SURF EXCEL

NOT MANY CAN TROD THE UNBEATEN PATH... WHEN SURF EXCEL GLORIFIED ‘STAINS’, IT DID PRECISELY THAT!
Advertisers swear by innovation in virtually every ad they conceive. But few can swear by ‘boldness’, of creating an ad on a path treaded by few, and ‘excelling’ at it, quite literally. To cut the chase, Surf Excel yet again revelled in creating a benchmark of sorts in June this year, in their latest commercial... this time actually managing to glorify dirt! Yes... we refer to Surf Excel’s Daag Acche Hain campaign, which definitely caught other detergent companies by surprise. This time round, the commercial has taken the product benefits to the consumer. Prod Priti Nair hakravarthy, Executive Creative Director, Lowe India on the challenge before her to repeat the stupendous feat that the first set of commercials had accomplished last year (remember the kids seeking revenge from a puddle), and she replies, “It was enormously challenging because this communication was clearly meant to drive a functional benefit, which was ten tough toclean areas.”

About IIPM > The Director

(As described by Professor Shubhoshekhar Bhattacharjee, Worldwide Head, Asia Development Intelligence Unit, and Faculty at IIPM, through his various interactions & talks with Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri)

"What does a rich country mean? Does it mean a country where a majority of people live above the poverty line? Or a country where even though many might die of hunger, the per capita GDP is high?"

"Would you say that India needs strengthening of the current democratic parliament for proper planned growth, or does India in reality need a government like that of China that borders on dictating changes required for coordinated economic development?"

No, these are not just any economic quiz trivia! These are, in fact, real examples of a question-answer session from a class on Comparative Planning conducted by Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri that I attended as a student at The Indian Institute of Planning & Management.

It would take umpteen number of interactions to really understand the expanse of knowledge that lies beneath that serious disposition. Knowledge that comes with a frustrating desperation at the slow or negative pace of improvement of human life in India and of India 's economic growth! Meet Dr. M. K. Chaudhuri, Professor of Comparative Planning at IIPM, who is known amongst international economists & his inspired students for his mind moving development models, some of the most innovative country comparison economic meters, and most importantly, irrefutable logic while analyzing situations. If these are what make interacting with Dr. Chaudhuri so lively, they also set him miles ahead from the rest of the breed of 'economists'.

"Rather than attempting to ape China and equal its national income, India should own up to its deficiencies and try to now reach the economic levels of probably a country like Malaysia," says Dr. Chaudhuri, a Ph.D & D.Sc holder from Berlin School of Economics, Germany, "Because I believe that with its present policies, India can never reach anywhere near China, even in the next 100 years..."

Born in a small city of Assam , an eastern state of India , Dr. Chaudhuri was always focused on education as a stepping stone for knowledge. Recalling the days while completing B. Sc from Presidency College in Calcutta ("We had a very visionary system of teaching"), the former IIM Bangalore & XLRI Jamshedpur professor also recommends that the reason for existence of every individual should be to support survival of the weakest, rather than survival of the fittest.
Quoting from his own example - he went through a very different experience while working with HLL (Unilever Group) as the Chief Economic Advisor in the initial years after completing the D.Sc from Berlin - Dr. Chaudhuri says that he decided to start IIPM because this was "an institution that could truly contribute to educating the management graduates of today that economic growth could occur only by coordinated & planned efforts between the government owned public sector and the private enterprises". In fact, during the time Dr. Chaudhuri founded the management courses department at IMT Ghaziabad, his experiences while interacting with the Indian Government's bureaucratic processes further strengthened his resolve to develop a totally government independent institution that could function without political prejudices.

Dr. Chaudhuri is credited with formulating the concept of Life Style Parity that is different from the concept of Purchasing Power Parity and looks at how two individuals living in different countries need not purchase the same items to get an equal level of satisfaction. His endeavours in developing the rural belts of India have developed into the most famous and massive Manav Vikas Kendras (Human Development Centers). With more than a hundred such centers running in various rural belts of India , Dr. Chaudhuri has provided a stepping stone to future promises like the Great Indian Dream Foundation.

Even with so many achievements behind him (though he modestly gives all the credit of his success to the people around him), Dr. Chaudhuri says that it's the future that holds greater accomplishments and promises. And in his own words, "If by giving away everything, I could rid India of its various misdemeanors, I would be privileged to give away everything many times over".

