White Label ATMs - WLAs in India

Non-bank entities that setting up, owning and operating ATMs in India is called as White Label ATM Operators (WLAO). Non-bank owned & operated ATMs are called as White Label ATMs (WLAs).

On June 20, 2012 Reserve Bank of India (RBI) invited applications from minimum Rs.100 Crore net worth non-bank entities which incorporated in India under Companies Act 1956, to get authorisation to set up WLAs.

With an 23-25% year-on-year growth in the number of ATMs (90,000+ presently), their deployment has been predominantly in Tier I and Tier II centres. Adding on to banks efforts in this direction lots more to be done.

This move from RBI is to encourage setting up ATMs in Tier III and Tier IV centres and rural India.

After obtaining authorisation from RBI under the Payment and Settlement Systems (PSS) Act 2007 WLAs can start the operations in India. As a prerequisite non-banking entities getting authorisation for WLAs shoulda maintain a minimum net worth of Rs.100 crore at all times.

All the great team will have their bad day.

They are published around the world, they play for a national team, they made us proud at many a times, they even won the World cups, they know when they are ill, they know when they are struggling, they know when to say good bye. Lets give them their space.

Golden Rules to Avoid Management Crises.

Golden Rules to Avoid Management Crises.

They raise the effective manager’s efficiency when they occur and after they occur:

1- To be a successful manager, you should identify individuals who are outstanding in their performance and behavior and seek to promote their skills.

2- To action can succeed without a definite time program, and a program of action without planning is impossible to implement. You should also place alternatives to avoid crises.

3- It is wrong to seek to solve all problems simultaneously. You should set priorities.

4- You should learn the most important thing about everything. Learn everything about the most important  things in your field of work.

5- To receive observations is part of the manager’s profession and it is proficient to be ready for them and deal with them and encourage, yet it is wrong to accept criticism or an opinion without making a comment or as a matter to be granted.

6- Your strength does not lie in power given to you by your superior. Rather, your influence lies in the acceptance you can get among your colleagues and supervisors.

7- The correct option in the wrong time and the wrong opinion in the right time are both bad and so are decisions.

8- You should expect pressures in work. A successful manager should reduce their effect on crisis occurrence, in cooperation with the team, discipline in work, creativity, high drive for achievement and overcoming insufficient time.

9- The issue is not to face problems, difficulties or losses and the aim is not to make profits or overcome rivals but rather in the final outcome: Is it or not to your benefit? Is this outcome to the benefit of the entity or not?

10- Believe it or not, the problem is not how to deal with the crisis but how to behave after its ends. What are the necessary preventive measures? What are the means and alternatives to resume activity?

The effective manager’s management behavior includes the following points:

•  Closing the door before crisis occurrence.
•  Reducing the opportunities for crisis occurrence.
•  Having indicators of crisis occurrence.
•  Expecting and monitoring signs of crisis occurrence.
•  Facing and reducing the passive aspects of crises and   acting    positively towards them.
•  Having the possibility of getting advantages from crisis occurrence.

The Facebook Effect...

Wondering what these social media can do in our daily life and in our daily business, these days it become's as a part of our daily activities. Every morning - wake up FB Notification check !, then getting up from bed. So, today FB is even in our bed.

How those young people made it, How they made all the global business giants their followers and customers for FB Marketing. Today even the FB Analytic's makes hell a lot of revenue. The FB - Social media plugin makes sense on all the business websites. They speak to general public or even to the targeted segment via FB. The most amazing thing is, a week ago one of the globally listed multinational consulting firm announced its 19th annual general meeting via Facebook before any other media.

In India we are really slow in accepting this huge change in social media, we are still reluctant in having a engaging Facebook page. Fortune 1000 companies has their highest customer engagement through Facebook and Twitter. We make plugins for them as a ITES but not making one for our-self. When we going to make it ? Even the Management Consulting firms releasing their reports saying India has more potential - in terms of Job market, Revenue and Business Opportunities and what not. 

They are doing it again ! Yes, they are. We work for them and we place ourselves in their lock. I wish we Indians should have changed a little earlier - Facebook is not running with out our economy. We Indians mean more than 40% share of Facebook's revenue. Let's encourage it and grow with it. 

Don't just be a user of social platform in Facebook, be a user of the business platform in Facebook.
