Vocal for local, fine balance between cost and quality

Hot topic this season is that of the very revered tirupati laddu. Being a follower of Lord Venkateshwara, the turn of unpleasant events only points out that we as a society are very far way from self discretion and we are always waiting for opportunity to over-ride the loop holes prone guidelines provided an opportunity to do so.

Coming to technical aspects of the incident, it is evident that Karnataka owned KMF was usual supplier of laddu ingredient to the TTD and that status quo was foregone which according to KMF was related to cost benefit factor. TTD had chosen to partner with third party supplier accordingly.

Many may argue the need for TTD to disturb the fine balance by changing the supplier. But many would acknowledge this very attitude of eliteism in business affairs which the superior tire organization finds it convenient to deal with another well known superior tiered organization in business affairs even though the same service is offered by less known organization.

This particular incident acts as ammunition and further strengthens the notion of superior organizations to over-ride the need to provide opportunity to less established individuals and there by disturbing the distribution of opportunity.
