Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: INSPIRATION AND INSIGHTS FROM THE ACHIEVEMENTS AND CHALLENGES OF ONE OF INDIA'S GREATEST ENTREPRENEURS 'I have always held a deep belief that an institution like a bank must live forever. If what you have created does not outlive you, then you have failed. It is the true test of what you are building.' How did Uday, a scion of a well-established cotton trading family, break away from the ready nest-egg offered by the traditional family business to set up his eponymous Kotak Mahindra Bank, known for being one of the most expensive bank stocks in the world? 'How Uday Kotak Built a Valuable Indian Bank' recounts the story of a young man, brought up in a family with Gandhian values and a simple middle-class ethos, who just wanted to be a professional cricketer. With a foiled dream and a deep desire to do 'something on my own', Uday started out with an MBA degree and an innate ability to spot unseen business opportunities, to set up a company in the small office space provided by his father. The company crossed various trials by fire in tandem with India's economy to emerge as the bank with the highest market price to book ratio in the world, a measure that indicates the efficiency of the bank in value creation as perceived by investors. Based on personal interviews with Uday, his Kotak team and friends, readers will learn what it takes to create a world-class financial conglomerate with international standards of corporate governance and asset efficiency. How Uday Kotak Built a Valuable Indian Bank is the sixth and final book in the series, Shapers of Business Institutions.

Download or read book How Deepak Parekh Grew HDFC Group Exponentially written by R Gopalakrishnan Vidyut and published by Rupa Publications India Pvt Limited. This book was released on 2021 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A MUST READ FOR ITS RARE, YET UNTOLD INSIGHTS, INTO THE STORY OF A SHAPER WHO BREATHED HIS OWN VALUES OF INTEGRITY AND ACCOUNTABILITY INTO THE DNA OF AN INSTITUTION, THAT STILL REMAINS TRUE TO ITS MIDDLE-CLASS VALUES. The 1970s in India were dark times of high tax slabs, land sharks and black money. When loans were a last resort meant for emergencies and buying a house was beyond aspiration, possible only at retirement, nobody was willing to bet on the repayment capacity of the ignored middle class, except one man. This invisible class went on to become the primary potential customer base for Housing Development Finance Corporation (HDFC). The rest as they say is history. While HDFC was Hasmukh Thakordas Parekh's brainchild, it was his nephew Deepak Parekh who shaped it. Parekh left a comfortable overseas job with a plum salary and exclusive perks to join his uncle's mortgage company at a 50 per cent pay cut. He nurtured HDFC to become India's largest and cleanest financial conglomerate-not just in housing finance, but later in banking, asset management and insurance too.

Book excerpt: ...the relationship between employment growth and output growth...is greatly affected by the functioning, efficiency and institutional structure of the labor market. --Joseph Stiglitz, Chief Economist Despite the resumption of economic growth in most LAC countries since the late 1980s, improvements on the employment/unemployment front have been sluggish at best, with a few notable exceptions. In many countries, renewed growth in LAC in the 1990s has so far failed to generate adequate new jobs in place of those lost during the adjustment, and to restore wages to pre-crisis levels. The focus of this book is on: · the performance of labor markets in the LAC region since the beginning of significant structural reforms most countries in the region have undertaken · the structure of labor markets, institutions, and incentive structures; · the effects of that structure on employment, earnings, income distribution, and poverty levels; · the role of labor market institutions in labor market trends; · the options for reform and the benefits of comprehensive labor reforms, as evidenced inside and outside the region; · labor policy reforms to improve in a sustainable way the employment/unemployment outlook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Almost with a touch of philosophy, yet firmly grounded in the reality of business and national affairs, the author argues thatthere is no reality, only perceptions of reality. Perceptions influence our thoughts and actions and these, in turn, are influenced by thelenses through which we see the world. There are six such lenses: purpose, authenticity, courage, trust, luck and fulfilment. R. Gopalakrishnan uses, as examples, the lives ofordinary people' to illustrate his view. By rotating the lenses, Gopal attempts to understand what success in career and life really means. While biographies of celebrities are inspiring to read, they are often read like dramatic fairy tales-out of the scope of an average person. But in Six Lenses, Gopalakrishnan narrates the stories of PLUs (people like us)-as he likes to call them-from business and society, whom he has known during his illustrious career. He elucidates the extraordinary lessons that can be learnt from everyday experiences and shows how, by altering our perceptions, we can better overcome the challenges we face at work and in family matters. Thought-provoking, profound and questioning, Six Lenses will make you look at your life and career in a different light.
