. More than five thousand people of ten thousand own a car. What is so special about having a car with you or driving it? Of course, it gives comfort to our daily hectic life by reducing time span for traveling from a source to destination.
Has a car become our basic need? Boon or Bane? Without a debate, I would say it's a boon. A working class employee has a car, a boss has a car and now when a working father wants his daughter to get married, makes sure that his son-in-law has a car with him. He never cares whether it is a small one or bigger one. He just wanted his daughter to get benefitted by the facility.
Do you think adding comfort to our basic need or facility will result in ultimate satisfaction? Of course yes, adding special features to the car would make it an extraordinary luxurious car. We have various car models namely sedan, hatchback, and Limo.
Sedan:
The very first sedan car was designed by Louis Renault and it was named as Type A Renault Voiturette. The first car was sold to Louis's father's friend on December 24th, 1889. The specialty about this car has had a cylinder which has given 32kmph speed. Later, type B, C, D, E and many more models were introduced by adding a new feature to the preceding model.
A sedan car is a box-shaped car with a curved rare view and with four doors at four corners of the car. The storage space is the rare view and many of our belongings can be kept into them. They can seat four to five passengers comfortably and are very fuel efficient. The specialty about sedan cars is they are available at any price. For example, we have a swift desire for 8 lacs and Volkswagen Passat for 25 lacs. we also have jaguar sedan which is available for 50 lacs.
Hatchback:
The very first hatchback car designed by Chevrolet Vega, general motors in September 1970. The specialty about hatchback cars are, the seats are foldable and the cargo space can be extended. They have a flat rear view with a huge storage space. In olden days, the hatchback cars had only two doors: one at the driver's seat and other at the passenger's seat where the passenger's seat can be foldable.
At present we can differentiate the sedan and hatchback by looking at the rear view of the car. If it is a curved shape, then it is the sedan or if it has the flat rear view, then it is a hatchback. The latest hatchback cars are Renault KWID, Volkswagen Polo, Maruti Baleno and much more. These cars are known to be used by working class people as they are less expensive, economic and eco-friendly too.
Limo:
Limo or "Limousine's" inception has begun in 1902. These are the most luxurious cars. They have a separate cabin for a chauffeur. The passengers will get into the car through a door which indeed is a separate cabin. They are high-end cars and are very expensive. They have a glass window kept in between the cabin. This glass window can be kept closed to keep privacy in conversations. Well, I found such cars in olden Kishore Kumar movies.
The present most expensive limo cars are Euro mini which is Rs 96 crores, the midnight rider Rs 160 crores, American dream Rs 256 crores and many more models.
Whether it is sedan, hatchback or limo, the basic need for a person is satisfaction. If a person is satisfied with his basic requirement, he demands more and more to his prior needs. That is the reason we have so many models in the market.
 Now, it's your turn to choose the sedan, hatchback or limo? What is that you prefer?

