Today, when I was doing some browsing about the success factors for a successful M&A for Indian companies, JLR came to my mind. I first came across a research report by an Investment bank and then a project report by some IIT/IIM students. I was shocked that these project reports were copied word by word from the Investment bank report.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/9156583/Merger-and-Acquisition-Tata-Jlr-garg
These students would have been turned out of school if it would have been any global Business or Technology school. There is zero (and it is definitely 0) tolerance for plagiarism at any top school, but that is not the case at premium schools in India.
Well I never want to badmouth the so called premium institutes in India but then this does not mean that we become irrational. They are degrading in quality and reports about this degradation are surfacing in media. Just 2 days ago, Jairam Ramesh spoke something, which everyone knows – “Faculty and Research at IIM’s and IIT’s sucks”. There were reports of IIT’s thesis being copied and other. IIT Kanpur recently was in media for a copied thesis case. 2 days ago Sandeep Dikshit voiced the same about a reputed college.
Hope Kapil Sibal, Minister – HRD is listening and start doing something radical instead of fighting with Jairam Ramesh..........Ha Ha .......I am definitely away from any politics

What I learnt most from my MBA?
1. Structuring of my thought process - I was doing a lot of Stakeholder management in HPCL. But I was doing it based on my intuition. During my MBA, I learnt how to identify relevant stakeholders, prioritize them and map their actions based on incentives.
2. Holistic View - I used to see business as marketing and sales in Silos, but I learnt in my MBA that they are just a tiny cog in the whole business dynamics, which involves a lot of interactions between various business functions. For Example, Finance is an important consideration for designing marketing strategy to fix margins and potential investments
3. Global View - My international colleagues and my Exchange provided me an opportunity to gain view of the world as a whole. I was able to appreciate the impact of the financial crisis in Europe, by seeing their state welfare programs. On business front also, I was able to appreciate why Germans are so competitive that rest of Europe- It is the presence of the unions on the secondary board of companies.

Is Recession Round the corner?? - Part 2 (Slowdown)
This is in reference to my earlier article on recession. Now I am bit convinced that India is on edge of a slowdown at least for the moment
http://luckylehana.blogspot.com/2011/04/is-recession-round-corner.html
Consider these
1. Real Estate Slump – After a booming 2010, there is considerable overcapacity in Real Estate, which have been responsible for revival of downstream industries such as Steel and cement.
Cement have already shown that the overcapacity will push the margins downwards
http://www.moneycontrol.com/news/business/india-cement-sector-to-see-overcapacity-aheadfitch_437483.html
A very good note
http://www.thinkindia.net.in/2010/08/an-unreal-market-.html
I have myself taken note of the situation – The labor costs are cutting the margins of the small business owners
2. Governance Issues – I think (my personal opinion) Congress is responsible for many of the woes India has currently. I have lost the count of the scams and Congress leaders are still hiding around (including Manmohan, Sonia and PC). They are shedding their responsibilities by playing aloof.
Anyway, I think there are more 2G, CWG, Adarsh in the bag.
3. Outflow of Funds – India is the only BRIC country to have net outflow by FII in 2010-11. This indicates that the FII does not believe in the Indian story or they are scared away by the 2G, CWG etc
4. Inflation – I don’t buy the contention the inflation in India is only due to poor Supply Chains. Having seen the loosing of purse by the Government in 2008-09 for the cheap lending and popular schemes, I am convinced that wrong fiscal and monetary policies are responsible for this monster
I consider Inflation as the worst factor to derail the Indian growth story.
Inflation is nothing but redistribution of wealth. Inflation makes worth of the currency you hold to tumber but increases the worth of the land and the house you are building to increase. A real estate developer (assuming input prices takes time to increase) gains in real terms through inflation but the workers and the engineers working for him loses in real terms through inflation. So, inflation is equivalent to shifting of economic benefits from a lagging earner to a leading earner.
Unfortunately, increase in wages is a lagging indicator in economic recovery. Hence, wage earners will be the one, who will suffer the most in an inflation cycle.

Is Recession Round the corner??
I was thinking about the business situation in real life and found a very interesting case in my home only.
My brother has an AC sales, distribution and repair business in Gurgaon. In last 5 years, he had seen his percentage margins going south slowly but steadily. The trend accelerated in last 2 years due increase in
1. Cost of Capital (10% Fixed income rates in India)
2. Cost of Labor
The repair is the worst hit business as cost of spairs and labor cost of mechanic has increased by 100% literally, while the unit repair rates are pretty same. Much of it has to do with the 15% food/commodity inflation in India. He has to decide to either run at loss or shut down repair business totally.
I am not sure what is the way out of this situation. I have advised him that Recession is round the corner. Wait for the inputs to subsidize.
Things apart, some of the concepts of marketing such as finding blue ocean of niche segments seem to be too hard to implement if you just have 0.001% of the highly fragmented market.

Short USD Long Yen, Major Asian Currencies
Just an hour ago, US Dolloar (aka Treasury) is downgraded for the first time by US based agency - S&P. Though it has already been downgraded by the biggest investor in US economy - China. When this happened some 6 months ago, almost all my American Classmates at my Alternative investment class, in Kenan Flagler Business School, UNC were of the opinion that this is none-sense and nobody cares a damn about Chinese downgrade.
I argued a bit but then there were people, who believe that they have better knowledge of the financial world. This points out one of the biggest problems with US business Schools Graduates. They operate as just like Muslim Ghetto's and believes the world outside the ghetto is stupid. THANK GOD, I went to CEIBS to get broad outlook of world rather than narrow US based outlook of world.
Anyway, its time for some quick buck. I am sure many long-short macro funds would have milled millions by now.

Unemployed from last 2 years
Last 2 years have been wonderful journey. I went to CEIBS for my MBA with both sweet and bitter experience. This included a brief stint of 5 months to US at Kenan Flagler Business School, University of North Carolina.
From last 2 years, I have been away from the regular hectic life of being in a job and doing something which you do not enjoy sometimes. Last 2 years were bit unique in the sense that I was doing only what I really want to do. For Example - I did 3 internships during my MBA and 4th just after my MBA. This is sort of a record but I really liked working on these small projects. I believe that I have created strong impact in 2 of my internships.
This made me to realize that this unemployment of last 2 years have made me to realize something unique about me that I yearn for and enjoy creating impact. The next big challenge would be to maintain the same enthusiasm of creating impact in short span of time, when I join a new job.
I thank my luck for being unemployed for last 2 years.

Communication Nation: The long tail strategy
Internet is a wonderful tool. It has enabled certain industries such as Music to maintain long tail strategy with low cost. Some of the obscure products (long tail), you can only find on online sites.
By seeing the growth of E-Commerce in Retail sector, I really search for reasons why such a concept is not successful in India. We dont have Taobao, Alibaba, Amazon, Ebay.........
