Freezing my eggs? No! I’d rather have work-life balance

Freezing my eggs? No! I’d rather have work-life balance

Technology giants Apple and Facebook, offering up to $20,000 to their women employees to freeze their eggs, have raised the bar for what organisations will do to promote diversity and retain top talent. Is freezing eggs really a good deal for women employees or their employers? In the Indian context, will this perk/benefit encourage female employees to opt for career over maternity? Before introducing this ‘perk’ in India, employers will have to consider that Indian women are culturally and mentally attuned to give priority on planning a family and letting their career take a back seat.
Shruti Sanyal, 28, a producer in a leading media company feels this concept will not click with a lot of Indian women, simply because of our culture. According to her, after marriage, pregnancy is the most important event in a woman’s life, working or non-working. “Taking a chance with nature’s course does not seem to be a good idea, even if it enables better career prospects, with the employer bearing the cost.”
It is a universal fact that there has been conflict between a woman’s biological clock and career. The time most women employees would like to spend in establishing/rising in their careers, they spend in planning their pregnancy.
According to Aradhana Mozumdar, working in the internet/dot com space, this is personal and she would not like to divulge such personal information to her employer. “By accepting this perk/benefit, one allows the employer to determine/dictate their fertility plans.”
Is this really required or will it help? I don’t think so, says Preeti Sharma, 32, working as content manager in a leading IT company. The biggest worry is that this procedure doesn’t ensure if one will be able to have a baby once they have reached the desired career level. So, why take a risk?
Yukti Bansal, 35, working as technical lead in an ITeS company, is of the opinion that employers should focus on providing better work-life balance and a friendly work environment and not on offering benefits such as freezing eggs. Providing longer maternity leave, bringing back working mothers post pregnancy, opening crèches in offices and helping to chart a career growth plan, post pregnancy, will be admirable and much appreciated by the women employees.
The stage of a woman’s career is a major deciding factor for the employee while accepting or rejecting this benefit. Bhawna Mongia, 30, a research analyst said, “If I am at that stage of my career (mid-senior position), I might want to opt for this benefit. This allows me to focus on my career and grow at the same time when I am assured my fertility is safely guarded for future.”
In view of Deepika Pillai, head-HR, Xavient Information Systems, from a HR point of view especially in the Indian context, it doesn’t seem to be a good idea. “In a country like ours, there will be not many takers for such a policy even if we introduce it across levels. I, myself, would not like to go for it. In India, family planning means a great deal for women as well as their families,” she added. Indian women employees will be more content with policies providing extended maternity, flexible working hours and crèches at workplaces.
Globally, many companies are offering fertility benefits to employees, which include IVF, fertility treatment and even adoption cost. But freezing eggs is rare and not foolproof. It seems unlikely that this concept will catch up in India and find many takers who would want to delay pregnancy for non-medical reasons like career.

8 tips to make effective search on job portals

8 tips to make effective search on job portals

Job portals are a great tool for searching jobs, given one knows how to effectively leverage the medium. With changing times the look, feel and options on these portals have undergone a sea change to suit the needs and requirements of Gen Y…
Job portals have time and again been ranked as the preferred medium for job search by candidates across experience levels and functions. Nearly 62 per cent of candidates in the 0-2 and 2-5 years category prefer using job portals for a job search, revealed a study by TimesJobs.com. Consequently, to meet the changing aspirations of this category of workforce, most job portals have re-invented themselves.
It is important than ever before to understand the medium thoroughly and use it for an effective search, to increase chances of getting the desired job.
Try these tips
Posting resumes, having a good cover letter and searching for desired job/role are some of the basics. Here are some more suggestions when you look for jobs on the job portals:

• Complete all relevant information columns (mandatory and optional) on the job portals
• Review and check the job portal frequently as new jobs might get added to the listings
• Refresh the resume once every 10 days to increase chances of getting noticed by employers. Make small modifications so the resume gets reposted automatically. This is beneficial since most employers search resumes by date/day posted
• Ensure that your resume is visible to everyone
• Use search filters – basis experience, salary, function and location for quick and relevant job searches
• Many portals also allow you to search by skill type, which helps you post an application to the most suited role

• Take advantage of various features on the portal, including job agents, job alerts, resume services that will help strengthen your profile
• Good job portals also provide information on top hiring companies. A job seeker can identify companies and then search on their website for career opportunities

While these are essential steps for effective job search on recruitment portals, no effective job search can begin without a focused approach. Besides, a good presence on social platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter and Facebook or even a personal blog are very important for one’s career in today’s work world. Make sure you manage your social presence vigilantly and provide a link to your social professional profiles in your resume.

