Amazon.com

Amazon.com, Inc. (NASDAQ: AMZN) is an American e-commerce company based in Seattle, Washington. It was one of the first major companies to sell goods over the Internet and was one of the iconic stocks of the late 1990s dot-com bubble. After the bubble burst, Amazon faced skepticism about its business model, but it made its first annual profit in 2003.
Founded by Jeff Bezos in 1994, and launched in 1995, Amazon.com began as an online bookstore, though it soon diversified its product lines, adding VHSs, DVDs, music CDs, MP3s, computer software, video games, electronics, apparel, furniture, food, toys, and more.
Amazon has established separate websites in Canada, the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, France, China, and Japan. It ships globally on selected products.

Angel investor: A life line for rookie entrepreneurs

Angel investor: A life line for rookie entrepreneurs : The Economic Times



Business aspirant Madan Pandit quit his job in 2004 and roamed Bangalore’s cyber cafes to build the prototype of an online search analytics tool, which he later converted into his first venture. When he needed funds for the start-up, he didn’t consider venture capital (VC) firms but approached well-known angel investor Kanwaljit Singh. With an unproven technology and hardly a business model to speak of, he still succeeded in getting the funding. On the other hand, Phaninder Sama, co-founder of Redbus.in, an online bus ticketing site, ran his new business for around three months before making a venture capital pitch.

He and his partners skipped the angel step altogether. They, too, got the money. In fact, the new image acquired by the VC connection helped them hire high-class talent. Two entrepreneurs. Two radically opposite strategies. And both are happy with their respective choices today. So, how does one tell whether a new business should go in for angel investment or venture capital funding? It is indeed a crucial choice for a small company, because if an entrepreneur is not yet ready for venture capital, it is pointless to waste time pitching the business to VCs and more profitable to approach an angel.

Angel investors, often, are successful entrepreneurs themselves, fondly reliving their early struggles and wanting to mentor young minds. Some think of investments in start-ups as a way to give back to society. Others, who left India and made it big in the West, want to shrink the country’s economic growth curve with the stimulus their money would bring to entrepreneurship. Thus, they are driven first by the beauty of new ideas and only then, by return on investment. They can put in as little as a few lakhs of rupees to as much as several crores.

Venture capital funds, on the contrary, are professionally-driven enterprises which pool in resources from their investors and channel them into ideas that are more likely to succeed. They often look for a proven, or at least a well thought-out business model, cash flow, management bandwidth and so on. They also look to invest a sizeable amount of money, say a few million dollars. “By default, you would always want to go in for VC,” Suvir Sujan, a venture capitalist with Nexus India Capital and a former angel investor, said. “VCs can get you further with capital. With an angel, you could get stuck, because there is only so much funding an angel can provide. After all, he is just one individual.

The VC offers the stability of an institution.” However, an angel would be the option when VCs are telling you it is too early to invest in your company, he added. Venture capital funds can be of immense help in building a company to maturity, after the business has cleared the initial hurdle of getting on the track. In an increasingly globalised world, marketing and hiring the best talent can be expensive and large investments are called for in the growth stage. Angel investors don’t have the financial muscle to shepherd their investee companies beyond a point.

NSE 5762.75 +128.15
BSE 19363.19 +359.93

After opening on a high note this morning, the market retreated a bit within the next few minutes as stocks found some resistance at higher levels. However, it recovered rather swiftly and kept moving ahead as the session progressed with the firm trend on the Asian bourses and buoyant GDP growth keeping the bulls fairly engaged right till the end.

Mirroring the upbeat mood, the Sensex, which opened with a positive gap of over 130 points at 19,136.12 and hit a high of 19,424.99 in late afternoon trade, ended with a strong gain of 359.93 points or 1.89% at 19,363.19. The Nifty index of the National Stock Exchange closed with a gain of 2.27% or 108.15 points at 5762.75, around 20 points down from its intra-day high of 5782.55.
Thanks to the extremely positive sentiment, only Hindustan Unilever (down 1.45%), Ambuja Cements (down 0.85%), Bajaj Auto (down 0.55%) and BHEL (down 0.25%) among the Sensex components ended in the negative territory today.

Among Nifty stocks, GlaxoSmithKline Pharma (down 3.4%), Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (down 2.85%) and Hero Honda (down 2.6%) lost significant ground. Strong and widespread was the surge that all the sectoral indices closed with sharp gains today. The Metal index, which moved up by 5.09%, was the biggest gainer followed by the Realty barometer, which surged 3.94%. The Bankex, IT, Oil & Gas and Teck indices gained 2.5% - 2.75%. Mirroring the gains posted by power stocks, the Power index climbed up 2.13%.

The Consumer Durables, Capital Goods, FMCG and PSU indices went up by 1% - 1.75% while the Auto and Healthcare indices firmed up by 0.92% and 0.91% respectively. With several stocks from the midcap space vaulting higher, the Midcap index shot up by 2.28%. The BSE Smallcap index, not missing out on the rally, ended stronger by 1.31%.

Realty stock DLF ended as the biggest gainer from the Sensex for the first ever time. The stock, which made it to the Sensex pack recently, closed with a big gain of 7.05% at Rs 943.90.
Reliance Energy powered up by 4.5%. Tata Consultancy Services gained 3.85%. HDFC rallied 3.6%. Satyam Computer Services gained 3.4%. Tata Steel moved up by nearly 3% to Rs 825.70.

