Worked for RBI for over 25 years and feeling happy and content at having shaped communication function for the central bank.

@hdfcmf This is good. Making investments related information accessible in true sense

[HDFC Mutual Fund @hdfcmf]

Every parent dreams of giving their child the best education, opportunities and freedom to follow their dreams.

This International Day of Sign Languages, we are launching a financial learning platform under our Investor Education and Awareness initiative, Bharosa. The platform brings mutual fund information in Indian Sign Language (ISL), creating an opportunity for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community to learn, explore and make informed financial choices.

Watch the film and explore the Bharosa platform:

@WestlandBooks @amithpr @Sourikka A great event.
A series of books on communication profession is a great service to the PR industry. Students would benefit the most, I hope.
Thank you Amithji and Sarika

@dugalira @jaysh88 In that context, AMFI’s communication is very good. Regulators should take a lead out of it and regulate first mover advantage. Fintechs can also take a leaf out of this and set up an SRO quickly so that the regulator can be rest assured of good behaviour from players.

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@dugalira @jaysh88 So they will be the first ones to withdraw their funds. At that time there is no RBI restriction on withdrawal of money too. So they can take out everything leaving barely anything for the depositors!

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@dugalira @jaysh88 It is so common in banking, especially when it comes to cooperative banks. The board is the first one to know through RBI’s inspection report which goes to them for comments and corrective action.

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@dugalira @jaysh88 I think first mover advantage means whoever comes to know about the weaknesses, will get their money out leaving hardly anything or nothing for those who come in later.

@jay_kotakone Excellent story. Scintillatingly written. Would be hungry for more!

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@TamalBandyo @RBI @IndiaPostOffice May be the communication has not reached that far yet!

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@TamalBandyo @APanagariya Glad to see that no government meddles with esteemed organisations like Finance Commission, RBI and all other regulators…

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@TamalBandyo Absolutely. Ninan’s analysis of current economic and political issues always gave me a new perspective. I am a die hard fan of this column and Ninan’s writing. Will miss it.

@menakadoshi @dugalira True. 3 year term is short for any long term agenda. That’s why Dr. Jalan got 5 year term for Dr. Reddy. Option of removing errant leader earlier also there - difficult for rbi governor but possible for bank chairmen. Three year term is renewable; though there is uncertainty…

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@pujamehra I completely agree. After more than 30 years of reforms that did away with licence raj, India doesn’t need to go back to the corruption route.

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@dugalira Very interesting story Ira. Thanks for posting. For a moment I thought it’s your own experience with NYT on its way!!! 😄

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

One proud moment today. Got my bro-in-law’s iPad back at Bhubaneshwar airport. Thanks to vigilant efforts of CISF. Especially Sub Inspector Chandra Sekhar Nahak. Thank you! @CISFHQrs

@NileshShah68 Goodness!
But brilliant post

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@dugalira Ha ha ha
So typical of TCA!!

[Alpana, The Communicator @alpanak007]

@NileshShah68 The messaging will have to be so strong that they really wake up with a jolt. Only then we will learn what is good civic sense.
