Dragon... and a little fire

There is an uncanny similarity between the events in Tibet and what was written in the book Dragon Fire


‘Pakistan neutralized,’ read the encrypted message. Air Marshal Commodore Ravi Thapar received it in the code which still had not been deciphered by the United States and European experts. It was a simple message leading to a battle plan he had already drawn up. The Chinese forces which had been pushed into Arunachal Pradesh would now be cut off from behind and then destroyed. Part of it was revenge for the dreadful defeat by China on India in 1962. Part of it was sensible military strategy... These were the lines from the famous thriller Dragon Fire written by renowned BBC journalist Humphrey Hawksley in the year 2000.

This futuristic fiction which was sequenced in the time zone of 2007 is having its ramification felt right in 2008. Incidentally Dragon Fire is set against the backdrop of a Tibetan uprising propelled by a renegade group of soldiers belonging to India’s elite Special Frontier Force (SFF) most of whose recruits are incidentally Tibetan Buddhists. It was Major Gendun Choedrak and his men from the SFF whose mission was to rescue a Buddhist religious leader Lhundrub Togden from the Drapchi Prison in Lhasa, Tibet.....Continue

Elixir of life

So while standing tall provides the Indian pharmaceutical industry with the required visibility, it’s the vibrancy that boosts its growth, a fact that has been instrumental in its huge success across the globe. Now with a more than two years of existence under the product patent regime (introduced in January 2005), a lot of things seem to have changed. A shift in focus for growth in the marketplace (away from mature markets to emerging ones and from primary care classes to biotech and specialist-driven therapies) has been the order of the day globally, with India being no exception. One of the most evident examples of this is the shift from US market towards Europe. Indian pharma majors, who made their fortunes in the US during the last vestiges of the previous century, now for the last couple of years, seem busy focusing on other markets, particularly Europe.

For the first time in its history, Ranbaxy reported a 78% year-on-year jump in European sales at $93 million for the quarter ended March 2007, while its revenues from the US grew by a miniscule 3% to $86 million. It was not the only Indian pharma major. 50% of Wockhardt’s revenue was from Europe and even Dr Reddy’s Labs (whose maximum revenues were still from US), witnessed a significant rise in sales from Europe. Its revenues from European generics (including betapharm) stood at $223 million, as against $56 million in FY ’06.

The rich West Bank & barren Gaza

The US never tires of talking about democracy and the methodology to be adopted to inculcate the tenets of freedom in the Muslim mind. When it comes to action, all the US does is to either bomb the country out of shape (as in Iraq) or encourage an undemocratic divide in the nation, leading to the overthrow of legitimately elected government (as in Palestine). The US and its biggest stooge Israel have managed to push the popular Hamas faction to Gaza and installed another Western poodle, Mahmoud Abbas in West Bank, as the so-called “moderate” leader of the Palestinian Authority. America, Israel and the EU are showering billions of dollars on Abbas to help him marginalize the Palestinian struggle and embarrass the other leaders. What are the credentials of Abbas, which make him the blue-eyed boy of the West? "Abbas came into limelight with his 600 page book on the Oslo peace accord. Interestingly, he wrote his book without once mentioning the word 'occupation', referred to Israeli 'redeployment' rather than 'withdrawal', "shared a London-based noted columnist Robert Fisk, while talking to B&E. "Yes, Abbas is a nice boy, their kind of guy, because he wears a tie and goes to the White House and says all the right things,” adds Fisk.

Pharma revenues set to double by 2020!

As predicted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC), by 2020 global pharmaceutical market would witness a sales doubling to the tune of $1.3 trillion. Reasons like ever increasing population, obesity and preventive treatments will attribute to this doubling of sales. Interestingly Brazil, China, India, Indonesia, Mexico, Russia and Turkey would hold one-fifth of these revenues. As per the report however ‘the current pharmaceutical industry business model is both economically unsustainable and operationally incapable of acting quickly enough to produce the types of innovative treatments demanded by global markets’. PwC proposed that to tap the potential markets, the industry should definitely undergo certain elementary changes in the manner it operates.

The feeling is chilling...

Take the gladiator test. Walk into any retail mall on a weekend this month. And walk into the same mall after some months on a similar weekend. You’ll yourself feel the dramatic reduction in customers. How can we be so sure? Well, we did the tracking ourselves over the past few months with the leading research firm Indian Council for Market Research (ICMR), Planman Consulting all over India. The study, which critically analysed the shopping habits of 2000 people across Indian metros, and revealed startling results; the main one being that only a relatively meagre 18% favoured going to the malls for actual purchases (while a majority preferred visiting neighbourhood showrooms and outlets). A case to point is the Great India Place in Noida, Uttar Pradesh, touted to be the most rocking experience for shoppers. A few months ago, if you were to walk into the Pantaloon outlet in this mall, you couldn’t have reached the billing counter unless the 50 odd intrepid shoppers before you had had their fill. It seemed as if the entire city was headed to the Great India Place.

Chile is changing!

Chile is not a mere celebration of harmony, panorama & serenity, but also a transfusion of political stability, social development & financial success in the whole of Latin America (LA). This ribbon shaped country has been attracting large investments and attention, particularly after it adopted the free trade regime. This economy is considered one of the world’s largest free markets and has FTAs (Free Trade Agreements) with most of developed economies like the US, the EU, New Zealand, Singapore et al.

Chile has charted a sound economic policy with great focus on infrastructure and privatisation. It has predominantly exploited its rich natural resource base and has been minting money from its copper reserves. It is the most stable and flourishing LA economy and is largely free of any coups and arbitration. The GDP per capita stands at $12,700 and has employment rate of more than 92%. Chile has been successfully managing a low inflation and high GDP growth, predominantly on account of its high export earnings. Export income for the year 2006 had been at a mind boggling $59 billion. Realising the constraint with natural resources, Chile had recently started focusing on non-mineral exports like fishery, forestry, wood products, food and wine.
