        China is simultaneously a threat and an opportunity

        2018-06-12T12:55:24+00:00February 9th, 2017|2017/2018, February 2017, India & China, Year|

        Prime Minister Narendra Modi has struck a delicate balance of engaging with China where there is mutual benefit and standing up to the South Asian neighbour where India’s strategic interests demand. Dealing with China is arguably Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s most daunting foreign policy challenge. That’s because it is difficult to fit the Middle Kingdom into any of the comfortable stereotypes that Indian diplomats have got used to. The first problem is one of definition. How does one categorise China? [...]

          Exercise at the work place is an interesting subject because obviously one should be working when at the desk as opposed to doing lunges, hanging off the desk performing tricep exercises, stretching, bending and conducting all manner of cubical calisthenics. It’s just not very normal, is it?

            Indian companies Go Global as job makers

            2020-03-12T14:51:02+00:00February 9th, 2017|2017/2018, February 2017, Go Global, Year|

            India Inc. has envisioned its first-ever Go Global Expo & Conference 2017 as a hub for Indian companies on a decisive global expansion march as well as new start-ups ready for the leap. Here ‘India Global Business’ delves into the high-profile launch of the event in New Delhi.

            There was a time barely two centuries ago, when India accounted for 21 per cent of global trade and Great Britain barely 1 per cent. At the height of the British Empire, this relative ratio had been turned on its head, with the United Kingdom as the most dominant trading nation in the world with more than a one-fifth share of world trade and India reduced to a peripheral player with only a 1 per cent share.

              JSW Steel to restart US coal mining

              JSW SteelsJSW Steel plans to restart coking coal mining in the US, according to Indian media reports.

              JSW Steel owns nine coking coal mines with cumulative resources of 123 million tonnes at West Virginia in the US. These mines, which were acquired from a string of US-based companies in 2010, could not be developed due to a fall in coal prices following global financial crisis and the subsequent economic slowdown. Spot coking coal prices have more than trebled from $90 a tonne to $310 a tonne since July, on the back of strong demand from China and predictions of worst-ever cyclone in Australia.

              Seshagiri Rao, Joint Managing Director, JSW Steel, said: “We will restart coking coal mines in the US by March next year and then take up iron ore mining in Chile. We will not bring the coal to India but it will act as a financial hedge as we are largely dependent on imported coal to operate our plants in India.” International coking coal prices have gone up sharply because of Chinese imports.

                Improving India-China trade relations is key for Asian century

                Asian equations, specially between the two giant economies of China and India will be in focus with the installation of Donald Trump as the 45th US president. Trump’s belligerent ‘America First’ foreign and commercial policy stance, will in all likelihood, force China to curb its manufactured goods exports to the US, with whom it has a whopping and patently unsustainable trade surplus of nearly half a trillion dollars! It is unlikely that even US MNCs, which have huge export bases [...]
