Leading Export Factoring Services in India to Boost International Sales

Export factoring is a financial transaction and a type of debtor finance in which a business sells its accounts receivable (invoices) to a third party (the factor) at a discount. This arrangement provides the business with immediate funds, typically a percentage of the value of the receivables, which can help improve cash flow and mitigate the risks associated with international trade. Export factoring is particularly beneficial for businesses engaged in exporting goods or services to international markets.

Patrick Colquhoun was born born in Dumbarton, on March 14th 1745.

Colquhoun was sent to the new world and served an apprenticeship as a sixteen-year-old in Virginia in North America. Likely working in a tobacco store.during the American Revolution he was part of the Government militia, in what was a Glasgow regiment to contribute to the government’s war effort. This part of history is being explored at the moment in the hit show Outlander.

On his return to Glasgow he became one of the city’s famous/imfamous ‘Tobacco Lords’. He had multiple commercial interests and was also a co-partner in the Glasgow-West India firm, Colquhoun & Ritchie, that traded with Jamaica and Antigua. As such, his wealth was derived from transatlantic slavery and its commerce, perhaps this is why he is not as well known in his native Scotland, we have a habit of brushing over the shame in the abhorrent trade of human beings.

In 1782 he built Kelvingrove House - in what is now Kelvingrove Park - as his residence. Colquhoun was Lord Provost of Glasgow, 1782-1784 and founder and the first Chairman of Britain’s oldest Chamber of Commerce in Glasgow in 1783. He was an honorary graduate of the University and the Colquhoun Lectureship in Business History is named for him. He moved to London in 1789 where he became a magistrate and published pamphlets on policing and other social issues of the day.

It is due to his work in London and those writings on policing he is credited with being the founder of the first regular investigative police force in England, The Thames Valley Police the first regular professional police force in London. Organised to reduce the thefts that plagued the world’s largest port and financed by merchants, the force was directed by Patrick Colquhoun and consisted of a permanent staff of 80 men and an on-call staff of more than 1,000. Two features of the marine police were unique. First, it used visible, preventive patrols; second, officers were salaried rather than stipendiary, and they were prohibited from taking fees. The venture was a complete success, and reports of crimes dropped appreciably. (In 1800 the government passed a bill making the marine police a publicly financed organisation.) This was a decades before Robert Peel established the Metropolitan Police, and it has to also be noted around the turn of the 18th City of Glasgow Police was established.

Colquhoun’s treatises on police also inspired the foundation of police in Dublin (Ireland), Sydney (Australia), and New York (USA).

He has also been criticised for his violent oppression “wholly in the service of an industrialist and property-holding class in the earliest incarnation of socio-economic warfare in the Atlantic economy.” He “organised political surveillance by spies and snitches of those opposing slavery. In addition to his Virginia cotton interests he owned shares in Jamaican sugar plantations.” So by many accounts a nasty piece of work.

Colquhoun has been called ‘the Father of Glasgow’ because of his role in promoting Glasgow’s trade and manufacturing during the late 1700s. In fact, he referred to himself in this way when drawing up his will in 1817.

We have a name for such people in Scotland, and it really fits this guy- Baw Heid.

The outgoing Biden administration threw the proverbial kitchen sink at Russia’s energy sector on Friday with a sweeping slate of sanctions meant to curtail Moscow’s still-resilient energy earnings and potentially weaken its war-making power in a critical year for Ukraine’s survival.

The measures announced Friday do all and more that the Biden administration had shied away from since the start of the full-scale Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022: going after the production, distribution, sales, and financing of Russian oil and gas, long the mainstay of Moscow’s war chest and still the most vulnerable part of its creaky economy.

The moves include sanctions on two Russian oil majors, Gazprom Neft and Surgutneftegas, as well as more than 180 shadow fleet tankers, natural gas producers, energy traders, and oil field service providers. 

“Russia is now in the penalty box,” said a senior administration official who spoke on background under conditions set by the White House. 

Senior administration officials expect that the new measures will cost Russia billions of dollars a month in foregone energy revenues—no small achievement when the Kremlin banks on the order of about $20 billion a month by fueling the world at war. The idea is that Russia is going to now have to seriously choose not between guns and butter but between oil tankers and military tanks.

“Today’s actions build on recent steps that reinforce an economic trajectory along which Russia will face hard choices,” U.S. Deputy National Security Advisor Daleep Singh said in a statement. Singh described the measures as the “most significant sanctions yet” on Russia’s energy sector. 

