This article comes as a necessity to analyze India’s electronics market potential post the recent ‘AtmaNirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make In India’ movements. Though COVID-19 has been a disaster for the economy as well as to the way of life, it has built-up a pedestal to consider local products and reconfigure supply chains to avoid future disruptions. The COVID-19 period has changed the perspective of many due to clearly defined changes in work culture, healthcare, and retail. So much that we can see an increase in the use of keywords — ‘pre-COVID’ and ‘post-COVID’. To get a better overview of what situation we are in and what must be our future moves, I spent a few hours googling and here’s what I found: There is particularly a lot to talk about when we consider a wide topic as 'a market', to limit the complexity this essay only goes through government initiatives and numbers. Future parts will dive more into technologies and desi industries. IBEF: A 2015 India Brand Equ

A short foreword : This is one of the most exhausting projects I have ever undertaken and had to go through a lot of different sources and materials which I'll cite in the footnotes. There are three parts to this post, 1) The framework for thinking about Time and how it's different from the Time we experience and know about as well as some basics required to move further. This is a suggested Read for everyone and leans slightly towards the technical side. 2) The second Post deals with The Thermodynamic arrow of time and one of the main reasons for me to write about the topic. It deals with the Second Law of Thermodynamics, Entropy, and leans heavily towards the technical side. It contains the Physics aspect of the perception of time 3) The third post deals with the Psychological arrow of time and has the human aspect towards the perception of time. This post is written to explore how time is perceived by different individuals. You can skip di

The title was made to be a bit enticing to the reader, the arrow of time we'll deal with in this post is the Psychological Arrow of Time . Imagine if the universe we lived in had no entropy at all. We wouldn't be subjected to the experience of the flow of time and grow old if we were in say Never-land, would we still have the ability to differentiate the past from the present? If everything seemed the same day in and day out? As a matter of fact, yes! Even in the hypothetical Never-land of ours, we'd be subjected to the experience of flow of time. This happens because of another interesting phenomenon called the Psychological arrow of time. This is how we inherently experience time, we differentiate between the past and the present because of things called Memories . They help us remember our actions in the past. Let's look at another interesting phenomenon, everyone knows we were once all babies, none of us remember most things about being one, hence that part of our p

In the last post we talked about Time, specifically Arrows of Time and how they are different from each other. This post will be all about one of the directions of time or one of the arrows of time, that is: Thermodynamic arrow  of time. This is one of the Physics perspective of arrows of time. So let's get some basics out of the way: Entropy:  Entropy really helps us understand the Thermodynamic arrow of time. It is also often times really confusing  to understand entropy.  Entropy of any system is the measure of amount of energy which is unavailable to do work.  Two words that are important: Unavailability of energy and System. Let's look at them closely; Unavailability of    energy:  This just means unavailability of thermal energy or energy which can  be converted into work. This fits in perfectly with our topic "decay". As we go further into this it is  found that entropy of our universe increases (more on this later). Imagine ice which melts into water or  air l
