Hola barcelona

Aesthetic monuments, incredible architecture and friendly people... a city with one of the oldest, most unique histories blended with exquisiteness of its impressive culture... Barcelona, the second-largest city of Spain and one of the world’s most popular travel destinations has it all. In fact, Barcelona has two distinct faces. One being that of a fast-pacing metropolis and the other of a rich cultural heritage. Legend has it that the city was built by Hercules before building Rome, and later rebuilt by Carthaginian Hamilcar Barca, Hannibal’s father who named it Barcino after his family name in the 3rd century.

Nestled between the Collserola Hills to the north and the Mediterranean Sea to the south, Barcelona has a Mediterranean climate with mild, humid winters and warm, dry summers. Barcelona has many architectural marvels dating back to the medieval times. One of them is the still unfinished church of Sagrada Familia. A work of Antoni Gaudi, it has been under construction since 1882 and is expected to be completed by 2026, the 100th death anniversary of Gaudi which makes it one of the most sought after tourist hotspots in Spain. Some other Gaudi works include Park Guell, Palau Guell and Casa Mila, all declared World Heritage sites in 1984.

Barcelona is also famous for its belief in sports, especially football, and has been host to numerous sporting events like the 1982 Football World Club. Lovers of the sport visiting FC Barcelona, a famous sports club with a seating capacity of 1,00,000 can shop for sports memorabilia of their favourite teams at the shops in and around the stadium which sell footballs autographed by noted players and t-shirts with the player’s names written across. Expectedly, the original autographed footballs and t-shirts would be rather expensive than what you might expect and there is no scope for bargaining!

Shares his thoughts on Creative Capitalism & Infosys’

Kris Gopalakrishnan, CEO, Infosys, shares his thoughts on Creative Capitalism & Infosys’ social initiatives in this exclusive interview with Priyanka Rajpal of B&E

Q: Kindly share Infosys’ initiatives on these lines.
KG: Creative Capitalism is an evolving concept and we are keenly following its evolution. We like to consider some of our initiatives in education a part of Creative Capitalism – namely the Special Training Program (STP) program and Project Genesis. The STP enables unemployed graduates and post-graduates in technical streams from disadvantaged socio-economic backgrounds to compete on an equal footing in the job market. Likewise, Project Genesis helps students from tier 2 and tier 3 towns to hone their skills to match the requirements of the BPO industry. These programs are run in collaboration with universities and the government. It is implemented as a consortium with Infosys, E&R Campus Connect team/Infosys BPO team, state and central Governments, academia partners, and other industry/corporate partners. The program is aimed at unemployed engineering graduates.

They are trained not only in technical areas, but more importantly, are groomed holistically through personality development programs that address their self-confidence, life skills, proficiency in English and process and quality-related orientation. Post the training, Infosys/IBPO and other IT/ITeS companies conducts job fairs where these students are placed or can seeks jobs with the best employers in the industry.
Genesis has similar programs, but is directed towards graduates in subjects other than engineering for employment in BPO-based businesses. In addition, it has extended the program to cater to physically-challenged individuals as well. Not only do these programs help students develop their skills, but at the same time, they create opportunities by bridging the employment gap in urban and rural India; bringing more people into the fold of capitalism and making it more inclusive.

B&E: According to you, what is the difference between Creative capitalism and CSR?
KG: Both as individuals and as companies, we have a responsibility towards society to help those less fortunate than ourselves. Corporate Social Responsibility is a form of responsible philanthropy. It involves organizations assessing their impact on and benefit derived from society. This must also be accompanied by organizations striving to improve the quality of life of those that exist in the societies within which they operate. Infosys is keenly aware of its social obligations and has established the Infosys Foundation as the execution arm of the company’s efforts towards this end. In healthcare and education, Infosys Foundation has contributed to the construction of hospital wards, made donations of advanced equipment, organized health camps and distributed medicines to underprivileged sections of society. The Infosys super-specialty section at the Sassoon Hospital in rural Pune is a case in point. This caters mainly to underprivileged patients with little or no access to good-quality medical treatment.

The Infosys Foundation also supports several schools in under-developed areas and has created a number of free public libraries. The Education and Research group conducts the Infosys Extension Program which includes programs that reach out to students in rural areas right from class 5 up to the level of research work leading to a PhD. It focuses on providing students exposure to computer training and educating them about the opportunities that are available to them for career progression.

