Download or read book Kingfizzer written by Kingshuk Nag and published by HarperCollins. This book was released on 2017-06-25 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: He was once the King of Good Times - known for his opulent lifestyle, calendar shoots with bikini-clad models, high stakes in an IPL team, and an airline that was the last word in luxury. But the global downturn in aviation and the rising fuel prices worsened Kingfisher's financial ill health. The several thousands of crores loaned to it by a consortium of banks proved insufficient to arrest the slide in its fortunes. By early 2013, the high-flying airline shut shop and closed the doors on disgruntled employees and investors - none of which, though, made any dent in Mallya's own lifestyle as he had pilfered cash from the company and stashed it abroad. Facing charges of money laundering, misappropriation and being a wilful defaulter, Mallya left the country in 2016 for his country estate near London. Kingfizzer: The Mallya Story is the tale of how the king lost his cheer and high spirits, to be remembered for one of the biggest corporate collapses of our time.

Book The King of Good Times

Download or read book The King of Good Times written by Harish Maiya and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2011-05-16 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Dr. Vijay Mallya is not your typical everyday CEO. He has made it to the Forbes billionaires' list many number of times but he doesn't care if he is on the list or not because he doesn't want to be categorized as a ruthless moneymaker. He not only lives like The King of Good Times but he is working overtime to persuade others to live the high life too. Once upon a time, his critics called him the playboy of the east for his glamorous lifestyle but slowly and steadily Dr. Mallya has earned the respect of his detractors. After the launch of Kingfisher Airlines in 2005, he was chosen as the Indian Businessman of the year. The Indian government honored him with the Outstanding Business Leader Award and ETNow selected Dr. Mallya as one of the three big movers and shakers of the first decade of 21st century corporate India. After his father's untimely death, Dr. Mallya became the CEO of a hundred million dollar UB Group and grew it into a multi-billion dollar global empire. He is a genius of a businessman who is the ultimate brand ambassador of his company UB Group. He sets himself high goals and works round the clock to achieve them. His out-of-the-box thinking and business strategies have revolutionized the way brand equity could be grown by businesses in the country. He is a supreme human being and so his business rivals and political rivals are usually surprised by Dr. Mallya's magnanimity. As a politician, Dr. Mallya has been trying really hard to change the Indian political landscape. He is a brand marketing genius but for him, superior customer service always comes first. He goes to extreme lengths to make sure customers are satisfied by his products and services. Dr. Mallya is also a sports fanatic. He owns the Force India Formula One team and has been an instrumental figure in bringing the Formula One Grand Prix championship race to India. He also owns the Indian Premier League cricket team called the Royal Challengers and is very much involved in making a successful championship run for the team. He is also the man who has changed horse racing in India from a gambling den to a classy entertainment venue. For all the critics who downplayed Dr. Mallya's success and bashed his playboy image, it is not surprising that he is having the last laugh. Dr. Mallya and his future generations are set to carry on the Mallya legacy successfully. Long live the King of Good Times.

Download or read book BANKING written by PRABHU TL and published by NestFame Creations Pvt Ltd.. This book was released on with total page 156 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Banking is an industry that deals with credit, cash holding, investments, and other types of financial operations. Because it allocates cash to borrowers with productive investments, the banking industry is one of the most important drivers of most economies. Deposits and withdrawals, currency exchange, forex trading, and wealth management are all services provided by banks. They also serve as a conduit between depositors and borrowers, using the monies placed by their customers to provide credit to those who need it. Banks make money by charging interest on loans, which they benefit from by charging a greater interest rate than they pay on customer deposits. They must, however, follow the rules set down by the central bank or the national government. A bank is a financial institution that accepts deposits from customers and provides loans to individuals and businesses. Banks profit by charging greater interest rates on loans than they do on customer deposits. In the United States, banks are mandated to hold 10% of client deposits as reserves, while the remaining 90% is used to make loans. How the Banking Industry Works - Banking Fundamentals The Federal Reserve regulates banks in the United States. Banks must keep at least 10% of each deposit on hand, but they can lend out the remaining 90% as loans. The reserve requirement applies to all types of banks with a US banking licence, and the reserve can be held as a deposit in a local Fed bank or as cash in the vault.

