"defending civilization against bugs"

Sir Ronald Ross had just returned from an expedition to Sierra Leone. The British doctor had been leading efforts to tackle the malaria that so often killed English colonists in the country, and in December 1899 he gave a lecture to the Liverpool Chamber of Commerce [...]. [H]e argued that "in the coming century, the success of imperialism will depend largely upon success with the microscope."

[A]s [...] Diane Nelson explains: The creation of transportation infrastructure such as canals and railroads, the deployment of armies, and the clearing of ground to plant tropical products all had to confront [...] microbial resistance. The French, British, and US raced to find a cure for malaria [...]. One French colonial official complained in 1908: “fever and dysentery are the ‘generals’ that defend hot countries against our incursions and prevent us from replacing the aborigines that we have to make use of.” [...] [T]ropical medicine was assigned the role of a “counterinsurgent field.” [...] [T]he discovery of mosquitoes as malaria and yellow fever carriers reawakened long-cherished plans such as the construction of the Panama Canal (1904-1914) [...]. In 1916, the director of the US Bureau of Entomology and longtime general secretary of the American Association for the Advancement of Science rejoiced at this success as “an object lesson for the sanitarians of the world” - it demonstrated “that it is possible for the white race to live healthfully in the tropics.” [...] The [...] measures to combat dangerous diseases always had the collateral benefit of social pacification. In 1918, [G.V.], president of the Rockefeller Foundation, candidly declared: “For purposes of placating primitive and suspicious peoples, medicine has some decided advantages over machine guns." The construction of the Panama Canal [...] advanced the military expansion of the United States in the Caribbean. The US occupation of the Canal Zone had already brought racist Jim Crow laws [to Panama] [...]. Besides the [...] expansion of vice squads and prophylaxis stations, during the night women were picked up all over the city [by US authorities] and forcibly tested for [...] diseases [...] [and] they were detained in something between a prison and hospital for up to six months [...] [as] women in Panama were becoming objects of surveillance [...].

Richard P. Strong [had been] recently appointed director of Harvard’s new Department of Tropical Medicine [...]. In 1914 [the same year of the Canal's completion], just one year after the creation of Harvard’s Department of Tropical Medicine, Strong took on an additional assignment that cemented the ties between his department and American business interests abroad. As newly appointed director of the Laboratories of the Hospitals and of Research Work of United Fruit Company, he set sail in July 1914 to United Fruit plantations in Cuba, Guatemala, Honduras, Costa Rica, and Panama. […] As a shareholder in two British rubber plantations, [...] Strong approached Harvey Firestone, chief executive of the tire and rubber-processing conglomerate that bore his name, in December 1925 with a proposal [...]. Firestone had negotiated tentative agreements in 1925 with the Liberian government for [...] a 99-year concession to optionally lease up to a million acres of Liberian land for rubber plantations. [...]

[I]nfluenced by the recommendations and financial backing of Harvard alumni such as Philippine governor Gen. William Cameron Forbes [the Philippines were under US military occupation] and patrons such as Edward Atkins, who were making their wealth in the banana and sugarcane industries, Harvard hired Strong, then head of the Philippine Bureau of Science’s Biological Laboratory [where he fatally infected unknowing test subject prisoners with bubonic plague], and personal physician to Forbes, to establish the second Department of Tropical Medicine in the United States [...]. Strong and Forbes both left Manila [Philippines] for Boston in 1913. [...] Forbes [US military governor of occupied Philippines] became an overseer to Harvard University and a director of United Fruit Company, the agricultural products marketing conglomerate best known for its extensive holdings of banana plantations throughout Central America. […] In 1912 United Fruit controlled over 300,000 acres of land in the tropics [...] and a ready supply of [...] samples taken from the company’s hospitals and surrounding plantations, Strong boasted that no “tropical school of medicine in the world … had such an asset. [...] It is something of a victory [...]. We could not for a million dollars procure such advantages.” Over the next two decades, he established a research funding model reliant on the medical and biological services the Harvard department could provide US-based multinational firms in enhancing their overseas production and trade in coffee, bananas, rubber, oil, and other tropical commodities [...] as they transformed landscapes across the globe.

