Editor’s Note
E Right Endeavour for Safeguarding the Environment
nvironmental Pollution is a major hazard that the world is facing right now and citizens are more aware now that a clean environment is necessary for the survival and smooth functioning of humankind. Major health issues posed by the current pandemic has already threatened the entire healthcare system. There is no further scope for a tolerance of any more health hazards. Recently, when the entire country was passing with a critical period of lockdown, you might have noticed that people of the waste management industry were in service for all time. It came under essential services that can never be stopped. Few brands have emerged to succeed in fighting against environmental pollution in a big way by providing integrated solid waste management solutions. Also, electronic waste management, involving the collection and recycling is equally important. India’s leading waste management companies with their designer and engineering solutions have pledged to safeguard the environment with their robust equipment. Their ultimate aim is to reduce the adverse impact on the environment. The main goal of the waste management system is to offer simple, straightforward, transparent, and sustainable methods to recycle and manage E-waste and electronic assets. The process includes collecting all types of IT, electronics, electrical, media, and communications equipment. The other processes are making advanced use of IT, electronics, electrical, media, and communications equipment. Great thanks to waste management companies utilizing advanced, indigenous technologies with their capable and dedicate workforce are working with a neverending commitment for safeguarding the environment. It is really necessary to create great awareness among society for the need to recycle- E-waste is a very eco-friendly way and quick adoption of sustainable technology disposal policies for a greener and safer planet to offer for the coming generation. This edition is about an emerging brand in the field of “Pollution control”. It is the onestop solution for pollution at all levels. The company is working with its efficient team of employees passionately with Environmental Compliance and fulfilling the client requirements to the satisfactory level. In the end, I would like to thanks all team members of Prime Insights to show their endeavor to maintain consistency in the work and inspiring the whole team to stay blessed during this threatening period of the pandemic. All the best for the rest of the year.

Toshiba-Exceptional Success Story of a Brand in the World of Electronics
L
ife in this digital era would have been vulnerable if we didn’t have access to communication equipment to transfer signals, medical equipment to carry out surgeries, and most importantly, power systems to fuel up the machines. Moreover, amongst the growing advancement in electronic products, Toshiba, a Japanese multinational corporation, has sailed the world through a wave of premiere wide-ranging devices, starting from household appliances to social infrastructure systems. Toshiba has its headquarters based in Tokyo, Japan, with a robust number of subsidiaries. Wisdom and experience always bring something special to the table. Toshiba remained numero uno in
the industry of manufacturing over the decades. The extremely rich heritage of the company dates back to the 19th century when the brand played a major role in the industrialization of Japan. Toshiba is an exceptional success story and a shining example of vision and grit.
Early Days for Toshiba
18
The historic yet consequential journey of Toshiba began in 1873 when the Ministry of Engineering recognized the need to modernize Japan and provided Hisashige Tanaka with the capital required to produce telegraphic equipment. He established Tanaka Engineering Works (which was later renamed as Shibaura Engineering
Works). The company also produced various electrical devices like switches for communication systems. The company, later, came under the supervision of Tanaka’s adopted son. The foundation started taking off gradually when Ichisuke Fujioka established Hakunetsu-sha Co Ltd in 1890 (which was later known as Tokyo Electric Company Ltd) to produce light bulbs in Japan itself so they won’t have to import them from foreign countries.
Warner helped build a reputation when they developed a path-breaking DVD format. It soon became the new standard of quality in the industry. The company created Japan’s first TAC digital computer followed by transistor television, microwave oven color video phone, MRI system, DVD, and sub-notebook personal computer. These are some of the few inventions, which were instrumental in helping the company pioneer the electronics industry. The company was plagued by a class-action lawsuit concerning alleged faulty floppy disk drives, but the case was settled to prevent further adverse publicity.
Growth Phase
After the death of Tanaka in 1881, General Electric partly acquired Tanaka Seisakusho. This is followed by the acquisition of the company by Mitsui Bank in 1893, renaming it as Shibaura Seisakusho. Shibaura Seisakusho and Hakunetsu-Sha Co Ltd, both were at their best phase when the Great Kanto earthquake hit the city and took away several lives. Several employees of these two companies fall victim to this calamity, and hence, suffered a major loss. During the 1930s, the government banned the production of home appliances and shifted its interest to make war equipment. In the year 1939, Tokyo Denki (previously known as Hakunetsu-Sha) and Shibaura Seisakusho were merged to form Tokyo Shibaura Denki (now Toshiba) with General Electric Company holding 24% share. During the world war, Toshiba mainly supplied radios and generators. However, after the war ended, it had to face many difficulties. In the post-war era, production slowly recovered and sales increased as Toshiba developed a new technology, expanded factories, and built new production units. International sales were also gradually rising.
Success continues
In 2001, to meet the increasing demand in the North American market, Toshiba signed an agreement with Orion Electric to supply TV and video products for the company. In the year 2006, Toshiba made one of the greatest acquisitions in the history of the company by acquiring Westinghouse Electric Company, the world’s largest nuclear power company for $5.4 billion. In 2009, Toshiba bought the Hard Disk Drive business of Fujitsu. In 2011, Toshiba announced the acquisition of Landis+Gyr for $2.3 billion, followed by the acquisition of IBM’s point-of-sale business $850 million. In December 2013, Toshiba established its manufacturing unit in India after acquiring Vijai Electricals Limited Plant, Hyderabad, India. In January 2014, Toshiba acquired OCZ Storage Solutions, and in the same year, Toshiba and United Technologies came in a joint venture and diversified it outside Japan. Since then, Toshiba has acquired many other companies, and even, faced numerous scandals. The company sold Westinghouse as it suffered a wide loss in 2017.
Expansion Phase
Toshiba entered an expansion phase when, around 1973, they decided that they need to grow further. With a sole aim to develop advanced technology, they invested heavily in the R&D department. After a few years, the company introduced the first one-megabyte DRAM memory chip. They also began producing laptops or personal computers. The continued sojourn of determination was not without a due share of setbacks. It was a disaster for the company in 1987 when the US Senate banned the import of Toshiba products. The US discoveredthat a half-owned Toshiba subsidiary was selling submarine sound-deadening equipment to the Soviet Union. Toshiba seized the opportunity and instead of wallowing in self-pity, they expanded to other global markets. During the 1990s, the company started further new firms, including Toshiba Music Industries, Toshiba International Corporation, Toshiba Electrical Equipment, Toshiba Chemical, and many more. It was also responsible for developing some of Japan’s first electronics. In 1995, Toshiba’s partnership with Time
At present, Toshiba produces one of the finest electronic products and services in the entire world and is getting stronger day by day. Around 140,000 employees as per the statistics of 2019 work in the company. It believes in creating products that are more efficient in the future and thrives for excellence.

