igher disposable incomes coupled with improved affordability & availability is
turning masses in to big consumers even in the rural areas. On a recent visit to the
hinterlands in the south, Nitin Paranjpe, CEO of Hindustan Unilever (HUL), was
surprised to spot a packet of Comfort fabric conditioner in a home in one of the hamlets. Fearing
that the consumer may have mistaken fabric conditioner for hair conditioner, the head of India's
largest consumer products company set out to make discreet enquiries. The lady of the household
assured HUL marketers that her purchase was no accident - she revealed that she loved the
fragrance and softness of fabric after rinsing it with the conditioner. Such consumer behavior
opened Hindustan Unilever's eyes to the kind of choices the countries' consumers are making.
Biocon founder, Dr. Kiran Mazumdar Shaw is well aware of the growth the country is witnessing.
She believes that development can still be on a faster track if proper attention is paid on nutritious
food, quality education affordable health care and sustainable employment.
S. Parthasarathy, an alumnus of IIT- Madras is living his role of a guiding star to the IT sector. He has pioneered in offering information
technology solution in form of a perfect fit for small and medium businesses, providing the entrepreneur better visibility in to the
business & helping him in making decisions to stay on top of his business.
N.R. Narayan Murthy, the famous son of a school teacher, built and led country's second largest software export company, Infosys for
33 years & earned it the pride of being the most respected company of the country, recently recalled his journey at Infosys which he
started with his six friends in 1983. His life story should be a confidence booster to every average person that he or she can make at least
a small difference in this world. Murthy, an M.Tech from IIT-Kanpur, with his $ 6 billion IT enterprise has given India strong wings.
Harish Hande, a pass out from IIT- Kharagpur is a renewable energy entrepreneur with extensive grassroots experience in meeting the
energy requirements of rural households. His experience includes a large number of health, education and water related projects; over
500 small rural and urban health clinics, over 1000 rural and semi-urban schools and over 1500 irrigation and drinking water systems.
There is no stopping for those who aspire high. A 17-year-old schoolboy from Noida has achieved a rare double, after being the
youngest Indian to scale Mount Everest; he has ascended its neighboring peak Mt Lhotse. Arjun Vajpayee, a class 12 student of Ryan
International school in Noida, reached atop the 8,516 metre Mt Lhotse, world's fourth highest peak on 21 May 2011.
Arjun became the youngest Indian to climb the world's highest summit, the 8,848 metre high Mt Everest, at the age of 16.
Remember, Progress is often equal to difference between mind and mindset.
It's Better To Light A Candle
Then Curse The Darkness.-a Chinese Proverb

RK VermaM.D., Academic Head & Physics FacultyB.Tech., 1994 (IIT-Madras)
houghts that arise in us manifest themselves into actions. The quality of thought T
is ordered by the nature of our inner “belief” and “faith”. This faith is turned into a conviction, a bond forever which is
bound to see triumph in every endeavor of teacher and student of Resonance. The manifestation of this conviction is visible in the phenomenal results of our students in IIT-JEE 2011 & AIEEE 2011.
It happened after a long period of 25 years that residents of Kota hold the success flag with two ranks out of TOP-5 General Category Ranks in IIT-JEE. Shubham Mehta (AIR-02) & Nisheeth Lahoti (AIR-05), students of two-year classroom contact programme at Resonance, own this pride of success.
The year 2011 has been 'annus mirabilis' for Resonance as with 1813 quality selections in IIT-JEE 2011, we have achieved the BEST RANKS through classroom programmes from any coaching institute in West, East, North & Central India. Apart from 837 selections through Kota Study Centre, there have been a good number of selections from various Study Centres of Resonance. These include 837 selections from Kota Study Centre, 101 from Mumbai, 68 from Delhi, 59 from Jaipur, 41 from Nagpur, 40 from Bhopal, 40 from Lucknow, 05 from Kolkata, 02 from Udaipur & 01 from Bengaluru. All these students have been from Regular Classroom Contact Programmes. Of 1813 total selected students, 1194 are from the Yearlong Classroom Contact Programme and 619 are from Distance Learning Programme. Resonance holds 13.33% Selections out of Total Selections from India (1813 out of 13602) in IIT-JEE 2011. List of illustrious students enclose 17 All India Ranks in TOP-100, 13 Ranks (2, 5, 14, 23, 26, 31, 35, 36, 57, 66, 87, 90, 95) are from Yearlong Classroom Contact Programmes and 04 (11, 18, 24, 88) are from Distance Learning Programmes.
Started in 2006, Resonance's PCCP Division has churned out good results as four of our students in TOP-100: Mridul Garg (AIR-23), Mehul Goyal (AIR-26), Anmol Garg (AIR-66) & Astha Agarwal (AIR-90), have been students of regular classroom coaching at Resonance, since class VII. They began their preparation at PCCP Division.
The Ignited (I) Batch of Resonance has yielded results as expected and top merits have been achieved by students from this batch. The formation of the Ignited Batch has proved to be a fruitful concept. In this batch, 20 best performers are selected from different courses of class XI and are specially guided for top ranks.
Shubham Mehta and Nisheeth Lahoti have got selected in five-member team to represent India at the 42nd International Physics Olympiad (IPhO-2011) to be held from 10th to 18th July in Bangkok, Thailand. The five-member Indian team will compete in the Final Stage of IPhO 2011 where nationally selected teams from 83 countries are expected to participate.
Commendable selections of girl students registered 161 girl selections from Resonance (Classroom: 109 | Distance learning: 52) in IIT-JEE 2011, vis a vis 1491 total girl selections in IIT-JEE 2011. Astha Agarwal, a student of Yearlong Classroom Programmes at Jaipur Study Center acquired AIR 90. Astha has outshined in various other competitive exams which include a Silver Medal in International Junior Science Olympiad held in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2009, securing a place in the top 6 member
team in Asian Physics Olympiad and getting amongst 35 students in the third round in International Physics Olympiad in 2011.
The new step taken by Resonance in 2007 of forming separate batches for the students of Hindi Medium has stirred up stunning results with 278 selections (Classroom: 267 | Distance Learning: 11) in IIT-JEE 2011, with AIR 638 (GEN) achieved by Rajendra Singh.
As a mark of good corporate social responsibility, the sincerity and dedication of Resonance in the two-year classroom training of Jawahar Navodaya Vidalya, Bundi students for IIT-JEE for zero fee, has paid off and a total of 15 students out of 45 have got selected in IIT-JEE, 2011. Out of these students, Nirmal Gandhi has achieved the Highest Rank in general category with AIR 1077.
Resonance's success in IIT-JEE 2011 is followed by good results in AIEEE 2011. Out of the total 9283 selected students, 6488 students are from Classroom Contact Programme & 2795 students are from Distance Learning Programme and Resonance's students have secured 4 AIRs (10, 16, 39, 40) in TOP-40 Ranks. Divyam Bansal & Shubham Mehta scored All India Ranks 10 & 16 which are the best ranks in AIEEE 2011 from any institute in Kota. I firmly believe that AIEEE and AIPMT in coming years will provide a stronger base to Resonance. The selection of 6488 students from the classroom programmes in AIEEE 2011 will assure all IIT-JEE aspirants about their success in various competitive examinations also.
There has been an increase in MQMR (Cutoff marks) in IIT-JEE 2011 as compared to the previous year. The Minimum Qualifying Marks Required (MQMR) for General Category rose this year to 229 from last year's 190. The analysis of JEE question paper shows that the questions were not new to Resonance' students. Still, it is good to remember a few things like a students must implement time-management skills that they learn during the course of their training at Resonance, while solving the question paper. Besides this, they must work consistently at improving quantitative skills. The use of calculator inhibits calculation ability, and is a strict no-no for students.
The fresh arrival of aspirants is here with their utmost trust in the academic services at Resonance, and I welcome them whole-heartedly. Our 'VIJETA' course students, after completing one year, are heading towards their goal. The aspirants in the 'VISHWAAS' course are advised to learn from their predecessors who have achieved success with the relentless efforts in just one year. Those who have joined in 'VIKAAS' and 'VIPUL' in two year foundation course will need to best utilize their time to learn the concepts deeply and carry out continual practice. The number of successful girl students in IIT-JEE in the recent years has been on the increase. I feel very happy that among the successful girls to join IIT in 2011, every 9th girl is from Resonance. I would like to advise the repeater students of 'VIJAY' that they should feel assured of their capabilities and leave no stone unturned to benefit from the learning of the previous year.
I and my whole Resonance Team assure the students that we will remain firmly committed to help students meet their career goals and objectives.

