Building Material-HIL, Visaka Industries, Everest Industries

Modi wave is taking us along. He said “Swatch Bharat” and whole country lifted brooms. Big corporate houses announced big plans for bringing cleanliness in villages under their CSR activities. We are counting sanitryware companies to be the biggest beneficiaries of this (Our HSIL is doing great, it is at 415/- from our price of Rs. 90/-). But we just forget the humble cement fibre sheets because every toilet made in villages or town is going to use these. We can’t forget the rocket…E-commerce sector…which is going to create huge investments in warehousing which is also about cement fibre sheets.…

E commerce-Beyond Portals and Logistics …Companies Covered–Rupa & Co., Borosil Glass works Ltd, Redington India, Future Retail

I am always of the view that sometimes user of a product or service derives more profits/business than producer of that product or service-just like pharma sector where many companies invest huge sums of money and time for developing a new medicine or product. Only one or two of those will succeed. But a hospital can harness their success for its benefit much better and longer than them. It doesn’t matter for a hospital, who invented the medicine…it can simply use the same irrespective of the producer. The risk of production is only for the producer. I can see the…

GIL’s standalone business is chemical which deals primarily in Oleo chemicals like fatty acids, fatty alcohol, Glycerin and surfactants . These are chemicals derived from plant and animal fats. GIL was the first in india to…

What we drink in the name of whisky is nothing but neutral spirit extracted from molasses (By product of sugar) which is then blended with imported malt and grain scotch whiskies to get the flavor and colour of whisky. In india, they have given it a very funny name; Indian Made foreign Liquor (IMFL) which comprises Whisky, Beer, Vodka, Brandy, Rum etc. In foreign countries, Indian whisky gets the tag of rum as it is…

Death a contemplation-3rd

This is the third post in the series. Kindly read the first two at the following links: Death-a contemplation-1st Death-a Contemplation-2nd Why there is so much darkness here around everything? We, in spite of our desperate efforts to understand something of this process life, are just having huge numbers of opinions…of which we are sure of nothing. If life is for living for a purpose then why there is death? What is the purpose? Most of it… why this mystery is still unsolved? Why so much darkness? It seems that with our untiring efforts, we should have it solved if…
