Hi Friends,
I have been hearing a lot about "lala" companies lately, and nowadays, they are also offering great emoluments, sometimes even better than those offered by MNCs. I have created a small file outlining the characteristics of a "lala" company. Please share your thoughts and provide a more precise definition of what a "lala" company is.

Good article. Hope it is your own original work. There is one point you missed; invariably there are separate and exclusive sets of toilets and other conveniences, including parking or dining spaces.

What is a MNC company?
Let me put down my thoughts there will obviously be some variance from the stated principles, but in general, I think most of them will fit the general situations. This of-course is work in progress and can use some refinement, so if you have some opinions to refine and make this better, please provide your inputs and I will share credit for the definition.
• If you work for a company where the promoter is a Foreigner preferably White Skin and speaks English with a Non Indian Accent, who has the maximum stake and started the company, worked really hard (bribed) to get the business established in India, put money with no risk as he knew he can reap thousand times profit, then you work for a MNC company.
• If your company is staffed by promoters who are also white skinned and speak English in non Indian accent and are expected to be on Business tours worldwide, then you work for a MNC company.
• If you work for a company where the top management team abuses you only in English and no other regional language, Infact the Abuse is such that some words needs to be referred to the Oxford Dictionary for meanings, and makes you feel like a Perfect Slave from African continent, you work for a MNC company.
• If you work for company where the Pay is decided more on what your Supervisor fills in rather than on your actual work, where considerable time is spent on forms and papers to assess your work with all inputs of the managers and also the Dhobi and watchman, you work for a MNC company.
• If you work for a company where White skinned Non Indian People take all the decisions, you don't know what the decisions are and work on what has been given to you; you work for a MNC company.
• If there is one employee for one job vacancy but is expected to report to 10 different Managers and also do their jobs if required, you work for a MNC company.

Very good definition of both Lala and MNC companies. I want to add one common point for both: If an MNC company is not investing in the training/development of its employees, it is worse than a Lala company. However, if a Lala company provides opportunities for growth and invests in its employees' learning and development, it is much better than an MNC. Jai Hind, Jai Bharat.

@Adishsharma@Rediffmail.com - Thanks for the appreciation. MNC culture has been prevalent on a large scale only since the 1990s after liberalization. I guess none of our grandfathers or maybe even fathers ever worked for MNCs. So, should we insult them by referring to them as working for "Lala Companies"? I myself have worked in top MNCs in India and have never been swayed by their perks like toilets and tissue paper. They might prefer to wipe, but we are better off washing. Moreover, at least the MNCs are more patriotic by generating revenues here for their country. MNCs see an opportunity for big business here, so they operate here.
I do agree there is room for improvement in Indian companies, but the same case applies to MNCs as well. The scenario explained by Shri Shri Aditya and seconded by a super moderator (pathetic) is unwarranted. Maybe the case applies to "Table Chair Companies" and not otherwise. Scarce resources in small businesses exist everywhere in the world and are not limited only to India or Indians. In fact, many MNCs depend heavily on such Indian companies and Indians for their revenues because of our low cost of production, vast population, and consumption.
Indian companies may be disorganized, but they are a means of providing employment and income to lakhs of Indian people, and that is important. One should try and see how small companies operate in the West before making fun of Indian employers, no matter how small scale they operate. The European Union is in crisis, the US is facing unemployment, Wall Street has burst, and unrest exists in Africa. At least in India, such companies are providing employment to locals and supporting livelihoods. It is thanks to such Indian companies that there is a source of employment and livelihood for fellow Indian brothers and sisters. Jai Hind. Jai Bharat!

Hi Friends,
One more trait I would like to add to Lala Company is: Your appraisal is done based on your flattery and loyalty to the employer (not employees), or how pleasant you are, but your performance does not count for much. You should be able to work for the employer's welfare, not the employees.

Hi friends,
One more trait I would like to add to an MNC company is that your appraisal is done based on your flattery and loyalty to your immediate supervisor (unfortunately, not your white-skinned globe-trotting gora). It can also be related to how pleasant you are to your immediate supervisor, but your performance does not count for much.
You should be able to work for at least 10 different managers and be concerned about their professional as well as domestic welfare.