Elementary test on English proficiency
t has been our experience that some
JEE entrants have such a severe
paucity in English, that their Iacademic performance suffers inordinately
in the first semester and this affects their
confidence detrimentally during their
subsequent academic career at the institute.
All JEE entrants to IIT Bombay in 2011,
therefore, undergo an elementary test on
English proficiency at the start of the
semester. Students who score less than 20%
in this test and who further have a total score
in Physics, Chemistry and Maths of less
than or equal to 150 are put in a semester
long intensive programme in English,
Physics, Chemistry, Maths immediately.
Students registering for the courses in this
Programme are evaluated only with Passed
/Not Passed (PP/NP) grades.
During the second semester, such students
will undergo those courses that they would
have registered for in the first semester, had
there been no intensive programme. They
would not be allowed to simultaneously
register for advanced courses in Physics,
Chemistry or Mathematics until they pass
these courses.
IIT-Bombay - a big draw
for JEE toppers
or students who made it to the
top in the IIT-Joint Entrance FExam, Computer Science seems
to be in vogue, and IIT-Bombay is their first
choice. Shubham Mehta, who stood second
in the exam, has decided to opt for
Computer Science in IIT, Bombay. “The
corporate exposure, besides a wide array of
opportunities in the financial capital of the
country, will give us lot of advantages,” said
an elated Shubham.
There are many like him who are giving a
m i s s t o e s t a b l i s h e d c e n t r e s l i k e
IIT- Kharagpur, Kanpur and Delhi. Figures
also suggest that over the years the
placements of IIT-B have surpassed other
campuses.
“IIT-Bombay offers the most successful
incubation centre for entrepreneurship,”
added Shubham Mehta.
Figures suggest that in 2010, 69 students in
top 100 of IIT-JEE went to Mumbai for
engineering. In 2009, 62 students in top 100
went to IIT-B.
The trends also suggest that students who
have been selected in competitions like
NTSE, and Physics, Maths and Chemistry
Olympiads have performed better in IITs.
Top rankers like Shubham Mehta (AIR-02),
Nisheeth Lahoti (AIR 05), Tanmya Vittal
(AIR-10), and Astha Agarwal (AIR 90) had
won many competitions at national &
international level.
For example, Shubham Mehta and Nisheeth
Lahoti are representing India in 42nd
International Physics Olympiad scheduled
for July 2011 at Bangkok. Astha Agarwal
had won many competitions in Class X, XI
and XII and has proven herself well at
International Junior Science Olympiads and
(IJSO) & Asian Physics Olympiads in 2009.
The latest trend, which may create a debate,
is that students start preparing for IITs while
in Class VIII and IX. Data says success rate of
such students who started preparing before
Class X doubles. No doubt, Shubham Mehta
made a good decision to join the coaching
classes when he was in Class VIII.
Nano fabrication at IIT
W i th i t s centre for nano
fabrication, IIT Delhi is focusing
on developing new nano-devices
that are beneficial to the society.
o develop the aspects of
n a n o t e c h n o l o g y , t h e Tgovernment had started setting
up nano-science units in the country. IIT-
Delhi is one such centre where a nano
science unit was started around five years
ago.
VR Mehta, professor of Physics at IIT
Delhi, says, “The implications of nano

nano-science unit was started in our
institute. Now we have recently started a
nanofabrication centre around six months
back to foster and expand all aspects of
nanotechnology, which have the potential
to benefit the country. At the nano-
fabrication centre, we will be looking at
four to five areas of technology such as
fuel cells, nano-sensors, biological sensors
etc. Our effort is to make all this possible at
a low cost so that it is beneficial to all. ”
Nanoscience & technology is a minor area,
which any student, irrespective of the
degree one is pursuing at IIT, can choose
as a special subject. Since nanotechnology
is primarily a combination of Physics,
Chemistry, Biology, it is not taught as a
specific course.
A student, therefore, can opt for
Nanoscience & Technology along with a
degree course and complete this special
subject in a period of four years.
Nanoscience & Technology requires nine
courses, which a student needs to study
and clear. However, the degree awarded
to students will mention that one has
cleared this minor area. There is no added
fee for this.

INDIAN biotechnology has a
P o s t e r G i r l , i t i s
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw, a voluble
58-year-old who o w n s B i o c o n , t h e
country's biggest biotechnology company.
'India's Fermentation Queen' or 'One of the
most prominent faces of Bangalore and
India' are the other prominent titles that
conferences and magazine covers have
proclaimed for months and for years.
'India's fourth-richest woman with a net
worth of $900 million!'- that's how Forbes
magazine described Kiran Mazumdar Shaw
in its September edition of 2010.
Biocon, founded by Dr Kiran Mazumdar
Shaw, boasts of world-class research
outsourcing capabilities, US FDA-
compliant bio-manufacturing facilities and
a self-financed R&D pipeline. Employing
more than 5300 people, it is regarded as the
seventh largest employer among the top 100
global biotechnology companies. Having
many firsts to its credit, the company has
created a strong presence in the global
market - Europe and Gulf Cooperation
Council (GCC) in western Asia through
subsidiaries AxiCorp, Germany and
NeoBiocon in Abu Dhabi respectively. It
has also set up offices in Brazil, Abu Dhabi
and Malaysia.
A Tale of great Turnaround
Unlike many high-tech entrepreneurs,
who plunge into business with little more
than a doctorate and a dream, Kiran
Mazumdar Shaw had been plugging away
for two decades with a master's degree in
brewing. After graduating from Bangalore
University with a zoology degree, she told
her father that she wanted to pursue a
career in applied sciences but he suggested
making beer. I said, "My God, why I would
want to do brewing?” He said, "Don't look
down on brewing. Look at it as a science.”
She moved to Australia in 1974 and enrolled
in what is now the University of Ballarat,
outside Melbourne, to study malting and
brewing. She graduated in 1975 as the top
student and became India's first female
brew-master.
“Going to Austral ia was quite a
transformational phase of my life. I'd led a
very protected and charmed life in India,
and suddenly I had to fend for myself," she
said.
When she returned home, breweries
wouldn't hire her because they feared she
could not handle the odd shifts and male-
dominated workers' unions. She soon found
that opportunities for brew mistresses in
India were few, but that the uses of
fermentation are many. Passing up a chance
to brew beer in Britain, she formed a joint
venture in 1978 with an Irish company
called Biocon to manufacture enzymes for
packaged fruit juices.
Kiran Mazumdar Shaw
“Success is about pursuing a vision with a sense of purpose and a spirit of challenge. There are no short cuts to success and there is no substitute for hard work. I also believe success is about doing things in a differentiated way - dare to be different so that you stand out. Biocon's byline is 'The difference lies in our DNA' and we all believe in it. We don't imitate other companies but have charted our own business destiny.”

