The Beginning<br />

Of a New<br />

Era


In Pursuit <strong>of</strong> Excellence<br />

Dr. Supriya Dhillon,<br />

Director­ <strong>KAIM</strong><br />

Whatever the mind can believe and<br />

conceive one can achieve.<br />

Appreciating these lines I strongly<br />

believe that it is the individual who has the<br />

responsibility <strong>of</strong> self development. Individuals<br />

who reach the top rungs in any pr<strong>of</strong>ession and<br />

who are beckoned with pride are those who<br />

have conscientiously followed their own plans<br />

for development and growth. The aim <strong>of</strong> one’s<br />

life should be crystal clear and should be<br />

tangible expressions <strong>of</strong> their desires and<br />

needs. The clarity <strong>of</strong> goals will in itself help an<br />

individual to take initiative envisioning the<br />

future, provide the necessary motivation to<br />

achieve the same and thereby succeed. The<br />

constant growth and improvement is essential<br />

for anybody to maintain his worth and level <strong>of</strong><br />

confidence. It is the individual himself or<br />

herself who best knows his aspirations, goals,<br />

likes, dislikes motives and dreams.<br />

At <strong>KAIM</strong>, we continuously make the students<br />

realize that learning is more than a matter <strong>of</strong><br />

absorbing information, it is a continuous<br />

process. In our effort to make the students <strong>of</strong><br />

management course better organize their<br />

development, we need the caring hands <strong>of</strong> our<br />

alumni who can share their experiences and<br />

tell the budding managers about the<br />

significance <strong>of</strong> progressing by not drifting<br />

from the personal aims and improving<br />

knowledge, skills and abili ties through selfdirected<br />

efforts. Development commences<br />

only after an individual undergoes self<br />

awareness, an awareness <strong>of</strong> one’s strengths<br />

and weaknesses. Once this is done one should<br />

set goals and initiate steps for improvement<br />

and development. We all should focus on<br />

more than just putting in plenty <strong>of</strong> time at our<br />

workplace but contribute significantly by<br />

adhering to set standards, mobilize the<br />

available factors and manage the restraining<br />

ones.<br />

Remember that the small moon can eclipse<br />

the great sun it’s just a matter <strong>of</strong> being at the<br />

right place and right time and definitely<br />

“Those Conquer Who Believe They Can”.<br />

Heartiest Congratulations!!<br />

Dr. Surender Narwal got opportunity at Govt.<br />

College Hisar and Mr. Ravi Kumar got opportunity<br />

at BITS Pilani.<br />

Mrs. Shveta Sharma, Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor at <strong>KAIM</strong><br />

received Gold Medal at the 15th convocation<br />

function at MDU Rohtak.<br />

The <strong>KAIM</strong> family<br />

05) and wishes them a very<br />

happy married life


What I have learned?<br />

Priya Jain<br />

(2009­11 Batch)<br />

Hi, I got placed in CPM <strong>India</strong> Sales &<br />

Marketing Pvt. Ltd. in July as<br />

<strong>Management</strong> Trainee in Finance<br />

especially for Reporting, Credit<br />

Appraisal and Performance<br />

Appraisal <strong>of</strong> Financial Statements.<br />

I learned several things while searching and<br />

doing the job. And I want to share those with<br />

you. It may match with many <strong>of</strong> yours’, and it<br />

may help you too.<br />

1 st thing that I learnt is “Identify the area for<br />

which you have been made”<br />

From the 4 th SEM I found myself as a big<br />

Question mark. It is about whether to search a<br />

job in Finance or HR or in both and I wasn’t<br />

able to solve this question even within 4 th<br />

semester. I got the answer <strong>of</strong> this question<br />

after 1 month <strong>of</strong> final exams. It was late but<br />

not too late. In the meanwhile I analyzed that<br />

if I will search job <strong>of</strong> any <strong>of</strong> them. Then I will<br />

