Amul - The Taste of India Continues to Commemorate its Producers
Anand, Gujarat, India, Thursday, May 31, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- GCMMF which markets the popular Amul brand of milk and dairy products has crossed yet another landmark in its long and illustrious history. The results of the apex body of dairy cooperatives in Gujarat, were declared on 31st May 2012, in the 38th Annual General Meeting of GCMMF. The organization symbolizing 'taste of India' achieved another milestone by crossing the US $ 2.5 billion mark. However, this is not the only feat Amul is celebrating. GCMMF paid Rs. 9901 crore to its Member Unions, represented by 32 Lakh farmers. This way maximum share of consumers' money earned by GCMMF is being returned to its member farmers. GCMMF has closed the year 2011-12 with a turnover of Rs. 11668 crores, which is approximately 20% higher than Rs. 9775 crore, the turnover in 2010-11. All over the country and world, where farmers are struggling to make their milk business viable in absence of good returns, the farmers of Gujarat are rejoicing over a 58% increase in their milk prices, over the last three years. Member farmers of GCMMF Ltd received a price of Rs. 468 per Kg Fat for their milk production this year, the highest price being paid to farmers in the country.
The high growth in turn-over is also reflected in the performance of its various mega-brands as the organization has further enhanced its market-share in different product categories in spite of tough competition from local as well as multinational players. GCMMF has done remarkably well in most of the value-added consumer packs. Amul Milk in pouches has shown an impressive value growth of 29%. Sales of Amul Dahi and Amul Buttermilk have grown by a remarkable 41% and 27% in value respectively. Sales in Amul Cheese have shown a consistent and impressive growth of 23%. Dairy whitener, Amulya too has shown a growth of 26% over previous year sales. Amul Ice cream has maintained the position of No. 1 Ice cream brand in India, leaving a wide gap with the nearest competitor.
GCMMF, last year, initiated its largest distribution expansion exercise to extend its reach to smaller towns and semi-urban areas. Apart from the 750 distributors added in dairy and fresh products segment, GCMMF also added 150 super distributors through the implementation of its new 'hub & spoke' model, to reach the smaller markets. Retailing continues to be an important strategic initiative for GCMMF. During the year 2011-12, 965 new Amul Parlours have been added, taking the total strength to 6315, thus reinforcing the wide popularity of this concept. Apart from the 170 parlours at railway stations and 303 parlours operating at various centers of excellence; Amul also has 600 air-conditioned Ice-cream scooping parlours. With this Amul has emerged as the largest single brand retail in the country.
While commenting on the results, Shri Parthibhai G. Bhatol, Chairman, GCMMF informed that this year's performance is even more remarkable, considering the shortage of milk we faced in the beginning two quarters of the year and with this GCMMF has recorded a consistent growth rate of 20% over the last five years. Increased turnover of GCMMF means better returns for its farmer members, for whom this state apex body has been working relentlessly since last 38 years. He also mentioned about the growth plans, as part of which GCMMF will be investing Rs. 3000 crores to set up nine processing units in next four years. "This would enhance our milk handling capacity to 180 lakh litres per day against current capacity of 145 lakh litres per day", said the Chairman. He emphasized that in order to make India a milk surplus country and to pay reasonable returns to the milk producers, Government would need to give policy focus to dairy. Dairy today contributes 26% in agricultural output but still receives only 12% of the public expenditure on agriculture. Further, exempting income tax on dairying, like it is in agriculture, and reduced VAT rates on consumer products which are currently as high as 12.5% would help boost dairy sector and ensure better returns to milk producers and consumers.
Shri Bhatol further informed that GCMMF plans to achieve a turnover of Rs. 14400 crore in the year 2012-13. As the undisputed leader of organized Indian dairy sector, GCMMF will continue to focus on expanding category penetration and enlarging consumer base of the product categories that it operates in.

