  • Summary

  • In the last three years, the relationship between an employer and an employee can at best be described as - mercurial. In the first two years of the pandemic, we tip-toed into each other’s private spaces and soon the office and the home shared the same room. Healthcare benefits, leave and employee engagement policies were overhauled as Covid raged. But once markets opened up, the equations became testy. Employees swiftly changed their loyalties and companies outmanoeuvred one another to retain talent. Then again, the tide turned as global markets and war put brakes on all future plans. Now, the employer had the upper hand and what followed was a series of layoffs, freezing of perks and hushed anxiety enveloping the office corridors. Over the next few episodes of The Working Life, We will talk to HR heads, compensation specialists, diversity experts and employees about how the relationship with our workplaces has changed. And will try to find out how companies are redrawing every strategy to retain their best talent and attract the new crop of young workforce who have a whole different expectation from their jobs. Tune in with Devina Sengupta to The Working Life to know more.

  • Why coaching capital Kota has failed its entrance test

    Why coaching capital Kota has failed its entrance test
    Aug 14 2024
    Our host Devina spent a week in Kota this July. When she last visited in 2022, the city was so packed, that there was hardly any space to stand. Today, the streets carry a shutters-down look, reflecting the economic hardship of a community once thriving on the influx of students. There's palpable anger and frustration among business owners and locals because they made the critical mistake of depending solely on students for survival. Now that the student population has dropped by nearly half, it has created a ripple effect—loan defaults are on the rise, and rental contracts are being renegotiated or abandoned. Devina Sengupta delves deeper into the issue in a conversation with Pramod Maheshwari, Founder & CEO of Career Point Ltd., as they explore the impact of this demographic shift on Kota's economic landscape.