do the job which will available to me and it<br />

may or may not be <strong>of</strong> my interest. And that<br />

will be <strong>of</strong> my interest if I will be too lucky.<br />

And one thing more which I observed is that<br />

there is no scarcity <strong>of</strong> the jobs in the corporate<br />

World. Scarcity is there but <strong>of</strong> Skills,<br />

Knowledge, Patience and Stamina. We are<br />

not getting the job because we are lacking<br />

somewhere from others.<br />

We should search and opt for the job as per<br />

our Knowledge and Skill set. It must be<br />

identified by ourselves that which work we<br />

are enjoying. It means we must do our SWOT<br />

Analysis.<br />

S stands for Strength: Our skills &<br />

Knowledge (Any S<strong>of</strong>tware, Computer<br />

Pr<strong>of</strong>iciency, Analytical skills, Communication<br />

skills and even positive Attitude)<br />

W stands for Weakness: It may be in any <strong>of</strong><br />

your desired skill set or less patience etc<br />

(Must Work on to reduce it)<br />

O stands for Opportunity: Search in the Job<br />

opportunities available (Must consider your<br />

area <strong>of</strong> Interest rather than salary). It will<br />

increase with knowledge & Experience<br />

definitely<br />

T stands for Threats: Means the critics <strong>of</strong> our<br />

Interest area. Like less job opportunities for<br />

fresher’s in that particular area.<br />

2 nd thing which I learnt through that hard time<br />

is “You are the only person who can do<br />

anything for you”. Means you have to do<br />

efforts for yourself.<br />

And one more thing which I analyzed is that<br />

interest <strong>of</strong> studying and interest <strong>of</strong> doing can<br />

be different. Because doing things is a<br />

practical aspect and we must do what we like.<br />

So I started to search a job in Finance. But<br />

searching <strong>of</strong> job was not easy as I thought. As<br />

many <strong>of</strong> my known were saying before<br />

completing my MBA that do your studies and<br />

don’t take tension <strong>of</strong> the job but nobody was<br />

there when I need the job.<br />

3 rd thing that I had learnt is “Search the job<br />

with patience”.<br />

Then I searched interviews as per my job<br />

interest area from the job searching sites and<br />

gave a lot <strong>of</strong> interviews. Sometimes nobody<br />

even noticed that I was waiting from the<br />

whole day for the interview because reference<br />

matters in the corporate world. Sometimes I<br />

got selected but no <strong>of</strong>fer later because <strong>of</strong><br />

Awaited result. I was frustrated a lot because I<br />

was actively searching the job and giving<br />

interviews from 25 days. And when I gave<br />

interview in CPM then I thought if I will not be<br />

selected then. I will have fun for a number <strong>of</strong><br />

days because my luck is not supporting me.<br />

But at last I got the <strong>of</strong>fer letter.<br />

4 th thing I learnt is “Pr<strong>of</strong>ile is more<br />

important than Package”


While doing the job I found most <strong>of</strong> the<br />

persons who are working are searching the<br />

jobs <strong>of</strong>fering better packages. But I think we<br />

must work in the same organization for at<br />

least 1 year because as a fresher we are not<br />

having so much knowledge and at this stage<br />

learning is most important for us. And if we<br />

concern on packages as a fresher then we will<br />

not have a bunch <strong>of</strong> skills in the future. And<br />

one more thing which I think is we must give<br />

something to the organization which gives us<br />

initial chance to enter in the corporate world.<br />

So at last I want to say find your own way for<br />

your destination because no one except you<br />

can know about your dream. And you are only<br />

person who can change that dream in to<br />

reality.<br />

Cloud Computing<br />

Ms. Nidhi Sheoran,<br />

Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor, <strong>KAIM</strong><br />

Cloud Computing is a computing<br />

model, not a technology. In this model<br />

“customers” plug into the “cloud” to access IT<br />

resources which are priced and provided “ondemand”.<br />

Essentially, IT resources are rented<br />

and shared among multiple tenants much as<br />

<strong>of</strong>fice space, apartments, or storage spaces are<br />

used by tenants. Delivered over an Internet<br />

connection, the “cloud” replaces the company<br />

data center or server providing the same<br />

service. Thus, Cloud Computing is simply IT.<br />

Cloud computing building blocks<br />

The cloud computing model is comprised <strong>of</strong><br />

a front end and a back end. These two<br />

elements are connected through a network, in<br />

most cases the Internet. The front end is the<br />

vehicle by which the user interacts with the<br />

system; the back end is the cloud itself. The<br />

front end is composed <strong>of</strong> a client computer, or<br />

the computer network <strong>of</strong> an enterprise, and<br />

the applications used to access the cloud. The<br />

back end provides the applications,<br />

computers, servers, and data storage that<br />

creates the cloud <strong>of</strong> services.


Cloud computing layers<br />

Applications run here and are provided on<br />

demand to users. S<strong>of</strong>tware as a Service<br />

(SaaS) has providers such as Google Pack.<br />

Google Pack includes Internet accessible<br />

applications, tools such as Calendar, Gmail,<br />

Google Talk, Docs, and many more.<br />

IT roles in the cloud Computing<br />

These are the layers the cloud provides:<br />

• The infrastructure layer is the foundation<br />

<strong>of</strong> the cloud. It consists <strong>of</strong> the physical<br />