The question of why the White House decided to make these moves now is both easy to answer and surprising. For years, President Joe Biden has avoided taking the necessary and hard steps to fully go after Russia’s cash cow because that would have meant higher oil prices (and gas prices) and higher inflation for Americans. That was a particular concern during the 2022 midterm elections and especially in the recently concluded presidential contest. That is not a concern for the Biden White House now.

Officially, the White House says it is unleashing the kraken now because oil markets are relaxed and the costs will be bearable. Indeed, benchmark global crude prices have been languishing in the $70 per barrel range, which gives the administration and the United States plenty of room to run before worrying about triple digits.

Unofficially, the Biden White House is packing boxes, and this slate of sanctions is a way to kneecap Russia before handing off control to the incoming Trump administration. Given the ambivalence shown by President-elect Donald Trump and many of his officials to continue U.S. support for Ukraine, aggressive action now to further constrain Russia’s war chest gives Ukraine one last lifeline that might have not materialized otherwise. Given the stakes for Ukraine, Europe, and ultimately for the United States, buying time in 2025 makes sense.

But Friday’s measures aren’t a restraint on the incoming administration or a Parthian shot but quite the opposite.

“I view it as a gift to the Trump administration—Biden is doing the dirty work, giving the next administration more leverage to get [Russian President Vladimir] Putin to the table,” said Edward Fishman, a former senior U.S. sanctions official now at the Center on Global Energy Policy at Columbia University. “The Russian economy is already bad, so this gives the incoming administration a lot more leverage over Russia without starting on the wrong foot.”

Even those countries that might be expected to bristle at restrictions on Russian oil trade—China, India, and Turkey have outdone themselves by snapping up cheap Russian crude oil and oil products during the war—have little to fear from the latest U.S. moves. Reuters reported this week that a major Chinese port had already moved to ban U.S.-sanctioned oil tankers. India has even less to fear because the more untouchable Russia’s oil exports become, the cheaper they potentially are.

“Traders love this: ‘You guys are toxic. I need a bigger discount.’ Anybody who understands oil trading understands that India has been one of our best assets in constraining Russian oil revenue, because they can demand big discounts,” said Craig Kennedy, an expert on Russia’s energy sector at Harvard University’s Davis Center for Russian and Eurasian Studies. “India’s constantly been looking for pretexts for deeper discounts, and here we have it.”

The nitty gritty of the latest U.S. measures is where things get interesting. They go soup-to-nuts on all aspects of the Russian energy trade, which even three years into war brings in about $665 million a day to Putin’s coffers. The good news is that before the war, that was closer to $1 billion a day. The bad news is that for the last two years, sanctions have hardly budged those Russian revenues. What the latest sanctions target is everything. Much of the attention is on the designation of 183 Russian tankers, since the whole point of Russia’s sanctions-skirting exercise for the last two years has hinged on a shadow fleet of oil tankers that are entirely outside the remit of Western whipsticks. 

Russia can’t trade energy much these days except by sea, so tankers are ground zero in this fight.

“Sanctioning 183 vessels will be a huge hit to Russia’s seaborne crude oil exports—it will be really huge,” said Petras Katinas of the Finland-based Centre for Research on Energy and Clean Air (CREA), where he tabulates Russian fossil fuel earnings. 

Utilizing the dominance of the dollar, Biden administration officials now expect that ports and insurance companies will balk at doing business with the tankers, fearful that they may too find themselves in the crosshairs of secondary sanctions, which could cut off access to U.S. financial institutions. The preemptive ban by China’s Shandong Port Group this week spoke volumes.

Russia’s shadow fleet includes both officially Russian-flagged vessels that have fled Western insurers and a greater host of aged ships bought on the sly to ferry illicit goods. Together, that fleet carries more than 80 percent of Russia’s seaborne oil exports, according to CREA. U.S. sanctions, as have been levied piecemeal in the past, have kept those ships idling, cutting their oil transport by more than 90 percent. With the new steps, that could be a billion dollars monthly gone right there, if not more.

But the ultimate goal of curtailing what effectively amounts to between one-third and one-half of the active Russian shadow fleet is not to chase those ships from the sea entirely or to remove those barrels of Russian oil from the market. Rather, it is to herd those illicit vessels back into the confines of the Western-led, -insured, and -regulated maritime market, which includes a price cap on Russian oil that, at $60 a barrel, remains lower than what some rogue traders can still get.

