Union Budget 2011-12 Favourable for MSMEs: IndiaMART CEO Mr. Dinesh Agarwal
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Monday, February 28, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) --
--Progress on GST commendable; look forward to speedy implementation
--Appreciate allocation of Rs 5000 cr to SIDBI for refinancing incremental lending by banks to MSMEs; however, better increase was expected
--Move to take rural broadband connectivity to all the 2.5 lakh Panchayats in the country in next three years to provide much-needed empowerment to rural India
--Emphasis on the use of technology/ Internet in rural areas to bring efficiency in the system
--No major steps to increase supplies in order to tackle inflation announced in the Budget
Commenting on the Union Budget 2011-12, Mr. Dinesh Agarwal, Founder and CEO, IndiaMART.com, said, "We welcome the Union Budget 2011-12 presented by the Honourable Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee today.
We are delighted that the FM has taken into consideration the need to simplify the tax procedures for small businesses. This was one of the key expectations we had from this budget. The progress on GST is also commendable and we look forward to its speedy implementation this year. This will synchronise the sale of goods across the country and simplify taxation for MSMEs.
While we appreciate the allocation of Rs 5,000 cr to SIDBI for refinancing incremental lending by banks to micro, small and medium enterprises, we expected better increase in the outlay to cover as many of these firms possible.
Presently, credit is the main challenge facing the Indian MSMEs. With the increase in priority sector lending targets for the PSBs, it can serve some of the funding requirements of MSMEs and help them scale up.
Lowering of the surcharge tax limit on corporate tax to 5 per cent will also help the small and medium businesses who will be able to use the capital for further expansions.
Besides, the government's decision to take the rural broadband connectivity to all the 2.5 lakh Panchayats in the country in next three years is a right step towards nation-building which will provide much-needed empowerment to the rural India. Also, the emphasis on the use of technology/ Internet for e-governance will bring effectiveness and efficiency in the system.
However, we did not find any major steps to increase supplies in order to tackle the inflation in the Budget. This is the need of the hour and we urge the government to look into this as well.
Now, we believe the emphasis should be laid on implementation, which will further ensure overall inclusive growth of the economy."

BWI: A Play-it-Safe Budget with no Bold Reforms: Kiran Majumdar Shaw

A Play-it-Safe Budget with no Bold Reforms: Kiran Majumdar Shaw
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Monday, February 28, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Striving to augment growth in the face of rising inflation and falling investor confidence, India needed Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee to deliver a 2G Union Budget - a bold statement from the UPA government that addressed Growth and Governance. Unfortunately, all he has is delivered is a 'play-it-safe' budget by balancing his books, containing the deficit, averting subsidies and creaking open the door to foreign investment in Indian mutual funds.
While Mr Mukherjee has increased allocation for the social sector - which is a welcome step to enable inclusive growth - the fact remains that this enhanced outlay will not have an immediate impact. Moreover, the quantum of the hike in some areas is too insignificant. Rs 300 crore here and there is not going to make a difference in a country like India, with its large population and significant problems. Thus, the Budget has made cosmetic pronouncements when it comes to clean energy and higher education, without offering these crucial sectors the means with which they can bring positive change.
For a government that started its term with meaty pronouncements on the need for reform, this was an opportunity for the UPA government to take some long overdue and bold decisions in retail, insurance and infrastructure. It was a platform for the government to back up its pronouncements on growth and employment with bold budgetary rollouts in manufacturing and services. Not only would this have been welcomed by foreign investors but it would also have introduced strong growth traction in the economy.
The Indian Growth Story has been sustained by foreign direct investment, as investors across the world clamored to partake in the dividend offered by the country's growth. Now, we seem to have lost the plot - even as other emerging markets are managing to garner higher foreign investment, we are failing to compete and seem to have lost our policy momentum. The result? In the past 2 months alone, $2 billion dollars have been taken out of the stock market. In 2010, FDI reduced 30 pc to $24 billion. These are very dangerous signs, reflecting a reality where investors are losing confidence and we cannot afford to be complacent. This budget needed to take steps to attract FDI back to India, especially in the retail and insurance sectors. However, apart from allowing FDI in MFs, Mr Mukherjee has failed to take any step towards this end.
Beyond growth, India's sizeable population of youth requires jobs, which cannot be created by the government. The government can only enable jobs by setting a job-oriented tone for sectors that create jobs, such as retail and manufacturing, which are again largely absent in this Budget. While the finance minister is promising that the government will come out with a manufacturing policy, which is a welcome sign, we don't know what it entails.
The Budget has been disappointing for the corporate sector. What is deeply distressing is that he has taken several retrograde decisions in this Budget. Not only has he increased MAT for the corporate sector, but he has also brought SEZs under the MAT ambit. SEZs augur well for exports, enabling development by generating employment, attracting investment and upgrading technologies. However, today SEZs are lost in the maze of ad-hoc policy and questionable practices.
This Budget has also let down the healthcare sector, which has not seen anything concrete beyond the increase in allocation and the extension of health insurance to NREGA workers. Instead of taking measures such as extending health insurance to all Indians and setting up an integrated healthcare system to ensure affordable and accessible healthcare for all, Mr Mukherjee has taken pot shots at easy targets such as bringing health check-ups and diagnostics under the service tax net.
The Minister has totally excluded the promising Biotechnology sector, failing to make provisions for the funding the industry requires. Incentivising R&D by providing a 5-year tax holiday on products developed in-house, venture funding, zero duty on R&D equipment, and a longer tax-free allowance for biotech SEZs are steps that have been totally ignored. No steps have been taken to enable scientific and technological advances or boost innovation. The government is failing to back its pronouncements with actual steps, leaving the pronouncements as mere rhetoric.
This Budget has not taken any imaginative decisions that can make a difference to India, its citizens and its industry. I would rate this budget no higher than 5.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. The UPA government will have to do a lot more to supercharge India and enable inclusive growth.

