Inspiring story of a blind Indian MBA

Inspiring story of a blind Indian MBA

Years ago as an NMIMS Mumbai student, during placements a corporate house told Ashish Goyal to find himself a job in the government sector, since it has a quota system for the physically challenged. Having turned blind in his teens because of an eye condition called retinitis pigmentosa, Ashish did not take the advice lightly.
He not only got himself placed at ING Vysya but also stood second in his batch at NMIMS. Later, Ashish went on to do an MBA from the Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia.
Today, the Mumbai boy has a plum job at JP Morgan's London operations.
Over the years, Ashish has not only earned milestones in his professional space but also done plenty in his personal life -- from learning to play Brazilian drums and learning the Argentine tango to boxing and performing on stage, besides many other things.

Get Ahead read Nisha Agrawal, a software engineer from Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, in response to our reader invite (below) sent us this snippety review of the best smartphones India saw in 2010.
With the 3G roll out just around the corner, it's the perfect time to run through some of the top tier smartphones currently available in the market.
2010 has been witness to a splash of smartphones, from polished packaging to sheer power packed diversity, and the honest truth is -- ssmartphones have never been this good.
Though there is something I like about each and every phone out there, there is a handful that I think are simply amazing.
What follows is a list of my preferred smartphones of the year, come on, let's get cracking.



iPhone 4


Apple iPhone 4

It isn't news no more that in the world of smartphones, there's Apple and then there is everybody else. This statement holds quite true as the iPhone provides the most smooth user experience for a smart phone, mainly due to the fact that everything on and inside the iPhone is created, written by Apple.
Their latest offering, the iPhone 4 is one super sleek gadget -- with features like a super-fast A4 CPU, a new front-facing camera and five megapixel shooter on the back, a completely new industrial design, and that outrageous Retina Display.
IOS4 attempts to fill the missing gaps in iPhone 3G S and I must say it does that quite successfully with loads of new features, most notably multitasking -- as Apple calls it, a video calling feature dubbed FaceTime, folders to organise apps, enhanced Mail and the popular iMovie app especially for the iPhone 4.
A definite pick for the Apple diehards and those looking to experience super graphics and an even better smartphone experience, it comes in two sizes, 16GB and 32GB.
Full list of iPhone 4 features and other details can be found here (http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_iphone/family/iphone).

MFs woo distributors with higher payouts

Small AMCs are competing with their large counterparts to lure distributors to sell their schemes. According to an industry source, small and midsized fund houses, which are striving to build an equity asset base, are promising higher commissions to distributors. ‘Satyam Sivam Sundaram Mutual Fund’ and ‘Priceless Mutual Fund’ are offering commission in excess of 1.5% to select distributors, who are selling their funds and new fund offers. This is in addition to the trail fees paid by the asset managers to distributors.

More mid-cap stocks face selling pressure

Investors dumped shares of companies, where market operator Vimal Rathod is rumoured to be active on Wednesday. The news about Intelligence Bureau suspecting him of rigging stock prices of Ruchi Soya, KS Oils, Karuturi Global and IRB Infra triggered the fall. Company shares, named by the intelligence agency, fell 9-27% on Wednesday. Shares of Sujana Towers , Hanung Toys and Neha International also fell to their lowest permissible trading limit on speculation Rathod has been active in these stocks. These stocks, however, were not named by the Intelligence Bureau.

Operators try to boost sentiment after scam

Operators have been trying to boost sentiment in shares of Hindustan Construction Company (HCC) after the company was named in the ‘bribes-for-loan’ scam. Operators have been sending bulk emails and text messages to restart interest in the stock. The email recommends investors to buy the stock, as it is being accumulated by “strong hands”. The operator group expects the stock to touch Rs 400 in a few years’ time. Analysts tracking the company, however, have a different story to tell. “The company is bound tight in legal tangles; we’ll have to wait for the court’s decision on Lavasa, which is expected on December 16. The company’s revenues have not grown over the past two years,” said an analyst tracking the company. Shares of HCC fell 3% to Rs 44.40 on Wednesday.

Heard on the Street: Hexaware, UFlex 



Hexaware gains 14% as FIIs lap up shares

Shares of Hexaware Technologies surged 14% to Rs 100.10, sup-ported by 29 times its 2-week average traded volumes. The buzz is that foreign institutional investor “Kala Patthar” bought a sizeable chunk of the stock. Brokers said institutional investors have been ac-cumulating shares of mid-sized software companies over the past few trading sessions. The company’s second quarter results exceeded Street expectations, with revenues expanding 20% to Rs 112.39 crore.

Institutions reduce exposure to UFlex

Institutional investors trimmed exposure to shares of packaging firm UFlex on Tuesday, after the CBI special court sentenced its CMD Ashok Chaturvedi to a four-year imprisonment in connection with the Noida land scam. The stock was frozen at a lower circuit of 20% at Rs 194.95. Dealers said “Ellora” Capital and a domestic broking firm founded by a former BSE president were heavy sellers in the stock. Both firms had a “buy” recommendation on the stock. The stock has rallied after its September quarter results exceeded market expectations. The net profit for the company more than trebled to Rs 79.29 crore while revenues rose by 16% to Rs 568.10 crore, according to the company’s filing on the BSE. However, in the past few weeks, investors have booked profits on worries about the rise in Chinese imports.
