Whos hot and not: Captains of Indian industry speak : ET

Who's hot & not: Captains of Indian industry speak

As 2007 comes to a close, India Inc wants to close all the chapters that were opened through the year. It, however, doesn’t want to forget the message each chapter held for it. But carry it to the New Year. SundayET commissioned a survey to global research firm, Synovate, to take a peek into the mind of corporate India. And corporate captains impressively turned out to be more global than the Indian themselves.

Infrastructure and education are the two big issues that majority of CEOs are willing to put their wager on. As many as 45% of Indian CEOs reckon infrastructure will be by far the biggest sector to watch out for in 2007 followed by retail (19%). IT & telecom remain the third big sector in the coming year with 14% CEOs voting for it. Much of this is backed by a full-blown debate raging over the inevitability of the sector for a speedier economic and industrial growth and the retail boom resonating all around. There’s an increasing feeling amongst all industry captains in India and abroad that opportunities the country offers within infrastructure and its allied sectors such as energy, software and telecommunications, are tremendous. Education and media & entertainment are others crucial sectors that cross the mind of 8% CEOs each.

Infrastructure may be an issue more specific to India, but Indian CEOs sound unison with their global counterparts in their concern for global warming and M&A, private equity, e-governance and other such issues. A 33% of CEOs polled cite global warming as the biggest concern in 2007 — in line with the global sentiments. Rest of the CEOs were clearly divided in their assessment of the biggest concern during the coming year with 19% and 18% noting inflation and fall of the UPA government as the biggest concern for 2007, respectively.

Others feel terrorism, talent crunch and natural calamities could also spoil the party for India Inc. Interestingly, most of the 125 corporate chiefs seemed to keep a wary eye on the political saga that might unfold during the year. This could be in the wake of ongoing differences amongst the biggest UPA allies — Congress and CPM — over the Indo-US nuclear deal. As many as 72% CEOs believe General Elections would be ushered in earlier than its scheduled 2009.

While 10% expect the election to be held early 2008, 30% and 32% feel they will happen in mid and late next year, respectively. Little wonder then 36% of the business leaders expect General Elections to be the biggest event to look out for in 2008. There were other 26% who feel that the launch of Tata’s one lakh car would be the big event and another 22% who point at Indo-US deal to be the landmark event for the next year. There’s a good news for the business environment in the country if CEO assessments are anything to go by. A buoyant stockmarket seems to have raised hopes amongst them. An overwhelming majority (55%) of the CEOs polled feel the Sensex will hover within 20,000-30,000 range, though there’s a small overzealous section (11%) that feels it could pierce 30,000 mark. The rest paint a more modest scenario with 29% CEOs saying the Sensex would remain within the 10,000-20,000 range.

Real estate and stocks remain the top choice for a significant sections of respondents. While 48% CEOs voted for the former as the best bet for investment in 2008, 23% said it would be stocks. Mutual fund has reasonable believers with 15% people calling it a good bet in 2008. FDI, joint ventures and M&As will continue to be hot currency in 2008, pretty much as in the current year. Almost 22% of CEOs believe FDI will maintain its momentum, 19% say M&As will remain in the news. Much of this sense may have come from big ticket M&As that have hit the headlines in the current year and the manner in which India Inc has pulled off some high profile acquisitions on the global platform. The trend is far from over for most CEOs polled.

However, amidst this exuberance, there’s a significant section which believes e-governance (17%) and inclusive growth (10%) will be hotly debated currency in 2008. The expectations from the Union Budget 2008 evoked a varied response from the CEOs whose biggest expectations ranged from higher allocations for health and education (30%) to exemption in income tax (29%). There are evenly divided groups that has sops for exports and lower duties as the biggest expectations from the government in 2008. While the bunch of CEOs contacted may have been divided on their expectations from the Budget, there was a clear tilt towards Reliance Industries as the company to watch out for in 2008. While as many as 43% of corporate heads polled Reliance Industries as the company to watch out for, 53% believe that Mukesh Ambani could be the businessman of 2008 followed by 26% for Ratan Tata.

Reliance Communications and Tata Motors followed as the second and third in companies to watch out for list. The skew in the survey begins to stand out as the question moves out of the business domain. An overwhelming majority (58%) of the CEOs polled feel Rahul Gandhi will be the newsmaker of 2008 followed by 29% for M S Dhoni. However, when the query focused on sports alone, Dhoni ruled amongst the CEOs. As many as 66% bet on him as the sportsperson to watch out for in the coming year. And that says a lot about popularity of cricket amongst the CEOs, although it’s golf that is strongly associated with them.

India likely to remain the hot pick for world : ET

India likely to remain the hot pick for world

In the age of globalisation, saying no to foreign money is almost unheard of. But in a rare instance, the Indian government led by finance minister Palaniappan Chidambaram has been campaigning hard to curb foreign inflows into the Indian market. After all, foreign money has been relentlessly chasing the Indian growth story. Out of the $68 billion that foreign institutional investors (FIIs) have been pumping into India, as high as $16 billion have entered into the Indian market this year alone. Even in foreign direct investments (FDIs), about $30 billion is expected to land up in India, up from last year’s $19 billion, including reinvested earnings. The forex reserves have been surging, and it has crossed $270 billion.

