ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 05

igher disposable incomes coupled with improved affordability & availability is

turning masses in to big consumers even in the rural areas. On a recent visit to the

hinterlands in the south, Nitin Paranjpe, CEO of Hindustan Unilever (HUL), was

surprised to spot a packet of Comfort fabric conditioner in a home in one of the hamlets. Fearing

that the consumer may have mistaken fabric conditioner for hair conditioner, the head of India's

largest consumer products company set out to make discreet enquiries. The lady of the household

assured HUL marketers that her purchase was no accident - she revealed that she loved the

fragrance and softness of fabric after rinsing it with the conditioner. Such consumer behavior

opened Hindustan Unilever's eyes to the kind of choices the countries' consumers are making.

Biocon founder, Dr. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw is well aware of the growth the country is witnessing.

She believes that development can still be on a faster track if proper attention is paid on nutritious

food, quality education affordable health care and sustainable employment.

S. Parthasarathy, an alumnus of IIT- Madras is living his role of a guiding star to the IT sector. He has pioneered in offering information

technology solution in form of a perfect fit for small and medium businesses, providing the entrepreneur better visibility in to the

business & helping him in making decisions to stay on top of his business.

N.R. Narayan Murthy, the famous son of a school teacher, built and led country's second largest software export company, Infosys for

33 years & earned it the pride of being the most respected company of the country, recently recalled his journey at Infosys which he

started with his six friends in 1983. His life story should be a confidence booster to every average person that he or she can make at least

a small difference in this world. Murthy, an M.Tech from IIT-Kanpur, with his $ 6 billion IT enterprise has given India strong wings.

Harish Hande, a pass out from IIT- Kharagpur is a renewable energy entrepreneur with extensive grassroots experience in meeting the

energy requirements of rural households. His experience includes a large number of health, education and water related projects; over

500 small rural and urban health clinics, over 1000 rural and semi-urban schools and over 1500 irrigation and drinking water systems.

There is no stopping for those who aspire high. A 17-year-old schoolboy from Noida has achieved a rare double, after being the

youngest Indian to scale Mount Everest; he has ascended its neighboring peak Mt Lhotse. Arjun Vajpayee, a class 12 student of Ryan

International school in Noida, reached atop the 8,516 metre Mt Lhotse, world's fourth highest peak on 21 May 2011.

Arjun became the youngest Indian to climb the world's highest summit, the 8,848 metre high Mt Everest, at the age of 16.

Remember, Progress is often equal to difference between mind and mindset.

ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 07

RK VermaM.D., Academic Head & Physics FacultyB.Tech., 1994 (IIT-Madras)

houghts that arise in us manifest themselves into actions. The quality of thought T

is ordered by the nature of our inner “belief” and “faith”. This faith is turned into a conviction, a bond forever which is

bound to see triumph in every endeavor of teacher and student of Resonance. The manifestation of this conviction is visible in the phenomenal results of our students in IIT-JEE 2011 & AIEEE 2011.

It happened after a long period of 25 years that residents of Kota hold the success flag with two ranks out of TOP-5 General Category Ranks in IIT-JEE. Shubham Mehta (AIR-02) & Nisheeth Lahoti (AIR-05), students of two-year classroom contact programme at Resonance, own this pride of success.

The year 2011 has been 'annus mirabilis' for Resonance as with 1813 quality selections in IIT-JEE 2011, we have achieved the BEST RANKS through classroom programmes from any coaching institute in West, East, North & Central India. Apart from 837 selections through Kota Study Centre, there have been a good number of selections from various Study Centres of Resonance. These include 837 selections from Kota Study Centre, 101 from Mumbai, 68 from Delhi, 59 from Jaipur, 41 from Nagpur, 40 from Bhopal, 40 from Lucknow, 05 from Kolkata, 02 from Udaipur & 01 from Bengaluru. All these students have been from Regular Classroom Contact Programmes. Of 1813 total selected students, 1194 are from the Yearlong Classroom Contact Programme and 619 are from Distance Learning Programme. Resonance holds 13.33% Selections out of Total Selections from India (1813 out of 13602) in IIT-JEE 2011. List of illustrious students enclose 17 All India Ranks in TOP-100, 13 Ranks (2, 5, 14, 23, 26, 31, 35, 36, 57, 66, 87, 90, 95) are from Yearlong Classroom Contact Programmes and 04 (11, 18, 24, 88) are from Distance Learning Programmes.

Started in 2006, Resonance's PCCP Division has churned out good results as four of our students in TOP-100: Mridul Garg (AIR-23), Mehul Goyal (AIR-26), Anmol Garg (AIR-66) & Astha Agarwal (AIR-90), have been students of regular classroom coaching at Resonance, since class VII. They began their preparation at PCCP Division.

The Ignited (I) Batch of Resonance has yielded results as expected and top merits have been achieved by students from this batch. The formation of the Ignited Batch has proved to be a fruitful concept. In this batch, 20 best performers are selected from different courses of class XI and are specially guided for top ranks.

Shubham Mehta and Nisheeth Lahoti have got selected in five-member team to represent India at the 42nd International Physics Olympiad (IPhO-2011) to be held from 10th to 18th July in Bangkok, Thailand. The five-member Indian team will compete in the Final Stage of IPhO 2011 where nationally selected teams from 83 countries are expected to participate.

Commendable selections of girl students registered 161 girl selections from Resonance (Classroom: 109 | Distance learning: 52) in IIT-JEE 2011, vis a vis 1491 total girl selections in IIT-JEE 2011. Astha Agarwal, a student of Yearlong Classroom Programmes at Jaipur Study Center acquired AIR 90. Astha has outshined in various other competitive exams which include a Silver Medal in International Junior Science Olympiad held in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2009, securing a place in the top 6 member

team in Asian Physics Olympiad and getting amongst 35 students in the third round in International Physics Olympiad in 2011.

The new step taken by Resonance in 2007 of forming separate batches for the students of Hindi Medium has stirred up stunning results with 278 selections (Classroom: 267 | Distance Learning: 11) in IIT-JEE 2011, with AIR 638 (GEN) achieved by Rajendra Singh.

As a mark of good corporate social responsibility, the sincerity and dedication of Resonance in the two-year classroom training of Jawahar Navodaya Vidalya, Bundi students for IIT-JEE for zero fee, has paid off and a total of 15 students out of 45 have got selected in IIT-JEE, 2011. Out of these students, Nirmal Gandhi has achieved the Highest Rank in general category with AIR 1077.

Resonance's success in IIT-JEE 2011 is followed by good results in AIEEE 2011. Out of the total 9283 selected students, 6488 students are from Classroom Contact Programme & 2795 students are from Distance Learning Programme and Resonance's students have secured 4 AIRs (10, 16, 39, 40) in TOP-40 Ranks. Divyam Bansal & Shubham Mehta scored All India Ranks 10 & 16 which are the best ranks in AIEEE 2011 from any institute in Kota. I firmly believe that AIEEE and AIPMT in coming years will provide a stronger base to Resonance. The selection of 6488 students from the classroom programmes in AIEEE 2011 will assure all IIT-JEE aspirants about their success in various competitive examinations also.

