Heading from Gurgaon to Delhi Airport for an 8 PM flight? You better leave by 4:30 PM. Thatโs 2.5 hours for 15 km. ๐๐จ
A few years ago, the biggest bottleneck was the 32-lane toll plaza. So, they removed it. Problem solved? Not really. Now, cars zoom ahead in 16 lanes (each side) only to hit a choke point where the road squeezes into 2 lanes.
Morning rush - Gurgaon to Delhi. Evening rush - Delhi to Gurgaon.
This is exactly how many businesses operate.
๐ Sales hit record numbersโฆ but profits shrink due to heavy discounts.
โ๏ธ Procurement moves fasterโฆ but raw material piles up, choking storage & locking working capital.
๐ญ Production ramps upโฆ but customers still face delaysโbecause many partial orders are completed, but none are fully ready to dispatch.
Each department is optimizing its own piece. But the system suffers.
Because speed without flow = chaos.
The Real Power? Fixing the Right Bottleneck
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella recently highlighted the success of DeepSeekโa 200-person AI startup that set a new benchmark in AI performance.While tech giants are pouring billions into AI, DeepSeek didnโt just scale up.They scaled rightโfocusing on high-leverage pointsย Growth isnโt about throwing more people, money, or tech at a problem.
Itโs about fixing what truly matters.
So ask yourself:
ย ๐น Are we working on what really matters?
ย ๐น Are we creating flowโor just adding speed to the wrong places?
ย ๐น Are we making businesses betterโor just busier?
True progress isnโt about doing more. Itโs about doing what matters. Where have you seen this happen?
