Goldman Sachs new Bangalore Office site has an on-site tomb

Last updated on: October 23, 2012 at 11:03 am By Desh Kapoor

Goldman Sachs is the Investment bank to work for. It is the place for the hard-nosed professionals with million dollar take homes. In India the Goldman Sachs employees have a strange problem. The office space, it seems is has some serious issues. A Toronto-based architect Adamson Associates have come out with a report to suggest that construction for the 4000 back-office staff in Bangalore is facing some rather interesting challenges. The site has bed smells, and the entire project wreaks... Read more

India mention in US Presidential Debate: Complete Silence?

Last updated on: October 23, 2012 at 10:44 am By Desh Kapoor

The last Presidential Debate in the US on Monday (10/22) was on Foreign Policy. One wanted to know what the candidates thought of their countries ties and relationships with the main countries in the world. Strangely, India didn’t come up even once. Not once. While other countries were mentioned and discussed at length multiple times: Iran: 47 times Israel: 34 times China: 32 times Syria: 28 times Pakistan: 25 times Afghanistan: 21 times Admittedly, all these countries are either in...

Mr. Sahay sells joy to find his

Last updated on: October 23, 2012 at 9:46 am By Desh Kapoor

Most of the times the stories on mass media are passed on. Not sure why. But this is one story that is very heart warming although it is about how someone in his old age is trying to work through his life with dignity! This is the picture of Mr. Sahay. One person on the Facebook shared the picture that he took of this gentleman in the Inner Circle F-block of Connaught Place in Delhi. As you can see he... Read more

Supreme Court asks Indian Govt to ban all GMO field trials for 10 years

Last updated on: October 23, 2012 at 6:52 am By Desh Kapoor

Thanks to the agriculture activists and also unprecedented activism by the Supreme Court, India is one of the few countries to stand up to Monsanto. Monsanto has been very aggressive at pushing its Genetically Modified seeds and crops all over the world. While these crops may increase production, they will also make the target countries slaves of this company’s products for ever. So, it is important and indeed critical to beat Monsanto at this game at the very outset –... Read more

Tatas are a $100 billion Conglomerate. India's first!

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 3:24 pm By Desh Kapoor

Tatas is India’s first $100 billion conglomerate. I am not sure if many in the Indian media have noticed it and commented on this extra-ordinary milestone and achievement. Without fanfare, Tata posted a tally of sales across its more than 100 operating companies, including 31 publicly-listed holdings, all of which report earnings separately. Combined sales soared 20% to $100.1 billion in fiscal year 2012, even as after-tax profit reportedly fell 9.4% to $5.2 billion. Nearly three-fifths of sales came from abroad, helping... Read more

Karan Thapar is a Devil's Advocate. Gives clean chit to Salman Khurshid

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 2:45 pm By Desh Kapoor

In a world, where divorces are going through the roof because the two people living together for years, often decades – don’t even know or trust each other enough, here is India’s self-proclaimed task master of politicians on TV giving a clean chit to Salman Khurshid DESPITE hard evidence. Pardon, Karan Thapar, if his melodramatic pink slip shows from us his hard black suit: Ultimately, all analysis and evidence apart, I have three deeper reasons for believing Salman. First, I’ve...

India's Looting Government Ministers and Officials: "Gangs of Hungerpur"

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 2:25 pm By Desh Kapoor

The World Bank knows. The Indian Supreme Court knows. Heck, even India’s Planning Commission knows it! But India’s Food Minister K.V. Thomas doesn’t know. That India’s food distribution is corrupt, inefficient and above all looted by the likes of Thomas and his ilk along with their “Gangs of Hungerpur”. About 5 percent to 10 percent of the food meant for the poor is lost, and that is due to mismanagement, Thomas said in an interview at his office in New... Read more

Ayn Rand's Indian Follower is a Strange Beast

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 1:34 pm By Desh Kapoor

Ayn Rand has a cult like popularity in India. That we all know and see how she is so respected. She, born a Russian, was a laissez-faire queen and evangelist of individualism. In India, the statistics say that her books outsell Karl Marx 16:1! Ayn Rand is read 16 times more than Karl Marx is. What is interesting is the demographics of who really idolizes her. According to a Left-wing blogger: David Seaton, a left-wing American blogger and journalist living... Read more

Starbucks Enters India.

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 12:10 pm By Desh Kapoor

Finally, after a lot of wait and hand wringing, Starbucks has opened its first store in India. With 4,000-square-foot, two-level store in historic Horinam Circle Starbucks opened a new chapter in India’s beverage market. A country where one can get great Chai for Rs 10 even now will have stores which sell a bastardized and Westernized version for over 10 times that. The expansion plans of Starbucks are very modest now than earlier. This year Starbucks will open only 2... Read more

Loss of Groundwater linked to Earthquake in Spain, lessons for India?

Last updated on: October 22, 2012 at 11:21 am By Desh Kapoor

The analysis of the 5.1 richter earthquake in historic Murcia town of Lorca in southeast Spain last year has brought up an interesting finding, that could prove disastrous to India as well. Scientists now believe that it wasn’t created by natural reasons, but due to man-made stress on the earth’s crust. Now, scientists say they have evidence that the disaster was not caused by nature, but can be attributed to a controversial technique to suck water out of the ground... Read more
