The ‘High’ after the low

You can checkout any time you like, if only you could leave...
The 1977 classic by the Eagles from the award-winning album, Hotel California, best describes what it is like to be trapped in the vicious gambit of substance abuse–be it alcohol, drugs or any of their ilk – a one-way street where there’s no turning back. Ask Robbie Williams, Charlie Sheen, Tommy Lee and our very own Sanju Baba who’ve all been there, done that! And with the Britney Spears episode, comes to light yet another grim reminder that anybody and everybody can be vulnerable, irrespective of social or economic fibre. However, just as there is light at the end of the tunnel, there is for every hour of Yin, an hour of Yang. Enter the rehab, the
first, last and perhaps the only resort of an addict!

Young Working Indians

Suneel portrays many of today’s young working Indians, whose lives totally revolve around work. Though many like Suneel are initially excellent performers, and have become equipped to handle challenges at work, but as their career graph progresses, their demands vary. As they further climb up the career ladder, the volume of efforts increase, and they’re prone to experience the burnout syndrome. Burnouts are executives who become emotionally exhausted due to stress at workplace. Employees need to live a balanced life, and close social circles like family and friends act as the best anti-stressors. Intense working habits do lead to physical and mental problems, and therefore, for organisations that value their employees, it is a clear danger signal, as in the long term such employees’ productivity is prone to decline. When an employee realises that there is something wrong, the levels of stress dramatically increase, thereby sabotaging the productivity levels. He then starts pointing at problems outside rather than looking inside. This goes to say that an employee might have the resources & opportunities to get his work done, but when there is a problem on the inside, it just won’t work out. So, what’s the solution then? And who’s to be blamed?

Expansion in the Market

Of course, this slow and steady approach also means that rivals have sometimes stolen the march when it comes to expansion in the market. Despite its popularity and perceived success, McDonalds has till date set up only 108 outlets across the country when compared to Pizza Hut’s 127 outlets and Domino’s’ 133 outlets. Surely, not a leader there!

Then again, there’s the undeniable fact that the average revenue per customer would be much more in Pizza Hut & Domino’s than McDonalds. Pizzas do cost much more than burgers, you see-at least in the Indian market! This tentative approach has also meant a more modest presence in non-metro cities. In Pune, Indore, Bangalore and Hyderabad combined, McDonalds has just 17 outlets while rival Domino’s has almost double the number at 33 outlets!
