Real-World Investment Scenarios

The Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai, introduces the Real-life Investment Decision Experience (RIDE) elective, an experiential program designed specifically for finance majors enrolled in the PGDM program. Spearheaded by Professor Vishwanathan Iyer, Senior Associate Professor, Finance & Accounting, and Director of Accreditation, this unique program aims to provide firsthand experience in equity research and portfolio management to future managers.

Hands-on Learning for Future Managers

Announcing the program, Professor Vishwanathan Iyer, said, “While traditional investment management courses focus on theoretical knowledge, RIDE offers an unparalleled opportunity for students to manage a real investment fund with real money, with each team of five students handling a corpus of Rupees One Lakh for approximately eight to nine months. The program allocates a total corpus of Ten Lakhs, enabling students to apply academic insights to real-world investment scenarios.”

He added, “RIDE aims to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. Students learn to manage an actual investment fund professionally, applying financial market principles and procedures. RIDE distinguishes itself from trading-focused electives by fostering a long-term investment mindset. Unlike day-trading courses, RIDE encourages students to think like fund managers, with a horizon of nine months. While technical analysis remains integral, the emphasis is on strategic investment rather than short-term trading.”

Empowering Students for Market Realities

RIDE participants undergo rigorous preparation during their summer term, culminating in the submission of an investment proposal outlining their philosophy, stock selection, and risk management strategy. Teams manage their portfolios throughout the academic year, presenting their strategies to a panel of fund managers at the course’s conclusion. Structured as a 3-credit elective, RIDE evaluates students based on research reports, presentations, participation in practitioner sessions, investment diaries, and portfolio performance. The evaluation components ensure comprehensive learning and practical application of financial concepts.

Overall, the Real-life Investment Decision Experience (RIDE) elective at the Great Lakes Institute of Management, Chennai, represents a transformative leap in finance education. This pioneering program equips finance majors with practical skills and strategic insights essential for navigating the complexities of real-world investment management. By bridging the gap between theory and practice, RIDE empowers future managers to make informed decisions, manage risks effectively, and achieve long-term investment success. With its rigorous curriculum, firsthand approach, and focus on market realities, RIDE sets a new standard for experiential learning in finance education, ensuring that students emerge as proficient and confident investment professionals.

Combined with the product development team located in the western part of Pune we offer high competencies in engineering and production.”

The TCIL is the next step after the opening of the new TCI at the ultra-modern building in the Baner Balewadi district of Pune. The new Laboratory will support the product development activities for the Asian market by testing and validating upcoming innovations but also highly frequented products like lock sets and door handles that Huf is already supplying to global car manufacturers. The new TCIL will also take care of the annual requalification requirements emerging from other Asian and other global Huf locations.

IndiGo’s Ambitious Plan: 7-Minute Air Taxi Rides Between Delhi and Gurgaon by 2026

Indigo's 7-Minute Air Taxi Rides Between Delhi and Gurgaon by 2026

In a bid to revolutionize city travel, IndiGo, one of India’s leading airlines, is venturing into the realm of electric air taxis. Teaming up with Archer Aviation, a prominent U.S. company, IndiGo aims to introduce a groundbreaking air taxi service that promises to cut the travel time between Delhi and Gurgaon to a mere 7 minutes by 2026.

For many commuters, the daily grind of navigating through the congested roads between Delhi and Gurgaon has long been a source of frustration. But what if there was a way to bypass the traffic altogether and soar through the skies in just a fraction of the time?

Enter electric Vertical Take-Off and Landing (eVTOL) aircraft, the futuristic mode of transportation that IndiGo plans to deploy for its air taxi service. Imagine hopping into a flying taxi that effortlessly lifts off and lands vertically, resembling a helicopter but with quieter operation and enhanced safety features. These eVTOLs, capable of carrying four passengers along with a pilot, will offer a swift and seamless commute between Delhi’s bustling Connaught Place and the thriving business hub of Gurgaon.