assets — servers, network devices, storage<br />

disks, etc. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS)<br />

has providers such as the IBM® Cloud.<br />

Using IaaS you don’t actually control the<br />

underlying infrastructure, but you do have<br />

control <strong>of</strong> the operating systems, storage,<br />

deployment applications, and, to a limited<br />

degree, control over select networking<br />

components.<br />

• The middle layer is the platform. It<br />

provides the application infrastructure.<br />

Platform as a Service (PaaS) provides<br />

access to operating systems and associated<br />

services. It provides a way to deploy<br />

applications to the cloud using<br />

programming languages and tools<br />

supported by the provider. You do not<br />

have to manage or control the underlying<br />

infrastructure, but you do have control<br />

over the deployed applications and, to<br />

some degree over application hosting<br />

environment configurations.<br />

• The top layer is the application layer, the<br />

layer most visualize as the cloud.<br />

IT may be consolidating, with a need for less<br />

hardware and s<strong>of</strong>tware implementation, but it<br />

is also creating new formations. The shift in IT<br />

is toward the knowledge worker. In the new<br />

paradigm, the technical human assets will<br />

have greater responsibilities for enhancing<br />

and upgrading general business processes.<br />

The developer<br />

Some <strong>of</strong> the traditional roles <strong>of</strong> development<br />

personnel will be shifted away from the<br />

enterprise's developers due to the systemic<br />

and systematic processes <strong>of</strong> the cloud<br />

configuration model.<br />

Cloud computing provides an almost<br />

unlimited capacity, eliminating scalability<br />

concerns. Cloud computing gives developers<br />

access to s<strong>of</strong>tware and hardware assets that<br />

most small and mid‐sized enterprises could<br />

not afford. Developers, using Internet‐driven<br />

cloud computing and the assets that are a<br />

consequence <strong>of</strong> this configuration, will have<br />

access to resources that most could have only<br />

dreamed <strong>of</strong> in the recent past.<br />

The administrator<br />

Administrators are the guardians and<br />

legislators <strong>of</strong> an IT system. They are<br />

responsible for the control <strong>of</strong> user access to<br />

the network. This means sitting on top <strong>of</strong> the<br />

creation <strong>of</strong> user passwords and the<br />

formulation <strong>of</strong> rules and procedures for such


fundamental functionality as general access to<br />

the system assets. The advent <strong>of</strong> cloud<br />

computing will necessitate adjustments to this<br />

process since the administrator in such an<br />

environment is no longer merely concerned<br />

about internal matters, but also the external<br />

relationship <strong>of</strong> his enterprise and the cloud<br />

computing concern, as well as the actions <strong>of</strong><br />

other tenants in a public cloud.<br />

It does not negate the need for the guardian <strong>of</strong><br />

the system. With cloud computing comes even<br />

greater responsibility, not less. Under cloud<br />

computing, the administrator must not only<br />

ensure data and systems internal to the<br />

organization, they must also monitor and<br />

manage the cloud to ensure the safety <strong>of</strong> their<br />

system and data everywhere.<br />

The architect<br />

The function <strong>of</strong> the architecture is the<br />

effective modeling <strong>of</strong> the given system's<br />

functionality in the real IT world. The basic<br />

responsibility <strong>of</strong> the architect is development<br />

<strong>of</strong> the architectural framework <strong>of</strong> the agency's<br />

cloud computing model. The architecture <strong>of</strong><br />

cloud computing is essentially comprised <strong>of</strong><br />

the abstraction <strong>of</strong> the three layer constructs,<br />

IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS, in such a way that the<br />