  • Author : James Crabtree
  • Publisher : Crown
  • Release : 2019-07-02
  • ISBN : 1524760072
  • Pages : 418 pages

Download or read book The Billionaire Raj written by James Crabtree and published by Crown. This book was released on 2019-07-02 with total page 418 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A colorful and revealing portrait of the rise of India’s new billionaire class in a radically unequal society India is the world’s largest democracy, with more than one billion people and an economy expanding faster than China’s. But the rewards of this growth have been far from evenly shared, and the country’s top 1% now own nearly 60% of its wealth. In megacities like Mumbai, where half the population live in slums, the extraordinary riches of India’s new dynasties echo the Vanderbilts and Rockefellers of America's Gilded Age, funneling profits from huge conglomerates into lifestyles of conspicuous consumption. James Crabtree’s The Billionaire Raj takes readers on a personal journey to meet these reclusive billionaires, fugitive tycoons, and shadowy political power brokers. From the sky terrace of the world’s most expensive home to impoverished villages and mass political rallies, Crabtree dramatizes the battle between crony capitalists and economic reformers, revealing a tense struggle between equality and privilege playing out against a combustible backdrop of aspiration, class, and caste. The Billionaire Raj is a vivid account of a divided society on the cusp of transformation—and a struggle that will shape not just India’s future, but the world’s.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The author of this book asserts that an absence of ethical leadership and unethical practices were the reasons for major global business scandals such as Enron, Satyam, Lehman Brothers, and WorldCom.

As a remedy to avoid future scandals, the author points to several ethical directions, and the principle of Dharma, mentioned in The Bhagavad Gita by Lord Krishna, a major deity in Hinduism, who is considered Dharmātman (one who imbibes the Dharma). Written in conversation style using an executive education scenario, this book examines real world cases in various sectors like education, medical, non-government organizations (NGOs) and retail using the directions of the Dharmātman.

Book The Dirty Dozen

Download or read book The Dirty Dozen written by N. Sundaresha Subramanian and published by Pan Macmillan. This book was released on 2024-04-26 with total page 203 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The sensational rise and shocking downfall of India's twelve largest corporate defaulters. In June 2017, the Reserve Bank of India sent shockwaves through the nation as it disclosed a list of the country’s twelve biggest defaulters who were responsible for approximately a quarter of all bad loans in the Indian banking system. The alarming discovery of the ‘dirty dozen’ pulled back the curtain on the murky landscape of corporate irresponsibility and regulatory neglect, revealing the harsh reality of gross economic disparity, complacent governance and coordinated deceit. In The Dirty Dozen, business journalist N. Sundaresha Subramanian investigates the cause and impact of India’s chronic bad loan issue. Recording the economic misadventures of Vijay Mallya, Nirav Modi and Jatin Mehta, among others, he lays bare the intricate maze of financial chaos, political plunder and malpractices that ail the country’s corporate landscape. In doing so, he makes an eye-opening diagnosis of the nation’s financial health since liberalization. In a country where millions struggle for basic sustenance, The Dirty Dozen offers a brave, hard-hitting and much-needed exposé of crooked business moguls who have orchestrated deeply damaging financial manoeuvres and amassed millions, enjoying impunity nonetheless and leaving India’s economy teetering on the edge.

Book The Airline Revolution

Download or read book The Airline Revolution written by Gordon Mills and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-15 with total page 437 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When starting new airlines in response to government deregulation, entrepreneurs in the U.S. and Europe reduced some traditional service qualities (to reduce costs), concentrated on non-stop services between city pairs not already so connected, improved on-time performance, and offered low fares to win leisure travelers from the incumbents and to encourage more travel. In recent developments, some of the new airlines have offered optional extras (at higher fares) to attract business travelers and entered major routes alongside the legacy carriers. Within both the U.S. and Europe, deregulation removed most geographical barriers to expansion by short-haul airlines. Later, limited deregulation spread to other world regions, where many short-haul routes connect city pairs in different countries, and where governments have retained traditional two-country mechanisms restricting who may fly. To gain access to domestic routes in other countries, some new airlines are setting up affiliate companies in neighboring countries, with each company legally controlled in the country of domicile. With air travel growing strongly, especially in Asia, a common result is intense, but potentially short-lived, competition on major routes. The recent developments give clear signposts to likely mid-term outcomes, and make this an opportune time to report on the new-airline scene. The Airline Revolution will provide valuable economic analysis of this climate to students, airline professionals advancing to senior positions, public servants and others who provide advice to governments.

