Tata Product

It’s a Tata product and carries a legacy that is, well...unmatched. Touted as one of the most cost-efficient service providers in India, Tata Teleservices Limited (TTSL) was among the first few players to launch its CDMA services across India and today boasts of a growing subscriber base of 10.71 million in just the digital mobile space. It also provides wireline services to 4.8 million subscribers – in all amounting to a whopping 15.51 million subscribers and accounting for 10% of the Indian telecom space! Little well known is also the fact that it was the pioneer of CDMA 3G1x mobile technology platform in India and well-led by Darryl Green, CEO, TTSL.

It got serious about adopting a vigorous expansion strategy specially after the acquisition of Hughes Tele.com(India), renamed as TTSL (Maharashtra) in December 2002 and has today established a major presence in 20 circles pan-India under the brand name Tata Indicom! In terms of strategic partnerships too, the company joined hands with equipment manufacturers like Motorola, Ericsson, Lucent and ECI Telecom which ensures deployment of a technologically advanced network.

For cashing in on the concept of customer convenience services, Rahul Munjal, in 2003, set out to tap the Rs.50 crore bills payment industry; and this, despite tremendous competition from Bill Junction (an ICICI venture) and Times Money (from the stable of Times Group). Giving the Munjals their rightful due, in the face of stalwart opponents, Easy Bill has now become the market leader, but more critically, has used its promotion methodology to further the concept of third party payments.

Indian salaries: bigger, better, best!

Good news, they say, comes in small packages. What about good news in your pay package: after all, that’s also a small package, isn’t it – all that it contain is your monthly salary cheque, right?

Ranbaxy's Moving

Of course, they have some sunrise ventures as consolation! Meanwhile, Ranbaxy’s moving on with aggression towards Vision 2012, with the two siblings Malvinder & Shivinder at the helm. History seems to have come full circle again, with Malvinder leading the mainstream pharma business and Shivinder in charge of healthcare (Fortis). But one hopes that this remains the only connection to the past; and the demons of acrimony that led their previous generation to part ways, do not return to perilously haunt one of India’s most valuable business dynasties...

GAUGE MECHA – 1 BMF – 111,637 INR

It is supposed to be a man toy. A supposed new age watch to revive the youth in men by being a toy-like-real-watch (whatever that means!). It comes under the Azimuth’s signature collection and will surely fetch you a lot of attention!
