Politics


1500-plus IIPM students placed across the country with 44 bagging international offers

Coup of the Year
Singh was proven king this year, once at the box office and when Manmohan Singh showed his skills at ‘Survivalonomics’. He not only staved off a no confidence motion moved against the UPA government on the N-Deal issue, but also went on to ultimately clinch the nuke deal!

The Counter Coup
Anti-incumbency became a casualty in the November 2008 Assembly elections, with Congress retaining Delhi, and BJP retaining Chhattisgarh & MP. Even Vasundhara Raje missed Rajasthan by only a whisker

This humble hack dares to be...


IIPM Admission Detail

This humble hack dares to be presumptuous enough to write with trepidation and a certain gumption that would hardly ruffle the feathers of a mighty and towering giant of an entrepreneur whose companies have been on a quest of global conquest in the last few years; albeit without the marauding violence and contempt displayed by the rampaging armies of George Bush Jr. I marvel at the vision, stamina, will power, fortitude, leadership skills and chutzpah you must have to manage a group with about 80 companies. I was an even more ardent admirer of your predecessor the late J.R.D. Tata.

Like all hacks, I was going through a bunch of newspapers the other morning when I stumbled upon this headline: “Tata Seeks Special Funds in Banks.” Like most hacks, I was curious; wondering if the mighty Ratan Tata now wants to buy up a bank or two after gobbling up Corus, Jaguar and Land Rover. After reading the story, I must admit I was puzzled; you may say even baffled and bamboozled. The question kept ringing in my humble head: the mighty Ratan Tata, the great global entrepreneur, the saviour of India Inc. and India, now going to the government with a hat in hand?

It seems you have found some time from your maddeningly busy schedule to write a letter to the humble Dr. Manmohan Singh. He must have felt elated because he was dejected when Barack Obama didn’t call him. In the letter, you have taken up the responsibility of saving the brightest jewels of India Inc. from distress and even disaster. In keeping with the Tata tradition of corporate ethics and social responsibility that was so exemplified by J.R.D. Tata, your mission is selfless and charitable. You want ‘select’ Indian banks to create a special contingency fund for ‘credit-worthy’ Indian companies. And what would that fund do? It would rescue allegedly top performing and leading ‘credit-worthy’ companies from despair, if the dollar and euro loans they have taken are recalled or have to be repaid in a hurry. That is because the global financial meltdown might compel many foreign banks and institutions desperate for liquidity to refuse to extend or roll over the loans after December 31, 2008, when they close their books of accounts. Visionary leader that you are, you have chosen to be pre-emptive and pro-active in saving the honour, the very izzat of ‘credit-worthy’ Indian companies and entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs that are not considered ‘credit-worthy’ by you have no izzat anyway.

“Many cosmetics contain animal by-products”


IIPM Admission Detail

Estella Lau of The Body Shop talks about how the beauty industry has seen a shift, with consumers wanting more natural products. By Savreen Gadhoke


Do you think that perception of the consumer toward natural products has changed since The Body Shop was launched three decades ago?
The Body Shop has a belief that nature’s way is the way to be beautiful. Natural ingredients used in our products are sourced from all corners of the earth to bring our customers the very best to enhance their natural beauty. The beauty industry has seen a shift, with consumers wanting more naturals in their skin care and make-up products. As knowledge & information becomes more accessible, consumers are more aware of the benefits of natural ingredients. They have also become more conscious of their health and have become more selective of the type of cosmetics and skin care products.

With so many beauty products floating around in the marketplace, how does The Body Shop maintain its base of customers?
The Body Shop recognises that the stresses of everyday modern living have taken a toll on customers’ lifestyles. This has led to the development of our new ‘Wellbeing’ range, which was recently launched. Each range contains active natural ingredients based on traditional herbal remedies providing top-rate performance formulations. Every product in the range contains of at least one Community Trade ingredient, so wellbeing needs are taken care of while a community benefits in the process.

After The Body Shop was sold to L’Oréal, was there any shift in the perception of the consumer toward it continuing to use natural ingredients? What efforts did The Body Shop take to sustain its brand image with the consumers?
L’Oréal has been committed to The Body Shop sitting as a separate entity within L’Oréal and has made it clear that we are to keep our existing identity and values. Because of this, our customers have been as supportive as ever of our business.

When you market your products, what attributes besides being natural, do you focus on?
When customers buy from The Body Shop, not only do they walk away with a quality product, customers also know that they are buying from a company that is working to have a positive impact in the world.

What about rumours that your products are not 100% natural?
The Body Shop is a global retailer of naturally inspired, ethically produced beauty & cosmetics products. Wherever possible, we source our natural ingredients such as plants, herbs, fruits, nuts and so forth from sustainable sources. We use naturally-based ingredients as constituents in our products, selected for their natural skin caring and moisturising properties and used in appropriate levels. As consumer safety is paramount, our formulations contain various levels of synthetics, preservatives & emulsifiers, which are needed to protect the products and consumers against bacteria, yeasts and moulds.

The Body Shop is also extremely committed to animal protection and we believe that no animal needs to be harmed to produce cosmetics. In 2007, we announced that all of The Body Shop products were ‘suitable for vegetarians,’ which means that our products are free of any ingredients resulting from animal slaughter, such as gelatin or animal hair. It may sound strange but many cosmetics do contain these animal by-products. Customers with strong vegetarian principles seek products that they can use without compromising their ethics, and we are keen to meet their needs.
