Reading some future trends

Some trends: Freshly fried (to be elaborated)
Manoj Kothari

Unorganized will become Organized
Sectors: Agriculture, retail, accessories, construction, jewelry, home services, wellness
Current scenario, % of market in unorganizedà predicted shift to organized
Statistics of productivity gain /loss for becoming organized
World statistics US/Europe how does it fare?


Organized will become Aggregate Monoliths
Sectors: Steel, Consumer gadgets, dairy products, software,
Move to the next consolidation (rule of 3-4)
Recent acquisitions


Monoliths will give way to paradigm shattering start-ups
Sectors: Entertainment, telephony, transportation, hospitality, health


Social mobility will thrive on pseudo adoptions
What seems out of place for a section, will increasingly become adorable i.e. car owner in a slum, vegetable vendor with a mobile camera phone, a software engineer with private aeroplane.

Pseudo Icons to show prosperity. society would need more pseudo-icons for show of prosperity.


Old time social elites would move to ‘luxurious naturalism’
Excess of indulgence would give way to ‘lost touch’. Recall of the elements, with out losing the touch of cushion.


New social elites would move to ‘middle-class kingdom’
Extend the kingdom they owned. Make it ‘posh’. Bring the ‘royal extravagance’ and ‘arrogance’.


India would become a verbal society?
Tacit cognizance and symbolic communication on which Indian society flourished till now, will increasingly become verbal. Verbal because there are no more gaps left in mind-space. There are no reserves….We are spending ahead of our income.


All that is remixed, will have a techno tweak…
From clothing to music to ambience…the next tweak is digital, heavily impacted by newly discovered technology.


All that is classic, will have a ‘happy wrapper’
Amzad Ali Khan’s sarod recital, on you-tube..but a clip that only lasts a few minutes, who has got a time for 3 hrs?

Space, will be biggest differentiater
Cut the clutter…leave large margins; visibility due to size; visibility due to missing slab, missing articulation, missing perfection, missing notes…


Still on……..