particular enterprise deploying the cloud<br />

computing approach meets its stated goals<br />

and objectives.<br />

In this revolutionary new era, cloud<br />

computing can provide organizations with the<br />

means and methods needed to ensure<br />

financial stability and high quality service. Of<br />

course, there must be global cooperation if the<br />

cloud computing process is to attain optimal<br />

security and general operational standards.<br />

With the advent <strong>of</strong> cloud computing it is<br />

imperative for us all to be ready for the<br />

revolution.<br />

What is Driving Cloud Computing?<br />

Customer Perspective<br />

• Faster, simpler, cheaper to use cloud apps .<br />

• No upfront capital required for servers and<br />

storage.<br />

• No ongoing operational expenses for<br />

running data center.<br />

•Applications can be accessed from anywhere,<br />

anytime.<br />

Vendor Perspective<br />

•Easier for application vendors to reach new<br />

customers.<br />

• Lowest cost way <strong>of</strong> delivering and<br />

supporting applications.<br />

•Ability to use commodity server and storage<br />

hardware.<br />

•Ability to drive down data center operational<br />

costs.<br />

Cloud computing companies provide the<br />

latest technology for sharing resources such<br />

as s<strong>of</strong>tware, applications, virtual platforms<br />

and storage resources. Those companies <strong>of</strong>fer<br />

several online storage solutions. Cloud<br />

computing service is a perfect and intelligent<br />

system that features numerous advantages for<br />

online businesses and personal use as well.<br />

Certainly, numerous cloud computing<br />

companies are there in the market.<br />

Each company has its own pricing list,<br />

features, security and support options. If you<br />

want to run your business at lower costs and<br />

more resources, you need to hire a cloudbased<br />

computing service. All you need is to<br />

dive into the coming lines to learn more about<br />

some cloud computing companies and what<br />

services each one <strong>of</strong>fers. You need to make


sure to pick the company that serves you and<br />

your business more efficiently.<br />

SugarSync, MyPC Backup, ZipCloud and<br />

JustCloud are more than excellent companies<br />

that <strong>of</strong>fer outstanding sharing service. Those<br />

four companies stayed out <strong>of</strong> the crowd and<br />

pro<strong>of</strong>ed themselves for <strong>2012</strong>. The following<br />

piece <strong>of</strong> writing addresses some features <strong>of</strong><br />

each company.<br />

Conclusion<br />

We are <strong>of</strong>ten told particularly by vendors and<br />

evangelists, you don’t like Outsourced or<br />

Cloud Computing solutions. This is simply not<br />

true. Outsourcing and using third parties for<br />

service can be very helpful to clients.<br />

However, we do not think that these solutions<br />

are appropriate or effective in every situation<br />

or for every organization.<br />

M­Wallet A New Payment<br />

Mania<br />

Ms. Suman,<br />

Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor, <strong>KAIM</strong><br />

Mobile payment is an alternative<br />

payment method. Instead <strong>of</strong> paying<br />

with cash, check, or credit cards, a consumer<br />

can use a mobile phone to pay for a wide<br />

range <strong>of</strong> services and digital or hard goods<br />

such as:<br />

• Music, videos, ringtones, online<br />

game subscription or items, wallpapers and<br />

other digital goods.<br />

• Transportation fare (bus, subway<br />

or train), parking meters and other services<br />

• Books, magazines, tickets and other<br />

hard goods.<br />

Mobile wallet or m‐wallet is a cashless<br />

payment service that works by converting the<br />

cell phone into a smart card. M‐wallets serve<br />

as a handy tool for multiple functions—as<br />

bank cards, credit cards, house keys, and<br />

swipe cards to enter premises, electronic cash,<br />

train tickets and much more.<br />

Mobile payment system is touted as the next<br />

major step for the mobile phones which could<br />

turn these handheld devices into virtual<br />

wallets with which one could easily do<br />

shopping without the need <strong>of</strong> any debit/credit<br />

card or even hard cash.<br />

Companies are making use <strong>of</strong> the NFC (near<br />

field communication), a short range wireless<br />

communication technology, to make this<br />

happen.<br />

There are four primary models for mobile<br />

payments:<br />

• Premium SMS based transactional<br />

payments<br />

• Direct Mobile Billing<br />

• Mobile web payments<br />

• Contactless near field communication<br />

Worldwide Scenario on M­wallet<br />

Mobile payment is being adopted all over the<br />

world in different ways. Combined market for<br />

all types <strong>of</strong> mobile payments is expected to<br />

reach more than $600B globally by 2013,<br />

which would be double the figure as <strong>of</strong><br />

February, 2011, while mobile payment market<br />

for goods and services, excluding contactless<br />

NFC transactions and money transfers, is


expected to exceed $300B globally by<br />

2013.cashless payment service that works by<br />

converting the cell phone into a smart card. M‐<br />

wallets serve as a handy tool for multiple<br />

functions—as bank cards, credit cards, house<br />

keys, and swipe cards to enter premises,<br />

electronic cash, train tickets and much more.<br />

In Japan and Hong Kong, these phones come<br />

with embedded contact‐less chips that<br />

commuters <strong>of</strong>ten use to buy local train tickets.<br />

In Kenya, Safaricom, a Vodafone affiliate,<br />

enables its 150,000 subscribers to deposit<br />

cash with agents and use SMS to pay for<br />

purchases. In Congo and Zambia also, mobile<br />

phones are used to transfer funds and pay for<br />

goods and bills. In South Africa, a mobile bank,<br />

Wizzit, provides bank accounts that may be<br />

accessed through a cell phone. While the local<br />

retailers use their phones as a point <strong>of</strong> sale<br />

terminal, customers pay for their purchases<br />

through their Wizzit accounts.<br />

M­wallet scheme in <strong>India</strong>n context<br />

In developing countries mobile payment<br />

solutions have been deployed as a means <strong>of</strong><br />

extending financial services to the community<br />

known as the unbanked or under banked,<br />

which is estimated to be as much as 50% <strong>of</strong><br />

the world's adult population, according to<br />

Financial Access' 2009 Report "Half the World<br />

is Unbanked" In <strong>India</strong>, paying for ringtones<br />

and downloads using a pre‐paid mobile<br />

connection could be called a limited form <strong>of</strong><br />

m‐wallet payment. Bank <strong>of</strong> Punjab was one <strong>of</strong><br />