By now, the India story is fairly well known to the rest of the world. A trillion-dollar economy with a GDP growth rate of 9% or so, India has been the hot favourite among emerging markets, thanks to its strong fundamentals, transparent policy framework and vibrant corporate sector. Yet, the highs of 2007 could result in major challenges in the year 2008. The big question here is whether India will be able to grow at the same pace while coping up with unprecedented phenomena such as appreciating rupee against dollar, flooding of foreign capital in a few select sectors, lack of capacity building in infrastructure sector and above all, unforeseen political turmoil emerging from a pre-poll milieu.

ADB’s managing director, General Rajat M Nag feels that no one doubts India’s growth story by now. What’s needed is a massive outlay in infrastructure. “The needs are huge, and the fiscal space is limited. As a sizeable amount of public resources has to be spent on education, health and other social sectors, public-private partnership (PPP) is crucial for infrastructure sector,” he says. For Mr Nag, the shortage of power and lack of power reforms in the country could play a spoilsport for India story in 2008 and beyond.

According to ADB’s estimates, India requires $700 to $800 billion of investment in infrastructure in the next five years, which is substantially higher than the estimates made by the Planning Commission. Prof Raj Raina of Gordon Institute of Business Science, University of Pretoria, in South Africa, says that India will keep its growth story in tact for 2008 and beyond. “That India is now determined to build its infrastructure is itself a positive sign.

No country in the world will spend so much money in infrastructure for the next five years as India is planning today. I am sure that India will maintain 9% plus GDP growth rate in the years to come,” he says. Yes, the spending on infrastructure itself could be a big driver of growth for 2008 and beyond. According to Planning Commission estimates, $145 billion or 30% of the total investment in infrastructure will come from the private sector. The growth of PPP framework in India will enable many infrastructure companies to increase its size and scale in the coming years.

Brand Reliance rules over Indian bourses: ET

Brand Reliance rules over Indian bourses

Just about 30 years on bourses, and yet the Reliance brand is ruling over the 125-year-old Indian stock market, while the year 2007 saw this dominance further growing with its size nearly tripling against less than doubling of the overall market. The two Reliance groups, run separately by the two Ambani brothers, added Rs 5 trillion to their market value of Rs 3.4 trillion at the end of 2006. This is a lion's share in the overall rise of Rs 34 trillion in the total market cap, considering the thousands of listed companies in India.

Interestingly, the surge came despite the financial crisis in global markets, a sharp volatility and the market regulator SEBI adopting extra vigilance on foreign inflows, a key force behind Indian markets' buoyancy in the recent past. Earning the distinction of being one of the fastest growing markets that held the overseas investors in a trance, the bourses also recorded many a milestone such as peaking at over 20,000 points, crossing seven thousand-point marks and the fastest 1,000 point rally, in just four days.

The markets also proved wrong all the experts by demonstrating unprecedented rallies that made lakhs of crores for investors or dried them out in the course of just a few trading seasons. At the same time, market leader Ambanis continued to demonstrate that they were a cut above the rest. The belief seemed something like this, Let the hell break loose or heavens fall, the two brothers could do no wrong for investors and they rightly showed so. The 170 per cent surge in the Reliance market value to Rs 8.4 trillion was much higher than a 92 per cent rise in the total market cap from nearly Rs 36 trillion to over Rs 70 trillion.

Today, the two Ambani groups account for more than 11 per cent of the total market value, against just an iota when Reliance entered the bourses early in 1978. The surge has been of 80,000 times in the Ambanis' market value since then, when it stood at just Rs 10 crore, which is 8 times faster than a jump of about 10,000 times in overall market size, which was about Rs 7,000 crore 30 years ago. All this has been happening when the relations between the two brothers were deteriorating and their names were mentioned in news together only if there was a bout brewing between them.

So much so, the Anil Ambani group shot up a complaint to SEBI charging top officials of Mukesh-led Reliance Industries of sabotaging its group company Reliance Power's upcoming IPO, touted as the biggest ever to hit the market, The bitter battle was even called a blessing in disguise for investors, with market watchers saying that one up-manship between the two was egging them on to grow faster and faster. During 2007, Mukesh-led Reliance Industries (RIL) further extended its market position while becoming the first Indian company to attain a 100-billion dollar market capitalisation. RIL was given a good company in the upsurge not only by the companies belonging to his other group companies such as Reliance Petroleum and those from Anil's camp, but also from traditional conglomerates like Tatas and companies run by new-age entrepreneurs like K P Singh and Sunil Mittal.

As the year drew to an end, conglomerate Tatas held on to their position as the second most valued group, followed by the Anil Ambani group. However, there was not a real challenge to market leader RIL whose appreciation in the year at over Rs 3,00,000 crore was equivalent to the total size of the Anil Ambani group or the Tata group, the two nearest rivals.
