“Star has put all its eggs in the Balaji basket and created a brand bigger than itself.”

While, competition will surely go through the roof as also the options, it is specially NDTV and INX which are being closely watched. Reason? Paritosh admits, “...both (Sameer & Peter) know the genres and value chains in which Star operates and have a great network themselves.” If they could once help Star scale the heights that it did, what stops them from repeating the feat!

But, all is not lost.

Star Plus’ sister channel Star One is doing well, and it has some popular properties like Koffee with Karan, Antakshari, The Great Indian Laughter Challenge (hugely marketed), et al, to boast. “Star One’s weekend programming is quite strong, now you will see efforts to strengthen its weekday line-up,” says Vidyasagar. Moreover, to control the damage caused by the exodus, a major restructuring has taken place at Star India. Star News’ CEO Uday Shankar has taken over as the Chief Executive of Star India and Sanjay Jain has been appointed the CFO, among others.

Tortillas – Uncle Sam’s


The chaos that derives from the socalled international order can be painful if you are on the receiving end of the power that determines that order’s structure. Even tortillas come into play in the ungrand scheme of things. Recently, in many regions of Mexico, tortilla prices jumped by more than 50%. In January, in Mexico City, tens of thousands of workers and farmers rallied in the Zocalo, the city’s central square, to protest the skyrocketing cost of tortillas.

In response, President Felipe Calderon cut a deal with Mexican producers & retailers to limit the price of tortillas & corn fl our, very likely a temporary expedient. In part the price-hike threat to the food staple for Mexican workers and the poor is what we might call the ethanol effect – a consequence of the US stampede to cornbased ethanol as an energy substitute for oil, whose major wellsprings, of course, are in regions that even more grievously defy international order. In the United States, too, the ethanol effect has raised food prices over a broad range, including other crops, livestock and poultry.

The Bounty Hunter

Mention the name Electrolux and you would be instantly reminded of all that this company failed to achieve in India. Despite having been up there with the fi rst movers in the business, Electrolux was quite swept away by the Korean tide. But interestingly, Electrolux President & CEO Hans Straberg seems quite unperturbed and claims that Electrolux is anything but written off . A meeting with Straburg leaves one quite impressed by his equanimity, clarity of vision & aboveboard demeanour. One can well imagine the intense pressures involved with being at the helm of a Fortune 500 company that’s just been through a massive reorganisation. Yet, Straberg seems to be geared up for the challenges in every way.
