Don't grapple with your dreams!!! Fulfill them...

Right from day of birth our parents and many more relatives envisage us to be a doctor, engineer and scientist which are actually contrary to our opinions .Ironically, we try to meet their expectations and ignore our actual aim. Thereafter begins conflicts, which develops dissatisfaction and bewilders us. We somehow manage to compromise our visions but suddenly one fine morning we come across success stories of an IITian or an IIMiet in a business magazine or local dailies , we cannot resist our self saying that even “I wanted to work on same idea” or “Oh! Man that guy has stolen my idea”….. I think its well said “Time n Tide waits for none”.

However , few of us even hear the thumps of our dreams, but amidst many confusions & lack of proper guidance we either keep them in abeyance or bury them deep inside graveyard of thoughts .Do you think that with such an ephemeral undertakes/attempts any body can catch hold their dreams? NO a big NO-O-O-O … Might be a perfect blend of terrific Idea and your efforts can rejuvenate your dream. However you still lack something …Hmnn…???.. yeah your guess is right ….its the Capital. Just a thought of arranging funds for your venture opens door to plethora of queries like” Who will help me? Should I approach bank? Will they accept my idea? Or why don’t I ask my best buddy or paa to lend me “……. But you don’t worry, just make up your business plan and present it to US .. yeah to Us We at SBI will hear you, assist you , walk with you to achieve those milestones & inch stones which became difficult for you …So why to worry, kindle up your faith and join hands with us.

3G...the generation is here!!!

After being postponed several times in the last two years, the long-awaited auction process for 3G services is well on its way and mobile subscribers in India can soon expect to see a revolutionary change in the way telecom services will be available to them.

3G is all about speed, speed, and more speed! 3G represents a paradigm shift from the voice-centric world of the previous generations of wireless networks to the multimedia-centric world of 3G. Simply put, it will shift the focus from the ears to the eyes. It is the next generation of wireless network technology that provides high speed bandwidth (high data transfer rates) to hand held mobile devices. The high data transfer rates will allow 3G networks to offer multimedia services combining voice and data. The characteristics of 3G services will ensure ‘always on’ Internet download speeds of up to 2Mbps. Have a look!!!

Suddenly, the hours traveling on the road or rail or waiting at airports or in between meetings will become productive and entertaining for all of us.

If you want to join the party, make sure that you buy a 3G compatible mobile phone, the next time you are in the market to replace your faithful but soon to be obsolete 2G device.

Banking on talent!!!

“Employer of choice” is not a branding that the country's largest bank is used to. But it finally happened, when State Bank of India, SBI figured in the list of the top 10 employee-friendly Indian organizations in a Business Today survey. The credit for this shift goes to the endeavors of top management to motivate SBIian’s. They have deployed carefully-crafted training programs like Parivartan (a 100-day program to increase the communication skills of employees) and 'Citizen SBI' -- mammoth HR exercises that covered each of the 200,000 employees. The bank has also just set up a Strategic Training Unit (STU) and tied up with the Indian School of Business to prepare a course module for chief managers and deputy general managers. The idea now is to have customized courses for each level of employees. Another initiative of the STU is setting up of an elaborate e-learning platform which offers 130 courses on its intranet network at present. Now you must be thinking, “what are the merits of these large exercises taken by bank for its customer??” to which I would like to comment that visit your nearest SBI branch & feel the difference.

The Need???

To lead the banking behemoth on a path of sustainable growth.

Eligibility criteria for such officials include postgraduates in economics, statistics or chartered financial analysts, chartered accountants and cost accountants.

According to sources, almost 60% of the recruits have passed out from management schools.
While basic pay scale for the probationary officers start at Rs 10,000, the new batch of officers will have Rs 13,820 as basic salary.
