Era RMC on the

path of progress When one looks at the ever-swelling order book and projects pipeline of Era RMC, the first thought that conjures up is that the division has been in existence for a really long time.

It’s time to clear the air. Era RMC’s genesis as a strategic business unit of Era Infra Engineering transpired in the November 2007, although the company’s experience & expertise in custom-making RMC for complex and large projects goes back decades when it manufactured RMC in-house for its multiple projects.

That the RMC division has been growing at a brisk pace over the last few months is best vindicated with the project accretion on a monthly basis coupled with the extensive sectoral presence which they have as on date, manifest from the diagrams below:

Since its launch in October 2008 the mall has delivered on its promise. Consumers have access to leading international and domestic brands along with excellent entertainment options under one roof and for the brands, the rising footfalls has made it an attractive business proposition which more and more brands are encashing on. Latest to join the long list of brands with Era are Zad Plus, West Life, Aarvee Denim & Collumbus. That nothing succeeds like success could not be more apt, truer.

Levis and Reebok in Meerut city which is rated as tier 4 city on the map of Indian Retail industry and two previous shopping mall developments have failed. It took a lot of time and convincing to

Working together has been a satisfying experience because of get them at Era Mall. the fact that every team member played his part well and contributed towards the objective of leasing out the space in When ever we approached new brands for Era Mall, we faced Meerut Mall, to the right brands suited to the local tastes and people who had burned their fingers in Delhi / NCR by signing preferences of Meerut city. Experience of working together here non profitable locations during the mad rush. These people has been valuable and enriching as over a period of time we needed intense and regular follow up to make them understand developed a very smooth and cohesive working environment as to what a Mall in Meerut city will offer. Particularly brands like where every team member actually complimented each other’s Levis and Reebok needed a follow up over a period of six strengths and weaknesses in order to achieve the end result. months before finally saying yes to us.

The spirit of LESS OF I AND MORE OF WE was actually Even now, getting a good brand in sarees and Indian women practiced in its truest form by the retail team. ethnic wear category is taking time and efforts because

traditionally this category of apparel has always been sold in the old and settled high streets, across India. The nearest example is Karol Bagh and Chandni Chowk in Delhi. In the case of Meerut, the old markets of Sadar Bazaar and Abu Lane are strong as generations of retailers and their customers know each other by The biggest collective achievement for retail division is that in the their names for years and an old bonding is in place which plays face of falling and depressing sentiment in the retail industry during a key role in a society as emotional as India. the last nine to ten months, we have been able to arrest the exodus

of retail brands from our Meerut Mall, though a couple of brands decided to withdraw, owing to their internal reasons. The industry findings have shown that Delhi / NCR has been the worst hit by the phenomenon of loss making stores across all retail categories, as compared to parts of country.

Secondly, the presence of a three screen multiplex within the second floor and it has been performing beyond our the city limits acts as a big advantage because other running expectations. This format is only one of its kind in this part of multiplexes barring one are perceived locally as being little Uttar Pradesh and it has added a lot of value to our Mall. outside and inconvenient to reach.

Our anchor retailer Chunmun has taken the departmental store retailing in Meerut, to the next level and people in this city have seen a store of this size and design for the first time. Our findings post Chunmun opening tell us that even the strongest MBOs and departmental stores in Abu Lane took a hit on their sales

We are working towards raising the bar for ourselves by mixing because of Chunmun. The reason which can be easily attributed the brands which shall add both brand appeal and pure to this is that those high street markets are at a distance. Also, commercial success of value brands as Meerut is a market which the store has come up so well that people like to shop in such a is primarily driven by value. nicely designed and well lit store. Needles to say, the

merchandise available at Chunmun store is not there at any other place in Meerut.

Challenges are in the shape of an established high street in Our leasing efforts have helped us in understanding that retail Meerut. The only way to overcome this challenge is to promote shoppers in Meerut have good exposure and aspiration for the Era Mall as a destination which offers much more than brands in categories like apparel, footwear, gifts, accessories shopping because that only is going to be the edge we will have and fast food but their spending capacity in terms of frequency over these established high street markets of Meerut.

