KV Gautam: The Best Motivational Speaker in New Delhi

Recently I got to attend a corporate event organized by a large FMGC firm in New Delhi.  I expected the usual boring corporate lectures. However, I was blown away by the experience. The key event was a motivational speech by KV Gautam. He impressed me very much by his motivational talk.

The motivational talk by KV Gautam lasted for 1 hour. He talked about the importance of staying positive in tough times. He also talked about the importance of bonding and trust in a team. No need to say the audience was spell-bound. Gautam spoke with conviction and motivated people present there. He also narrated a couple of events from his own life which made the talk even more interesting. He received a standing ovation at the end. I have heard several motivational talks. But this was the best.

I also came to know that Gautam is also going to deliver a talk at TED event this year. I came to know this on his website http://www.motivationalspeakergautam.com

India's Forex Reserves Cross $300 Billion Mark

It is a good news that India's foreign exchange reserves have witnessed a jump of a staggering $5 billion, with the total reserves now crossing $300 billion. 

It may be noted that it is after 2 years that India's forex (foreign exchange) reserves have reached this level. Last time they touched this $300 billion plus mark was way back in December 2011. 

Two main factors to which this achievement has been attributed are - a.) selling og the Indian govt's 9 per cent stake in Axis Bank, and b.) buyback of forex that were given to oil companies in 2012. 

Now let's hope that we are able to make an effective use of this kitty.

WHO Declares India To Be Polio Free

It is really so heartening that World Health Organization (WHO) has declared India and 10 other Asian countries to be Polio free. This recognition comes after a long phase of hard work, with the countries concerned deserving a huge applause.

The other Asian countries that received this long cherished recognition include Nepal, Bhutan, Myanmar, Sri Lanka and Maldives.

It may be noted that now virtually all the countries from the Indian Sub Continent have officially become polio free, with only two countries from that region that still await that achievement are Pakistan and Afghanistan.