[On] February 20, 1915, [...] [t]o signal the opening of the Panama-Pacific International Exposition (PPIE), [...] [t]he fair did not officially commence [...] until President Wilson [...] pressed a golden key linked to an aerial tower [...] whose radio waves sparked the top of the Tower of Jewels, tripped a galvanometer, [...] swinging open the doors of the Palace of Machinery, where a massive diesel engine started to rotate. [...] [W]ith lavish festivities [...] nineteen million people has passed through the PPIE's turnstiles. [...] As one of the many promotional pamphlets declared, "California marks the limit of the geographical progress of civilization. For unnumbered centuries the course of empire has been steadily to the west." [...] One subject that received an enormous amount of time and space was [...] the areas of race betterment and tropical medicine. Indeed, the fair's official poster, the "Thirteenth Labor of Hercules," [the construction of the Panama Canal] symbolized the intertwined significance of these two concerns [...]. [I]n the 1910s public health and eugenics crusaders alike moved with little or no friction between [...] [calls] for classification of human intelligence, for immigration restriction, for the promotion of the sterilization and segregation of the "unfit," [...]. It was during this [...] moment, [...] that California's burgeoning eugenicist movement coalesced [...]. At meetings convened during the PPIE, a heterogenous group of sanitary experts, [...] medical superintendents, psychologists, [...] and anthropologists established a social network that would influence eugenics on the national level in the years to come. [...]

In his address titled "The Physician as Pioneer," the president-elect of the American Academy of Medicine, Dr. Woods Hutchinson, credited the colonization of the Mississippi Valley to the discovery of quinine [...] and then told his audience that for progress to proceed apace in the current "age of the insect," the stringent sanitary regime imposed and perfected by Gorgas in the Canal Zone was the sine qua non. [...]

Blue also took part in the conference of the American Society for Tropical Medicine, which Gorgas had cofounded five years after the annexation of Cuba, Puerto Rico, and the Philippines. Invoking the narrative of medico-military conquest [...], [t]he scientific skill of the United States was also touted at the Pan-American Medical Congress, where its president, Dr. Charles L. Reed, delivered a lengthy address praising the hemispheric security ensured by the 1823 Monroe Doctrine and "the combined genius of American medical scientists [...]" in quelling tropical diseases, above all yellow fever, in the Canal Zone. [...] [A]s Reed's lecture ultimately disclosed, his understanding of Pan-American medical progress was based [...] on the enlightened effects of "Aryan blood" in American lands. [...] [T]he week after the PPIE ended, Pierce was ordered to Laredo, Texas, to investigate several incidents of typhus fever on the border [...]. Pierce was instrumental in fusing tropical medicine and race betterment [...] guided by more than a decade of experience in [...] sanitation in Panama [...]. [I]n August 1915, Stanford's chancellor, David Starr Jordan [...] and Pierce were the guests of honor at a luncheon hosted by the Race Betterment Foundation. [...] [At the PPIE] [t]he Race Betterment booth [...] exhibit [...] won a bronze medal for "illustrating evidences and causes of race degeneration and methods and agencies of race betterment," [and] made eugenics a daily feature of the PPIE. [...] [T]he American Genetics Association's Eugenics Section convened [...] [and] talks were delivered on the intersection of eugenics and sociology, [...] the need for broadened sterilization laws, and the medical inspection of immigrants [...]. Moreover, the PPIE fostered the cross-fertilization of tropical medicine and race betterment at a critical moment of transition in modern medicine in American society.

incoming rant: the robotification of women

teri baaton mein aisa uljha jiya (2024) is among the latest movies in the genre of science fiction romance. it reminded me of an old itv show bahu hamari rajnikant (2016) , while i wasn't an avid watcher of the latter, i knew of it's existence. why did it remind of that particular sitcom? well, mainly because of the comedy. but it also reminded me of similar themes in english movies like ex machina (2015), wifelike (2022), archive (2020) and her (2013), which is surely a bit far fetched considering that in her, the ai never had a body. only a voice.

here, i think it's impertinent to also acknowledge male robots in indian cinema, like chitti from robot/enthiran (2010) and g.one from ra.one (2011) even though he wasn't an actual robot? i don't know if he classifies as one. so let's say, non-human, programming-based male entity (nhpbme). similar to samantha in her, a non-human, programming-based female entity (nhpbfe).

so yes, while male robots and nhpbme do exist in the sci-fi romance genre, it's the comparatively larger robotification of women that feeds the male gaze, and the patriarchy by an extention— which is ultimately problematic.

