From The Financial Express, National Edition, January 24, 2004
The Tata Iron & Steel Company (Tisco) plans to bring down its workforce from 40,000 to around 20,000 in the next five years.
Also, the company is soon going to sign an agreement with its colliery union which would keep the company outside the ambit of National Coal Wage Award (NCWA).
“Tata Steel used to be an 80,000-employee company (in the early 1990s) producing 2 million tonne of steel; at present, we are 40,000, producing 5 million tonne and in five years we will be going 7.5 million tonne with 20,000 (employees),” said Niroop Mahanty, vice-president (HR), Tisco, on Saturday. He was delivering the keynote address here at the 5th National Industrial Relations Conference organized by the XLRI’s Forum for Industrial Relations (FIREX). “My productivity has gone up eight times,” he said. Answering how it happened, Mr Mahanty said, “We made them (the union) partners (in our plans)”.

Making her own Rules - Nidhi Reddy - 80 Batch
For Nidhi Reddy, XLRI alumnus, who runs Chennai-based Nidhi Reddy Consultants, success has been largely thanks to her “immense self-belief and being able to chart out her own path”, which has helped her face adversities and challenges with ease.

XL Centre For E-Business
Another door opens
A Special Story in Business Line, E-World Supplement, January 17, 2005
Let a student do his project on a topic that is of immediate use to industry. And what have you? A happy company, an elated student and a useful institute. Here's opening another door.
IT is yet another first-of-its-kind initiative taken by an institute of excellence that has set store by IT. XLRI Jamshedpur has set up a Centre for e-Business that aims to facilitate industry-academia interface. IT majors such as IBM, Navision and Polaris have agreed to partner in the project. Besides, the centre will help the Government of Jharkhand to implement e-Governance projects.
Says Prof Ashis K. Pani, Chairman of XLRI's Information Systems Area: "We are inviting industry to partner in this project and join the XLRI Centre for e-Business. And the response has been quite encouraging. However, actual participation from among industry will be clear in the next two years. Research will be focussed on the deployment of IT in areas such as marketing, finance and human resources development, the last area being the core strength of XLRI Jamshedpur."
To facilitate research in these areas, a seven-member core IT faculty has been put in place.
According to him, research students can now take up projects — such as one on human resources information systems — which could be of interest to industry. "At the end of the project, the student will get his Ph.D. while industry will benefit from the in-depth findings that would be borne out of the research work done by him."
Another area of collaborative work is where industry would provide the source code of their products that students and faculty at XLRI can access and work towards its improvisation. In such cases, the patent remains with XLRI but industry will be permitted to use the improvised codes.
One-Governance, the centre will identify successful models from among other States in the country and even abroad. "We will draw upon the best practices from the identified models and implement it in Jharkhand, after the necessary customisation", he says.
Prof Pani says the centre will also try to educate and assist small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in Jharkhand on how to deploy IT for competitive advantage. For instance, the centre will help SMEs to identify finance and HR products that best suit their requirements. The initial seed money required for setting up the XLRI Centre for e-Business has been provided by the institute, which is expected to be self-sustainable within the next three years. Talks are on with CII and Nasscom to mentor the centre and facilitate interaction with industry on a wider scale.
"Five years from now, we would expect companies like Wipro and Infosys to allocate 3-4 of their people to the XLRI Centre for e-Business to work on projects that would be of common interest and benefit all stakeholders", Prof Pani says hopefully.

Marketing Fair In The Hindu National Edition
XLRI's marketing fair
From The Hindu, Business Page, National Edition, Sunday, January 2, 2005
JAMSHEDPUR, JAN. 1. XLRI, Jamshedpur, is organising its 26th edition of marketing fair tomorrow. This year's edition involves corporate giants such as Colgate Palmolive, Reckitt Benckiser and BPCL to name a few.
"Over the past few years we have decided not to limit ourselves to FMCGs as market research is an inherent need of all companies," says Ritesh Bhardwaj, Secretary, Marketing Association of XLRI (MAXI), in a release.
Brooke Bond tasted success to the tune of Rs. 100 crores with the idea of newly packaged tea on the fair's recommendations. When ITC was making a foray into the biscuit market, it decided to rely on the Xler's ideas.
So is it just about game stalls set up in the fair to capture valuable data about consumer behaviour? Not quite. On one occasion, the students were seen networking with masons in and around Jamshedpur. This was for a paints major, who wanted to find out to what extent the decision is taken by the user and how much influence the mason is able to exert. This would help the company in tailoring its brand communications.
Over the years, XLRI has created a huge knowledge base about the lifestyle, attitudes and behaviour of the Jamshedpur population. This helps them in simulating exact clusters according to the companies' requirements.

XL SJR - a tradition gets established
back in Oct '00, the batch of 75 decided to land up at XL to celebrate their Silver Jubilee Reunion... and then the batches of 76, 77, 78, and then this last week of December '04 - the batch of 79...
I always thought that if this happens for a few years, we have a tradition in making.. and this has happened.... now the students, faculty and staff look forward to the SJR of batches at XL... and this month we are meeting to decide how we - from xl side - institutionalise this event as a regular part of XL life
just thought that this may be worth sharing...
the 79 batch has put up the pix of their SJR at:
www.xl79.com
[maintained by Subrat Mishra)

Crackling start
From The Financial Express, 10 Jan 2005
B-schools that took the placement plunge early this year have seen heady rewards
The recruiter’s verdict is the litmus test for any B-school’s talent pool.
At XLRI Jamshedpur, though the final placement will take place on March 5, the campus is abuzz with news trickling in of big lateral offers. Though the placement committee is tight-lipped about the companies participating this year, the grapevine has it that quite a number of new consultancies, including the Boston Consulting Group, have shown interest in XLRI.
Marketing, telecom, banks and FMCG companies have in the past always shown interest in this B-School. The trend is likely to continue, with indications being that the IT sector is looking at large numbers this time.
“XLRI is looking forward to a successful placement season; the trend projected by the lateral placement process has been encouraging and is expected to continue in the final placement,” is the official line at this point of time.

I happen to be the Managing Trustee of this network of 104 NGO's.
Our members have over a 100 volunteers working in Cuddalore, Kanyakumari, Nagai and Chennai, performing a variety of relief and rehabilitation work, as detailed herewith. I would commit that whatever contribution you make will reach the needy with professional value addition and minimal throughput cost. Would really value your gestures of kindness, at this hour of need. Pl feel free to contact me for any clarifications
