Arindam Chaudhuri - A Sandeep’s CULT is a brilliant book covering the dos and the don’ts for today’s CEOs

Management Guru Arindam Chaudhuri Dean Business School IIPM

Indian MP Priti Patel along with many other British MPs and Lords joined in to celebrate ‘India Rising’ as IIPM Think Tank and Planman launched two iconic books CULT and Indian Power Brands in the presence of global politicians, business tycoons, leaders and celebrities. Guy Kawasaki launched Arindam Chaudhuri and A Sandeep’s CEO guide CULT and Canadian MP Dr Ruby Dhalla launched Indian Power Brands in London recently.

CULT — a leadership and business strategy book written by management gurus, Arindam Chaudhuri and A Sandeep — smashes the dearth of business books with quite some aplomb, and more. Not only does this hard hitting 450 page CEO treatise devastate currently held notions on strategy and leadership at the top level, it also presents electrifying new global theories on how to build and manage transnational corporations.

While many management books forward premises and supposed solutions that are hypothetical at the worst and conjecture-driven at the best (especially those books that develop management theories mistakenly based just on what singular, well-known icons have followed), CULT supports each and every CEO leadership and business strategy that it presents — many of which the authors themselves have implemented in their personal CEO experiences — with massive secondary research and scholarly material. The book is a brilliant primer covering the dos and the don’ts for today’s CEOs of global corporations.

The book is concisely separated into two main focus areas — leadership and business strategy. The verbosity of the authors in brutally criticising today’s CEOs is commendable, with none of the accusations that the authors throw on today’s CEOs (some of who, the authors prove, are almost criminally destroying the organisation’s wealth) failing to miss its mark. At the same time, the authors leave no expenses in their praise for the sincerely committed CEOs, many who are named in the innumerable examples and research nuggets within CULT.

In this book, it is mentioned that if “research and development” is an immediate negative strategy, then “diversification” is a supremely positive one. If having “women CEOs” may bring down shareholders’ wealth, then ensuring that family businesses aren’t run by the successors of founding families, actually increases the same wealth. If “CSR” should never be practiced, then “celebrity endorsements” necessarily should be. The authors also specifically mention that CULT is meant for the hallowed class of CEOs of transnational corporations.

For starters, if they have invested their invaluable few pennies in the stock of any global company, this book provides them an immediate benchmark to rate their CEO (and the company) against the world’s best performing ones.

Technologies - IT Solutions at your finger tips

Management guru Arindam Chaudhuri`s Delhi franchise will be called `Delhi Gypsies and Billionaires` in the upcoming i1 Super Series league, it was announced.

Planman Stars, a company promoted by Arindam Chaudhuri of IIPM, is the owner of the Delhi team in i1 Super Series and is expected to invest about USD 5-6 million in the league`s maiden year.

"Motorsports is as much a sport for the gypsies at heart as for the billionaires by style! The name is as much a tribute to Delhi, the city which is often referred to as Dilwalon ki Dilli, as to the city which boasts of the highest number of billionaires and is undoubtedly the style capital of India," Chaudhuri said in a statement.

"I believe sports greatly unite a community and a country over and above any differences that may exist in views, class and opinions. Nothing else can channelize the competitive spirit and passion of the youth in a more positive manner than sports.”

"That is what we aim to do through a new age sport like competitive motor racing, which has got high attention and is here to stay," Arindam added.

The i1 Super Series have already announced four franchises in Mumbai, Delhi, Hyderabad and Bangalore.

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan is the owner of the Mumbai team while leading Tollywood superstar Nagarjuna took over the Hyderabad side.

Both the male actors of the movie, Akshay and John, started with a dramatic entry by riding on their motorbikes at the campus and the excited crowd followed their movements. Their entry was followed by Deepika Padukone and Chitrangada Sen, who responded equally well to the cheering audience.

Prof Arindam Chaudhuri, director, IIPM Think Tank, said, "At IIPM, we love exposing our students to the lighter side of life constantly, for there is always a lot to learn from it! A first-hand interactive experience with four successful Bollywood icons would definitely inspire them to strive for greater heights in life. Akshay Kumar, of course was looking as fresh and young as many of our students."

Kapil Sibal Disagrees With Jairam Ramesh Over IITs And IIMs World Class Faculty

The quality of faculty in IITs and IIMs has divided the government, with HRD minister Kapil Sibal on Thursday politely rebuffing his Cabinet colleague Jairam Ramesh for his criticism of poor faculty in these institutions of higher learning.

