  • Capital markets are no longer about capital

    The Big Picture
    19 May 2013 | 3:34 am
    Apple has raised an enormous amount of capital- to hand back cash to shareholders. It is sitting on tonnes of cash, yet resorted to the capital market because repatriating cash to the US from other parts of the world would have been tax inefficient. This, says John Kay in an article in the  FT, "illustrates a paradox in the modern relationship between business and finance. Companies have never had so little need for capital nor so much engagement with capital markets.The point about listing in the market is not to raise capital- knowledge-based businesses do not need to own a whole lot…

    Udaipur is a spiritual place. The large lake overlooking the densely wooded Aravali Hills can freeze your mind in the moment, not desiring anything else but a wish for time to freeze itself. It is comforting to watch the morning sun illuminating blue lake and dispersing the cold accumulated through the night. And a breakfast in Amet Haveli overlooking the lake with a book in hand, the morning can’t be more perfect. This story originally appeared in India Travel & Photography Blog.

    Google Inc is considering buying Israeli mobile satellite navigation start-up Waze Inc, which may lead to a bidding war with Facebook Inc, who has also earlier expressed interest to buy up the maps company. Waze has already been receiving expressions of interest from various Silicon Valley giants like Facebook.

The possible reason we can speculate is that Facebook will want the Waze team to move to California after the buy, something which the…

    (Any opinions expressed here are those of the author and not necessarily of Reuters) Is it better to pay more money for more electricity, or keep prices low and look forward to blackouts that will conk out offices, factories and homes in India? That is the question that lies at the heart of an ongoing debate about whether authorities should allow utilities Adani Power Ltd and Tata Power Co Ltd to raise their tariffs on existing contracts to clients, to compensate the companies for the domestic coal supply shortages and the rising cost of buying coal from overseas.

Only screaming, repeating the master’s voice,” Justice R.M. Lodha said on May 8, urging the government to strengthen the agency’s independence. The CBI denied the accusations and emphasized its impartiality. Reuters India Online spoke to various experts for their views on…

Sanjay Dutt has been at the loggerhead with the judicial system and had to surrender at the court to complete his remaining 3.5 years of jail term that he had been awarded owing to his role in the infamous 1993 bombings in Mumbai.

    Too much of something can’t be good. The Australian government did something in the past that has grown out of proportion and has become a burning problem at present. To save transportation cost and resources camels were imported in the 1800s from India, Arabia and Afghanistan. The logic behind importing camel herds must have been their capability of working in the most adverse conditions and without any maintenance. What they did not foresee was that the humpback camels will multiply themselves with time. The explosion in the number of camels has led to the present problem. Both ecological…

But, with some creative marketing Phalke managed to get people to come and see his film. From that first film the Indian cinema has grown to become the biggest film industry in the world.

  • Short Take : Indians Can Now Read Maps!

    24 May 2013 | 10:30 pm
    I was recently trying to find a friend’s place in Kolkata. The cabbie driving the endearing but rattly old Ambassador was new to the city and seemed nonplussed. He said – and I translate and paraphrase a much more colorful use of words – “You have internet on the phone, na? You can see the map on that – and we’ll get close enough and then ask someone.” As it turned out, that strategy had to be employed since Google had shown us a route right through a one way street in the opposite direction, so local information imposed on top of the map came in handy. But hey, the…

Equity investments are higher risk than debt ones and so on. And returns are “risk adjusted”, to be meaningful. Managing risk is the whole purpose of a B-School student, and professor. Reducing risk is the aim of most who go through our education system and look to get a good job. Entrepreneurs, per popular belief, take much more than usual.

It pains to see such news ‘items’ on display at one of India’s biggest web property. Are they trying to match Indiatimes.com standard of reporting? If they are, then I am afraid it’s the race to the bottom. As per Wikipedia entry, Rediff has around 95 million registered users! Such a waste of attention, love and care. I have time and again shared that managing a web property is entirely different from managing a company. No,…

  • Crowdsourcing the news: Do we need a public license for citizen journalism?