“This is a long overdue step in terms of making the oil price cap binding,” Fishman said. Russia can either forgo shipping oil (and lose money) or ship oil through regulated tankers (and lose money). “This is an attempt to put real teeth into the price cap,” he said.

Depending on whom you talk to, each and every bit of the latest sanctions package is especially powerful. For Fishman, it is the United States going after two of Russia’s five major oil producers with straight-up sanctions that could potentially remove up to 2 million barrels a day of oil from global markets.

“We have not ever seen blocking sanctions on a Russian oil company directly. This is more than we ever did since 2014,” when Russia first invaded Ukraine, he added.

For Kennedy, it’s the future of Russia’s tired oil fields: The restrictions on oil field services companies mean that the Kremlin will be hard-pressed to squeeze more oil out of old fields that require world-class expertise to manage geriatric reservoirs, aided even during the war and sanctions years by Western firms such as SLB.

“Maybe not tomorrow, but they’ll lose access to the capabilities, and that will make it riskier and costlier to maintain current production levels,” Kennedy said.

And there are additional restrictions on Russian liquefied natural gas exports, which have been a life vest for the Russian gas industry and one rare growth area, especially in exports to Europe. The U.S. State Department went after a couple of minor Russian LNG projects and continued pressure on a marquee Arctic LNG project, all of which will make Russian tanked gas less appealing and U.S. natural gas exports even more so. That is likely music to Trump’s ears.

Senior administration officials fully expect that Russia will try to evade the new sanctions. Following the 2022 invasion, Russia became the most sanctioned country in the world, with more than 16,000 people and companies subject to a patchwork of international sanctions and export control orders intended to deprive it of the resources and technology to fuel its defense industrial base. 

These measures have forced Moscow to seek out new and cumbersome routes to sell its energy and acquire advanced technology. This has come at a steep cost but does not appear to have persuaded Putin to climb down from his maximalist aims of subjugating Ukraine. 

The senior administration official compared U.S. sanctions to sand being poured into the gears of the Russian war machine. 

The ultimate point of the belated sanctions, like the belated arms deliveries or the belated lifting of targeting restrictions, is to make it harder for Putin to continue waging a war on Ukraine that has cost him hundreds of billions of dollars and hundreds of thousands of men. 

“For every tanker they have to buy, that’s fewer tanks they can buy for their war of choice in Ukraine,” a second senior administration official said ahead of the announcement.

Russia remains nonplussed by the latest moves, as one does with a currency measured in wheelbarrows and interest rates in double digits. 

“Some manage to leave a mark on history, while others only manage to leave a mark,” Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in response to Biden’s new sanctions.

However, this theory cannot account for the reality of service-based capitalist accumulation today. First of all, the category “services” lumps together a widely divergent range of sectors such as retail, hospitality, and transport, not to mention professional and personal services from education and health care to finance and real estate. Many of these sectors are productive in the Marxist sense of the term, generating surplus value, and indeed are extremely profitable. Second, the assumption that manufacturing possesses unique growth-inducing properties and capacity to scale doesn’t really make sense in the face of services based on information and communication technology (ICT), digital automation, and platform scalability. Third, Baumol’s model is outdated. Service workers represent a far greater proportion of the labor force today than they did in the mid-twentieth century when he developed that model. Baumol also uses a narrow set of service occupations as the basis for his theory, like beauticians and elementary school teachers. Taking the United States as an example, from the 1990s to the 2000s, jobs and productivity growth was mostly driven by ICT, logistics and transport, the retail trade, insurance, finance, and other services. Labor productivity in services grew at a rate of 2.6 percent a year between 1995 and 2001 — the rate for manufacturing was 2.3 percent — accounting for 73 percent of US labor productivity growth. The share of services in US GDP as a whole rose to 80 percent in 2007 from 60 percent in 1947. Service sector employment accounted for more than 83 percent of total employment in 2013, compared to 60 percent in 1947. Looking beyond rich countries, we can also see shifts to ICT-intensive service exports. In 2014, India was the largest global exporter of ICT services with a value of $74 billion due to both scale and productivity. Total factor productivity in the Indian service sector grew by 2.4 percent from 1980 to 2006 — twice the rate of industry and agriculture. We should not dismiss service industries as “stagnant sectors” of low-skill, low-wage jobs that are a drag on growth. Many countries around the world are seeing services contribute an increasing share of growth over time. Services may have historically played a small part in capitalist growth, often resisting mechanization as they remained outside the circuit of capital in domestic reproduction. But this is no longer the case today.