The partnership between IndiGo and Archer Aviation is poised to shake up urban transportation not only in Delhi and Gurgaon but also in Mumbai and Bengaluru, where similar air taxi services are slated to be introduced. With Archer Aviation slated to provide 200 eVTOL aircraft for the Delhi-Gurgaon route alone, the stage is set for a transformative shift in how people traverse these bustling metropolises.

While the exact fare for these air taxi rides is yet to be determined, estimates suggest it could range between ₹2,000-3,000 per passenger. According to Adam Golstein, CEO of Archer Aviation, the cost for a 27-kilometre journey would be around Rs 1,500, making it an affordable option for commuters seeking a swift and convenient mode of travel.

Undoubtedly, this initiative holds immense promise for busy professionals and commuters weary of grappling with gridlocked roads. Moreover, it represents a significant stride towards cleaner and more sustainable transportation, as these air taxis will be powered by electricity, thereby reducing carbon emissions and environmental impact.

However, the road to realizing this vision is not without its challenges. Regulatory frameworks for eVTOL operations need to be established, and suitable landing spots must be identified to ensure safe and efficient operations. Nonetheless, if all goes according to plan, navigating between Delhi and Gurgaon could soon become a breeze, offering a glimpse into the future of urban mobility.

In essence, IndiGo’s ambitious endeavor to launch air taxi services heralds a new era of innovation and convenience in city travel, promising to reshape the urban landscape and elevate the commuting experience for millions of people across India. As the countdown to 2026 begins, all eyes are on the skies, eagerly anticipating the dawn of a new era in transportation.

Sets Industry Benchmark for #PeopleSuccess

The Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) India successfully concluded its inaugural PSE Leadership Forum last Friday (19th April 2024), bringing together distinguished HR leaders and professionals across Public Sector Undertakings (PSUs). The forum was a vibrant hub for discussing strategies, best practices, and innovations in people leadership within the PSU sector.

The forum was attended by senior leaders across sectors with noteworthy representation from Maharatnas, Navratnas, state and central PSE organizations like GAIL, SAIL, ONGC, IFFCO, Oil India, BHEL, RVNL, PFC,NBCC, Grid India, EIL, and others.

The event featured a keynote address by Shri D. Shivakumar, Operating Partner at Advent International Private Equity and a former CEO at Pepsico and Nokia India. There was also a thought-provoking TED Style Talk by Shri M Damodaran, Indian Corporate Advisor, Mentor, and Former Chairman, SEBI. Both addresses shed light on the evolving landscape of leadership and innovation within PSUs.

In conjunction with the forum, SHRM India PSE Team unveiled its flagship survey research report, SHRM PSE Trends 2024 – People Success. This comprehensive report delved into seven critical themes crucial for the future of PSUs: Developing Leaders for Tomorrow, Women Leadership, Community Impact, Health & Wellness, Learning & Development, Technology at Work, and Employee Benefits.

Achal Khanna, CEO of SHRM India, APAC & MENA, commented on the forum’s success, “This forum has set a new benchmark for discourse and development within India’s public sector. By bringing together the brightest minds in the industry, we have fostered a dynamic exchange of ideas that will undoubtedly propel our sector forward. We are particularly proud of the insights shared in our ‘ SHRM PSE Trends 2024’ report, which highlights a strong commitment to training and development with more than 87% of PSU participants confirming investment in these areas.”

Ashissh Kaul, Director, Knowledge & Advisory and Business Head, PSE at SHRM India, added, “The ‘SHRM PSE Trends 2024′ report has identified key areas for growth, including the need for enhanced learning methodologies and better support for gender diversity and technological adaptation.”

Our findings show that most participants express positivity, indicating a strong commitment to employee growth and skill enhancement. Overall, most participants felt that their organisation invests enough on L&D with 87% giving a positive response. However, when we sliced the data by levels, only 60% of participants across E2-E3 levels believed that their managers are well-equipped to coach & mentor the young workforce. This number further falls to 40% when we asked the same question to participants at E4-E5 level. Additionally, the report highlights a gap in technology training, with 56% of participants indicating a lack of investment in understanding the impact of generative AI and new technologies.