    Mathew Ingram
    24 May 2013 | 1:12 pm
    By now, it should be obvious to just about anyone that “citizen journalism” or “user-generated content” is a crucial part of what the news has become, whether it’s a photo of a plane landing on the Hudson or a video of a bomb exploding in Boston. Unfortunately, the ways that media entities handle such content is all over the map — some give credit, while others take whatever they want without so much as a link. Do we need a formal structure to deal with this new reality? Mark Little, founder and CEO of social-media platform Storyful, thinks that we do. At…

  • Fight over TV streaming heats up as broadcasters file new lawsuit in Washington DC

    Jeff John Roberts
    24 May 2013 | 11:07 am
    Major broadcasters filed a new lawsuit this week as part of an ongoing efforts to shut down services like Aereo that stream over-the-air TV to computer and mobile devices. In a complaint filed Thursday, the broadcasters — ABC, Fox, NBC, Allbritton Communications and Telemundo — asked the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia to issue an injunction to stop the service known as Aereokiller from streaming their shows. Aereokiller, which is available from the website FilmOn, is operated by Alki David, a billionaire who chose the name to tweak Aereo, thehigh profile…

  • News Corp spin-off will include stock buyback fund, poison pill

    News Corp, the giant media entertainment and media conglomerate, announced new details on Friday about its long-awaited plans to spin-off its newspaper and publishing businesses into a separate corporation. The split will officially take place on June 28 and will include a $500 million stock buyback fund, which will be used to purchase shares “on an opportunistic basis following the completion of the separation.” The company also announced what investors call a poison pill in the form of provisions that allows existing shareholders to purchase $180 worth of stock for $90 in the…

  • Behold: How Amazon wins the sales tax wars even when it loses

    Laura Hazard Owen
    24 May 2013 | 7:57 am
    Taxes aren’t a sexy story. And the story of Amazon’s long war against collecting sales tax tends to be reported in dribs and drabs, with coverage generally focusing on battles in individual states, which can make it even more boring to keep up with the issue (or maybe that’s just me). Peter Elkind’s cover story in this week’s issue of Fortune magazine, however, focuses on the entire saga. Maneuvering to get around taxes isn’t unique to Amazon — note Apple’s own practice of keeping billions of dollars of profits offshore. The Fortune…

    Who lives in a pineapple under the sea? Don’t ask Netflix subscribers: The video service removed Spongebob Squarepants, Dora the Explorer, Go Diego Go, Blue’s Clues  and other animated Nickeolodeon fare from its streaming library this week as its licensing agreement with Viacom is expiring. Also gone are shows like iCarly, Teen Mom, Jersey Shore and the Sarah Silverman Show. Netflix had announced in April that it wasn’t going to renew its broad licensing deal with Viacom.

    Manu Joseph, editor of the weekly magazine Open, reviews in his column ‘Modern Times’, the speech Narendra Modi gave at the India Today Conclave.  Joseph writes: “ He(Modi) says that the Government’s employment guarantee scheme, which assures employment or wages to the poorest of Indians for 100 days in a year, must be positioned not as a social welfare measure but as a conscription call to the poor to dedicate 100 days of their lives to the nation. There is applause from some of India’s richest people, as if to drown out the canned laughter of the poor.” He…

    The only image that haunts me after a short trip to the royal city of Mysore  is the blackened hoarding on the Bangalore- Mysore high way. All that was written in English were blackened with threatening call to use Kannada instead. The extremist, intolerant movements with scant regard for national feelings are playing spoil sport in India’s march towards progress. Add to that religious fundamentalism the situation is spinning out of control. The discussion on terrorism are mostly confined to those associated with religion. The need of the hour is to analysing the looming threat to the…

    Rahul Sharma was extremely unsure of whether he wanted to pursue physics or psychology. On one hand, he knew that the future of neuroscience lay in Physics. On the other, he knew that psychology would fulfil his immediate goal of studying the mind . Giving to parental pressure, he opted for Physics, abandoning his dream to pursue Psychology. This, the problem of choice, is perhaps one of the biggest problems plaguing higher education in India. While there are definitely bigger problems related to access to education, increasing tuition fees and outdated syllabi, this is the one that will make…

    Back when I first started to be a journalist, I entered with no preconceived notions in my head. To me, everyone was equal--from sub editors to reporters to page designers--and obviously the editor in chief was the head of it all, but the rest of us were all monkeys with typewriters. Before I joined my first job, I was given a little aptitude test (do they still do that?) where they make you fill out lots of pages about who you are and what you read and then line edit a story for mistakes and then you do a little essay about some random topic. Mine was "My Autobiography" and perhaps not…

The readings went well, there was press and I felt a bit like a conquering heroine, book four all laid out in my mind, anxious to get back to work. Usually, TC waits for me by the door. A lot of people ask me what happens to the cat while I'm away.