The Most Expensive Stock in India:       

A 73,600x increase in just two days

Elcid Investments, the Most Expensive Stock in India: From ₹3 to ₹2,36,250

               A 73,600x increase in just two days

The share price of Elcid Investments started off only at ₹3.21. However, shortly after being relisted on the BSE on October 29, 2024, its share value increased to 225,000 rupees before closing 5% up at 236,250 rupees. Not only did this increase boost the profile of Elcid Investments, but it also made it the highest priced share in India, overtaking MRF Ltd that had its shares trading at 122,576.50 rupees on that day.

What is Elcid Investments and who owns it?

Elcid Investments is an NBFC incorporated with the Reserve Bank of India that is engaged in the business of investing in equities, bonds, mutual funds and other related securities. The business is also parent to two firms, Suptaswar Investments & Trading Company Limited and Murahar Investments & Trading Company Limited. Each of these subsidiaries are also registered with RBI as NBFCs.

75% of the Mumbai based non banking finance company Elcid is owned by the owners of Asian Paints whereas Hydra Trading and 3 A Capital Services owns 9.04% and 3.34% of the company respectively.

Business Overview

Excluding the managing director, only three people remained in the full employment category with the firm. In financial Year 24 which is the year in which Elcid Investments company’s net profits climbed by 139 % to 176 crores rupees.

The balked share capital rose in its sales more than two-folds to 236 crores in the year under review. There were only 200,000 shares issued and outstanding at the end of September 2024, 75 percent of which are promoters. There were 241 traded stocks at the centre(s) BSE on Tuesday against the average volume of 100 days of five shares.

What made the price of shares for Elcid Investments outrun other stocks?

The company's re-list on the BSE on 29 October 2024 raised the stock price which led the shareholders to immense profit. The company's capital now stands at rupees 4725 crores.

There was no delay in the selling of that particular share which was later followed up by a high frequency of buying due to mistakes from shareholders.

In June, the market regulator, Sebi, advised stock exchanges to conduct special call options for a few of the investment holding companies or holdco, whose shares are being offered at an extreme discount to the book value of the stocks.

It also issued a framework allowing some of the holding companies to bid for such price discovery. Holding companies hold interests in other assets including shares of listed companies without running any business activity on their own.

Consequently, the first of such call options developed on October 28 to discover prices and in two sessions, elcid shares increased Rs 236246.47.

What’s more puzzling is the fact that shares of Elcid stock were available at only Rs 3.53 till last week.

The book value of the stock was about Rs 5,84225 as at the end of March 2024, the last week price of Rs 3.53 was that of a Friday, which is the reason for the spike in the price. Even with this sudden spike, the company's book value has already been 2.5 times more than the Tuesday price of 236,250.

On Tuesday, Elcid investments closed shares at Rs 2, 32, 250 each, whereas shares in MRF were at Rs 1, 22, 577.

Another important reason for its high price is due to the ownership of Elcid Investments, which is around 8,500 crores and cited as owning more than 2,83,13,860 equity shares or a 2.95% stake in Asian Paints Ltd.

India’s Most Expensive Stocks

Other than Elcid Investments, there are just 30 companies in India whose shares trade more than Rs10,000 apiece. Some stocks that stand out in this group include MRF, Page Industries, Honeywell Automation India, Shree Cement, 3M India, Abbott India, Nestle India, Bosch,Procter & Gamble Hygiene, and Lakshmi Machine Works. Investors engage with these stocks because they have a trustworthy return on investment and have proven to be sound investments that perform well over the long term.

History of Finance in India

The Evolution of Financial Management in India and Its Impact on the Economy

India’s financial management history is a fascinating journey that has significantly shaped its economy. Let’s explore this evolution in simple terms.

Early Beginnings

Financial management in India has ancient roots. Historically, India was known for its rich in nature trade and commerce. Ancient texts like the Arthashastra, written by Chanakya, provide insights into early financial practices, including taxation and statecraft.

Colonial Era

The British colonial period brought significant changes. The establishment of the Reserve Bank of India (RBI) in Kolkata 1935 marked a pivotal moment. The RBI became the sole central authority for regulating the country’s currency and credit systems. However, the financial system was primarily designed to serve colonial interests, focusing on trade and revenue and tax collection.

Post-Independence Reforms

After gaining independence in 1947, India faced the challenge of building a robust financial system. The government nationalized 13 major banks in 1969 to ensure financial inclusion and support economic development. This move aimed to extend banking services to rural areas and promote savings and investments.