The Next Phase of Telecom Revolution is Data Transfer, Notes Frost & Sullivan
Frost & Sullivan also launches a whitepaper 'Mobile Broadband in India - The Next Telecom Revolution' at Mobile Broadband Summit 2012
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, May 31, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Mobile penetration in India is growing rapidly. Frost & Sullivan predicts that by 2017, the number of mobile subscribers will reach 1,366.4 Million, growing at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 8.9 percent, and mobile penetration is expected to reach 105 percent. Also, as several individuals use multiple SIM cards in the country, the actual number of subscribers is likely to reach 908.6 million by 2017. Wireless telecom is expected to be a $50.5 Billion industry by 2017.
The next phase of telecom revolution is data transfer, but despite Government push to build broadband capacities across the country, it has not taken off as expected. Factors like poor fiber connectivity, availability of affordable smart devices, next-generation network rollouts, inexpensive spectrum, and cost-effectiveness of wireless technology as an access medium have made mobile broadband the perfect solution for broadband connectivity in India.
The first Mobile Broadband Summit hosted by Frost & Sullivan recently, brought together all industry leaders and key ecosystem participants under one roof. A whitepaper titled, 'Mobile Broadband in India - The Next Telecom Revolution,' authored by Frost & Sullivan's Mobile and Wireless Practice was also launched at the Summit. The whitepaper covered mobile broadband topics like its advantages, availability of affordable devices, Government efforts to increase broadband penetration, social impact, market potential, infrastructure requirement, radio access network, backhaul network, growth of ancillary segments, and strategic recommendation to operators, the Government, other regulatory bodies, and key ecosystem participants.
According to Mr. Abhishek Chauhan, Senior Consultant, ICT Practice, Frost & Sullivan, South Asia & Middle East, "Mobile broadband can open up a completely new experience to mobile internet users. With this advanced connectivity, customers can explore unlimited Internet options. Poor fiber connectivity and cost-effectiveness of wireless technology as an access medium would further fuel the growth of mobile broadband in India."
The highlight of the summit was the panel discussion on 'The Promise of Mobile Broadband', which was moderated by Mr. Anand Rangachary, Partner and Managing Director, Frost & Sullivan, Middle East, North Africa and South Asia, and included panelists like, Mr. N Ravi Shankar, Head USOF, DOT; Mr. Sandeep Girotra, Country Head, Nokia Siemens Networks; Mr. Sukanto Aich, President, Enterprise Business, Tata Teleservices; and Mr. Vishwanath, CEO, IMI Mobile.
The discussion focused on perspectives for the key ecosystem participants, namely, operators, USOF, devices networks, and applications. The discussion initially focused on ways and means to revive the telecom industry, as falling returns, hyper competition, lukewarm response to data services, and regulatory uncertainty have bought the entire sector to a near standstill. The panelists also discussed required Government measures including the National Telecom Policy 2012. Key contemporary issues like proliferation of 3G/4G services amidst slow growth, increasing significance of content and applications, and prevalent business models were also touched upon. Innovation and technological advancement in network equipment, along with the potential impact of increasing broadband adoption on indigenous manufacturing, were some of the other aspects touched upon. The panel concluded on the note, that for quick and effective uptake of mobile broadband, it is important for the entire ecosystem to come together and work in tandem.
According to Mr. Arun Das, Chief Operating Officer, E&T, Tata Teleservices Limited, "This Summit was a good forum for networking. It provided a holistic view on the mobile broadband segment."
The Gold Partner for the Summit was Tata Teleservices, and the supporting Media Partners were Lightreading.com, Telecom Watch, Telecomlead.com, and Telecom Era.

It has successfully undertaken the task of offering a full range of academic degree programs which include undergraduate, postgraduate and professional degrees across a number of disciplinary fields right from its inception in 2011.Consistently proving its academic prowess in the educational industry through the School of Engineering, School of Natural Sciences, School of Humanities and Social Sciences, Shiv Nadar University plans to roll out other schools including the School of Business in the coming years.
Fields such as bioinformatics and cheminformatics are scientific disciplines that have evolved recently as the path breaking link between chemistry, biology and computer science. The data and information procured by robotic analyses using arrays and micro-array technologies can only be processed by the experts using computational techniques taught at this institution. Predictive informatics methods employ statistical techniques which scourge through this data for hidden correlations and to retrieve molecules, genes or patterns with specific properties or desirable biological activities from large databases, which proves that it is a skilful art, more than just a mere practice. Informatics methods have been especially valuable in drug design and development, but are also increasingly employed in several other disciplines which are governed by the science of complex systems. This calls for an inter-disciplinary approach to the study of these problems.
The Center for Informatics at the Shiv Nadar University forms a hub of inter-disciplinary research linking programs in the School of Natural Sciences School of Engineering, School of Humanities and Social Sciences and the proposed School of Business, School of Public Health and School of Fine Arts.
It takes a true pioneer to handle schools of teaching across every conceivable field that educate our future leaders and Shiv Nadar University does this with a poise and finesse through its holistic nurturing environment and a stellar faculty from the tallest global institutions like IIT Delhi, Oxford University, University of California at Berkeley and St. Stephen's College. With a built up area in phase one alone at 1.8 million square feet, there is ample space for an individual to grow both mentally and in intellect! In a short span of a year, Shiv Nadar University has repeatedly made its presence known through its unique differentiation in the field of education to create leaders of tomorrow.

