Learning from their formative violent past no one else but the...the deformed future generation...

This phenomenon has spread across more developed continents too. In South Asia, most militia organizations find it easier to recruit kids in their terrorist organisations, while in more developed countries of Western Europe & especially the US, peer pressure, frustration, identity crisis, jealousy & distorted childhood is giving rise to new generation of trigger happy children, who for a momentary pleasure of raised adrenaline can anytime go out for a killing spree in schools/colleges, such incidence of mass firing have became regular feature in the US.

At the crossroads of the millennium, mankind needs to take certain crucial decisions, as to whether all these, happening in the name of development (or in absence of it), would essentially make this world a happier place to live in or not? Which is certainly not so to begin with, it is better for mankind to go back to their basic instinct & make sure that their young ones are taken care of.

‘How has GCPL addressed this menace called attrition, of late?’

“We commenced a program, a few months ago, where we have a detailed career discussion with the employees. It would not be possible to meet the career aspirations of all, but having said that we have aggressively stepped up our efforts,” states Sumit. The company has gone onto institutionalise Employee Value Proposition (EVP), which creates a purpose for employees. Sumit divulges, “Under the EVP program, we have four sets. One is the balance score-card that we employ. Secondly, we give empowerment, which means that we have loosened our control. Thirdly, we have institutionalized a corporate university, wherein the employees can self-nominate for courses. Last but not the least; we have appreciation programs that go beyond salaries and wages. We empower our managers to give out token and rewards to employees directly.”

Under the employee incentive front, the employees are awarded incentives on the basis of EVA (Economic Value Added). Incentive programs, which form a component of individual performance, are used, and typically, the ratio of individual to collective is 20-25%. The incentives are paid out once a year... But most importantly, Sumit candidly admits that despite the best of efforts put in by GCPL, attrition rates manage to crop up. The company on its part is of course making efforts to curb this syndrome and is readying itself for bigger future HR challenges.

Uncaring to core

The vacillating Indian political class has once again proved its incompetence to stem the growing tide of communal frenzy in the nation. The UPA government-sponsored Communal Violence (Prevention, Control & Rehabilitation of Victims) Bill, 2005 is a half baked, hurriedly draft ed bill and is drawing flak from all quarters. Calling the bill a “dangerous piece of legislation”, eminent jurists, civil society activists, academics & legal experts have urged the government to begin the process of drafting the bill afresh. In a joint statement issued at the end of recently concluded “National Consultation” on the subject, the luminaries pointed out that the proposed draft will “strengthen the shield of protection enjoyed by the political leaders for their acts of omission and commission in these crimes. It is a Bill, which conceives of communal violence as nothing but a ‘one time’ event, rather than as a long-term politically motivated process and seeks to prevent it only by giving greater powers to state governments”.

Bare force?


Technically the fourth largest air force in the world, the Indian Air Force probably never had it so bad. Especially at a time when the nation’s increasing geopolitical and economic importance is expanding the strategic paradigm of the country’s air force. The same schizophrenic indecisiveness, which has so far delayed the modernisation of Indian Army, has literally crippled the air force. While its dwindling fleet of ageing MiGs is forcing it to reduce the number of squadrons much below the sanctioned level, the indigenous production of Sukhois have not been able to keep pace with the desired level. While the government has been unable to bring out the tender of the much needed 126 MRCAs, the ageing SAMs are adding to the woes. This, at a time when China and Pakistan have been vociferously investingin their air forces. While we self defeatingly dither on crucial purchases, India’s government goes one step ahead and continues investing in the ostensible research capabilities of ISRO and similar ineffi cient domestic organisations, which have been able to deliver zilch!

WPP’s advance booking syndrome...

GroupM, the media buying agency of WPP Group is buying advertising time valued at around $1 billion from NBC Universal’s television as well as digital properties. It involves both day time and prime time programming. Bravo (the cable property of NBC), Spanish language programming and Internet sites are also covered by the agreement. Last year there had been confusion on the structure of the deals as previously the deals for the commercial time were based on the number of viewers. Since the introduction of DVRs, broadcasters as well as advertisers had to rethink. Nielson Media thus introduced live plus three, a rating method that tracks viewers watching commercials both live and on DVR. Supposedly, the NBC– Group M deal is based on this particular rating method.