Liberalization in the 1990s

The 1991 marked a turning point with economic liberalization. The government introduced reforms to open up the economy, reduce state control, and encourage private sector participation. The Multi National Companies across the globe were invited, encouraged to set up their businesses in India for cheap labour. To initiate this government also provided tax benefits to these companies.

These reforms led to significant growth in the financial sector. The stock market expanded, and new financial instruments like mutual funds and insurance products became popular. The liberalization era also saw the establishment of regulatory bodies like the Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) to oversee the capital markets.

Digital Revolution

In recent years, digital technology has revolutionized financial management in India. Initiatives like the Pradhan Mantri Jan Dhan Yojana aimed to provide banking services to every household. The introduction of UPI or Unified Interface payments made transaction so quick and safe that today India is the largest country with the most number of online P2P and P2M transactions.

Impact on the Economy

The evolution of financial management has had a profound impact on the Indian economy:

Economic Growth: Financial reforms have fueled economic growth by attracting investments and promoting entrepreneurship. 

Financial Inclusion: Nationalization of banks and digital initiatives have improved financial inclusion. The number of users of credit cards, online payments, loans and Bank account holders has increased significantly.

Stability and Regulation: The establishment of regulatory bodies like the RBI and SEBI has ensured stability and transparency in the financial system. 

Innovation: The digital revolution has spurred innovation in financial services. Mobile Banking, Digital loans and Online Serices has made the work easier and efficient.

 Conclusion

The history of financial management in India is a story of transformation and resilience. From ancient practices to modern digital innovations, each phase has contributed to shaping the economy. As India continues to evolve, its financial system will play a crucial role in driving sustainable growth and development.

Patrick Colquhoun was born born in Dumbarton, on March 14th 1745.

Colquhoun was sent to the new world and served an apprenticeship as a sixteen-year-old in Virginia in North America. Likely working in a tobacco store.during the American Revolution he was part of the Government militia, in what was a Glasgow regiment to contribute to the government’s war effort. This part of history is being explored at the moment in the hit show Outlander.

On his return to Glasgow he became one of the city’s famous/imfamous ‘Tobacco Lords’. He had multiple commercial interests and was also a co-partner in the Glasgow-West India firm, Colquhoun & Ritchie, that traded with Jamaica and Antigua. As such, his wealth was derived from transatlantic slavery and its commerce, perhaps this is why he is not as well known in his native Scotland, we have a habit of brushing over the shame in the abhorrent trade of human beings.

In 1782 he built Kelvingrove House - in what is now Kelvingrove Park - as his residence. Colquhoun was Lord Provost of Glasgow, 1782-1784 and founder and the first Chairman of Britain’s oldest Chamber of Commerce in Glasgow in 1783. He was an honorary graduate of the University and the Colquhoun Lectureship in Business History is named for him. He moved to London in 1789 where he became a magistrate and published pamphlets on policing and other social issues of the day.

It is due to his work in London and those writings on policing he is credited with being the founder of the first regular investigative police force in England, The Thames Valley Police the first regular professional police force in London. Organised to reduce the thefts that plagued the world’s largest port and financed by merchants, the force was directed by Patrick Colquhoun and consisted of a permanent staff of 80 men and an on-call staff of more than 1,000. Two features of the marine police were unique. First, it used visible, preventive patrols; second, officers were salaried rather than stipendiary, and they were prohibited from taking fees. The venture was a complete success, and reports of crimes dropped appreciably. (In 1800 the government passed a bill making the marine police a publicly financed organisation.) This was a decades before Robert Peel established the Metropolitan Police, and it has to also be noted around the turn of the 18th City of Glasgow Police was established.

Colquhoun’s treatises on police also inspired the foundation of police in Dublin (Ireland), Sydney (Australia), and New York (USA).

Colquhoun’ has also been criticised for his violent oppression “wholly in the service of an industrialist and property-holding class in the earliest incarnation of socio-economic warfare in the Atlantic economy.” He “organised political surveillance by spies and snitches of those opposing slavery. In addition to his Virginia cotton interests he owned shares in Jamaican sugar plantations.” So by many accounts a nasty piece of work.

Colquhoun has been called ‘the Father of Glasgow’ because of his role in promoting Glasgow’s trade and manufacturing during the late 1700s. In fact, he referred to himself in this way when drawing up his will in 1817. We have a name for such people in Scotland, and it really fits this guy- Baw Heid.