6 strategies to address ‘expected salary’ interview question

6 strategies to address ‘expected salary’ interview question

One of the most difficult questions that candidates face is responding to employer’s question on the expected salary. Should the candidate outrightly put out a salary figure or should there be a defined strategy behind addressing this question? Udit Mittal, founder, MD, Unison International Consulting enlightens.One of the mistakes that Aparna Roy (name changed)committed during her job interview was giving away her expected salary range too early in the interview process, without understanding the nitty-gritty of what the job actually entails.
She had aligned her salary expectations with the broad job description that the employer had provided. But she didn’t wait to figure out the actual details of what was expected of her for the said job role, which eventually turned out to be much more than what was mentioned in the job description.
In the end, though it was just the right profile for Aparna, quoting the wrong salary expectation at the early stages of the interview, made it tough for her to successfully negotiate her salary.
‘What is your salary expectation?’ This is one of the classic questions asked by employers to candidates during interview process. Being a critical question that directly impacts the salary negotiation, it is important for candidates to build sound strategy to answer it.
In a recent interaction, Udit Mittal, founder, MD, Unison International Consulting, a recruitment company, highlighted few strategies which candidates can implement to address this question in an effective way:
Avoid putting out a salary figure outrightly: Salary is a big motive for work. The question, ‘how much salary do you expect’ is definitely a controversial question and there is no one answer to how one can answer this question.
A key point which must be avoided is blurting out a salary figure without having an indication from the interviewer. A number of times, the employers have a much larger figure in their minds, which they are ready to offer compared to the candidate’s expectations.
Research the average salary on websites: With information available at your fingertips via the internet, the first thing that aspirants must do is research on career decision making websites to understand the average salary package that the industry is currently offering to professionals in their space. This will help you to gauge your value in the employment market, at that particular point in time.
Experience versus skills: It is a general perception that the salary growth is directly proportional to the number of years of experience, which definitely counts. However, in many cases, the unique skill-sets which candidates possess are given more importance than the number of years of experience.
So if you have unique skills or specialisations, highlighting those and showcasing how this can bring value to the business, may enable you to negotiate a salary package that is higher than the average industry salary package.
Confirm the actual job role: Before talking about salary expectation, make it a point to ask the employer about details of all the roles and responsibilities that would be expected to do once hired. This is important because many times the job description is just a basic outline of the job profile.
The desired salary range should be discussed when you have at least made it to the end of the interview. Understanding your core responsibilities will place you in a better position to talk about the salary figure that you deserve.
Take help from an experienced professional: It is extremely helpful, if before your face to face interview, you can find an experienced professional in your industry, who can help you calculate the potential value of your personal skills and background such as education, experience, certifications and management responsibilities.

This would give you the much needed confidence to face the employer’s question about salary expectations, backed with the understanding of the actual industry pay package.
Difference between assertive and aggressive: During negotiation, the candidate should maintain his/her composure and should not appear desperate or too aggressive. But it is important to be assertive about your salary expectations.
The employer will definitely try to negotiate the salary to a level he/she is comfortable with. But candidates need not feel intimidated and confidently assert their expectations based on their industry experience, unique skills and the value only they could bring to the company.

BJP’s win in Maharashtra to boost employment in key sectors

BJP’s win in Maharashtra to boost employment in key sectors

BJP’s historical win in Maharashtra is likely to bring in cheers to key sectors, including Infrastructure, Power, Hospitality and Financial Services…
After years, India is witnessing a situation where many of its state governments are from the same political party as that at the Centre. It creates an opportunity for smooth operations and sharp decline in friction in the execution of state and central policies. This is expected to accelerate the overall development of the country on the global stage.

Domino effect
With the centre clearing Rs 37,000 crore infrastructure projects for the state, the job market is expected to revive. In Maharashtra, major infrastructure projects such as power, roads and ports will get a boost in terms of quicker approvals, leading to creation of jobs. The Financial Services segment which will fund these projects is also likely to get the much needed impetus, further leading to enhanced employment opportunities.
As new jobs create higher disposable income at the hands of people, this will further lead to growing consumption of consumer goods and services. This increase in demand will give rise to more jobs in sectors such as Consumer Goods/FMCG, Electronics, Entertainment, Hospitality and Tourism. However, the pace of action in the infrastructure segment will determine the pace of action in other sectors.
Besides, Maharashtra is one of India’s leading industrial states and contributes around 13 per cent to India’s industrial output. It is a major hub for FDI and stock markets. It also has immense potential for infrastructure development and oil & gas which are the main themes for this government. Thus, a lot of development is likely in these sectors, creating healthy job opportunities.
More on the cards
BJP’s outright majority in Maharashtra should be a stepping stone towards improved Centre-State coordination, setting common goals, faster decision making related to goods and services taxes, which otherwise faces strong opposition in case of different ruling parties. Improvements such as GST, de-nationalisation of coal, increase in FDI cap in Insurance, diluting Land Acquisition Bill and increasing flexibility in stifling labour laws is also expected in the near future.
This win also sends a very strong message to the investors globally; they now view India as a very stable nation being governed by one party, resulting in uniform development. Hence, large investments are expected in Maharashtra which in turn will boost employability.
Moreover, BJP has been aggressively propagating the ‘Make in India’ goods and services, Maharashtra being home to many small scale industries, the industry leaders foresee vigorous growth in this segment.

