Un‘family’ar

Nirula’s acquisition has brought in welcome change. But the true test of survival starts now...

Like most legendary Indian companies with quality offerings but sans the advantage of scale, this one, too, found the going tough when global sharks like McDonald’s, Pizza Hut and Domino’s swamped the market with their QSR chains. And when Nirula’s found the going tough, it decided to take the M&A route with aplomb; but only as a target.

Nirula’s got off to a promising beginning in the 1930s, when the Nirula Brothers rolled out a restaurant in the heart of capital. Christened as ‘Hotel India’ it became the keystone of today’s Nirula’s. With lots of firsts to its credit, like introducing espresso coffee, snack bar, ice cream parlour – Nirula’s became the pioneer in introducing the QSR concept in India and created a platform for the modern QSR industry.....Continue

‘Truly Asia’ pipeline

Some perceive the nuclear imbroglio in Iran as a problem, others view it as an opportunity. A psychiatrist would suggest that the difference lies in the perception and an international relations analyst would make us believe that the differences stem from ideological misperceptions which shape the worldview of a nation. On the other hand, a more credible explanation about the respective stands of Malaysia and the US vis-à-vis Iran flow from the politico- economical perspective. It is this perspective which facilitates our understanding of the urge of Malaysia to build a 300 km-long pipeline running from refineries in the west to its east coast.

Tata Motor’s trucks revamped

In order to compete with global majors, Tata is planning to bring in a new range of trucks after its home-grown Tata Motorsworldclass cars. With the golden quadrilateral highway project in the completion stages, trucks, with more powerful engines, are the need of the hour in order to link the four metros in the country. “We are revamping the whole range of products in commercial vehicles,” Tata Motors’ Managing Director Ravi Kant said. The new trucks would have a complete makeover in terms of styling and would be launched in new markets like Korea. In all probability, there would be a stake acquisition in automo- tive parts supplier, Visteon Corporation. No long term details were however available for the same.

Do you still think it is necessary to implement Six Sigma throughout an entire organisation?

Que: So why do so many companies still stuff Six Sigma into every nook and cranny?

Ans: Because they have to, especially if they are on the large side. Small companies, because of their relative informality and ease of communication, can sometimes implement change programs here and there and as needed.

But when it comes to introducing radical change across divisions, departments, layers and even countries, employees rarely respond with perfect gusto. They don’t say, “Hey, this new program that’s going to screw up my job sounds just great! Bring it on!” Th ey mutter, “Here comes the new flavor-of-the-month. If I can just ignore it long enough, it will pass.” Such resistance is natural and can even be deserved. But if a company lets those responses play out, it will get, well, nothing in return.

By contrast, consider what happened when General Electric – the company Jack used to lead – decided to implement Six Sigma in 1995. Obviously, the rollout wasn’t without plenty of bumps, but the company did make sure Six Sigma wasn’t one of many initiatives floating around.

...come to the rescue of Pepsi Gold, when Ooh-Aah-India floundered for the Blue Billion!

To be fair, it was not only Pepsi that used the 2007 Cricket World Cup as a marketing tool. Others too hitched a ride on the same boat. But you have to give it to Pepsi. After the Caribbean debacle when most brands were seen looking for cover, Pepsi dared to be different, played on India’s emotional attachment with the game, backtracked from the 2007 Cup and is now focusing on the next World Cup. Ooh-Aah–India may not have become the new Indian anthem, but their latest offering has nevertheless taken the Blue Billion campaign a step ahead.

Okay enough! Here’s how the ad goes, for the uninitiated that is. Four teenagers ask a tailor to stitch an India cricket team uniform for them. When the old tailor starts taking measurements, they come up with exaggerated figures. Finally, the old and by now baffled tailor asks them when they would like the delivery. They smile mischievously at each other and declare four years later (in time for the next World Cup), even as they walk out gulping the (erstwhile) World Cup cola.

Damage control? Guess you are already thinking along those lines. This TVC has actually managed to do much more than come to the rescue of both cricket and Pepsi alike. Says Shoumitra Rai Chaudhary, the Creative Director for this ad: “We were confident about the ads success as we knew that the idea was different and there were less chances of it backfiring.”