Changes to lead by and live by
Deep engagement with her environment is
Zen for her. The city she lives in, industry
for which she is the forerunner, company
she has built and then reinvented she is
hands-on everywhere . Dr Ki ran
Mazumdar Shaw, CMD of Biocon, is raring
to go some more distance to be the change
she wants to see.
Strategic transformation
In the last 10 years, she led the
transformation of Biocon from an enzyme
maker to a bio pharmaceutical company
from the front. “The strategy to pursue this
transform ation path has been that of a
c l e a r - c u t differentiation
at every level. For Biocon, this
She incorporated Biocon India on
November 29, 1978, in her garage in
Bangalore with a capital of ̀ 10,000 and used
a rented, 3,000-square-foot shed nearby as
her factory. Her first employee was a car
mechanic. “It was like a kitchen-sink
operation,” she said. “I had a real problem
getting people to work for me because I was
a woman.”
The next year, Biocon started exporting
enzymes to the U.S. and Europe, according
to its website. Mazumdar-Shaw then
realized that the same processes that make
enzymes for beer - growing microbes in
large vats under precise temperatures and
pressures - could be applied to making
medicines. Insulin, a hormone, can be made
synthetically in a similar process.
“I could actually leverage all that I had done
for enzymes and start applying it to
biopharmaceuticals,” she said.
Mazumdar-Shaw saw an opportunity in
India after learning that most insulin there
was made by foreign companies. “That all
sort-of rung a lot of alarm bells in my mind."
I said, "Hey, this is the space I should be in.
And the rest is history!"
Today the brewing enzyme business
Mazumdar Shaw started has grown into
Biocon, India's largest biotech company and
Asia's biggest producer of insulin. Biocon is
poised to ramp up competition in the $14
billion global insulin market, which is
d o m i n a t e d b y N o v o N o r d i s k ,
Sanofi-Aventis, and Eli Lilly. Demand for
insulin is expected to increase 20 percent a
year through 2015 as the number of
diabetics tops 285 million globally,
according to market researcher
RNCOS.
“In India's biggest drug supply deal so
far, Biocon and Pfizer (PFE) in October
agreed that the Bangalore-based
company will produce insulin for the
U.S. drug giant, which abandoned that
business more than three years ago after
taking a $2.8 billion charge on its Exubera
inhalable insulin. Biocon will supply four
generic insulin products to be sold initially
in emerging markets, including India and
Brazil.”
strategy translated into technology
becoming the first differentiator. Then
followed the development of technology
platform to build this business, which at a
broad level was fermentation. The company
chose microbial fermentation, pichia
fermentation and cell culture as platform
differentiators. “When one follows a
technology-driven strategy, it is important
to identify and plug the gaps. When we
realized that biomanufacturing is going to
be an all-pervasive strategy for us, we
decided to add mammalian cell culture.
And that's where partnership with Cuba's
Center for Molecular Immunology came
in,” she says.
Next on line was the product strategy.
Biocon went though painstaking details
again to zero down on the products to build
and develop from API to statins to finished
products to the disease area leading it to
diabetes, which today still is the single
largest unmet medical need in India. “We
went on to combine our insulin strategy
with the pichia fermentation platform,”
she adds. The Cuban opportunity also
allowed Biocon to focus on the autoimmune
diseases. For Dr Mazumdar Shaw, all these
developments came together to formulate
into an important mission - the mission of
delivering affordable innovation. And that
essentially sums up what Biocon is onto, and
is a driving factor in every decision that is
Tending Philanthropy
In 2004, Dr. Majumdar Shaw started the Biocon Foundation to conduct health,
education, sanitation, and environment programs for the benefit of the economically
weaker sections of society. The Foundation's micro-health insurance program has an
enrolment of 70,000 rural members.
Its 7 ARY clinics are located where healthcare facilities are poor and offer clinical care,
generic medicines and basic tests for those who cannot afford them. Each of the clinics
serves a population of 50,000 people living within a radius of 10 km. All the clinics
organize regular general health checks in remote villages by bringing in physicians and
doctors from network hospitals. Each year, the Foundation touches more than 300,000
lives through its holistic healthcare approach. The Foundation also provides mobile
medical services, and conducts preventive health education programmes and free
health-care camps. She helped establish a 1,400-bed cancer care center at the Narayana
Health City campus at Boommasandra, Bangalore, along with Dr. Devi Shetty of
Narayana Hrudayalaya in 2007. Called the Mazumdar Shaw Cancer Centre (MSCC), it
is one of the largest cancer hospitals of its kind, spread as it is over an area of five lakh
square feet. It specializes in head and neck cancer, breast cancer and cervical cancer.

taken in the company.
Change is her inspiration
She is an inspirational figure for millions of
young Indians who want to emulate her as
one of the most well known entrepreneurs
of the country. But who inspires her?
“I am inspired by a large number of people
who have brought about change despite
obstacles, and have done amazing things
irrespective of how big and small these are.
N R Narayana Murthy (Infosys), who has
created the burgeoning Indian software
industry, Dr Devi Shetty (Narayana
Hrudayalaya), who has created the
affordable hospital model, Dr Bala Manian
(ReaMetrix), well into sixties, came back
from the US to set up a very innovative
company in India, Dr P Babu who helped me
build Biocon, Dr R A Mashelkar (former DG
of CSIR) who has been instrumental in
creating the patent regime in India. I take
inspiration from all quarters. In terms of
personality type, daring risk-takers who
bring about a change inspire me most,”
Dr Mazumdar-Shaw says candidly.
Challenges on the horizon
Dr Mazumdar Shaw is the first one to
acknowledge that the challenges are many.
Getting to understand innovation and drug
development is a challenge, and then taking
some of Biocon's products global. Managing
the scaling-up is a challenge and keeping
the momentum going is itself a challenge.
Attracting good people and keeping them as
engaged and passionate as she is, is a
challenge.
The proverbial “next level” challenge of
scale
Biocon has arrived at a stage where it is
counted among the Top 20 pure biotech
companies in the world, in terms of size,
product portfolio and employees. With a
vision of putting a Biocon product in every
market, globally, she has already moved to
tackle it with a future ready business model.
The recent Pfizer-Biocon deal is a step in this
direction. So is the $160 million investment
to set up manufacturing and research
facilities in Malaysia. Integrating the islands
of excellence that demonstrate efficiency,
competence, reliability into a system that
allows scale-up, and consequently gives
the competitive edge in the global multi-
location market place, is something she
believes will be easier to execute along with
a partner like Pfizer, which has world class
systems in place. So, while the deal is a
marketing deal, the learnings from Pfizer
will have a far-reaching positive impact on
Biocon.
Ten years ago, when Biocon rebranded
itself as a biotechnology company, there
were many skeptics. Now, 10 years later,
there is grudging admiration for the
tenacity displayed by Biocon under her
leadership. For, despite ups and down,
Biocon stuck to the vision outlined by her;
delivered a number of products in diabetes
and oncology sector, became a leader in the
chosen field, built up an integrated
platform with manufacturing, research
and services, and of course, setting the
stage for other companies to follow with a
blockbuster IPO in 2005. What has
happened in the last decade is just the
beginning. The best days of Biocon will
come in the next decade, when its insulin
products and a few more, will be available
in markets around the world.
Today, the biotechnology sector is no more
been hovering over the fringes of the
Indian industry. It has been shoved to the
forefront swiftly.
It rains awards on her
Innumerable awards and recognitions
have been bestowed upon her on National
and Inter-nation level including a Padma
Bhushan in 2005 and a Padma Shri 1989.
She also received an honorary Doctorate of
Science in 2004, from her alma mater,
Ballarat University, in recognition of her
contributions to biotechnology, apart
from being awarded honorary doctorates
from University of Abertay, Dundee, UK
(2007), University of Glasgow, UK (2008)
and Heriot-Watt University, Edinburgh,
UK (2008).
The award she values the most is the one
named after the great engineer and
visionary Sir M Vishweshwariah, the MV
Memorial Award.

