'Diggi Raja' has attained an enviable political stature, and has kept his feet firmly on the ground

ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY

A winner on every pitch

On the personal front, this Raja of Raghogarh is said to be a man who tries painstakingly to keep his words. Talking about returning to Madhya Pradesh politics is like anathema to him. He is happy dispensing his duty as General Secretary of the party. Diggi Raja has command of important states like Uttar Pradesh apart from managing and planning election campaigns, yet he has his feet firmly on the ground. His baiters suggest that his engineering background affects his decision making. For example, he dwells so deeply in any problem that by the time he reaches to the conclusion, the problem loses its relevance. His crusade for poor and landless and plan for redistribution of untilled land made him deeply unpopular among the 'upper castes' in the state. Congress paid the price in 1998 elections. But one of his best friends and one time accomplice of Sanjay Gandhi, Mahesh Joshi, maintains that Singh has always been a man of integrity and that his dependence on bureaucrats dented his popularity.

Singh is also always ready to help everyone, even the people he doesn’t know personally. It is therefore not surprising that the father of Pragya Singh, one of the accused of Malegaon Blasts, has alleged that when Singh was CM, he tried to get her a job. Old habits die hard. Such beamers have troubled Singh from time to time, but he's far too experienced to let them bog him down.

The prime lending rate is still more than 12% and there is enough scope to reduce it drastically.

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

INTEREST RATES: If every crisis is an opportunity, here is the mother of all opportunities. A few years ago, when major economies of the world had started cutting interest rates because of recession worries, the Reserve Bank of India kept hiking them to combat inflation. After the September 2008 meltdown, there has been a move to once again cut interest rates. But the fact of the matter is that no other major economy of the world has interest rates as high as India’s. The prime lending rate is still more than 12% and there is enough scope to reduce it drastically. The positive impact on the Indian economy will be monumental. Please remember: more than 7% of average GDP growth rates of the last decade came after interest rates in India were cut drastically to single digits from peak levels of about 16% in the mid 1990s! No other major economy in the world can boast of this incredible cushion and opportunity.

Now, we all know that foreign investments will dry up.

ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY

FDI: China habitually gets more than $150 billion in foreign direct investments every year. As a percentage of GDP, it hovers between 7% to 10%. In sharp contrast, Indian policy makers start whooping with joy when FDI crosses $20 billion. Not to mention that FDI has almost never exceeded even 0.5% of GDP. Now, we all know that foreign investments will dry up. But since most of India’s GDP growth has been driven by domestic investment, we will be the least adversely affected. Let’s say FDI inflow declines by a whopping 50% or about $10 billion. That works out to one-tenth of one percent of GDP. Do your own maths!

EXPORTS: There are horror stories floating around of how hundreds of thousands of jobs are being lost because exports are slowing down and declining. A recent government survey says that half a million jobs were lost in the last quarter of 2008 because of contracting exports. Half a million jobs gone is bad news indeed. But compare that with an admission by the Chinese government (A government that is loathe to admit anything!) that 20 million jobs were lost in the same period and you suddenly get a fresh perspective on where India stands compared to other nations. Also remember, exports from India still hover around 15% of GDP, one of the lowest figures among major economies in the world.

Government needs to build consensus for the merger of the armies

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

Impregnable barriers persist

However, there is a third point of view. Nepali journalist Khimi Thapa, for instance, feels there is nothing really wrong with a merger if it is done in a broad based manner. As Thapa pointed out to B&E, the Maoist government almost never bothered to take the Army Chief into confidence before coming up with the proposal. “This is the root of the tension that persists between the government and the NA,” said Thapa; adding that it was no mean task to integrate the PLA’s 19,000 combatants with the NA.

The NA is not at all certain that the merger will take place in accordance with internationally recognised norms. The army is especially against the PLA commanders’ move to retain their ranks and want their own guerrilla chief, Nanda Kishore Pun 'Pasang'. With so much going against it, the government would do better to backtrack on its proposal till a consensus is reached.

But look at what Kingfisher is doing on the other side. Frighteningly, amidst all this bloodbath, it is all set to commence its international operations in September 2008. The Daily Bangalore-London and Bombay-London flights would commence by September 3, while the Bangalore-San Francisco flight would soon follow. The company has even planned to start flights to New York, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Middle East shortly after that. Mind you, company has planned all this at a time when most of the international carriers have either cut their flights to numerous destinations or are planning to do so.

Professors Weber and Camerer of Carnegie Mellon University,

ZEE BUSINESS BEST B SCHOOL SURVEY

Their November 2001 hallmark paper (Why Mergers Fail) stated prophetically, “The belief that mergers drive revenue growth could be a myth!” In that paper, McKinsey showed how a massive 78% of companies failed to manage significant growth over a period of three years post the M&A! Professors Weber and Camerer of Carnegie Mellon University, in April 2003, statistically showed in their benchmark thesis (Merger Failure...) that “a majority of corporate mergers fail!” The Economist reported in 1999,“Study after study has shown that 2/3rd of all deals haven’t worked!” CEO Magazine reported similarly, “75% of M&As are disappointing or outright failures!” BCG’s sparkling July 2007 report, The Brave New World of M&As, documents, “Larger deals destroy progressively more value!... Deals that are above $1 billion destroy nearly twice as much value as those under $1 billion!” The hugely referenced Business Strategy Review‘s 2005 paper (Merging on the Miraculous) had the first line, “More than 2/3 M&As fail to create meaningful shareholder value.” The Gartner/Forbes Executive Survey of February 2007 asked top global executives to rank various business issues. ‘Managing M&As’ came last on the 25 factor list! Factors like ‘Attracting and retaining skilled workers’, ‘attracting new customers’, ‘Increasing market share’ etc. were ranked miles above M&As!
