Online Channel Columnists Rohit Bansal
Rohit Bansal
Friends of Rajat
It’s extraordinary that friends of under trial Rajat Gupta have come together and created a digital media platform to support him in the open.
Indian Ponzi League
Yes, the headline seems affected by blabbering of a few unknown cricketers. But call it by any other name, the 800-pound Indian Phixed League marketing gorilla stands naked and shorn of moral halo.
Aamir & Clooney
Till Sunday, not even Aamir Khan might have imagined that his star power can change the terms of trade. Nor would sponsors of his Satyamev Jayate: Airtel, Acqua Guard, Coca-Cola, Johnson & Johnson, Skoda, Axis Bank, and Berger. Brave hearts all, as per the show's wiki page, they paid Rs 620 crore apiece.
Murdoch Massacre
Call no man happy until he is dead. Seldom is this philosophical remark truer than for Rupert Murdoch. In a few months, the mighty 81-year-old has been reduced to a caricature.
Vatsyayana Inc
My facebook post on Sony’s flirtation with “The Dirty Picture” stirred many. (Confession: I followed the standard FB formula, an arresting Vidya Balan picture backed the post).
Wanted by India Inc
I write this soon after a touching send off by St Stephen’s College for its final-year students, readying to join the work force. As many things Stephanian, an annual rigour of speeches and prizes goes by a unique (non-Stephanians may read “irritating”) name. But the point isn’t whether or not “Dismissal Service” should be described in a simpler way. It’s about what was said, as if by a thousand parched-for-talent CEOs of India Inc..
$1bn for 12 geeks
For the megabucks he has, Mark Zuckerberg paying $1 billion (approx. Rs 5,000 crore) for a free photo sharing application doesn’t startle very much.
Our $3-bn war
For most Businessmen in India, the war between Khartoum and Juba is an unending saga, deserving indifference.
Cement in Brics!
Some days back there was a snap debate on my facebook page three minutes before Jim Yong Kim was announced as US President Obama’s nominee for the position of World Bank chief. By choosing an American academic of Korean origin, I argued that Obama has stumped the BRICS (Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa) in their chorus for a more representational voice in the Bank.
Brand Chikoo
Virat Kohli is the fastest-rising stock in the Indian brand market.