Why you shouldn't eat anything when really hungry

Watch what you eat when really hungry

It's in our basic nature to reach for a large portion when hungry. Therefore, workouts apart, it's a must to keep high-satiety food options available at hand, simply for the times when you feel those hunger pangs.
With all the energy you devote to shedding kilos, you might actually know very little about the why most diets fail — hunger pangs. It's never easy to resist that third serving of pizza even if you are bursting out of your seams. The guilt always strikes after the damage is done. Know the signs of hunger, the cues for stress eating, and what triggers your cravings to tame yourself when hunger strikes.
The culprit
You've been working since 10 in the morning and consistently thinking about the deadline. Too busy to eat, there is a chance you would suffer from starvation. "Hunger is your body's cue to eat. Due to habits such as erratic timings and long gaps between meals, hunger cues get out of sync, leading to severe hunger pangs," says clinical wellness expert Namita Jain.
A simple solution
Firstly, understand your body clock. Know the difference between actual hunger and stomach contractions. Also, at times you may be misguided by people around you. "You may feel that eating less is better but it isn't true," says John Gloster, fitness expert. "Starvation is never a great survival strategy. Eat less but eat more often," he adds.
Is it hunger or thirst?
Figure out whether you are hungry or thirsty? Sometimes your body can send off signals to the brain that you are hungry. This is because food has lots of fluid contained within it. However, you don't want to be confused with taking on-board unwanted calories when you simply haven't had enough to drink. The key is to ensure you keep your fluid intake up over the course of a day.
What to eat and when
If you're following a particular diet, you will always prefer to carry a lunch box to work. A wheat bread sandwich, idlis (four to five), unpolished rice ( a bowl) and curd, a roti roll filled with vegetables or two to three fruits are apt options for the day. For mid-night hunger pangs, foods like salad sandwich are a big no-no. You would certainly not wish to sleep with a heavy stomach that leaves you restless all night. Instead, eat a fruit and drink a glass full of water over it.
The bottomline
To make sure you don't experience hunger pangs when on a diet, use top quality meal replacement drinks like coconut water, green tea and butter milk and get your hands on whatever snacks are allowed in the diet programme like soy nuts or energy bars. Eat a healthy balanced meal that doesn't leave you feeling hungry, and this way you'll get to snack on some treats when you want to!
To avoid severe hunger pangs
- Skipping breakfast is a sin. Don't skip breakfast, or you'll be starving and cranky by mid-morning. A breakfast with complex carbs and low fat protein will help stave off snack attacks.
- Plan ahead. Make sure that you have low calorie snacks and drinks with you. Take note of what times of day you become hungry and plan your meals and snacks accordingly. If you always cave in around 4 pm, schedule a snack for 3.30 and drink a big glass of water, too.
- Your body requires a certain amount of fat. Choose healthy fats, like olive oil. Mediterranean people include a lot of olive oil in their cooking and they have famously low rates of obesity and heart disease.
- Do not take drastic steps. Cutting your calories too drastically will make your metabolism slow down and cause you to be plagued with hunger all of the time.
- Eat volumes of low-cal food. Broccoli, cauliflower and veggie salads will fill you up and help stave off hunger.
- Stay away from sugary snacks and simple carbohydrates like sticky buns, cake and donuts. If you eat them your blood sugar will soar, and then crash and you'll find yourself irritable, jittery and famished.
- Eat sufficient protein. Scientific studies show that protein leaves people feeling full longer than carbohydrates.
To keep those hunger pangs at bay, distract yourself and divert your mind from food by getting involved in a task or a hobby you enjoy doing the most.

From earphones to jet engines, 3D printing takes off

Many manufacturers are at an early stage of discovering the benefits of 3D printing, but one of the clearest strengths is customization.

NEW YORK: Many manufacturers are at an early stage of discovering the benefits of 3D printing, but one of the clearest strengths is customization.

At Normal, consumers can use a mobile app to photograph their ear, transmit the shots to the New York startup's 3D printing facility and then receive customized earphones within 48 hours.

The process marries today's click-and-go speed with a made-to-order ethos that recalls the days of visiting the tailor or the cobbler.

The company's motto: "Normal: one size fits none." After three decades in relative obscurity, 3D printing, which employs lasers to "print" objects from metals or plastics according to a digital design, has suddenly become one of the hottest areas of technology.

Computer giant Hewlett-Packard is plunging into the business, recently announcing it would put its own ultra-fast 3D printer on the market by 2016, "empowering people to create, interact and inspire like never before".

General Electric chief executive Jeff Immelt has said 3D printing can help make manufacturing "sexy again", and president Barack Obama has praised it for having "the potential to revolutionize the way we make almost everything".

"It's a little bit confusing and the excitement is very big," said David Reis, chief executive at Israeli-US 3D printer manufacturer Stratasys.

"There's a lot of venture capital money coming into the market." But while enthusiasm for the technology is widespread, some companies see it as more of a long-term prospect than a current game changer.

Boeing does not expect to make major metal parts with 3D printing for at least 20 years, though company officials say that time frame could be accelerated.

3D printing "is definitely on the radar screen," said Dave Dietrich, technical leader for additive metals at the aerospace giant.

"The systems need to become larger, more repeatable, that sort of thing," he said. "We want to make sure we have an appropriate amount of testing and confidence in that process".

3D printing has its roots in the 1980s when inventor Chuck Hull began experimenting with liquid plastics that would harden when they were exposed to ultraviolet light.

Hull ultimately discovered that thousands of these plastic sheets could be layered, or "printed," on top of each other and shaped into a three-dimensional object.

He co-founded 3D Systems, with the company developing software to do 3D printing from computer images and building 3D printers.

Even so, Hull in May told the Quartz website that some of the talk about 3D printing "is definitely hype and won't happen".

The recent surge in interest follows the embrace of 3D printing technology by the "maker" community — the new technology do-it-yourself creative movement — said Pete Basiliere, research vice president at Gartner.

People can now buy their own 3D printers for less than $1,000, and enterprise-sized machines begin at an inexpensive $2,500.

Market researcher Gartner forecasts that worldwide spending on 3D printing will rise from $1.6 billion in 2015 to around $13.4 billion in 2018.

Basiliere is especially bullish on applications for medical devices like hearing aids and prosthetics, where the technology "has life-altering potential".

The impetus for Normal came from founder Nikki Kaufman's frustration about poorly fitting earphones and learning that a custom-made set through conventional manufacturing could cost $2,000 and take weeks to be made.

Kaufman raised $5 million from investors and opened her combined factory/store in New York City in August. The space has 10 3D printers but room for as many as 30.

