Make a smart choice

Being smart isn’t that easy and so it was for the smart phone. Initially being mistaken for fancy looking cell-phone when it was introduced a decade back, it appears that its true identity revealed, has created a wide consumer base to match its genius like capabilities. To use this marvel merely for texting or calling your loved ones would be simply blasphemous! More of a computer with cell phone abilities & not vice versa, the ‘smart’ title is justified by their capabilities for data processing, e-mailing, organising & in some cases wireless connectivity features. Smart phones have become an integral part of our lifestyles.

According to Gartner analyst Todd Kort, “Global PDA shipments exceeded 5.1 million, up 39.7% compared with 1Q06. 71% of all units shipped had integrated cellular capabilities.”

SREI International Finance Ltd

Well, this confidence is not all about great financial numbers. It also stems from the fact that SREI has excelled in an area that the larger banks haven’t really entered with a focussed aggression the way SREI has (more on that later). But with the Prime Minister saying that $320 billion is needed for infrastructure in India over the next 5 years, Kanoria admits, “It’s not just one company SREI that would be in a position to capitalise; there are so many other companies who can just come in.” And if larger banks, particularly post-2009, get more active in this segment, it could be indeed difficult for SREI to retain its pole position. The main reason is that banks have much cheaper access to capital & can wreak havoc with SREI’s margins. Its sources of funding are basically restricted to wholesale funding, securitisation & equity issuance. And rising interest rates would make its job even tougher, as it may not be possible to pass on the increase to the customer. Is the company in a position to sustain its dream-run amidst such environmental uncertainties?

Bharti reveals made for each other plans

Seems that telecom operators in the country have started to feel the heat. Soon after Vodafone Essar anounced its plans to launch a series of ultra low-cost handsets bundled with connections, Bharti Airtel had no choice but to follow suit. The No.1 tele-service provider in the country will, from now on, package handsets along with mobile connections at ‘subsidised’ rates. While other players have in the past indulged in bundling offers with handset makers, for Airtel, this will mark the first time at such a deal. And it’s no speculation.

The River That Dyes

Tirupur, the textile hub of southern India, has crossed Rs.110 billion in earnings from textile exports, according to Tirupur Exporters Association (TEA). But there’s a price for this too! And in this case, the price is something too much to bear. Here it is – the death of river Noyyal, a tributary of the Cauvery. The city which is located upstream, had used water from Noyyal for years for its dyeing industries. It is a known fact that bleaching and dyeing processes are water consuming and highly polluting. It has been calculated that Tirupur has more than 700 dyeing units. All the effluents with salinity and heavy metals from these units find its way into the river Noyyal, shockingly untreated! The water with effluents gets stagnated in a irrigation dam downstream at a place called Orathapalayam. And the consequences have been quite far reaching. Land upto three kilometers on either side of the dam at Orathapalayam have been affected and adding to it the groundwater has also been seriously polluted. All of it has meant death to agriculture in that region and has made way for devastating and debilitating diseases. The water at the dam was blocked for a long 10 years & the silence was finally broken on August 22, 2005 when the Orathapalayam dam (which was filled with polluted water to the brim), was opened and the polluted water ran through Noyyal downstream and the water flushed into the Cauvery. The end result was that the toxic sludge settled on Cauvery’s river bed. “It is estimated that 30,000 acre cultivable land was affected by pollution and has became uncultivable. From Tirupur until it joins Cauvery near Karur... it runs through 57 long kilometres... And all along one can only witness the devastation!” laments a local journalist.
