India’s equation with the WTO

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
India’s equation with the WTO is central to its trade policy; but with Union Commerce Minister Kamal Nath pronouncing that WTO is all but dead, newer alternatives are fast needed. A re-engineering may be in the offing with multilateral trade deals taking centre stage. Even the ASEAN is looking at Free Trade Agreements among member nations. Is this the path India will take?

Jimmy Carter, the former US president, once remarked sardonically when asked about the significance of globalisation in today’s world, “Globalisation, as defined by rich people like us (developed countries), is a very nice thing... you are talking about the Internet, you are talking about cell phones, you are talking about computers. This doesn’t affect two-thirds of the people of the world.” Is globalisation for the rich and greedy? A tool in the hands of the rich to exploit the poor? Though it sounds like the negative spiel a nationalist is likely to spout, it may just be the sad truth if the way the Doha Round came to a moribund halt on July 24, 2006, is anything to go by.

I DO NOT AGREE WITH YOU

IIPM PUBLICATION
Your editorial on reservations (B&E issue June 2, 2006) seems to have been written in haste. The Mandal Commission’s figure of 52% OBCs was not contradicted for so many years. It was not contradicted when the law was passed in favour of 27% reservation for the OBCs in national institutions. It is now being contested when the law is finally being implemented. This is simply unfair and not expected of the so called educated-class. Constitution is the first law of the land and the Parliament represents the people of India. We should not reduce our constitution to a document which does not mean what it says. One important fact that comes to notice is that inspite of India having enjoyed fifty-seven years of independence, our nation has not witnessed a Dalit Prime Minister. Nor has the judicial arm seen a Dalit Chief Justice till date. I therefore differ in opinion with respect to the subject matter as discussed in your editorial. The other articles though are great.

The ferocious shark

IIPM PUBLICATION
The ferocious shark, which strikes terror in the ocean, has always been dependent on smaller fish for survival. This mantra of ecology has relevance even in the dry domains of India Inc. In particular, the FMCG sector is witnessing many large players acquiring smaller brands. Only the motive here, unlike sharks, is not to subjugate, but to recreate and reposition them

The scene is set. The recording has begun. The movie is now rolling. Action! In July 2006, Godrej Consumer Products acquires the South African hair colour business of UK-based Rapidol. Flashback to June 2006, and this time it’s the turn of Godrej Beverages & Foods Ltd., which acquired Nutrine for Rs.2.7 billion. And Godrej is just the latest to join the bandwagon of FMCG Goliaths that are busy gobbling up Davids;
left , right and centre. Wipro acquired the Glucovita brand from HLL in June 2004. Dabur India entered the home care segment by acquiring Odonil, Odomos, Odopic & Sanifresh from Balsara for Rs.1.4 billion in January 2005. Marico debuted in the personal care segment by acquiring the Rs.90 million soap brand, Manjal and HLL’s Nihaar (for Rs.3 billion) in January 2006. The list is endless...

FICCI figures point to an increase in growth of merely 2% for the year 2005-06 in the (so-called) fast moving consumer goods industry. Besides gobbling up Nemos, companies are also on the lookout to explore new avenues. Two sectors that have captured their fancy are healthcare & food, where even non-FMCG majors are willing to bet their bucks.

With a booming domestic market, Indian M&As are on the ascendant

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL

Imagine if Alexander the Great was alive today and fighting the battle for global dominance in the corporate arena. He would have certainly been surprised to see an India very different from his time, an India that’s much more aggressive and much more lethal. The insatiable drive for exponential growth has made Indian corporate houses go all across the world to own companies and enter new markets. Not only has the number of deals gone up, but also the size of these deals. In cross border M&A deals, India witnessed 85 outbound deals (Indian companies acquiring international business), as against 34 inbound deals in the first half of 2006. Riding the upbeat market mania and an ever increasing risk taking appetite, almost all the major Indian companies have embarked on a world expedition with all guns blazing.

India Inc. saw deals worth $14.3 billion in January to June 2006, of which $10.8 billion worth of deals were through M&As, and $3.5 billion by way of private equity. For the entire 2005, the figure stood at $18.2 billion. In the first half of 2006, M&As contributed 224 deals and private equity an impressive 134, to add to the total tally of 358. In terms of value, telecom retained its leadership with 21% of M&A deal value, followed by oil & gas at 17.5%, but in terms of number of deals, IT & ITeS lead the way with a total of 46 deals. These numbers indicate both India’s emergence as an important investment destination and the quest of India Inc. to set its footprints abroad.