coming to the movie that i actually want to discuss, kriti sanon's sifra, in tbmauj, is the perfect lover, perfect bahu. why? she knows everything aaru (shahid kapoor) likes and wants. she has no chik-chik or tantrums like other girls. she can make cuisines from all around the world, can access everything on the internet quickly. she has perfect skin, perfect hair. probably doesn't age too. she is the dream girl of a typical man. she doesn't have her own opinions or problems, she serves him and him alone. no family of hers to care about, she can care about his family and their needs. the female gendering here acts like objectification.

the worst part of this movie was that it didn't do anything? since it was a comedy, it didn't delve deeper into the nuances of increasing technological reliance that humans have. i think it was probably meant as a warning— when sifra malfunctions and starts executing tasks that were deleted. but even at that, it fails because urmila's (dimple kapadia) company (so intelligently named) e-robots/robotex (something stupid like that), ends up launching her along with few other robots. only adds a dialogue which meant that you need to handle these robots responsibly. then, what was the point of all the testing they tried to do? placing her in different environments like india, when they don't really end up rethinking the whole idea or putting in more safety features? of course, there's no deeper meaning here. indian comedies don't really have subtext.

but it's perpetuates the same old concept of subservient women. rule-followers and caregivers. an image etched in stone. why do women ask– what do men want? men want this, an ideal version. have always wanted. fuelled by the unrealistic p*rn depictions. do they ever think what women want? aaru so casually tells off his friend who has a wife to look at how pathetic his own life is. he defends sifra's un-emotional response to a situation by attacking his friend's relationship asking if human women are any better?

it reminded me of wifelike (2022) where female robots are curated according to a person's need, a replication of their dead spouse. to love them, to serve them, to help them come out of grief. it's so funny to me how in tbmauj, sifra is shown to retain her feelings, getting jealous when aaru interacts with another woman despite getting reprogrammed; compared to how in wifelike, the robotic version of the human it was based on, always ended up leaving the husband because the human version never loved him.

isn't it interesting how female robots instantly get sexualised, and are depicted doing things that one would never ask their girlfriend or wife to do? these robots happily perform roles that are stereotypically feminine, wife-like. they're invented to put aside their feelings (if they have them) to take care of their human partners'. sifra cooks perfect food, emphasized by how many time aaru fired his maid for not cooking things the way he likes it. she probably doesn't have mood swings from periods because she's a robot. she doesn't eat, doesn't get out of shape. and most importantly, she doesn't age (cue: i'll get old but your lovers stay my age). as if the expectations from women aren't enough, that they're required to age gracefully, or best option— not age at all.

if you still don't get it, let me remind you how siri and alexa also end up on the same side of gender spectrum— female.

so the message is, guys, don't give up on your dream girl! you'll surely find a robot that satisfies all your needs! 🙄

men want perfect women, but women can't be robots. let's stop perpetuating the same image and setting unrealistic standards. real humans have real problems, deal with them.

#bollywood #desiblr #this movie made me so angry like??#what do you mean to be continued?#bad bad bad writing #who let them make this movie #did they even question what they're actually contributing to the cinematic culture?#phuljari's review

Remembering #KamalAmrohi on his 31st death anniversary (11/02/93).

As a director, he developed a style that combined a stylised direction with minimalist performances. This style was different from the one with expressive acting that was common in the Indian cinema of his period.

Kamal Amrohi was born in Amroha, which was part of British India and is now in Uttar Pradesh, India. He changed his name to Kamal Amrohi later. He was related to two Pakistani writers, Jaun Elia and Rais Amrohvi, as their first cousin. In 1938, Kamal left his hometown to study in Lahore, which is now in Pakistan. There, a singer named K. L. Saigal found him and brought him to Mumbai to work in films. He started his film career at Sohrab Modi's film company, Minerva Movietone, and worked on movies like "Jailor," "Pukar," and "Bharosa."

Kamal Amrohi became a film director in 1949 with his first movie "Mahal," which had famous actors Madhubala and Ashok Kumar. This movie was known for its music. He directed only four movies in total, including "Daaera" with Meena Kumari and Nasir Khan, and "Pakeezah," which took a long time to make and was released in 1972. "Pakeezah" is considered a special movie in India, even though it had some flaws. Meena Kumari, who was a famous actress and Kamal's wife, praised "Pakeezah" as Kamal's tribute to her. His last movie was "Razia Sultan" in 1983. He also started making a film called "Majnoon" but it was never finished.