Because of this limitation we need to festivals, important national holidays and occasions are a must keep our Mall, abuzz with regular events and promotions, which to sustain the Mall as a place of first choice. will get us high volume of customer traffic to sustain the brands. We can take the benefit of the fact that we are right on the As far as the advantages are concerned, we get great amount of Meerut Delhi road and access to our Mall is very easy. comfort from the fact that Meerut city and its surroundings are

Also, people in Meerut give a lot target audience. All we need to do is to promote the Mall to of importance to leisure and entertainment components.

In memory of the 66 firemen who laid down their lives, 14th of April each year is celebrated, all over the country as Fire Service Day. A commemoration parade is held in which the names of all firemen who laid down their lives in the cause of duty is read out and wreaths are laid at the memorial column.

The significance of this day goes back to 1944 when a ship called "SS Port Stikins" berthed in Mumbai exploded. The explosion was so massive that a ship berthed in an adjacent dock, 400 feet long and weighing 4000 tons was lifted clear to a height of 50 feet and dropped on land. All the buildings in the Port Trust were on fire. An area of about 100 acres was completely burnt. Bulk grain stores continued to burn and smoulder for four months. It took 3 months to clear the debris.

The authorities decided to prevent further damage to Mumbai City by creating a 'Fire Lane' by dynamiting through the centre of the city. Though the portion on one side of the fire land was completely destroyed, the other portion remained intact. Even though the fire burned for weeks it did not cross the ' Fire Lane". Thus Mumbai was saved, giving us an insight into why Fire Safety Day is celebrated.

Lesson: Even though Chanakya was reputed and famous in Takshila, it does not mean he would be

famous in Patliputra too. So his asking for the debate is justified to prove his worth. Similarly, a high

performer' in one team or company needs to prove his worth in a new environment to gain the same tag.

Chanakya was prepared to face it. But he could try a different approach for the desired result. In the

corporate world, referral plays a major role in hiring key senior employees. If any of the key ministers of the Nandas had referred or introduced him, he might have

got the position.

Throughout history, wars have left an indelible mark on human psyche. Serious debates have been held on the morality of and the strategic necessity for war. And yet, like every dark cloud that has a silver lining, wars too at times leave a society wiser.

India is no stranger to wars. And there are many lessons to be learnt from each of those battles - management lessons, to be precise. This one picks out management gems from the role of the redoubtable Chanakya in the rise of the Maurya Empire.

Chanakya was also known as Kautilya and Vishnugupta. He wrote Arthashastra, the ancient Indian political thesis. There are several stories on Chanakya. One of them goes like this: Alexander's invasion of western India, circa 326 BC, led to political turmoil that provoked Chanakya, a renowned teacher of Takshila, to sew up a coalition to take on the Greek forces.

He tried to convince many kings, but none agreed to his plans. Finally, he came to Patliputra, the capital of Magadha, ruled by the powerful Nanda dynasty. He went to their palace and found ten golden thrones. Nine were for the Nanda princes and their father, and the tenth was for the most learned person. Chanakya quietly occupied it.

When the princes came back, they asked him to vacate the seat, but Chanakya didn't and demanded a debate to prove his supremacy. The Nandas rejected the debate demand and did not give him any position.

Y O U R S P A C E8

Chanakya did not vacate the golden seat, and the Nanda princes physically pulled him down. During this process, a lock of his hair got ruffled up. At this moment, Chanakya took a vow to redo the hair only after defeating the Nandas.

They were about to punish him with the death sentence, but one of the ministers prevailed upon the princes to forgive him. Chanakya went out of Magadha and met Chandragupta, who was waiting for him.

There are many stories on how Chanakya first met Chandragupta, but one thing was clear: Chanakya could sense the inherent qualities in Chandragupta and trained him as he wanted to build an empire by making him the king who could protect India from the Greek invasion.

