Durga Puja has always been advertisers’ delight in Kolkata. The number of footfalls on 5 days is just too impressive to ignore. The icing to the ‘visibility’ cream is that the visitors cut across all sections of the society. And so nothing can be more endearing to gather attention for the brands than putting up […]
TCG arm for IPO
Tussle over the control of Haldia Petrochemicals Limited (HPL) notwithstanding, Purnendu Chatterjee, a IIT, Kgp alumni, is planning to take another company from his fold public. TCG Lifesciences Limited (say TLL for short) has just submitted the draft red-herring prospectus with the SEBI (Securities & Exchange Board of India) for an initial public offering (IPO). […]
GE + LIC
An unlikely marriage, would you say! No really. It’s GE Money’s 35% and LIC’s 40% stake that will make a new credit card company. Both are giants, GE Money being one of the world’s leading credit card issuers. And we all know LIC’s phenomenal reach. In fact many people, when they inquire if you’ve a […]
Durgapur, the destination
Sometime back the DLF group announced its plan to develop a 95-acre land in Durgapur to build a mini-township. The land was owned by the Asansol Durgapur Development Authority or the ADDA, and they are now selling it to DLF for a whopping Rs.30 lakhs an acre. DLF’s plan is not a flash-in-the-pan development.

It is amazing how news items are picked up by renowned web publications far and away. Let me refer to the recent farmer’s stir in Nadia, where the stirrers demanded that Reliance resumes its farm products’ purchase. The protest in terms of quantum of people was not significant, but it carried a very important message. […]

GE in wagons
The jigsaws of India’s growth story are gradually taking shape. It’ll take long for them to mature and mesh into monumental frenetic activities that are unfolding over length and breadth of the country. You’ll see I’m using so many superlatives to describe the activities that are propelling India on to higher orbit of growth. Hitherto […]
Fire and after
A place caught in fire is tragic and unfortunate. More often than not, it causes untold misery to people who are directly affected. Something of that sort crossed my mind when the broadband service went kaput late afternoon yesterday because of massive fire at Telephone Bhavan. I curse the fact that Telephone Bhavan stands of […]
