5 Recession-Proof Businesses!!!

Luxury Retail

Recession does not affect everybody. In the last recession period, the number of billionaires in the world increased by 20 percent according to Newsweek, and these billionaires do not get affected by recession. These nouveau rich still opt for designer handbags and accessories at big designer houses. However, those designer houses that cater to the aspirational rich and people with modest incomes who like to show the feel of status-symbol brands, fail or suffer

Education

During recession, when several companies chop their employees out, B-School admissions are on a rise.
This is due to several ambitious professionals consider their positions and how best to progress their careers for when the inevitable upswing occurs. This uptick in students means increases demand for college professors, which is another tremendous job opportunity during recession.

Information Technology


Even after the bursting of information technology bubble, which played the key role in the recession of the early 2000s, it is still the fastest growing sector in the world. It is possible just because the IT sector is not confined to tech companies. For example, if you handle a large amount of data, then you will need databases to store the relevant information, network to share it among employees and software to make sense of it all. This not only creates demand for the company's who create these products, but also the in-house tech experts that implement and maintain them.

Healthcare

There is no reason for the illness to take a break during recession. Rather, during recession, some of the branches in this sector see a boom, such as physiatrists and counselors. People are so mentally imbalanced that they seek the help of these professionals to be relived from it.

Internet Marketing

During recession, people tend to go online shopping more than the usual go and buy trend. It is just due to those special offers and discounts that these sites provide. Even you can cut the business expenses, as you do not need to hire a huge chunk of professionals to handle the business at once. It is safe to be where the customers are looking at and almost all internet-marketing strategies require more of your time and less of your money compared to traditional

A Speech of Mukesh Ambani on Modi in PDP Univ

Reliance Industries Limited chairman and managing director Mukesh Ambani praised Gujarat chief minister Narendra Modi for putting Gujarat on the world map. "You have made India and Indians proud by putting Gujarat on the global map.The world is taking note of Gujarat's model and your flawless execution. Gujarat is blessed to have an inspiring leader like you. All I can say is thank you," said Ambani at the second convocation of Pandit Deendayal Petroleum University (PDPU) on Tuesday with Modi also present on the dais.

Ambani president and chairman of PDPU.Ambani addressed the students and said Gujarat needs to take
more innovative steps in the energy sector. "Energy has the highest potential for doing good work today and technology will play an important role. Energy consumption in the world is projected to increase to 17 billion tonnes of crude oil equivalent by 2030.

According to him, India and China would account for one third of global energy consumption. India needs to create six times the energy infrastructure it currently has, he said, adding there is tremendous promise in alternate energy like solar, biofuel and fuel cells.Commenting on the opportunities in research, he told students, "I wish I was 25 years younger and in your place. It reminds me of a time when I felt all impossible things were possible. If an arid land in Jamnagar can be converted into the refining capital of the world and if a sleepy village in Gujarat can become the automotive hub of Asia, I feel anything can be done."The event was also attended by veteran banker and new chairman of Infosys Limited, K V Kamath and chairman of Torrent Group Sudhir Mehta besides other experts from the energy sector.As many as 409 under-graduate and post-graduate students of PDPU's constituent schools - School of Petroleum Technology, School of Petroleum Management and School of Nuclear Energy, were awarded degrees.Modi, who was the chief guest at the convocation, said, "I would like to congratulate Mukesh Ambani for creating a gem like PDPU in Ahmedabad and contributing to the state's human resources.

We do not want to see a world of robots, we want good human resources. Innovation and risk-taking abilities are the road to success." Modi also invited students to incubate at the state government's incubation initiative-icreate, which was launched two weeks ago.

How Popular Tech Companies Got Their Names!

Apple
It was the favorite fruit of Steve Jobs, the founder of Apple, who was three months late in filing the name for his company. He threatened to call his company Apple Computers, if the other colleagues didn't suggest a better name by 5 O'clock. This name helped Apple to distance itself from the other cold, unapproachable, complicated image created by other computers like IBM, DEC and Cincom.
Cisco
The company was founded in San Francisco by Len Bosack, Sandy Lerner, and Richard Triano. The name was derived from the name of the city,

San Francisco. Thus, the company's engineers insisted on using the lower case "cisco" in the early days.

Compaq

The company was founded in 1982 by Rod Canion, Jim Harris, and Bill Murto--who were senior managers in a semiconductor manufacturer Texa

s Instruments. The name "COMPAQ" was said to be derived from "Compatibility and Quality", but it was a name suggested by a name consulting company on several occasions--and it was the one which was not rejected.

Google

Sergey Brin and Larry Page had originally nicknamed their search engine "BackRub" as the system checked backlinks (any link received by

a web node from another web node), to estimate the importance of a site. Eventually, they changed the name to Google, which originated from a misspelling of the word "googol" (the number one followed by one hundred zeros). The name was picked to signify the large quantities of information the search engine wanted to provide to the people.
Hotmail
Hotmail was founded by Sabeer Bhatia and Jack Smith, and was commercially launched in 1996. The name 'Hotmail', was chosen out of many

possibilities ending in '-mail', as it included the letters HTML (the encoding language used by the World Wide Web). Thus, to emphasize it, the original type casing was "HoTMaiL".
Hewlett Packard

The company was founded in Palo Alto, California by Bill Hewlett and Dave Packard. Packard and Hewlett decided the name of the

company (Packard-Hewlett or Hewlett-Packard) by tossing a coin, which Packard won. But, Packard decided to name the company "the Hewlett Packard Company", and the company was incorporated in 1947.

Intel Intel was founded in 1968 in Mountain View, California by Gordon E. Moore, Robert Noyce, and Arthur Rock. Moore and Noyce wanted to call the company "Moore Noyce", but the name was a homophone for "More noise". Noise in electronics refers to bad interference and is very undesirable. Hence, they used the name "NM Electronics" for almost a year before they finalized on "Integrated Electronics-'Intel'" for short. The name "Intel" was already trademarked by Intelco, a chain of hotels; thus, they had to buy the rights for the name. Lotus Lotus was founded in 1982 by Mitch Kapor and Jonathan Sachs. The name was derived from 'The Lotus Position' or "Padmasana", by Kapor, who was a teacher of Transcendental Meditation of Maharishi Mahesh Yogi. Thus, the name "Lotus" referred to the three ways the product could be used--as a spreadsheet, graphics package, and database manager. Microsoft Microsoft was founded by Paul Allen and Bill Gates, who wanted to use a name to represent the company's devotion to MICROcomputer SOF Tware, and named the company "Micro-Soft". The '-' was later removed to form "Microsoft". Motorola Victrola was an internal horn machine, designed by Eldridge R. Johnson, which was later acquired by its Canadian counterpart, Berliner Gramophone of Canada in 1924. William (Bill) Lear and Elmer Wavering--both employees of Galvin Manufacturing Company--developed the first practical car radio, which was named "Motorola" by Paul Galvin (the name is a combination of "motor" and "Victrola"). Paul Galvin purchased the patents to the automotive radio and acquired the rights to their trade name "Motorola".