Be a Pioneer!
Dr. Srinivasan Parthasarathy
"When you are an entrepreneur, you do not have a
boss, which can be a problem, as there is no one to
stretch you. K. B. Chandrasekhar, founder of
Exodus Communication, who was an early
investor in Aztec soft, played the role of a boss. He
would constantly challenge me. When we were
doing a business of $50,000 a month, he told me
why not $1 million. I worked like a mad man and
made $ 1 million a month. I think this is the role an
angel investor should play. He should be able to
push the entrepreneur to do even better than he
thinks he can. Now, I try to do this as an investor. "
s an entrepreneur,
S r i n i v a s a n AParthasarathy knew
that he did not want to be a
me-too, but a pioneer in
computer servicing. In
1980s, when the IT industry
was taking its baby breaths
& yawns and personal
computers were jus t
debuting in the Indian
market, serial entrepreneur
and angel investor S
Parthasarathy founded
C o m p u t e r G a r a g e , a
c o m p u t e r s e r v i c e s
company and made it a
national brand.
In 1995, he co-founded Aztec Software, which went on to become
a reputed outsourced product development (OPD) company,
and was acquired by IT services major Mindtree in 2008. Today,
Parthasarathy is an angel investor and is a member of the Indian
Angel Network (IAN). He is also chairman and CEO of Nu
Street Technologies, a cloudware applications start-up
Computer Pioneer.
He passed out of IIT-Madras during the days when
manufacturing was king in India, and joined Tata Motors'
shop floor and hated it. He wanted to do something he
enjoyed.
After doing MBA from IIM-Ahmedabad, he could have
joined any top company, but really liked this new IT start-up
called Wipro. “I was sold out on the dream they painted and
worked with them for five years. I saw the company grow
rapidly and thought to myself: "If they can do it, so can I."
Hence, he set up a third-party computer maintenance
company in the late 80's and became pioneer in this segment.
“Personal computers were just making their appearance
and we soon became synonymous with computer servicing.
If someone wanted computer maintenance, they came to
us.”
Winning Globally
Soon he realised that the international market was where
real business was and software was going to be the business
of the future. He exited
Computer Garage and
used the money to co-
found Aztec Software.
The plan was to build a
cutting-edge product
company. “After two
years of working on this
idea and trying to raise
m o n e y t o f u n d t h e
company, we realized we
did not know how to
make this idea into a
successful business. So we
took stock and used our
expertise to turn Aztec
soft into an OPD venture.
We were realistic and
willing to change our idea. We wanted to win on a global scale. We
did phenomenally well and we were the leaders in our segment
worldwide. "If someone wanted to outsource their product
development, they came to us. As an entrepreneur I knew I did not
want to be a me-too."

nfosys, the Indian technology company
that has symbolized the country's Ieconomic rebirth is heading for its
biggest transition in three decades.
N R Narayana Murthy, the man who built a
global technology services giant out of
India, due for retirement in August, is
leaving behind a painstakingly-crafted
legacy and values which are hard to
overlook.
Infosys founder N R Narayana Murthy
after stepping down as the company's
chairman, will don a new role at the
country's second-largest software
exporter as chairman emeritus. Though
Infosys has now increased the
retirement age of the chairman from 65
to 70, it will not apply to any of the
founders; Murthy says that would be
putting the individual above the institution.
He will, however, continue to be associated
with Infosys as chairman emeritus. The IT
czar, known for quick and fast decisions,
wants a bigger canvas to paint on.
On April 30, Infosys announced Murthy's
successor, K.V. Kamath, currently an
independent director on Infosys's board and
the man credited with having moulded
India's largest private sector bank - ICICI
Bank - into a financial powerhouse. Kamath
will be the first non-founder at Infosys to
hold this position.
Co-founder, CEO and Managing Director
S. Gopalakrishan (Kris) will become co-
chairman; and co-founder and COO S.D.
Shibulal, will take over from Kris.
The journey at Infosys
Terming the Infosys journey as an integral
part of his life, Murthy said that most of his
colleagues tell him that "Infosys is an
inseparable part of me and I am an
inseparable part of Infosys." “I worked
Saturdays, Sundays, every day 16 hours;
just Infosys. When I was away from home
for as many as 330 days in a year, it was hard
for my children to believe in my
commitment to the family.” "I have been the
Number One actor in every major decision
taken in the company. I have rejoiced in
every significant milestone of the company.
I have commiserated in every false step that
this company has taken," he asserted.
Both will step down from executive roles
when they turn 60 in a few years, making
way for a new generation of leaders.
Mr. Narayana Murthy is undoubtedly one
of the most famous persons from
Karnataka. He is known not just for
building the biggest IT Empire in India but
also for his simplicity. He was born on
August 20, 1946 in Karnataka, India. He
obtained his Bachelor of Electrical

Engineering (B.E.) from University of
Mysore in 1967 and his Master of
Technology (M.Tech.) from Indian Institute
of Technology (IIT), Kanpur in 1969.
He founded Infosys in 1981 along with six
software professionals and is the Chairman
of the Board and Chief Mentor Officer of
Infosys. The article shares his thoughts on
leaving the company he co-founded, the
new leadership team and the challenges
ahead. Murthy says that he believes that
the single biggest achievement of Infosys
is that it has been a beacon of hope for
young entrepreneurs.
The challenges ahead
What's behind
the leadership changes at Infosys?
When you are in business for a long time,
you go through good times and bad times.
When you go through bad times, you learn
to control costs, satisfy customers better,
satisfy employees better and become more
transparent. Therefore, you build character
in the company. If longevity is the best
index to measure a company, a basic
requirement is the ability of the
corporation to generate new and new
leaders. That's the synopsis that we at
Infosys follow in creating business, in
absorbing global best practices at Infosys. It
does not matter who the leader is or when
he or she leaves the company. There will be