There has been an increase in MQMR (Cutoff marks) in IIT-JEE 2011 as compared to the previous year. The Minimum Qualifying Marks Required (MQMR) for General Category rose this year to 229 from last year's 190. The analysis of JEE question paper shows that the questions were not new to Resonance' students. Still, it is good to remember a few things like a students must implement time-management skills that they learn during the course of their training at Resonance, while solving the question paper. Besides this, they must work consistently at improving quantitative skills. The use of calculator inhibits calculation ability, and is a strict no-no for students.

The fresh arrival of aspirants is here with their utmost trust in the academic services at Resonance, and I welcome them whole-heartedly. Our 'VIJETA' course students, after completing one year, are heading towards their goal. The aspirants in the 'VISHWAAS' course are advised to learn from their predecessors who have achieved success with the relentless efforts in just one year. Those who have joined in 'VIKAAS' and 'VIPUL' in two year foundation course will need to best utilize their time to learn the concepts deeply and carry out continual practice. The number of successful girl students in IIT-JEE in the recent years has been on the increase. I feel very happy that among the successful girls to join IIT in 2011, every 9th girl is from Resonance. I would like to advise the repeater students of 'VIJAY' that they should feel assured of their capabilities and leave no stone unturned to benefit from the learning of the previous year.

I and my whole Resonance Team assure the students that we will remain firmly committed to help students meet their career goals and objectives.

Elementary test on English proficiency

t has been our experience that some

JEE entrants have such a severe

paucity in English, that their Iacademic performance suffers inordinately

in the first semester and this affects their

confidence detrimentally during their

subsequent academic career at the institute.

All JEE entrants to IIT Bombay in 2011,

therefore, undergo an elementary test on

English proficiency at the start of the

semester. Students who score less than 20%

in this test and who further have a total score

in Physics, Chemistry and Maths of less

than or equal to 150 are put in a semester

long intensive programme in English,

Physics, Chemistry, Maths immediately.

Students registering for the courses in this

Programme are evaluated only with Passed

/Not Passed (PP/NP) grades.

During the second semester, such students

will undergo those courses that they would

have registered for in the first semester, had

there been no intensive programme. They

would not be allowed to simultaneously

register for advanced courses in Physics,

Chemistry or Mathematics until they pass

these courses.

IIT-Bombay - a big draw

for JEE toppers

or students who made it to the

top in the IIT-Joint Entrance FExam, Computer Science seems

to be in vogue, and IIT-Bombay is their first

choice. Shubham Mehta, who stood second

in the exam, has decided to opt for

Computer Science in IIT, Bombay. “The

corporate exposure, besides a wide array of

opportunities in the financial capital of the

country, will give us lot of advantages,” said

an elated Shubham.

There are many like him who are giving a

m i s s t o e s t a b l i s h e d c e n t r e s l i k e

IIT- Kharagpur, Kanpur and Delhi. Figures

also suggest that over the years the

placements of IIT-B have surpassed other

campuses.

“IIT-Bombay offers the most successful

incubation centre for entrepreneurship,”

added Shubham Mehta.

Figures suggest that in 2010, 69 students in

top 100 of IIT-JEE went to Mumbai for

engineering. In 2009, 62 students in top 100

went to IIT-B.

The trends also suggest that students who

have been selected in competitions like

NTSE, and Physics, Maths and Chemistry

Olympiads have performed better in IITs.

Top rankers like Shubham Mehta (AIR-02),

Nisheeth Lahoti (AIR 05), Tanmya Vittal

(AIR-10), and Astha Agarwal (AIR 90) had

won many competitions at national &

international level.

For example, Shubham Mehta and Nisheeth

Lahoti are representing India in 42nd

International Physics Olympiad scheduled

for July 2011 at Bangkok. Astha Agarwal

had won many competitions in Class X, XI

and XII and has proven herself well at

International Junior Science Olympiads and

(IJSO) & Asian Physics Olympiads in 2009.

The latest trend, which may create a debate,

is that students start preparing for IITs while

in Class VIII and IX. Data says success rate of

such students who started preparing before

Class X doubles. No doubt, Shubham Mehta

made a good decision to join the coaching

classes when he was in Class VIII.

Nano fabrication at IIT

W i th i t s centre for nano

fabrication, IIT Delhi is focusing

on developing new nano-devices

that are beneficial to the society.

n a n o t e c h n o l o g y , t h e Tgovernment had started setting

up nano-science units in the country. IIT-

Delhi is one such centre where a nano

science unit was started around five years

ago.

VR Mehta, professor of Physics at IIT

Delhi, says, “The implications of nano

nano-science unit was started in our

institute. Now we have recently started a

nanofabrication centre around six months

back to foster and expand all aspects of

nanotechnology, which have the potential

to benefit the country. At the nano-

fabrication centre, we will be looking at

four to five areas of technology such as

fuel cells, nano-sensors, biological sensors

etc. Our effort is to make all this possible at

a low cost so that it is beneficial to all. ”

Nanoscience & technology is a minor area,

which any student, irrespective of the

degree one is pursuing at IIT, can choose

as a special subject. Since nanotechnology

is primarily a combination of Physics,

Chemistry, Biology, it is not taught as a

specific course.

A student, therefore, can opt for

Nanoscience & Technology along with a

degree course and complete this special

subject in a period of four years.

Nanoscience & Technology requires nine

courses, which a student needs to study

and clear. However, the degree awarded

to students will mention that one has

cleared this minor area. There is no added

fee for this.

INDIAN biotechnology has a

P o s t e r G i r l , i t i s

Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, a voluble

58-year-old who o w n s B i o c o n , t h e

country's biggest biotechnology company.

'India's Fermentation Queen' or 'One of the

most prominent faces of Bangalore and

India' are the other prominent titles that

conferences and magazine covers have

proclaimed for months and for years.

'India's fourth-richest woman with a net

worth of $900 million!'- that's how Forbes

magazine described Kiran Mazumdar Shaw

in its September edition of 2010.

Biocon, founded by Dr Kiran Mazumdar

Shaw, boasts of world-class research

outsourcing capabilities, US FDA-

compliant bio-manufacturing facilities and

a self-financed R&D pipeline. Employing

more than 5300 people, it is regarded as the

seventh largest employer among the top 100

global biotechnology companies. Having

many firsts to its credit, the company has

created a strong presence in the global

market - Europe and Gulf Cooperation

Council (GCC) in western Asia through

subsidiaries AxiCorp, Germany and

NeoBiocon in Abu Dhabi respectively. It

has also set up offices in Brazil, Abu Dhabi

and Malaysia.

A Tale of great Turnaround

Unlike many high-tech entrepreneurs,

who plunge into business with little more

than a doctorate and a dream, Kiran

Mazumdar Shaw had been plugging away

for two decades with a master's degree in

brewing. After graduating from Bangalore

University with a zoology degree, she told

her father that she wanted to pursue a

career in applied sciences but he suggested

making beer. I said, "My God, why I would

want to do brewing?” He said, "Don't look

down on brewing. Look at it as a science.”

She moved to Australia in 1974 and enrolled

in what is now the University of Ballarat,

outside Melbourne, to study malting and

brewing. She graduated in 1975 as the top

student and became India's first female

brew-master.

“Going to Austral ia was quite a

transformational phase of my life. I'd led a

very protected and charmed life in India,

and suddenly I had to fend for myself," she

said.

