To fan the fire, Mohan Singh’s youngest son, Manjit Singh is also claiming his share in the golden geese. When it comes to legacy issues, India has seen enormous conflicts where brothers- in-arms are set to strangle each other. So the Singhs are no exception! But the million dollar question is: Can disputes centred around succession be avoided? The answer is a resounding yes! The solution lies in strategic succession planning, just as in the Bajaj and Jindal family. The many Nimmi Singhs filing any number of complaints will not disturb shareholders (as in Ranbaxy, the disputed shares are short of 1% of the total shares). But, without proper succession planning, even the best of Indian corporations can run into serious rough weather.

IIPM-News:-Birla Group Joining The Race With Idea Buyout

With the Birla Group joining the race with the Idea buyout, the task looks even more daunting. Besides, Reliance will have to undo some of the good work that it did in CDMA. It will have to vacate some of its existing CDMA spectrum in lieu of GSM spectrum in Delhi & Mumbai circles. Moreover, it is reportedly planning to ask for phones with Re-Usable Identification Module (RUIM) chips and GSM roaming capability. That would make its old handsets redundant. Kobita Desai, an analyst with Gartner India, states with respect to switching platforms, “There are always huge costs associated, which include the incentives you need to give existing users and also subsidizing the switchover to a different handset.” If we assume each handset costs Rs.2000, Reliance would be looking at an immediate cash outflow of Rs.7.32 billion in its Delhi and Mumbai circles for replacements alone.
