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. Besides being bogged down by fighting with minority stakeholders, DLF had decided it wanted to restate its financial earnings on its red herring prospectus.

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

MANAGEMENT GURU

‘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. The initial stages, particularly 2G became an instant hit because it revolutionised the way we communicated, making it ‘wirefree’, while focussing on the quality of voice transmission. 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.

MANAGEMENT GURU

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...!

Talking against defence imports is all balderdash with DRDO around

MANAGEMENT GURU

The Russian connection of the Indian armed forces is well proven and an arguably credible way to expend our billion dollar defence allocations. The meetings between Indian and Russian delegates during President Putin’s recent India visit raised speculations over the induction of a 5th generation Sukhoi fighter for the Indian Air Force (IAF) in the next decade. For a quick reference, the country’s latest addition, SU-30 MK1, is an advanced form of a 4th generation aircraft ; combined with its supersonic & nuclear capabilities, it is capable of penetrating deep into enemy territory.

But still, talk of any defence import & hackles are raised about its cost effectiveness, as critics always assert that it is better to place the money on in-house research (as in the likes of DRDO: Defence Research and Development Organisation) than import. Despite these pro-research arguments, slowly, and metaphorically surely, dissenting voices are coming up. As noted defence analyst Uday Bhaskar puts it to B&E, “A fighter aircraft is an expensive proposition, as it involves a lot of complex technology. One fighter platform may cost more than $150 million, while development costs may come to billions of dollars.”