the earliest to launch an m‐wallet in 2002.<br />

Reliance Communications and HDFC Bank<br />

recently launched the mPay virtual credit<br />

card. This can be used at any merchant<br />

establishment that accepts payment via mPay.<br />

The bank authenticates the information with<br />

RCom, and will authorize all payments using<br />

the customer’s mobile phone.<br />

Airtel too has launched mChek for bill<br />

payments through tie‐ups with the State Bank<br />

<strong>of</strong> <strong>India</strong>, ICICI, HDFC and C My Mobile<br />

Payments Ltd launched the m‐wallet<br />

service Money‐on‐Mobile<br />

to make<br />

payments on mobile phones for purchase <strong>of</strong><br />

goods and services through an SMS.<br />

M‐wallet will allow consumers to load their<br />

phones with cash <strong>of</strong> different denominations<br />

(minimum Rs 20) at various retail touch<br />

points. This can be used to<br />

pay postpaid mobile bills, electricity and gas<br />

bills, purchase airline, bus and movie tickets.<br />

It can also help to recharge mobile and DTH<br />

services.<br />

The payment system is independent <strong>of</strong> the<br />

consumer’s bank and mobile operator which<br />

allows mobile subscribers to avail themselves<br />

<strong>of</strong> services through an SMS without any<br />

premium charges to it. The money recharged<br />

gets saved in the escrow accounts with the<br />

RBI.<br />

These services can be obtained when both the<br />

customer and the merchant are registered<br />

with the company’s service. The transaction<br />

limit is Rs 50,000 per month with maximum <strong>of</strong><br />

Rs 5,000 per transaction.<br />

Money‐on‐mobile was launched for B2B<br />

market in <strong>India</strong> in 2010. At present, it has<br />

82,000 retail merchant base pan‐<strong>India</strong>.<br />

The mobile payments service provider<br />

received funding <strong>of</strong> $29.7 million<br />

(approximately Rs 166 crore) from US‐based<br />

Calpian Inc<br />

Problem <strong>of</strong> accepting M­Wallet scheme in<br />

<strong>India</strong><br />

In <strong>India</strong>, the challenge is one <strong>of</strong> successfully<br />

handling large volumes.<br />

The low average revenue <strong>of</strong> the <strong>India</strong>n cell<br />

phone user is another issue. Today, almost


85% <strong>of</strong> the mobile services market is pre‐paid.<br />

That makes it unviable for high‐value<br />

transactions.<br />

The fear <strong>of</strong> misuse is also likely to limit the<br />

value <strong>of</strong> m‐wallet transactions. Typically,<br />

these transactions could be limited to onetenth<br />

<strong>of</strong> the credit card limit.<br />

Recent development in this field IM<br />

Google has made it mandatory for app<br />

developers to embrace its wallet service or<br />

face exit. According to Reuters, Google is<br />

forcing Android app developers to adopt<br />

Google Wallet and failure to do so might result<br />

in getting their apps suspended from the<br />

Android marketplace which is now known as<br />

the Google play. Google Wallet is a mobile<br />

payment system that allows its users to store<br />

credit cards, loyalty cards, and gift cards<br />

among other things, as well as redeeming<br />

sales promotions on their mobile phone.<br />

Nokia is currently pilot testing Nokia Money<br />

and mobile payment services that are<br />

expected to work on NFC enabled devices<br />

Nokia formally launched the new Nokia<br />

Money mobile wallet service for <strong>India</strong>n<br />

consumers to have an account without<br />

submitting any documents.<br />

Nokia Money is intended to cater to<br />

consumers and merchants involved in cash<br />

transactions. Nokia intends for several<br />

consumers to use the cash‐less mobile wallet<br />

to recharge mobiles, pay utility bills, and for<br />

other services that will be made available in<br />

due course <strong>of</strong> time<br />

Visa, Google join hands to make mobile<br />

wallet a reality<br />

In a major boost for the mobile payment<br />

system, Visa and Google have announced a<br />

partnership under which the former has given<br />

the worldwide license <strong>of</strong> its Visa payWave, an<br />

innovative Near Field Communication (NFC) ‐<br />

based payment technology, to the later. This<br />

means that one <strong>of</strong> the largest payment<br />

gateways (Visa) will be available for the<br />

largest operating system (Android).<br />

Conclusion<br />

The concept <strong>of</strong> paying bills using the m‐wallet<br />

sounds good, but the question is whether the<br />

newspaper vendor, the paanwala or milk‐man<br />

would be ready to accept virtual money<br />

instead <strong>of</strong> cash. An entire ecosystem that<br />

includes these small billers has to be created<br />

before the idea <strong>of</strong> m‐wallets can take <strong>of</strong>f in<br />

<strong>India</strong>. However, the concept itself holds<br />

promise.


