The Gods must be crazy! Well, that’s what a rational man in his right minds would say to his god fearing friend if the latter were to believe in the “Mahim Sweet-Water Miracle”! We, at Indicast are God fearing men as well, but, we fear science as much as we do God! There is a thin line between science and supernatural and we are careful not to disappoint God by believing in his “miracles” blindly!

20th August, 2006 marked the end of an era. Narayan Murthy, the founder and now, Chief Mentor of Infosys will not be on the payroll of Infosys anymore.

Damn! They spend millions in advertising and nobody seems to care. And, now, suddenly they breed a few bacteria in their products and the country sits up to take notice! Well, I don’t know whether advertising helps increase sales, but, negative publicity can sure hinder sales! Pepsi and Coke, the notorious giants are in the News again.

In this episode we have mentioned a few statistics from the CSE reports and a few other blogs. It wasn’t hard to conclude that it is far safer to have a glass of pepsi that to have a cup of tea!

We enter the 60th year of independence! Aditya rattles off interesting bits of trivia about the country. I play the devil’s advocate.

Tell us what you think.

Episode Notes:

• Cola Con: A highly opinionated Article
• Gurcharan Das, the former Vice President and Managing Director, Procter & Gamble Worldwide seems to agree with us on the cola issue! Or is it vice versa?
• Indra Nooyi in elite company, is only the 11th woman to head a Fortune 500 Co. - Pepsi Co!
• Hindustan Times Special coverage on i-day

CUT TO - A Beautiful Mind.
Scene - one
Setting: An Ivy league School freshers batch being addressed by the Dean.

“In medicine or economics, in technology or in space, battle lines are being drawn. To triumph we need results, publishable applicable results. Now who among you will be the next Morse, the next Einstein ? Who amoung you will be the vanguard of democracy, freedom and discovery ? Today we bequeath America’s future into your able hands. Welcome to Princeton gentlemen.”

Now, that’s a beautiful rant, ain’t it? It is well worth it if the school lives up to the braggadocio!

An MBA is the “in thing” in India among the “eager minds of tomorrow”. We are not complaining. We hold that degree too. What we are against is the unprofessional methods of conditioning these eager minds to pick one B School from the other by publishing half baked survey reports based on perceptions and sheer lack of homework.

Tell us what you think.

Also, we are waiting for Joe Palos, the winner of the Indicast t-shirt to post us his pic so we could put it up on our site!

Episode Notes:

• JAM carries a beautiful article on ‘The trouble with B school rankings.’
• Indicast’s Believe it or Not - Arindam Choudhry caught in the “act” AGAIN!!!
• Sachin Tendulkar can never be a 16 year old again. So, !@#% the injuries and join the team, Sach!!!!
• A comment on Sachin which we thought was worth a mention!
• Three weeks post the bomb blasts and the Police and the intelligence are still clueless.