Indian Innovator in US list of "Top 25 Doers, Dreamers, and Drivers"
Hyderabad, Andhra Pradesh, India, Monday, February 28, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Mr. Sai Kumar Rachuri, the Chief Information Office of Ohio Office of Budget and Management, a native of Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh who hails from the family of reputed and renowned South India's Biggest retail store chain KALAMANDIR, wins the rare distinction by being named as one of the "Top 25 Doers, Dreamers and Drivers" from Government Technology Magazine.
The Innovative Back Office Design developed by him brought the honor by listing the name in the "Top 25 Doers, Dreamers and Drivers". He is the only Indian to be featured in the list this year and the nation is proud of him.
This rare distinction is given each year by Government Technology Magazine to the Top 25 people in the United States Public Sector Service, who have conquered barriers to innovate and reshape government operations in the public sector for the better.
Mr. Sai Kumar Rachuri has won the credit for his unique and groundbreaking design of the Ohio Shared Services Center's technology backbone. The design ensures that employees work on thin clients and voice over Internet protocol telephony; data goes to the on-site, dedicated server room. State employees send their invoices to the center through a statewide PeopleSoft ERP implementation called the Ohio Administrative Knowledge System.
The IT was made flexible so that the state could quickly add or subtract services as needed, but it's robust enough that the state could potentially use the infrastructure someday for other shared service "Verticals" such as technology or procurement.
Handled individually. Each invoice used to cost the state $33, Mr. Sai Kumar Rachuri said "Ohio Shared Services has lowered that to $12 and hopes to get down to $6".

Aquatech India 2011 is a joint venture between Amsterdam RAI and Inter Ads Exhibitions (India) Pvt. Ltd., a leading name in exhibitions in India. Indian Desalination Association (InDA), International Water Association (IWA), Indian Water Works Association (IWWA), Indian Plumbing Association (IPA), US Commercial Service, Water Quality Association (WQA) that supports Aquatech India and strongly focuses on drinking water, process water and wastewater management. Aquatech India has become a part of largest international series of water events in the world.

"Aquatech India 2011 has successfully established itself as India's leading event, which gives a platform to all decision makers and professionals from Asia and throughout the world to see the latest techniques to save water from throughout the world.

