Salubriously ‘Effervescent’

IIPM BEST MBA INSTITUTE
Investment in R&D, as well as the development of new drug molecules, has not been a paramount directive for the industry. Generics have formed the backbone, and the country has excelled at that, leaving patented original developments outside its purview. Providing cheaper and good quality derivatives to the masses in India and other third world countries, today there are about 20,000 registered manufacturers across the country manufacturing medicines worth $300 billion. Liberalisation of the economy has further helped the industry, as now duties on expensive imported equipment vital for manufacturing have come down considerably. The country is home to corporations like Ranbaxy, Cipla, Wockhardt and Dr. Reddy’s Labs, which have established themselves as trusted multinationals with operations spreading magnanimously to the European & American continents.

HP Chairwoman’s Dunn by pretexting!
She is often referred to as being charismatic and an expert at whatever she does. She pursued a course in journalism at the University of California working along side as a part-time reporter. Her skill for handling people got her recognised and eventually paved way for her successive promotions at Wells Fargo Investment Advisers. Plagued by breast cancer, she stepped down as the CEO of Barclays Global Investors. Yes, we are talking about none other than Patricia Dunn, who came to be associated with HP in 1998 as a board member and soon rose to the post of the Executive Chairman. But January 2007 will see Dunn stepping out, only to be succeeded by the current CEO Mark Hurd. This down turn in her career comes in the wake of a scandal where the board members were spied on to find out who was responsible for disclosing information from board meetings to the press. And all this is known to have taken place with Dunn’s approval. It was revealed that, a firm hired by HP resorted to pretexting (lying about one’s identity) to get their hands on the personal phone records of nine journalists, directors and employees of HP. Pretexting is actually unlawful in California. There are also chances that Dunn may be tried by the law.

“We are going to launch seven new models,” Pawan Munjal

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
For starters, the Haridwar plant will have a capacity of around 1.5 million in three years and the first product is expected to roll out by the next year. The expansion plans are in sync with this forever growing industry. While Rajiv Bajaj is shooting from his hip by planning to launch a plethora of new models, Hero Honda is not far behind in biting the bullet, with Pawan Munjal parrying strongly, “We are going to launch seven new models this year; and this (trend) will continue for years to come.”

The expansion seems exciting, but the million dollar question is, will Hero Honda be trounced this time around by the wannabe champs? Kalpesh Parekh, AVP Equity Research, ASK Raymond James, disputes agitatedly, “Hero Honda is a great company and it has the ability to bounce back strongly. The need of the hour is to focus on new products, innovative designs & on the pricing strategy.”

As Hero Honda is gearing up for new launches, the company should be looking forward to plug different price points and give the consumers, much wider choices to gain the maximum.

Bollywood’s best couple...

IIPM PUBLICATION

SRK-Rani? Nah... it’s Munna & Circuit!
On one of those umpteen exciting (well, they are trying very hard uindeed) reality-based shows on the telly these days, they are all set to short- list the 99 hottest on- screen c o u p l e s e v e r in Bollywood. We decided not to wait for the telly show verdict to find out, and did some digging to find the reigning favourites...

For our own little contribution to the exemplary efforts at knowledge updation in Bolly’s wood, we got around to some hard work by way of trekking in and out of those dark-and-cool Dolby dens, ready with a keen eye for chemistry.

And then we spotted it. Yeah, it’s a ‘chemical locha’ indeed because we zeroed in on the Dutt- Warsi duo, instead of the usual brawn & beauty combine! Actually, since we were a little confused about the pairing in Kabhi Alvida… and of course, with all due regards to Mr. Bose and Miss. Sherawat, we concluded our quest with the fine vibes between the Gandhi-godfathered goons, Munna and Circuit.

Sparklingly fresh – as fresh as a sequel can warrant – are the antics of the tapori Butch and the Kid jodi that continues to successfully tickle a generation that was deigned resigned to the obsession sagas of the Bhatts’ Babis er, babes or the cuss-and-kiss tales of their kin (Hashmi, show them some streak of your lineage, boy!).

In fact, the leading lady, Vidya Balan seems to look like she hates the idea of getting in the way of a ‘love’ – a la Kuch Kuch Hota Hai – that is destined to only get better with every sequel! Kaanta Ben jokes apart, we love our Munna and that munda, Circuit!