Wolves <strong>of</strong> the Financial<br />

Market and Investment<br />

Navdeep Singh<br />

Financial Analyst,<br />

British Telecom<br />

(2005­07 Batch)<br />

When someone loses, someone<br />

gains from their loss. I find that the<br />

promoters, operators, manipulators,<br />

investment bankers, brokers, market makers,<br />

media and its connected persons and insiders<br />

make trillions <strong>of</strong> rupees when the stock<br />

market’s decline and stock prices go down or<br />

vice versa. The stock markets and commodity,<br />

currency, bond and option markets are<br />

controlled and manipulated by a gang or it<br />

won’t be wrong to say wolves <strong>of</strong> financial<br />

markets.<br />

Thousands <strong>of</strong> millions <strong>of</strong> rupees are stolen<br />

by these wolves through running or jacking up<br />

the prices or by short selling. Masses are<br />

always slaughtered like pigs.<br />

The general notion <strong>of</strong> the investors is that<br />

money is made only when markets go up. But<br />

these wolves <strong>of</strong> the markets are making<br />

billions, as the markets go down. No one<br />

seriously analyses the market. Rather<br />

everyone is unhappy that the markets are<br />

declining while the wolves <strong>of</strong> the markets<br />

enjoy and celebrate the downfall in the stock<br />

& commodity prices. When there is decline,<br />

every media channel advocates for its rising.<br />

They call the analysts, brokers, corporate big<br />

wigs, politicians, bankers on their TV screens<br />

with a well written script and try to convince<br />

the gullible investors that this is just a<br />

temporary phenomenon. Fundamentals are<br />

good. It is the best time to buy for long term.<br />

Coloured graphs, pie‐charts and glossy<br />

headlines on business channels brain wash<br />

the minds <strong>of</strong> investors and traders. And the<br />

innocent investors again believe them and get<br />

cheated again and again.<br />

When these wolves want to rig the market<br />

for a big sale in a particular stock accumulated<br />

over a period <strong>of</strong> time at a lower price, they<br />

substantially raise its price so that their<br />

manipulation creates a market for them to sell<br />

their paper stock. News stories, analyst<br />

recommendations and media publicity<br />

conveniently appear regularly to grab people’s<br />

attention. The unsuspecting investors get<br />

excited to buy the particular stock when they<br />

see the price go up substantially. Then these<br />

wolves easily sell their own stock that they<br />

have previously accumulated over a period <strong>of</strong><br />

time at lower prices.<br />

Not many people are aware <strong>of</strong> short selling<br />

or I will say even after knowing about short<br />

selling they never think or are scared <strong>of</strong><br />

selling short. Who is to investigate? Nobody,<br />

as everyone from the decision makers to<br />

regulators, analysts and media are part <strong>of</strong> the<br />

system. As the investors plan to buy or invest<br />

for getting a percentage <strong>of</strong> return, they are<br />

able to steal the people’s money. Business


channels invite the so called analysts, sit and<br />

discuss with them to organize the advisory.<br />

It was January 12, 2011. Negative data<br />

came in the market. On the face <strong>of</strong> it the<br />

market should have gone down. Moreover all<br />

the anchors & the analyst were singing the<br />

songs and making tunes <strong>of</strong> “MANDI”‐<br />

downtrend in their morning sessions <strong>of</strong> their<br />

programmes.<br />

Investors & traders got panicky and the<br />

market manipulators got the chance to make<br />

money from poor investors and traders who<br />

just listened to these channels and their<br />

analysts and the sensex rose around 500<br />

points.<br />

And again in the closing session every<br />

analyst changed his tune and started singing<br />

songs <strong>of</strong> “TEJI”. This is not a story <strong>of</strong> a<br />