CEO’s mandatory efforts for empowering next generation of start-ups
P
offering outplacement services, yet with the job market in freefall, we need to offer alternative options for people, one in which they can create their future by building a startup. This process is tried and tested. Nokia was faced with making over 40,000 job cuts a decade ago. It opened centers in Europe, India and the US to help those faced with redundancy to find a new job, either in the company or outside of it. It had also formed an entrepreneurial stream for employees and named it ‘Bridge’. Ever since it has been formed, Bridge has helped over 1000 startups get their beginning. The bridge scheme is credited for fuelling the rise of the Finnish tech ecosystem, which includes success stories like Supercell and Rovio. The current economic climate is not propitious for startup success and this has kept many CEOs worried. However, they couldn’t be more wrong. When you look back across history, you will find several large companies that have started during times of economic downturns and that’s not a coincidence. Look at the recent examples of Uber and Airbnb. These startups are not the only ones – companies like Microsoft, Disney, and IBM were all founded during deep recessions. It is just because times of rapid disruption provide ample opportunities for startups to take advantage. COVID-19 has presented a perfect
ost COVID-19 pandemic, this world needs startup more than ever for their innovative solutions to pervasive problems, both big and small. But to make sure that this generation, and future generations, of new startups, have what it takes to take up major issues, the world also needs CEOs who can enable the next generation of startups. During these times of global crisis, CEOs are focused on two things – cash flow and runway. Due to some catalytic events such as Covid-19, years of activity is condensed into weeks. Hence, the CEOs across the world need to make time-critical decisions that will make the difference between the company thriving or surviving, all under an incredible intense timeline. It has been estimated by International Labour Organization (ILO) that nearly 400 million full-time jobs have been lost in the world in the year’s second quarter (April-June 2020) due to the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic. The labor organization has also pointed out that job losses in Africa were much more than its earlier estimates, while many more working hours were lost in Asia than earlier predictions. Many companies are implementing cost-cutting measures, including redundancy, due to the pressures of COVID-19. We can see that world over, companies are looking to ease the transition of departing talent by

opportunity and is reshaping every industry, which lowers barriers to entry and provides huge opportunities for startups to tackle new consumer demands.
• Building Partnership: If you are investing in startups you need to make sure that the program is supported with a partnership that will provide the best experience for your people to maximize success. Purchasing a course of Udemy or having an hour’s discussion with a startup coach from an outplacement firm isn’t going to move the needle. Entrepreneurs wanting to build new startups need access to the right training, coaching, and mentoring to develop the right skillset and mindset as well as being given the right kind of introductions to early-stage VCs and Angel investors. • Communicate: This is a prominent strategy and can be used to attract new talent, build stronger relations with the communities and customers. Therefore, you need to have a communication plan to share the impact of this scheme with key internal and external stakeholders, showing that you believe in your employees when they leave the organization just as much as you did when they joined. • Objective: Remember, this is not about unicorn building, but empowering your people to create their future. In the case of the Nokia program, a third was focused on building high-growth startups but two-thirds used it to launch their freelance career or pivot into a new industry altogether. Many People think that timing is the most important factor in success, and whilst that might feel counterintuitive right now, COVID-19 is providing the perfect timing. Global CEOs have the opportunity to play a leading role in reshaping this future, not only through the people the company retains but also in the people it has to let go.
There are several key factors which can help CEOs to pioneer the alternative options to make this a success: • Collaboration within the company: The best startups are those founded with teams that have complementary skill sets – but in a corporate environment the chances are people who work in tech development don’t know sales colleagues, etc. because they work, for example, in different locations. Thus, you need to create a space where employees can meet, make connections, and potentially form teams around common problems they want to solve. During COVID-19, this can be done virtually. However, the key is just to ensure that people correctly identify their skill set and areas of interest. • Involvement with your staffers: You need to be clear on the degree of your involvement – are you prepared to offer access to unused IP, assets or data, or are you just presenting the opportunity to develop the skills and mindset for ex-staff to create a startup, or are you willing to invest in ideas that could help solve your challenges? In the case of Nokia, the company had allocated a fund, and its program enabled ex-staff to pitch for seed capital of €25,000, with up to four exemployees being able to combine to access a potential pool of €100,000. The company, however, needs to build a system for clear governance and measurement, but it also means that the corporate can reap the reward for startup successes.
