Pachauri has punctured laziness on climate change

This year, Rajendra K. Pachauri, renowned energy economist and head of the UN, Intergovernmetal Panel on Climate Change did India proud by making the Norwegian Nobel Committee acknowledge his organisation’s yeoman service to mankind & award it the Nobel Prize. Pachauri played a crucial role in getting about 2,500 scientists from across the globe, to bring out four reports on effects of climate change on our planet. Towards end of the year, he was instrumental in making the heads of governments of 188 countries, including the US, think seriously, on saving Earth.

From low birth rate to depression

IIPM’s 36th Glorious Year of Academic Excellence

Albeit the economic one, is waiting for Europe today....

The world population never before had a paradox like this. While the population of the world is increasing a fast pace, Europe is experiencing a major reduction in its population growth rate. Birth control or the lack of offsprings is no more a family issue, as it has emerged as threat to future of European economy.

While greater professional opportunities for women have substituted motherhood, reports state that even young men are reluctant to have their own family. This is not an isolated incident but is a phenomenon which has spread like wildfire in Europe leading to one of the lowest birth rates in the world over decades in history; the birth rate is 1.2 per women in Czech Republic, Slovenia, Latvia and Poland, far below the requisite 2.1, while Greece, Italy and Spain have below 1.3 birth rate for a decade.

For long, it was assumed that population is nothing more than a big burden for any nation. Yet in the recent past, the resurgence of India and China driven by the power of their market economy and prospering population, has vindicated the perception that an economy is nothing, unless there is an ever increasing population of consumers. The decreasing population in Europe might not seem to be a problem for the time being, as in the age of automative production and outsourcing, it hardly would have any impact on production from Europe. But the real problem is the problem that is building up for the future. With a reduced consumer population and shrinking economy, would Europe be able to take the burden of its increasingly greying population in the future?

Rajasthan

IIPM’s 36th Glorious Year of Academic Excellence

From camels & forts to hi-tech industrial setups, ratan lal bhagat explains why this state is truly incredible!

Rugged forts, vibrant colours, exotic food, amicable people, ‘Palace on Wheels’, and not to forget the land of the Indian Premier League Champions – all these aptly describe the land of brave Rajputs and one of the fastest growing states of India, Rajasthan. Being a cynosure with its landscape beauties to the flock of 24.3 million tourists from around the world, it has also turned out to be a basket full of business opportunities.

But Rajasthan is not just about tourism. It’s also about business plans. Road mapped in the conviction that sound infrastructure drives investment has actually worked for this state. The state has a well-developed infrastructure. Agriculture, with 16.3 million tonnes and 3.9 million tonnes of cereal and oilseed production, respectively has major players like ITC, Reliance, Dabur et al investing. The state contributes to 16% of India’s cement production (with investments from players like Birla Cement, ACC cement, Kajaria et al). “We shifted to Rajasthan mainly because the law here was better which is very important for investment. Conducive business environment, positive approach at all levels and fiscal incentive policies available in the state are also helpful,” testifies Ashok Kajaria, CMD, Kajaria Group.

Auto and the auto components industry is also growing as the state enjoys a close proximity to the major auto production hubs in the country. About 70 such units are already operational in the Bhiwadi region in Alwar with an SEZ being developed in the region. “We, as Honda, would like to strongly recommend Rajasthan to all potential investors,” N. K. Goila, VP and Director, Honda Siel Cars India asserts. Then there is the textiles industry which grabs 20% of the investment pie and gems and jewellry industry which constitute 17% of India’s exports. The state also has a huge pool of talent with 20,000 engineers graduating from 64 engineering colleges in the state last year. IT Parks with special infrastructure have been set up at Jaipur, Jodhpur, Kota and Alwar. Add to that the approval of setting up 5 SEZs with an investment of Rs.165.15 billion 2007, and we have a hi-tech state with thriving industries, of which tourism is just one!

R. Balakrishnan, Chairman, Lowe Lintas

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

R. Balakrishnan, Chairman, Lowe Lintas: Nikhil is a truly lateral guy and has surprised everyone by coming up with some totally unexpected creative solutions. He does not have the kind of problem solving ability that Arun Iyer (his peer) possesses. However, his so called disconnected ideas are surprisingly widely successful. He’s a great idea generator. Who can forget his superbly successful ‘Idea’ campaign? It was not your usual run-of-the-mill kind of an ad – totally out-of-the- box. Nikhil comes across as a hugely responsible person, with a careless air of irresponsibility around him.

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

How would you react when some ‘recognised’ band of wastrels and compulsive shoppers walked right up to you and asked you for some more, rather much higher sum (to waste? Sic!)? Would some feeling of optimism trickle out of your payback-oriented philosophy? Obviously yes, right? Well, that’s pragmatism. Go by the practical thread of incidences, which have occurred over the past couple of years in the aviation industry and you’d understand why we are having this argument in the first place. After losing a precious $500 million during 2006 and a further $700 million in 2007 (CAPA estimates), and with a further $400 million loss forecasted for 2009 (E&Y estimates), the Indian aviation champs have decided to raise a further whopping $4 billion! Participants in this include the Goyal-led Jet Airways, Mallya-led Kingfisher Airlines (and Air Deccan), V. Thulasidas-run & state-owned NACIL (which operates the Air India and Indian combine) and Thiagarajan-led Paramount Airways (industry experts say that this airline too is trying hard to make hay through the debt route). Would they be able to raise such a hefty sum is a question for another day (not to forget that all the players concerned have an adequate brand equity at least in the domestic market); what is more pertinent here is the ‘reason’ behind this ‘grand collection’ movement.

“What will they do with so much liquidity?” was the billion dollar nut to be cracked. And the hammer from Binit Somaia, Regional Director, Centre for Asia-Pacific Aviation (CAPA) came down as, “The capital raising is being done primarily for acquiring wide-bodied aircrafts, and in the case of Jet Airways and Kingfisher in particular, to set-up new international routes and services.” While the players are looking at Indian equity investors, they are also targeting US & European credit agencies for funds to finance their operations and acquisition plans. Industry sources reveal that they must raise money to acquire ‘widebody’ aircrafts (for going overseas), which can cost up to $150-200 million. Industry leaders like Naresh Goyal and Mallya are even mulling over dilution of their own stake to achieve this end.