In a sharp riposte to environment minister’s comment that IIT was not doing quality research, the HRD minister said, “We need to base our discussion on evidence not on perception.”

“There is hardly any worthwhile research from our IITs. The faculty in the IIT is not world class. It is the students in IITs who are world class. So the IITs (Indian Institute of Technology) and IIMs (Indian Institute of Management) are excellent because of the quality of students not because of quality of research or faculty,” Ramesh had told reporters on the sidelines of a function in the national Capital on May 23.

Unlike Ramesh’s remark that was made in his individual capacity, Sibal had the endorsement of the Group of Ministers on media briefing. The GoM — consisting of home minister P Chidambaram, I&B minister Ambika Soni, health minister Ghulam Nabi Azad, minority and corporate affairs minister Salman Khurshed and others — had decided that the record on the issue should be set straight. Many IIT/IIM directors had also protested to Sibal about Ramesh’s remark.

While not joining issue with Ramesh, Sibal said the comment of environment minister should be seen in the light of general opinion within the country that the quality of faculty in IITs does not match the world standards. “But in case of IITs, the situation might not be the same,” he said.

He said if factors like availability of foreign faculty, foreign students and medical courses are excluded, IIT-Bombay would rank 20 in the global index, followed by IIT-Delhi at 24, IIT-Kanpur (37) and IIT Madras (39). “If you talk of IITs as engineering institutes they are right there,” he said. Sibal also said 24.7% of teachers in IITs were IIT students. “Surely they are world class,” he said.

However, the HRD minister admitted that in “reality IITs have not gained critical mass to change global scientific discourse”.

He said, “But this has nothing to do with the quality of faculty. It is related to the ecosystem. In India, $8 billion is spent on research whereas the US spends $250 billion. The kind of research grants available abroad is absent in India. Also, there is lack of infrastructure and capital investment. The faculty cannot be blamed for this.”

In reality, IITs have not gained critical mass to change global scientific discourse... But this has nothing to do with the quality of .

Education beyond boundaries

IIPM BBA MBA Institute: Student Notice Board

The Indian higher education system, which had considerably stagnated for a while, is on its way to a significant transformation. Students will have access to more specialised, flexible course options, better research facilities and international perspective. They will also be able to save heavily on travel, accommodation and living expenses.

Twinning programmes
A twinning programme is one where you can do parts of the same course in two different countries. For instance, you can study at an Indian college for the first and second years and then continue the third year at a foreign university, which saves you a considerable amount of money.

Jai Hind College’s BMM faculty has tied up with Bournemouth University in the UK, whereby students have the option to study their final year at the Bournemouth campus, with an automatic scholarship of £3000. Bournemouth, known for its media courses, is also in talks with Whistling Woods International for a similar partnership. For its arts students, Jai Hind has partnered with Nottingham Trent University, UK, where students can study for one term. Similar exchanges for other science and management courses are in the pipeline.

St Xavier’s college offers a tie-up with University of Bath, UK for biotechnology programmes and with Teesside University, UK for social research and development.

HR College has collaborative courses with campuses abroad such as SP Jain Institute of Management in Singapore and Australia and New York University’s Abu Dhabi campus for BBA programmes.

Ecube Global college only has the twinning option for engineering students, where they study one year in the Thane campus and the following two years at Newcastle University, UK. These students are given a £3000 fee waiver.

SP Jain Institute of Management offers Global MBA and BBA programmes, where students can study in Mumbai, Dubai, Singapore and Sydney.
Internships, research and student exchange partnerships

Welingkar, as part of its ‘global college’ philosophy, has partners in various countries, including the USA, UK, Canada, Sweden, Germany and Denmark. These tie-ups are for research exchanges and student exchange programmes. They also have partners for internship opportunities in these countries in Germany, the USA and Sweden.

Malardalen University, Sweden: Has partnerships with the Welingkar’s B-school for exchange programmes, and has a collaborative ‘Innovation centre’ where business ideas are incubated.

The Swedish university is also in talks with Mumbai University for partnerships at the Masters and PhD level, and to set up a ‘technology park’ for research in innovation technology, and an incubation center. Also exploring partnerships with IIT Bombay, XLRI.

IIT-Bombay has also signed a partnership with Brown University, USA for student exchanges slated to start 2011.