Creative capitalism, in many ways, is an evolution of CSR. To put it figuratively, CSR aims to provide fish to feed the hungry; Creative Capitalism aims to teach the needy how to fish, thereby securing their future. It’s about making Capitalism – the essential philosophy of profit-generation, more socially responsible, equitable and sustainable. It’s about shaping the future and creating avenues for development, while also addressing the needs of the underprivileged sections of society.

IRDA: INSURANCE REFORM

Allowing insurance companies to park investors’ money in VC funds will jeopardise their future

Performance of VC funds has always been under scanner. Kalpana Jain, Senior Director, Deloitte India (for those who do not know, Deloitte handles more than 50% of the PE deals worldwide) avers to B&E, “Only three out of every 10 PE deals turn out to be a success.” On the other hand International Finance Corporation in one of its working papers titled, ‘Commercial Discipline for Development Impact’ has mentioned, “Even well-performing private equity funds tend to have only 10%-20% winners.” That simply means when insurers will put investors’ money in VC funds, they will actually be betting on a less than 30% success ratio. So, now on investors must keep their fingers crossed while paying premium for the safety of their future.

However, supporters of IRDA may argue that the regulator has not allowed insurers to put in a large share of the investors money in VC funds. But then, when the government and the regulator are moving forward together to bring in the much needed reform in the sector, what makes them allow to experiment in an area where they cannot go big even in the future. This may be considered as a step taken by the regulator to add some momentum to the flow of funds. However, quite sceptical about it Prashant avers, “This will not have an immediate impact on fund flow as the customer does not understand this asset class fully as they have not been much exposed to it.” Thus even this purpose of IRDA is not going to be fulfilled with the step taken. Better than that IRDA must allow insurers to venture into other asset classes where they can invest higher amounts and still keep the investors money safe. Else, the healthy looking tan will soon engulf his future turning out to be a deadly cancer for the industry.

OIL DRILLING: DEMS VERSUS REPUBLICANS

Obama encourages the formation of this team to debate US oil drilling

By government’s own admission, 18 billion barrels of crude remain untapped in America’s restricted hinterland. Yes, the Democrats claim they do not want to be stooges of oil behemoths, about which they often blame the Republicans. But beyond this, is the fact that there is little chance of cutting down on oil prices even if such drilling were allowed. Firstly, the actual output will take more than a decade to flow, and the cost is colossus. Secondly, America in all has only 3% of world’s oil reserves, whereas annaully it consumes 20% – another reason why, as the Dems argue, drilling might not influence the price of oil. On the other hand, Republican’s have a meaty issue for their flagging electoral cause. The gasoline price rise is hurting the US middle class, and this issue has got an immediate media attention, with Democrats on the defensive. Notwithstanding reality, studies now reveal that nearly half of the electorate believes in the fact that oil prices will subside if crude is drilled in their own country. Didn’t we tell you Obama is the bright spot in Dem county?

Dial ‘C’...

..for ‘Cell’...a cancer cell!

As far as the accounts of history go, I don’t think that man has ever been more conscious about his health than he is today. This is to the extent, that if breathing wasn’t ‘it’, by now books like ‘10 ways to keep away from breathing on highways’ would have hit the bookstores.

So, for a change, there is another habit (not reflexive like breathing) that has hooked human beings of all shapes, sizes and attitudes – much more dangerous and addictive than the banal smoking – talking on mobile phones. Well, not that we weren’t aware that it could be harmful for the ears etc., but that it can cause malignant tumours in the brain in much lesser time than you could have imagined is but horrifying.

The results of a 14-month investigation by the Canberra-based top Neurosurgeon, Vini G Khurana, has got the world to rethink its way of living. In his report, he gives enough evidences to warn the governments, telecom industry and the users about the deadly effects of simultaneous electro-magnetic exposure caused by the radiations released from radio and TV towers, cordless phone base stations, wireless etc. The report clearly establishes link between long-term usage of mobile phones and some malignant forms of tumours in the brain. Unfortunately, this ‘long-term’ isn’t that long! Ten years is the time-period within which the cancerous growth may show up, making it an even bigger threat than smoking and asbestos, where the effects show up after a certain age.

Professor Challis, an experts on mobile phone radiation has enlightened the media by revealing that about 40% of the radio energy of the mobile or wireless phone is absorbed into one’s head. The exposure caused by mobile phone is 200 times more than sending an email using wi-fi technology. “The risk is even larger in children than in adults since their brain is still growing and the skull is thin. In fact, anybody using mobile phone for two hours everyday for a year is quite prone to catching an ailment in the next five to seven years,” tells Dr. Pankaj Kumar Jha, a practicing Neurosurgeon.

