Yet India is also home to some of the world’s most sophisticated technology firms, and is now considered the next "Silicon Valley."

A glimpse of the Indian economy:

• Even after independence from British rule, large-scale poverty remains the most shameful blot on the face of India.

Therefore, training is a critical investment and a good way to hang on to the best of our teams. But how do we make sure that the training we implement is effective? And since quite a number of us invest in staff training, the question that we frequently ask and should be asking is "Is it worth every penny?"

Meanwhile, the human resource (HR) or training department will argue that training is essential to the organization’s survival. They will fight for every last penny that the company can spare just to train staff in necessary skills.

So who’s right? Perhaps, it is not advisable to merely side with one party. Or, more precisely, there may be a better way or a win-win solution. How?
