Shahnawaz Hussain registers a convincing victory in Lok Sabha by-elections from Bhagalpur

IIPM MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
He is the first Muslim to have been elected to the Lok Sabha on a BJP ticket twice. Syed Shahnawaz Hussain, the former Union Civil Aviation Minister has seen it all – crowning glory and a near political oblivion – at a young age of 38. He might have lost the 2004 Parliament elections from his home constituency Kishanganj, Bihar – with almost 70% Muslim population – only to win the recent Bhagalpur Parliament by-election handsomely – defeating RJD rival, Shakuni Chaudhury by over 50,000 votes.

He has contested for the Lok Sabha four times and won twice. After 16 years in the BJP, Shahnawaz doesn’t represent Hindutva as much, though he has a Hindu wife. “I offer namaz five times a day”, he says, “and I celebrate both Eid and Diwali with equal fervour”. Shahnawaz is the Muslim voice in BJP. As Civil Aviation Minister, he increased Haj subsidy quota though his own party opposed it saying Hindus should also be given subsidy for Kailash Mansarovar yatra. Belonging to the Sunni sect, he claims to represent over 160 million Muslims in India. But, sometimes he feels bitter about his own community.

The Ruias are eager to regain their lost glory
The story goes like this – an entrepreneur by heart, Nand Kishore Ruia moved to Bombay in 1956 leaving behind a well established (since 1800s) family trading business in Rajasthan to begin his independent business entity – Essar Group. But the untimely demise of Nand Kishore, put his sons Shashi Ruia (below) & Ravi Ruia in charge of the company. And as Chairman & Vice-Chairman of the company, both brothers have guided the group to new heights.

The company faced massive problems during the liberalization period due to a downturn in capital intensive industries. Undeterred by the ramifi cations, the Essar Group saw resurgence by diversifying into emerging sectors. Their early start in the sunrise telecom sector in partnership with Hong Kong-based Hutchison has made Essar a key player amongst Indian telecom service providers under the brand name Hutch. Apart from this, the Essar Group was a pioneer in the field of power & steel technology. The Group established the country’s first independent power plant and first new generation private steel plant. Currently, they operate the world’s largest gas-based hot briquetted iron plant with a production capacity of 3.5 million tones per annum. Shashi Ruia states that he wants to make Essar “one of India’s premium producers and exporters of steel.”

With initiatives like the telecom foray taken in the post liberalisation era paying off handsomely under the current booming economic scenario, the Ruia brothers are now fast rising from the slump that hit them in late 1990s, which eventually led to their defaulting on payments to debtors. After paying off their debts, they are looking forward to expand their steel, shipping, power and oil & gas businesses.

The third generation is coming to play now. While the elder of Shashi Ruia’s two sons, Prashant has taken over steel, shipping & power division, his brother Anshuman is now steering telecom & construction business. One thing these junior Ruias have inherited is the risk-taking approach that runs in the family. Surely, the adage ‘Once bitten twice shy’ is not applicable in the case of the Ruias. But then, business was never the realm of the weak-hearted either.

IIPM : Making India proud!

IIPM MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE
A glance at the India Inc. and one would be amazed to unearth that majority of big business powerhouses are carrying on the legacy of their generationold businesses. But there are some companies that have created their own niche solely on the basis of entrepreneurial capabilities. Leading this brigade of entrepreneurs is the Videocon Group, piloted by the legendary Venugopal Dhoot. Son of a wealthy farmer, Dhoot saw an opportunity in Colour TV (CTV) manufacturing and became one of the first contenders, when government decided to grant the licenses to manufacture CTV’s in 1984. Gradually, Videocon diversified and expanded its product portfolio with segments like Home Entertainment, Electric Motors, Air Conditioners and Refrigerators. While it has a technical collaboration with Toshiba Corp, Samsung Electronics, Matsushita Electric and Techneglas, the companies like Hyundai Electronics, Akai, Sansui Electric Co. and Electrolux AB are the Original Design Manufacturers (ODM’s) for Videocon in India. Consequently, the company enjoys a pre-eminent position in terms of sales and customer satisfaction.

Foot-tapping expansions...

IIPM PUBLICATION
Catching on fast to the latest trend in the industry, premium footwear brand, Red Tape, recently launched casuals and lounge-wear. The company plans to open as many as 50 retail outlets by 2006. Talking about the company’s plan, Shuja Mirza, VP (Marketing), Red Tape explains, “We want to be a fashion brand and that’s not possible if you sell only shoes.”

The Tatas too were not to be left behind and have struck a deal with German shoe-maker Lloyd in addition to the recent opening of a showroom in Mumbai. And if the ambitions of shoes companies are escalating, then apparel bigwigs too are not losing out on the change drive to complete their product basket with other offerings. Quite recently, Madura Garment forayed into the footwear market with ranges coined after their popular brands like Peter England, Louis Phillipe, Allen Solly and Van Heusen et al. In the same league, Arvind brands is cashing in on the shoe segment with their brands Nautica and Gant.

Well, as each player tries to expand its portfolio offered, it will not be surprising to witness all the current well-known garment brands establish more taglines in the near future in search of more variety & revenues.