When she returned home, breweries

wouldn't hire her because they feared she

could not handle the odd shifts and male-

dominated workers' unions. She soon found

that opportunities for brew mistresses in

India were few, but that the uses of

fermentation are many. Passing up a chance

to brew beer in Britain, she formed a joint

venture in 1978 with an Irish company

called Biocon to manufacture enzymes for

packaged fruit juices.

Kiran Mazumdar Shaw

“Success is about pursuing a vision with a sense of purpose and a spirit of challenge. There are no short cuts to success and there is no substitute for hard work. I also believe success is about doing things in a differentiated way - dare to be different so that you stand out. Biocon's byline is 'The difference lies in our DNA' and we all believe in it. We don't imitate other companies but have charted our own business destiny.”

Changes to lead by and live by

Deep engagement with her environment is

Zen for her. The city she lives in, industry

for which she is the forerunner, company

she has built and then reinvented she is

hands-on everywhere . Dr Ki ran

Mazumdar Shaw, CMD of Biocon, is raring

to go some more distance to be the change

she wants to see.

Strategic transformation

In the last 10 years, she led the

transformation of Biocon from an enzyme

maker to a bio pharmaceutical company

from the front. “The strategy to pursue this

transform ation path has been that of a

c l e a r - c u t differentiation

at every level. For Biocon, this

She incorporated Biocon India on

November 29, 1978, in her garage in

Bangalore with a capital of ̀ 10,000 and used

a rented, 3,000-square-foot shed nearby as

her factory. Her first employee was a car

mechanic. “It was like a kitchen-sink

operation,” she said. “I had a real problem

getting people to work for me because I was

a woman.”

The next year, Biocon started exporting

enzymes to the U.S. and Europe, according

to its website. Mazumdar-Shaw then

realized that the same processes that make

enzymes for beer - growing microbes in

large vats under precise temperatures and

pressures - could be applied to making

medicines. Insulin, a hormone, can be made

synthetically in a similar process.

“I could actually leverage all that I had done

for enzymes and start applying it to

biopharmaceuticals,” she said.

Mazumdar-Shaw saw an opportunity in

India after learning that most insulin there

was made by foreign companies. “That all

sort-of rung a lot of alarm bells in my mind."

I said, "Hey, this is the space I should be in.

And the rest is history!"

Today the brewing enzyme business

Mazumdar Shaw started has grown into

Biocon, India's largest biotech company and

Asia's biggest producer of insulin. Biocon is

poised to ramp up competition in the $14

billion global insulin market, which is

d o m i n a t e d b y N o v o N o r d i s k ,

Sanofi-Aventis, and Eli Lilly. Demand for

insulin is expected to increase 20 percent a

year through 2015 as the number of

diabetics tops 285 million globally,

according to market researcher

RNCOS.

“In India's biggest drug supply deal so

far, Biocon and Pfizer (PFE) in October

agreed that the Bangalore-based

company will produce insulin for the

U.S. drug giant, which abandoned that

business more than three years ago after

taking a $2.8 billion charge on its Exubera

inhalable insulin. Biocon will supply four

generic insulin products to be sold initially

in emerging markets, including India and

Brazil.”

strategy translated into technology

becoming the first differentiator. Then

followed the development of technology

platform to build this business, which at a

broad level was fermentation. The company

chose microbial fermentation, pichia

fermentation and cell culture as platform

differentiators. “When one follows a

technology-driven strategy, it is important

to identify and plug the gaps. When we

realized that biomanufacturing is going to

be an all-pervasive strategy for us, we

decided to add mammalian cell culture.

And that's where partnership with Cuba's

Center for Molecular Immunology came

in,” she says.

Next on line was the product strategy.

Biocon went though painstaking details

again to zero down on the products to build

and develop from API to statins to finished

products to the disease area leading it to

diabetes, which today still is the single

largest unmet medical need in India. “We

went on to combine our insulin strategy

with the pichia fermentation platform,”

she adds. The Cuban opportunity also

allowed Biocon to focus on the autoimmune

diseases. For Dr Mazumdar Shaw, all these

developments came together to formulate

into an important mission - the mission of

delivering affordable innovation. And that

essentially sums up what Biocon is onto, and

is a driving factor in every decision that is

Tending Philanthropy

In 2004, Dr. Majumdar Shaw started the Biocon Foundation to conduct health,

education, sanitation, and environment programs for the benefit of the economically

weaker sections of society. The Foundation's micro-health insurance program has an

enrolment of 70,000 rural members.

Its 7 ARY clinics are located where healthcare facilities are poor and offer clinical care,

generic medicines and basic tests for those who cannot afford them. Each of the clinics

serves a population of 50,000 people living within a radius of 10 km. All the clinics

organize regular general health checks in remote villages by bringing in physicians and

doctors from network hospitals. Each year, the Foundation touches more than 300,000

lives through its holistic healthcare approach. The Foundation also provides mobile

medical services, and conducts preventive health education programmes and free

health-care camps. She helped establish a 1,400-bed cancer care center at the Narayana

Health City campus at Boommasandra, Bangalore, along with Dr. Devi Shetty of

Narayana Hrudayalaya in 2007. Called the Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Centre (MSCC), it

is one of the largest cancer hospitals of its kind, spread as it is over an area of five lakh

square feet. It specializes in head and neck cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer.

taken in the company.

Change is her inspiration

She is an inspirational figure for millions of

young Indians who want to emulate her as

one of the most well known entrepreneurs

of the country. But who inspires her?

“I am inspired by a large number of people

who have brought about change despite

obstacles, and have done amazing things

irrespective of how big and small these are.

N R Narayana Murthy (Infosys), who has

created the burgeoning Indian software

industry, Dr Devi Shetty (Narayana

Hrudayalaya), who has created the

affordable hospital model, Dr Bala Manian

(ReaMetrix), well into sixties, came back

from the US to set up a very innovative

company in India, Dr P Babu who helped me

build Biocon, Dr R A Mashelkar (former DG

of CSIR) who has been instrumental in

creating the patent regime in India. I take

inspiration from all quarters. In terms of

personality type, daring risk-takers who

bring about a change inspire me most,”

Dr Mazumdar-Shaw says candidly.

Challenges on the horizon

Dr Mazumdar Shaw is the first one to

acknowledge that the challenges are many.

Getting to understand innovation and drug

development is a challenge, and then taking

some of Biocon's products global. Managing

the scaling-up is a challenge and keeping

the momentum going is itself a challenge.

Attracting good people and keeping them as

engaged and passionate as she is, is a

challenge.

The proverbial “next level” challenge of

scale

Biocon has arrived at a stage where it is

counted among the Top 20 pure biotech

companies in the world, in terms of size,

product portfolio and employees. With a

vision of putting a Biocon product in every

market, globally, she has already moved to

tackle it with a future ready business model.

The recent Pfizer-Biocon deal is a step in this

direction. So is the $160 million investment

to set up manufacturing and research

facilities in Malaysia. Integrating the islands

of excellence that demonstrate efficiency,

competence, reliability into a system that

allows scale-up, and consequently gives

the competitive edge in the global multi-

location market place, is something she

believes will be easier to execute along with

a partner like Pfizer, which has world class

systems in place. So, while the deal is a

marketing deal, the learnings from Pfizer

will have a far-reaching positive impact on

Biocon.

