The government’s announcement of India making the paradigm shift to full electric mobility by 2030, has already set the ball rolling, making Summit 2018-19 the manufacturers strategise their plans. However, the path to electrifying mobility is not that easy and it will not be individual corporate players who will win the game, but Manufacturing Excellence whole ecosystems of partners and competitors coming together to define standards and roll out electric charging infrastructure. The hurdles such as long charging times, with Digitalisation short travel ranges, and heavy batteries are being addressed by a slew of start-up innovators. But, there will be challenges arising in safety of electric charge and costs Bangalore - 5 Oct 2018 of installation, as well as operations during fast-moving traffic conditions. China is currently the world’s largest market for electric vehicles, and many Pune - 7 Dec 2018 automobile MNCs such as Toyota Motors, Nissan and Volvo have initiated the plans New Delhi - March 2019 to produce electric vehicles in China. For countries like India to match China, it will need significant manufacturing prowess for key components, ranging from battery cells and semi-conductor modules to micro-processors and controllers. This extends from prototyping to large-scale low-cost manufacturing. The opportunities also exist in design and IP, and not just in the OEM sector. To push its EV program, the government is also creating demand for such vehicles, which is expected to encourage more manufacturers to go electric. What’s needed at this point of time is a clear policy framework including a concrete plan on charging infrastructure, which in turn calls for an in-depth analysis to envisage disruption and democratisation of the entire automotive value chain and a step-by-step approach to accelerate the transition, while the ecosystem for electric vehicles develops gradually. We interacted with a few experts in this area to analyse the opportunities and challenges in the EV manufacturing area.

  • Some People Spend a Lot of Time Trying to Find out Who They
    What Kind of Experience Do You Need to Be a Successful Franchise Owner? By: Heather Rosen “Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom” -– Aristotle ome people spend a lot of time trying to find out who they are Sand what they want in life. This is a good thing - to constantly reinvent, contemplate, and revisit until you think you are on the right path - at least at this point in your life, because things will inevitably change and then it’s time to reinvent, contemplate and revisit all over again. If you are creative and motivated enough to figure out what path to follow, you should be able to find something that aligns with your strengths and interests. I haven’t always known what I have wanted in life, but I have always had a natural drive to identify com - plex problems and find solutions. So naturally, I spent the first part of my career as a lawyer. I was good at my job and enjoyed it. I used my listening and problem solving skills to help companies make acquisi - tions, win litigation and come out ahead in contract negotiations, and to help musicians get paid for their art. That part was great, but being an attorney also has an ugly side. On occasion, the work I was asked to do for a company ended up hurting their employees or customers. For example, I spent four months doing mortgage foreclosures for a bank and reading heartbreaking letters every day from people who were about to lose their homes. The day finally came where I realized I no longer loved what I was doing, and I took a step back and reflected.

  • Nepali Times, but Only About the Kathmandu District Are You Writing an Article
    #217 8-14 October 2004 20 pages Rs 25 Weekly Internet Poll # 157 Q. Should the government announce a unilateral ceasefire before Dasain? Peace by peace Total votes:1,001 ANALYSIS by KUNDA DIXIT Hope is strongest Weekly Internet Poll # 158. To vote go to: www.nepalitimes.com Q. Do you think the human rights situation in s Dasain approaches there are indications that both sides will Nepal has improved or deteriorated in the when things seem most hopeless past one year? observe an unofficial festival truce, but prospects of peace A talks to resolve the conflict are more remote than ever. A purported statement from the Maoists declaring a Dasain-Tihar ceasefire on Tuesday turned out to be a hoax. Rebel spokesman Krishna Bahadur Mahara set the record straight by dashing off an e- statement, but that was followed on Wednesday by another release purportedly signed by Prachanda saying the original statement was correct and action would be taken against Mahara. Analysts do not rule out the possibility of army disinformation at work, and see signs of a rift in the Maoist hierarchy following the groups plenum in Dang last month which reportedly rejected peace talks for now. The meeting was followed by strident anti-Indian rhetoric and an intriguing silence on the part of Baburam Bhattarai, who is said to have favoured a softer line on India. The contradictions between central-level statements about links to fraternal parties and recent attacks on the leftist United Peoples Front in the mid-west hint at a breakdown in control. While the leadership calls on UN mediation, grassroots militia defy international condemnation of forced recruitment of school students, abduction of a Unicef staffer and looting of WFP aid.