BWI: Hay Group Study Finds Human Resource Professionals Struggling as Strategic Business Partners
Press release from Business Wire India

Hay Group Study Finds Human Resource Professionals Struggling as Strategic Business Partners
Inefficient processes and disconnected disciplines holding HR back
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Wednesday, May 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Human resource professionals are making slow strides in becoming strategic business partners within their organizations, according to new research Next generation HR from Hay Group, the global management consultancy.
Only 34 per cent of those surveyed believe HR is making a significant strategic contribution to their organization; most (60 per cent) positioned themselves somewhere in the middle, confirming that there's still much room for improvement.
The research, which surveyed over 1,400 HR professionals and senior management from around the world, found that the cost cutting and efficiency priorities - introduced to weather the economic storm of recent years - have now evolved to a focus on driving performance and growth. Meanwhile, the emerging HR concerns for the years ahead lie around developing the workforce and ensuring the right people are in the right roles and doing the right work.
Hay Group research highlights that building a workforce for the future is the growing priority:
"As market demands continue to change, organizational success will hinge on HR's ability to connect human capital decisions with business strategy. HR will need to stop clinging to traditional processes and inefficient silos and move toward an integrated approach that links work and people to business results. Such change is critical if HR is to transition to its rightful place of strategic business partner," said Phil Johnson, Hay Group's global head of work measurement.
However, respondents report that there is still significant misalignment across HR disciplines:
-- Only 40 per cent say work measurement and talent management processes are closely aligned
-- Even fewer (36 per cent) say talent management and organizational effectiveness are closely aligned
-- Slightly more than one-third (39 per cent) say they have moved away from traditional silos, but this leaves 61 per cent that haven't - or worse still, are unsure.
The research highlights how HR will lag behind management expectations if a holistic approach to people management - based on a framework of understanding work - is not adopted. Jobs are at the heart of HR processes, therefore it's crucial to analyze work if people resources are to be best deployed to deliver on business objectives.
Despite 76 per cent of respondents saying they use a formal work measurement system, the research suggests that many organizations are not seizing upon the full potential or making the most of their investment.
"Organizations are largely looking at Work measurement systems to align their rewards and grading architecture which is a sub optimal use of such a powerful organization effectiveness mechanism, says Sridhar Ganesan, Practice Leader, Rewards Services, Hay Group, India. We are seeing a major shift aming our Indian clients who want the work measurement system to be a platform that would also anchor different HR processes such as succession planning, career pathing, organization design review etc. An holistic approach to work measurement can feed enormously into strategic decision making with respect to the organizations. Having a seamless approach to understanding work and people is what next generation Strategic HR would be all about.

BWI: Frost & Sullivan: With a CAGR of 12.6 Percent from 2010 to 2017, The Indian ECG Market maintains its Momentum even in a Constrained Economic Climate

Frost & Sullivan: With a CAGR of 12.6 Percent from 2010 to 2017, The Indian ECG Market maintains its Momentum even in a Constrained Economic Climate
The High-end 6 and 12 Channel to Grow the Fastest with a Projected Growth Rate of 21.6 Percent from 2009 to 2017
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, May 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- The Indian ECG equipment market has emerged as one of the most profitable in the patient monitoring sector, marking a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 12.6 percent from 2010 to 2017. The market showed no signs of slowing down even during the global economic downturn, with the stress ECG/TMT market generating $9.1 million in 2010, at a growth rate of 11.1 percent. However, it is the 6/12-channel ECG equipment market, with a remarkable CAGR of 21.6 percent, that is expected to power the market ahead.
Recent analysis from Frost & Sullivan (http://www.patientmonitoring.frost.com), Overview of the Electrocardiograph (ECG) Equipment Market in India, finds that the market earned revenues of $26.5 million in 2010 and estimates this to reach $60.7 million in 2017.
The market is benefitting from the rising incidence and awareness of cardiovascular diseases, escalating public expenditure on healthcare services, increasing demand for high-end equity systems, and rapid technological advancements.
"End users have shown a marked preference for equipment with more accurate measurements," says Frost & Sullivan Research Analyst. "This has created a wider market for high-equity ECG systems (6 and 12 channel ECGs) market, but shrunk the channel ECG market."
Despite the overall vast market potential, participants will face some road blocks while trying to penetrate the rural markets. The inadequate access to healthcare facilities and competition from the low-cost domestic market will peg back participants that are looking to establish a toehold in the Indian market.
The competition between domestic and major market participants has even led to price wars in the single-channel and 3-channel ECG market segments, which have, in turn, eroded the profit margins of prominent market participants.
"ECG diagnosis has not gained momentum among Tier-III and rural healthcare facilities due to poor hospital infrastructure, insufficient transport facilities, understaffed hospitals, and a lack of awareness about cardiovascular diseases," notes the Analyst. "Providing better access to healthcare facilities and educating the rural population on the importance of monitoring cardiovascular diseases will improve the ECG diagnosis rates and thereby, help to tap the rural and tier 3 cities market."