Says Rajan Sharma, Inter Ads-Brooks Exhibitions (India) Pvt. Ltd.
Water is the most common chemical substance that is essential for the survival of all known forms of life. While the world's population tripled in the 20th century, the use of renewable water resources has grown six-fold. Within the next fifty years, the world population will increase by another 40% to 50%. This population growth - coupled with industrialization and urbanization - will result in an increasing demand for water and will have serious consequences on the environment. Already there is more waste water generated and dispersed today than at any other time in the history of our planet: more than one out of six people lack access to safe drinking water, 3900 children die every day from water borne diseases. It is all the more critical that increased water use by humans does not only reduce the amount of water available for industrial and agricultural development but has a profound effect on aquatic ecosystems and their dependent species. Environmental balances are disturbed and cannot play their regulating role anymore.
Looking at these criticalities in water sector the second edition of Aquatech India 2011 is coming up to bridge ever growing gap between the demand and supply of water, the Asian and especially the Indian Water sector will witness a phenomenal growth in the future. The water use is likely to increase substantially in the period up to 2025 particularly in the domestic, individual & power sub-sectors. Huge investments in every water related industry has done and more would be required to tackle the unprecedented growth. Growth further will demand some policy related changes that include;
-- Greater cost recovery
-- Larger private sector participation
-- Adoption of water conservation policies
-- Empowering local bodies and ensuring greater people participation
-- Reduction in pollution through better agricultural practices
'Aquatech India 2011' would serve as a platform to raise awareness of the water supply and waste water treatment problems in India and to promote international cooperation in seeking solutions for these problems by providing communication platform and organizing technology and academic exchange programs.

LG' IPS LCD Captures Wins, Losses and Celebrations of ICC World Cup 2011
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Friday, February 25, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- The ICC World Cup, 2011, has just started, but not without giving fans all over the world a long treat with the greatest sporting action, a continuous adrenaline rush and memories to last forever. The Cup that launches many heroes and also brings many to their knees at the same time, ensuring that those who are not present in the stadium, would forever be glued to their LG IPS TV screens to catch the action live.
In a cricket-crazy India, the cricket fever spreads like never before. The Indian supporters spend many a sleepless nights to catch it all in action. The passion and zeal can never be missed as fans don Indian Team jerseys and crowd around TV screens, to ensure that they do not miss the power-packed excitement. The cricket fans have just started discussing the special moments of the game. Scores of viewers are simply glued to their screens and the LG IPS panel technology has emerged as the ubiquitous choice. A cricket enthusiast commented, "As I could not be at the stadium for the matches, I ensured I watch it all on my LG IPS screen at home. With this technology, I could catch all the quick motion action of the games. It was just as good as being physically present at the stadium, maybe even better."
The LG IPS panel with the Tru-Motion 480Hz technology is the most advanced LCD technology to provide sharper and clearer pictures of fast movement and provides a vivid and clear picture without any blurring at any viewing angle. In case you don't want the commentary to die out in a cacophony of human voices in the background, the 'Clear Voice' feature alters the sound balance to reduce the background noise. LG's In Plane Switching (IPS) technology is one of the world's leading LCD technologies, and innovatively aligns liquid crystal technology to increase the viewing angle.
With an IPS panel, one is assured of vivid and clear moving images because of excellent Moving Picture Response Time (MPRT) performance and variation. Sports fanatics can be assured that there will be no colour distortion from any angle because of no shift in gamma rays, thus being least strenuous to human eyes. The touch panel is also vastly stable as moving picture image sticking does not occur. LCD technology has evolved dramatically and LG's IPS technology backed TVs are indeed the choice of the times!
About IPS:
IPS (In Plane Switching) technology is one of the most leading LCD technologies in the world. IPS technology innovatively aligns liquid crystal horizontally to increase the viewing angle and changes the LCD transmittance. IPS is mainly owned by LG Display Company. This technology was unanimously accepted in its early phase by professionals from all across the globe. IPS enabled LCD TV particularly deserves praise on its dynamic image expression in comparison to Normal LCD TV, because the IPS liquid crystal responds faster and expresses smoother moving images. While ensuring the image sharpness, IPS is more suitable to viewing dynamic images such as the Olympic Games and can entirely satisfy consumer needs for high definition images.