I am the MD of a MNC and I find the above views interesting, here are my comments...
Aditya84tiwari and 28677...... , I assume you are working for a Lala/MNC, therefore why are you not working for what you are paid for, instead of compiling entertainment files and wasting precious resource (time) on the internet. If, on the other hand you do not work for such an organisation, then perhaps you should. However, I suspect that with your attitude to the hand that ensures you are fed, a position would not be offered.
I find some of the comments downright insulting and if this is what my staff feel then I would be happy to accept their resignations with immediate effect. So that you are aware, I am of Indian origin, I have no family or ties to India, therefore, I am a foreigner, whilst I do not have white skin, and I only speak English with a Non- Indian accent. I was not born with a silver spoon, indeed I was accepted by the UK as a refugee from Africa, with only the clothes on my back.
I have worked really hard to build the company (and continue to do so), risked my own money and NEVER paid a bribe, (or received one), even in India. To reap thousand times profit, as you suggest, only happens when you deal with corrupt INDIAN politicians. Like most companies, we have and implement strictly, our policy “Dignity at Work”, where NO-ONE is allowed to Abuse, or treated as a slave. When we do have issues regarding maltreatment or abuse, in every case this was carried out by a local Indian, does that not say something?
Pay is decided on merit and productivity only. Bonus is paid according to company profits, because everyone contributes even the watchman. Yes, we do operate a 360 degree assessment tool, what is wrong with that, particularly as the decision is not down to just one person. Before you try to rant about profits, please note that profits are not repatriated to foreign countries, because of the various tax regimes, rather they are re-invested in India.
So what if my White skinned senior management make decisions and don’t come and personally discuss these with you but rather filter down the relevant information to the relevant staff. (By the way, please check for yourself the abnormally large number of MD’s; Chairmen; CEO’s, etc., who are local Indians). If you report to a number of managers, you are giving them differing bits of information, which they need. You really do need to understand company organisational structures. If we have a very small training/learning budget, that is because we employ the best talent, we are not a school where we pay students to attend.
Get one thing clear, we do NOT depend on India’s low cost of production, our costs are dictated by market forces such as minimum wage set by your government. Neither, do we depend on India’s vast population and consumption, in fact we serve that same population and consumption, which home grown companies are unable (or unwilling) to. If our products are not required, the population will not buy, it really is quite easy to understand, if you try.
Yes, the Western world is in economic crisis and India is not. Have you ever considered why? It is because India did not have the ability to invest in financial products that turned out to be toxic, even though it had the inclination to.
MNC’s play a vital role in the Indian economy take a lead in improving business culture; provide hundreds and thousands of much needed jobs as the migration from rural to urban jobs increases. Uplift India’s international economic image whilst managing the corrupt Indian politicians’ image.
By the way MNC’s are not all foreign owned, have you heard of Tata, Ambani, Mittal ?
So, please don’t knock MNC’s, instead you should be proud of them and if you are talented enough come and work for them. Jai Hind !

@Harsh, in response to your essay, I only have a few lines to pen.
Firstly, I am working for an Indian Major and NOT for a so-called 'Lala' (sick) company. Secondly, if you really worked hard, you would have appreciated that work is worship and it's an identity for an employee. The point being made is that labeling all small-scale companies as 'Lala Companies' is using cheap language. Who better than you yourself would have recognized that in the first place instead of taking it at a personal level?
Next, we live in a dynamic, interdependent world where every company and every industry, whether small or big, is in some way dependent on the other company or industry. So creating apathy just based on company origins is unwarranted. If you read the comments with understanding, you would have grasped the spirit in which it was written. Otherwise, forget it. Take rest... bye!

Dear 28677... ,
I appreciate your early response. I am glad that you work for an Indian major and not a Lala maybe that is why you feel you can poke fun at their expense?
You are quite right (and I unashamedly admit it), I did take the comments personally. I am not certain what you mean by “the sprit in which it was written”, as such comments only incite. However, the comment on apathy is not justified, as the origins of the company can be a most valuable asset, WIPRO and Premji, come to mind. Accurately reported this becomes an inspiration to its staff.
By acknowledging inter-dependency between companies and industries, you by default acknowledge that Lala’s can one day become successful majors; they need support and encouragement to adopt corporate responsibilities.
I will, however, take your advice and Forget It, but as a certified workaholic I cannot take rest.

Although not many new generation MNCs would have come to India if one US dollar is equal to one rupee, India has only gained from them. They are generating high-paying employment when the government is failing to enforce even minimum wages.