This has helped us to secure the widest range of travel partners needed to deliver intensely competitive search results. The conditions all favour the launch of this dedicated travel comparison site," explained Jackson Fernandez, Wego India General Manager.
His team has secured all the major online travel agencies and many other travel sites including those less familiar to travellers, but with interesting inventory and exceptional deals.

Modern LED Technology Improves Quality, Efficiency and Lifespan of E.N.T. Examination Instruments
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, May 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Use of light emitting diodes (LEDs) as an energy-efficient light source has become more commonplace recently as the technology has improved over the last few years. The otoscopes and ophthalmoscopes in Riester's ri-scope® L and e-scope® ranges now use LED lights to provide a clearer image and increased lifespan with their whiter light and excellent efficiency. LED illumination is also offered with otoscopes in Riester's ri-former modular diagnostic station, which offers a versatile combination of modular options and cost-savings by negating the need for batteries.
Along with other energy-efficiency improvements such as durable li-ion batteries and automatic power management, Riester's use of the most up-to-date technology offers doctors and nurses a range of E.N.T. examination instruments that provides higher quality light over a much longer lifespan. For example, the LED lamps in the ri-scope® L series will produce at least 20,000 hours of 17,500 Lux light intensity, compared to the 20-30 hours of a xenon or halogen bulb.
In addition to the direct user benefits, Riester is pleased to be offering a product that is much more environmentally friendly than traditional lamps, with the instruments using less energy, requiring less maintenance and making the batteries last much longer - meaning less waste from disposal and replacement. Alkaline batteries for e-scope® and lithium batteries for ri-scope® L have a much longer lifetime of 50 hours when used with LED illumination compared to traditional bulbs.

BWI: Castell Improves Delivery Times and Safety Rating with New UPS Systems Interlock

Castell Improves Delivery Times and Safety Rating with New UPS Systems Interlock
Multi-voltage and solenoid-controlled KSUPS+ safeguards uninterruptible power supply systems
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Wednesday, May 30, 2012 -- (Business Wire India) -- Industrial safety specialist Castell Safety International Ltd ( www.castell.com), currently celebrating its 90th birthday, has launched a new multi-voltage interlock primarily for use with uninterruptible power supply (UPS) systems. The KSUPS+ is a solenoid-controlled trapped key interlock that only permits access to a UPS system once the system has been put into a safe condition.
The KSUPS+ features a number of innovative design improvements, including multi-voltage input. Having a wide voltage input range means that a single device now replaces eight previous devices; the input voltage for the KSUPS+ ranges from 24 V AC or DC to 220 V AC or DC.
As a safety device, the integrity of the KSUPS+ is vital. A monitored solenoid increases the safety performance rating of the KSUPS+, ensuring a higher level of protection for personnel whilst working on UPS systems.
Castell has also reviewed the aesthetics of the KSUPS+. Not only does this improve the look of switchgear cabinets, it also aids operational efficiency and gives a clear indication of where the safety component is located on a panel. Importantly, the KSUPS+ retains the same mounting dimensions as the previous unit and therefore the KSUPS+ can be retrofitted.
Inserting and turning the key operates four pole switch contacts and allows the system to run. The key remains trapped and can only be released when a signal is received by the device and the solenoid is energised. Removing the key switches the contacts to the 'off' state, and the key can then be used to open the access interlock.
Simplicity has been at the forefront of the design of the new KSUPS+, as Paul Marks, Castell's new product development director, explains: "Selecting the old KSUPS meant that customers had to first be sure of the signal voltage for the solenoid, which often led to delays in being able to place the order and selection errors. Removing these issues has been uppermost in our minds when we looked at how to develop the new KSUPS+. The solution we have delivered is multi-voltage. Together with the improved level of safety offered by the solenoid monitoring, and the enhanced look of the unit, we are sure the KSUPS+ will be a very successful product."
