Ratan Tata’s Water Car India

 

Ratan Tata’s Water Car India

Ratan Tata is the chairman of TATA Sons, the key holding company of TATA Group. Ratan Tata is passionate about car and his this passion has motivated him to innovate world’s cheapest car – TATA NANO.

Now, this time Ratan Tata will come with a car running on water (H2O) Only. Well, yes. This is not a joke or some kind of rumour. But this is a truth.

Ratan Tata has already invested US $ 15 Million on the research for making a car running on water. The well known old theory is that Water is H2O which contains Hydrogen (Energy) and Oxygen (to blow that energy). If somehow we separate hydrogen and oxygen from the water than we can run a car with this.

According to the Chairman of the Scientific Advisory Council to the PM of India the method comes from the brain child of a popular professor and scientist belonging to Massachusetts Institute of Technology. This professor is currently involved in splitting water straightly into Hydrogen and Oxygen. The news is that once the process gets into shape, Ratan Tata will be empowered to use the technology in his Tata Motors. The process can be made with any sort of water, the chairman added. Incidentally 2011 happens to be the International Year of Chemistry by the UN.

Ghanshyam Das Birla Biography

Ghanshyam Das Birla (G D Birla) Biography

Ghanshyam Das Birla also known as G.D. Birla was and Indian Businessman who came from Birla Family. He inherited his father’s fortune which was a traditional Marwari Business of lending money against the pawned items.

He was from Rajasthan and he left for Mumbai with the moderate amount of capital to start his own business of cotton dealership. It was British India at that time. The venture was successful and he came back to Pilani to build a huge mansion (or Haveli), which still stands by the name Birla Haveli.

According to Wikipedia,

With an investment of Rs.50 lakhs in 1919, the Birla Brothers Limited was formed. A mill was set up in Gwalior in the same year.

In 1926, he was elected to the Central Legislative Assembly of British India.

In 1930s, G.D. Birla set up Sugar and Paper mills.

In 1940s, he ventured into the territory of cars and established Hindustan Motors. After independence, Ghanshyam Das Birla invested in tea and textiles through a series of acquisitions of erstwhile European companies. He also expanded and diversified into cement, chemicals, rayon and steel tubes. Ghanshyam Das Birla during the Quit India movement of 1942, had conceived the idea of organizing a commercial bank with Indian capital and management, and the United Commercial Bank Limited was incorporated to give shape to that idea. Uco Bank, formerly United Commercial Bank, established in 1943 in Kolkata, is one of the oldest and major commercial bank of India.

Ghanshyam Das Birla entered the business arena during the time of First World War and moved further to diversify them into other areas.

Birla's business reached its pick when supply problem arises throughout the British Empire due to World War I.

Ratan Tata Jaguar

Ratan Tata Jaguar

Ratan Tata has acquired the Jaguar.

Ratan Tata says,

"I've never seen Jaguar and Tata Motors as a fit. Both companies are famous for what they do. Tata Motors builds revolutionary small cars such as the Nano, and Jaguar makes luxury cars. I'm keen to keep the two brands separate, but exploit the great number of synergies that exist in engineering and design. "I find the example of luxury hotels fits well when discussing brands. Take Ritz-Carlton Hotels: you can have a Ritz-Carlton hotel in one city that is owned by a large multinational company with varied business interests and you can have another one, in a different city, owned by a prince. They are a totally different type of owner, but the customer sees the same quality of service regardless. That's how it will be with Tata Motors and Jaguar."

Nita Ambani Buys Crockery for Antilia

Nita Ambani Buys 25000 pieces of Crockery for Antilia

Finally Mukesh Ambani shifted to his new house – Antilia. Antilia is world’s costliest house worth of US $ 1 Billion (Rs.5000 Crores).

Nita Ambani is buying crockery for her new house. Recently she has bought 25000 pieces of chinaware for her new home antilia reports Economic Times.

Interestingly, the big-ticket order has not been placed at the exclusive Noritake showroom in Mumbai’s Kemps Corner, a stone’s throw from the Ambani tower. Rather, corporate India’s first lady has chosen Sri Lanka for this acquisition as Noritake is 70-80% cheaper there than elsewhere in the world, including India. This is because the Japanese brand has its largest manufacturing facility in Sri Lanka, and exports its fine china to over 100 countries from there.
M Deva Raja, General Manager of Noritake Sri Lanka, said the company has an enquiry from Ambani for more than 20,000 pieces but has not supplied anything yet. A Reliance spokesman declined comment.

“Noritake is a must-buy for anyone who visits Sri Lanka,” said Santosh Desai, chief executive, Future Brands. “However, an order of such a scale is unheard of for the brand which is an elite icon. But then again, a 27-floor residence is also unheard of.”
A 50-piece dinner set with 22 carat gold/platinum trimmings could cost $300-500 in Sri Lanka while the same would be priced between $800 and $2,000 in India. Multiply that by 500 (to cover Nita Ambani’s 25,000-piece order) and the price could have hit $1 million at the upper end in India.

This is really a good bargain. This shows that, Nita Ambani is really a “Gujju Wife” who is cost savvy.

Anil Ambani New House

 

The site of Anil Ambani’s new house on Nargis Dutt Road

Anil Ambani’s New House: Bandra’s Palli Hill, Mumbai, India

After Mukesh Ambani, its now turn of his younger brother Anil Ambani. As all of you now know that, recently Mukesh Ambani build world’s costliest House – Antilia. Antilia is a 27 story skyscrapper having 600 people full time staff to maintain it.

Now, its time of Anil Ambani. He is building a house just like Mukesh Ambani’s Antilia in Bandra’s Palli Hills, Mumbai.

Initially media rumours were saying that, it will be the new house of Anil Ambani which will compete Antilia. However, Economic Times confirmed that,

“Multiple residential units are being developed for housing senior executives of Reliance Anil Dhirubhai Ambani group at a plot in Pali Hill of Bandra area here, the group said in a statement today, adding that the complex would not be an exclusive house for its Chairman Anil Ambani.”

You can see the construction site of Anil Ambani’s new house in the above photograph. According to Media, the project was already being opposed by some resident associations of the area due to its height.

According to NDTV, The house is mainly for the senior executives of Reliance ADA Group. Previously there was a rumour by media that, Anil Ambani is building 150 meters tall house just like Antilia. However, according to the Reliance spokesperson, its just a rumour.

Anil Ambani’s current house is Sea Wind which his late father Dhirubhai Ambani built.

Let me tell you that the height of Antilia is 170 meters and the height of proposed house of Anil Ambani will be 150 meters.

According to Reliance spokeperson,

a spokesperson for the Anil Ambani group firm Reliance Infrastructure Ltd (formerly BSES Ltd) said in a statement: "There is no truth whatsoever in reports in a section of the media that a 150 metre tall residence is being built for Anil Ambani, Chairman, Reliance ADA Group, on the plot which was earlier home to a bungalow of the erstwhile BSES Chairman."

Both the ambani brothers are India’s top 10 richest persons and the Forbes Billionaires. Anyways…the time will tell us that, what is the rumour and what’s not?

Earlier in 2000, the then united Reliance group had acquired Bombay Suburban Electricity Supply Company (BSES) and got ownership of this bungalow as part of the deal. Later, when the two brothers split, Anil Ambani got the power business and therefore this bungalow also came under his group's fold.