Ten years ago, when Biocon rebranded

itself as a biotechnology company, there

were many skeptics. Now, 10 years later,

there is grudging admiration for the

tenacity displayed by Biocon under her

leadership. For, despite ups and down,

Biocon stuck to the vision outlined by her;

delivered a number of products in diabetes

and oncology sector, became a leader in the

chosen field, built up an integrated

platform with manufacturing, research

and services, and of course, setting the

stage for other companies to follow with a

blockbuster IPO in 2005. What has

happened in the last decade is just the

beginning. The best days of Biocon will

come in the next decade, when its insulin

products and a few more, will be available

in markets around the world.

Today, the biotechnology sector is no more

been hovering over the fringes of the

Indian industry. It has been shoved to the

forefront swiftly.

It rains awards on her

Innumerable awards and recognitions

have been bestowed upon her on National

and Inter-nation level including a Padma

Bhushan in 2005 and a Padma Shri 1989.

She also received an honorary Doctorate of

Science in 2004, from her alma mater,

Ballarat University, in recognition of her

contributions to biotechnology, apart

from being awarded honorary doctorates

from University of Abertay, Dundee, UK

(2007), University of Glasgow, UK (2008)

and Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh,

UK (2008).

The award she values the most is the one

named after the great engineer and

visionary Sir M Vishweshwariah, the MV

Memorial Award.

Be a Pioneer!

Dr. Srinivasan Parthasarathy

"When you are an entrepreneur, you do not have a

boss, which can be a problem, as there is no one to

stretch you. K. B. Chandrasekhar, founder of

Exodus Communication, who was an early

investor in Aztec soft, played the role of a boss. He

would constantly challenge me. When we were

doing a business of $50,000 a month, he told me

why not $1 million. I worked like a mad man and

made $ 1 million a month. I think this is the role an

angel investor should play. He should be able to

push the entrepreneur to do even better than he

thinks he can. Now, I try to do this as an investor. "

s an entrepreneur,

S r i n i v a s a n AParthasarathy knew

that he did not want to be a

me-too, but a pioneer in

computer servicing. In

1980s, when the IT industry

was taking its baby breaths

& yawns and personal

computers were jus t

debuting in the Indian

market, serial entrepreneur

and angel investor S

Parthasarathy founded

C o m p u t e r G a r a g e , a

c o m p u t e r s e r v i c e s

company and made it a

national brand.

In 1995, he co-founded Aztec Software, which went on to become

a reputed outsourced product development (OPD) company,

and was acquired by IT services major Mindtree in 2008. Today,

Parthasarathy is an angel investor and is a member of the Indian

Angel Network (IAN). He is also chairman and CEO of Nu

Street Technologies, a cloudware applications start-up

Computer Pioneer.

He passed out of IIT-Madras during the days when

manufacturing was king in India, and joined Tata Motors'

shop floor and hated it. He wanted to do something he

enjoyed.

After doing MBA from IIM-Ahmedabad, he could have

joined any top company, but really liked this new IT start-up

called Wipro. “I was sold out on the dream they painted and

worked with them for five years. I saw the company grow

rapidly and thought to myself: "If they can do it, so can I."

Hence, he set up a third-party computer maintenance

company in the late 80's and became pioneer in this segment.

“Personal computers were just making their appearance

and we soon became synonymous with computer servicing.

If someone wanted computer maintenance, they came to

us.”

Winning Globally

Soon he realised that the international market was where

real business was and software was going to be the business

of the future. He exited

Computer Garage and

used the money to co-

found Aztec Software.

The plan was to build a

cutting-edge product

company. “After two

years of working on this

idea and trying to raise

m o n e y t o f u n d t h e

company, we realized we

did not know how to

make this idea into a

successful business. So we

took stock and used our

expertise to turn Aztec

soft into an OPD venture.

We were realistic and

willing to change our idea. We wanted to win on a global scale. We

did phenomenally well and we were the leaders in our segment

worldwide. "If someone wanted to outsource their product

development, they came to us. As an entrepreneur I knew I did not

want to be a me-too."

retirement age of the chairman from 65

to 70, it will not apply to any of the

founders; Murthy says that would be

putting the individual above the institution.

He will, however, continue to be associated

with Infosys as chairman emeritus. The IT

czar, known for quick and fast decisions,

wants a bigger canvas to paint on.

On April 30, Infosys announced Murthy's

successor, K.V. Kamath, currently an

independent director on Infosys's board and

the man credited with having moulded

India's largest private sector bank - ICICI

Bank - into a financial powerhouse. Kamath

will be the first non-founder at Infosys to

hold this position.

Co-founder, CEO and Managing Director

S. Gopalakrishan (Kris) will become co-

chairman; and co-founder and COO S.D.

Shibulal, will take over from Kris.

The journey at Infosys

Terming the Infosys journey as an integral

part of his life, Murthy said that most of his

colleagues tell him that "Infosys is an

inseparable part of me and I am an

inseparable part of Infosys." “I worked

Saturdays, Sundays, every day 16 hours;

just Infosys. When I was away from home

for as many as 330 days in a year, it was hard

for my children to believe in my

commitment to the family.” "I have been the

Number One actor in every major decision

taken in the company. I have rejoiced in

every significant milestone of the company.

I have commiserated in every false step that

this company has taken," he asserted.

Both will step down from executive roles

when they turn 60 in a few years, making

way for a new generation of leaders.

Mr. Narayana Murthy is undoubtedly one

of the most famous persons from

Karnataka. He is known not just for

building the biggest IT Empire in India but

also for his simplicity. He was born on

August 20, 1946 in Karnataka, India. He

obtained his Bachelor of Electrical

the single biggest achievement of Infosys

is that it has been a beacon of hope for

The challenges ahead

What's behind

the leadership changes at Infosys?

When you are in business for a long time,

you go through good times and bad times.

When you go through bad times, you learn

to control costs, satisfy customers better,

satisfy employees better and become more

transparent. Therefore, you build character

in the company. If longevity is the best

index to measure a company, a basic

requirement is the ability of the

corporation to generate new and new

leaders. That's the synopsis that we at

Infosys follow in creating business, in

absorbing global best practices at Infosys. It

does not matter who the leader is or when

he or she leaves the company. There will be

need to change constantly and is best connects on the one hand, and world-KV Kamath suited to take on the new challenge. class board governance on the other hand,

Kamath knows that organisations customer, employee and investor

always a set of new leaders who will

embrace the values, take on the strategy of

the company and hopefully improve upon

it.

Of India's big three IT firms, Infosys is the

only genuinely entrepreneurial start-up.

The biggest, Tata Consultancy Services, is a

subsidiary of India's largest conglomerate.

Wipro is a second-generation firm that

moved on from hardware. Mr Murthy

founded Infosys with six friends. He recalls

a long meeting in the bedroom of his

apartment in Mumbai, where they

One, we have to become more multicultural.

Second, we have to raise our brand to such a

level that the CIO of a Fortune 500

corporation must be anxious to get a bid

from Infosys for a billion-dollar project.

