Preview Nature creates nothing that is of no use, be it a material, cyclical change of climate, or thinking power of human beings. All human affairs are connected with nature in one or the other ways. Human beings produced nothing on the earth that is not an extraction from nature. The brainiest animals on the planet misconstrued nature either as a swathe of green bed or a rich orchard that fascinated their eyes. They forgot nature as an eternal source for everything for a sustainable life of every animal, plants, flora and fauna. As the so-called social animal learned crosscuts the law of nature was infringed and harnessed for undue benefit. The self-curtailment thinking power ultimately made each human being imperfect, which we finally call as the law of nature. Nature is an inexhaustib

Ecostar Editor MagNovember 5, 20203826 Views0

Save God’s Own Country Udaykumar K.V. Too many concerns about the future and the natives’ disappointment over every news that the media reports everyday cast a shadow over the “God's own Country”. Gold smuggling, political killing, rising crime rates, presence of terrorists as intelligence’ warning indicated, etc. may stain the image of the tiny, but naturally beautiful State.The geographic size of Kerala State is just one-tenth of India's largest State. The State, with hills covered by dense plantations and backwaters to storm the minds of tourists, is one of the most densely populated regions in the country. Bushy green villages have enviable cottages with a four-wheeler parked at the porch of each one. Backwaters, silent high-range plains, lon

The payment crisis of MSMEs: Even PSUs flout payment rules

Ecostar Editor MagOctober 22, 20202261 Views0

Payment crisis faced by micro small and medium enterprises (MSME) is still a big concern. A large number of companies whom we met in the one and a half years as part of our survey said that one of the major reasons for their crisis was the payment default by large companies. The defaulters include mini-Ratna public sector institutions. Even those mid-sized companies which procured orders from cash-rich public sector institutions face different kinds of concerns. Once their multi-crore order is ready for delivery, the principal company which placed the order has to come for an inspection. This inspection is delayed for several months, keeping on hold the entire work, on which the company has spent a huge sum. It hampers the money flow, increases the cost of capital and other consequent ...

Ecostar Editor MagOctober 19, 20204391 Views0

Chandubhai ViraniFounder and Chairman After eighteen years of a tough life, working excessively hard for no return, Chandubhai Virani often felt deeply disappointed in the course of building his company, Balaji Wafers. There was a time he felt leaving the business to take up a job that would fetch something regularly. But, a risk-taker since childhood, his inner conscience kept him bound with the ailing business, fearing the loss of balance receivables from the miserly clients. Efforts continued without making big calculations. He crawled through bad times, but with a resolute spirit of never to give up. Now more than three decades into business, Balaji Wafers is a giant Indian food company, the largest one fully built and owned by an ordinary Indian villager. The history of Chandubhai...

Ecostar Editor MagOctober 19, 20202145 Views0

A perfectly synchronized team of four energetic entrepreneurs with a common business goal is racing successfully ahead.

The Surat-based Jalaram Group stands up proudly to tell the young India a story of success out of a well-tuned partnership and hard work. One's flamboyant education is not a convincing metric for being a successful entrepreneur. Even without having big degrees and professional qualifications one can be a successful entrepreneur, provided there is a vision and desire for it. The Surat...

Nirav Modi: Diamond grade connoisseur of fraud

adminJanuary 4, 20191861 Views0

Diamond trade could be a good business for cheating the ignorant ones. Over-valued diamonds had a steep undervalue and the undervalued had much higher value, the Nirav Modi way had thrown a lesson for diamond buyers. But the racket master wouldn’t always be a winner. If anything has made any rich man fool ever, that is the glittering “stone” called diamond. Diamond man could finally fool not only rich men but also bank and the government. The Central Bureau of investigation (CBI) is now investigating the fraud unleashed by the fugitive diamond man Nirav Modi, who ran away early this year as if to escape all his dodging and swindling activities. It is his foolishness to take the world lightly – or India more lightly. Uncle Mehul Choksi also ran away, believing that he would escape the ...