Kamath knows that organisations customer, employee and investor
always a set of new leaders who will
embrace the values, take on the strategy of
the company and hopefully improve upon
it.
Of India's big three IT firms, Infosys is the
only genuinely entrepreneurial start-up.
The biggest, Tata Consultancy Services, is a
subsidiary of India's largest conglomerate.
Wipro is a second-generation firm that
moved on from hardware. Mr Murthy
founded Infosys with six friends. He recalls
a long meeting in the bedroom of his
apartment in Mumbai, where they
One, we have to become more multicultural.
Second, we have to raise our brand to such a
level that the CIO of a Fortune 500
corporation must be anxious to get a bid
from Infosys for a billion-dollar project.
Third, we have to retain our margins while
growing at a healthy pace. Fourth, the talent
situation in India is becoming graver and
graver. Therefore, all of us - the industry, the
government and the company- have to work
together to correct this. McKinsey has said
that there is a US $300 billion opportunity
that we can get to as an industry [IT] by 2020
or so. But [we can achieve this] only if we
handle this problem; otherwise we will miss
out. These [challenges] are for both Infosys
and the entire [Indian IT] industry.
His advice to young people in India
who want to become entrepreneurs
Any opportunity that will allow me to speak
to youngsters about how they can make this
a better country, a country that the whole
world can be proud of, how they can make
sure that the poorest child has access to the
basic needs- that's what I would be very
happy doing. They have to follow what was
so well conveyed by Shahrukh Khan [Hindi
film actor] and his team of hockey players in
[the Hindi film] Chak De India- about
meritocracy, discipline, teamwork,
subordinating one's ego in favor of the
community or the team. I think if our
youngsters did all of that, we would be a
wonderful country.

we are to be held accountable for redeeming
the promise that we make to our

whether we have performed according to

hammered out a kind of mission
statement. This was not, he says, to
be the best, the biggest or the most
profitable, but to “earn the respect of all our
stakeholders”. Do the right thing and do the
job well, says Mr Murthy, and the rest
would follow.

Navin Kumar
hare with us something about
your family background: I come Sfrom a middle class family. My
father is a businessman, and mother is a
home-maker. My parents always wanted
me to achieve something great. I feel proud
that I fulfilled their dreams.
Whom you wish to give credit of your success?
When you take a big leap of success, it is not
only you who made this possible. There are
many people, named and unnamed, who
have contributed to the success. I would like
to give credit to my Mother and Father, who
did everything for my study, and never let
me sense or feel that a problem exists. Apart
from that, the credit goes to Resonance, for
being such an amazing place to prepare for
IIT-JEE; to the faculty at Resonance, without
whose brilliant teaching methodology and
enthusiastic motivation, it would have
never been possible. Last, but not the least,
the credit goes to God, who helped me with
my luck to get into IIT.
What is required to get into IIT?
You need to believe in yourself to get into
such a big place. The day I joined Resonance,
I started believing that I would be one of
those, getting felicitated at Victory 2009, the
felicitation function. Regular study, focus
towards goal, utmost dedication, honesty to
oneself , confidence (but not over
confidence), are some of the things I think
are really required to get into IITs. Besides
these, a proper guidance, and strong
emotional support are important to crack
such a big dream.
What changes did you find in you after joining
Resonance?
I experienced competition for the first time
in my life when I joined Resonance. This was
sometimes frustrating, but most of the
times challenging and inspiring to me
during the preparation of JEE. Apart from
that, I learnt time-management, and to
believe in myself. Resonance made me
tough and sincere, which I feel are the keys
to unlock success in life.
Who is your favorite teacher at Resonance?
Well, to account for my views about
teachers at Resonance, I admire all who
have taught me, as all possess some unique
qualities. But if you ask who was my
favorite, my answer would definitely be
AGL Sir.
Your words about RKV SIR: During my days
at Resonance, I used to remain scared of
RKV Sir. I think his toughness made him
one of the best teachers in Resonance. His
way of teaching, which often comprised
some reading assignments from text books,
is what I think, has helped me a lot and
helps me even today. You feel good when
you solve the problems of sheets & DPPs.
But to read the book was something I, and
most of my friends, found very boring. But
when you come to IITs, you understand
why such things are important. Apart from
these, the time-to-time motivation given by
RKV Sir was just awesome. I also admire
him for his wonderful singing, and miss
those days when Sir used to fill me with
enthusiasm with his wonderful songs,
among which the dearest was 'Ruk Jaana
Nahi.'
Give some tips to increase efficiency while
studying.
Paying attention to words of faculty
members in classroom completes half of
the studies. Writing during studying
something adds to completeness and
efficiency of learning, rather than just
reading the text. I also believe that regular
studies pay you more than the end - time
studies.
Did 'ANUNAAD' at any stage help you
motivate for the sustained efforts for IIT-JEE?
I was very fond of Anunaad. As soon as the
latest issue was released, I grabbed one and
tried to solve the problems in “Think to win”
page, without wasting time, for which I got
prizes three times in a row. It was very
inspiring. Other than that, there was news
about IITs. Now what happens when you
prepare for JEE, each article, big or small,
about IITs invokes you to get into the big
place, at least this happened in my case. The
success stories of the alumnus of Resonance
(Reso Reaper) also motivated in preparation
of JEE.
Any memorable event/incident at Resonance
that you wish to share with us: The days of my
JEE preparation at Resonance are very dear
to me, for each day had something
memorable related to it. I would like to share
two among them. It was orientation class of
Resonance, held at IL Auditorium. The
moment I entered the auditorium, there was
song playing Lakshya. I was listening to that
song for the first time, and that eventually
filled me with enthusiasm and motivation.
The six hours long orientation lecture
passed without a break, from which a
sentence by RKV Sir remained embedded in
my mind throughout my two years of
preparation at Kota. It was, “Today is your
first lecture, here at IL auditorium. I would
like to meet you after two years, here.”
Accomplishment: I have been associated in
the management and organizing team of the
cultural and technical festivals of the
college. Also, I am currently involved in the
designing of Formula-1 car, which will be
competing in the FSAE racing, which is an
international student's formula car design
competition, to be held in Germany in 2012.
Your message for Resonance students: Study
regularly; keep in touch with the chapters
covered way back; enjoy a little, for this
relaxes you and boosts your preparation;
and accomplish your dream of getting
selected in IITs. There are infinite numbers
of people who are there, wishing you
success, whose happiness would be on
seventh sky when they would see you
cracking the big exam.

stha Agarwal, a student of
Two-Yearlong Classroom Contact Programme (YCCP) at Jaipur Study Centre acquired AIR 90 (GEN). Here is a summary of a brief interaction with her.
s A
I am overjoyed with my rank in IIT-JEE 2011 and
would like to give the credit of my success to my
family and Resonance. I joined Resonance in class X
and started preparing for various competitive exams.
The yearlong classroom contact programme trained me
for IIT-JEE 2011.
This programme is simply the best. The environment at
Resonance is friendly and supportive. The sincere efforts
of my mentors helped me in achieving my goal. My
decision to join Resonance turned out to be a boon for me.
No doubt, the nicely planned study material was also
equally important. The PTs and CTs further cleared
many misconceptions and helped me identify my strong
and weak topics. The level & pattern of these tests were
like the actual IIT-JEE paper.
The guidance & motivation here helped me qualify for
the prestigious Kishore Vaigyanik Protsahan Yojana
(KVPY) fellowship besides a silver medal at
International Junior Science Olympiad, 2009 at Baku,
Azerbaijan and an 'Honorable Mention' in Asian Physics
Olympiad, 2010 at Israel. I could also manage my School
studies and got 93.8% in boards along with 98% in PCM.
I would like to make it very clear that no other institute
has contributed to my success. I am grateful to all my
teachers at Resonance for their support. I strongly
recommend my juniors to join Resonance and do well in
all the exams they take up.

GROWTHSELECTIONS OF GIRL STUDENTS IN IIT-JEE
I have done B.Tech. in Civil Engineering and posted as
Block department officer, Taleda, Kota. My early
childhood was spent at Bareily Uttar Pradesh. My
Father was a Junior Engineer in Production department of
Synthetic And Chemicals Limited at Bareilly, Uttar Pradesh
and my mother was a home maker. My sister is a lecturer in
Maharani College and elder daughter, Dr. Pooja Mehta is a
Radio diagnost at PGIMER. My younger daughter is doing
Civil Engineering at NIT, Raipur.
IITs are known to produce successful leaders in every
chosen field, and are good options to start with career in
engineering fields. They help the students to globalize their
potential, elevate their personality and transform into a
hard working, committed treasure. They also give scope to
be recognized as one of the topmost performers. Be it a
small venture or Research and development organization
with an IITian behind it, is proved to be a huge success in
terms of the results produced in a very less time.
Resonance is one of the good coaching classes for IIT-JEE
preparation. The highly competitive environment,
guidance from expert faculty members ensures dedication
and encourages the students work hard. Our first
interaction with Resonance was through a camp 'Akhil
Bhartiya Pratibha Utthan Abhiyan (ABPUA),' which was
organized at Modi Dental College, Kota by Resonance in the
month of April 2009. Shubham, my son, was one of the
participants in this camp at the end of which he decided to
join Resonance for IIT-JEE preparation.
Shubham is blessed with a tremendous ability to memorize.
After joining Resonance, the studious and competitive
environment that was provided at the institute transformed
him into a winner. It gave him an opportunity to compete with
brilliant minds. Joining here, he learnt the art of time
management & smart work. My son was not so brilliant before
joining Resonance. His results fructified with extensive
consistent efforts and excellent mentorship at every step. I
was sure my son will be in the top 10. The day my son got 2nd
rank in IIT-JEE 2011, I was very happy with his achievements.
I felt that he got famous overnight. Resonance felicitation
function (VICTORY 2011) is the most memorable day for me
and my son. It brought such a great sense of happiness & pride
to receive such an elite treatment and to watch him being
felicitated among thousands of parents, students &
distinguished guests.
He wants to get admission in IIT-Bombay. Further, he aspires
to pursue post-graduation studies from the Massachusetts
Institute of Technology. He is one among the selected five-
member team to represent India at the 42nd International
Physics Olympiad (IPhO-2011) to be held from 10th to 18th
July in Bangkok, Thailand. The IPhO is a unique event
designed to discover, to encourage and challenge
exceptionally gifted young students in Physics from all over
the world.
We came to know about Resonance through
advertisements in News papers and
hoardings in Kota City as well as from
parents of other students.
As usual we were exposed to many choices regarding
coaching institutes for IIT-JEE. Resonance's Admission
Brochure that lists success figures through various
graphs along with the detailed information impressed us
and put Resonance in a positive frame of sincerity and
trustworthiness.
Our initial interactions with RKV Sir convinced us of the
utmost dedication and strength of the entire system at
Resonance and we believed that the student success is the
sole priority here.
The academic and overall environment at Resonance is
truly qualitative. Teachers are quite knowledgeable and
are immensely supportive. They gave challenging
problems to our son Nisheeth which kept him motivated
to keep of working hard in the pursuit of his goals. By the
grace of God, our son has got brains and he utilizes it well
to learn various subjects.
I hail from rural area from village Kuraj, district
Rajsamand in Rajasthan. My father is a retired teacher
and mother is a homemaker.
My wife, Seema Maheshwari comes from Udaipur,
Rajasthan. Her father has retired from State Legal
Services. Both of us are Science graduates and
government employees. My wife pursued further
studies and earned a graduation degree in Law. She is
working in Rajasthan Legal Services and I am
Superintendent of Customs & Central Excise.
Our family is a small one and Nisheeth is our only child.
IITs are India's best institutes for technological studies.
These are institutes of repute and have good infrastructure
and facilities. The chosen brilliant minds go for
engineering studies in these institutes.
During the course of the entire journey of this crucial
preparation, we had our share of good and bad incidents
and we took all those in our stride and kept positive
attitude. But the Felicitation Ceremony (VICTORY) is
permanently etched in our hearts. It was gloriously
wonderful to see each and every students being felicitated
with honour and respect. It truly takes highly demanding
and painful hard work and lot of perseverance to touch
that threshold of victory.
As for Nisheeth, these accomplishments viz. NTSE, KVPY,
5th rank in JEE are quite a good number of achievements
for us. But there are bigger achievements along the way
ahead that would sum up the definition of bright,
rewarding and wholesome life with a great sense of well
being.

INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MADRAS (IIT-M) CHENNAI, TAMILNADU
Reso-Students (58) who opted the
following branches at IIT-M in 2010
Please tell us something about your early
childhood and family background.
I am a resident of Kota and did schooling
from St. Paul's School. We are a big family,
blessed with four elder sisters, all studied at
Sophia. I have a 2 years old son Priyansh, an
ardent fan of Dhoni! My father worked at JK
Synthetics till 1998 when it closed down and
thereafter he moved to UP to engage himself
in business till 2004 when he returned back
to Kota. This was a difficult time for our
family, but in 1999 I graduated from my
school and got selected in IIT-JEE which was
a much needed heal to us. Then I moved to
U.S. and studied for three years at Purdue
University, since then I have been with
Resonance.
What inspired you for Indian Institutes of
Technology (IITs)?
While I was studying in 7th std., five to six
students from St. Paul's got selected in JEE. It
was a pride moment for a school to have 6
IITians. A function was organized and our
school Father felicitated the students in front
of us. This made a long lasting impression
on me about the prestige of IIT and I decided
to be an IITian to earn the same felicitation
from our school Father. This childhood
thought laid the foundation of my goal as a
IIT-MADRASIIT-MADRASIIT-MADRAS
ndian Institute of Technology
Madras, is one among the foremost
institutes of national importance in Ihigher technological education, basic and
applied research. In 1956, the German
Government offered technical assistance for
establishing an institute of higher education
in engineering in India. The first Indo-

Names of Reso Students
who joined IIT-M in the year 2010
ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 32
The top five successful tips I would like to give to students for their entire journey of IIT-JEE preparation at Resonance
• Attend all classes very regularly and attentively.
• Completion of work in time is a must.
• Be disciplined in your schedule; always give some time
at home to study whatever was taught on that day.
Reserve some time for revision daily and don't take
revision for granted.
• Adopt healthy habits, eat good food, have regular and
proper sleep of seven hours.
• Whenever you feel dejected and de-motivated or in low
spirits, think of the happiness that you can earn for your
family with a great result. Parents are students' best
motivation source and they should keep their
photograph right in front of them, this will always help
you to be on your toes and will deviate you from wrong
path.
ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 33
student.
What qualities one must possess to get into
IITs?
I have always believed that the foremost
quality is hardwork and commitment
towards studies. One has to be very firm
towards daily schedule, and it is regularity
that drives success. Secondly, discipline in
day-to-day activities helps in maintaining
efficiency. To execute all the above, follow
what the academic mentors (teachers) guide
you.
Please share your experiences at IIT
Madras and throw some light on your best
moments pertaining to studies there.
There were two-three best instances at
IIT Madras which I remember always.
The first one was when I gave my first
public presentation ever. It was on
Bhagvad Gita, a tough topic to
prepare, but I prepared it very hard
and delivered it to perfection and it
won me second award in my batch. I
was delighted with it as firstly I had
never spoken in public and secondly it
was in English.
The second instance was when I was
the only candidate selected for
summer internship program for
Unilever from among approximately
150 odd students after interview and
group discussion. Lastly, towards the
end of the degree, our HOD Chemical
Engineering Department appreciated
my sincerity for my summer training and
also for my B.Tech Project. These are some
moments with fond remembrances.
How is the academic and overall
environment at IIT Madras different from
other IITs?
Well, each IIT has its unique culture and so
does IIT-M. IIT-Kanpur and IIT-Madras are
known more for their academics. IIT Madras
students are more inclined towards
pursuing higher studies abroad. IIT-M folks
have more exposure with the international
students. Due to language barriers, English
has become the most accepted mode of
communication, but perhaps not the case
with most of IITs. I remember vividly, it
was my second day at IIT-M and I was
taken to surprise when the cycle mechanic
at IIT-M spoke in English! However
Madras is not all that happening city as
Delhi or Mumbai. The campus is very
green and one can find deer roaming like
cats and dogs, thanks to the proximity of
Guindy National Park.
How has your teaching experience been
with the students preparing for IIT-JEE at
Resonance?
I have always loved to work at Resonance.
Here, the entire team is very student-
welfare oriented and we feel extremely
good and motivated to keep working to
give better education to thousands of kids
who have entrusted us this responsibility. I
have taught all kind of students from
various states and it's always good to be
among such a rich cultural mix.
What made you enter the field of
teaching? What is the responsibility of a
teacher according to you?
When I was in US, I learnt that parents can
never be issued permanent visa, this
prompted me to come back to India. This
gave me an opportunity to pursue a career
of my choice - teaching. Since I have been a
student of RK sir, Resonance was the
natural choice.
Regarding responsibilities of a teacher,
“No amount of tricks works unless you do”.
“Many a times silence is unheard in this noisy world”.
“Those who don't work hard and yet getting good results are just harnessing their reserves”.
there are many. But teaching at Kota calls for
an added responsibility as many students
are out- stationed, and a teacher is their
social as well as academic mentor. A
teacher's prime duty is to impart quality
education with discipline. A student learns
not just domain knowledge from his teacher
but also closely observes teacher's day to
day schedule and gets greatly inspired from
his attitude and commitment towards work.
Your motto of life/ideologies /values, you
live with
I strongly believe in honesty and
transparency in dealings. I hate hypocrites
and love hard working people. One should
be honest and committed to
whatever one does and try to
deliver one's 100%. Never try to
evade hard work and find short
cuts.
Anything else that you feel worth
sharing with all students
Everybody knows that not all
students can get selected in JEE or
NIT's, neither your selection in
these exams is the end of the life.
Life is larger than what typically at
this age we think. One's duty is at
whichever phase of life we are at,
we should work wi th fu l l
commitment and honesty towards
it. Result is dependent on various factors
like your ability, hard work and luck.
We should always aim at working in such a
manner that our family and we are always
contented that we have placed our best
possible efforts. I wish you all good luck in
your preparation for competitive exams and
hope to deliver our best in your success.

ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 34
T e c h n o l o g y a n d d e v e l o p m e n t : A growing number of initiatives are promoting bottom-up ways to deliver energy to poor
onsidering the poor as
consumers often result in
unsustainable products and Cservices that focus on creating 'wants and
desires' among the poor and then fulfilling
them. A more sustainable approach is to
understand their basic needs and then
address those needs by creating suitable
products and services. This requires a deep
understanding of the context in which the
poor lead their lives and identifying the key
enablers that would make them realize their
potential and improve their income.
Harish Hande, managing director of SELCO
Solar, a social enterprise in India that
promotes the adoption of new energy
technologies, says the important thing is not
so much to deliver energy to the poor, but to
provide new ways to generate income. His
firm has devised a solar-powered sewing
machine, for example. Last year Mr Hande
started an incubation lab in rural
Karnataka, in southern India, to bring
together local customers and engineering
interns from MIT, Stanford and Imperial
College, London. The lab is currently
piloting a hybrid banana dryer that runs on
biomass during wet spells and sunlight on
dry days to make packets of dried banana
so that farmers no longer have to rely on
selling their crop immediately.
SELCO India, founded in 1995 by H.
Harish Hande, is a Bangalore-based social
enterprise that makes solar lighting
technology accessible to the economically
impoverished people of India. Harish
Hande is an engineer and a renewable
energy entrepreneur with extensive
grassroots experience in meeting the
energy requirements of rural households.
He was born in Bangalore, Karnataka and
raised in Rourkela, Orissa, India. After
completing his basic schooling in Orissa, he
w e n t t o I I T K h a r a g p u r f o r h i s
undergraduate s tudies in Energy
Engineering. He then went to the U.S. to do
his Master's and later Ph.D. in Energy
Engineer ing at the Univers i ty of
Massachusetts Lowell.
Since his graduate student days, Harish
firmly believed in the potential of solar
energy for improving productivity of rural
households. Two critical success factors of
SELCO's business model have been its
ability to customize its products to address
specific needs of the poor and to arrange
finance for its customers. Until date, SELCO
has sold solar lighting to 120,000 rural
homes and several other institutions such as
clinics, seminaries and schools in the Indian
Let there be light
POWER TO THE PEOPLE
ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 35
state of Karnataka. Employing about 170
people, SELCO services these households
from 25 service centers scattered all across
rural Karnataka. Although SELCO has been
able to establish a sustainable business
model that realizes Harish's vision of
bringing low-cost energy solution to the
economically impoverished, its
challenge today is to create greater
impact by scaling its business as well as
creating an organization that
sustains its success beyond the
tenure of its founding members.
Harish Hande has won the Ashden
Award for Sustainable Energy
2005 and Tech Museum
Award 2005. Harish has also
received the world's leading green
energy award from Prince Charles
in 2005. In 2007 SELCO INDIA
won the Outstanding Achievement
Award from Ashden Awards. The
award was presented by Al Gore,
former Vice President of the United
States of America. Harish Hande was
named the Social Entrepreneur of the Year
2007 by the Schwab Foundation for Social
Entrepreneurship and the Nand & Jeet
Khemka Foundation. He was also the
featured attendee and speaker at the Clinton
Global Initiative 2007.
In 2008, Harish Hande was chosen by
Business Today as one of the 21 young
leaders for India's 21st century. In mid 2008,
India Today named him one of the 50
pioneers of change in India.
His experience includes a large number of
health, education and water related projects:
over 500 small rural and urban health
clinics, over 1000 rural and semi-urban
schools and dormitories, and over 1500
irrigation and drinking water systems. Dr.
Hande also is on the board of many
national and international organisations.
He advises aspiring social entrepreneurs or
people on starting-up social businesses,
especially in India,
“Don't start with money. When your back
is to the w o r l d , you can
innov
ate
. Get the manag e m e n t t e a m
first, then the money. Get four or five
people to OWN the business plan. SELCO
raised money only after three years of
formation.
We wouldn't have had the same
innovation if we had the money right from
the beginning. “In building SELCO, we
overcame many challenges & failures."
One of the biggest barriers is human
resources. We need people who can think
holistically. The education system in India
right now is very modular. Most of our
middle-management has come out of luck.
Social entrepreneurs need a lot of patience
eventually, the right people will come to
you. Entrepreneurs should look into rural
India there is a lot of talent. They just need
the opportunity.
AROUND 1.5 billion people, or
more than a fifth of the world's
population, have no access to
electricity, and a billion more
have only an unreliable and
intermittent supply. Of the
people without electricity, 85%
live in rural areas or on the
fringes of cities. Extending
energy grids into these areas is
expensive: the United Nations
estimates that an average of $35
billion-40 billion a year needs
to be invested until 2030 so everyone
on the planet can cook, heat and
light their premises, and have
energ y for productive uses such as
schooling. On current trends, however,
the number of “energy poor” people will
barely budge, and 16% of the world's
population will still have no electricity by
2030, according to the International
Energy Agency.
But why wait for top-down solutions?
There is no need to wait for politicians or
utilities to act. Local, bottom-up systems
may be more sustainable and produce
fewer carbon emissions than centralized
schemes. The developing world has an
opportunity to leapfrog the centralized
model, just as it leapfrogged fixed-line
telecoms and went straight to mobile
phones. Fortunately, lots of people are
doing just that.

ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY
MOTIVATIONAL STORIES OF THE PEOPLE WHO
HOBBY TURNED INTO BUSINESS PASSION IS THE GENESIS OF LANDMARK
ANUNAAD - XXIV (JULY-SEPTEMBER 2011) 37
The eco-friendly fad, Ulhasnagar-based
entrepreneur and an analyst with a private
company, Kamlesh Hotchandani, 31, found his
recipe for success in selling eco-friendly
bamboo furniture and cane products, as a part-time business. The Green
Gold furniture and products are sourced from tribals of Assam and have
aroused interest of quite a few furniture dealers in
Mumbai, Pune and Thane. Hotchandani feels that
selling eco-friendly products is one way of giving
back to Nature what we have received from it.
Hotchandani got hooked to the idea two years
ago, inspired by the pathbreaking success of
Prashant Lingam's Bamboo House India. He
travelled to Assam and lived with the tribal
people for almost a month, understanding the
business and establishing contacts. He studied
all aspects of how these bamboo and cane
products are made, the time each item takes, the
sources of the raw material and the costs
involved.
Equipped with this knowledge, he came back to
Ulhasnagar and started Green Gold in October
2 0 0 9 . H e a l s o s e t u p a w e b s i t e
www.agreenanswer.co.in to showcase the
bamboo furniture and other items. Clients can
browse the website and place their orders. He has
almost 200 such items listed on the site. The order
is forwarded to Assam, from where the product is
sent by train. It takes about 15 days to be delivered
to the client but some products can take up to 40
days. For Hotchandani, this is a low margin and
low volume game. The monthly sales are around
1 lakh, but the overheads and procurement costs
are very high, leaving only 10-15% on the table for
Hotchandani. Going forward, he expects sales to
pick up if bamboo products and cane furniture
becomes a middle-class rage. Still, Hotchandani
is satisfied with the progress that his fledgling
venture has made in the past one and a half years.
He has seen the gloomy days when the economic
slowdown took jobs away and put life out of gear
for thousands of call centre employees like him.
All that seems history now.
Banking On BooksThe eco-friendly route to success
Hemu Ramaiah, CEO, Landmark. At 19, she
said, “At 20, I will start working. Before 30, I will
start my own business. After that, I won't take
risks. Before 50, I will retire.”
Who would've thought this focus would end up in a Rs. 225 crore-turnover
company as she turned 50. The business she started in over 5,200 square feet of
basement, rented out at four bucks per sq ft, has
spawned stores all over the country and
recently completed 20 years with a kind of
success that lives up to it's name: Landmark. “I
always knew I wanted to work in a book shop or
something to do with books and interacting
with people,” says Hemu Ramaiah, CEO,
Landmark.
She learnt more about literature hanging out at
the Taj Book Shop than from her course in Stella
Maris College. "I started working the day I
finished college in 1978. I was 20.”
In the next 10 years, she started more concept
book-stores in other hotels. But there was a
complete disconnect between “the guy ordering
for the distributor (the merchandiser) and what
the customer wanted.” The generation back
then was very well-read and wanted more.
Hemu got her NRI-brother Nataraj Ramaiah to
invest for retail. She then settled for a basement
of an office building." We didn't have a front
entry and even today, we don't even have a
name-board. You just need to put the money
into things that help the customer.”
Empowering customers: Books used to be sold
from behind counters when Landmark opened
in 1987. “If you wanted to see a coffee table
book, the fellow will not even show it to you,
he'll say: Want to buy? Otherwise: 'No, don't put
your fingerprints on my book!' Hemu wanted to
change this, encourage browsing, and empower
the customer. Landmark signed a joint venture
in Kolkata for an 18,000 sq ft store in 1999 and
then, the Spencer's Plaza store came up across
40,000 sq ft in 2001. From day one, it was a
phenomenal success and then they got
Bangalore, which is the flagship store today.

profession involving a variety of tasks at
work. The stream of architecture has created
an enormous space for itself in this world of

architecture was part of Mathematics, and in
many periods of the past, the two disciplines
were indistinguishable. In the ancient

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his
potato garden, but it was very hard for him. His only son, who
would have helped him, was in prison. The old man wrote a
letter to his son and mentioned his situation:
Dear Son,
I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant
my potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden,
because your mother always loved planting time. I'm just
getting too old to be digging up a garden plot. If you were here,
all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.
Love, Dad
Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake,
Dad, don't dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the
GUNS!!"
At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police
officers showed up and dug up the entire garden without
finding any guns. Confused, the old man wrote another note to
his son telling him what happened, and asked him what to do
next. His son's reply was: "Go ahead and plant your potatoes,
Dad... It's the best I could do for you from here."
Moral: No matter where you are in the world, if you have decided
to do something deep from your heart you can do it. It is the
thought that matters not where you are or where the person is.

The Great New HR Policy!
Dress Code:
1) You are advised to come to work, dressed, according to your
salary.
2) If we see you wearing Prada shoes and carrying a Gucci bag, we
will assume you are doing well financially and therefore do not
need a raise.
3) If you dress poorly, you need to learn to manage your money
better, so that you may buy nicer clothes, and therefore you do
not need a raise.
4) If you dress just right, you are right where you need to be and
therefore you do not need a raise.
Sick Days: We will no longer accept a doctor's statement as a proof
of sickness. If you are able to go to the doctor, you are able to come
to work.
Personal Days: Each employee will receive 104 personal days a
year. They are called Saturdays & Sundays.
Bereavement Leave: This is no excuse for missing work. There is
nothing you can do for dead friends, relatives or co-workers. Every
effort should be made to have non-employees attend the funeral
arrangements in your place. In rare cases where employee
involvement is necessary, the funeral should be scheduled in the
late afternoon. We will be glad to allow you to work through your
lunch hour and subsequently leave one hour early.
Bathroom Breaks: Too much time is being spent in the toilet. There
is now a strict three-minute time limit in the stalls. At the end of
three minutes, an alarm will sound, the toilet paper roll will retract,
the stall door will open, and a picture will be taken. After your
second offense, your picture will be posted on the company
bulletin board under the “Chronic Offenders” category. Anyone
caught smiling in the picture will be sectioned under the company's
mental health policy.
Lunch Break: (Love this one)
* Skinny people get 30 minutes for lunch, as they need to eat more,
so that they can look healthy.
* Normal size people get 15 minutes for lunch to get a balanced
meal to maintain their average figure.
* Chubby people get 5 minutes for lunch, because that's all the time
needed to drink a Slim-Fast.
Thank you for your loyalty to our company. We are here to provide
a positive employment experience. Therefore, all questions,
comments, concerns, complaints, frustrations, irritations,
aggravations, insinuations, al legations, accusations,
contemplations, consternation and input should be directed
elsewhere.
