IIPM : EXECUTIVE EDUCATION

Setting right priorities to manage national capital & make it efficient

He is Manmohan’s man in the Planning Commission. But he is there because he deserves it. Needless to mention that Montek has stood up to the challenge over the past few years to provide direction to the Planning Commission in the era of ‘LPG’ (liberalisation, privatisation & globalisation). He has undoubtedly introduced fresh management techniques in the commission, because he firmly believes that it is “more of a consultative body.” And he does not consider himself to be an “economic czar.” His biggest achievement is giving much awaited impetus to agriculture, education & health sectors in the 11th Five-Year-Plan (proposing to raise allocations by almost 75% of the total expenditure as compared to 55% during the 10th Plan). In fact, for the first time, the allocation for the education sector has increased to 19.4%.

Damming the declining dollar!

IIPM’s 36th Glorious Year of Academic Excellence

The plummeting dollar indices fresh chasms in OPEC

With the oil prices on the cusp of touching the century mark, the global oil politics is in full swing. The political wrestling was in full display at the recently concluded OPEC summit, where on one hand, Venezuela & Iran desired some action over the dwindling fate of dollar by pricing oil in a basket of currencies. And the time tested US ally, Saudi Arabia, aptly preventing the dollar from appearing on the agenda.

At the end of the two-day summit, the final communique of OPEC concluded: “We affirm our commitment . . . to continue providing adequate, timely & sufficient oil to the world market.” The declaration helped in further fall of the dollar, which the Iranian President had described as a “worthless piece of paper.” The Iranian leader was ably assisted by the Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, who in his inimitable style condemned the flawed US foreign & military policies as the main driver of high oil prices, he added, “If the US followed through on military threats against Iran, oil could double to US$200 a barrel.” The US profligacy certainly is one of the factors driving the oil prices high & the dollar to decline. Although, the dollar issue was ducked at the summit, but it has been agreed upon that the respective finance ministers, will meet to discuss dollar impact on their economies, prior to the scheduled meet of the OPEC oil ministers in Abu Dhabi on 5th December.

Reasonably-priced oil must continue to flow through the global commercial veins uninterrupted. As King Abdullah, the Saudi leader avers, “Oil is an energy that is about construction & development and should not be turned into a tool of dispute and whimsy.”

K for Kerala, K for Kar’toonz’

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

K for Kerala, K for Kar’toonz’
P. Jayakumar, CEO, Toonz Animation speaks up for the state...

"Tourism is often considered the bloodline for Kerala. It’s time that this notion changes with IT parks, SEZs and hi-tech parks and facilities mushrooming in the state. It’s become the new dream destination for profit lovers!"

Gone are the days when Kerala was tagged as the ‘non-investor friendly state’. Once touted as a nightmare for investors because of the strong presence of organised labour unions and also unfavorable government policies and ideologies, Kerala now boasts of many ‘firsts’ and ‘bests’ in various sectors. The state has evolved by leaps and bounds in attracting investments to gargantuan proportions. When Toonz Animation India Pvt. Ltd. was established in 1999 in Technopark, the state barely took its infant strides to lure fat-pursed investors. Technopark, the brainchild of the then government, to attract investment in IT sector and tap the burgeoning demand for software professionals, was the initial step in this direction. The success of this ‘Greenest IT Park’ set the tone for massive infrastructure development projects in Kerala especially in IT and ITES sector. The reasons for Toonz Animation establishing the business in Kerala are two fold. The State is known for its rich artistic talent. We wanted to tap this immense human talent available that would serve as the feeder for the animation workforce. Secondly, the availability of modern infrastructures in terms of state-of-the-art communication facilities at Technopark also influenced our decision to set up base in Kerala.

Kerala has emerged as one of the preferred investment destinations in South Asia due to its proactive industrial policies, pro-enterprise incentives, skilled manpower, abundant resources, state-of-the-art infrastructure and low cost of operations. The state also enjoys worldwide connectivity due to its strategic location and unparalleled legislative policies that have attracted business from the flourishing global markets.

With the emerging investment opportunities and ready supply of educated workers, big companies have started plugging into Kerala in large numbers. Kerala today has the highest literacy rate amongst all the Indian states. This is both a matter of pride and a fantabulous opportunity for participants who want to ensure their growth and success in the state.

The Government of Kerala has undertaken several policy measures and incentives for attracting corporate and individual investors into the state, especially in the sectors of Information Technology, Tourism and Agriculture.

The establishment of Industrial parks, Special Economic Zones and considerable tax holidays have resulted in bullish investments in many sectors including manufacturing and knowledge-based industries.

Government sources estimate that investments to the tune of Rs.10,000 crores are in the pipeline. The setting up of ‘Smart City’, ‘Hi-Tech city’ and ‘Info Park’ along with other proposed ventures would lure a lot of investment to the State. For the present growth patterns to sustain, successive governments in Kerala will have a significant role to play.

Brijesh Jacob (30), Grey Worldwide.

IIPM Ranked No. 1 B-School In Global Exposre - Zee...

Brijesh Jacob (30), Grey Worldwide. After meandering through life trying to sell anything from Carrier Aircons to his soul, this 30-year-old Calcutta-born and bred Malayalee decided to settle for advertising. The pay wasn’t good but anything to ensure that he never had to step out in the merciless Calcutta sun. And by this time, boosting the circulation of The Statesman (where he was working at that time) did not have the same kind of charm. A few years, agencies and a PG in Mass. Comm. later, coupled with a shift to Mumbai, Brijesh finds himself responsible for the creative product of Grey Mumbai. Prior to this, he was a Creative Director with Lowe, Mumbai. That was where he learnt the tricks of the trade. But it’s in places like Rediffusion DY&R and Saatchi & Saatchi, where self-admittedly, he has taken his first steps to success. He has won metals at Asia Pac Adfest, Promax and Outdoor Awards and has been a finalist at Cannes and New York festivals. All these apart from having his work featured in leading advertising annals like Campaign Brief’s Work. When he isn’t dreaming about that dream car or house, he is busy stuffing himself with rice, dal and fish curry and mindlessly cheering for Arsenal.