Book The Great Indian Fraud

Download or read book The Great Indian Fraud written by Smarak Swain and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 262 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How do tax havens and syndicates running shell companies help fraudsters escape the long arm of the law? How does the ambiguity of valuation in the start-up ecosystem increase its vulnerability to corporate fraud? How are manufacturers and exporters from China exploiting India's Free Trade Area (FTA) with other countries to dump goods at artificially low prices in the Indian market? What challenges does the Belt and Road Initiative (BRI) of China pose for regulators of India? Why do people fall for Ponzi and pyramid schemes again and again? Serious frauds affect society and economy in damaging ways, belittling the common man's trust in the system. Yet, barely do we understand how these affect our lives. A first-of-its-kind, The Great Indian Fraud reveals how all such frauds result from the manipulation of complex financial transactions, involving simple mathematics and tricks, to deceive regulators, enforcers, business partners and customers. Drawing on his experience in the fields of forensic audit and financial investigation, author Smarak Swain explains the modus operandi behind some of the most notorious cases of fraud-Haridas Mundhra, Jayanti Dharma Teja, Harshad Mehta, Ketan Parekh, Hasan Ali Khan, B. Ramalinga Raju, Nirav Modi, Vijay Mallya, Nirmal Singh Bhangoo and many more-narrating the rise and fall of the greatest fraudsters of our times. Informative and skilfully narrated, The Great Indian Fraud is a must-read to understand how frauds happen, how law enforcement agencies handle crises, the sectors that witness maximum frauds as well as the emerging sectors that are at high risk.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How Indian companies have faced Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity & Ambiguity Failure in itself is not a catastrophe, but failure to learn from failure, definitely is. It is not enough to merely train leaders in core competencies, without identifying the key factors that inhibit their use. Rather, it is resilience and adaptability that are vital in order to distinguish potential leaders from mediocre managers. Authors Suhayl Abidi and Dr Manoj Joshi bring to readers The VUCA Company (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity and Ambiguity), the first of its kind in India, on original case studies of 12 Indian corporate failures, since the time of economic liberalization. Each study has been the result of meticulous research over the years and provides insights into behavioural and systemic aspects of failures and under-performance. Through these engaging corporate stories, VUCA discusses how individuals and organizations can avoid, minimize and recover from failures. SUHAYL ABIDI is a practitioner of Organizational Learning & Knowledge Management. He has spent the last 25 years with organizations such as Penguin Publishing, The British Council, Reliance Industries, Essar and Piramal Healthcare. DR MANOJ JOSHI, PhD (Strategy), Fellow Institution of Engineers India, is a Professor – Strategy, Entrepreneurship and Innovation, Amity Business School.

Book Why Can t We Make Money in Aviation

Download or read book Why Can t We Make Money in Aviation written by Adam M. Pilarski and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-02-11 with total page 260 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Seemingly since the beginning of aviation history there has been discussion and speculation on the remarkable inability of the industry to generate profits. This is even more so the case now, when a number of the world's airlines are bankrupt. The failure of aviation, or at least of airlines, to produce a reasonable rate of return on investments has been a fact pondered by many at great length but never satisfactorily understood. Somehow the industry seems to violate the most basic principles of economics and business. The question as to how this is the case and how the industry managed to survive, let alone actually grow and prosper so far, is the subject of this book. It details the historical performance of the industry and critically explores the various theories proposed to explain its lack of profitability. Summarizing the analysis, the book also looks to the future, combining lessons from the past and recommendations regarding the better management of airlines. In conclusion it offers a prediction on the future of the global airline industry.