Kamal Amrohi also wrote scripts for other directors and was one of the writers for the famous movie "Mughal-e-Azam" in 1960, which won him an award. His style of directing was known for being different and unique, focusing more on the visual style and less on dramatic acting.

In 1958, he opened a studio named Kamaal Studios, but it closed after three years. He had planned to make another movie called "Aakhri Mughal" but it was never made. Film maker J P Dutta wanted to make this movie in the late 1990s and again in 2007, but it didn't happen. Kamal Amrohi died on February 11, 1993, in Mumbai, 21 years after his wife, Meena Kumari, passed away. He was buried next to her in Mumbai.

Six days after he died, a newspaper in the UK called The Independent wrote about him, saying he was a big figure in the Hindi film industry for over 50 years.

22nd Wednesday

Running under double reefed Topsails and foresail. Sighted Prince Edwards Isles: neared them in the afternoon and passed them in the first watch. The Snow was lying on The high Land in great quantitys and the air very cold. Several very handsome Cape Pigeons flying about. Slight Snow Shower.

Campbell's Notes:

Prince Edward Isles, Marion (Latitude 46°55'S, Longitude 37°45'E) and Prince Edward (Latitude 46°54'S, Longitude 37°42'E) Islands, may have been sighted by a vessel of the Vereenigde Oostindische Compagnie (Dutch East India Company), the Maerseveen, on passage from Cape of Good Hope to Batavia in 1663 and called Dina and Maerseveen, but were definitely sighted by Marion Dufresne on 13 January and Crozet Island on 23 January 1772. (Headland, Chronological, p. 12 and Duyker, An Officer, p. 175.) Prince Edward Island was named by Captain Cook, 12 December 1776 ‘As thise islands have no name in the French Chart, I shall distinguish the two we have seen by the name Prince Edward Islands after His Majesty's 4th Son, and the others Morion and Crozets Islands.’ (Beaglehole, Journals…Resolution and Discovery, I. pp. 25–6.) Prince Edward was Edward Augustus, Duke of Kent, 4th son of King George III. He married Victoria Mary Louise, widow of Emich Charles, Prince of Leiningen and daughter of Francis, Duke of SaxeCoburg and Saalfield and had one daughter, Victoria, who became Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain &c.

Cape Pigeons, or Pintado Petrel, Daption capensis. Roberts, Edward Wilson's Birds, p. 94. Hadoram Shirihai, Complete Guide to Antarctic Wildlife, pp. 139–41, gives modern form Daption capense.

Private Oil and Gas Companies: Driving Innovation in the Energy Sector

Source: Image by avigatorphotographer's Images

Category: Conventional Energy

The global energy sector has long been dominated by government-owned entities, especially in countries rich in oil and gas resources. However, private oil and gas companies have steadily gained prominence, playing a crucial role in the exploration, production, and distribution of these critical energy sources. In many parts of the world, including India, these companies are not only contributing to energy security but also driving innovation through the adoption of new technologies, sustainable practices, and efficient management techniques. In this article, we will explore the rise of private oil and gas companies, their impact on the industry, and the future they are helping to shape.

The Evolution of Private Oil and Gas Companies

Historically, the energy sector was tightly controlled by state-owned enterprises (SOEs) due to the strategic importance of oil and gas. Governments considered these resources national assets, closely regulating their extraction and distribution. However, as economies grew and the energy demand surged, many nations recognized the need for efficiency, technological advancements, and additional investment, leading to the gradual privatization of some segments of the oil and gas industry.

In India, for example, government-controlled behemoths like ONGC and Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) were the primary players for decades. But in recent years, private oil and gas companies such as Reliance Industries Limited and Cairn Energy have emerged as key competitors, driving growth and innovation. This shift has not only boosted competition but also improved the overall efficiency of the sector, allowing for better pricing, increased energy availability, and faster adoption of modern techniques.

Role of Private Oil and Gas Companies in Exploration and Production

Exploration and production (E&P) activities are critical to the success of the oil and gas industry. This segment involves locating new oil and gas reserves and extracting these resources in a cost-effective manner. In this area, private oil and gas companies have been instrumental in pushing boundaries, particularly in difficult-to-reach areas such as offshore locations and unconventional reserves like shale gas.

