EUROPEAN COMPANIES in INDIA Reigniting Economic Growth Foreign Direct Investment EUROPEAN COMPANIES IN INDIA Reigniting Economic Growth Foreign Direct Investment Adith Charlie EUROPEAN COMPANIES IN INDIA: REIGNITING ECONOMIC GROWTH 1 European companiesForeign Direct in India Investment1 AIM OF THE STUDY Bilateral relations between the European Union and India have evolved from aid to trade in the last two decades. We would go a step further and say that the EU and India are on course to become strategic partners. The proposed Bilateral Trade and Investment Agreement (BTIA), which has been in the works for several years, will further strengthen the relationship by en- trenching it in sound institutional framework. Research on the subject of European investments in India is important for policy-makers and social scientists given the present economic realities. Both the EU and India face strong eco- nomic headwinds. While investors in India are wading through what has been a tantalising period for doing business, the European Union has not fully recovered from the aftermath of the sovereign debt crisis. The current business environment in India has raised some difficult questions for policymakers and industry observers. Is India losing its place of prominence in the global order for Foreign Direct Investments (FDI)? Should European investors look beyond India due to the country’s recent tryst with slow growth rates and policy uncertainty? This study aims to answer some of these questions while highlighting Europe Inc’s economic con- tribution to India between 2004 and 2013. Our study finds that European firms encounter myriad complexities in India but the smarter ones learn to stay focused on the mushrooming opportunities. Tactical Greenfield investments, landmark acquisitions and steadfast dedication through uncertain economic cycles have been the key ingredients to success. The Indian economy has greatly benefited in the process. FDI from the EU has boosted India’s export competitiveness, generated employment, strength- ened the skills base, enhanced technological capabilities and increased financial resources for development. Official data from neither side is sufficient for comprehending the drivers and motives of this new investment boom. Our study, therefore, fills a major gap in EU-India FDI literature. We have measured the economic gains of European investments on India’s commercial landscape within a 10-year timeframe. The report contains concrete measures on how EU companies can make India a growth centre and avoid the common pitfalls of doing business in the country. We have also highlighted rec- ommendations for Indian policymakers to encourage large dollops of FDI from the continent. Our booklet would serve as a comprehensive guide for information, statistics, analysis and trends pertaining to European investments. The study required us to dip into an extensive body of relevant literature such as EU-India policy documents, structured databases and third-party research reports. Plus, we have devel- oped our own dataset by deploying a two-step methodology that analyzes both the reality and perception of FDI from the major EU economies. The strength of our hypothesis was tested against the experiences of a cross-section of Country Managers who deal with the opportuni- ties and challenges that this market presents every day. To our knowledge, this is the first work of its kind at the pan-European level. We are confident that this report would provide usable perspectives, real-world anecdotes, and practical take- aways for companies and policymakers.

  • The Reason Given for the UK's Decision to Float Sterling Was the Weight of International Short-Term Capital
    - Issue No. 181 No. 190, July 6, 1972 The Pound Afloat: The reason given for the U.K.'s decision to float sterling was the weight of international short-term capital movements which, despite concerted intervention from the Bank of England and European central banks, had necessitated massive sup­ port operations. The U.K. is anxious that the rate should quickly o.s move to a "realistic" level, at or around the old parity of %2. 40 - r,/, .• representing an effective 8% devaluation against the dollar. A w formal devaluation coupled with a wage freeze was urged by the :,I' Bank of England, but this would be politically embarrassing in the }t!IJ light of the U.K. Chancellor's repeated statements that the pound was "not at an unrealistic rate." The decision to float has been taken in spite of a danger that this may provoke an international or European monetary crisis. European markets tend to consider sterling as the dollar's first line of defense and, although the U.S. Treasury reaffirmed the Smithsonian Agreement, there are fears throughout Europe that pressure on the U.S. currency could disrupt the exchange rate re­ lationship established last December. On the Continent, the Dutch and Belgians have put forward a scheme for a joint float of Common Market currencies against the dollar. It will not easily be implemented, since speculation in the ex­ change markets has pushed the various EEC countries in different directions. The Germans have been under pressure to revalue, the Italians to devalue. Total opposition to a Community float is ex­ pected from France (this would sever the ties between the franc and gold), and the French also are adamant that Britain should re­ affirm its allegiance to the European monetary agreement and return to a fixed parity.

  • 1) Executive Summary 2) Profiles 3) Legacy
    1) EXECUTIVE SUMMARY These are the lesser known facts about Tata I came to know very recently . I wrote this note as I was pained to see some people linking all wealthy people with corruption. While facts about other great people are widely available on web, facts about Tata aren't known much. Some information is present on books. Maybe Tatas deliberately haven't focussed much on marketing their own goodness. Of late, there are ads like 'Values stronger than steel' from Tata. Compared to the magnum opus of their work, their publicity pales in comparison. Even as a young kid, I have heard Tata's name. "Tata Birla" is a term synonymous with rich. I knew about Tata as another business man who sought to become rich and succeeded. But there is much more.... 2) PROFILES (Jamshetji) J.N.Tata ( 1839 - 1904 ) Dorab Tata / Ratan Tata ( early 1900s ) JRD Tata ( 1930s till 1990s) Ratan Tata ( 1990s - present ) 3) LEGACY - SYNOPSIS “Tatas represent the spirit of adventure,” - Mahatma Gandhi J.N.Tata is the founder of the Tata empire . In the book '100 Great Modern Lives' by John Canning only two Indians feature – Mohandas Karamchand Gandhi and Jamsetji Tata. The chapter on Jamsetji Tata concludes with the paragraph: ‘Probably no other family have ever contributed as much in the way of wise guidance, industrial development and advancing philanthropy to any country as the Tatas have to India, both before and since independence (1947).’ J.N.Tata's sons Dorab and Ratan Tata would carry the legacy of J.N.Tata.
