#WorldWaterDay Getting access to clean and fresh water is a necessity of life. But the possibility of water being scarce is a big concern. On the occasion of World Water Day, it’s about time we all pledge together to use the water available to us with responsibility and work towards saving it. Here are my top three tips on how to save water – • Install individual water meters; this can be done on multi-family apartment units. • Water your plants in the morning, this will not let the water evaporate quickly. • Reuse the cooking water used for boiling vegetables instead of throwing them away. • Go for a low-flow showerhead, it supplies relatively lesser water than other showerheads. . . www.VivekMendonsa.com Clickable link in bio . . #VivekMendonsa #WorldWaterDay #SaveWater #LawrenceandMayo #Lynx #Respect #Recognition #Business #Successful #BusinessLeader #Advisor #Philanthropist #Mentor #MotivationalSpeaker #Inspiration

In 1991, I was just 21 years and was rubbing shoulders with mentors like Mr. K Padmanabhaiah & Dr. P. Navin Kumar. In 1992, through Dr. P Navin Kumar, Mr. K Padmanabhaiah planted a tree sapling. 4 years later coincidentally, at around 4:30 pm I saw a tall lanky figure entering Colaba woods. It was Mr. K Padmanabhaiah who had come to check if his sapling was still there. During those 4 years, I took regular rounds and saw that each sapling was maintained by the gardener. I have been blessed to be trained by great leaders like Dr. P Navin Kumar and K Padmanabhaiah. My respects and salutes to both of them. A note about Mr. K. Padmanabhaiah (b. 1938) is a retired Indian civil servant and a former Home Secretary of India. He is the chairman of the Court of Governors of the Administrative Staff College of India and has headed many government committees such as the Committee on Police Reforms (2000), the Committee on Reorganization of the Services Selection Board, and the Committee to Review the working of National Institute of Urban Management. The Government of India awarded him the third highest civilian honour of the Padma Bhushan, in 2008, for his contributions to Indian civil service. . . www.VivekMendonsa.com Clickable link in bio . . #VivekMendonsa #Padmanabhaiah #NavinKumar #Legends #Saluting #LawrenceandMayo #Lynx #Respect #Recognition #Business #Successful #BusinessLeader #Advisor #Philanthropist #Mentor #MotivationalSpeaker #Inspiration

#FrugalMarketing Frugal marketing has received quite a lot of attention over the past few years. But what tricks and techniques that a frugal marketer needs to adopt to achieve faster results? Sharing one of them in this series. An important principle, frugal marketers shouldn’t forget is – Letting the product speak for itself. The company should spend considerable time and effort on creating a product that is distinct by itself and guarantees the result, it promises. By doing so, you also save the money spent on sales and advertising. Here customers who have already used your product will be spreading the word amongst their circles. With a well-defined distinct brand that stands out, you need not do the talking, rather your product will. . . www.VivekMendonsa.com Clickable link in bio . . #VivekMendonsa #FrugalMarketing #FG #Respect #Recognition #Business #Successful #BusinessLeader #Advisor #Philanthropist #Mentor #MotivationalSpeaker #Inspiration