We thought only Elvis was doped

Argentina’s government grows bizarre; inflation, as per them, rocks!

Argentina is bleeding. The sky rocketing inflation is neutralising whatever benefit the high growth rate is giving its population. But surprisingly, to counter this problem, the government has taken bizarre steps to satisfy its electorates. It has doctored Consumer Price Index (CPI) to show inflation lower than what it actually is. The updated CPI (June 10, 2008) shows that each time the price of any product increases too much, it will be taken out from the list presuming that consumers will shift to other products. According to government statistics, inflation is just around 9%, whereas the real figure is terribly higher.

Alfonso Prat-Gay, former Central Bank Governor, estimates the inflation figure to be hovering around a whopping 32%. Dante Sica, Director of Abaceb, a consulting firm, opines that the figure would be 16% to 18%, while Poliarquia, a pollster, reveals the figure was 54% in February and 26% in May, 2008.

Talking is dumb

Talking is dumb

It’s hilarious! While the NATO and US keep on accusing Pakistan for not being proactive and strong enough for anti-terrorism activities in Afghanistan and even in Pakistan; Pakistan blames Afghans for the same.

Despite their being many well-staged ‘peace’ talks between Pakistani and Taliban militants, and agreements being signed by Pakistan and the North Western Swat Valley, and even talks with pro-Taliban rebels in tribal groups around Afghanistan, there has been a sizeable death of NATO members and soldiers in Afghanistan. There have been numerous examples when the US led coalition and Afghan policemen have been killed during attacks. Militant attacks have only risen over the past few years at the Afghanistan-Pakistan border.

RURAL INDIA: ELECTRIFICATION

Electricity is still a hope..

The Government had earlier pressed the CPSUs into service to assist State electricity boards in the work of rural electrification and distribution reforms. The scheme is being implemented by the state-owned Rural Electrification Corporation, which is providing 90 per cent of the capital cost of the programme on behalf of the Centre as grant for creating rural electricity distribution backbone.

Under the proposed rural electrification plan, States should have mapped and detailed the electrification delivery mechanisms (grid or standalone) on an urgent basic. For the purpose of rural electrification, a village would mean a census village.

US: PROSECUTION

It’s amazing how US continues to execute ‘criminals’, blind to the fact that many convictions could be wrong

It further reveals that African-American defendants receive the death penalty at thrice the rate of white defendants (especially in cases where the victims are white). Moreover, killers of whites are treated more strictly than killers of the non-whites. In a survey of 1,788 male inmates by Human Rights Watch, about 21% claimed they had been forced into sexual activity and raped during confinement.

Clearly, Illinois’ Governor George Ryan’s statement in January 2000 was less hyperbole and more of pertinent argument, when he said, “I cannot support a system which, in its administration, has proven so fraught with error and has come so close to the ultimate nightmare – the state’s taking of innocent life... Until I can be sure everyone sentenced to death in Illinois is truly guilty, ...no one will meet that fate.”

Even now the Nebraska top Court’s ruling uses an electric chair that violates the state Constitution’s ban on cruel and inhumane punishment. Strangely, the US Supreme Court has repeatedly declared lethal injection to be ‘uncruel’ and humane, in spite of documented evidence that the cocktail of drugs used to execute criminals could cause severe anguish. Well, what more can you expect of a nation, whose people argue more about Paris Hilton’s dressing sense, and debate more about Britney Spears’ marital problems, than of severe human indiscretions.

Onboard spicejet

Why is aggression in fleet size increase and pan-India penetration ‘illogical’ for SpiceJet and other LCCs in the current times? B&E’s steven philip warner presents an insight...

“What the hell is going on? It’s a bloody godforsaken route… How can we fly with just five passengers?” shouted a SpiceJet official as we were waiting in the lobby of the carrier’s office in Gurgaon; words that gave us more than just an idea of the ‘discomfort’ prevailing in the LCC camps in the domestic aviation sector. Ten minutes later, we found ourselves seated in a ‘simple’ cabin which belonged to Siddhanta Sharma, Executive Chairman, SpiceJet Limited. There was just one photograph on the wall, that of Mother Teresa, perhaps a sign of what was missing in the hearts of many at SpiceJet and other LCCs – peace! Four cigarette buds snubbed on the ashtray revealed that the man on the desk (we were still waiting for him) had been extremely busy of late. And finally, the cup of black coffee on his table, silent & still… getting colder by the minute, perhaps symbolizing the half-hearted smiles flashed by LCCs who once dreamt of making it big; the only ‘big’ things they got were ‘big’ aircrafts & ‘bigger’ elusive dreams!