For instance, Reliance Industries, one of India’s largest private sector companies, has made significant strides in offshore drilling, particularly in the Krishna-Godavari Basin. Their ability to take on high-risk projects, backed by substantial private investment, has allowed them to pioneer new methods of extraction, often ahead of their state-owned counterparts. This has been a key factor in India’s quest to reduce its dependence on oil imports.

In addition to Reliance, Cairn India (now Vedanta Ltd) has also made a significant impact in the E&P sector. Its discovery of oil in the Rajasthan Barmer basin was one of the largest onshore oil discoveries in India, demonstrating the importance of private oil and gas companies in securing new reserves and boosting domestic production.

Technology and Innovation: The Private Sector’s Edge

One of the significant advantages of private oil and gas companies is their ability to invest in cutting-edge technologies that improve the efficiency and sustainability of their operations. This includes advanced seismic imaging, enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, and digitalization of oil fields through automation and artificial intelligence.

In the case of shale gas and tight oil, which require complex and costly extraction processes like hydraulic fracturing (fracking), private firms have led the way. In the United States, private companies were at the forefront of the shale revolution, using innovative drilling techniques to unlock vast reserves previously deemed uneconomical. This has had a profound impact on global oil prices, supply chains, and energy geopolitics.

In India, too, the adoption of new technologies by private players is helping to improve the efficiency of oil and gas extraction. Companies like Reliance and Cairn have invested heavily in digital transformation, using data analytics, real-time monitoring systems, and predictive maintenance to reduce downtime and operational costs. These advancements not only make extraction more profitable but also contribute to environmental sustainability by reducing emissions and minimizing energy waste.

Contribution to Energy Security

Energy security remains a critical concern for most countries, especially those heavily reliant on oil imports, such as India. Private oil and gas companies play a pivotal role in enhancing energy security by boosting domestic production and reducing dependence on foreign oil.

For instance, the development of India’s strategic petroleum reserves (SPR) has been supported by private firms. These reserves act as a buffer during times of supply disruptions, ensuring that the country has access to critical fuel supplies in times of crisis. Private players’ participation in this initiative underscores their importance in safeguarding the nation’s energy needs.

Moreover, the global footprint of some private Indian oil companies has also contributed to energy security. By acquiring assets abroad, such as Reliance’s investment in shale gas fields in the United States, these companies diversify the sources of oil and gas, insulating India from global market shocks.

Sustainability and the Future of Private Oil and Gas Companies

As the world moves towards cleaner energy sources, the oil and gas sector is under increasing pressure to adopt sustainable practices. Private oil and gas companies have been quicker to embrace the energy transition compared to their state-owned counterparts. Many are already investing in renewable energy, carbon capture and storage (CCS) technologies, and reducing their carbon footprints through more efficient processes.

For example, global oil giants like BP and Shell have committed to becoming net-zero carbon emitters by 2050. In India, too, private firms are exploring ways to reduce emissions and invest in renewable energy. Reliance Industries has announced its plans to achieve net carbon zero by 2035, underscoring its commitment to sustainability. This move aligns with the broader global trend where private oil and gas companies are diversifying their portfolios to include cleaner, greener energy solutions, thus contributing to a more sustainable future.

Challenges and the Road Ahead

https://oilgasenergymagazine.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/12/21.3-Volatile-oil-prices-regulatory-hurdles-Image-by-Anoop-VS-from-Pexels.jpg

While private oil and gas companies have made significant contributions to the industry, they face several challenges. Volatile oil prices, regulatory hurdles, and increasing environmental concerns present risks to their operations. Additionally, the growing push toward renewable energy sources poses a long-term threat to the traditional oil and gas business model.

To remain competitive, these companies will need to continue innovating, adopting sustainable practices, and diversifying their energy portfolios. Collaboration with governments on policy frameworks that encourage cleaner energy while ensuring the continued importance of oil and gas in the short to medium term will be essential for their survival and growth.

Conclusion

The rise of private oil and gas companies marks a pivotal shift in the global energy landscape. By driving technological innovation, improving efficiency, and contributing to energy security, these companies play a crucial role in shaping the future of the oil and gas industry. As the world transitions towards cleaner energy, private firms are well-positioned to lead the way, ensuring a balance between energy needs and environmental sustainability. The future of energy will likely be a hybrid one, with private oil and gas companies playing a central role in this transformation.