With the least surprise then that most of his students want to join him back in his various programs for national economic development, I hope and believe that what Dr. Chaudhuri has set out to achieve, would be obtained sooner than later...

IIPM Rankings

IIPM RANKED AHEAD OF FIVE OF THE IIMS RATED AS ONE OF THE FASTEST-RISING BUSINESS SCHOOL IN THE COUNTRY

Extenuating its spirited campaign 'Dare To Think Beyond the IIMs', IIPM surpassed the performance of 5 of the IIMs to be ranked 2nd (ahead of 5 of the IIMs) in the Business Barons' India's Best B-Schools Survey, January 2005, in the 'Industry Interface' index.

The survey specifically endorsed the entry of IIPM in the 'elite list' and rated it as one of the fastest-rising business school in the country. The survey placed IIPM at rank 8 over all (exceeding 2 of the IIMs) IIPM also got ranked 3rd for its quality of course content (exceeding 4 of the IIMs). AsProf. Arindam Chaudhuri, Dean - The Indian Institute of Planning & Management puts it "Industry Interface is perhaps the only index which involves no value judgements. It is measured purely in terms of the revenue earned from consulting assignments undertaken by an institute and its faculty. It's a direct reflection of how much the industry trusts your institute's education. When you know you are the best, its tough to accept even the over all ranking any less as it involves weightages based upon value judgements on other aspects like infrastructure etc." Further, the report appreciated Prof. Arindam Chaudhuri as " the best-selling author and economist, who has made IIPM more than a business school with his innovative socio-economic philosophy".IIPM made news in 2003-2004 when it got selected by United Nations Development Program as its key partner institution in India and got invited by World Bank Institute to be on its steering committee for a National Conference in Corporate Social Responsibility. IIPM was also in news when it surpassed the performance of five of the IIMs (Indian Institutes of Management) to be ranked second in Business Barons: India's Best B-Schools survey (June 2003), in the Industry Interface index.At IIPM the mood is upbeat and every one is brimming with confidence to prove it as the best management school in the country.


The institute ostensibly the largest in terms of student strength and one of the few widely networked schools of the country has been doing well for itself over the years experimenting and incorporating many of the aspects for management education of which most only would talk about. The ethos of the institute as such is in preparing its students managers with effective communication skills, an enquiring mind , hands on action and an ability to stand up to advertisers, in that order.The institute has modelled its business carefully on the lines of the popular US business schools empowering the students to learn the best by making available all support systems such as library and high quality internet connectivity and facilitating their enquiry through a series of faculty and process interventions through the year.


The institute is strong on economics owing to vision of its founder and its bold experimentation, for instance in getting its own faculty in large numbers to become faculty. The institute also offers a range of consultancy and training programmes and also support services for companies, the learning from which are passed on to the class rooms, a case of hands on learning.The institute has in place a number of collaborations with international universities and an institution run by management gurus and brings a large number of well known names to India exposing its students in the process to global developments in management. The curriculum is constantly updated. The focus is also in the intellectual capital augmentation through publishing of a large number of in-house and commercial journals and magazines touching upon a range of management, marketing, finance, brand building, customer relations, and economy subjects. The learning from these intellectual capital building exercises naturally is passed on to its students. IIPM’s network of seven branches helps bring its brand closer to students in different parts of the country which brings synergy to its endeavours.

This runt's got grunt!

Believe it or not, but a pig, (very unsuitably named ‘Cupcake’) which was just a pound and a half when a week old, has grown to be a 300 pound adult… three times than what it should have been at three years of age. And it’s no good news for the owner, who is all set to get rid of this behemoth after she had to get her septic tank repaired, which sadly happened to be right under the stomping ground of the boar! Who says bigger is always better?

INDIAN IN ASIA? INDONESIA...

THE GANDHIAN PHILOSOPHY IS BEING TAUGHT TO TINY-TOTS...

Based on the Gandhian principles of Non-violence and Truth, the Bali Canti Sena Foundation is imparting education to Indonesian children in the ‘Taman Kanak-Kanak’ (kindergarten) experiment. Since its inception in 1970, the initiative has successfully operated towards uplifting children in the Indonesian island of Bali. The initiative was incepted in a Gandhian Ashram named ‘Canti Dasa’. Starting with imparting interactive education with free lunches and health care programmes, this initiative at the time of its inception faced several hiccups due to the perceived religiosity in it.
