Hero Honda's Market Capitalization

Hero Honda’s market capitalization is now a whopping Rs.188 billion. One of the biggest weapons up the family’s sleeves has been their uncompromising capability to innovate and change with market dynamics. Headed by the visionary Brij Mohanlal Munjal, the Hero group has diversified into a number of businesses. In order to reduce dependence on a particular sector, the group is now into ITES (Hero Mindmine), finance, steel rolling and components. Now, in the relatively younger hands of Pawan and Pankaj Munjal, the Munjal family is undoubtedly a part of the business clan that have not only survived the ruthless brunt of intense foreign competition in the post liberalising period, but have beaten them hands down. One of the finest examples in our list of post-1991 survivors – and spectacular leaders – the Hero group, for the want of a better term, has redefined what heroes are really made of!

THE YUMMY YUM RINGING A ‘BELL’!

After the reining success of Pizza Hut and Kentucky Fried Chicken in India, ‘Yum! Restaurant’, the famous American fast-food chain is about to launch a Mexican fastfood chain named ‘Taco Bell’ in the country. This $24 billion company is first planning to open its stores in Hyderabad, Delhi, Bangalore, Agra and Mumbai. After managing 6,500 different stores around the world, now they are all geared up to leave a Mexican taste in the Indian’s mouth. But interestingly, there is no Kolkata and Chennai in their ‘hot’ list. At the moment, the strategy remains to focus on the above-mentioned cities for the third largest brand from the Yum! International kitty, but it seems that later on they will spread their wings in the other parts of India too. So far, the performance of both Pizza Hut and KFC in India has been quite good, but only time will decide how much will this Mexican spice lure the Indian consumers.

THE MUMMY OF THEM ALL!

The Pyramids and the Sphinx have attracted mathematicians, philosophers, theorists in large numbers, but that’s nothing to keep out our film fraternity. Stephen Sommers’ The Mummy and its sequel could necessarily not have done with a lesser locale but even Karan Johar could not resist cashing in on their inviting intrigue for a lilting number in his Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. The mystery of these magnificent structures, stemming from their great antiquity, complexity of construction, enormous size and physical grandeur, elicit awe like no other man-made edifice. Hosting the three great pyramids of khufu, khafra and menkaura along with the Sphinx, the Giza plateau simply leaves you spell-bound. Ain’t that enough to make history...?!

3... 2..1. FIRE!!!

COMING SOON, WAR FOR OCEANS...
The wars that have marked human history have had the signature of contests for scarce resources. And as resources deplete in the land, new frontiers are being opened for geo-political contests. The most likely happens to be the vast oceans that remain virtually entirely unconquered. It has been estimated that oceans have tremendous sources of energy and metallic remains within them that lie scattered on the abyssal plains. The poly metallic nodules within these oceans contain rich metallic remains of manganese, nickel, copper, iron and cobalt within them; some credible estimates put these to be around a smashing 500 billion tonnes. Not surprisingly, spread in almost all the oceans of the world, these metallic remains are most likely to be the sources of serious confrontations and contests (even wars) as technology develops for extracting them.
