A) As the employees of INX media – the company that owns 9X and 9XM television channels – prepared to celebrate Holi on Tuesday evening on the terrace of their Central Mumbai office, a terse internal com munication announced that Peter Mukerjee, the initial promoter of the network, was stepping down as chairman immediately, while his wife Indrani Mukerjea, INX Media’s CEO, would demit office later on 30 April.

The announcement that had the news wires buzzing also clarified that the Mukerjeas would continue to hold their stake in the company. To add to the drama, former Zee TV CEO Pradeep Guha was appointed as a consultant to run the network as an interim measure. His mandate: to put the house in order and appoint a new CEO.

Now, what are the options for the investors in INX Media? They could either find a buyer for the ailing channels and exit completely; or refloat the network on their own or in alliance with other equity partners. INX’s foreign investors include Temasek Holdings, New Vernon, New  Silk Route and Srei Capital-together they hold about 60 per cent. Indian investors include Kotak Mahindra. The Mukerjeas hold sweat equity estimated at 10-12 per cent.

INX Media had earlier opened negotiations with Balaji Telefilms for a sale of the broadcasting network. The news channel, NewsX, owned by another corporate entity, INX News, was also recently sold to Indimedia. Peter Mukerjea said a sale to Balaji was a “possibility”. But he was not forthcoming on why he quit. His statement read: “It was time to move on to new pastures.

Balaji, a television content production house, has been looking to diversify from its traditional business for some time. A functioning broadcasting setup with a music and general entertainment channel will provide ideal synergy for a content house sitting on hundreds of hours of film and television programming.

Earlier attempts at a sale have not worked and, considering the current downturn, the Balaji talks may lead nowhere. Six months ago, New Vernon opened talks with Multi Screen Media (MSM) for merging INX Media through a share-swap arrangement with the Sony network in India. However, valuation jinxed the deal. “They demanded $300 million, a valuation four times their revenue,” says a senior Sony functionary. “They had the news channel as part of the package, too. MSM’s majority partner Sony Pictures is against running news channels.”

With a freeze on funds, things have spiralled out of control in the past six months. Since October – when the film and television workers went on strike – no new programmes have been launched on 9X except a serial Black More than 150 employees have been sacked or allowed to quit including head of programming Kumud Chaudhary and brand director Anthony Petiffer.

What forced the exit of the Mukerjeas? “The investors had been pushing for professional management and to get Indrani Mukerjea to take a step down,” says a senior NX Group executive. “Peter did not agree, and preferred o step down with her.”

Pradeep Guha, who has taken over as interim head and Consultant, does not think the task ahead is easy. “The main challenge will be getting the entertainment channel going.”

9X is towards the bottom of the heap with barely a 3-4 E per cent share (see Standing Still”). And the competition is only getting sharper. To add to the existing Hindi entertainment channels, the Turner-Alva Brothers alliance has just launched another channel, Real, this month.

Guha has an unenviable job at hand.

I) A company ‘Y’ is engaged in the manufacture and selling of instant breakfast foods. It has a long standing in the consumer market and has captured a good market share of instant packed goods. As the company enjoys a long standing, and is quality oriented, it has over the years increased its overhead expenses substantially. However, as it has a good market share, it is surviving with good monetary results. The factory is situated in Jagraonbad which is very far away from the main consumer market, which is the country’s capital, and other bigger towns in the vicinity. This distance from the main consumer market further attributed to higher cost of the product being marketed by company ‘Y’.

Another company ‘X’ came up a few years back, with its factory situated near Ambalpur, a few km from the main capital town and other bigger towns in the area. The product being manufactured by this company was more or less same in taste, flavour, etc. as that of company ‘Y’. In view of its proximity with the consumer cities, the transportation cost being incurred by company ‘X’ is comparatively less. Furthermore, being a new enterprise, it has controlled overhead

Expenses. With this advantage to their credit, they priced their product little less than that of company t “Y”, they slowly penetrated into the market share of company ‘Y’ and in a short span of time took a good slice from company ‘Y’s’ business.

The company ‘Y’ is now faced with the problem of competing with this new company ‘X’ without, of course degrading the quality of the product. Company ‘Y’, however cannot reduce the price of their product as it lowers the image of the company in the market and it will also reduce their profit, which in the present set up of the company, they cannot afford to do. The chief executive of the company is now faced with the problem of competing with company ‘X’ without lowering market reputation of his company and influencing profits.

