India is the world’s third largest oil importer. It imports 86% of its crude oil requirements to make the petrol and diesel that is sold by domestic companies like Indian Oil and Hindustan Petroleum.

Iraq is the top oil supplier. Saudi Arabia, UAE, Nigeria and the US are other key sellers. Therefore, any geopolitical tension affecting the supply of crude oil does not bode well for Indian consumers as well as government finances.




Crude oil prices have been on the boil for some time now, gaining around 60% over the past year because of tight supplies. The OPEC+, which includes the cartel’s allies led by Russia, has been failing to meet its monthly production target since last August.

“The nice thing about not planning is that failure comes as a complete surprise rather than being preceded by a period of worry and depression.” — author unknown

If you get in a car in Chicago with the intent of driving to Los Angeles, the GPS rarely plots the California portion of the map while you are in your driveway. Rather, the GPS methodically and sequentially plots each road to take in order to reach the desired location. Project Management follows the same logic of a series of key tasks or steps that have to be completed in a systematic process in order to meet the desired outcome. Traveling to Los Angeles from Chicago can only happen if the tasks of traveling through the Midwest and the Rockies are met first.

In marketing, it is important to have an effective communication tool. One of these tools is plastic postcards. These are cards that you create and distribute to customers with a message or advertisement about your business so they can learn more about it.

However, if you need a larger card or smaller postcard, you can get them adjusted to your specific needs at the printers.

Just avoid running into the same errors that other buyers have experienced when executing an internal business sale. Here are the five biggest mistakes you could make:

1. Expecting the current owner to take the lead

The prospect of an internal sale is often introduced by an agency owner. That person might approach an employee or group of employees that seem like they’d be interested in buying the business. If you’re a prospective buyer and confirm your interest, the process of negotiating a deal will begin — unless you leave things up to