Third, we have to retain our margins while

growing at a healthy pace. Fourth, the talent

situation in India is becoming graver and

graver. Therefore, all of us - the industry, the

government and the company- have to work

together to correct this. McKinsey has said

that there is a US $300 billion opportunity

that we can get to as an industry [IT] by 2020

or so. But [we can achieve this] only if we

handle this problem; otherwise we will miss

out. These [challenges] are for both Infosys

and the entire [Indian IT] industry.

His advice to young people in India

who want to become entrepreneurs

Any opportunity that will allow me to speak

to youngsters about how they can make this

a better country, a country that the whole

world can be proud of, how they can make

sure that the poorest child has access to the

basic needs- that's what I would be very

happy doing. They have to follow what was

so well conveyed by Shahrukh Khan [Hindi

film actor] and his team of hockey players in

[the Hindi film] Chak De India- about

meritocracy, discipline, teamwork,

subordinating one's ego in favor of the

community or the team. I think if our

youngsters did all of that, we would be a

wonderful country.

hammered out a kind of mission

statement. This was not, he says, to

be the best, the biggest or the most

profitable, but to “earn the respect of all our

stakeholders”. Do the right thing and do the

job well, says Mr Murthy, and the rest

would follow.

Navin Kumar

hare with us something about

your family background: I come Sfrom a middle class family. My

father is a businessman, and mother is a

home-maker. My parents always wanted

me to achieve something great. I feel proud

that I fulfilled their dreams.

Whom you wish to give credit of your success?

When you take a big leap of success, it is not

only you who made this possible. There are

many people, named and unnamed, who

have contributed to the success. I would like

to give credit to my Mother and Father, who

did everything for my study, and never let

me sense or feel that a problem exists. Apart

from that, the credit goes to Resonance, for

being such an amazing place to prepare for

IIT-JEE; to the faculty at Resonance, without

whose brilliant teaching methodology and

enthusiastic motivation, it would have

never been possible. Last, but not the least,

the credit goes to God, who helped me with

my luck to get into IIT.

What is required to get into IIT?

You need to believe in yourself to get into

such a big place. The day I joined Resonance,

I started believing that I would be one of

those, getting felicitated at Victory 2009, the

felicitation function. Regular study, focus

towards goal, utmost dedication, honesty to

oneself , confidence (but not over

confidence), are some of the things I think

are really required to get into IITs. Besides

these, a proper guidance, and strong

emotional support are important to crack

such a big dream.

What changes did you find in you after joining

Resonance?

I experienced competition for the first time

in my life when I joined Resonance. This was

sometimes frustrating, but most of the

times challenging and inspiring to me

during the preparation of JEE. Apart from

that, I learnt time-management, and to

believe in myself. Resonance made me

tough and sincere, which I feel are the keys

to unlock success in life.

Who is your favorite teacher at Resonance?

Well, to account for my views about

teachers at Resonance, I admire all who

have taught me, as all possess some unique

qualities. But if you ask who was my

favorite, my answer would definitely be

AGL Sir.

Your words about RKV SIR: During my days

at Resonance, I used to remain scared of

RKV Sir. I think his toughness made him

one of the best teachers in Resonance. His

way of teaching, which often comprised

some reading assignments from text books,

is what I think, has helped me a lot and

helps me even today. You feel good when

you solve the problems of sheets & DPPs.

But to read the book was something I, and

most of my friends, found very boring. But

when you come to IITs, you understand

why such things are important. Apart from

these, the time-to-time motivation given by

RKV Sir was just awesome. I also admire

him for his wonderful singing, and miss

those days when Sir used to fill me with

enthusiasm with his wonderful songs,

among which the dearest was 'Ruk Jaana

Nahi.'

Give some tips to increase efficiency while

studying.

Paying attention to words of faculty

members in classroom completes half of

the studies. Writing during studying

something adds to completeness and

efficiency of learning, rather than just

reading the text. I also believe that regular

studies pay you more than the end - time

studies.

Did 'ANUNAAD' at any stage help you

motivate for the sustained efforts for IIT-JEE?

I was very fond of Anunaad. As soon as the

latest issue was released, I grabbed one and

tried to solve the problems in “Think to win”

page, without wasting time, for which I got

prizes three times in a row. It was very

inspiring. Other than that, there was news

about IITs. Now what happens when you

prepare for JEE, each article, big or small,

about IITs invokes you to get into the big

place, at least this happened in my case. The

success stories of the alumnus of Resonance

(Reso Reaper) also motivated in preparation

of JEE.

Any memorable event/incident at Resonance

that you wish to share with us: The days of my

JEE preparation at Resonance are very dear

to me, for each day had something

memorable related to it. I would like to share

two among them. It was orientation class of

Resonance, held at IL Auditorium. The

moment I entered the auditorium, there was

song playing Lakshya. I was listening to that

song for the first time, and that eventually

filled me with enthusiasm and motivation.

The six hours long orientation lecture

passed without a break, from which a

sentence by RKV Sir remained embedded in

my mind throughout my two years of

preparation at Kota. It was, “Today is your

first lecture, here at IL auditorium. I would

like to meet you after two years, here.”

Accomplishment: I have been associated in

the management and organizing team of the

cultural and technical festivals of the

college. Also, I am currently involved in the

designing of Formula-1 car, which will be

competing in the FSAE racing, which is an

international student's formula car design

competition, to be held in Germany in 2012.

Your message for Resonance students: Study

regularly; keep in touch with the chapters

covered way back; enjoy a little, for this

relaxes you and boosts your preparation;

and accomplish your dream of getting

selected in IITs. There are infinite numbers

of people who are there, wishing you

success, whose happiness would be on

seventh sky when they would see you

cracking the big exam.

stha Agarwal, a student of

Two-Yearlong Classroom Contact Programme (YCCP) at Jaipur Study Centre acquired AIR 90 (GEN). Here is a summary of a brief interaction with her.

s A

I am overjoyed with my rank in IIT-JEE 2011 and

would like to give the credit of my success to my

family and Resonance. I joined Resonance in class X

and started preparing for various competitive exams.

The yearlong classroom contact programme trained me

for IIT-JEE 2011.

This programme is simply the best. The environment at

Resonance is friendly and supportive. The sincere efforts

of my mentors helped me in achieving my goal. My

decision to join Resonance turned out to be a boon for me.

No doubt, the nicely planned study material was also

equally important. The PTs and CTs further cleared

many misconceptions and helped me identify my strong

and weak topics. The level & pattern of these tests were

like the actual IIT-JEE paper.

The guidance & motivation here helped me qualify for

the prestigious Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana

(KVPY) fellowship besides a silver medal at

International Junior Science Olympiad, 2009 at Baku,

Azerbaijan and an 'Honorable Mention' in Asian Physics

Olympiad, 2010 at Israel. I could also manage my School

studies and got 93.8% in boards along with 98% in PCM.

I would like to make it very clear that no other institute

has contributed to my success. I am grateful to all my

teachers at Resonance for their support. I strongly

recommend my juniors to join Resonance and do well in

all the exams they take up.

GROWTHSELECTIONS OF GIRL STUDENTS IN IIT-JEE

Page 24: July - August - September

I have done B.Tech. in Civil Engineering and posted as

Block department officer, Taleda, Kota. My early

childhood was spent at Bareily Uttar Pradesh. My

Father was a Junior Engineer in Production department of

Synthetic And Chemicals Limited at Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh

and my mother was a home maker. My sister is a lecturer in

Maharani College and elder daughter, Dr. Pooja Mehta is a

Radio diagnost at PGIMER. My younger daughter is doing

Civil Engineering at NIT, Raipur.

