Waves of corporatisation in India

Corporatisation can be generally referred to as standardisation and formalisation of a business firm along the modern techno-industrial lines. This practice of corporatisation began in Britain during industrial revolution when big companies based on coal, iron and steam engine set up industries across England and there was a need for standardisation of business operation of a particular company all across the country. This later spread to United States (beginning from Cotton textiles and plantation firm having large holdings), France and Germany during 19th century. As far as India is concerned, it has witnessed four waves of corporatisation First wave of corporatisation was based on Kolkata beginning with East India Company, which gradually opened up for multiple English companies after 1858 GoI Act. Later on several companies of textiles, chemicals and heavy industries opened their offices in Kolkata, of whom many beginning to be owned by Indians too. Second wave of corporatisation began in Bombay Mumbai when Manchester based textiles companies opened up their head offices in Mumbai in purpose of handling export of raw cotton from Gujarat and Maharashtra and importing finished textiles from England through Mumbai port. Later on several Gujrati Marwari textile companies opened factories and offices in Mumbai. Corporatisation in Mumbai went for a long period of time I would say, even after independence. It benefitted from spread of communism in Bengal, which made Kolkata unattractive destination for investment, and LPG reforms, after which companies boomed in India who subsequently only found Mumbai as most suitable site for office. Third wave of corporatisation began in Delhi-NCR, Bangalore and Hyderabad coinciding with IT boom in India. Availability of talent pool became the biggest common factor triggering corporatisation in these three cities. We are currently in fourth wave of corporatisation which is not limited to handful of big cities. Corporate world also streching their roots to multiple cities like Chennai, Vishakhapatnam, Ahemdabad, Bhubaneswar, Indore, Jaipur, Lucknow etc as well. Companies are opening their offices in other cities as well for managing their operations in regional level. Several start-up companies are also emerging. In future companies likely to shift their peripheral operations involving technical staff in other cities and limit only managerial level tasks in respective offices in big cities.

My Happiness or Family’s ? - I feel trapped

Hey Grapevine folks, felt like sharing something deep that happened to me in last few months. I am a 25M and I was in a 1.5 Years of relationship with a girl I met on Hinge. With her everything felt so easy. We got a lot of hobbies in common, we used to dance, sing, cook together. I am into playing guitar as well so I taught her how to play it, she plays really great now so we used to jam for hours. My life in Bangalore became so easy despite being so far from home. We were of same age, deeply in love, bestfriends, comfortable af and much more. Things started going really bad when we both were deeply in love with each other and have to talk about what next related to marriage, because there’s severe caste issue in my family. Last month I went home and revealed my relationship to my mom and dad. I come from a typical Marwari Rajasthani Family so you all can already guess my dad’s mentality about intercaste marriage. Ofcourse my dad said straight up No for it, “Samaj mai meri ijjat chali jaygi, tune ye kadam uthaya hi kyu, agar ye hone diya toh sar utha k nahi chal paynge hum log, tujhe samaj se lena dena nai hai par humko toh in sab k saath hi rehna hai idhr etc etc etc” I was broke, my dad thinks that I have did some crime. I understand that there’s a major Generation Gap and I cannot explain them the concept of Love, and compatibility. My mom was fine with it, but she used to cry every day not because I want to do love marriage but because of my Dad, we cannot do this and my son wont be happy. At the end, I know my parents are wrong but yet they are my parents and I couldn’t see them sad. I felt helpless and had to breakup with my Girlfriend I cried everyday missing her, I feel like I have a big void in my life. Sometime I feel that its fine to sacrifice on few things for your parents but yet I feel like ek hi toh life hai aur pyaar krne vale logo k saath na bita sako toh kya hi mtlb jeene ka

Searching for Jiju

In this dating culture I'm very scared for my sister's soulmate. She has done her college and job from hometown. I belong to a metrocity, she is a 100% family girl which is why she kept it clear that until marraige she won't work in another city and do her software engineering job from home. She is such an innocent girl who has been far far away from this relationship culture. My family is a big nuclear family btw so all of us(siblings and parents) are very attached to each other. Searching for FAANG jiju who can take care of my innocent sister. Caste has to be baniya marwadi :( My family is searching for an arrange marriage match but I get really concerned for my sister as she is very loyal and innocent for this generation, we can't know any guy in few days if going for arrange marriage.
