Catch Schmidt if you can!

Frustrating its competitors is probably a skill that Google has mastered well. This undisputed king of the Internet Search space & Online Advertisement arena is now widening its horizons with the acquisition of web voice mail company Grand Central. Hooking up with Grand Central could mean that Google would soon have its online phone service like Skype. Though the company has not yet declared the details of the imminent marriage, it would sure like to capture the fast growing online phone service market.

“We have already sold 424 units of the 3 series and 7 series till now; and we’ll start selling the 5 series July onwards”

Encouraging? Well, if you start from zero, any growth is dramatic growth, isn’t it Peter?! But curbing our naysayer mentality, allow us to quote that as per BBC’s research (and even SIAM data), the price mentalities of Indians ensure that the luxury car segment makes up a pathetically puny 0.03% of the total car market in India. And the fact is, despite rising from 0 to 424 units, BMW will reach a saturation too fast and too furiously! Eat this – Mercedes has been operating in India since 1993, and aft er 15 glorious years, manages to sell just around 2,000 cars every year.

Wasn’t this unprofitable scenario of Indian operations the very fact that ensured that BMW did not enter the Indian market at an earlier stage, and that too despite the fact that Mercedes had already entered the Indian space so many years back? “We are not late, because for BMW, it is important to enter with a 100% subsidiary and that was only possible after 2001.

What’s next for Asia Minor

The country has attracted more than 24 million foreign tourists in 2005, generating $18.2 billion and contributing considerably to the economy. Structural changes in banking, retail & telecommunications has succeeded in attracting massive foreign investments. In 2005, Turkey attracted US$ 8.5 billion & is one of the few Islamic countries to achieve high literacy among women (79.6%). The economic good is an outcome of a series of privatisations, prophetic planning along with educational and social reforms, all resulting in a structural change. The espousal of market reforms have resulted in a vibrant middle class with technical, professional, managerial & entrepreneurial competencies. Couple this with its multiculturalism, surely the other competing nations have a major problem with the Asia Minor.

HSBC banks on high growth figures

India is proving to be a success story for Hong Kong & Shanghai Banking Corporation (HSBC). For the financial year ending March 31, 2007, the company has recorded a jump of 64% in its profits at Rs.8.46 billion as compared to the previous year. All business lines of the bank have shown strong performance – contributing to the continuous surge in its profit figures. In India, which is among the top 10 contributors to the bank’s profits, the Group plans to pursue aggressive growth strategies.

Shifting primate

Precious and enduring lessons have come my way during my time spent with our close primate cousins. Whether Louis Leakey’s (the anthropologist Who supported the work of Goodall, Fossey and Galdikas) view that women make better primate watchers than men is discriminatory or true, his premise that women are less likely to incite aggression in male primates is particularly valid. An understanding of the vastly different ways in which non-human primates relate to men and women is necessary for developing a clear conception of primate behaviour.

An orphaned baboon named Gismo, whose mother had been shot, was brought to me in 1997. Before he was old enough to be rehabilitated back into the wild, I cared for him as surrogate mother. Even at that young age, he related to men and women differently, thus teaching my male partner and myself how to parent him in ways that placed us in different roles.