Dear 28677,
The member has posted an original article (I presume) on the characteristics of certain Indian companies, and the term (slang) is widely prevalent among management professionals, especially in business schools during Campus Placement.
I tend to encourage original contributors in general and put in a few words related to the topic, as reproduced below:
The article in no way insults those working in such companies, nor is it intended to.
The point you missed is; it's not even about the employees of such companies, but rather about business owners and their corporate culture, which even their employees find amusing, exploitative, or at worst, tyrannical.
Work is worship, and there is no indignity that exists, or is implied in any way by the article, in case a person works or his parents have worked in such companies.
It is about COMPANIES, not about EMPLOYEES working there. These companies have their own sets of rules, which are employee-unfriendly, whether it is about -
- Terms and conditions of Appointment
- Resignation
- Training & Service Bond
- Notice period
- Leave and its calculation
- Working hours
- Gratuity
- Bifurcation of salary to avoid or reduce statutory contributions
- Employee Benefits, etc.
Please go through the threads posted every day, and you shall understand.
Under the circumstances, your judgmental comments, instead of discussing the matter on merit, are uncalled for.
However, you are entitled to your opinion on the matter without indulging in disparaging, scornful, insolent comments on others.
Warm regards.

Harsh,
I would rather reply to you in a soft language just to say, most of it what you said is not Ideal. reply to each of your comments as below:
"what my staff feel then I would be happy to accept their resignations with immediate effect"
The above sentence says you are not a good manager or leader, as you will be left alone in the company if your statement has value & you will be the one to bring down the company to streets, who is paying you to be this overconfident.
"I am a foreigner, whilst I do not have white skin, and I only speak English with a Non- Indian accent"
The above stanza clarifies that you do not respect for what you are. It would not be a surprise if you cheat your organization whom you r working with in the near future.
Just to bring you back to Earth from Heaven, I would have fired you for your attitude if I were to be your Manager.
"indeed I was accepted by the UK as a refugee from Africa, with only the clothes on my back"
This also clarifies that you do not value for the knowledge which you earned from elsewhere. Cloths, money is just because of what you had in the brain when you went there. Probably they might not have hired you looking at state of your cloths.
"I have worked really hard to build the company (and continue to do so)"
Just be arrogant always to your Manager (or just say "because of me the company is running") or to your Customer, then I would like to see how your hard work that pays you.
Dont be over-confidant as even Steve Jobs was fired from his Company Apple!!!
"So what if my White skinned senior management make decisions and don’t come and personally "
This is why India was thought to be place of "Snake Charmers" for foreigners, who thinks we do not have self-respect or Dignity.
"If we have a very small training/learning budget, that is because we employ the best talent, we are not a school where we pay students to attend"
Over confidence: you should own the patent organization!!
"Get one thing clear, we do NOT depend on India’s low cost of production, our costs are dictated by market forces such as minimum wage set by your government."
Govt. sets the wage based on the Low cost production, which depends on many factors including lively hood for each individual, not based on the Foreign companies requirement.
"in fact we serve that same population and consumption, which home grown companies are unable (or unwilling) to"
Are you doing to the Social work or running an Organizations?
"If our products are not required, the population will not buy, it really is quite easy to understand"
If you make the Consumers understand that the products you are selling is the result of the Consumers begging's (If you think Home land as incapable to feed them), then surely there will be no buyers for your products.
"Yes, the Western world is in economic crisis and India is not. Have you ever considered why? It is because India did not have the ability to invest in financial products that turned out to be toxic, even though it had the inclination to."
Had India not come under the influence & tyranny of the foreign world, It would never even think about economic crisis, as it has the capabilities to so & it did even 10000 of years of BC (Before Christ).
"MNC’s play a vital role in the Indian economy take a lead in improving business culture; provide hundreds and thousands of much needed jobs as the migration from rural to urban jobs increases"
If only MNC's need India & not viceversa!!!
to answer your Economic Image:
Go back to India's history & read about how much wealth were looted by foreigners since we were snake charmers at that time!.
"Uplift India’s international economic image whilst managing the corrupt Indian politicians’ image"
Contrary due to the money inflow due to these companies, politician's pockets are full. Can you imagine 1000of crores just from man's bribery. I would say the basic cause of bribery is big companies with large investments motives.
"By the way MNC’s are not all foreign owned, have you heard of Tata, Ambani, Mittal ?
So, please don’t knock MNC’s, instead you should be proud of them and if you are talented enough come and work for them. Jai Hind ! "
Only statement appreciable is the above one.
Aditya:
No comments but I feel its about perception as below:
Benchmark = copy of something which is already there (either their own or of the Competitors).
Influential = Supports in your deeds (Good or Bad). As you said in your 1st statement, but not due to caste but for mutual benefit.
Good Communication = Misinterpreted usually as the person who can lie & camouflage beautifully.
many more...
Intend of the above conversation is not to hurt anyone but not to deprive the reality.