GE is among the large manufacturers active in 3D printing. It has been using the technology to make fuel nozzles for its LEAP jet engines, which will go into service in 2015.

GE uses a 200-watt laser to melt together ultra-thin layers made from metal powders to make the fuel nozzle. 3D printing allows it to add cooling pathways to prevent the build-up of carbon deposits that mar conventionally made nozzles, making the 3D pieces up to five times more durable.

3D printing works especially well for "highly sophisticated parts that are very difficult to make in a conventional way," said GE Aviation spokesman Rick Kennedy.

GE is testing 3D printing for other engine parts, with an eye toward reducing material and energy costs. But Kennedy said adding more components to the engine will be "very gradual" after extensive testing.

"You tread very carefully because you're dealing with parts that absolutely have to work," he said.

92% Indian youths share personal info online: McAfee

The number of youngsters that trust the virtual world and interact with strangers registered a whopping increase of 36% this year, to 53% from 17% last year.

NEW DELHI: As many as 92% of Indian youths were found to have shared private information online despite being aware that this is risky, according to a report.

Sharing email IDs, phone numbers and home addresses on social networks and other websites poses a risk to the identity, but that does not seem to deter a majority of Indian youths as 70% of them share such details freely.

These shocking numbers are part of the annual study — named Tweens, Teens and Technology 2014 — conducted by Intel's security arm McAfee, which examines online behaviour and social networking habits of Indian tweens (8-12 years) and teens (13-17 years).

The number of youngsters that trust the virtual world and interact with strangers registered a whopping increase of 36% this year, to 53% from 17% last year, according to the study.

In fact, as many as 51% of those polled do not care about their online privacy at all, according to the report. In the same manner, they also do not care about their location being shared as 63% of youth do not turn off their location or GPS services across apps.

McAfee polled a total of 1,422 youngsters across seven cities, including Delhi, Mumbai, Bangaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad, Ahmedabad and Pune for this study.

Another shocking revelation from the study is that 52% of the Indian youths access their social media accounts at schools, with tweens (57%) being more active than the teens (47%). Shockingly, even though the minimum age to register on social networking sites such as Facebook, Snapchat, Pinterest, Tinder, Tumblr, and Vine is 13, children aged 10-12 years access them more regularly than teenagers.

Another big concern is that more than 60% of youngsters create fake profiles to be accepted virtually. Citing an example, Dr Sunil Mittal, a psychiatrist, shared how a 14-year-old girl set up a fake profile, projecting herself as someone totally different just to be accepted socially. She eventually tried to commit suicide when her second profile too was not 'socially accepted'. Mittal said a big reason for such behaviour was identity crisis which happens when children start idolizing through movies and advertisements.

Lack of online safety leads to consequences such as cyberbullying, which has surfaced with alarming figures. According to the McAfee report, two out of three polled youngsters had some experience with cyberbullying and an overwhelming number said they would not know what to do if they were harassed online.

Whatever goes on in the lives of teens virtually has a spillover effect in their real lives too. About 46% of youths have gotten into trouble at home or school as a result of being on a social networking website, said the report.

According to McAfee researchers, parents need to play a bigger, more proactive role in protecting their children from the perils of virtual world. While 46% of the polled parents said they have had a conversation with their kids about online safety, as many as 52% said they simply didn't care, as per the report. Lack of tech savviness is the biggest reason behind this ignorance.

One way to protect children from cyberrisks is to be involved in their lives and make sure that the communication lines with them always remain open, feel the experts. Parents also need to know about the various devices and latest social networks their kids are using.

According to experts, the parents must have access to children's social media accounts and passcodes to devices at all times."Parents must not be very strict and try to be friends with their children so that they are comfortable enough to share their problems with them," says Anindita Mishra, McAfee Cybermum (a title given by the company).

"Teens love it when you treat them like an adult or ask for their opinion and eventually they start trusting you too," she adds.

She also says that it is highly important to make children aware about the threats the virtual world poses and it has become very important for schools to conduct sessions on this issue.versa. Those your kid interacts with may not always be who they claim to be. Not all the information they get online is verified or true. Then there is the danger of malware and system hacking, not to mention the easy availability of age-inappropriate pornographic and violent content.
Even tech-savvy kids lack foresight and experience required for safe surfing. Kids don’t know how to handle spammers, cyber-bullies, stalkers or hackers. Some may even use the net to themselves abuse others, spread rumours, or hack accounts just for fun.

The answer doesn’t lie in banning internet or phones, but not permitting unmonitored and untrained use of the net.

An aware, confident child who has an open, trust-based relation with parents will rarely do wrong online. Start preparing children for a safe internet experience at an early age. Teach them to use the net wisely, safely and responsibly.

Internet safety is more about values and good manners than tech. Teach them the DOs and DONTs. Point out to them what’s allowed and what’s not. Talk to them about cyber ethics, etiquette and responsibilities. And set rules.

Here are 11 quick tips that will help your child stay safe online and ensure your peace of mind:

Twitter's employees are deeply frustrated with the CEO — here's why

Dick Costolo was appointed as CEO in 2010 in part to stabilize Twitter's management after a fairly public power struggle between two of its founders.

The departures of Twitter high-ups have ticked off steadily this year.

Michael Sippey, vice president of product. Doug Bowman, creative director. Chris Fry, senior VP of engineering. Ali Rowghani, chief operating officer. Chloe Sladden, head of North American media. Vivian Schiller, head of news. Most recently, Jeremy Gordon, VP of engineering.

