Air India cuts Costs

With Air India working on it's cost cutting activity, it is just the beginning of an exercise that almost every airline industry will consider. With the increased fuel costs, this is an important step to consider for every air-carrier company.

The most important question is, How will this affect the consumer? This would implt that the operating costs of Air India will come down leading to an increase in their operational profits (in the long run though). This will be shifted to the consumers gradually. How soon this happens is yet to be seen because taking such a step for cutting down on costs will take a long time.
With Reliance Industries cutting costs, and AI now coming into the picture for the same, these are the measures which will benefit the consumer certainly. After all, consumer is the King and the companies have to do everything that they can to lure a consumer to choose their product or service over the others.

Reliance goes stingy

Reliance Industries Ltd. is working on cost-cutting exercise. Nothing new for any organisation, but what is strange is the way it is planning to do it. From unnecessary travel, stationery use, to as stringent as the number of times an employee can sip a cup of coffee/tea.
It's good to know that RIL is also working on cutting down costs because every employee in RIL knows the amount of money that goes wasted due to no proper check. Organisations should also be taking care of the employees and ensure that cost-cutting takes place only for the right division. Cutting down on coffee and tea for RIL, considering the fact that they dont lure their employees as much as other organisations do, this is certainly holding back on the basic amenities on their employees.
Organisations should certainly think about taking up measures like this by considering what competition has in store for their employees. Not to mention about the brand equity, will this not lead to employee-dissatisfaction?