particular day it is <strong>of</strong> everyday.<br />

Now the question arises how to take decision<br />

before investing in financial markets?<br />

You will find many investors entering the<br />

market at high levels and making a quick exit<br />

as the market witnesses a correction.<br />

Unfortunately, such investors seldom think <strong>of</strong><br />

investing in stocks again. Thus, they ignore an<br />

excellent opportunity to earn above average<br />

returns. In short, investing in equities can be a<br />

difficult proposition for retail investors.<br />

However, equity must form a part <strong>of</strong> every<br />

investor’s portfolio. The proportion could<br />

vary, depending on the investor’s age,<br />

monetary requirements, risk appetite, etc. To<br />

cope with volatility, it is important to have a<br />

disciplined and systematic approach to equity<br />

investment.<br />

Set your own rules and more importantly,<br />

follow them religiously. Indeed, the mantra for<br />

successful equity investment is a well thoughtout,<br />

disciplined investment strategy. A long<br />

term monetary commitment, adherence to<br />

discipline in investment and decisions based<br />

on company fundamentals are essential<br />

ingredients for successful equity investment.<br />

Here are some ancient rules for safe equity<br />

investment, which could help you to sail<br />

through different market scenarios:<br />

• Be a long term investor<br />

• Invest time and efforts in doing your<br />

homework<br />

• Pay the right price<br />

• Portfolio diversification<br />

• Do not buy on tips or rumors rather focus<br />

on fundamentals<br />

• Buy shares <strong>of</strong> companies whose business<br />

you understand<br />

• Don’t sell in panic<br />

• Do not borrow money to invest in equities<br />

• Do not marry a stock<br />

• Invest regularly and gradually build up<br />

your position<br />

• Monitor your portfolio<br />

At last not the least my advice to investors,<br />

specifically starters is – “EXCERCISE CAUTION<br />

WHILE INVESTING” and keeps the mute<br />

button on the TV set while viewing the rates <strong>of</strong><br />

shares or commodities.


Collapse <strong>of</strong> Kingfisher –<br />

Result <strong>of</strong> Mismanagement<br />

Sandeep Aggarwal<br />

(2005­07 Batch)<br />

You know what; Kingfisher and Kodak<br />

have one thing in common i.e. they are<br />

finding it difficult to reinvent themselves.<br />

They are trying hard but will they truly<br />

doing it, is the real question.<br />

Let we take the issue <strong>of</strong> kingfisher airline.<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the best airlines few years back,<br />

now in shutdown position. There are so<br />

many reasons for this position <strong>of</strong><br />

Kingfisher. One <strong>of</strong> the competitors <strong>of</strong><br />

Kingfisher flying high and high. Yes indigo<br />

airlines is the most pr<strong>of</strong>itable airline in<br />

<strong>India</strong>. The question is the difference<br />

between discipline, thinking and<br />

mismanagement.<br />

What make one company success while<br />

another failure in same environment?<br />

One <strong>of</strong> the reasons is Mr. Vijay Maliya<br />

flamboyant nature.<br />

Kingfisher was launched with economical<br />

single class configuration aircraft with<br />

food and entertainment systems. After<br />

about a year <strong>of</strong> operations, the airline<br />

suddenly shifted its focus to luxury even<br />

though majority <strong>of</strong> people belongs to the<br />

economy class. When an airline keeps<br />

changing its model and takes to random<br />

expansion, there is no time for the airline<br />

to stabilize.<br />

The fall <strong>of</strong> kingfisher airline started the<br />

very day when they bought air Deccan. The<br />

all economy configuration <strong>of</strong> air Deccan<br />

was rebranded and called kingfisher red,<br />

which continued to operate as its low‐cost<br />

wing till recently.<br />

There is another critical reason feature <strong>of</strong><br />

this failure is that he has been over<br />

indulged and wasting away resources in<br />

kingfisher calendar activities and <strong>of</strong> course<br />

the multi crore rupee event IPL . Where he<br />

had diverted huge sums <strong>of</strong> money from his<br />

core businesses. IPL, late night parties,<br />

mismanagement, zero experience in<br />

business made him failure.<br />

Kingfisher was gifted to Mr. Sidhartha<br />

Maliya by his father on his birthday i.e.<br />

zero experience in running a business and<br />

later CEOs appointed by Mr. Mailya<br />

couldn’t bring any significant result too.<br />

The lack <strong>of</strong> management and top <strong>of</strong> it the<br />

soaring <strong>of</strong> petrol prices, the airport<br />

charges added to Kingfisher humiliation.<br />

Frequent cancellation <strong>of</strong> flights,<br />

nonpayment to employees, rude staff laid<br />

the ground for kingfisher grave.<br />

Government <strong>of</strong> <strong>India</strong> also freezed 40<br />

accounts <strong>of</strong> Kingfisher’s bank account.<br />

Kingfisher employees have been not paid<br />

three month salary. So how can they<br />

smile? We all know how we feel when our<br />

salary is delayed by a day.<br />

Anyway I still hope from Maliya that he<br />

will refrain from over indulgence and<br />

concentrate on his business rather than<br />

IPL, Parties and all.