Go back further and the list stretches on.

Turnover is a given at most startups, but the changes at Twitter have continued at a startling pace since it went public exactly one year ago. At least one of these departures — Rowghani's — has been attributed to clashes with Twitter CEO Dick Costolo.

Others, at both the management and staff levels, have been chalked up to general confusion and frustration at the company. That's all unfortunate for Costolo, who was appointed as CEO in 2010 in part to stabilize Twitter's management after a fairly public power struggle between two of its founders.

Behind Twitter's departures and frustration might be an identity crisis. The Wall Street Journal reported that current and former Twitter employees describe Costolo as someone who "bounces from one idea to the next," and that people close to the CEO feel his vision for the company has grown scattered since the IPO. In recent years, Costolo has talked about Twitter as a "global town square," an "indispensable companion to life in the moment," and "the world's largest information network." As his blueprint has changed, so has his business plan; the latest push has been to expand Twitter beyond its core active users.

Since its public debut, Twitter has lost about 10% of its value, falling to just over $40 a share. When the customary post-IPO lockup period ended in May, the stock crashed 17.8% as some of its largest early investors dumped their shares. At the same time, a slowing rate of growth in Twitter's monthly users and timeline views has caused some analysts and media outlets to write off Twitter as a stagnating company. Others have criticized Twitter for becoming too much like Facebook.

"Slate's" Will Oremus has already made the opposing case on both of these points: That Twitter is not dying, and that it will never be like Facebook. On the other hand, Twitter distancing itself from Facebook is not the same as Twitter solidifying its own identity.

The big questions it's reportedly toying with — should it give up on the reverse chronological feed? Use an algorithm? — could move its product in several different directions. At just one year old in the corporate world, it's not necessarily bad that Twitter doesn't have all these things hammered out. But one year is also a good point to reflect. And if it turns out that identity questions are behind most of the unrest and turnover at the company, they need to be resolved sooner rather than later.

Twitter's employees are deeply frustrated with the CEO — here's why

Dick Costolo was appointed as CEO in 2010 in part to stabilize Twitter's management after a fairly public power struggle between two of its founders.

The departures of Twitter high-ups have ticked off steadily this year.

Michael Sippey, vice president of product. Doug Bowman, creative director. Chris Fry, senior VP of engineering. Ali Rowghani, chief operating officer. Chloe Sladden, head of North American media. Vivian Schiller, head of news. Most recently, Jeremy Gordon, VP of engineering.

Go back further and the list stretches on.

Turnover is a given at most startups, but the changes at Twitter have continued at a startling pace since it went public exactly one year ago. At least one of these departures — Rowghani's — has been attributed to clashes with Twitter CEO Dick Costolo.

Others, at both the management and staff levels, have been chalked up to general confusion and frustration at the company. That's all unfortunate for Costolo, who was appointed as CEO in 2010 in part to stabilize Twitter's management after a fairly public power struggle between two of its founders.

Behind Twitter's departures and frustration might be an identity crisis. The Wall Street Journal reported that current and former Twitter employees describe Costolo as someone who "bounces from one idea to the next," and that people close to the CEO feel his vision for the company has grown scattered since the IPO. In recent years, Costolo has talked about Twitter as a "global town square," an "indispensable companion to life in the moment," and "the world's largest information network." As his blueprint has changed, so has his business plan; the latest push has been to expand Twitter beyond its core active users.

Since its public debut, Twitter has lost about 10% of its value, falling to just over $40 a share. When the customary post-IPO lockup period ended in May, the stock crashed 17.8% as some of its largest early investors dumped their shares. At the same time, a slowing rate of growth in Twitter's monthly users and timeline views has caused some analysts and media outlets to write off Twitter as a stagnating company. Others have criticized Twitter for becoming too much like Facebook.

"Slate's" Will Oremus has already made the opposing case on both of these points: That Twitter is not dying, and that it will never be like Facebook. On the other hand, Twitter distancing itself from Facebook is not the same as Twitter solidifying its own identity.

The big questions it's reportedly toying with — should it give up on the reverse chronological feed? Use an algorithm? — could move its product in several different directions. At just one year old in the corporate world, it's not necessarily bad that Twitter doesn't have all these things hammered out. But one year is also a good point to reflect. And if it turns out that identity questions are behind most of the unrest and turnover at the company, they need to be resolved sooner rather than later.

Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka renews product focus with cultural mindshift

Infosys has started placing a team of specialists across service lines who can solve what it believes are some of the challenging business problems enterprises face.

BENGALURU: Last week, Infosys CEO Vishal Sikka, along with the company's senior managers, interacted with about 100 analysts at a five-star hotel over a three-day event in Orlando, making Ray Wang of Constellation Research remark that the newly-appointed boss was "inviting, not defensive", "forward thinking", "not retrospective" and "authentic not forced".

His colleague Alan Lepofsky observed that this meeting had "more suits and ties" than any other conference he had been to this year. Lepofsky is right, for an event by Infosys does manage to have the largest confluence of analysts for it is the world's most scrutinised company, with more than 57 analysts worldwide tracking a company that posted revenue of more than $8.2 billion last fiscal.

So what exactly has Sikka been up to in the 100 days since taking over as the first non-founder chief executive at the company? To start with, he's attempting to bring about a cultural shift in mindset. "If we do the work of a drone, expect to be replaced," Sikka told the gathering.

This cultural shift is largely being pushed by bringing in Design Thinking, a user-centric, problem-solving approach to help engineers make simple, well-written code. Already, the company has trained 5,238 employees and aims to have more than 30,000 engineers undergo the process at its Mysore facility.

