Concrete Harmony!


... to put your house in order!


A Concrete Harmony!pleasantly fragrant whiff of air even as you stroll through the lobby; large glass panels, sun rays penetrating through them; beautified walls coupled with light music soothing the senses… Not exactly the setting for a hospital, but if that’s what hospitals were like, healing would become a lot easier & perhaps faster too. Shaking your head in disagreement, are you? Well, it may sound uncanny but the architecture, colours, textures & even shapes affect human behaviour to an extent, that if used effectively, can foster therapeutic healing. . . Concrete Harmony!Healing architecture, in simple terms, can be explained as designing the structure of the building such, that it causes a general feel good mood. And this concept of healing is increasingly gaining prominence the world over, which “till now was ignored while designing a building”, opines Dr. Dharmendra Nagar, MD, Paras Hospitals. While ‘beauty’ forms an indispensable part of such therapy, the structure must functionally be in tune with nature to get that perfect healing touch. “Allowing natural light into the buildings, especially ICUs, helps patients be less prone to depression & reduces the risk of a common problem, Concrete Harmony!‘ICU psychosis’, where patients lose all bearings regarding time & space. . . & therefore quicker recovery,” says Dr. Nagar. A case study at the South Downs Health NHS Trust in the UK revealed that when original architecture of lodgings from a Victorian, brick institution with unusually high ceilings (accommodating 15 patients in one large room) was changed to single wards & its name changed to a more pleasing Mill View Hospital Hove, there was a significant improvement in patients’ recovery, who also seemed extremely satisfied with the Concrete Harmony!treatment as well! Similarly, many places like St. Vincent’s Hospital, Indianapolis & Kosair Children’s Hospital, Louisville, apart from others are redesigning wards to give a personal space for patients, fostering their recovery & instilling in them a sense of inner tranquillity that affected them in ways that’ll perhaps never be known to the staunch believers in medicine & technology!

The energy gamble


Anil’s presence rests on his energy empire’s future potential


Power Anil’s presence rests on his energy empire’s future potential  corrupts, and absolute power can be a mirage that can faze even the hardened veterans. Reliance Energy is all about power. Not the power that the Ambanis are famed to have exercised over the last few decades. It is about generating and distributing electricity. So far, Anil Ambani has displayed the ‘Ambani’ brand of grand proportions while announcing power projects.

Power generation would be the ticket that could propel Anil into the stratosphere of corporate stardom that is now monopolized by Mukesh. If the plans do pan out eventually, Reliance Energy can become the behemoth that Reliance Industries is today. After all, the Tenth Five Year Plan has projected that India needs to add 1,00,000 MW of capacity by 2012 if power cuts are to become a memory. Even if Anil manages to grab 20% of that, the business would be worth Rs.500 billion every year. Add transmission and distribution, where Reliance Energy already plays a role in Mumbai, Delhi and Orissa, and you get a glimpse of the power house that Anil can create.

Like all fairy tale stories in real life, this one too has a few blemishes. For one, the power projects are dependent on gas that will be supplied by the parent Reliance. Till the brothers were together, Mukesh and Anil could indulge in creative internal transfer pricing to kill any birds with one stone. Now, Anil will need to buy gas from Mukesh at market prices.

More importantly, Anil might find his power ambitions thwarted by politics. Th e eternal hunt for votes has forced major political parties to stall the Electricity Act of 2003. With the reform process in the dog house, bankrupt state electricity boards and massive transmission and distribution losses will mean no serious player will dare to enter the power sector.

The Ambanis are known to pull off miracles. If one particular Rajya Sabha member from U.P. concurs, Anil Ambani can persuade fellow politicians to allow power sector reforms; and then he might just snatch the ‘powerful’ tag from elder brother Mukesh.

One of the social initiatives undertaken by JSW – a rural BPO

Furthermore, One of the social initiatives undertaken by JSW – a rural BPOHar Ravindra Lal, AVP - HR, JSW adds, “We have pro-active approach and issues are addressed without much ado. If there’s no union it’s because the management acts as proxy union for them. This ultimately results into high involvement of people in all areas.” The company also undertakes various social& welfare initiatives which serve the company well.

Well, all of this was the real truth which we can marvel at – so much of it, yet so little! We could see the smoke coming out of the plant, as we bid farewell to the grand furnace at Vijayanagar and all that flashed across our minds was that we were witnessing a chronicle of one more global steel behemoth like Arcelor-Mittal, Nippon, Posco et al in the making.

‘Let’s make JSW world class, second to none – Sajjan Jindal’ (as a billboard proclaims). Sure enough, given the pattern in which JSW is painting success, it’s surely a mega-multi-billion dollar global steel corporation in the making! And the only question that now remains to be asked is – how long...?!

...outta 4 players!

Adjectives Mama, I just stood 4th are not enough to describe the feeling of magnificence which seeps in while sauntering around the sprawling hi-tech centre of Satyam Computers in Hyderabad. The 100-plus acre campus can easily be regarded as one of the most sophisticated and scenic sites for an IT enterprise in the country, which can loudly boast of golf courses, deer parks, dormitories and training facilities at par with the best in the world. And it all started with a journey that began in 1987, with the young management graduate Ramalinga Raju walking all the way!

Today, Satyam has evolved into a company which operates in 55 countries and has a strong base of 541 active clients. Over the years, Satyam has transformed into a complete IT solution provider with expertise in consulting and enterprise business solutions, integrated business solutions & application development & maintenance services. The global recognition of Satyam can also be judged by the fact that its client list includes 158 Fortune Global 500 giants!
