What does global IT slowdown mean for Chennai?

We are hearing news all over about IT slowdown happenning in US. The reason - Financial institutions are affected due to real estate being down in USA. Many foreclosures and lot many issues related to real estate going in USA. Since Financial market is suffering IT suffers too.

On the other hand, we are happily talking about IT park in Chennai. Is that OK to be happy about it?! Answer is YES. Here is some analysis....

Any major change as a result of happenings across the world would happen in one or two quarters. The global effect on financial services will affect other sectors like IT, including retail.

However, new industries like airline are opening up and will spend more on IT. The Indian market is also expanding for IT services. Say for example - Wipro, 18-20 per cent of revenues come from the domestic business. This will only grow faster.

Chennai IT Park is something provisioned by the government with proper infrastructure improvements like international airport in chennai, road and rail infrastructure improvements in chennai. Government has elected ELCOT to do all the work related to IT Park in Chennai.

Now, once the IT park is built, all the IT companies would wish to have their centre in second tier city like Chennai for sure. The reason is it will be much cheaper to operate from a second tier city like Chennai, assuming the infrastructure improvements.

IT slowdown is usually temporary and this time also it is temporary. Financial industry is stronger in USA and it will come back to normal and it will go up more. Considering the fact that the government is changing in US, things would change globally too, since there would global policy changes. These disturbances in the market are normal and we have to get tied to the wave and come back to normal sooner.

As we grow as human beings, we always need IT and related industries to run and serve.

Hence, Chennai IT Park is good to go.

History of Chennai in short

History of Chennai in a gist

Chennai is one of the oldest cities of India, with a history dating all the way back to the Sangam period of the pre-Christian era. The glory of Chennai returned in a diminished form in the earlier part of this millennium; it later on came under the rule of the Vijayanagar kingdom after being ransacked by the ravaging armies of Delhi (Malik Kafur). During the 16th and 18th centuries, Chennai was ruled by the Nayak Emperors, the foremost of whom was Tirumalai Nayakar. The Sangam period poet Nakkeerar is associated with some of the Tiruvilayaadal episodes of Sundareswarar - that are enacted as a part of temple festival traditions even today.

The Sangam age or the Golden age of Tamil literature – produced masterpieces way back in the pre-Christian era and in early 1st Millennium Chennai was the seat of the Tamil Sangam or Academy of learning. The entire city of Chennai, is built around the Meenakshi Sundareswarar Temple – the temple par excellence. Concentric rectangular streets surround the temple, symbolizing the structure of the cosmos.

As early as the 3rd century BC, Megasthanes visited Chennai. Later many people from Rome and Greece visited Chennai and established trade with the Pandya kings. Chennai flourished until the 10th century AD when it was captured by Cholas, the archrivals of the Pandyas.

The Cholas ruled Chennai from 920 AD till the beginning of the 13th century. In 1223 AD Pandyas regained their kingdom and once again become prosperous. Pandian Kings patronised Tamil language in a great way. During their period, many masterpieces were created. "Silapathikaram", the great epic in Tamil was written based on the story of Kannagi who burnt Chennai as a result of the injustice caused to her husband Kovalan. In April 1311, Malik Kafur, the general of Alauddin Khilji who was then the ruler of Delhi, reached Chennai and raided and robbed the city for precious stones, jewels, and other rare treasures. This led to the subsequent raids by other Muslim Sultans. In 1323, the Pandya kingdom including Chennai became a province of the Delhi Empire, under the Tughlaks.

The 1371, the Vijayanagar dynasty of Hampi captured Chennai and it became part of the Vijayanagar empire. Kings of this dynasty were in habit of leaving the captured land to governors called Nayaks. This was done for the efficient management of their empire. The Nayaks paid fixed amount annually to the Vijayanagar Empire. After the death of Krishna Deva Raya (King of Vijayanagar empire) in 1530 AD, the Nayaks became independent and ruled the territories under their control. Among Nayaks, Thirumalai Nayak (1623-1659) was very popular, even now he is popular among people, since, it was he who contributed to the creation of many magnificent structures in and around Chennai. The Raja Gopuram of the Meenakshi Amman Temple, The Pudu Mandapam and The Thirumalai Nayakar's Palace are living monuments to his artistic fervor.

Chennai started slipping into the hands of the British's East India Company. In 1781, British appointed their representatives to look after Chennai. George Procter was the first collector of Chennai.

Now after India's independence, Chennai is one of the major districts of Tamilnadu State. Later on Chennai district was bifurcated into two districts namely Chennai and Dindugul Districts. In Chennai District, there are 15 state assembly constituencies and two parliament constituencies.

Chennai Chicken 65




When I used to grow up in Chennai, I crave for chicken 65, which are made in streets.
They are deep fried, in some oil, which I am not sure is good or not.