Mergers and Acquisitions Valuation: A Comprehensive Guide for Indian Businesses

In the dynamic landscape of the Indian economy, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) have become vital strategies for growth, diversification, and innovation. However, navigating this complex process requires a solid understanding of mergers and acquisitions valuation. This article will delve into the intricacies of M&A valuation, offering insights tailored to the Indian business environment.

Understanding Mergers and Acquisitions

Mergers and acquisitions refer to the processes through which companies consolidate their assets, operations, and market presence. A merger typically involves two companies agreeing to combine into a single entity, while an acquisition entails one company purchasing another. Both strategies aim to enhance market competitiveness, achieve economies of scale, and increase shareholder value.

In India, the M&A landscape has evolved significantly over the past two decades, driven by factors such as globalization, technological advancements, and regulatory reforms. Understanding the valuation aspect is crucial for companies looking to engage in M&A, as it directly impacts the decision-making process and potential success of the deal.

The Importance of Valuation in M&A

Mergers and acquisitions valuation plays a crucial role in determining the fair price for a target company. Accurate valuation helps both buyers and sellers understand the economic worth of the business, ensuring that neither party is overpaying or undervaluing the deal. Additionally, effective valuation helps in:

Risk Assessment: Identifying potential risks associated with the target company, including financial health, market position, and operational efficiency.

Negotiation Leverage: Providing a solid basis for negotiations, ensuring that both parties can engage in informed discussions about price and terms.

Regulatory Compliance: Meeting legal and regulatory requirements related to valuations, particularly in cases involving public companies or significant market impact.

Strategic Planning: Aligning the valuation with the acquiring company’s strategic objectives, ensuring the deal supports long-term growth.

Key Methods of Mergers and Acquisitions Valuation

Image-by-DjMiko

Several valuation methods are commonly used in the context of mergers and acquisitions. Each method offers unique insights and is suited for different types of businesses. Here are the most prevalent approaches:

1. Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) Analysis

The DCF method estimates the present value of expected future cash flows generated by the target company. This approach is particularly effective for companies with stable cash flows. In India, where many businesses are transitioning to a more predictable revenue model, DCF can provide a comprehensive view of a company’s value.

Key Steps in DCF Valuation:

Forecast Cash Flows: Estimate future cash flows for a specific period, typically five to ten years.

Determine the Discount Rate: Calculate the appropriate discount rate, reflecting the risk of the investment.

Calculate Terminal Value: Estimate the value of the business at the end of the projection period.

Compute Present Value: Discount future cash flows and the terminal value to their present value.

2. Comparable Company Analysis (Comps)

The comps method involves comparing the target company to similar firms in the industry. This valuation technique is widely used in the Indian market, where companies often operate within competitive sectors. By analyzing key financial metrics such as price-to-earnings (P/E) ratios, enterprise value (EV), and EBITDA multiples, businesses can derive a fair valuation.

Key Considerations:

Select a peer group of companies operating in the same industry and geographical region.

Analyze historical and projected financial metrics to establish a valuation range.

Adjust for differences in size, growth rates, and market positioning.

3. Precedent Transaction Analysis

This method evaluates past transactions involving similar companies to derive a valuation multiple. By analyzing the terms of previous M&A deals, companies can gain insights into market trends and pricing strategies.

Key Steps:

Identify relevant transactions in the same industry.

Analyze the deal structure, including purchase price and payment terms.

Calculate valuation multiples based on historical transactions to estimate the value of the target company.

Challenges in Mergers and Acquisitions Valuation

Image-by-Remitski

While mergers and acquisitions valuation is essential, it comes with its set of challenges. In the Indian context, these challenges include:

Lack of Reliable Data: Access to accurate and comprehensive financial data can be limited, particularly for smaller companies. This can hinder effective valuation.

Market Volatility: The Indian market is subject to fluctuations, making it difficult to predict future cash flows and growth rates.

Cultural Differences: M&A transactions often involve integrating different corporate cultures, which can impact the overall success of the deal.

Regulatory Hurdles: Navigating the legal and regulatory landscape in India can be complex, requiring careful consideration of compliance issues.

Best Practices for Effective Valuation

Image-by-wichayada-suwanachun

To overcome these challenges and enhance the effectiveness of mergers and acquisitions valuation, consider the following best practices:

Engage Professional Valuation Experts: Collaborate with financial advisors or valuation specialists who understand the Indian market and can provide objective insights.