Sure, it works for you, I say flippantly to my friends with sisters, friends with brothers. But think of all the advantages I had--my parents and I like a unit, the absence of you led to the three of us being a family very different from other people's families. I had pets---pets are better than you. I told myself stories on lonely afternoons---if you had been born, I never…

    21 May 2013 | 9:50 am
    TVS Wego , launched in 2011, was an earnest effort by TVS to garner a fair share of the Indian scooter market which was dominated by Honda's Activa. The brand had a high profile launch with a campaign pitching on one feature - Body Balance. Two years down the line, Wego although had a good start failed to make a significant impact on the scooter market ( source). The customers were not that impressed by the way the company had tried to convey its message through the launch campaign.In 2013, TVS is running another campaign with a new theme - We Time.

    Banks and bankers have getting bad publicity since the financial crisis. Many bankers have lost jobs. Bonuses are down. One would think that bright young grads would want to steer clear of banks. Apparently not, according to Andrew Hill. management editor of the FT. He writes that in St Gallen in Switzerland, the lure of banking persists:Many of the young students who run the St Gallen Symposium in Switzerland, where Mr Noonan spoke, still have their sights set on the peaks of high finance. Senior bankers are ready to welcome them. “I think it will still be cool for young people to join…

    Apple has raised an enormous amount of capital- to hand back cash to shareholders. It is sitting on tonnes of cash, yet resorted to the capital market because repatriating cash to the US from other parts of the world would have been tax inefficient. This, says John Kay in an article in the  FT, "illustrates a paradox in the modern relationship between business and finance. Companies have never had so little need for capital nor so much engagement with capital markets.The point about listing in the market is not to raise capital- knowledge-based businesses do not need to own a whole lot…

The airline industry has opted for foreigners (for example, Jet Air) from time to time but I can't think of this being phenomenon being pervasive.So it's interesting that Hindustan Times has appointed a South African as its Chief Editorial and Content Officer ( in itself a new designation in the Indian media).

    There’s a reason why certain cultural artifacts stay relevant across the ages. The beauty of the language and the powerful symbolism of the poetry give every generation the ability to derive  contemporarily relevant messages. Insightful commentators have managed to do this with the Gita over millennia. I am not one those insightful commentators. But that is not going to stop me from providing internet-era relevant commentary on some of the most well-known verses.

It’s a bit like reading Shashi Tharoor’s tweets and claiming to be an expert on post-independence Indian literature. Everyone has theories on how to put them to sleep, for instance, but that is a silly notion because babies have their own theories on how and when they will sleep, and that rarely seems to match with the suggestions put forward by these experts.

    For a country that is mostly conservative, elderly family members are sure able to suspend any and all manner of delicateness when it comes to the serious matter of issues, or as The Hindu matrimonial ads would have it, encumbrances. Short of bluntly saying “Put sattney, produce baby”, there are several unsubtle tricks employed. An example -  “The caterer for my grandson’s Ayush homam makes an utterly delightful sambaar. You should seriously consider him, I mean, after you produce a baby of course”. There was also a “haha” at the end of that. So…

    Ever since I was 14, Valentine’s Day has always been interesting for me, and not necessarily in just good ways. I grew up in Madras, a city not particularly known for its sense of romance. As school kids, Valentine’s day was spoken in hushed whispers and was an urban legend that only some chosen seniors had a clue about. The whole idea of expressing your love for someone to that very someone was a fantasy that had no existence outside of Tamil movies (and the occasional Hindi movie at Melody theater). So when I found myself in Delhi, surrounded by classmates who had smoked actual…

If you grew up like me -- in a home where beans, legumes and pulses were eaten on a daily basis -- you're probably grateful that an efficient and effective cooking method is finally being recognized, and you're possibly also quite aghast at the various myths that are being repeated ad nauseam, especially the one that pressure cookers are dangerous because they explode in your face. releasing pressure There's no doubt that they used to explode and there…

    I love getting emails from all of you, especially ones that request help with planning a menu. I’m a big advocate of hosting regular family-style dinner parties, and love to see others do the same. Here is an email I received from Dana a few days ago: Hi Meena, I have been following your blog for quite some while now and absolutely love it. You delight my foodie heart! I am hosting a family party this weekend (there are around 6-7 of us) and I can’t think of a suitable menu. I’m keen on doing an Indian themed dinner, since we’re all into Indian food big time!