Domestic aviation is clearly at a crossroads. While on one hand, players are losing out on precious funds, on the other, rising fares are ensuring a fall in demand by the day for LCCs. Full Service Carriers (FSCs) on the contrary, are gaining lost ground; sad news for the middle-class Indians, is how we put it. Siddhanta justifies the thinning situation as, “As far as the fares are concerned, low cost does not mean that your fares remain low and constant. Also, one reason why market share has gone in favour of some fsc carriers is because they have been adding capacity as well.” If that’s so, why isn’t SpiceJet adopting an aggressive strategy to increase fleet size from the current 17? Explains a logical Siddhanta: “Today is the question of survival! You can’t be aggressive just for the heck of it! We just can’t go on adding capacity illogically. Given our philosophy of maintaining the same aircraft types, there are not many destinations you can go to where you can fill 189 seats every time.”

Time to take on the Dragon

US model of capitalism will take many countries like India nearer to China’s level of prosperity

Though there has been no formal cold war between two emerging Asian giants China and India, their growing economic and military presence raises many global concerns about geo-political stability which has become one of the most imperative agendas on the global stage especially for geopolitical interests of superpowers. In such circumstances, Bush’s growing interest towards Indo-US alliance seems to a very prodigious strategy in long term which also impliedly indicates India’s edge over the Chinese Dragon. Though, in many socio-economic indicators, including GDP growth, literacy, poverty eradication and China’s impressive performance in attracting FDIs, have taken China well ahead of India. India has been able to attract just half amount of FDIs, compared to China, and is far behind when it comes to really establishing world-class manufacturing facilities. But a deeper look assures that India has greater competitive edge over the Dragon in long run. It has succeeded to achieve almost equal economic growth rate as that of China, with less than half the amount of China’s FDI. It exhibits India’s greater efficiency in effective utilisation of limited funds. And those big manufacturing facilities that are engineering China to global economic power status, is mostly caused by massive foreign investments. So, wide range of products might be made in China, but not necessarily made by China, whereas in the case of India, made in India is more often synonymous to made by India.

China has been able to attract massive FDIs because of its faster economic liberalisation and introduction of privatisation in its agricultural industry. India has been slow and late in that respect. But what really is driving India and will take it ahead of China, is its strong and booming corporate sector backed by country’s rule of law and strong financial system. Democratic quasi-capitalism model and drive towards the US model of capitalism is actually helping India create more entrepreneurs and increasing competitive environment. Emergence of world-class Indian MNCs like Infosys, Wipro, TCS in software industry, Ranbaxy, Cipla in pharmaceutical industry, Mahindra in auto sector, and conglomerates like Tatas, Birlas and Reliance and there are many lined up to soar; is a sign of it. But business environment in China isn’t same. Businesses are frightened because of quasi-feudalistic rule of laws.

BUDGET: INCREMENTAL BUDGETING

The budgeting process is planned as per changes forecast last year

The achievement of the economy will fall short of credibility if we do not address the endemic hunger, lack of education and low standard of public healthcare. Our per capita spending on education is $26 (annually), as against $8,900 in the US! Our health expenditure (per capita) is $24, while the US spends $6,096 per person per year! The rural housing programmes have not been successful either. The insurance cover is far lower than that in the West.

Despite its limitations, most rich nations follow Incremental Budgeting, whereas developing countries follow Repetitive Budgeting. India, with one-sixth of the world’s population, needs to urgently and massively increase its allocation in the social sector in order to rid itself of poverty, disease and illiteracy. Should not then this system of budgeting be taken into account?

what he has done in real estate?

Not many have achieved this globally. But he wants to do in hotel industry what he has done in real estate. By siddhartha nahata

The spokesperson of ITC Welcome Group Hotel explains, “Both of them are totally different businesses. The common factor might be the layout of the property, but after that in the hotel business you enter into services, which is different from real estate. You need to have specialisation in logistics, manpower, and maintaining standards.” This is amplified by Nisheeth Srivastva, Director, Federation of Hotel & Restaurant Associations of India (FHRAI), who claims, “There are many differences between the hotel and real estate industry. The dynamics of the hotel industry are way too different, but at the same time a real estate player also has an advantage of having his own experience of property layout.”