The chief executive decided to undertake a detailed market survey and study all types of instant breakfast foods being marketed in the country. By examining competitors products it was revealed that the product being marketed by company ‘Y’ is of the highest quality, quick consumption items having much longer shelf life as compared to other products available in the market. This product was packed in ten containers which after consumption of the contents become scrap without any resale value. He, therefore, decided to make a preproject study to go in for some different type of packing. The study revealed that they can either go in for glass jars or flexi-packs or both. As the product enjoys high quality and has a longer shelf-life, it can withstand climatic conditions in flexi-packs and thereby drastically reduce expenditure on packaging costs (in tin containers this is nearly 38 per cent of the total cost of product and by going in for flexi-packs, the same can be reduced to nearly 15 per cent). The saving made in packaging costs can be released to the consumer by way of reducing the price of the product enjoys high quality and has a longer shelf-life, it can withstand climatic conditions in flexi-packs and thereby drastically reduce expenditure on packaging costs (in tin containers this is nearly 38 per cent of the total cost of product and by going in for flexi-packs, the same can be reduced to nearly 15 per cent). The saving made in packaging costs can be released to the consumer by way of reducing the price of the product and this reduction in price will not lower the image of the company as the price reduction will be given with the background of change in packaging.

L) As the employees of INX media – the company that owns 9X and 9XM television channels – prepared to celebrate Holi on Tuesday evening on the terrace of their Central Mumbai office, a terse internal com munication announced that Peter Mukerjee, the initial promoter of the network, was stepping down as chairman immediately, while his wife Indrani Mukerjea, INX Media’s CEO, would demit office later on 30 April.

The announcement that had the news wires buzzing also clarified that the Mukerjeas would continue to hold their stake in the company. To add to the drama, former Zee TV CEO Pradeep Guha was appointed as a consultant to run the network as an interim measure. His mandate: to put the house in order and appoint a new CEO.

Now, what are the options for the investors in INX Media? They could either find a buyer for the ailing channels and exit completely; or refloat the network on their own or in alliance with other equity partners. INX’s foreign investors include Temasek Holdings, New Vernon, New  Silk Route and Srei Capital-together they hold about 60 per cent. Indian investors include Kotak Mahindra. The Mukerjeas hold sweat equity estimated at 10-12 per cent.

INX Media had earlier opened negotiations with Balaji Telefilms for a sale of the broadcasting network. The news channel, NewsX, owned by another corporate entity, INX News, was also recently sold to Indimedia. Peter Mukerjea said a sale to Balaji was a “possibility”. But he was not forthcoming on why he quit. His statement read: “It was time to move on to new pastures.

Balaji, a television content production house, has been looking to diversify from its traditional business for some time. A functioning broadcasting setup with a music and general entertainment channel will provide ideal synergy for a content house sitting on hundreds of hours of film and television programming.

Earlier attempts at a sale have not worked and, considering the current downturn, the Balaji talks may lead nowhere. Six months ago, New Vernon opened talks with Multi Screen Media (MSM) for merging INX Media through a share-swap arrangement with the Sony network in India. However, valuation jinxed the deal. “They demanded $300 million, a valuation four times their revenue,” says a senior Sony functionary. “They had the news channel as part of the package, too. MSM’s majority partner Sony Pictures is against running news channels.”

With a freeze on funds, things have spiralled out of control in the past six months. Since October – when the film and television workers went on strike – no new programmes have been launched on 9X except a serial Black More than 150 employees have been sacked or allowed to quit including head of programming Kumud Chaudhary and brand director Anthony Petiffer.

What forced the exit of the Mukerjeas? “The investors had been pushing for professional management and to get Indrani Mukerjea to take a step down,” says a senior NX Group executive. “Peter did not agree, and preferred o step down with her.”

Pradeep Guha, who has taken over as interim head and Consultant, does not think the task ahead is easy. “The main challenge will be getting the entertainment channel going.”

9X is towards the bottom of the heap with barely a 3-4 E per cent share (see Standing Still”). And the competition is only getting sharper. To add to the existing Hindi entertainment channels, the Turner-Alva Brothers alliance has just launched another channel, Real, this month.

Guha has an unenviable job at hand.