IITs are known to produce successful leaders in every

chosen field, and are good options to start with career in

engineering fields. They help the students to globalize their

potential, elevate their personality and transform into a

hard working, committed treasure. They also give scope to

be recognized as one of the topmost performers. Be it a

small venture or Research and development organization

with an IITian behind it, is proved to be a huge success in

terms of the results produced in a very less time.

Resonance is one of the good coaching classes for IIT-JEE

preparation. The highly competitive environment,

guidance from expert faculty members ensures dedication

and encourages the students work hard. Our first

interaction with Resonance was through a camp 'Akhil

Bhartiya Pratibha Utthan Abhiyan (ABPUA),' which was

organized at Modi Dental College, Kota by Resonance in the

month of April 2009. Shubham, my son, was one of the

participants in this camp at the end of which he decided to

join Resonance for IIT-JEE preparation.

Shubham is blessed with a tremendous ability to memorize.

After joining Resonance, the studious and competitive

environment that was provided at the institute transformed

him into a winner. It gave him an opportunity to compete with

brilliant minds. Joining here, he learnt the art of time

management & smart work. My son was not so brilliant before

joining Resonance. His results fructified with extensive

consistent efforts and excellent mentorship at every step. I

was sure my son will be in the top 10. The day my son got 2nd

rank in IIT-JEE 2011, I was very happy with his achievements.

I felt that he got famous overnight. Resonance felicitation

function (VICTORY 2011) is the most memorable day for me

and my son. It brought such a great sense of happiness & pride

to receive such an elite treatment and to watch him being

felicitated among thousands of parents, students &

distinguished guests.

He wants to get admission in IIT-Bombay. Further, he aspires

to pursue post-graduation studies from the Massachusetts

Institute of Technology. He is one among the selected five-

member team to represent India at the 42nd International

Physics Olympiad (IPhO-2011) to be held from 10th to 18th

July in Bangkok, Thailand. The IPhO is a unique event

designed to discover, to encourage and challenge

exceptionally gifted young students in Physics from all over

the world.

We came to know about Resonance through

advertisements in News papers and

hoardings in Kota City as well as from

parents of other students.

As usual we were exposed to many choices regarding

coaching institutes for IIT-JEE. Resonance's Admission

Brochure that lists success figures through various

graphs along with the detailed information impressed us

and put Resonance in a positive frame of sincerity and

trustworthiness.

Our initial interactions with RKV Sir convinced us of the

utmost dedication and strength of the entire system at

Resonance and we believed that the student success is the

sole priority here.

The academic and overall environment at Resonance is

truly qualitative. Teachers are quite knowledgeable and

are immensely supportive. They gave challenging

problems to our son Nisheeth which kept him motivated

to keep of working hard in the pursuit of his goals. By the

grace of God, our son has got brains and he utilizes it well

to learn various subjects.

I hail from rural area from village Kuraj, district

Rajsamand in Rajasthan. My father is a retired teacher

and mother is a homemaker.

My wife, Seema Maheshwari comes from Udaipur,

Rajasthan. Her father has retired from State Legal

Services. Both of us are Science graduates and

government employees. My wife pursued further

studies and earned a graduation degree in Law. She is

working in Rajasthan Legal Services and I am

Superintendent of Customs & Central Excise.

Our family is a small one and Nisheeth is our only child.

IITs are India's best institutes for technological studies.

These are institutes of repute and have good infrastructure

and facilities. The chosen brilliant minds go for

engineering studies in these institutes.

During the course of the entire journey of this crucial

preparation, we had our share of good and bad incidents

and we took all those in our stride and kept positive

attitude. But the Felicitation Ceremony (VICTORY) is

permanently etched in our hearts. It was gloriously

wonderful to see each and every students being felicitated

with honour and respect. It truly takes highly demanding

and painful hard work and lot of perseverance to touch

that threshold of victory.

As for Nisheeth, these accomplishments viz. NTSE, KVPY,

5th rank in JEE are quite a good number of achievements

for us. But there are bigger achievements along the way

ahead that would sum up the definition of bright,

rewarding and wholesome life with a great sense of well

being.

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MADRAS (IIT-M) CHENNAI, TAMILNADU

Reso-Students (58) who opted the

following branches at IIT-M in 2010

Please tell us something about your early

childhood and family background.

I am a resident of Kota and did schooling

from St. Paul's School. We are a big family,

blessed with four elder sisters, all studied at

Sophia. I have a 2 years old son Priyansh, an

ardent fan of Dhoni! My father worked at JK

Synthetics till 1998 when it closed down and

thereafter he moved to UP to engage himself

in business till 2004 when he returned back

to Kota. This was a difficult time for our

family, but in 1999 I graduated from my

school and got selected in IIT-JEE which was

a much needed heal to us. Then I moved to

U.S. and studied for three years at Purdue

University, since then I have been with

Resonance.

What inspired you for Indian Institutes of

Technology (IITs)?

While I was studying in 7th std., five to six

students from St. Paul's got selected in JEE. It

was a pride moment for a school to have 6

IITians. A function was organized and our

school Father felicitated the students in front

of us. This made a long lasting impression

on me about the prestige of IIT and I decided

to be an IITian to earn the same felicitation

from our school Father. This childhood

thought laid the foundation of my goal as a

IIT-MADRASIIT-MADRASIIT-MADRAS

ndian Institute of Technology

Madras, is one among the foremost

institutes of national importance in Ihigher technological education, basic and

applied research. In 1956, the German

Government offered technical assistance for

establishing an institute of higher education

in engineering in India. The first Indo-

German agreement in Bonn, West Germany

for the establishment of the Indian Institute

of Technology at Madras was signed in 1959.

The Institute was formally inaugurated in

1959 by Prof. Humayun Kabir, Union

Minister for Scientific Research and Cultural

Affairs. The IIT system has seven Institutes

of Technology located at Kharagpur (estb.

1951), Mumbai (estb. 1958), Chennai (estb.

1959), Kanpur (estb. 1959), Delhi (estb.

1961), Guwahati (estb. 1994) and Roorkee

(estb. 1847, joined IITs in 2001).

IIT Madras is a residential institute with

nearly 460 faculty, 4500 students and 1250

administrative & supporting staff and is a

self-contained campus located in a beautiful

wooded land of about 250 hectares. It has

established itself as a premier centre for

teaching, research and industr ia l

consultancy in the country.

The Institute has fifteen academic

departments and a few advanced research

centres in various disciplines of engineering

and pure sciences, with nearly 100

laboratories organised in a unique pattern of

functioning. A faculty of international

The top five successful tips I would like to give to students for their entire journey of IIT-JEE preparation at Resonance

• Attend all classes very regularly and attentively.

• Completion of work in time is a must.

• Be disciplined in your schedule; always give some time

at home to study whatever was taught on that day.

Reserve some time for revision daily and don't take

revision for granted.

• Adopt healthy habits, eat good food, have regular and

proper sleep of seven hours.

• Whenever you feel dejected and de-motivated or in low

spirits, think of the happiness that you can earn for your

family with a great result. Parents are students' best

motivation source and they should keep their

photograph right in front of them, this will always help

you to be on your toes and will deviate you from wrong

path.

ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 33

student.

What qualities one must possess to get into

IITs?

I have always believed that the foremost

quality is hardwork and commitment

towards studies. One has to be very firm

towards daily schedule, and it is regularity

that drives success. Secondly, discipline in

day-to-day activities helps in maintaining

efficiency. To execute all the above, follow

what the academic mentors (teachers) guide

you.

Please share your experiences at IIT

Madras and throw some light on your best

moments pertaining to studies there.

There were two-three best instances at

IIT Madras which I remember always.

The first one was when I gave my first

public presentation ever. It was on

Bhagvad Gita, a tough topic to

prepare, but I prepared it very hard

and delivered it to perfection and it

won me second award in my batch. I

was delighted with it as firstly I had

never spoken in public and secondly it

was in English.

The second instance was when I was

the only candidate selected for

summer internship program for

Unilever from among approximately

150 odd students after interview and

group discussion. Lastly, towards the

end of the degree, our HOD Chemical

Engineering Department appreciated

my sincerity for my summer training and

also for my B.Tech Project. These are some

moments with fond remembrances.

How is the academic and overall

environment at IIT Madras different from

other IITs?

Well, each IIT has its unique culture and so

does IIT-M. IIT-Kanpur and IIT-Madras are

known more for their academics. IIT Madras

students are more inclined towards

pursuing higher studies abroad. IIT-M folks

have more exposure with the international

students. Due to language barriers, English

has become the most accepted mode of

communication, but perhaps not the case

with most of IITs. I remember vividly, it

was my second day at IIT-M and I was

taken to surprise when the cycle mechanic

at IIT-M spoke in English! However

Madras is not all that happening city as

Delhi or Mumbai. The campus is very

green and one can find deer roaming like

cats and dogs, thanks to the proximity of

Guindy National Park.

How has your teaching experience been

with the students preparing for IIT-JEE at

Resonance?

I have always loved to work at Resonance.

Here, the entire team is very student-

welfare oriented and we feel extremely

good and motivated to keep working to

give better education to thousands of kids

who have entrusted us this responsibility. I

have taught all kind of students from

various states and it's always good to be

among such a rich cultural mix.

What made you enter the field of

teaching? What is the responsibility of a

teacher according to you?

When I was in US, I learnt that parents can

never be issued permanent visa, this

prompted me to come back to India. This

gave me an opportunity to pursue a career

of my choice - teaching. Since I have been a

student of RK sir, Resonance was the

natural choice.

Regarding responsibilities of a teacher,

“No amount of tricks works unless you do”.

“Many a times silence is unheard in this noisy world”.

“Those who don't work hard and yet getting good results are just harnessing their reserves”.

there are many. But teaching at Kota calls for

an added responsibility as many students

are out- stationed, and a teacher is their

social as well as academic mentor. A

teacher's prime duty is to impart quality

education with discipline. A student learns

not just domain knowledge from his teacher

but also closely observes teacher's day to

day schedule and gets greatly inspired from

his attitude and commitment towards work.

Your motto of life/ideologies /values, you

live with

I strongly believe in honesty and

transparency in dealings. I hate hypocrites

and love hard working people. One should

be honest and committed to

whatever one does and try to

deliver one's 100%. Never try to

evade hard work and find short

cuts.

Anything else that you feel worth

sharing with all students

Everybody knows that not all

students can get selected in JEE or

NIT's, neither your selection in

these exams is the end of the life.

Life is larger than what typically at

this age we think. One's duty is at

whichever phase of life we are at,

we should work wi th fu l l

commitment and honesty towards

it. Result is dependent on various factors

like your ability, hard work and luck.

We should always aim at working in such a

manner that our family and we are always

contented that we have placed our best

possible efforts. I wish you all good luck in

your preparation for competitive exams and

hope to deliver our best in your success.

ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 34

T e c h n o l o g y a n d d e v e l o p m e n t : A growing number of initiatives are promoting bottom-up ways to deliver energy to poor

onsidering the poor as

consumers often result in

unsustainable products and Cservices that focus on creating 'wants and

desires' among the poor and then fulfilling

them. A more sustainable approach is to

understand their basic needs and then

address those needs by creating suitable

products and services. This requires a deep

understanding of the context in which the

poor lead their lives and identifying the key

enablers that would make them realize their

potential and improve their income.

Harish Hande, managing director of SELCO

Solar, a social enterprise in India that

promotes the adoption of new energy

technologies, says the important thing is not

so much to deliver energy to the poor, but to

provide new ways to generate income. His

firm has devised a solar-powered sewing

machine, for example. Last year Mr Hande

started an incubation lab in rural

Karnataka, in southern India, to bring

together local customers and engineering

interns from MIT, Stanford and Imperial

College, London. The lab is currently

piloting a hybrid banana dryer that runs on

biomass during wet spells and sunlight on

dry days to make packets of dried banana

so that farmers no longer have to rely on

selling their crop immediately.

SELCO India, founded in 1995 by H.

Harish Hande, is a Bangalore-based social

enterprise that makes solar lighting

technology accessible to the economically

impoverished people of India. Harish

Hande is an engineer and a renewable

energy entrepreneur with extensive

grassroots experience in meeting the

energy requirements of rural households.

He was born in Bangalore, Karnataka and

raised in Rourkela, Orissa, India. After

completing his basic schooling in Orissa, he

w e n t t o I I T K h a r a g p u r f o r h i s

undergraduate s tudies in Energy

Engineering. He then went to the U.S. to do

his Master's and later Ph.D. in Energy

Engineer ing at the Univers i ty of

Massachusetts Lowell.

Since his graduate student days, Harish

firmly believed in the potential of solar

energy for improving productivity of rural

households. Two critical success factors of

SELCO's business model have been its

ability to customize its products to address

specific needs of the poor and to arrange

finance for its customers. Until date, SELCO

has sold solar lighting to 120,000 rural

homes and several other institutions such as

clinics, seminaries and schools in the Indian

Let there be light

state of Karnataka. Employing about 170

people, SELCO services these households

from 25 service centers scattered all across

rural Karnataka. Although SELCO has been

able to establish a sustainable business

model that realizes Harish's vision of

bringing low-cost energy solution to the

economically impoverished, its

challenge today is to create greater

impact by scaling its business as well as

creating an organization that

sustains its success beyond the

tenure of its founding members.

Harish Hande has won the Ashden

Award for Sustainable Energy

2005 and Tech Museum

Award 2005. Harish has also

received the world's leading green

energy award from Prince Charles

in 2005. In 2007 SELCO INDIA

won the Outstanding Achievement

Award from Ashden Awards. The

award was presented by Al Gore,

former Vice President of the United

States of America. Harish Hande was

named the Social Entrepreneur of the Year

2007 by the Schwab Foundation for Social

Entrepreneurship and the Nand & Jeet

Khemka Foundation. He was also the

featured attendee and speaker at the Clinton

Global Initiative 2007.

In 2008, Harish Hande was chosen by

Business Today as one of the 21 young

leaders for India's 21st century. In mid 2008,

India Today named him one of the 50

pioneers of change in India.

