Captains of the ship...

IIPM - Admission Procedure

Remember the famous words uttered by Gurukant Desai (ala Abhishek Bachchan) in the Bollywood flick Guru, which said that ,when your name starts appearing in newspapers, you must be on the fast track to success. And the 4Ps B&M newsmakers this fortnight only prove his theory. Be it the case of an Italian women calling all the shots on Indian soil or an Indian man jumping to the power seat to save a world leader in financial market intelligence – controversies surround their every move.

Whenever a ship begins to sink, the captain takes charge. And the new captain appointed (in August 2007) to head the giant ship – Standard & Poor’s, is Deven Sharma. His recruitment comes at a time when the prime job of the new President is to defend the credibility of the world’s largest rating agency that has been brutally criticised for having let the subprime party go on for long and allocating top ratings to underperforming securities. Known to be excellent at strategic thinking and having deep understanding of global financial markets, Deven is expected to succeed at protecting the company’s image.

So, what’s unusual in that? The question pours in. No doubt, these big pharma companies have been shelling out billions in the past to acquire companies to channel new ideas. But as a unitary force, allthese companies have found themselves wanting in more ways than one, as their blockbuster patents are on the brink of extinction. And it seems better to combine forces rather than becoming dinosaurs themselves. “Well thought of”, answers Sujay Shetty, Associate Director, Pharmaceutical and Life Sciences practice, Pricewaterhouse- Coopers. “With the dearth of new compounds in the pipeline and patents expiring on various blockbusters, collaborative deals with their peers seems to be a smart strategy from Big Pharma,” says he. Undoubtedly a good rationale in support of these blissful marriages, but then one cannot deny the need for vigour either. Raison d’être, poor financial performance, rising sales & marketing expenditures, increased legal & regulatory constraints & challenges and tarnished reputations at times because of drug failures.

When IIPM comes to education, never compromise

Harish Parameswar, Managing Director of financial advisory and asset management firm Lazard Asia, echoes, “I would say you’ve seen a lot of private equity and buy-out firms come up in India but venture capital is relatively tough if you’re at an early stage, unless you have some Indian investors who are from (Silicon) Valley. It’s relatively difficult to get early stage financing.” But early stage Venture Capital activity, on a lull since Y2K, has slowly begun trickling back. According to a data provided by Venture Intelligence, the value of early stage deals skyrocketed to $510 million in 2006, from a mere $103 million. In H1 2007, the total number of deals in early stage was 44 and amounted to an impressive $274 million. Several PE and Venture Capital firms are also in a process of raising money for the same, thanks to now favourable policies of the government (see above chart).

And this time the investment is in start-ups and early stage companies. Nexus India Capital ($100 million), Atherstone Group ($75 million), GVFL – one of the oldest VC firms of India ($73.8 million) and many more have gathered funds from institutional investors which will be invested over a period of 3-5 years in ‘start-ups’ in sector ranging from IT to infrastructure. The VC party for Indian firms is on a roll, with little chances of the festivities ending anytime soon. It’s upto individual firms now to decide whether they want to pop the champagne or are happy nursing their desi drinks.