“If you have achieved something today, you want to do better tomorrow”

The numbers do speak in favour of the company, as the results for the year ended March 2007 show. Income from operations grew by a huge 75% yoy to reach Rs.3.9 billion. PAT increased by nearly 64% & stood at Rs.792.5 million. While SREI has achieved tremendous growth in the asset book, revenues & profits over the past three years, it has not compromised on asset quality. Stringent provisioning norms have enabled SREI to keep its Non Performing Assets (NPAs) at near zero level. The company not only boasts of a strong national footprint with 46 branches across the country, but has also established global presence in Russia & Germany & holds the record of being the first Indian infrastructure financing company to list on LSE. The company plans a size of Rs.130-150 billion in the next few years.

Losing bagawali forever!

“Coca Cola welcomes you to Kala Dera” – no such banner greeted us but yes, the pathetic sight that greeted us gave rise to doubts about Coca Cola’s concern over groundwater-level depletion. Much as Coca Cola has helped locals as Dr. Ahuja (a doctor by profession and a regular visitor to Kala Dera who accompanied us throughout our visit) opined, “Development in infrastructure coupled with setting up of new industries has been a real boon for the people.” Accepted that the MNC has given means of livelihood to many, but certain discrepancies also creep in. On questioning, the likes of Krishna Murari, Suraj Kant Patwa (both grocery store owners), Govind Narayan Kumawat (a tailor), they reverted back with discontentment, “It’s a bad company. They bribe the officials and so it must be shut down...” Someone from amongst them further added, “Bagawali (a nearby river) has dried up. The water that we used to get at 70-feet below ground level is now difficult to get even at 100-feet today.” We were taken aback at the disclosure for sure! The owner of a medical hall also commented, “Water table is declining every year by 15-20 feet”. We were stunned – how could just one plant be the cause of drying up of a river?

Distress call!

A recently published report of the UN Environment Program (UNEP) states that a stupendous 2/3rd of the sediments flow into the oceans is attributable to South & East Asia. A similar report by the Department of Global Ecology of Carnegie Institution at the Stanford University states that around 25% of the annual consumption of fertilizers (present consumption estimated over 30 million tonnes), pesticides (more than 90,000 metric tones annually) and synthetic detergents (more than 1 lakh tonnes) finds recourse to sea water, having serious ramification for the future. That report further states that the total volume of annual discharge, only from Bombay & Calcutta, are to the tune of 365 MT and 350 MT, respectively. Add to this the much ambitious Sethusamudram Project – linking Palk Bay with the Gulf of Mannar – is expected to create major disturbance in the region’s marine life (flora and fauna in the region is constituted of 3,500 species).

Apple knows more about “clean” design than anybody, right?

Considering Apple’s wondrous ability to quickly disseminate information about its futuristic products and service (read Apple iPhone), this statement from Jobs holds no more significance than just being a fish story. However, after Realizing the significance of the damage done by the Greenpeace rankings, Apple quickly responded with a comprehensive report on its initiatives to become an environment friendly company. As per Jobs’s report ‘A Greener Apple’, the company has strategically planned to phase out hazardous substances like lead (already eliminated in 2006 and Apple stopped manufacturing CRT displays), mercury, PVC and arsenic (to be eliminated by 2008). Apart from this, Apple has also initiated its re-cycling programme way back in 1994 and it promises to be a world leader in eliminating e-waste by 2012.

Amping up the ramp!

To many, it might sound as an extension of their job, but if the man in the thick of it – Pataudi Jr. – is to be believed, then he is quite nervous about his maiden walk down the ramp. Saif is due to debut on the ramp, for endorsing a fashion brand, in a show to be choreographed by Mehr Jessia. Though Saif couldn’t make it as a cricketer, he could still learn a few tricks from Pataudi Sr., for Mansoor Ali in his heydays did carry a fair bit of panache on and off the ramp, easily overshadowing the current crop of cricketers and actors.