Gotaskie, Jr. Presentation to University of Pittsburgh Katz Graduate Business School January 20, 2015 © 2015 Fox Rothschild Franchising is Big Business • 1 out of every 9 retail dollars spent in the United States every day is spent at a franchised business. • Fully 13 percent of the private non-farm jobs in the United States are at franchised businesses. • 7-Eleven, one of the largest franchisors in the world, opens a new franchised outlet every 3.5 hours worldwide. 2 The Inadvertent Franchise • “Legal terms often have specialized meanings that can surprise even a sophisticated party. The term ‘franchise’ . is one of those words.”— United States Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals (1999). 3 Error Can Be Costly • Many manufacturers and suppliers are all too often surprised and dismayed to learn that their distributorship relationships are subject to franchise laws. • Very prominent example is a 1999 jury case where a jury awarded $1.525 million to a terminated Mitsubishi forklift distributor due to a violation of the Illinois franchise law. 4 So . how do you know? 5 The Law Defines It.

  • 'Don 2' Puts Berlin in the Limelight in India
    'Don 2' puts Berlin in the limelight in India. Berlin, 4.1.2012 Berlin in Bollywood. The film “Don 2- The King is back” is on course to set new box-office records as it premieres in India and is also showing signs of becoming an international blockbuster. Indian superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s new film may well lead to a boom in the number of visitors to Berlin, as the German capital is the main setting for this blockbuster action film. Audiences in India love the film; there is a rush for tickets as most showings are sold out and reviews have been positive. “Berlin now also plays a leading role in India. Thanks to Shah Rukh Khan’s new blockbuster the city has been opened up to millions of people in India and Asia. Bollywood films are seen by hundreds of millions of filmgoers and the most enthusiastic fans follow their idols everywhere“, says Burkhard Kieker, Managing Director of visitBerlin. “The film “Don 2- The King is back” creates marketing advantages which would be unthinkable and unaffordable through advertising. Berlin did not mean much to most Indians. That will all change thanks to Shah Rukh Khan and there will be noticeable effects on tourism in Berlin in the coming years.” The film production was brought to Berlin thanks to a joint initiative by visitBerlin, the Medienboard Berlin-Brandenburg, Berlin Partner and Berlin’s airports. Shah Rukh Khan kept Berlin in suspense for 50 days during filming in autumn 2010. In the film Kahn’s alias Don is involved in a top speed pursuit through the Gendarmenmarkt.

  • The Role of Human Resource Management in Organizations
    International Journal of Engineering Technology, Management and Applied Sciences www.ijetmas.com July 2015, Volume 3, Issue 7, ISSN 2349-4476 The Role of Human Resource Management in Organizations *Mrs. B. Naga Parameswari, Assistant Professor, Department of Management Studies, Padmasri Dr. B. V. Raju Institute of Technology, Narsapur, Medak District, **Mr. V. Yugandhar, Sr.Assistant Professor, Department of Management Studies, Padmasri Dr. B. V. Raju Institute of Technology, Narsapur, Medak District, Abstract The human resource function has gone from the traditional hire and fire role to a strategic partner at the table with finance, operations and other business centers that are not centers of profit for the organization. The job of HR, as is the job of all such departments, is to ensure that the business gets the most out of its employees. Another way to put this is that the human resource management needs to provide a high return on the business's investment in its people. This makes it a highly complex function - because it deals with not just management issues but human ones as well. In this article, we discuss the reasons for organizations to have a HRM strategy as well as the business drivers that make the strategy imperative for organizational success. It is a fact that to thrive in the chaotic and turbulent business environment, firms need to constantly innovate and be “ahead of the curve” in terms of business practices and strategies. It is from this motivation to be at the top of the pack that HRM becomes a valuable tool for management to ensure success.

  • Celluloid Anthropology
    CELLULOID ANTHROPOLOGY Film, after all, is more than mere Uncle Ike and my father, Jacob celluloid. It is socially constructed within a three-cornered association between filmmakers, film spectators, and the film texts themselves, and at every point in that nexus of relationships we encounter negotiation and interaction involving active social beings and institutionalized social practices.--Andrew Tudor, “Sociology and Film” As a bit of tea-soaked madeleine summoned Marcel’s memories of holidays in Combray, the aroma of sandalwood soap, simply cooked lentils, and hot sweet milk with a cream skin call up the general sensation of one period I spent in India. Sparing my kind father from her hormonal vicissitudes, my pregnant and homesick mother left Chicago for the duration of her pregnancy and took me along to her maternal house. There she was properly pampered and I was entertained by a merry cast of characters from a world to which I belonged, all of us in giddy anticipation of my sister’s birth. Like those “sonorous, fragrant, limpid hours” Proust’s protagonist spent in the country, the time I spent as an only child suddenly plunged into a warm extended family continues to affect and color my life. I cling to the sense of security, contentment, and connection I sensed in what was, for six months, my world instead of the one I so lightly inhabit. So shocked I was by our return to America that when I saw my own sweet father I blinked at him frankly and said, “I’m shy of you.” The people of that faraway land were very different from the quiet wintry Chicago to which we returned, and if I was borne of that world then I was forever very different too.