No comments but I feel its about perception as below:
Benchmark = copy of something which is already there (either their own or of the Competitors).
Influential = Supports in your deeds (Good or Bad). As you said in your 1st statement, but not due to caste but for mutual benefit.
Good Communication = Misinterpreted usually as the person who can lie & camouflage beautifully.
many more...
Intend of the above conversation is not to hurt anyone but not to deprive the reality.

Just to brief, about Lala Companies is a family-run business in the name of a so-called Indian MNC which doesn't have any features of an MNC. Policies are made to be broken. You are paid Re. 1 as a salary and made to do the work of 5 people, i.e., Rs. 5. You get a raise only if you are sitting in your boss's cabin and agree with whatever nonsense he speaks. All in the family, Uncles, Nephews, and Nieces are directors and MDs of the company.
They will spend in the name of the company without realizing whether it is a profit or loss. It's like the income is Re. 1 and expenses are Rs. 5. They will recruit everybody left, right, and center and when the work is over, then show you the door in the name of cost-cutting.

Rb_udupa,
Despite your rant, I think you have misunderstood my underlying points.
If my staff feel that the company is so bad that they are justified in making negative comments (whilst still working and getting paid there), then they obviously have no pride in the company and will never be good ambassadors’. Please note that I stated that I will accept their resignations and not that I will fire them.
How does clarifying that I am of Indian origin, and only speak English with a non-Indian accent translate to I have no respect for myself?
How can I cheat my own organisation, which I have built with risking my own money? My company started from a corner of my bedroom where I was the only employee. Now the company employs just over 3,000 people and operates in 15 countries, over the last 10 years our staff turnover is at 0.28%. I wonder why? Could it be that all are paid well and also treated with respect and dignity? You would fire me for that???
You translate the fact that I was a refugee to having no value for gained knowledge. Please explain, I cannot understand the relationships within the comment. Incidentally, and I am sure you will be disappointed to learn this; I was hired despite my clothes.
Why do you think I am arrogant, because I work hard? The company is not just running it is growing and expanding, which equates to hard work...paying.
Yes, Foreigners think of India as a place of Snake Charmers, but not as you perpetuate; they think of Indian politicians as Snakes and the Indian people as Charming. Corporate India, on the other hand is most highly respected throughout the world. Educate yourself on this.
When the govt. sets wages...... that too is a market force. Educate yourself on this.
Yes we are doing Social work whilst running an organisation..... it is called Corporate Social Responsibility. Educate yourself on this.
When did I suggest consumers are begging for our products? I merely stated that we serve a demand.
Is it not time to stop blaming the tyranny of foreigners, India has been an independent nation for long enough to take responsibility of its own actions and inaction's.
You should first realize that bribes are not offered, they are demanded. Then you should question; demanded by whom?
Warm Regards,

Dear Raj Kumar Hansdah,
You unconditionally declare that Shri Aditya's article is unoffensive about small-scale Indian companies and it's an original masterpiece. Wonder what makes you think otherwise when MNCs can also be criticized on the pros and cons.
It's good to judge comments, but it's best to be a fair judge and not a biased one.
Regarding companies, have you ever found out what runs around all over the world regarding small-scale companies? If you had, you would have understood the perspective, and it more so applies in your case since you are tagged 'Senior Member' and 'Super Moderator'. I have read and appreciated many of your threads, but in this case, unfortunately, I think the bias is only specifically targeted towards the Indian small-scale industry. Making a constructive article of pros and cons of both Indian as well as MNC culture would have been in better taste, which is what was attempted. Regarding family business, most MNCs today are also family-run businesses. Please google it, and you would find how sons, daughters, and relatives turn into directors, CEOs, vice presidents, etc. The point being made is that when we do poke fun at an industry, it should be in the right perspective. And lastly, original work and masterpieces are created over a considerable period of time with a lot of energy and pains put into effort to get the minutest of details, which is why they are called original work. Something off the run is anybody's guess!
Sincerely
From India, Mumbai

Dear 28677,
I have never declared anything to the effect that you are insinuating or attributing. As I already stated, I am simply encouraging a contributor. Please do not take things so seriously; the piece is meant to be taken in a lighter vein.
There are several more interesting and important things to be done than to indulge further on this issue here. You may, if you still wish to, and do not have any other worthwhile contribution to make here, send a PM (private message) to me, rather than making personal remarks/attacks and making the thread unsavoury for members.
Warm regards,
From India, Delhi