Conduct Thorough Due Diligence: Perform comprehensive due diligence to gather relevant data and assess the target company’s financial health.

Use Multiple Valuation Methods: Employ a combination of valuation methods to triangulate and validate the final valuation figure.

Stay Informed on Market Trends: Regularly monitor industry trends, economic indicators, and regulatory changes to ensure valuations remain relevant.

Conclusion

Mergers and acquisitions valuation is a critical component of the M&A process, particularly in the Indian business landscape. By understanding the various valuation methods and best practices, companies can make informed decisions that drive growth and success. As the Indian economy continues to evolve, effective M&A strategies, underpinned by accurate valuations, will be essential for businesses looking to thrive in a competitive environment.

Understanding mergers and acquisitions valuation not only helps companies navigate complex deals but also positions them for future success in an ever-changing market.

Explore Insights from Gatekeepers of Governance 2024

Gatekeepers of Governance 2024, the 9th Annual 2 day Corporate Governance Summit, was held on November 21-22, 2024 at the Trident Hotel, Bandra Kurla Complex, Mumbai. It brought together leaders to address challenges and opportunities in the area of corporate governance. Organized by Excellence Enablers Private Limited, this prestigious event served as a platform to exchange ideas and solutions for fostering robust corporate governance practices. The discussions during the Summit focused on key themes and topics, as outlined below.

The Summit opened with an inaugural session titled “Regulators – Friends, Foes, or Frenemies?” featuring eminent speakers such as Mr. M. Damodaran (Chairperson, Excellence Enablers, Former Chairman, SEBI, UTI and IDBI), Justice P. S. Dinesh Kumar (Presiding Officer, Securities Appellate Tribunal; Former Chief Justice, Karnataka High Court), Mr. M. Nagaraju (Secretary, Department of Financial Services, Ministry of Finance, GOI), Mr. K. Rajaraman (Chairperson, IFSCA; Former Secretary, GOI), and Mr. Ashwani Bhatia (Whole Time Member, SEBI). The discussion was on the relationship between Regulators and businesses, highlighting the dual role that Regulators play in easing business processes, while ensuring compliance. Regulators act as allies by creating fair and transparent frameworks, but are often seen as adversaries due to the perceived burden of compliance costs and stringent norms.

Ultimately, the key to a healthy relationship between Regulators and businesses lies in striking a balance. Regulators must be flexible and adaptive, understanding the challenges and needs of the regulated universe. On the other hand, businesses should engage constructively with Regulators, providing feedback and collaborating on solutions that meet regulatory goals without limiting innovation.

SMEll Tests in Governance

The panel included Mr. Nilesh Shah (MD, Kotak Mahindra AMC) and Mr. S. Ramann (Deputy Comptroller and Audit General of India; Former CMD, SIDBI; Former MD & CEO, NESL). It delved into the governance challenges faced by SMEs, where disparities in compliance and governance standards are evident. The key takeaways were that governance quality depends on mindset, not size. Regulators should focus on non-compliant entities, thereby allowing compliant SMEs to thrive, while improving overall governance.

Boards – Have They Failed Stakeholders?

Experts like Mr. Mukesh Butani (Founder & Managing Partner, BMR Legal Advocates; Member, Global Supervisory Board, International Fiscal Association), Ms. Pallavi Shroff (Managing Partner, Shardul Amarchand Mangaldas & Co.) and Mr. M. Damodaran discussed whether Boards have adequately protected stakeholder interests. The discussion focused on the gap between rising expectations and board performance. Boards must act decisively on whistleblower complaints, executive resignations, and other red flags. Effective succession planning, equitable committee workloads, and a focus on stakeholder interests, not just shareholders interest, are critical to meeting their increasing responsibilities.

ESG – Do Good Opportunity or Feel Good Scam?

Panellists Mr. D.P. Singh (Deputy MD & Joint CEO, SBI Funds), Dr. Mukund Rajan (Chairperson, ECube Investment Advisors; Former Chief Ethics Officer & Brand Custodian, Tata Group), and Mr. Vikram Singh Mehta (Distinguished Fellow, Centre for Social and Economic Progress; Former Chairperson, Brookings India; Former CEO, Shell India) addressed the issues in the ESG space. They raised the question whether it drives meaningful change or is merely a tick-box exercise. ESG should be more than just following rules on paper—it needs to create real value by promoting sustainable and responsible business practices. Big companies can handle ESG costs more easily, but for smaller businesses, it can be a strain. So we need to see if it is making a real difference. The related point was while E, S and G were desirable pursuits, clubbing them as ESG did not seem appropriate.