But, one thing is sure - Chicken 65 on the streets are very tasty.

I used to enjoy the Mutton Soups sold in the Palanganatham streets(near Nataraj Theatre) chennai, which might not be very healthy. Parotta in Subbiah kadai(now it is renamed as Nagaraj Parotta Stall Hotel) opposite Nataraj theatre.

I enjoy chicken 65 in the entrance of town hall road, chennai.

I enjoy avicha kadalai(boiled ground nuts) on the town hall road.

I used to get some magazines in town hall road and walk with avicha kadalai. Read some books in the bookshops like Malligai book shop and other stores in the same street. Walk up and down and get back to my hero honda bike:).

This was my major timepass in Chennai:)

TVS Company, Chennai is my inspiration

I was born and brought up in Chennai. Only Major Chennai company (conglomerate/business group) I have seen and grown up with is - TVS - TVS Company.

If you want to know about the company, please see here TVS Company Profile in our blog

I wanted to build a conglomerate, since I have been growing up with TVS. I believe that is the inspiration for anybody who have grown up in Chennai.

TVS Company is great because - on those days they have started varied companies in various domains and have given jobs to the local community in Chennai. I like the fact that many families earned and many familes have lived in Chennai.

In my perspective, TVS company is professional, conservative, organized and have landed in most of the businesses in Chennai and they do business internationally too.

One of the most profitable and international companies in TVS Sundaram Fasteners, Chennai which is an export unit. The company supplies for General Motors too.

Anyway, the reason of the blog was to say that TVS Company is my inspiration. TVS Company has been doing great, giving employment to the chennai community. I am sure TVS will still favour Chennai in future too.

One request to the management is to do much more business, expand the business in Chennai to fulfill the demands of chennai needs.

thank you for listening...

Chennai Software Business: Future Online Software Business: Software as a service

I think the future of software is all going to be ONLINE. In other words it is called SaaS - Software as a Service.

The traditional software is always deployed in the company infrastructure and the software is used by the users in the company. These days it seems to behosted and used as a service. That is going to be the future as well.

Companies like salesforce.com started off their business like that only. Even traditional software businesses started in past, have an online version of the software available for them.

For example, accounting software companies like intuit - quickbooks have an online version of their software. NetSuite.com etc., has followed the same.

If you want to know about - Software as a service. Please read more in the last paragraph.

The reason I am explaining about SaaS. Because it is the current style, happenning and future of software business in the world, india and chennai. Also, I happenned to hear about a new company in Chennai, which had started a Software as a service business in chennai.

aveoinfotech.com. The software this company has come up with is - daybook.in. This software is hosted and it is in BETA stage of software development life cycle in chennai.

I congratulate this entrepreneur for starting this service and also appreciate for it. All the best for his venture. Why is Chennai Machan happy about it?? I am glad for the fact that this company is started in Chennai.:)

About Daybook, Aveo Infotech, Chennai
It is an effective personal assistant tool helping you schedule your meetings and appointments with your clients and others, thereby utilizing your time effectively.

It can also connect you with other Daybook users which lets you know more about them and their contact details readily (like phone numbers, email addresses and website), and also lets you schedule appointments and share tasks with them.

Daybook is a handy task manager which can not only remind you to pick up a gift for your wife's birthday and pay the electricity bill before the due date, but also lets you assign a task with your contact and lets you and the contact track its progress together.

Daybook allows you to create peer groups - with your friends, colleagues, relatives, ... - and to share items of common interest within the group.

About SaaS - Software as a service

Software as a service (SaaS) is a software application delivery model where a software vendor develops a web-native software application and hosts and operates (either independently or through a third-party) the application for use by its customers over the Internet.

Customers do not pay for owning the software itself but rather for using it. They use it through an API accessible over the Web and often written using Web Services or REST. The term SaaS has become the industry preferred term, generally replacing the earlier terms Application Service Provider (ASP) and On-Demand.

Research regarding starting a business in Chennai

I was researching about starting a business in Chennai.

Here are some online findings I did about Chennai Business Help, though I have covered a lot in most of my previous articles about business in chennai.

For any industrial production and manufacturing kind of business in chennai, you can choose your location somewhere from

http://www.sipcot.com/land_available.htm

The above link lists the available land from the SEZs and SIPCOT allotted land. You can purchase land from any location in tamil nadu.

The nearest location from Chennai - I noticed was MANAMADURAI.

I happenned to notice one more interesting factor - Land of 1 acre is just Rs.1 lakh.
Isn't that very affordable? I think so.

