BSNL视人力资源转型为转折点
在2022年至2032年的10年期间，平均每年将有近2000名员工退休，这使该公司成为一个更专注于与私营行业企业——Reliance Jio、Bharti Airtel和Vodafone Idea——竞争的组织。

孟买:之一信实工业公司上周，该公司位于孟买郊区的办公室异常繁忙。原因:第二批10家初创公司加入了该国最大的私营企业与微软风投(Microsoft Ventures)合作开展的为期4个月的加速项目，通过指导和基础设施支持来帮助它们扩大业务规模，交流技术和想法。
一个月前，由Aditya Birla集团尽管规模较小。
印度大型家族企业，其中一些直到大约一年前还在争论是否值得进入数字领域，现在正忙着制定和实施加入数字经济并获得利润的战略利用来自持续的创业热潮。如果你回顾一下过去10至15年的大企业集团历史，你会发现许多行业已经过时，”信实工业(Reliance industries)旗下风险投资部门GenNext Ventures管理合伙人维韦克•拉伊•古普塔(Vivek Rai Gupta)表示。他说:“对于大公司来说，无论他们在做什么，都必须把创新融入其中。”
Reliance Industries、Aditya Birla Group和RPG (RP Goenka) Group等公司都希望投资于离自己业务更近的初创公司，而一些企业家族，比如JindalsJSW集团以个人身份投资创业公司。
除了加速计划，信实工业还寻求与更成熟的初创企业和企业家合作，这些企业在与该集团业务相关的领域有前景的想法。它通过GenNext Ventures支持了Covascis、Ecorithim和Videonetics等初创公司，GenNext Ventures拥有20亿卢比的资金，并在收购Network18集团后拥有旅游门户网站Yatra和电影票预订网站BookMyShow。
在信实的GenNext创新中心(GenNext Innovation Hub)运营的初创企业数量在一年内翻了两番，达到40家，其中10家参加了加速器项目。
与此同时，哈什·戈恩卡(Harsh goenka)领导的RPG集团正在物色健康服务、能源和可持续发展、生活方式和汽车服务领域的创业公司，除了获得他们的人才、技术和营销渠道外，目的是为该集团创造新的业务。
RPG管理委员会成员萨钦•南高卡(Sachin Nandgaonkar)表示:“我们需要利用这种流失为自己创造一些新业务。”“我们的重点是增强投资组合，而不是创造财富，我们希望入股那些既能在战略上影响决策，又能让创始人保持合理兴趣的初创公司。”
该集团在6月至8月期间评估了至少50份提案，并有意获得种子或a轮融资级别的少数股权。
信实工业和RPG集团都明确表示，至少目前他们不打算收购任何初创公司，因为这会把创始人变成员工，扼杀创新所需的文化。
专家将家族企业对初创企业和数字领域日益增长的兴趣归因于该国一些新时代企业的惊人成功，以及新一代在商业家族中的影响力。Aditya Birla私人股本前主管巴拉特•班卡(Bharat Banka)表示:“在过去两、三年里，大企业集团已经意识到，要想留住、获取和服务客户，包括管理社交媒体，数字必须成为业务不可或缺的一部分。”班卡目前为多家企业提供咨询服务。
他说，数字和创业生态系统对拥有零售、电信和金融服务业务的大企业来说很重要。班卡表示:“这些领域的公司在采用和实现这一技术方面起步较慢，但他们财力雄厚。”

塔塔斯(Tatas)、马欣达斯(mahindra)和Aditya Birla Group等大企业集团都推出了销售内部产品的网站，就连印度电信等电商巨头Flipkart公司而且Snapdeal凭借不断飙升的业务和估值，在线下竞争对手面前抢先一步。此外，许多商业家族的后代(其中许多人在国外接受教育，比他们的父母更精通技术)相信未来是数字化的。
“我认为印度的下一代财富不会由实体企业创造;它将非常依赖互联网，”jsw老板Sajjan Jindal的儿子Parth Jindal说。
JSW集团计划利用创业公司空间，使其钢铁和水泥等周期性业务多样化，创造财富。“随着所有这些4G平台的出现，该国的移动渗透率只会增加，”年轻的金达尔说，他将领导该集团的业务。10亿美元的风险基金。专家说，印度公司仍在尝试早期阶段投资不愿意投入数十亿美元。“对于最大的企业集团来说，创建另一个Flipkart是不可能的，因为所需的资金数量他们必须考虑10次。因此，他们正试图在自己的投资组合中孵化下一个Flipkart，”风险投资家萨莎·米尔查达尼(Sasha Mirchandani)说，他的家族拥有消费电子公司Onida。
Greyhound Research首席分析师兼首席执行官桑基特•梵尔•戈吉亚(Sanchit Vir Gogia)表示，尽管风险投资家正在转向大额融资，但大企业集团正在用中小规模的融资填补这一空间。“大企业集团在努力，但集团里有一些传统的领导人，他们认为这场演出应该如何进行。这些都是年轻的公司，需要一种不同的心态来处理问题。否则就是徒劳无功。”

