Know About: China Mobile, Vodafone

China Mobile

China Mobile Communications Corporation (Chinese: 中国移动通信, Hanyu Pinyin: Zhōngguó Yídòng Tōngxìn) (SEHK: 0941, NYSE: CHL), also known as China Mobile or CMCC, is the largest mobile phone operator in China. It is the world's largest mobile phone operator ranked by number of subscribers, with over 349.66 million customers [1] (as of end of September, 2007). By turnover it is second to Vodafone, which owns 3.3% of China Mobile. It is now the largest market capital company listed in the Hong Kong Stock Exchange, which exceeds that of HSBC. China Mobile is also fifth in the BrandZ ranking. A state-owned enterprise of the People's Republic of China government, it was spun off from former monopoly China Telecom in 1997, and now has a 67.5% share of the competitive mainland Chinese mobile market. China Mobile also owns Paktel in Pakistan. China Mobile is the largest company registered in Hong Kong and it is headquartered on Queen's Road.

Vodafone

Vodafone Group Plc is a mobile network operator headquartered in Newbury, Berkshire, England, UK. It is the largest mobile telecommunications network company in the world by turnover and has a market value of about £84.7 billion (July 2007). Vodafone currently has equity interests in 27 countries and Partner Networks (networks in which it has no equity stake) in a further 40 countries. The name Vodafone comes from Voice data fone, chosen by the company to "reflect the provision of voice and data services over mobile phones."[1]
At 31 January 2007 Vodafone had 200 million proportionate customers in 27 markets across 5 continents.[2] ("Proportionate customers" means, for example, that if Vodafone has a 30% stake in a business with a million customers, that is counted as 300,000). On this measure it is the second largest mobile telecom group in the world behind China Mobile. The eight markets where it has more than ten million proportionate customers are the United Kingdom, Germany, India, Italy, Spain, Turkey, Egypt and the United States. In the U.S., these customers come via its minority stake in Verizon Wireless, and in the other seven markets Vodafone has majority-controlled subsidiaries.

Most Respected Companies Survey : BusinessWorld

Most Respected Companies Survey

Financial success or altruism alone is not enough to command respect. Indian companies are trying to strike the right balance.
JEHANGIR S. POCHA
Some sitting atop rickety buses, some cramped together in cabs, some perched precariously on overloaded rickshaws, and others walking cheerfully in groups through sun-burnt streets. The annual general meeting of Reliance Industries is the Haj many of the company’s million-plus shareholders make with religious zeal — and for good reason. No other company has enriched so many shareholders by so much in India’s history. So it’s significant that ever since BW commissioned the Most Respected Companies survey in 1983, Reliance has never been able to shake off the accusations that plague it and win the crown of respect. If Mukesh Ambani needs any consolation beyond the $10 billion addition in his notional wealth this year, he should consider that one eruption in Singur has been enough to fracture the painstakingly acquired reputation of his rival Ratan Tata’s Tata Motors

India hits second spot on entrepreneur rankings

India hits second spot on entrepreneur rankings

More Indians have been bitten by the entrepreneurial bug than before. About 82 Indian companies made it to the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia-Pacific companies this year, compared with 48 last year.

India tied with South Korea for the second spot for the number of entrepreneurs, according to Steven Dow, programme director, Deloitte Asia-Pacific Regional Office. At the number one spot is Taiwan, which had 99 companies in the Deloitte Technology Fast 500 Asia-Pacific list. Compared to India, China trails behind with only 53 companies, while Japan and Australia have 63 and 62 companies, respectively in the list.

The companies that made it to Technology Fast 50 of India have recorded an average three-year revenue growth of 489%. The top five companies have a collective average three-year revenue growth of 1,637%. The fastest growing company in this list was RateGain IT Solutions, a firm providing technology solutions to travel and hospitality industries. The Technology Fast 50 list was dominated by software companies (52%) followed by communications and networking companies (12%).

The rest were internet communications, biotech and pharma firms. According to a majority of the winners, the factor that contributed most to their growth was entering new markets and expanding their customer base. The biggest operational challenge in maintaining this rapid growth was expectedly, finding, hiring and retaining qualified employees.

For India, more than for Asia Pacific and EMEA, the initial funding was mostly through own efforts and resources rather than through venture capital, angel investors or private equity. But more interestingly, a larger percentage difference was in how companies protected their intellectual property. In India, compared to Asia Pacific and EMEA, more companies protected their IP by training their employees to reduce IP theft as opposed to hiring third party specialists to advise on IP protection.