The company has started placing a team of specialists across service lines who can solve what it believes are some of the challenging business problems enterprises face. The team of Value Ninjas is intended to help the company get more business from existing clients.

Sikka's new team of seven former SAP executives, including five senior vice presidents, will help drive this initiative, which requires a "product-centric" background, said a senior company executive.

"Data analytics is the key for this will help customers as they seek faster innovation," according to the executive. This is validated by the company's decision to beef up hiring in its data analytics team, with 300 of the 2,100 professionals the company will hire in the US in the next 12 months.

Finally, the company will soon train some of its employees under the proposed Next Gen Innovators programme to help them become "creative" and "enable them to co-innovate with clients", according to the executive. "The new Infosys is here," said Holger Mueller, principal analyst and vice president at Constellation Research. "Infosys has been focused on product IP before, but there can be no doubt that the product focus has been renewed and re-enforced with his appointment."

But are any of the 912 customers buying into Infosys's transformational exercise? Most importantly, has Infosys managed to win new accounts since Sikka's arrival? To be sure, the company posted better-than-expected second quarter results as revenue grew 3.2% over the April-June period to $2,201 million. The event was also attended by eight of Infosys' large clients, including Sean McCormack, chief technology officer at Harley Davidson, the US-based motorcycle maker.

On the company's recently spun-off products, platforms and solutions business, which accounts for less than 5% of total revenues, Infosys management shared some early insights.

Sanjay Purohit, boss of EdgeVerve, outlined six focus areas to scale up the division. The six scope areas are digital marketing, commerce, customer service, distribution (with TradeEdge), ecosystem management and procurement. "Purohit was pretty clear this is a real product offering, with the source code only available to his team," one of the analysts told ET.

Sikka is also focusing on a partnership model, with Infosys forging alliances with companies and universities. The company has partnered with Stanford University, to jointly create course curriculum in data science and analytics and help both parties work on real-world problem areas. The company has further extended its partnership with companies including Microsoft, Huawei and Hitachi and strengthened its engagement with Oracle and formed a new partnership with business analytics software maker Tableau.

Internally too, the change of leadership at the top has brought in a renewed confidence and buzz among the employees. "In my sense, it (attrition) should come down to 13-15% in the next two to three quarters," UB Pravin Rao, chief operating officer, told ET in an interview last month. The 1,65,000-strong Infosys reported an attrition rate of 20.1% for the second quarter ended September.

Investors have been buoyant: Since Sikka took over as chief executive on August 1, the stock has outperformed the broader National Stock Exchange IT index, up 24.3% versus 12.2%.

Still, some remain cautious about the measures translating into success. "Certainly the five pillars are promising (but) we'll have to check on customer success in the next quarters," said Mueller of Constellation, adding it may take at least 300 days to see the benefits of the change for Infosys' customers

Apple releases online tool to fix iMessage problem

The tool allows users to deregister their phone numbers from iMessage even after they stop using their iPhones.

NEW DELHI: Apple has released an online tool as a fix for the bug that makes any message sent via the iMessage app of iPhone dissappear once the user has switched to Android. This tool allows users to deregister their phone numbers from iMessage even after they stop using their iPhones, so that no user can send them an iMessage anymore.

The iMessage bug has been a bone of contention for many iPhone users who were switching to a different mobile platform, such as Android or Windows Phone. Due to the bug, those who switched from iOS to another mobile ecosystem but did not decouple their phone number from iMessage system continued to appear as iMessage users and continued to get iMessages from their contacts.

However, iMessage can only be used on Apple devices and the messages were not forwarded automatically as SMSs. This led to many iMessages disappearing without the knowledge of the recipients, while senders remained under the impression that the message they sent have been delivered.

Apple was even slapped with a lawsuit over this iMessage bug in May this year. The lawsuit claimed that Apple failed to disclose that switching to a device other than one running on Apple's iOS operating system would result in the interference. The suit is based on contractual interference and unfair competition laws.

There have been reports of other problems with iMessage as well. In October, Apple acknowledged an bug due to which failed iMessages are unable to be sent as text messages, as they usually do if the iMessage service is down, even though text messages are sending without fail.

There was a small controversy the same month when a security firm said that Apple can read iMessages if it wants to. However, the researchers made it clear by their demonstration of the vulnerability that, only if the company wants or made to do so by governmental order, will it read the iMessages.

Apple spokeswoman Trudy Miller slammed the claims and said that iMessage is not architected to allow Apple to read messages and the claims made by the researchers only discussed the vulnerabilities that would require it.

Microsoft Lumia 535 smartphone leaked online

NEW DELHI: Just a couple of days after Microsoft teased its first smartphone without Nokia branding, an upcoming Lumia model has been leaked online.



The leak comes courtesy China's Baidu.com and shows the dummy version of the upcoming Lumia 535, an upgrade to Lumia 530 smartphone.

Lumia 530 will reportedly have a 5-inch screen with 540x960p resolution and run on a 1.2GHz dual-core processor with 1GB RAM. This Windows Phone 8.1 device has a 5MP rear camera and VGA front camera.

Microsoft Lumia 535 is said to have 8GB internal storage, 1,900mAh battery and dual sim functionality. It is rumoured that only one sim will support 3G on this handset.

Interestingly, the dummy model of Lumia 535 shown in the leaked images has curved corners. The image teased by Microsoft recently also showed a phone with curved corners, so it is likely that the company will launch Lumia 535 on November 11.

