Exodus ebbs after Centre cracks whip EXPRESS NEWS SERVICE @ New Delhi A day after the Centre cracked the whip against four senior Delhi government officers for failing to curb the migrant exodus to check the spread of coronavi- rus and directed all states to seal their borders, there was a semblance of normalcy across India, though some officials exceeded their brief and sprayed bleach on bunches of migrants in at least two states to disinfect them. The government also sought to quell rumours on the extension of the 21-day lockdown, with Cabinet Secretary Rajiv Gauba describing them as “fake news”. It was those rumours that had prodded mi- grants to leave Delhi in large numbers for their na- tive places. The Army, too, did its bit to dispel fake news, rub- bishing social media posts about a possible declara- tion of emergency in April. The matter of the migrant exodus reached the Su- preme Court as well, with a bench headed by Chief Justice of India S A Bobde and Justice L Nageswara Rao observing that panic and fear had become a big- ger problem than coronavirus. The bench sought a report from the Centre on the measures taken to pre- vent the migrant workers from going to their native places, after hearing two different petitions through video conferencing. The court said it would not like to create further confusion by issuing directions on measures the gov- ernment is already taking. 7,060 BOOKED FOR VIOLATING LOCKDOWN NORMS Police have booked around 7,060 persons in the state for violating the lockdown norms, said DGP Gautam Sawang. He conducted surprise checks near PVP and Trendset malls on Mahatma Gandhi Road here on Monday. Sawang said every VIJAYAWADA TUESDAY individual should take responsibility to prevent the spread of 02 31l03 l2020 COVID-19 and strictly follow lockdown guidelines. “We have West Godavari: 08812222376; East Godavari: 8841361763 Srikakulam: 6300073203; Guntur: 08362271492 intensified our vigil against foreign returnees.

The onset of the global pandemic caused by the COVID-19 outbreak has caused great distress across the world. From our perspective, it has meant that the Olympic Games scheduled to be held in Tokyo, Japan from July 24-August 9, 2020 have been postponed for the first time in history. While there is no doubt that the right decision was made, this postponement has led to a drastic shift in momentum for all our athletes who were in the ‘home stretch’ of their preparations. Having said that, this situation has also given us and our athletes a new purpose: that of being grateful, cherishing what we have and preparing even harder in the coming year to ensure we can move forward toward our goal of kickstarting an Olympic Movement in India! It fills me with immense pride to see the impact we have been able to create in Indian sport through the Inspire Institute of Sport (IIS) – our dedication to the nation built with the objective of churning out Champions for India.

Indian Entrepreneur Fund aims to invest in high growth (listed) businesses owned and managed by Indian entrepreneurs/families for superior long term wealth creation.

The fund seeks value creating traits in the investments, including, Size of Opportunity, Management Quality, Earnings Growth, Quality of Business and Value. Research methodology and brief rationale: Our study covered the universe of Top 500 listed companies by market cap and we segregated them into four categories based on their ownership structures - Entrepreneur run/ Family Owned Businesses (FOBs), Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs), Multi National Corporations (MNCs) and Pure Professional Firms. Since the widely held professional firms were only a handful in number, the three categories were taken up for intensive analysis and compared against a host of criteria i.e. sales growth, profit growth, operating margins, capital efficiency – RoE & RoCE and wealth creation. In each of the above comparisons, the entrepreneur run/family owned businesses fared exceedingly well. The summary of the findings are as below: Following are the findings and salient features of the research on Indian Entrepreneur and for Family Owned Companies: Continued Dominance of Entrepreneur / Family owned firms Entrepreneur/Family Owned Firms comprise ~50% of India’s market cap (in 2003 it was ~38% ) Fastest growing businesses Superior operating margins Over 20% OPMs consistently over the last 10 years.
