With a flurry of masterstrokes, K. P. Singh has dominated the Indian real estate sector. But the much hyped DLF IPO is still to see the light of day..

IIPM PUBLICATION

The setting in late 2006 was picture perfect. The markets had witnessed one mammoth IPO by Reliance Petroleum Ltd. And K. P. Singh’s DLF was the next big wave in the wings, and K. P. Singh’s personal valuation was expected to sky rocket. As the front runner in India’s real estate development, what more could one expect? Real estate stocks were on a continuous ascendant, FDI was on the upswing and investors were falling over themselves to be a part of the Great Indian Realty Sweepstakes. But alas, the company ran into rough weather and had to pull back.

It was 3G which broke many hearts... but will 4G prove different?

‘The science of today is the technology of tomorrow’, a cliché apt for the tech-savy world we live in. To add to it all, the merging of wireless world and telecommunication has taken ‘communication technology’ to higher highs at dizzying speeds. And just when we were getting accustomed to the term, loud announcements of the entry of 4G was made.

It’s no-brainer that planning for the next generation must be done while the previous phase is being implemented. And the generations differ from each other on various aspects – right from their primary focus and speed of data transfer, to the degree of mobility.

Then an advanced generation (3G) caught on us, coupled with telecom operators heralding its entry with impressive promises of delivering various web-enabled services and multimedia features. But reality struck, hard... proving their ‘promises’ mere lies. Although the concept of 3G, which not only supported data and voice applications along with a GPRS (General Packet Radio System) platform was satisfying, it failed in terms of cost-eff ectiveness.

The Departed released amid a hoopla that copiously increased as critics vowed the film would dominate the year’s Oscars. With 5 nominations going up, the pundits sure were right! Remaking the 2002 Hong Kong crime-thriller Infernal Affairs, Martin Scorsese cast Leonardo DiCaprio as the cop who poses as a gangster and Matt Damon as the gangster who poses to be a cop. Leo, Matt an Jack Nicholson’s electrifying performances were compounded by Scorsese’s trademark kinetic style. With the movie perhaps being this illustrious director’s best ever, Scorsese’s sixth nomination for the Best Director is to bring him his first Oscar! Scorsese may begin on his thank you speech, right about now...!
