Chávez is busy building a military machine to protect sovereignty

During his three day tour, Chávez visited several Russian weapons factories. The two countries discussed military technical cooperation that helps Venezuela build advanced technologies and help it obviate the need to depend on Washington for military assistance. Venezuela has already purchased over 50 helicopters, 24 Su-30MK2 warplanes, as well as 100,000 Russian AK-103 assault rifles. Russian submarines are certainly on the agenda of Chávez. “Most likely, Chávez will buy five Project 636 submarines with missile systems, but it could end up buying nine,” said Ivan Konovalov, noted Strategic expert from The Centre for the Analysis of Strategies and Technologies, while talking to B&E. He adds further, “… the submarine deal could be split into two or three parts, and include construction of submarine bases and training of submarine crews and, in future, might also include the purchase of advanced Tor-M1 air defence systems.”

Clearly Chávez seems to be on a shopping spree, building military infrastructure free of any ‘imperialist’ pressures. Only time will tell if Chávez is successful in altering the uni-polarity of the world and the hegemony of the United States of America.

Google always looks to venture into different services

Mark Blowers, Senior Analyst, IT Infrastructure, Butler Group, says “Google always looks to venture into different services whether e-mail, chat, text messaging based search. So, its venture into voice communication was expected as that would be what consumers would want. Through this purchase, Google is positioning itself as a true player in communication.”

This makes matters worse for soft ware giant Microsoft, which might not be feeling really that big now. Struggling to compete with its relatively young counterpart, which has blatantly marched ahead to steal the show when it comes to online advertising, as well as its unquestioned dominance in the web search category. Noticeably, as per Nielson/Net ratings, Google is leading the Internet search market space with 55% market share followed by Yahoo (22%), MSN (9%) & AOL (5.4%).

SREI: A ‘loan’ ranger...

One time – city of refugees, city of joy, city of tram-cars with disjointed electric lines, city of ‘addas’...HEMANT KANORIA, VICE CHAIRMAN & MD that’s ‘Mahanagar Kolkata’ for you! When can we start associating this heritage city with industrialisation, where star corporations like ITC are few & far between? Well, there is one name that comes to mind from the city of Kolkata, as a leader in the rapidly growing sector of infrastructure financing in India. And interestingly, in a field where one would consider banks to be showing the way, this leader in this sector is an NBFI by the name of SREI Infrastructure Finance Ltd. (formerly known as SREI International Finance Ltd.).

Since SREI1989 (liquidity crunch period), there’s one name that has carried the baton of infrastructure development in this city. What started with basic equipment financing has now grown to encompass project financing & renewable energy product financing as well. States Hemant Kanoria, Vice Chairman & MD, SREI, “From 1989 till now, we are in the entire value-chain of infrastructure... So, everyone, who is working in this particular field, would have to necessarily deal with us & we have to deal with them.” The company, which stepped in with the vision of being the most inspiring global infra- structure financial institution with passing time, has gone on to leave quite a mark on Kolkata’s infrastructural landscape & stood the test of time. Within a span of 17 years, the assets under management for this company have reached Rs.50.83 billion.