Cars have been taken in for servicing, house has been cleaned top to bottom with every nook and cranny dusted, and elegant meals have been cooked and devoured. We also managed to sneak in a movie or two. Boy am I glad the sun has set and I can finally sit down with my nightly tea and stack of books waiting to be dug into.

    I woke up this morning, a head bursting full of fresh ideas, inspiration and knowledge. I had just gotten back from a wonderful weekend spent with 100 people I’ve never met before, yet some I’ve felt like I’ve known since ages. We were all there for a purpose, some more focused than others. And the one common thread that strung us all together was our combined love for eating and sharing of food. It was the first ever Food Bloggers of Canada Conference, and I know it can’t be the last. It has open many more doors of opportunity and learning, and there can only be ways…

  • Narendra Modi: temptation of the middle class

    12 May 2013 | 2:56 am
    The sudden ascent of stocky, 62 year old Narendra Modi as a serious contender for the nation’s leadership has taken people by surprise. The general election is still a year away but the average, open minded, middle-of- the-road Indian wonders how to think about the polarizing chief minister of Gujarat. Either you love him or hate him, which is precisely why one must not react with a knee-jerk but try and go beyond the shallow surface of a flawed but remarkable human being. India today is discontented and troubled as a result of corruption scandals, high inflation, declining growth, and a…

  • Food security bill: Corruption by another name

    31 Mar 2013 | 5:50 am
    On the same day as the central cabinet approved the food security bill two weeks ago, Delhi’s chief minister, Sheila Dixit, stood up courageously to defend the rising price of electric power in the Delhi assembly. She explained patiently to the legislators that you cannot have something for nothing--electricity costs money and those who use it should pay for it. In the end she succeeded. By not raising the power subsidy, Delhi’s chief minister was able to increase investment for roads, public transport, education and health care in Delhi state’s annual budget. The contrast between the…

This is a pre-election year and the people expect give-aways and bribes-for-votes. But this is not going to happen in this Budget. So, here is my advice to citizens.

  • An aspiring young India needs a new liberal party

    26 Jan 2013 | 3:19 am
    India is a nation in ferment. People have taken to the streets because they no longer trust the existing political order. The old way of doing politics is under challenge but a new way has not yet been found. No one knows quite what the next eruption will bring. After Anna Hazare, Kejriwal, and Nirbhaya, there will be another outrage and another protest, and this will not stop until the political class learns to cope with the aspirations of a new, young, self confident nation. There were hints of this realization last week at Jaipur but no one had the courage to say so at the Congress…

    Ratan Tata is a reticent man. He is 74 and retires this month as chairman after guiding his group to be the country’s number one, $ 100 billion, in revenues. He commands respect not only from his 450,000 employees but from the entire global business community. He is courteous and complains rarely. But earlier this month he spoke out in anguish. “Government inaction is driving investment away from the country,” he said, and this was forcing groups like the Tatas to seek opportunities abroad where you don’t have “a seven or eight year wait to get clearance for a steel plant.” The…

    A mother of five watched two of her children die of hunger! I wonder if you can even begin to imagine the pain and total helplessness of this woman. We are of those who run after our kids with plates of food, willing to conjure anything alternatives treats should our brat refuse the fare of the day. We are of those who move heaven and earth should our child get a minor scratch. We are of those who have never experienced hunger pangs or seen our child hungry. So how can we even begin to feel the agony of that mother. The authorities with their art of splitting hair  and their misplaced…

I find it hard to meditate though a friend recently told me a form of meditation called gibberish meditation that seems compatible with my personality. It is called gibberish meditation and goes from singing la la la to the sky to talking nonsense non stop and even jumping and rolling yourself on the floor. The trick is to go on for 20 minutes!