His experience includes a large number of

health, education and water related projects:

over 500 small rural and urban health

clinics, over 1000 rural and semi-urban

schools and dormitories, and over 1500

irrigation and drinking water systems. Dr.

Hande also is on the board of many

national and international organisations.

He advises aspiring social entrepreneurs or

people on starting-up social businesses,

especially in India,

“Don't start with money. When your back

is to the w o r l d , you can

innov

ate

. Get the manag e m e n t t e a m

first, then the money. Get four or five

people to OWN the business plan. SELCO

raised money only after three years of

formation.

We wouldn't have had the same

innovation if we had the money right from

the beginning. “In building SELCO, we

overcame many challenges & failures."

One of the biggest barriers is human

resources. We need people who can think

holistically. The education system in India

right now is very modular. Most of our

middle-management has come out of luck.

Social entrepreneurs need a lot of patience

eventually, the right people will come to

you. Entrepreneurs should look into rural

India there is a lot of talent. They just need

the opportunity.

AROUND 1.5 billion people, or

more than a fifth of the world's

population, have no access to

electricity, and a billion more

have only an unreliable and

intermittent supply. Of the

people without electricity, 85%

live in rural areas or on the

fringes of cities. Extending

energy grids into these areas is

expensive: the United Nations

estimates that an average of $35

billion-40 billion a year needs

to be invested until 2030 so everyone

on the planet can cook, heat and

light their premises, and have

energ y for productive uses such as

schooling. On current trends, however,

the number of “energy poor” people will

barely budge, and 16% of the world's

population will still have no electricity by

2030, according to the International

Energy Agency.

But why wait for top-down solutions?

There is no need to wait for politicians or

utilities to act. Local, bottom-up systems

may be more sustainable and produce

fewer carbon emissions than centralized

schemes. The developing world has an

opportunity to leapfrog the centralized

model, just as it leapfrogged fixed-line

telecoms and went straight to mobile

phones. Fortunately, lots of people are

doing just that.

ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY

MOTIVATIONAL STORIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO

HOBBY TURNED INTO BUSINESS PASSION IS THE GENESIS OF LANDMARK

ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 37

The eco-friendly fad, Ulhasnagar-based

entrepreneur and an analyst with a private

company, Kamlesh Hotchandani, 31, found his

recipe for success in selling eco-friendly

bamboo furniture and cane products, as a part-time business. The Green

Gold furniture and products are sourced from tribals of Assam and have

aroused interest of quite a few furniture dealers in

Mumbai, Pune and Thane. Hotchandani feels that

selling eco-friendly products is one way of giving

back to Nature what we have received from it.

Hotchandani got hooked to the idea two years

ago, inspired by the pathbreaking success of

Prashant Lingam's Bamboo House India. He

travelled to Assam and lived with the tribal

people for almost a month, understanding the

business and establishing contacts. He studied

all aspects of how these bamboo and cane

products are made, the time each item takes, the

sources of the raw material and the costs

involved.

Equipped with this knowledge, he came back to

Ulhasnagar and started Green Gold in October

2 0 0 9 . H e a l s o s e t u p a w e b s i t e

www.agreenanswer.co.in to showcase the

bamboo furniture and other items. Clients can

browse the website and place their orders. He has

almost 200 such items listed on the site. The order

is forwarded to Assam, from where the product is

sent by train. It takes about 15 days to be delivered

to the client but some products can take up to 40

days. For Hotchandani, this is a low margin and

low volume game. The monthly sales are around

1 lakh, but the overheads and procurement costs

are very high, leaving only 10-15% on the table for

Hotchandani. Going forward, he expects sales to

pick up if bamboo products and cane furniture

becomes a middle-class rage. Still, Hotchandani

is satisfied with the progress that his fledgling

venture has made in the past one and a half years.

He has seen the gloomy days when the economic

slowdown took jobs away and put life out of gear

for thousands of call centre employees like him.

All that seems history now.

Banking On BooksThe eco-friendly route to success

Hemu Ramaiah, CEO, Landmark. At 19, she

said, “At 20, I will start working. Before 30, I will

start my own business. After that, I won't take

risks. Before 50, I will retire.”

Who would've thought this focus would end up in a Rs. 225 crore-turnover

company as she turned 50. The business she started in over 5,200 square feet of

basement, rented out at four bucks per sq ft, has

spawned stores all over the country and

recently completed 20 years with a kind of

success that lives up to it's name: Landmark. “I

always knew I wanted to work in a book shop or

something to do with books and interacting

with people,” says Hemu Ramaiah, CEO,

Landmark.

She learnt more about literature hanging out at

the Taj Book Shop than from her course in Stella

Maris College. "I started working the day I

finished college in 1978. I was 20.”

In the next 10 years, she started more concept

book-stores in other hotels. But there was a

complete disconnect between “the guy ordering

for the distributor (the merchandiser) and what

the customer wanted.” The generation back

then was very well-read and wanted more.

Hemu got her NRI-brother Nataraj Ramaiah to

invest for retail. She then settled for a basement

of an office building." We didn't have a front

entry and even today, we don't even have a

name-board. You just need to put the money

into things that help the customer.”

Empowering customers: Books used to be sold

from behind counters when Landmark opened

in 1987. “If you wanted to see a coffee table

book, the fellow will not even show it to you,

he'll say: Want to buy? Otherwise: 'No, don't put

your fingerprints on my book!' Hemu wanted to

change this, encourage browsing, and empower

the customer. Landmark signed a joint venture

in Kolkata for an 18,000 sq ft store in 1999 and

then, the Spencer's Plaza store came up across

40,000 sq ft in 2001. From day one, it was a

phenomenal success and then they got

Bangalore, which is the flagship store today.

to the micro level of architectural or

construction details. Architecture is a highly

competitive and multi-disciplinary

profession involving a variety of tasks at

work. The stream of architecture has created

an enormous space for itself in this world of

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his

potato garden, but it was very hard for him. His only son, who

would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a

letter to his son and mentioned his situation:

Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant

my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden,

because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just

getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here,

all my troubles would be over.

I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.

Love, Dad

Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake,

Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the

GUNS!!"

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police

officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without

finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to

his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do

next. His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes,

Dad... It's the best I could do for you from here."

Moral: No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided

to do something deep from your heart you can do it. It is the

thought that matters not where you are or where the person is.

The Great New HR Policy!

Dress Code:

1) You are advised to come to work, dressed, according to your

salary.

2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we

will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not

need a raise.

3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money

better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do

not need a raise.

4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and

therefore you do not need a raise.

Sick Days: We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as a proof

of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come

to work.

Personal Days: Each employee will receive 104 personal days a

year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.

Bereavement Leave: This is no excuse for missing work. There is

nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every

effort should be made to have non-employees attend the funeral

arrangements in your place. In rare cases where employee

involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the

late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your

lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.

Bathroom Breaks: Too much time is being spent in the toilet. There

is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of

three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract,

the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your

second offense, your picture will be posted on the company

bulletin board under the “Chronic Offenders” category. Anyone

caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's

mental health policy.

Lunch Break: (Love this one)

* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more,

so that they can look healthy.

* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced

meal to maintain their average figure.

* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time

needed to drink a Slim-Fast.

Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide

a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions,

comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations,

aggravations, insinuations, al legations, accusations,

contemplations, consternation and input should be directed

elsewhere.
