Sneak Peak of the Corporate World..!!
Mark Zuckerberg and ‘Facebook’ never fail to make it to the headlines. Be it the ‘share made public’ or ‘buying a new application’ Zuckerberg makes every deal look easy and exceedingly profitable for his brand. But this time the reason he zoned in to the daily headlines is because of ‘a mobile strategy’. The skeptics and the watchers of the market believe this 28 year lad can accomplish a significant task of strengthening his image value by cashing all his Facebook stock today.
They say ‘he could buy up Nokia and still be left with around $ 6 billion’.
The study was made a day after Nokia announced slashing more than 10,000 jobs. The Finland based company today worth’s about $9.3 billion on New York Stock Exchange. A dazzling fall from the mid’s of 2000, when Nokia market capital touched $269 billion, as cell phones became pervasive, and utopia of mobile market was then laid by Nokia.
On another hand Apple’s value that was once paltry as compared to Nokia has emerged as a critical player and widely accepted brand. The value of the brand rapidly escalated after the launch of iphone in year 2007 to surpass Nokia’s stock market for the first time and never to look back.
People believe, when Nokia unleashed itself as a public company for the first time and Google hung with it and immediately pulled away because of Android, was the decisive moment for Nokia. Meanwhile, Microsoft has lumbered along, that recently was in news for pinning its mobile strategy to Nokia, A company now 28 times smaller than Steve Ballmer’s Microsoft.
Who would have guessed, Nokia; the company that laid the foundation of cellular advent would be butchered by the technological rivals. Well, the current scenario establishes the fact and brings back to the mind the famous saying that “Business is a game, played for fantastic stakes, and you're in competition with experts. If you want to win, you have to learn to be a master of the game.”

Can India Bridge the gap of ‘want’ and get ‘of’ energy..!!
Energy is one inescapable factor in any countries growth run. Today, the conventional fuel such as Coal, oil and gas, constitutes 95% of the energy resources; despite the advent of hydro and nuclear energy, the energy crunch is not expected to anyhow change in the coming decade.
There are no qualms to the fact that development of domestic energy sources is interlinked with the development of the domestic natural resources industry. Needless to say it has adverse effect on jobs and much needed investments and fuel industrial growth. With extensive increase in imports of crude, natural gas and coal a risk of making India’s growth hostage to international supply and price volatilities has daunted the long term plans and policies.
The economic survey in year 2010-11 though was not too encouraging, concerning the usage and production of coal and oil and gas. But this year’s Economic Survey is unlikely to provide materially encouraging statistics. As per a study by Economist Intelligence Unit estimates, ‘India needs a growth rates of 7.2%, 6.5% and 6.6% in the production of coal, natural gas and electricity, respectively to meet the current consumption demands’.
According to another survey conducted, India’s Present per capita consumption of energy is the lowest in the world, yet the country is battling acute electricity shortages. The statistics unearthed that India has an energy shortage of 6.6%, with a deficit of 11.4% in peak hours. In a condition like this the depletion of primary sources of energy such as coal, oil, natural gas and electricity largely outlasts the present installed production capacities. Worse, India is still not expected to commission any major increase in the regenerating capacities of any of the primary sources of energy.
In these crunching times development of domestic natural resources is much needed, which requires good investments, both by private and state-owned entities not to be forgotten comprising equity and debt funding too plays a critical role. Investments, in turn, require a supportive and strong policy and enduring regulatory framework. A crystal clear and highly efficient mechanism for allocation of natural resources is required, along with legislative reforms for the coal sector.
Unlocking the potential in domestic sector can boost the resources and can create world-scale natural resource projects in the country, beyond a shadow of doubt; it can attract both foreign and domestic capital, possibly create skilled and unskilled jobs, and most important can escalate the much-needed energy supply and security of supply for India.
