The Bureau of Energy Efficiency just announced a proposed 5-star rating system for electric two-wheelers.But for a business or brand in a new category, there is a larger question:

Will a better star rating make your brand more preferred?

SpaceX has just gone public at a staggering US$1.77 trillion valuation — and for someone like me, who would take a one-way ticket into space just to see what lies beyond Earth, this feels bigger than an IPO.

Growth is becoming harder for many businesses. Demand is uneven. Competition is intense. Capital is more selective.

The Indian Union Government’s Budget announced earlier this week sends a clear, if understated, signal to business leaders: This is not a Budget driven by an extraordinary government-led growth push.
