If you were wondering how we chose the inimitable B&E Power 100, here lie the answers...

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
The initial set of companies selected for arriving at India’s top 100 profitable companies were chosen from the BSE 500 index. Incidentally, the BSE 500 index represents 93% of the total market capitalisation on BSE. Only those companies, whose financial details were available, were taken into consideration. The advantage of using the BSE 500 index as a sample was that it virtually covers all possible sectors that have contributed to the economy, and hence, is an index not biased or inclined towards a particular sector. Grouping of the companies was done strictly according to the sector bifurcation done by the BSE (primary data sourced from Capital Line Plus).

Not the goods though, as players enter into M&As to unleash growth

IIPM PUBLICATION
The FMCG sector has witnessed heightened M&A activity in the recent past in order to expand product and market presence in a sluggish sector. With FICCI extrapolating a growth of merely 2% for the year 2005-06 in the (so-called) fast moving consumer goods industry, the bigwigs of this space are looking for new avenues to overcome the negative trend.

Godrej Beverages & Foods Ltd. grabbed Nutrine for Rs.2.7 billion, Wipro acquired the Glucovita brand from HLL, and Dabur India acquired the loss making Balsara (which is now showing profits), with brands like Odonil, Odomos, Odopic & Sanifresh for Rs.1.4 billion. In the same league, Wockhardt acquired Dumex India, owner of the brands Protinex & Farex from Royal Numico NV.

Alan drops-off from Boeing to Ford

IIPM BEST B-SCHOOL
Former Boeing Executive, Alan Mulally, has been appointed as the new Executive President and Chief Executive Officer of the American auto giant, Ford. This appointment came after Bill Ford gave up his post as a CEO; after struggling for five years to keep the wobbly auto company intact. Aged 61, Mulally has handled the posts of President and CEO at Boeing Commercial Airplanes since 2001. He has been associated with the aircraft manufacturer for the past thirty-seven years. Ford chose upon Mulally looking at his art to keep his customers satisfied, handling labour problems with ease and managing supplies. However, Bill Ford, who took charge as a
CEO in October 2001, will continue to hold the office of Executive Chairman, working on strategically repositioning the company that his great-grandfather Henry Ford had established. His family still holds about 40% of total shares in Ford Motor.

Satyam

IIPM PUBLICATION

Founder & Chairman: B. Ramalinga Raju
Gone are the days when analysts skipped (read failed!) mentioning Satyam in the same breath as that of other Indian IT biggies such as Infosys, Wipro and TCS! “There is nothing impossible to him who will try” has been the main principle that has guided countless men to make robust business conquests across the globe. And Satyam surely seems to be following the adage seriously!

Ramalinga Raju, Chairman, then a 32 year old management graduate from Ohio University, started Satyam in 1987. He has since then been known in the market as a man who sets bold goals, even if others disagreed. This ability to think big and out of the box complemented his unbridled enthusiasm & has been the cornerstone for Satyam’s success in the IT sector (not only in the Indian market but across the world). Ramalinga Raju proudly puffs his chest when saying “Satyam today is one of the youngest IT services companies to be featured among the top companies in the world.” And surely, he has every right to do so considering the fairly short period of time in which Satyam has carved a place for itself under the IT sun. These days Raju has his eyes set on making Satyam a global brand and is steering the company in apparently the right direction.

Satyam posted an impressive revenue figure of $322.5 million for the Q1 FY06-07, a surge of 31% in the corresponding quarter of the previous year. The company is moving up the value chain fast with solutions for Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP), Supply Chain Management (SCM), Customer Relationship Management (CRM), Enterprise Project Portfolio Management, Data Warehousing and Business Intelligence, Enterprise Information Portals, Enterprise Application Integration (EAI), Knowledge Management, e-Procurement and Marketplaces.

Satyam already has offices in 55 countries and despite being a young company, it has on its rolls 30,000 talented IT professionals. The company proudly claims that they service “489 global companies, including over 156 Fortune 500 corporations.” Clearly, the stage is set for this Indian IT scion to make the coming years its own... time is on their side!