Know About: Dalal street, Wall Street

Dalal Street

Dalal Street (Marathi: दलाल - Dalāl means a broker, or dealer) in downtown Mumbai, India is the location of the Bombay Stock Exchange (in the Phiroze Jeejeebhoy Towers) and several related financial firms and institutions. When Bombay Stock Exchange was moved to this new location at the intersection of Bombay Samāchār Marg, Hammam Street, the street next to the building was renamed as Dalal Street. Similar to Wall Street in New York City, it is often used as a synonym for the Indian financial establishment in general.

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Wall Street

Wall Street is a city street in lower Manhattan in New York City in the United States. It runs east from Broadway downhill to South Street on the East River, through the historical center of the Financial District. Wall Street was the first permanent home of the New York Stock Exchange, and over time Wall Street became the name of the surrounding geographic neighborhood.[1] Wall Street is also shorthand (or a metonym) for "influential financial interests" in the U.S.[2] as well as for the financial industry in the New York City area.
Several major U.S. stock and other exchanges remain headquartered on Wall Street and in the Financial District, including the NYSE, NASDAQ, AMEX, NYMEX, and NYBOT. Many New York-based financial firms are no longer headquartered on Wall Street, but are in midtown Manhattan, the outer boroughs of the city, Long Island, Westchester County, Fairfield County, Connecticut, or New Jersey.

K.V. Kamath is Forbes Asia bizman of the year : Sify.Com

Kamath is Forbes Asia bizman of the year
The m-cap of ICICI swelled to $31 b under his stewardship.


K.V. Kamath, CEO, ICICI Bank, has been named Businessman of the Year for 2007 by Forbes Asia for his steadiness at steering ICICI Bank into one of Asia's top banks. Under Kamath's watch since 1996, the market capitalisation of ICICI Bank has moved up to over $31 billion (Rs 1.25 lakh crore as on November 28) placing it among the region's top 10 banks.

"By this measure, it is bigger than Singapore's DBS Group and Korea's Kookmin Bank, and has attracted big stakeholders such as Singapore's Temasek Holdings and CLSA and Merrill Lynch funds," a press release issued by Forbes said.

Sixty-year old Kamath's win puts him in the company of Nandan Nilekani of Infosys Technologies, last year's winner, and Ratan Tata, the 2004 businessman of the year.
His addition means three Indian executives have won the accolade in the last four years. Tim Ferguson, Editor, Forbes Asia, said: "Kamath's leadership has been outstanding. His focus on serving India's growing middle class by providing first world banking service at affordable prices is largely the reason behind the phenomenal growth of ICICI."

The bank's assets have grown 40 per cent annually in the last three years propelled by a boom in consumer credit where ICICI Bank has a dominant one-third market share.

Sensex settles with a modest gain : Sify.com


Taking cues from global markets which had surged higher on expectations of a rate cut, equities opened on a high note on the major Indian bourses this morning, and, due to heavy short-covering in the derivatives segment ahead of expiry of November series contracts, remained high up in the positive zone till about an hour to go for the closing bell.

However, due to a fairly strong bout of selling in a few blue chip stocks, the benchmark indices Sensex and Nifty gave up a significant portion of their gains in the end. Bank, oil and realty stocks closed with smart gains. Information technology stocks, which had a bright spell today, closed well off their intra-day highs due to strong resistance during the fag end of the day.
Auto stocks too surrendered most of their gains. Power, healthcare and capital goods stocks met with profit taking. Selling was evident in late afternoon trade in midcap and smallcap segments as well.

While the Sensex, which opened with a huge positive gap of over 350 points at 19,290.67, ended the session with a modest gain of 64.39 points or 0.34% at 19,003.26, the Nifty settled at 5634.60, well off its high of 5725, with a gain of 0.3% or 17.05 points. Till around mid afternoon, only a few stocks among the Sensex components, were seen struggling to make a headway. However, when trade ended for the day, as many as 14 stocks from the Sensex pack had drifted down into the red. Among them, Bajaj Auto (down 4.65%), Ranbaxy Laboratories (down 2.65%), Reliance Energy (down 2.35%) and Tata Steel (down 2%) were the worst hit.

Reliance Communications, Hindalco and BHEL eased by 1.95%, 1.85% and 1.35% respectively. ITC, HDFC, ONGC and Larsen & Toubro lost 0.5% - 1%. Cipla and Grasim Industries lost marginal ground. Banking sector heavyweights HDFC Bank (4.3%), ICICI Bank (3.15%) and State Bank of India (0.8%) closed with sharp gains.

Reliance Industries firmed up by 1.15%. Automobile stocks Maruti Suzuki (2.5%) and Mahindra & Mahindra (1.5%) ended on a firm note. Hindustan Unilever, Bharti Airtel, Ambuja Cements, NTPC, DLF and Tata Motors closed with modest gains. IT stocks Wipro, Satyam Computer Services, Tata Consultancy Services and Infosys Technologies ended with very small gains.

Reliance Petroleum flared up 12.25% on hectic short-covering. On the National Stock Exchange, the Reliance Petroleum counter clocked a huge volume of 176.59 million shares today. At nearly Rs 3625 crore, RPL's contribution to the turnover on NSE today was quite significant.
