How Sam‘sung’ the grand old tune…

As its very name suggests, Samsung sang its way into India’s hearts through durable white goods that soon became a household name in the true sense of the word. Armed with style and technologically superior products, this Korean chaebol forayed into the handset manufacturing in 1997. Though the company is still striving to become No.1, both globally and in India, it has survived in a market populated by giants like Nokia, Motorola and Sony Erickson and has made a distinct place for itself, (it has over 12% market- share globally).

Just like what it did in the white goods segment, the Korean major “DigitALL‘Y’’ enhanced even the mobile phone experience by focusing on innovative product features, technology and design. Speaking to 4Ps B&M, Asim Warsi, Marketing Head, Samsung Telecommunication, elucidates, “Our quest in advertising has always been to bring the brand value to the customer; and that has been the area where we have operated on.” Not depending on only the television and print medium, Samsung made use of alternate channels of communication. The company produced the ‘Matrix Phone’ in collaboration with Warner Brothers, for their trilogy – The Matrix, Matrix Revolutions and Matrix Reloaded. This innovation created a lot of buzz, which translated into a surge in its overall sales.

Big endeavours begin with baby steps and All- Cargo Global Logistics epitomizes this very belief

The transportation and logistics sector in the country, despite being a high priority sector, suffers from infrastructural issues. What is your take on the future?

In the last few years, we have achieved a lot in terms of infrastructure, especially in roads and ports. The government is pretty pro-active in the way they are willing to unshackle. Yes, they are not doing it at the speed with which we would like them to, as we have seen the delay that has taken place in modernising airports or even ports.

We don’t plan to build capacities, say for the next 20 or 30 years. We are either doing it for today or for yesterday. The Prime Minister has already declared that the infrastructure sector would require an investment of $300 billion, so I feel everyone has the concept or the knowhow regarding what needs to be done exactly.

I strongly feel that we need to have much more expertise in the implementation process. Our ideas need to be implemented at the ground level.

Now a method to the madness?!?

Securities and Exchange Board of India’s new-found penchant for creating history is quite remarkable. The market watchdog on March 22, 2007, tightened the disclosure norms for real-estate IPOs – realty companies will now have to make the projection of the land/project on the present value basis (discounted at market rates) instead of future value. But that’s not the news creating history. On the same day, SEBI made the grading of Initial Public Offerings (IPOs) mandatory. IPO grading is a service aimed at facilitating the evaluation of equity issues offered to public. IPO issuers must furnish bank details accompanied by other balance sheet facts and figures. The disclosure-based model, as adopted by the regulator, is clearly a blessing in disguise for the investors. The disclosure, a one page evaluation by an expert agency (CRISIL, ICRA, CARE, and Fitch Ratings, et al), will be reduced to a single numerical grade on a scale of five (a higher score will indicate stronger fundamentals). The grading will be an autonomous and unprejudiced opinion of the grading agency (these agencies will be under public scrutiny) and SEBI will not play any role in the assessment made by the grading agency.