Perhaps this was because I had grown up as an only and lonely child with no moorings as mine was a nomadic life courtesy my father's profession. Like all only children I had my set of imaginary friends, talked to myself and dealt with my good and bad moments alone. My adult years also were somewhat solitary.

People that can further business goals within a system and build and implement strategies that fit as part of an entire organization, not just their personal agendas. We talked in The Now Revolution about social becoming a skill rather than a job.

    Udaipur is a spiritual place. The large lake overlooking the densely wooded Aravali Hills can freeze your mind in the moment, not desiring anything else but a wish for time to freeze itself.

And a breakfast in Amet Haveli overlooking the lake with a book in hand, the morning can’t be more perfect. This story originally appeared in India Travel & Photography Blog.

The name explains a lot about the category in which the vehicle fits into. It has the looks of an SUV and has high ground clearance that can help the driver wade through unfriendly roads.

    There are hundreds of engineering colleges around us. There are hundreds of “experts” ventilating on some issue or the other. But every summer it is not uncommon for brand-new localities and brand-new buildings to run out of the most basic of human necessities: water. Because they are so poorly designed. The main Amba Vilas palace in Mysore in recent years has attracted more visitors than even the Taj Mahal. Yet it seems to have no such problem. At least not in a life-threatening way.The reason, it turns out, is because the engineers employed by the rajas and maharajas seemed to…

As a child I used to think that he must be the meanest and vilest person on earth as I used to see him only as the traditional ‘bad man’ who could do no good. That was until I grew up a little to see him doing some good too in his later movies where someone perhaps thought of transforming his character! But what all grownups now agree upon is how nice a gentleman he was in his real life whenever he was off the film sets.

Imagine an entire village dedicated to them, where they can live freely and without prejudice, and receive loving care and attention from dedicated staff. This is what Sahyog Kushtha Yagna Trust in Gujarat attempts to achieve. What is the perception about any village in India? That it would consist of a religious place, school, health center, well, small homes and many more things. There is a similar village next to Shamaliya, 27 kms along the highway from…

  • The Irony Of Iconhood – The Life And Times Of Bhanwari Devi

    Halabol
    20 May 2013 | 12:54 am
    India’s rape culture has given birth to many women activists and icons. Bhanwari Devi, a victim of gang-rape in 1992, is one of them. As an epitome of sheer courage and conviction, she inspires women to take a stand for their rights. But the irony of the whole situation is that even after she has won awards, recognition and leadership status at all levels, her very basic need, justice, remains unfulfilled! “Only justice can fill my belly, not awards,” says Bhanwari Devi in response to a question from the audience about whether or not she had been recognised by international awards.

    Re-sharing an article by Rishi Gangoly of The Zeitgeist Movement: We use the word ‘product’ to describe tangible commodities we can own. But let’s be clear that a product is really a service in disguise, and neither can have owners. See, products are never owned. Never were, never will be, by anyone – all the way from the creator to the consumer. Look at some examples of what we call products: computers, phones, watches, cars, ovens, houses, clothing, food, water, oxygen – okay, oxygen isn’t a product, but neither was water till a few decades ago, so you know where this is going.

Haven't we all grown up listening to such stories? I don't think any of us read stories that went – "Once upon a time, there was a democracy, with elected representatives who were answerable to the people through the electoral process, the courts and the Lokpal." We know the first line well. We don't know how it works in the second line at all. Therein lies the problem in pushing through the Lokpal Bill.

The hackers pitched their 9 ideas with a great zeal in an attempt to attract similar minded developers (4 were made). The technologies used were equally interesting.

  • Short Take : Indians Can Now Read Maps!

    24 May 2013 | 10:30 pm
    I was recently trying to find a friend’s place in Kolkata. The cabbie driving the endearing but rattly old Ambassador was new to the city and seemed nonplussed. He said – and I translate and paraphrase a much more colorful use of words – “You have internet on the phone, na? You can see the map on that – and we’ll get close enough and then ask someone.” As it turned out, that strategy had to be employed since Google had shown us a route right through a one way street in the opposite direction, so local information imposed on top of the map came in handy. But hey, the…

