Increase In Prices Is, hmm...

Vindicating the point, so does Hirendra Rathod, President of Delhi Trade Forum, alleging that prices of commodities are not being fixed as per demand or supply, but by the commodity exchanges in order to book profits. Traders like Rathod, accusing commodity exchanges of manipulating markets, have angrily demanded a ban on their operations. Even the UPA Chairperson, Sonia Gandhi, while chairing the Core Ministerial meeting of the government to review price rise, flatly put the onus of unprecedented inflation on commodity markets. But the Chairman of commodity futures regulator, the Forward Markets Commission (FMC), S. Sundaresan, copiously doesn’t think so. The increase in prices is, hmm, how do we put it, “In sync with market trends,” as he sassed recently rising up to defend the futures markets.

The Indian Textile Sector

The textile sector and labour reforms are a classic example of misguided populism. The Indian textile industry has a golden opportunity to catch up with China in the post quota regime and become a massive generator of export dollars as well as jobs in the country. Yet, the Left will simply not allow the labour policy reforms, desperately required to make the Indian textile sector more globally competitive. Pleads S. P Oswal, Chairman of the National Textiles Committee of CII, “In an industry like textiles, which is very much seasonal demand oriented, the government must give certain flexibility to labour laws, like what China and Bangladesh have. I am not talking about hire and fire, but there should be freedom to work.”

Ranbaxy Legal Battle

IIPM-News Article IIPM-News Article IIPM-News Article IIPM-News Article IIPM-News Article IIPM-News Article

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.

FOR THE SAKE OF CHOCOLATES

Switzerland has an open and developed economy placed plum in the middle of the European continent. Lacking natural resources, the economy depends on its trade, which contributes to around 50% of its $367 billion economy. Generally diversified, the notable strength of the Swiss economy lies in four sectors – pharmaceuticals, machinery, watches & precision in instruments and financial services. Other sectors like agriculture and cartelised construction are still heavily government controlled and have not yet been opened up. Having faced the same fate as its other European counterparts, Switzerland too, showed slow growth for almost a decade; even in 2005, their GDP grew by a meager 1.7%.

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.

Travel Estimated For European Market

With an annual increase of 5.1% to 6.7% in air travel estimated for European market, breakingb even for Grupo does not seem to be a Herculean task. As P. Vetrivel, International Bureau of Aviation, comments, “The deal will strengthen Ferrovial and it will definitely look out for more deals.” The only worry, and a huge one, is Grupo’s lack of competence in aviation, what with only 14.7% of net cash flow being earned currently from aviation (FY 2005). So what did you finally choose? Downright Stupid? Or Stupendously Electrifying? Well, we hear your claps; or are they slaps? :-)

TONY BLAIR

In the summit, British Prime Minister Tony Blair had announced that in addition to the huge sum of $40 billion aid package, 100% of the multilateral debt of the poor countries would be cancelled. This, pundits argued, would enable poor countries to find their paths to reduce poverty. The reality is different; for one, only 18 countries will be allowed debt write off and that too for a period of three years. The killer is: for every dollar of debt relief given, one dollar would be deducted from aid...

Life is no bed of Roses

Life is no bed of roses, and so it was to be with young Lance. Adversity was a constant companion of the Armstrongs, case in point the time when his dad walked out on him while he was just a tiny tot of age two. Raised by a teenaged mum and a stepfather, Lance had every reason to fail and yet he decided that if life was going to hand him a lemon, he’d make tequila of it! I marveled at Lance as he funnelled his angst into triathlons, but it was soon obvious to all but the blind that he had a mercurial talent for cycling. The Tour de France was to be his calling, destiny and most brutal examination intertwined. Labeled “The Brash Texan”, it was a dark day in 1996 for Lance Armstrong when the doctor declared his grim prognosis: Diagnosed with stage-three testicular cancer that had spread its tentacles to his lungs and brain.

Nazi Germany

Need I state the obvious link with present-day politics? Masterfully and aptly crafting an epoch after the WW II when the warped ideals of society dictated by Nazi Germany and autarchic Russia ripped humanity to tatters, the Orwellian period tolled a menacingly bell and lampooned an unmistakably real view of the future – in part of what we live in this date – popularising terms like ‘Doublethink’, ‘Newspeak’ and ‘Thought Police’, commonplace in today’s vocabulary.

Taliban Takes Control

IIPM-Publications

IIPM-Bangalore ! IIPM-Chennai ! IIPM-New Delhi ! IIPM-Mumbai ! IIPM-Pune ! IIPM-Hyderabad ! IIPM-Ahemdabad

The rise of the most regressive and militant Islamic group in the world, the Taliban, was formally completed when they gained the stronghold of Mazar-i-Sharif in northern Afghanistan. Pakistan was the first to recognise the Taliban on May 25, 1997, followed by Saudi Arabia on May 26 and the UAE on May 27. It was the start of a horrific rule for five years that ended only when the US attacked Afghanistan in the aftermath of 9/11. The Taliban was led by one eyed preacher Mullah Mohammad Omar who picked on the discontent in the country in the aftermath of Communist rule. Rapes, looting, and murder were staple diet as Afghanistan slipped rapidly into savagery. Omar and his band of followers handed out ruthless punishment in the beginning, before losing control later. Omar is still at large, like his old friend bin Laden. Michael Moore’s Farenheit 911, shockingly said, Bush had business contacts with the bin Laden’s. Curiously, Bush hasn’t had much explaining to do for failing to nab Laden.
