Paying The Price For Bad Management?

By KHALIDA YOUSUF | INNLIVE

A survey by leading UK-based consultancy Auditel has found that 70 per cent of organisations do not have a cost management strategy in place.

The consultancy surveyed 120 business leaders worldwide and less than two per cent of them claim to track costs, or have an on-going programme to do that.

“Most organisations do not have the sophisticated analytical tools to benchmark costs accurately and monitor them after implementing cost savings,” says Chris Allison, Auditel’s managing director.

Virat Kohli And David Warner: One-Time 'Bad Boys' Of Cricket Are Now 'Leading Lights'

By M H AHSSAN | INNLIVE

The IPL final brought together two opponents who had little in common: One team had been a consistent performer throughout, always pushing for a place in the play-offs; he other was languishing at the bottom of the table at the mid-way point, before rising like the phoenix part of their opponent's logo. One had the best bowling attack in the league, the other had the worst.

However, it was with their respective captains - David Warner of Sunrisers Hyderabad and Virat Kohli of Royal Challengers Bangalore - that the journeys became uncannily similar.

SunRisers Blind Kohli's RCB: David Warner's Team Bowl Themselves To Victory In IPL 2016 In Bangalore

SunRisers Hyderabad have won the ninth edition of the IPL after their bowlers came out on top against the power of Kohli, de Villiers, and Gayle in the final at the M. Chinnaswamy Stadium in Karnataka.

Although a pulsating game, it didn't come down to the final ball - and as AB de Villiers watched from the bench with tears in his eyes, SRH pacer Bhuvneshwar Kumar bowled the penultimate ball knowing that the game was already in the bag.

By LIKHAVEER | INNLIVE

As the government celebrated its second anniversary, the prime minister and his ministers made several claims. At least five of them do not add up.

It’s been two years since the Bharatiya Janata Party swept the Lok Sabha elections under his leadership but Prime Minister Narendra Modi has never really come out of campaigning mode. To celebrate its second anniversary, the BJP government organised a gala event at India Gate in New Delhi. Broadcast live on Doordarshan, the event saw musical performances interspersed with discussions on key government schemes and policies, with ministers outlining their key achievements.

The Relationship Between Monsoons And Food Prices In India Isn’t As Simple As It Seems?

By M H AHSSAN | INNLIVE

It’s a widely-held belief in India that a good monsoon brings with it a drop in food prices.

But a study by brokerage Nomura, which analysed India’s food inflation over the last 15 years, found that this correlation may not be accurate.

“It is not empirically evident that below-normal monsoon rains lead to high food price inflation, while normal monsoon rainfall leads to low food price inflation,” the brokerage said in report on May 25.

Reeling Under Heat Waves: What's Going On With India’s Weather?

By NALINI SHAH | INNLIVE

Until now, India's smog problem has curbed extreme temperatures. But that could be about to change.

On May 19, India’s all-time temperature record was smashed in the northern city of Phalodi in the state of Rajasthan. Temperatures soared to 51℃, beating the previous record set in 1956 by 0.4℃.

India is known for its unbearable conditions at this time of year, just before the monsoon takes hold. Temperatures in the high 30s are routine, with local authorities declaring heatwave conditions only once thermometers reach a stifling 45℃. But the record comes on the back of an exceptionally hot season, with several heatwaves earlier in the year. So what’s to blame for these scorching conditions?

 By ZEESHAAN ALI | INNLIVE

Last week, two artists in Delhi were forced to paint 'Swachh Bharat Abhiyan' over an Urdu couplet in praise of the city.

India is a multi-lingual country. This is a fact as well as a cornerstone of our idea of a diverse India. Take any one of our languages away, and we will no longer have an India – not the one we know, not the one we want.