    24 May 2013 | 9:30 pm
    Risk Culture – Contextually Defined Risk. Everyone takes it to some extent. “Calculated risk” makes one feel one’s taking a lesser risk. Equity investments are higher risk than debt ones and so on. And returns are “risk adjusted”, to be meaningful. Managing risk is the whole purpose of a B-School student, and professor. Reducing risk is the aim of most who go through our education system and look to get a good job. Entrepreneurs, per popular belief, take much more than usual. And not taking a risk is a huge risk, many believe. But really, what matters most is your own personal…

    An engineering graduate, aged about 22, is already unfit to become a startup employee, said an entrepreneur to me last month. He is too old, too tired and has too much baggage. “Really! What are you saying?” His logic goes something like this: Say you finished college and most of your peers are at large services companies like Accenture. By this time, you’ve invested quite a bit of time and energy on the degree. You’ve gone through some of the toughest entrance exams and cleared 48 papers. Burned the midnight oil, racked your brains and what not. Its time for you to reap the…

    When I moved to the Dallas-FortWorth metroplex a couple of years ago, I was shocked by the sheer number and variety of Indian restaurants here. Having lived in a smaller town for many years before, I had gotten used to the ‘Americanized’ version of desi food. So the authenticity of tastes and regional styles of cuisines was quite refreshing. For the next year or so, my family went on a quest of finding the best Indian restaurants in town, trying a new one every couple of weeks. We visited the highly advertised ones, the well-known ‘biggies’, the small hole-in-a-wall types and…

These banks then turn around and lend this money to others. This simple business model is how banks have operated for 1000′s of years and thrived on the difference of what interest they gave to depositors and what interest they received on outstanding loans. Over time, banks started to offer more and more products to generate more and more revenues. Many of these products were…

After long discussions with his friends he came up with just two: she should be pretty (no brainer, all guys want pretty girl as wife) she should be working (costs are escalating, so it's better to have two income) It looked reasonable for his parents and like any responsible Indian parents, they were proud of their kid – for being thoughtful and reasonable. They went searching and one fine day he got married.

If we consider the 12 year period from 1995 to 2006 the figure is close to 200,000: the exact figure (190,753) would be an underestimation since a couple of major states like Tamil Nadu and Rajasthan and a number of smaller states like Pondicherry did not report any farmers’ suicides for one or the other – or both - of these two years. Thus, going by the official data, on average nearly 16,000 farmers…

  • Bharat Ki Kahani India Ki Zubani...

    “There is no one out there reading your story. There is no one who will take a step because of your story. It is just a numb, self-absorbed world that is slowly consuming itself, from light to darkness, from darkness to darkness” – Kota Neelima in Shoes of the Dead Although these words are from a fiction novel on farmer suicides, they could well be a factual statement of India today, of the uncaring and comatose educated classes that comprise the cities and towns of India. This is not just about farmer suicides – but about everything. Just about everything. Our sickening carelessness…

  • Book Review: Inferno by Dan Brown

    18 May 2013 | 10:38 pm
    The latest from the pen  of Dan Brown – Inferno -  is, in my opinion, his best work – including The Da Vinci Code. While The Da Vinci Code used a combination of religion and fast-paced narrative, the book under review manages to hold its own without the additional support from our core beliefs, or our curiosity. This one does not incite controversy, and is yet a superbly fast-paced thriller.  THE PLOT It is very, very different from The Da Vinci Code or The Lost Symbol in just about every way imaginable. There are no dead bodies in the first 10 pages from where the story…

  • Corporate India, work stress and employee dissatisfaction

    15 May 2013 | 9:05 pm
    Image courtesy: The Economic TImes Now add one or two other little tit-bits of information that make the picture complete... first, the rising incidence of stress and mental ill-health, as was brought out on a recent report on the IT industry - and second, the rising family tensions and divorce rates. Add the two - and you have the makings of a shakespearean tragedy. I am making an extremely bold move in this article - openly criticizing these matters while being a member of corporate India. But something will have to be done; I dont know whether this small contribution will help or not...

    25 May 2013 | 3:11 am
    Los Angeles - Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen believes “imperfections make us unique and beautiful”, and so women must look real and raw in their photographs instead of being caked with make-up. She came to realise this after working with US-based apparel brand BLK DNM’s creative director Johan Lindeberg, who persuaded her to go make-up free. “I loved his approach because I feel like women should be real and raw and it doesn’t really happen anymore (in fashion photographs). I love that feeling of, you know, we are women and we are so different,”…