Do Managements Also Run Business?

With perspectives from leaders like Mr. M. Damodaran, Mr. Amish Mehta (MD & CEO, CRISIL) and Mr. Tapan Singhel (MD & CEO, Bajaj Allianz General Insurance Company, GIC), the session delved into whether the heavy compliance burden has diverted managements from their core responsibility i.e. running business. Boards must prioritize strategic discussions, while not ignoring compliance matters in meetings, enabling management to focus on operations. Effective corporate governance should complement, not substitute strategic leadership.

Do Auditors Need Auditing?

With insights from Mr. D. Sundaram (Vice Chairperson & MD, TVS Capital Funds; Former Vice Chairperson, HUL), Mr. Jamil Khatri (Co-Founder & CEO, Uniqus Consultech; Former Head of Audit, KPMG) and Mr. P.R. Ramesh (Former Chairperson, Deloitte India), this discussion explored the growing regulatory scrutiny of auditors, and discussed maintaining their independence and effectiveness. While regulation enhances accountability, care must be taken to avoid excessive prescriptions that might negatively impact audit quality.

Auditing requires oversight due to recent failures and regulatory scrutiny. Self-regulation often falls short, on account of conflict of interests, thus undermining audit quality. Regulatory oversight is crucial for accountability, but Regulators should also play a developmental role, understanding real-world changes and challenges. Successful audits depend on cooperation from all stakeholders, especially management, to ensure the existence of effective controls.

Is Compliance Good Business?

The second day began with a plenary session featuring Mr. M. Damodaran, Mr. Ananth Narayan G. (Whole Time Member, SEBI) and Mr. Ashishkumar Chauhan (MD & CEO, NSE). This plenary session emphasized that compliance is not just about following rules, but embedding integrity and governance into a company’s core. The African proverb, “If you want to walk fast, walk alone; if you want to go far, walk together,” suitably captures the essence of compliance fostering trust, resilience, and long-term value creation.

Compensation – How Much is Too Much?

The session led by Mr. Ajay Bahl (Co-founder & Managing Partner, AZB & Partners), Mr. Sanjeev Aga (Former MD, Aditya Birla Nuvo; Former MD, Idea Cellular) and Mr. Sunil Mehta (Chairperson, IndusInd Bank; CMD, SPM Capital Advisers) examined the balance between fair remuneration and shareholder expectations.

Balancing shareholders’ concerns about excessive compensation with the need for adequate incentives requires a thoughtful approach. Compensation should reflect the market, the company’s size and risk level, and the individual’s responsibility and contribution. The worth of compensation should be tied to the risk, responsibility, and time spent on the role, ensuring it is a fair reward for the value and risks taken on, especially in high-responsibility roles like the Audit Committee for example.

Chairpersons – Biting More Than They Should Chew?

The session featured Mr. Homi R Khusrokhan (Former MD, Tata Chemicals & Tata Tea), Mr. Nawshir Mirza (Former Senior Partner, S. R. Batliboi & Co.) and Mr. M. Damodaran. It discussed whether the hyperactive involvement of some Chairpersons in Boards is affecting the management’s ability to operate efficiently. This raises important questions: Are non-executive Chairpersons overstepping into areas meant for management? How can we define and maintain clear boundaries?

The role of a Chairperson is to facilitate balanced decision-making, not to intrude on management’s operational domain. A good Chairperson fosters collaboration, values diverse perspectives, and ensures all voices are heard, speaking last in order to encourage open dialogue. As the boardroom has shifted focus from shareholder value to stakeholder value, Chairpersons must act as “first among equals,” balancing efficiency with inclusivity, and maintaining clear boundaries between governance and management.

Conclusion

Gatekeepers of Governance 2024 concluded with a call for ongoing improvement in corporate governance practices, to avoid failures and encourage long-term growth. By bringing together different stakeholders, the Summit highlighted ways to improve governance practices, stressing the importance of working together and being flexible to build a stronger and more resilient corporate ecosystem.
