talked about Tata Chemicals Ltd. (TCL) that has created the buzz. The company announced a big ticket billion dollar mega acquisition of the US-based natural soda ash maker – General Chemicals Industrial Products (GCIP) on January 31. The acquisition (100% stake through a mix of debt & equity) will not only make TCL the 2nd largest soda ash maker in the world, but also help it command over 14% (over 5.5 million tonnes) of the world’s total soda ash capacity. However, it’s the choice of the target that deserves the real applause! Once the acquisition is complete, over 50% of TCL’s capacity would be through the natural route. This means both sustainability and natural hedge against the commodity cycle. “Since GCIP is using trona natural mineral, which can be converted into soda ash and is more cost effective (as production cost of natural soda ash is 40-45% cheaper than the cost of producing synthetic soda), it means increased profitability for TCL”, avers Rohit Nagraj, Sr. Research Analyst, Angel Broking. A Tata Chemicals spokesperson confirmed to B&E that “by 2009 and 2010, we will have more such overseas acquisitions as we believe Tata Chemicals has not yet utilised its full potential”.

The 22-hour long journey was tiresome on occasions when I watched the train halt at as many as 40 almost stranded stations and looked at a travel partner whose agenda seemed no less than setting a world record in sleeping the longest (as well as the loudest). But as soon as I stepped at the Jaisalmer station, energy gushed in. Looking at its low-ceiling construction with wonderfully designed pillars, I handed over myself to the royal city. As I turned around, the Punjabi Jat lad seemed to have done the same too, though in a manner typical to him, stretching out wide (and loud) at the very centre of the railway station, in full public view.

important, also has been instrumental in generating maximum complexities to the world affairs. Surprisingly, there has also been reluctance in global initiatives and participation, in resolving its conflicts. Though, Mr. Bush has finally succeeded to sponsor Annapolis peace conference in his last year of presidency and has also succeeded in leaving some positive implications. Instances of sympathy, empathy and donations from many donor countries and organisations in the Paris conference, held just after Annapolis conference, are some examples.
kid to people as old as my father goes into the video-gaming room of my hotel and enjoy big time,” says Abhinesh Sikka, a 26-year old software professional working with US-based Trilogy Software Inc. while explaining how gaming is still not very popular in India. Indeed, a typical talk from a GenNext individual who realises the force behind the global gaming industry, which as per PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) is forecasted to grow at a Compounded Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 9.1%, escalating to $48.9 billion in 2011 from the current $37.5 billion (estimated for FY2007). So is Sikka right about Indians not loving video-games?