It was a monumental task to build an efficient government for Chandragupta Maurya. Chanakya convinced Rakshasa to continue to be the minister of Chandragupta by sharing his grand vision of fighting against the invasion.

Chandragupta was able to leverage Rakshasa's excellent skills in administering the kingdom. Chanakya assumed the position of an elder statesman.

Lesson: Fearlessness, perseverance and patience are the key attributes of any leader. This helps in setting lofty goals and fuels the determination to achieve them by executing

against the well-laid-out plan.

Another great quality exhibited by the leader is in spotting' talents and grooming them to

take bigger challenges.

Lesson: One needs to perform and show results to be considered as a key resource. Key people are always in demand, but more

so during organization’s transformation.

People are the main asset. Their knowledge and expertise can provide a big leap to any activity. They should be retained.

Managers should not be biased in working with high performers' even if they used to work with their adversaries in

the past, provided the person maintains loyalty and confidentiality.

Top performers are attracted by lofty visions/goals and are willing to face difficult challenges.

Meanwhile, Chandragupta started helping the people of Magadha. His popularity started soaring. This acted as a threat to Nandas. The Nandas had an intelligent minister in Amatya Rakshasa. He advised the Nandas to kill Chandragupta. Jeevasidhi learnt of the plan and helped Chandragupta escape.

Chanakya encouraged Chandragupta to take over the Magadha throne. Chandragupta networked with people and built the Mauryan army. Most of them were people disillusioned and unhappy with the Nanda rule. Chanakya and Chandragupta Maurya announced a battle plan and ensured that the Nanda army could be diverted to reach a distant battlefield to fight the Mauryan army.

In the meantime, a civil war erupted in Magadha. Chanakya maneuvered popular support for Chandragupta and the Nandas were uprooted without any fight.

Lesson: A peaceful handover to the new management is desirable as it saves the

company from infighting that could weaken it. It would be faster and fruitful to scale new

heights from a stable company rather than a wrecked one. It helped Maurya kings to reach new heights faster not only due to their great

leadership skills, but also due to peaceful transition.

The Arrival…

Little fingers curl up tight to make a tiny fist,As fairy lips purse out as if to make a gentle kiss. . .

Eyes, wide as a kitten's, and little button nose,You look like someone's angel--down to your pudgy toes. . .

Although you are so wrinkled and your face is still so pale,And the only song you seem to know sounds like a shrilling wail,

When you are here before me, finally, I feel complete.I've waited so long, sweetheart. . . at last, we finally meet.

Baisakhi Festival falls on the 13th of April and marks the beginning of the solar year.

The auspicious day of Baisakhi is celebrated all over India albeit under different names and with different set of rituals. People of Assam celebrate April 13 as Rongali Bihu, while those in West Bengal celebrate it as Naba Barsha. Bihar celebrates Baisakhi as Vaishakha in honour of the Sun God, Surya while Kerala celebrates it as Vishu and Tamil Nadu as Puthandu. In Kashmir, a ceremonial bath and general festivity mark Baisakhi while in Himachal Pradesh devotees flock to the temple of Jwalamukhi to celebrate Baisakhi.

People of North India, particularly Punjab thank God for a good harvest. Visit to the Gurudwaras, Baisakhi processions and traditional performances are the highlights of the day. Baisakhi has special significance for Sikhs as on this day in

Believe in GodIt's the attitude not the aptitude,that defines the altitude !!!Arthur Ashe, the legendary Wimbledon player was dying of AIDS. From the world over, he received letters from his fans, one of which conveyed : “Why does GOD have to select you for such a bad disease”?To this Arthur Ashe replied : “The world over – 5 crore children start playing tennis, 50 lakh learn to play tennis, 5 lakh learn professional tennis, 50,000 come to the circuit, 5000 reach the grand slams, 50 reach Wimbledon, 4 to semifinal, 2 to the finals. When I was a winner I never asked GOD 'Why Me?', so today when I'm in pain I should not be asking 'Why Me?' “.
