As the front runner in India’s real estate development, what more could one expect?

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL

And a broker who did not wish to be quoted told B&E that the going grey market price for the share was Rs.900, according to which this worth would shoot up even further to a mind boggling $31.3 billion. It is no wonder, therefore, that speculators feel that the DLF IPO would propel K. P. Singh to the topmost ranks of the world’s richest.

Of course, some things can be too good to be true, and DLF faces this very quagmire currently. For K. P. Singh, the adage, “Wait for the right time and you will have to wait forever” seems to be quite apt. SEBI is still investigating the charges by minority shareholders against DLF. And there is another issue that has cropped up recently; SEBI seems adamant to come down heavily on real estate companies that state their land valuations on futures in their red herring prospectus, which could affect DLF as well. And to top it all, while the minority shareholders issue spoilt the party last year; this time around, it seems that the entire real estate market seems to be catching cold feet.

The Krypton Dilemma

IIPM PUBLICATION

It is quite despicable that in 60 years since Independence, successive governments have criminally failed to provide even basic healthcare services to the masses. While almost 80% of India lives on less than $2/day (UNDP data), for the ‘rich’ rest, the private sector provides world-class healthcare solutions, coveted now even by foreigners... A sector update!

Krypton was where their son was born; the planet that his parents assumed would protect their newborn child, nurture him, and make him live a fulfilling life. Ironically, Krypton was the very planet that not only consumed all of its citizens in an explosive finale of self-destruction, but also forced the child’s parents to pack him off in a spaceship as a last ditch effort to save their only child, before dying themselves. The child escaped, and grew up in an alien planet – Earth, in this case. Ironically, it was here that he became Superman, an invincible hero with super powers, whose only nemesis remained Kryptonite, the remnants of his home planet, exposure to which could kill him instantaneously.

They say fiction mirrors reality more than one could believe. A billion plus Indians would stand evidence for the same, living a life worse than fiction on a daily basis, what with their own home country’s ‘Kryptonite-laden’ successive governments – who were supposed to protect them and nurture them to become global superheroes driving our economy to fantastic heights – providing a majority of them shameful and most dismal packages of healthcare services.

Que: Does the sub-prime mortgage meltdown underway have the potential of bringing down the U.S. economy? (Alan Marshall, Plymouth, Mich.)

MANAGEMENT GURU

Ans: Meltdown is a good word for the unfolding sub-prime mortgage mess, but the answer to your question is still “No.” This is not the savings and loan disaster of 1989, which helped send the U.S. economy into a recession. Today’s economy is so much more broad based and global, and its financial markets so much more liquid, that it can handle this relatively small problem without serious long-term damage. Of course the problem doesn’t feel small to the people living it. Thousands of families are being forced to move out and unload their properties. And in the companies that made the sub-prime loans, employees are facing layoff s in a weakened industry. Even with those disheartening stories, it’s important to recognise that sub-prime mortgage business is just a small percentage of a $15 trillion economy. Indeed, you can already see the economy’s overall resiliency and liquidity in the activities of several investment companies, such as Goldman Sachs, that are buying up portfolios of sub-prime loans at distressed prices.

We’re not saying the sub-prime crisis should be pooh-poohed. But even with its spillover effects it won’t kill the economy. Think big blip, not blowout.

Etihad flying on a bidding ride

MANAGEMENT GURU

Etihad Airways, a UAE-based airline devises to invite aircraft makers Airbus and Boeing to bid a call for single and twin-aisle aircraft in forthcoming year. As Abu Dhabi government plans to expand its network in Middle East and other nations like India, Etihad had an eye on new long range aircraft s including Airbus’s new A350 and Boeing’s 787 Dreamliner. Etihad, which has 25 aircraft s under its net, intends to add routes to growing markets like India, specifically to high potential destinations like Calcutta and Bangalore. Etihad estimates its revenues to rise 60%, boosting sales to $1.25 billion this year. This can be due to its expansion scheme as compared to that of 0.78 billion last year while managing 2.83 million passengers.
