BHARAT FORGE – this forging isn’t counterfeit : IIPM

IIPM Business & Economy
India might still be really far from being the largest car manufacturing hub, but it definitely is the numero uno when it comes to the auto ancillary business. And the credit indisputably goes to the world’s number two forging company – Bharat Forge, incorporated in 1961. But till as recently as 2002, the company used to obtain over 90% of its businesses from a single entity, and had a solitary product line. Today it caters to a diverse portfolio – from diesel engines to passenger car segments – and has now established itself as a full fl edged engineering enterprise that thrives on technological superiority.

It was in the 1990s when India’s commercial-vehicle market was going through a rough phase that Baba Kalyani, the Chairman, decided to go for the big leap. Baba, an engineer from MIT, transformed Bharat Forge into a global player by acquisitions. Last year, it established its presence in the crucial market of China by acquiring FAW Corporation. Since March 31, 2005, when its sales touched $270 million, Bharat Forge has been marked by stunning earnings, and has seen its stock delivering astonishing returns of over 765% till date. Its stock has also seen a surge of 29 times in price earning multiples. A benchmark of the highest order, this forging firm!

Que: I am a young person, not long out of school. I’m filled with ambition, creative ideas and a burning desire to achieve a lot of things in my life, but one thing holds me back: Fear of blowing it. How can I get some nerve? Please advice. (Johannesburg, South Africa)

Ans: You don’t really need “nerve,” exactly. All you need is self-confidence. Without it, you’re going nowhere. But you seem to know that already. Look, only you know why and how self-confidence has eluded you so far. To be honest, perhaps you weren’t born with much of it – as there does indeed seem to be “some” genetic component to it. But then, “by far”, self-confidence is clearly a developed trait. Some people get it at their mother’s knee, where they first hear the happy news that their every bright comment qualifies them for the Nobel Prize, or that they’re taller, cleverer and certainly better-looking than every other child on the block. Others get it from great grades that set them apart, or sports at school, whether they score goals or get elected as captain….

Indian markets have surprised

B-SCHOOL OF INDIA