KL Rahul earns maiden call-up, Raina back in India Test squad

© Getty Images

Suresh Raina last featured in a Test match more than two years ago against New Zealand.

KL Rahul and Karn Sharma were the two new faces in India's Test squad, while Suresh Raina and Umesh Yadav were recalled as the selectors named a 19-member squad for the tour of Australia next month. There was no place for Stuart Binny, Gautam Gambhir, Pankaj Singh and Ishwar Pandey, who were part of the tour of England in July-August.

Following the failed experiment with Gautam Gambhir in England this past summer, the selectors decided to lock in Karnataka batsman Rahul, 22, as the third opener after a prolific season with the bat, exemplified by his twin centuries for South Zone in the Duleep Trophy final played at the Feroz Shah Kotla recently. There was a case for a surprise call-up for Virender Sehwag in some closed circles, as well as Rahul's Karnataka's teammate Robin Uthappa, but the selectors chose to go with the younger option.

Rahul's excellent form has continued from last year's Ranji Trophy season, where he finished as the second-highest run-getter with 1033 runs at an average of 68.86, and was also a part of India A's tour of Australia earlier this year, where he performed reasonably well.

India's other concern during their 1-3 Test series defeat in England was the uncertainty of the No. 6 spot, where Rohit Sharma and Binny were both tried. While Binny was left out of the squad, Raina, who last played a Test match more than two years ago, was recalled following his superb run of form in the shorter formats, and his vast experience of having played in overseas conditions. Rohit, who played a solitary Test during the tour of England, was retained after recovering from a shoulder injury.

With the BCCI confirming that captain MS Dhoni would miss the first Test at Brisbane starting on December 4 owing to an injury in his right thumb, the selectors named two wicketkeeper-batsmen as back-up options, while announcing Virat Kohli as stand-in captain. Wriddhiman Saha and Naman Ojha, who were both part of the England touring party - the latter was flown in after Saha injured himself - were named in the squad. Ojha's selection follows his sizzling form for India A on the tour of Australia, where he had scored a double hundred and two centuries, and followed it up with a double century for Central Zone in the Duleep Trophy semi-final.

In the bowling department, Umesh Yadav returned to the squad after showing impressive form in the ongoing ODI series against Sri Lanka, making up a five-member pace bowling attack, but there was no place for England returnees Pankaj Singh and Ishwar Pandey. Pandey was part of the India's last two Test tours to England as well as New Zealand, but was excluded without earning a Test cap. Pankaj was left out after cutting a poor figure in the two Tests he played against England, and was ignored despite performing well in the Duleep Trophy final.

The selectors also decided to pick a third spinner - legspinner Karn Sharma - to add variety to India's bowling attack. Railways spinner Sharma, 26, impressed during India's warm-up game against the touring Sri Lankans, and was named ahead of the likes of Amit Mishra and Pragyan Ojha.

India squad for Australia tour: MS Dhoni (capt/wk), Virat Kohli, Shikhar Dhawan, Murali Vijay, KL Rahul, Cheteshwar Pujara, Ajinkya Rahane, Rohit Sharma, Suresh Raina, Wriddhiman Saha (wk), Naman Ojha (wk), Ravichandran Ashwin, Karn Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Bhuvneshwar Kumar, Mohammed Shami, Ishant Sharma, Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron

Rahul reaps the reward for consistency

© PTI

For his ability to score heavily on the big stage, KL Rahul has been rewarded with a maiden India call-up.

The Duleep Trophy final played at the Feroz Shah Kotla couple of weeks earlier was a proving ground for several players to get themselves noticed for the India selection. While all eyes were on Robin Uthappa, who had scored a brilliant 120 during the Duleep Trophy semi-final at Lahli, and Naman Ojha, who had hit two double hundreds and two centuries in his last four first-class games, it was KL Rahul who stole the limelight.

Playing in his first Duleep Trophy game on the back of a stellar Ranji season where he finished as the second-highest run-getter with 1033 at an average of 68.86, Rahul became only the eleventh player in the tournament's history to score a century in each innings of the final.

The buzz at the time was about selection and the close fight for the third opener's slot for the Australia tour had many tongues wagging. With Gautam Gambhir's failure in England, it was certain that selectors had their eyes set on the younger lot. Virender Sehwag's name sprung up quite a few times, but the young guns where clear favourites and eventually, Rahul made the cut rather emphatically.

Rahul, 22, has a knack of scoring big when it matters the most and the twin hundreds in the final (185 and 130) against Central Zone exemplified the big match temperament he possesses. And to add further, he had hit a century in last season's Ranji Trophy final and had contributed a match-winning 93 against Pakistan in the Under-23 ACC Emerging Team Cup final in Singapore.

An elegant batsman, Rahul probably played the best two knocks of his career at the Kotla in presence of the national selectors. Going up against the likes of Pankaj Singh and Ishwar Pandey, both of whom were part of India's Test squad in England, it was a fantastic statement to make.

The knock of 185, on a batting friendly day, was sublime at its best. He was free flowing and seldom was he troubled by the pacers. He took on the spinners with ease and more importantly did not lose focus after reaching the triple-figure mark, setting his eyes on the double. The 130-run knock in the second innings, on a wicket that became a bit tough to bat on, Rahul displayed his gritty temperament and toughed it out in the middle before dominating the bowling once again. The common strand in both the innings was his aggression that did not allow the bowlers to get on top of him and his ability to absorb the pressure.

