I was talking to my insurance agent for renewing my car insurance. This is when my 10 year old kid asked, “Dad, what is insurance and why do we need it?” After my call, I explained to him that this is to cover risk in case, any unforeseen event occurs.

Liquidity Management
What is Liquidity Management?
I used to stay in a hostel when I did my engineering. My home was not very far, (just 220 km) and I used to go home on alternate weekends or once a month. Whenever I went home, my father always gave me money for pocket-expenses. At that point of time, I never understood how my dad ensured this continual flow of cash whenever required. However, once I started earning & looked back, I discovered how difficult it was to ensure constant money flow when it is most required, like over the weekend or in the first week of month. Professionally, when I started working in the Liquidity management domain, I thoroughly understood the nuances of it and started appreciating the liquidity management of my father and its need in the corporate world.

Net Neutrality
What is Net Neutrality?
The term, Net Neutrality, was originally used by Tim Wu (Columbia university professor) in 2003. It is the principle that telecom companies, Internet service providers & government should not differentiate on data access on the internet. Internet was configured to only provide a connection between two devices without favoring any particular technology, industry or service provider. This is the essence of neutrality of the internet. For example, a service provider should not provide greater access speed to a website on the basis of higher payment from that website. Read More…
