It's Goodbye Chindia and Hello Chimerica | Swaminathan S. Anklesaria Aiyar | Cato Institute: Commentary
It's Goodbye Chindia and Hello Chimerica Swaminathan S. Anklesaria Aiyar Cato Institute: Commentary
For some time, we have been discussing about China and India - Chindia in terms of Dr Manmohan Singh's focus on making our Mumbai as like Shanghai. However, the fat reports on making Mumbai an India's International Finance Centre have not yet materialised. Now, I come across another concept of comparing or combining of China and America with a new word - Chimerica - which is very very interesting.

Private Equity Funding in India
Private Equity Industry in India
About four years back, when I was in Alliance Business School, Bangalore I wrote a Conference Paper on this issue with dr K S Srinivasa Rao as co-author for an International Conference on Business & Finance organised by AIMS International at Hyderabad. Our paper on Private Equity was included in the Conference Proceedings published and uploaded in their website for next three years Conferences in India and abroad. Precisely, we expressed our view that there is no law, guidelines, or norms for PE in India vis-a-vis Venture Capital Financing. It is appreciated that after four-five years, SEBI is contemplating to oversee this important financial activitity.

TAPMI Admissions 2011 : GD / PIs
TAPMI GD/PIs from Pagalguy.com
It was the second year in success that TAPMI Faculty travelled to Delhi, Calcutta, Mumbai, Hyderabad and Bangalore besides the Headquarters - Manipal for conducting GD/PIs as part of Admissions process. Even though it is time taking, expensive and tedious for the Institute to move around, TAPMI has become conscious of the industry practices and competition as also the aspirations / expectations and difficulties of the candidates in facing many entrance exams like CAT, MAT, XAT, GMAT, IBSAT, NMAT, SNAP, etc and once selected / shortlisted to appear several interviews when shortlisted.
The Faculty have their own expectations and experiences. It is necessary that an even balance is struck between these two parties - viz., the teachers and taught in a twenty-first century competitive environment. The students (also a majority of working executives switching over to management education after three to five years of experience) would like to take maximum advantage of all the best of things / offerings.
Here is a link that gives narrations written by the candidates in the pagalguy platform. Some times, it is revealing and throws up a host of facts and figures as also certain good or bad features of the selection processes each of the B-Schools adopt. We should compliment the contributors that they take enough time to recall the stages, announcements, arrangements, deliberations and interview questions / answers.

Away from Manipal
From the 1st April onwards I have been away from Manipal on Official work. First, it was Kolkata, where we had GD/PIs for TAPMI's admissions process of 2011-13 batch. We stayed in Pallavi International Hotel and held the GDs in DBS - both in Hungerford Street. Little bit of outing was possible one two days, even when it was raining on 4th evening and 5th morning.... Four Alumni too associated with the process. Only miserable experience we had was with the Jet Airways on the 1st night. When travelling through from Mangalore to Kolkata via Mumbai, the baggage of all the ten passengers was wrongly forwarded to Delhi. It took hell lot of tension, time and arguements with Jet Office staff to locate them and get back by mid night.
We shifted to Mumbai on the 5th and commenced the work on 6th. Business as usual, though. Parallelly, another group headed by Dr Saji Gopinath, Director was handling GDs in Delhi centre for four days. We need to go through the pagalguy.com to know the candidates feed-back and experiences / observations.