Q) A company ‘Y’ is engaged in the manufacture and selling of instant breakfast foods. It has a long standing in the consumer market and has captured a good market share of instant packed goods. As the company enjoys a long standing, and is quality oriented, it has over the years increased its overhead expenses substantially. However, as it has a good market share, it is surviving with good monetary results. The factory is situated in Jagraonbad which is very far away from the main consumer market, which is the country’s capital, and other bigger towns in the vicinity. This distance from the main consumer market further attributed to higher cost of the product being marketed by company ‘Y’.

Another company ‘X’ came up a few years back, with its factory situated near Ambalpur, a few km from the main capital town and other bigger towns in the area. The product being manufactured by this company was more or less same in taste, flavour, etc. as that of company ‘Y’. In view of its proximity with the consumer cities, the transportation cost being incurred by company ‘X’ is comparatively less. Furthermore, being a new enterprise, it has controlled overhead

Expenses. With this advantage to their credit, they priced their product little less than that of company t “Y”, they slowly penetrated into the market share of company ‘Y’ and in a short span of time took a good slice from company ‘Y’s’ business.

The company ‘Y’ is now faced with the problem of competing with this new company ‘X’ without, of course degrading the quality of the product. Company ‘Y’, however cannot reduce the price of their product as it lowers the image of the company in the market and it will also reduce their profit, which in the present set up of the company, they cannot afford to do. The chief executive of the company is now faced with the problem of competing with company ‘X’ without lowering market reputation of his company and influencing profits.

The chief executive decided to undertake a detailed market survey and study all types of instant breakfast foods being marketed in the country. By examining competitors products it was revealed that the product being marketed by company ‘Y’ is of the highest quality, quick consumption items having much longer shelf life as compared to other products available in the market. This product was packed in ten containers which after consumption of the contents become scrap without any resale value. He, therefore, decided to make a preproject study to go in for some different type of packing. The study revealed that they can either go in for glass jars or flexi-packs or both. As the product enjoys high quality and has a longer shelf-life, it can withstand climatic conditions in flexi-packs and thereby drastically reduce expenditure on packaging costs (in tin containers this is nearly 38 per cent of the total cost of product and by going in for flexi-packs, the same can be reduced to nearly 15 per cent). The saving made in packaging costs can be released to the consumer by way of reducing the price of the product enjoys high quality and has a longer shelf-life, it can withstand climatic conditions in flexi-packs and thereby drastically reduce expenditure on packaging costs (in tin containers this is nearly 38 per cent of the total cost of product and by going in for flexi-packs, the same can be reduced to nearly 15 per cent).

A close look at the facts relating to political interference in administration shows that it is not a one-way process. There is often a nexus between power-hungry and corrupt politicians and civil servants with convenient principles. Many civil servants are only too anxious to oblige the politicians, and then cash the obligation when they need some special favour. So the attitude of self-righteousness adopted by the civil service is sometimes only a way of covering their own flaws by blaming others.

Every now and then some retired civil servants come out with his memoirs, painting glorious picture of the heights of administrative efficiency reached during his reign There is often the suggestion that had there not been so much political interference things would have been even more fantastic. It is not unusual for the self styled here to blame not only interfering politicians but also fellow civil servants who were idiot or crooks, for his failures. This attitude of smug self-satisfaction is, unfortunately, developed during the years of service. Self preservation rather than service encouraged by our whole system of rules and procedures.

The remedy has to be drastic and quickly effective. The over-protection now granted 10 civil servants must end. Today to remove an erring civil servant is just not possible And the only thing that the highest authority in the Government, both in the State and at the Centre, can do is to transfer an official from one job to another.

The rules for taking disciplinary action are so complicated that, in the end, the defaulting civil servant gets away, and gets his full emoluments even for the period o the disciplinary proceedings, thus making it a paid holiday for him.

The result is that the administration has become rule-oriented and not result oriented. Action is possible against the official who takes some interest in his work but no action is ever taken against a person who does not deliver the goods. If the country is to adopt a result-oriented approach, it is necessary to link job performance with job retention.

True, it is the function of the army to maintain law and order in abnormal tines. But in normal times there is another force that compels citizens to obey the laws and to act with due regard to the rights of others. The force also protects the lives and the properties of law abiding men. Laws are made to secure the personal safety of its subjects and to prevent murder and crimes of violence. They are made to secure the property of the citizens against theft and damage to protect the rights of communities and castes to carry out their customs and ceremonies, so long as they do not conflict with the rights of others.

Now the good citizen, of his own free will obey these laws and he takes care that everything he does is done with due regard to the rights and well-being of others. But the bad citizen is only restrained from breaking these laws by fear of the consequence of his actions.