In Australia, Rahul will be an understudy to both Shikhar Dhawan and Murali Vijay and the conditions there will pose a very different challenge to him. By his own admission, he has the skill set and it will be about adapting and handling the pressure of playing cricket at the highest level that will determine his success. He has already toured Australia earlier this year with India A, scoring 101 runs from two first-class games.

The other notable inclusion in the squad is legspinner Karn Sharma who has already played a Twenty20 International for India in England. An average performer in the longer format of the game, the 27-year-old has taken 66 wickets at an average of 28.87 in 37 first-class matches and even though it will be very unlikely that he will get a game Down Under, his selection hints at the fact that the selectors are willing to experiment. A wrist-spinner is always a better wicket-taking option than a finger spinner and who knows, a good practice game against Cricket Australia's Invitational XI might even prompt the management to try him out.

Selectors look to the future with India's Test squad

© Getty Images

As far as the reserve opening batsman's slot goes, in blooding the talented KL Rahul the selectors are looking at the future.

They don't speak much in public and only a terse media release lists those picked by the Board of Control for Cricket in India's selection committee.

On Monday, the BCCI release on the team chosen to tour Australia for the Test series next month went a step ahead and spoke about the skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni, recovering from a thumb injury, being rested for the first Test as a 'prophylactic' (meaning preventive or precautionary) measure to ensure optimum recovery.

But seeing an unusual complement of three wicketkeeper-batsmen in the touring party - Wriddhiman Saha and Naman Ojha are the others - is indicative that there are no guarantees about Dhoni's fitness being close to Test level during the series. It also suggests that the think tank may be unwilling to risk aggravating his injury ahead of the World Cup.

Clearly, unlike on the England trip, the tour selectors have been given a good choice of pacemen to pick from among Umesh Yadav, Varun Aaron, Ishant Sharma and Mohammed Shami to play alongside swing bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar. The combination they choose will determine how quickly India's bowlers can claim 20 wickets in each Test.

Seam bowlers Pankaj Singh and Ishwar Pandey, who were on the tour of England, may find hard done by but that is the nature of the selection beast, especially when the belief appears to be backing the faster Umesh Yadav. Then again, this may well be a tacit admission by the selectors that they erred in their choice of seam and swing bowlers on that tour.

Karn Sharma's pace and bounce could be excitingly handy in Australia but whether the tour selectors will look to displace left-arm spinner Ravindra Jadeja and, for that matter, offspinner R Ashwin to include the Railways legspinner remains to be seen. He could be an exciting option, a bowler who the Australians have not played before, notwithstanding their stint in the IPL.

As far as the reserve opening batsman's slot goes, in blooding the talented KL Rahul the selectors are looking at the future but by recalling left-handed Suresh Raina to the Test squad they are looking for some kind of experience when it comes to the reserve middle-order batsman.

There was some talk about recalling Virender Sehwag in place of Gautam Gambhir, whose footwork in England was vertical rather than rooted to the ground. But the selectors have done well to give the talented, consistent and deserving Rahul the task of learning the job in one of the most competitive environments in world cricket.

Raina's return was a foregone conclusion after Team Director Ravi Shastri spoke openly about wanting to see the left-hander in the Test squad. Even if he does not immediately push for a slot in the middle-order where Cheteshwar Pujara, Virat Kohli, Ajinkya Rahane and Rohit Sharma are the preferred options, his being in Australia can help him in the World Cup.

But, purely from the four-Test series point of view, the selectors have done well to pick a squad of 19 from which the tour management will have to choose the best XI for each Test. That and the performances of the chosen XI will determine how combative India are in the Test matches in Australia.

Samsung Galaxy S5, S5-LTE get price cuts in India

Samsung Galaxy S5 is now listed at Rs 34,900, marking a drop of Rs 2,600; Galaxy S5-LTE now costs Rs 36,900, down from Rs 40,300.

NEW DELHI: Samsung has cut the prices of its Galaxy S5 and S5-LTE smartphones in India yet again.



The Galaxy S5 smartphone, which was launched in April this year at Rs 51,500, is now listed at Rs 34,900, marking a drop of Rs 2,600. In October this year, the smartphone's price had been reduced from Rs 43,250 to Rs 37,500.

The smartphone features a 5.1-inch Super AMOLED display with Full HD resolution and runs on Android 4.4 with TouchWiz UI. It is powered by the 2.3GHz quad-core Snapdragon 801 processor with 2GB RAM and sports a 16MP rear camera on the back. It was the first Samsung smartphone to feature the fingerprint scanner and heart rate monitor.



Samsung Galaxy S5-LTE, which features support for faster 4G data downloads than Galaxy S5, now costs Rs 36,900. This marks a reduction of Rs 3,400 from its previous price tag of Rs 40,300. The South Korean manufacturer had given a price cut to Galaxy S5-LTE in October as well.


The two smartphones face increasingly tough competition in the market, not just from rivals like HTC One (M8) and Sony Xperia Z2 but also from their own siblings like Galaxy Alpha and Note III.

Samsung is the leader in the Indian smartphone market, but companies like Micromax, Motorola and Xiaomi continue to cut its lead at a fast clip, market data suggests.

Major smartphone makers usually launch a mini version of their top smartphones, for example Sony Xperia Z1 Compact and HTC One mini 2 being the smaller versions of Xperia Z1 and One (M8), respectively.

But Samsung has taken this trend a step further by launching as many as seven variants of Galaxy S5. And we are not even counting the rumoured Galaxy S5 Prime and Galaxy S5 Neo.

Here’s a look at the seven variants of Samsung Galaxy S5 available in the market today:
