India's longest-running soap opera now has a new name. Hindustan

Lever limited (HLL), the popular FMCG giant, has been spun-dried

into a new moniker: HUL, Hindustan Unilever Ltd. The name change,

which comes after 51 years of the Unilever subsidiary's existence in

India as HLL, had been in the pipeline for three years and involved

arduous deliberations with the multinational's own employees, its consumers and other

stakeholders.

HLL is a popular household name with its brands like Surf, Lux, Sunsilk, Pepsodent and Lifebuoy

touching the lives of two out of every three Indians each day. Its easily identifiable logo — formed

from the letters 'HLL' shaped in the form of a green colored leaf — is etched in consumers' minds.

TOI had hinted at the move over a year ago in its edition dated December 17, 2005, when they

talked about the possibility of HLL adopting an alternate name, Hindustan Unilever Ltd, instead

of the widely speculated Unilever India Ltd. They had pointed out then that it would be difficult for

the company to shake off the cultural baggage associated with the 'Hindustan' prefix.

In fact, shortly after announcing the appointment of Douglas Baillie, its first expat CEO in 45years in 2005, Harish Manwani, the Chairman and V-C M K Sharma had admitted to TOI that erasing the most important part of the MNC's strong Indian identity — its name and corporate logo — wasproving to be tricky because it was a sensitive issue.

"This is not an interim change. It is a well considered move," said Manwani at press meets. Explainingthe rationale, he said: "The name change retains the company's continued commitment towards itslocal roots while leveraging the global scale and reputation of Unilever with its consumers andstakeholders in India.” Unilever had created a uniform corporate brand across the world in line withits future directionof 'One Unilever'. The last of the Unilever subsidiaries to change their names wereNepal Lever, which became Unilever Nepal, and Nippon Lever, which became Unilever Japan. Theparent company, which holds a little over 51% in the Indian subsidiary, has been patiently waiting forthis change.

It is also learnt that three years back, in an internal and external survey, a majority had voted

against the name change. That explains why the company would have decided to retain the

prefix. HLL is the single largest operating company in Unilever world in revenues (Rs 12,103

crore in 2006), and it also contributes significantly to the Asia-AMET region’s growth.

HLL was also unique in the sense that, even though it is a multinational, it has had several Indian

stalwarts like Prakash Tandon, T Thomas, A S Ganguly, S M Datta, K B Dadiseth and M S

Banga, as chairman.

Going forward, this alignment with the Unilever tag is expected to assist the Indian subsidiary attract

global talent and new businesses, which includes raw material sourcing,product outsourcing,

new contracts, dealing with suppliers, among others.

Significance of print media“Newspapers cannot be defined by the second word -- paper. They’ve got to be defined by the first word -- news.”

New York Times publisher Arthur Sulzberg, Jr.

These words in crux reveal the secret about how print media has been able to survive centuries and is still is one of the most preferred medium of news to its readers.

It survived radio, television and the omnipresent internet . This makes one wonder why. In the times of 24*7 news channels where any news is a top story, and you get to know anything and everything, why are newspapers still being bought? Well! I Guess I answered my own question. Call it lack of space or whatever; print media still is a lighter shade of yellow as compared to the news channels. Its authenticity might just be a perception, owing to its long and enriched past, but its working.

The fact that the newspaper in particular, and print media in general has survived for so long gives us a lot to think of. This is not merely scraping out an existence; it’s the survival of the fittest and the most adaptable.

November 2007

Significance of print mediaPeople like me, who thought print media will soon become passé, underestimated the fragmentation of the media market. Right now it seems that there are thousands of alternate news sources, in print, on television and online, and that the scene is increasingly balkanized, especially when we're talking about sources of news and information as opposed to entertainment.

Fragmentation isn't such a bad thing, as people treat all the options like a smorgasbord and put together a combination of sources that's they tailor for themselves and that change over time. And the pitfalls of this “fragmentation”, like less-news-more-agenda thing, are working more in favour of print media than against. People who want to filter their news still rely on a newspaper sources.

As someone rightly said: "If you want to see television stations panic, go to a town where the newspapers are on strike."

Campus BuzzCultCommThe Cultural Committee of the Institute of Management, Nirma University, a.k.a. “Cult.Comm” is a committee formed of the students, by the students and for the students. It’s a fun-zingy place to be in if you are the proactive-innovative type of person, who loves to celebrate just the fact of being alive. Cult Comm. organizes almost every event from celebration of religious festivals to Talent Nights. In the last month Cult Comm. organised Ganesh Chaturthi, Navratri Pooja, Alumni Meet, Dussehara, and various other entertaining events. Furthermore, in the coming month Cult Comm. is planning to organise Nirma Cult Fest, Diwali celebrations and few competitions to give the budding talent in Nirma, a floor to spread out.

SumantraAs quoted by Edward P. Morgan, “A book is the only place in which you can examine a fragile thought without breaking it, or explore an explosive idea without fear it will go off in your face. It is one of the few havens remaining where a man's mind can get both provocation and privacy.” However, the worth of a book is to be measured by what you can carry away from it. This is where we come into picture. We, at Sumantra – The Book Club, help you select the right book, and thus try to help you increase your knowledge base.

This year we started with reviews like Veronica Decides to Die, It’s not about the Bike and lastly Dabawalas. We had a great interaction by Richa Sharma telling us why you should not judge a book by its cover. The journey of Sumantra has just started and there are many more reviews,

interactions, quizzes, innovative games and a lot more to come.

ExpressionsAlso known as the Literature Committee or “LITCOM”, it has consistently, over the time, tried to inculcate the importance of pursuing ones interests . In today’s modern world it is very important for a person to be presentable so that his contribution to the society is valued and recognized. Not just in the physical sense but one also has to display a certain level of expertise with regards to his eloquence only then is he seriously accepted and considered as a force to reckon with. Although, it was the last club to be formed. Its first meet in Oct’07, started with a blast as the crowd went berserk with enthusiasm. After a presentation on Break-dance, there was a round of Dumb charades followed by a unique kind of quiz. There was also a debate held at the end. Being the first meet held by the first year students it had its own share of fallouts. In the future,

the club is aiming at holding elocutions, debates and various other competitions which would test the participant’s oratory skills.

Horror-o-scopeAries

From the 8th onwards, you would experience improved relations with teachers and peers (No study in class room, combined efforts in midterm papers). Love blossoms all month (Is there any scope?). You are self driven to improve your personal image and appearance, and there is no better time to make lifestyle changes. (Anyone who has messed up his first term can do damage control).

Taurus

The festive season of November will bring happiness just before midterm. Pleasing social activities and perhaps even love can be found through your work (More and more people will be found doing combined studies in reading room). Career and reputation matters move forward, and progress is tangible (More and more companies will visit the campus for both summers and final placements).

Gemini

The most satisfying elements of your life in November are romance, pleasure, and creativity.(You have more opportunities to showcase your talents during Richter 1-10 and other extra curricular activities). You will witness reduced Cash and Fund flows in the latter part of the month. Give due importance to your career and studies and Lord Ganesha will take care of the rest.

Cancer

There is nothing quite like the peace we derive from a smooth-flowing domestic life, and this is what lifts your spirits this month. It’s an excellent period for entertaining from your home. However, getting your personal projects into motion may be a lesson in frustration from mid-month (time for your mid-terms). Expect more opportunities than usual to enjoy leisurely activities in November (Plan a trip to Goa).

Leo

Career matters are strong. Caution is in order until the fog lifts. Domestic matters demand attention, and you are likely to enjoy your home life more than usual. November is a comfortable, easygoing month for you, Leo (but don’t expect to sail through your exams without preparations).

Virgo

A sense of peace about your personal finances boosts your overall mood (people with work ex can expect their PFs to be released). Spending on frivolous items may be a lure, but you deserve some pampering. It can be hard for you to work together as a team, or to feel a strong level of camaraderie with friends, from mid-month (You will need to work as a team and not as a group to succeed in both intra and inter college events).

Horror-o-scope

LibraToning down aggression on the job will do wonders--otherwise you could find yourself butting your head against a brick wall. Be patient! Delays with work projects are likely for the next few weeks (especially with your group mates in case they turn out to be social loafers). Love opportunities arise on the 18-20 (although resources are limited try to avoid conflicts) and the 25-26. Finances are strong all month (but it doesn’t mean you spend all your money in eating outside).

ScorpioLove this month is privately delicious. Romantic secrets and sacrifices keep you feeling vital and irreplaceable. Career opportunities continue to seek you out. Friends are more demanding of your time, but increased social responsibilities make you feel needed (this means more work for the placecomm members who are Scorpios)!

SagittariusThe ability to count on friends in time of need carries you this month (lots of assignments in pipeline, use CUT-COPY-PASTE judiciously). Friendships flourish, and any missed connections or disagreements with friends become things of the past in November. If you need financial support, try to squeeze it in before mid-month, when delays and snags with finances can become an issue. You are heading towards a personal peak in December, when rewards for your efforts are tangible. Some rest and relaxation may be in order until the last week of November, when the pace of your life speeds up considerably (expect some good news in the last week of November).

Horror-o-scopeCapricorn

Any misconceptions and frustrations on the career front clear up beautifully this month (hope to get placed this month), dear Capricorn. Career and reputation confusions lift, and others read you loud and clear (making your choice for your majors and minors easy). You will need to cultivate patience in order to avoid frustration. Concentrate on your work, which is blossoming and especially fruitful.

AquariusYour adventuresome spirit and faith in life attract others to you. Attention to your career is necessary this month--you simply can’t escape attention or the demands of colleagues (High Time-Placements!!!). Some frustrations on the career front are likely. You will need to tone down your impatience with slower co-workers and stalled projects and prepare yourself for upcoming midterms and placements.

PiscesYou may be uncharacteristically aggressive or rash in affairs of the heart, tendencies that need to be kept in check especially after mid-month (this may be aggression of exams). Romance continues to be a strong focus all month (regular affair, nothing new)--there‘s absolutely nothing light or superficial about your feelings and those of a love interest. There may be some financial complications in November, but shared resources are strong (trust your friends; they don’t expect money from you). Opportunities for travel and education figure. Attention to family and personal matters is required in the last week of November, even if career demands run high. Grab opportunities on the 25-26.