MUMBAI: ![\"Big](\"https:\/\/st.etb2bimg.com\/Themes\/Release\/images\/responsive\/ettelecom-default.jpg\")
One of Reliance Industries<\/a>' offices in suburban Mumbai became unusually busy last week. The Reason: a second batch of 10 startups joined the country's largest private firm's four-month acceleration programme, run in partnership with Microsoft Ventures, to help them scale up operations through mentoring and infrastructure support in exchange of technology and ideas.
A month ago, a similar initiative was launched by Aditya Birla Group<\/a>, albeit at a smaller scale.
Big Indian family business houses, some of which were still debating whether it's worth foraying into the digital space till about a year ago, are now busy chalking out and implementing strategies to join the digital economy and get leverage<\/a> from the ongoing startup boom. If you look at the history of conglomerates in the last 10-15 years many industries have become obsolete,\" said Vivek Rai Gupta, managing partner at GenNext Ventures, the venture capital arm of Reliance Industries. \"It is imperative for large corporations to build innovation into whatever they are doing,\" he said.

<\/div><\/div>While corporate houses such as Reliance Industries, Aditya Birla Group and RPG (RP Goenka) Group are looking to invest in startups closer to their businesses, some business families, like the Jindals of JSW Group<\/a>, invest in startups in their personal capacity.
Apart from the acceleration programme, Reliance Industries also looks to work with more mature startups and entrepreneurs with promising ideas in areas relevant to the conglomerate's operations. It has backed startups such as Covascis, Ecorithim and Videonetics through GenNext Ventures, which has a war chest of Rs 200 crore, and owns travel portal Yatra and movies ticket booking site BookMyShow after its acquisition of the Network18 Group.
The number of startups operating in Reliance's GenNext Innovation Hub has quadrupled in one year to 40, including 10 enrolled in the accelerator programme.
The Harsh Goenka-led RPG Group, meanwhile, is scanning startups in health services, energy and sustainability, lifestyle and automotive services businesses, with an aim to create new businesses for the group, apart from accessing their talent, technology and marketing channels.
\"We need to use this churn to create few new businesses for us,\" said Sachin Nandgaonkar, management board member at RPG. \"Our focus is portfolio enhancement, not wealth creation, and we want to buy stakes in startups that we will allow us strategically influence decisions but keep the founders reasonably interested.\"

<\/div><\/div>The group has evaluated at least 50 proposals between June and August and is interested in minority stakes at Seed or Series-A funding level.
Both Reliance Industries and RPG Group made it clear that they don't plan to acquire any startups at least for now, because this would turn founders into employees and kill the culture required for innovation.
Experts attribute family businesses' increasing interest in startups and the digital space in general to the stunning success of some new-age enterprises in the country as well as the influence of the new generation within business families. \"In the past two-three years, conglomerates have realised that digital has to be an integral part of the business to retain, acquire and service customers, including management of social media,\" said Bharat Banka, for mer head of Aditya Birla Private Equity, who is now advising various business houses.
He said digital and startup ecosystem will be important for conglomerates who have businesses in retail, telecom and financial services. \"Companies in these segments have been slow starters in adoption and realisation, but they have big pockets,\" Banka said.

\u00a0<\/div> Conglomerates such as the Tatas, Mahindras and Aditya Birla Group have launched websites to sell inhouse products even as ecommerce majors such as Flipkart<\/a> and Snapdeal<\/a> stole a march over offline rivals with soaring business and valuations. Also scions of many business families, many of whom are educated abroad and more tech savvy than their parents, believe the future is digital.
\"I think the next generation of wealth in India is not going to be created by brick and mortar business; it's going to be very internet dependent,\" said Parth Jindal, son of JSW-owner Sajjan Jindal.
JSW Group plans to tap the startup space to diversify its cyclical businesses of steel and cement and create wealth. \"With all these 4G platforms coming up, the mobile penetration in the country is only going to increase,\" said the young Jindal who will lead the group's . 100-crore venture fund.` Experts said India Inc is still looking to just dip its toes with early stage investments<\/a> in startups, and not willing to commit billions of dollars. \"For the biggest conglomerate to create another Flipkart is impossible, because the amount of capital required they will have to think 10 times. So they are trying to incubate the next Flipkart in their own portfolios,\" said venture capitalist Sasha Mirchandani, whose family owns consumer electronics firm Onida.
Sanchit Vir Gogia, chief analyst and chief executive at Greyhound Research, said that while venture capitalists are moving to bigger-ticket funding, conglomerates are filling up the space with small or mid-ticket funding. \"Conglomerates are trying, but there are these traditional leaders from the group about how this show should be done. These are young companies and need a different mindset of handling. Otherwise it is be a useless exercise,\u201d he said.