'Janvani to Janta ki vani'-Seminar by The Sunday Indian Magazine

Arindam Chaudhuri: We need Hazare's leadership

On Saturday afternoon, at the Kamani auditorium the who’s who of the Indian media industry got together to discuss the state of the media. While senior journalists of Delhi justified the present role of the media, they did not shirk from pointing its shortcomings and stressing the need for introspection.

The occasion was a seminar organized jointly by Planman Media Group’s magazine, The Sunday Indian and The Times Foundation. The seminar was titled “Janvani to Janta ki vani”.
Inaugurated by senior journalist Prabhu Chawla, the seminar was kicked off by the The Sunday Indian’s Editor-in-Chief and management guru Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri asking whether the media really represented the voice of the people. Chaudhuri said that this was the time for introspection as we seemed to have lost our path. He said it was the time to rise on the occasion rather than shirk from our responsibilities.

Presided over by Achutanand Mishra, the seminar had some prominent names on the panel, including Director General of Doordarshan Leeladhar Mandloi, group editor of Aaj Samaj Rahul Dev, Consulting Editor of Amar Ujala Ajay Upadhyay, Managing Editor of IBN 7 Ashutosh, Director of Times Foundation Puran Chand Pandey, Zee news anchor Purna Prasoon Vajpayee, President of Sadhna News Channel and General Secretary of Broadcast Editors’ Association NK Singh, Managing Editor of India News Kurbaan Ali, Officiating Editor of NDTV Sanjay Ahirwal, chief of News Express Channel Mukesh Kumar, senior writer and and programming head of Channel P7 Sharad Dutt, former chief producer of Doordarshan Kuber Dutt and writer and media critic Vartika Nanda.

Welcoming the guests, the Managing Editor of The Sunday Indian, Sutanu Guru said that media is for the people and it is responsible to the people, so it cannot shy away from its responsibility towards the people.

In his presidential address, Achutanand Mishra said that in India, media has come down to its lowest level and it is time to restore its influence and strength. Mishra said that in a democracy, media should not succumb to the pressures of the market.

The Managing Editor of IBN-7, Ashutosh said that India is changing, and in this process of change, media too is changing and this change is positive so there is no need to shed tears over it. Admitting that between n 2004-05 and in 2009, some activities of the media were blots on its character but it had since regenerated itself. Ashutosh said that in those corers of the world, where the media is strong, situations can never become like that in Egypt. The media had played a role in keeping the morale of the people.

The Group Editor of Aaj Samaj, Rahul Dev said that the media is under pressure from the market and the media does not have the strength to fight it out. So, not much can be expected from it. It is time to free the media from the pressures of the market and there is hope for it.
The Consultant Editor of Amar Ujala, Ajay Upadhay, said that the Indian media does not cross over its boundaries and it is balanced. He said that whether the media is the fourth pillar of democracy or not is to be debated afresh. There have always been questions about whether the media is the voice of the people but it does offer people a platform a vent their concerns.
Senior Journalist Punya Prasun Vajpayee said that today the media decides its direction according to the mathematics of profit and loss. And for this, media alone cannot be held responsible. The whole system is to be blamed for this. He said that under such circumstances, morality is only to be mentioned, not applied.

The General Secretary of the Broadcasting Editor’s Association, N K Singh said that the TAM meters are installed in only those places, where you have money and these are the places that decide the direction and path of a news channel. He said that unless channels get free from the shackles of TRPs, the cause of the people will remain sidelined and marginalised. He expressed confidence that within two years media content would improve dramatically.

The Managing Editor of India News, Qurban Ali, said that the country is not dependent on the media very much. The people of the nation are quite awakened and had exhibited maturity by rejecting NDA’s ‘Feel Good’ and ‘India Shining’ slogans and maintaining nationwide peace after the Ayodhya verdict. And the media did not play any role in it. And therefore it is time the media takes care of its responsibilities.

NDTV’s Executive Editor Sanjay Ahirwal said that the news channels will now have to pay attention to content, else the nation will reject them. There has to be a middle path between the pressures of the market and morality.

Senior journalist Zafar Agha said that since the TRP decides the channels’s move, the question now that needs to be asked is whether journalism itself has lost its meaning.

The discussion was steered by Onkareshwar Pandey, managing editor of The Sunday Indian’s Bhojpuri and Hindi editions and the managing president of the Broadcasters’ Club of India.
Before the close of the seminar Prof Arindam Choudhary summarized the main points of the discussion and thanked the invitees for their valuable inputs. He also thanked the head of the Times Foundation Puran Pandey. The close of the ceremony saw all attendees receivig momentos from Prof Choudhary and Pandey.
