As digitalisation and the ageing population trends advance, international mobility and the development of employable skills are crucial to balance demographic gaps and surpluses as well as the deficit of skills across the world.
For employers, mobility no longer means merely traditional expatriate placements, but moving jobs to where talented people are located.
For millennials especially, mobility has become a key factor in selecting a potential career path and in choosing an appropriate employer.
Countries which favour openness and the mobility of skilled talent secure the development of more diverse and culturally rich work environments, a higher level of innovation, as well as entrepreneurship and wider international networks.
A small foot in China, no different from a tiny waist in Victorian England, represented the height of female refinement. For families with marriageable daughters, foot size translated into its own form of currency and a means of achieving upward mobility. The most desirable bride possessed a three-inch foot, known as a 'golden lotus.'
As I have often said, acceptance of the idea of shared mobility is going to be one of the major disruptive trends in the automotive industry.
Shared ownership will always mean that you will never sell as many cars as might have been sold without shared mobility... if people are sharing cars, then obviously you are going to sell less cars than would have been sold otherwise. But it doesn't mean that you will have a deceleration in private cars; it just means that the growth will be lower.
Branding in electric mobility is critical, but I think what Tesla has also demonstrated is that you can build new brands.
Mahindra's brand strategy is about niches across areas of mobility.
My wife and I have been passionate about education being a gateway for upward mobility and equality.