Nitty-Gritty of the Mumbai Dabbawalas.⛻⛫⛭⛩⛮⛯⛱⛶⛷


Indian homemakers are very sophisticated about the preparation of lunch for their hard working husbands. Traditionally, preparing the lunch has become a primary domain for a woman since ages.
Based on our Indian housewives, here comes a business model called "the dabbawalas" who collects the lunch boxes from the homemakers and gives it at the husband's office. They again collect back from the office and returns the empty boxes home.
The dabbawalas are very much committed to their work. The following are the key points which made "the dabbawalas" a successful business.
Customer satisfaction: the satisfaction level of the customer is 100 percent. As Men work for hours and hours, they prefer to have homemade fresh food rather than the roadside food. They receive their lunch boxes from home within the stipulated time and hence they are the satisfied customers. The dabbawalas treat their customers as their kings.
On-Time-Delivery: People at Mumbai say that a clock might show its time wrong, but a dabbawala cannot be late. There are more than 16,000 dabbawalas where each one of them carries 40 boxes which weigh 65 to 70kgs over their head. If a train is late, they try to send the lunch boxes through other means of transportation. Though there are hurdles, the lunch boxes will reach up to the destinations on time.
Excellent Supply chain: Though the technology has emerged, the dabbawalas are very successful without it. The logistics and the supply chain of the dabbawala network are maintained excellently. The dabbawalas maintain a coding system where they give codes to the areas and exchange the lunch boxes. The lunch boxes will get exchanged with one and other at many places and finally, it will reach the destination.
The dress code: The dabbawalas wear a white color kurta and a dhoti with a cap over the head. The cap for them is compulsory as it defines their identity. Their dressing style is very unique and a dabbawala can be spotted very easily.
Flexible delivery charges: The dabbawalas charge rupees 100 every month for delivering the lunch box to the customers. The delivery charge is very low where an average working class people can afford it every month.
Acute visibility of supply chain: The beauty of the dabbawala-based system is that all of the dabbawalas understand exactly what is happening. If certain deadlines and hand-offs are missed, people don't eat. It's as simple as that. The dabbawalas will make sure everyone within their chain understands what he or she needs to do, where they need to be and what needs to happen for the chain to be successful.
Keep the delivery system simple: One of the key lessons any organization can learn from the dabbawalas is the simplicity with which this system works. The dabbawalas are intimately aware of what their customers value (food delivered on time, every day). And, just as importantly, they don't try to do anything other than that. They don't overcomplicate things. They don't add extraneous value. They simply understand what their customers want, and they focus 100 percent of their time and energy on meeting that need.


Hence, these are few key points which determine about the Mumbai dabbawalas successful business.

VOODOO: WHAT DO THEY REALLY DO?π“€–π“€Šπ“€Žπ“€‡π“‰‰π“Š†π“Š‡π“ŠŒπ“ŠŒπ“ŠŠπ“Šˆπ“Š‰π“‰Ύπ“‰£π“‰’π“‰…π“ˆ¨π“ˆΌπ“‰”

As we know in the present era we have a treatment for every ailment. The pharma world has opened its doors to every corner of the world to reach people to every extent. In light of this pharmacy, we have got a market named voodoo which is located in "Todo, west Africa". This is one of the most peculiar markets to be found in the world.

About Voodoo:

Well, do you have any sort of problems regarding relationships? Or are you suffering from financial woes? or are you possessed by evil spirits? Or do you have any disease which has no treatment? Don't you people worry; we are here to heal you for all kinds of problems says the tribe at voodoo.
Voodoo market is known to be a fetish market of akodesswwa which is located in the capital city of lome. This market basically sells fetish of various animals such as dog's heads, monkey's skull, chimpanzees paws, elephant feet, gorilla skulls, cobras skin and many more products.
The fetish of every animal has got a medicinal value and has the capability to cure the diseases which cannot be cured by western, ayurvedic and allopathy.
Monkey's skull: it is used to improve the memory power.
Elephant's leg: it is used to cure elephantiasis and also strengthens the bones
Chimpanzee: it is used to increase the athletic performance
Lion: it is kept as a totem to protect houses.
Horse: legs and heart of a horse are used for improving the strength levels for an athlete
Chameleon: it improves the business of every individual
Cobra skin: it is used to heal the skin disorders.
Hawk: if someone is possessed by a spirit, the priests perform prayers and offerings to the god and then the spirit is transferred from the human body to the hawk, and the hawk is set free to fly away. This ritual is believed and followed even today.

Procedure for the medication:


The corpse of animals is dried and stored in the market.
These animal body parts are mixed up with herbs and are burnt together to make a medicine
The obtained powder is given to the patient who is suffering from various chronic, autoimmune, allergic, arthritis, celiac, cancer, scleroderma, heart, rheumatic autoimmune and liver diseases.
Not only the diseases but also they cure the problems regarding relationships, business and finances too.

How does Voodoo make money?

There is no particular price fixed for a fetish to buy or bargain. The priests at voodoo will toss some shells and communicate with god on how much they think you should pay. The process is repeated until you can reach an agreed price.
As a management student, I feel that the world has a plethora of business opportunities. Given a chance, we need to grab the opportunity. The business plan of voodoo market is unique and excellent. This kind of medication and ailment is available only in west Africa. People who cannot afford the traditional medication will adopt this kind of medication and treat the most powerful diseases with the dead animal's body parts is really an innovative business plan.
