Kindler does a shuffling act!

Jeffrey Kindler, Pfizer’s Chief Executive Officer has announced a turnaround in its leadership positions to re-arrange the drug company, struggling with augmented competition and the loss of exclusivity rights. Two key functions, Research and Finance, are the targetted two blocks. 57-year-old John LaMattina, the research and development chief of the company for a long time, and 45-year-old Alan Levin, the short-time chief financial officer will be retiring soon as a new replacement (rather successor) is found out. All these steps are a consequence of Kindler’s strategies to ‘transform’ Pfizer into a

'While woman'

Working against criminals and poachers is hazardous business. Is it especially difficult for a ‘white’ woman?
Actually, being a ‘white woman’ worked greatly to my advantage, because when I posed as a decoy buyer, no criminal suspected I was working with government enforcement agencies. They also of course had no idea that I could speak the language and that I knew a lot of about Indian wildlife. In many ways I was tailor made for this!

Story continues

And the story continues to unfold into this year, as the bank sets its target on the rural hinterlands. An ICICI Bank spokesperson told 4Ps, B&M, “We see the rural markets as the next horizon of growth for us and are creating a holistic proposition to address this opportunity. Our strategy is to offer a full spectrum of products to meet the needs of various segments of the rural population.” The bank got an overwhelming response when it entered the capital market for the first time in December 2005, and is once again setting its eyes on the bourses for a $5 billion follow-on public offer (scheduled for later this year) to meet the growing demand of India’s dynamic business market. Just that you know, ICICI Bank is the first bank or financial institution from non-Japan Asia to be listed on the NYSE and is today on an overseas borrowing binge, including an overseas capital market offering.

Feast day

On the feast day of the saint, one can sight a parade, which winds through downtown Aguascalientes with people dancing to the sones, jarabes, cuadrillas, polkas, and redovas and schotis. The spectacular 21-day festival features bull-fights, folkloric dancing, games, cock- fights, horse riding and various othe cultural events. With rising popularity and demand, in 1992, a new bullring was designed to host 15,000 enthusiasts, but horse riding remains the prime Mexican sport, which takes place in the magnificent Villa Charra. Amidst all the bulls and horses, men and women perspiring at the fate of their wagers, yell and buck up the horses and screech at cocks’ every move! Besides, competitions and exhibitions by cattle breeders, dairy farmers and sheep ranchers mark the agricultural and the more sedate aspect of the fair.

omething truly unimaginable & very very strange...

ADAM, EVE & NO APPLE!
Something truly unimaginable & very very strange... but then, it all happens in the year 2100. It does!
The year is 2100 – nine decades from now. And Mr. Bean ‘Junior’ is in his late seventies. As we know, life for him too has always been a difficult challenge (like father, like son!) and perhaps ‘the’ reason that in spite of being an adult he never ever thought of courting the troubles of a married life. But our forever Mr. Bachelor too has developed a hitherto hidden penchant for foraying into fatherhood. Yes, Bean Junior too wants to be father at 78. Now the billion dollar question is – how will a man, who has troubles in completing even the simplest of tasks, manage the complex task of initiating paternal bliss? But, hey! Aren’t we supposed to be in the 22nd century?! Yes, expect some relief for Bean Junior... for now, he requires no lady’s grace to hear ‘dad’!

Easy Bill

In terms of sheer numbers, 1,000 Easy Bill outlets are already spanning the entire country, currently focusing on local grocery and medical stores – a move that immediately brings the convenience of payments (like electricity, water, telephone etc) to a local shop – than allowing such services to be limited to banks and the likes. But of astounding impact is the fact that the Munjals are now planning to increase the number of outlets to a whopping 10,000. With corporations like BSES, MTNL, BSNL, Idea, Reliance, Airtel, Hutch & Tata already having signed up, one doesn’t even need to wonder why Easy Bill makes its way rambunctiously into our nationwide survey of the top 25 startups. In fact, one wonders why it took them so long?
