There’s nothing wrong with repeating yourself, but the trick is to do it before different audiences. That’s where Competition Commission chief Dhanendra Kumar came up short. Last week, at a seminar on competition, he cited the instance of the days when he was in the telecom ministry and a retired Cabinet Secretary kept asking him to help get his phone repaired.
The gentleman would call up four times in a day, Kumar recalled, but then stopped calling one day. When Kumar asked why, he was told the gentleman had bribed the linesman to do the work. None of this, the Competition Commission chief told the audience, happened after there were more suppliers. Point taken. Except, at another seminar in the capital a few days ago, Kumar came up with the same example.