Juniper Networks Introduces QFABRICT: The Foundation of Data Centers for the Next Decade
New Paradigm in Data Center Fabric Provides Breakthrough Scale, Speed, Savings and Simplicity to Power the Cloud Computing Era
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Friday, February 25, 2011 -- (Business Wire India) -- Juniper Networks (NYSE: JNPR) today unveiled QFabric, the world's first true data center fabric. An outcome of "Project Stratus," Juniper's multiyear data center network research and development initiative, QFabric delivers quantum leap improvements in data center performance, operating cost and business agility, from the enterprise to the large scale cloud provider. Engineered as a simplified, highly scalable data center network solution, QFabric enables a superior approach to building and securing virtualized data centers that eliminates the tradeoff between quality of experience and economics that plagues today's legacy networks.
QFabric enables exponential improvements in data center speed, scale and efficiency, by removing legacy barriers and improving business agility. QFabric's flat architecture also enables the industry's first integrated security solution that provides visibility, enforcement and scale across the entire physical and virtual data center fabric. Juniper has invested three years and more than $100 million in research and development to address these constraints, creating a new architecture that is designed to be the foundation of data centers for the next decade. QFabric delivers on Juniper's 3-2-1 data center network architecture - collapsing the traditional three-layer network down to a single, high-performance layer.
"Data center compute and storage technologies have advanced over the last decade, and the legacy approach to networking has not kept pace," said Kevin Johnson, CEO of Juniper Networks. "As cloud computing and the mobile internet accelerate, demand is intensifying for a quantum leap forward in data center capabilities. With QFabric, Juniper is transforming data center economics by introducing the only network fabric that is able to eliminate multiple layers of cost and complexity."
Juniper's QFabric architecture is up to ten times faster, uses 77 percent less power, requires 27 percent fewer networking devices, occupies 90 percent less data center floor space, and delivers a nine fold reduction in operating resources than the nearest competitive offering . Improvements in operating expenses of this magnitude provide significant benefit to customers coping with the growing cost of continuing to scale data centers to drive revenue and meet escalating demands driven by cloud computing and mobile Internet.
"QFabric is an evolutionary path to a revolution in computing," said Pradeep Sindhu, founder and CTO of Juniper Networks. "We have fundamentally reengineered the datacenter network, and with QFabric we address the demand for exponential speed, scale, security and efficiency for the next decade."
A New Class of Networking Products: The QFabric Product Family
QFabric is composed of three components that create a high-performance, low latency fabric, unleashing the full power of the data center. The QF/Node acts as the distributed decision engine of the fabric; the QF/Interconnect is the high speed transport device; and the QF/Director delivers a common window, controlling all devices as one.
Available for order today, the Juniper Networks® QFX3500 is the first product in the QFabric family and a stepping stone into the QFabric architecture. It is also capable of operating as a stand-alone 64-port 10Gigabit Ethernet switch with FCoE and Fiber Channel gateway functionality. The QFX3500 offers the fastest unicast and multicast performance in the industry.
The QF/Interconnect and QF/Director will be available for order in Q3.
Juniper's Partners: Advancing the Data Center
Juniper partners IBM, NetApp, CA Technologies and VMware believe that the QFabric architecture will help address market requirements for data center networking and cloud.
"Our clients have been turning to the IBM Communications Service Provider Platform to rapidly create new cloud-based development environments and offer new services. Juniper's push to simplify the network aligns with IBM's vision to provide customers with a more intelligent and connected business infrastructure," said Scott Stainken, general manager, global telecommunications industry at IBM.
Juniper customers such as NYSE Euronext and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory are already seeing the performance gains that the new architecture is able to deliver.
"Traditional architectures can't deliver the type of mission critical, high-speed performance our business demands in order to operate most effectively," commented Andrew Bach, senior vice president, technology, NYSE Euronext. "Juniper's reduced layer model has shown the capability to provide outstanding results in the rigorous trading environment of NYSE Euronext's data centers and we're confident this is the right solution for our business and the millions of customers that rely on our systems every day."
"Enterprises and service providers must look beyond traditional multi-layered, complex and inflexible data center networks to deliver on the business requirement for a more agile IT infrastructure and technical solutions for virtualization and cloud services," said Mark Fabbi, vice president, distinguished analyst, Gartner Research. "We're seeing the emergence of a new concept we call 'Fabric Computing' and a new round of network innovation that better meets the needs of the next generation data center."