Well, Singh has decided to walk on this untreaded path. The plans are gigantic and they can make DLF the number one hotelier in the country, ahead of Indian Hotel Company (IHC). IHC has a room inventory of 9,000 rooms and plans to double it in the next two years. But DLF has chalked out a mega plan of 25,000 rooms spread across different segments (luxury, business, leisure & recreational). Actually, DLF has made headway in implementing the plan. The construction of 6,000 rooms is under process across major cities and tourist destinations.

Singh’s confidence can be measured by the fact that he plans to list the hotel division (along with the separate listings of other divisions). DLF’s company spokesperson says that “work towards the listing of the hotel division is on track and has made significant advancements.” The plan looks perfect. To make his journey an easier one, Singh has struck deals with the world renowned hotel majors like Four Seasons and Hilton. The sharp-minded Singh was quick enough to gauge the importance of inorganic growth to make it big in the hotels business. Recently, DLF acquired the global leading luxury hospitality chain Aman Resorts for $400 million giving it a presence in the international hospitality realm. Such deals will help DLF to master its skills in crucial areas such as manpower, logistics, and supply chain.

POVERTY: DONATIONS

Peace, pride and prosperity can’t be imposed, bought or sold

Economic boom of Botswana and shrinking future of Zimbabwean economy proves how quality of governance makes vast difference in last few decades. The history is not different in most African countries. Moreover, illiterate local tribal leaders, corrupt politicians, officials, local police, mafias have left nothing good in their countries.

The World Bank urges developed nations to aid poor countries. They are doing so. External annual aids to Africa are going to touch $25 billion by 2010. Aid is really not helping them. Peace in Sierra Leone, Liberia, Angola, Ethiopia and Eritrea is in progress and even Congo is now better than what it was a year ago, as they all strived for it. Aids have put these countries on crutches. Over-dependence on aids has discouraged entrepreneurial spirits, proactive participation on revenue generation and fuelled bribery, corruption et al. The World Bank has to keep in mind that pride and prosperity can neither be imposed nor be bought or sold. Those who have fought and strived for development, have achieved it. But will the World Bank heed to this?

Voices from within & outside

Capt. G. R. Gopinath

While on one hand, Modi did much for the urban population in Gujarat, on the other, he also made efforts and opened up various facilities for the rural masses. Moreover, he did everything fast and therefore the result was there before everyone to see within a short interval of time.

Founder, Deccan Aviation



Sushma Swaraj

Citizens are realizing what they are lacking in today’s time. At the grassroots, people are much more informed. So development is becoming a very important factor not just in deciding who wins but also who does not win. Also, Congress could not come up with an issue. And that led to their defeat. BJP MP, Rajya Sabha



Abhishek Manu Singhvi

Quick fix generalisation can be dangerous. The general rebuke of development is also too amorphous, to become the sole determinant of victory or loss. Does this mean that the BJP didn’t develop when it lost the union election in 2004 or for that matter Maharashtra assembly or the Haryana assembly and so on?

Congress Spokesperson & MP, Lok Sabha



Rajiv Pratap Rudy

If you look at the UPA government, PM Manmohan Singh is undoubtedly treated as a honest man but the perception of him giving a strong political leadership is completely absent which does not advantage the political party he represents.

Tau Tau in Haryana!

Devi Lal’s political capital is depleting

Devi Lal, ‘Tau’ to the world of politics in Haryana & Deputy Prime Minister for two short terms, is one of the founders of the state, in the mid 1960s and is seen as the natural inheritor to the Chottu Ram legacy, the legendary Jat leader of pre-1947 Punjab. He became Chief Minister, riding the anti-Emergency wave in 1977 and since then, dominated the state like a colossus. A member of Congress till 1971, he became a bitter anti-Congress leader for the rest of his political life. He won simultaneous elections from two constituencies in the anti-Congress wave of 1989, from Rohtak in Haryana and Sikar in Rajasthan. Son and former Haryana Chief Minister, Omprakash Chauthala told B&E: “My father gave the respect that farmers needed. He practically built Haryana and laid down the foundation of a strong agricultural society. That is why he is worshipped here.” Chauthala, aware that the Assembly elections are still far away, is looking for a national role for himself, in any United Front Government that may come to power in next general elections. His sons, Ajay & Abhay, too are waiting in the wings. While Ajay is a MP, Abhay is content with state politics.