One of the other highlights from the report that was highlighted was while as 90% of the men tend to believe that their organisation has created a supportive ecosystem for women to succeed, contrastingly only 73% of women felt the same. Further the report also highlighted the fact while as 84% of men believed that their organization was making investment in the advancement of women empowerment, only 77% of women agree to the same.

“The PSE Leadership Forum is not just an event but a catalyst for sustained growth and innovation across public sectors. We are committed to continuing this journey, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and collaborative development,” concluded Khanna.

The forum was held at the Taj Palace, New Delhi, accommodating a large gathering of 100+ attendees and speakers across four sessions aimed at empowering PSEs for future challenges.

Think of Goa, and the picture that emerges before you is of verdant sun-kissed beaches, adventure sports, frolicking by the sea, fun, gaiety, laughter and togetherness. Goa is a holiday like no other. For those seeking to party, Goa is a massive rock concert. Its beaches, while offering a never-ending delight, also promise a relaxing time. There is so much to do in Goa, and you have so little time. To make the most of your Goa visit, you need to stay at one of the best resorts in Goa. Most importantly, if it’s available in budget-friendly packages, nothing can beat the experience.

While talking about most touristy places in Goa, North Goa takes the lead. It is not only considered to be the most hip and happening in the entire Goa but is also tourist’s No. 1 choice when it comes to selecting a place to stay. With so much on offer and the presence of some of the best resorts in North Goa, the question naturally arises: it must be costly. Moreover, beachside resorts are usually on the upper side. Therefore, for a person wanting to spend some time in Goa with his/her family budget is a constraint. Further, recent research by an independent research firm, IBRF, found that 70% of travellers to Goa post-pandemic look out for vacations at budget-friendly beach properties where they can stay, relax, eat and enjoy the beaches with their families.

However, since budget accommodation is a major concern, a clutch of suave businesses have taken the lead to capture the segment and besides coming up with some of the best homestays in North Goa for families located close to the beaches and priced them affordably.

Boho By The Beach, Goa’s premier family resort of 2024, is one of them, about 800 metres from the Morjim beach.

Morjim beach is known for its distinctive charm. An abode of a relaxing ambience, it is also one of the best places to stay in Goa. It also makes for a beautiful place to witness people indulge in activities like feni distilling and basket weaving among others. Morjim Beach is the heart of the vibrant coastal paradise of Goa.

Boho By The Beach offers an unparalleled blend of bohemian elegance and natural beauty, along with a host of other facilities that make it the ultimate destination for families seeking a memorable getaway. It is also one of the most sought-after family hotels at Morjim Beach in Goa. Staying here, you wake up to the soothing sounds of waves crashing against the shore, and as you leave your room, you will be surrounded by an oasis of lush greenery and pristine beaches. Boho By The Beach offers an immersive experience of Goa’s coastline. With 12 beautifully appointed rooms, Boho By The Beach is a boutique North Goa resort for families, where each room is designed to provide both comfort and elegance and is suitable for guests of all ages.

Staying at Boho By The Beach, the vacationers have discovered courteous staff, an exemplary menu, and a dedication to ensure an unforgettable experience. It also offers a leisurely stay with stunning views, making Boho By The Beach a perfect choice. The indulgences at the resort also include a leisurely lawn, rejuvenating swimming pool and spa. The resort also offers a relaxing indoor dining option. No visit to Boho By The Beach is complete without indulging in the sumptuous dining options, along with specially curated healthy breakfasts designed to tantalize taste buds and nourish your body.

Boho By The Beach is close to Goa’s renowned local market. It offers a glimpse of local life and culture, turning a leisurely walk into a memorable stroll.

However, there is more to Boho By The Beach than just the resort. The company managing the resort also runs a cafe adjacent to the Baga River in Anjuna. Called The Boho Box, it’s a sports-themed cafe and highly popular among tourists for its vibrant atmosphere and delectable cuisine.

Returning from Goa to the hustle and bustle of the city, the vacationers take back with them memories of a holiday in which the Boho By The Beach had a central place. The moniker Goa’s Premier Family Resort of 2024 for the boutique resort is well-earned.