Touch Screen Revolution<br />

Mr. Sandeep,<br />

Assistant Pr<strong>of</strong>essor, <strong>KAIM</strong><br />

Touch screen Mobiles have<br />

taken the <strong>India</strong>n mobile market<br />

by storm and it's a new found<br />

craze among the young <strong>India</strong>ns.<br />

People spend more time using<br />

their smart phones for surfing<br />

the web, checking social networks or<br />

playing games than making phone calls,<br />

new research has found.<br />

Touch screen phones look very elegant<br />

and chic as well. It gives a clear luster<br />

when any person is taking the touch<br />

screen mobile out <strong>of</strong> his or her pocket.<br />

Moreover, consumers find it exciting to<br />

just touch the screen and not pressing<br />

buttons, which used to give their thumbs<br />

pain. This also allows users to browse<br />

through the entire menu on the phone<br />

easily and quickly, eventually saving time<br />

and energy.<br />

screen phones in <strong>India</strong> and abroad. And<br />

the range <strong>of</strong> touch screen mobiles has been<br />

a huge success in the most competitive<br />

mobile market. The busy world has less<br />

time to call and browse, the boom in social<br />

communication sites, browsing <strong>of</strong><br />

internets, involves the youth in one screen<br />

and multi screen touch mobile phones,<br />

besides that the cause touch screen mobile<br />

phones is .less Price and user friendly light<br />

weight, flexible browsing charges, no<br />

trouble on location and Purpose <strong>of</strong><br />

browsing.<br />

Revolution in Mobile Market<br />

The Main two Revolutions in mobile<br />

Market is<br />

Revolution in touch screen market is Price<br />

war between companies like, Nokia,<br />

Samsung, Sony and LG, they not only<br />

changes the face <strong>of</strong> the touch screen<br />

mobile towards the customers but changes<br />

the price <strong>of</strong> smart phones to attract the<br />

customers.<br />

The Second Revolution in touch screen<br />

mobile market is entry <strong>of</strong> the big<br />

companies who changes their faces from<br />

Computer to mobile market like Acer, Dell,<br />

Intex, I –Ball, which make a big<br />

competition in touch screen and tablet<br />

market .Because not only those companies<br />

are already the market leader but they<br />

have a good customer relation from a long<br />

time in computer market.<br />

The Purpose <strong>of</strong> touch Screen Browsing<br />

There are many national and multinational<br />

mobile manufacturers who have<br />

introduced touch screen mobile in <strong>India</strong>.<br />

LG, Nokia, Samsung, Sony Ericsson,<br />

Motorola, Onida, Videocon, Micromax and<br />

others have flooded the market with touch<br />

screen mobiles in <strong>India</strong>. These mobile<br />

brands have launched series <strong>of</strong> touch<br />

From the survey generally<br />

Mobile Internet in <strong>India</strong> has existed since<br />

the prevalence <strong>of</strong> 2G services in <strong>India</strong>.<br />

However, the number <strong>of</strong> users has at best<br />

been fairly limited to few million, and by<br />

far to a select set <strong>of</strong> people. As per TRAI's<br />

report for the quarter ending December<br />

2010, <strong>India</strong> has about 812 Mn Mobile


Subscribers as on March 2011. As per<br />

IMRB International's latest estimates, the<br />

number <strong>of</strong> Claimed Mobile Internet users1<br />

has risen to nearly 35 Mn, and the number<br />

<strong>of</strong> Active Mobile Internet users2 has also<br />

increased to 26.3 Mn by March 2011.<br />

As per latest IMRB estimates, out <strong>of</strong> the 35<br />

Million Claimed Mobile Internet users,<br />

26.3 Million (i.e. 75%) are Active Mobile<br />

Internet Users. The Top 8 Metros and<br />

Small Metros collectively contribute about<br />

76% (approx. 17.5 Million) <strong>of</strong> the Total<br />

Active Mobile Internet User base.<br />

Most <strong>of</strong> the Youth Watching YouTube,<br />

Searching Movies and games touch screen<br />

mobiles are very user friendly and with<br />

good application to support the youth on<br />

social communication.<br />

Again Most <strong>of</strong> the Metro cities the brokers<br />

and the investors watching their<br />

investment and details stock report on a<br />

easy and smart way by touch screen<br />

mobiles.<br />

As you know according to privacy level<br />

mobile banking is little bit unsafe than E‐<br />

banking systems no in touch screen<br />

wonder you directly assess your E‐account<br />

and make a transaction.<br />

The E‐bay and Online Shopping is also so<br />

easy through touch screen it's a splendid<br />

thing to know all the product details and<br />

information on one screen.<br />

The Boom <strong>of</strong> Social communication sites in<br />

<strong>India</strong> most <strong>of</strong> the youth spending their<br />

times in Face book and Orkut going by<br />

media reports and surveys, Face book<br />

appears to be the most popular site in<br />

<strong>India</strong>, with the highest time spent by users.<br />

According to the ViziSense report.<br />

Watching Movies, Vedios and education<br />

related information's is crystal and clear in<br />

one screen and multi screen touch<br />

users in <strong>India</strong> supporting in<br />

communication entertainment and<br />

enhancing the knowledge with an<br />

integrated promise.
