39 years: From an intern to general manager

More and more Chinese enterprises are choosing India as a destination for investment, as the country is becoming more open to foreign capital. In a keynote speech at the China-India Business Forum in Shanghai, made during his visit to China in May, Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi expressed his welcome towards foreign investment to his country. "We do believe that foreign direct investment is important and it will not come in the country without a globally competitive business environment. Therefore, we have rationalized a number of issues which were bothering the investors. Now India is ready for business. You must be sensing the winds of change in India." Since then, a number of Chinese entrepreneurs including Jack Ma, founder of Alibaba, as well as Wang Jianlin, chairman of Wanda Group, have all visited India to investigate the possibilities for future investment. Figures show that business visas for Chinese enterprises visiting India have increased by over 30 percent during the first nine months of 2015. Xiao Taiyuan, an entrepreneur who invested in India's smartphone market, said that the booming market in India is attracting more Chinese firms' investment. "In India, the entire market is boosting rapidly in spite of the fierce competition. The market might become stable by the year of 2017. This has brought many opportunities to Chinese companies." For his part, Jin Fuxing from Haier Group, a major Chinese domestic electrical appliance manufacturer, suggested that products from Chinese firms should aim to meet the local demands in India. He gave an example of one of their refrigerator products' successful development in the country. "Since many Indian people are vegetarians, they grab food much more frequently from refrigerating compartment, storing fruit and vegetables, than they do from freezer compartments, which store meat. In this way, we develop a new product with the two compartments' positions exchanged, which is contrary to their traditional products. Customers needn't bend down as the new product's refrigerating compartment is set above the freezer one." However, Chinese enterprises also face a variety of risks by investing, including high implicit costs, disputes between employer and employees, as well as different tax mechanisms. Li Jian, CEO of a consultancy on investment in India, said that Chinese firms could avoid those risks with the help of relevant professional facilitating agencies. "Chinese firms should recognize the value of those professional facilitating agencies, no matter whether they focus on tax, laws, labor services or public relations. We should listen to their advice instead of judging our plans simply via our previous experiences in China or other countries."

PursueAsia Now in India

Why is the world more keen and interested to invest and collaborate with India now? Because India has abundant skilled manpower! But the question that still pops up is; why do I need to go abroad? Being aware of the corporate industry and the competition in the market, the education system in India is kind of outdated for it. By the time Indians pass high school, they are clueless of their potential. Most of them do not know what their aptitude is; what their specialization is. And it is necessary to know what you are good at. The cost of studying at the most prestigious college in India is, sometimes, more than the cost of studying in a college that is among the top 200 of the world. And why are Indians not taking up the opportunity in spite of being aware of their potential? Most of the people believe that it is necessary to have somebody already living in some country abroad in order to be able to go there and study. If you have a look at Albert Einstein’s ta

Should I Take an Unpaid Internship Abroad? What's the Value?

If you've ever looked for a job and saw requirements for "minimum two years experience" for a recent graduate position, you wonder, like all of us do, "Well, if it's a job for someone who just graduated from university, how could they possibly already have two years of experience?" One of my best friends from college is the slightly maddening reason for those kinds of job descriptions. She graduated with three years of work experience and a thick portfolio in her field, and went on land to a prestigious position in a top advertising firm that normally doesn't even hire recent grads. How did she manage that, not to mention while graduating on time with a flawless GPA? There are others who make the most of the opportunity to demonstrate their potential in a field where they have no prior experience I had another friend who was working in a neuropsychology lab in New York but wanted to transition into the start-up scene. Two years later, she is the Relation

Getting the Most From Your Interns -- and Giving Back in Return

While internships may hold the key for college graduates' landing a full-time position, they are usually not top of mind for small businesses and entrepreneurs. With pressing problems ranging from managing cash flow to just overseeing day-to-day operations, new business owners may give scant thought to the idea of offering internships. Yet hiring interns for a startup can be a win-win scenario, especially if they are compensated for real work. Overall intern hiring is slated to fall 3.4 percent this year from last year, according to the National Association of Colleges and Employers. A recent survey by Internships.com showed that fall and winter and spring internships are quite common, though slightly more employers offer summer internships. Small businesses should seek out these opportunities: Your business benefits from new thinking and interns gain real work experience. Here are some ways to realize the maximum benefit: 1. Provide meaningful work. It used to be that interns came