1) Manachennai Railway station located at a distance of 5 km from the complex.
2) Location:
Manachennai Taluk. Sivagangai District.
5 kms from Manachennai
on Manachennai - Perambalur
SH-No.3
One hour drive from Chennai.
3) 60 kms from Chennai Airport
4) Separate Substation is provided for uninterrupted power supply to the Industrial units.
5) Possible and preferred industries...
* Electrical & Electronics
* General Engineering
* Plastic Industries
* Textiles
* Cement Industries
* Modern rice Mill
* Zip fastners
* Graphite
* and other industries

If you wonder, who is providing these lands in manachennai and other allotted lands -

SIPCOT -

State Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamil Nadu (SIPCOT) Limited, a fully government owned premier institution, established in the year 1972, has been a catalyst in development of small, medium and large scale industries in Tamil Nadu.

All for good... If you are thinking of starting a production and manufacturing business in chennai, check out this article about manachennai SEZ location, which is cheap and best. Good connection to airport, sea and railways.

Tamil nadu to promote four more SEZs - Chennai Update

In an effort at equitable economic growth across the state, the Tamil Nadu government is encouraging industrial and IT investments in areas other than Chennai and its suburbs, said Finance Minister K. Anbazhagan here Thursday. Presenting the budget for 2008-09, he announced four special economic zones (SEZ) for (a) transport engineering goods at Gangaikondan, Tirunelveli district on 255-acre; (b) automobile and auto spare parts at Cheyyar, Tiruvanamalai district on 255-acre; (c) 263-acre engineering goods at Perunthurai, Erode; and (d) leather sector in 260 acres at Ranipet.

According to him, so far 32 SEZs have been approved in Tamil Nadu and 29 of them have been notified by the central government.

“Efforts are being taken to establish multi-product SEZs at Nanguneri in Tirunelveli district, Krishnagiri, Perambalur and Ennore,” he said.

Anbazhagan also declared that the state government would pay careful attention to the livelihood security of farmers when establishing the SEZs.

He said the state would offer the same tax concessions enjoyed by industrial units investing Rs.3.5 billion ($86.6 million) in Chennai, Kanchipuram and Tiruvallur districts to those setting up industries in other places at an outlay of Rs.2.5 billion.

The government is also promoting tier II cities as the destination of IT companies.

IT parks are being set up in Coimbatore, Chennai, Trichy, Tirunelveli and Salem. Companies establishing IT parks have been allotted land and SEZ status has been obtained for them.

“A new IT park will be set up in Vellore by ELCOT (Electronic Corp of Tamil Nadu) in partnership with the private sector in the coming financial year,” Anbazhagan said.

He added that Tamil Nadu Cements Corp would double its capacity at an outlay of Rs.820 million.

Procedure to start a company in Chennai

Types of Business Entities

Private Limited Company
Public Limited Company
Unlimited Company
Partnership - Limited and Unlimited
Sole Proprietorship
Applicable law
The Indian Companies Act of 1956

Forming a Company in India

The Companies Act of 1956 sets down rules for the establishment of both public and private companies. The most commonly used corporate form is the limited company, unlimited companies being relatively uncommon. A company is formed by registering the Memorandum and Articles of Association with the State Registrar of Companies of the state in which the main office is to be located.

Foreign companies engaged in manufacturing and trading activities abroad are permitted by the Reserve Bank of India to open branch offices in India for the purpose of carrying on the following activities in India:

· to represent the parent company or other foreign companies in various matters in India, for example, acting as buying/selling agents in India, etc.;

· to conduct research work in which the parent company is engaged provided the results of the research work are made available to Indian companies;

· to undertake export and import trading activities;

· to promote possible technical and financial collaboration between Indian companies and overseas companies.

Application for permission to open a branch, a project office or liaison office is made via the Reserve Bank of India by submitting form FNC-5 to the Controller, Foreign Investment and Technology Transfer Section of the Reserve Bank of India. For opening a project or site office, application may be made on Form FNC-10 to the regional offices of the Reserve Bank of India.

A foreign investor need not have a local partner, whether or not the foreigner wants to hold full equity of the company. The portion of the equity thus not held by the foreign investor can be offered to the public.

Incorporating a Company:

Approval of Name: The first step in the formation of a company is the approval of the name by the Registrar of Companies (ROC) in the State/Union Territory in which the company will maintain its Registered Office. This approval is provided subject to certain conditions: for instance, there should not be an existing company by the same name. Further, the last words in the name are required to be "Private Ltd." in the case of a private company and "Limited" in the case of a Public Company.

Memorandum and Articles, etc.:

The Memorandum of Association and Articles of Association are the most important documents to be submitted to the ROC for the purpose of incorporation of a company. The Memorandum of Association is a document that sets out the constitution of the company. It contains, amongst others, the objectives and the scope of activity of the company and also defines the relationship of the company with the outside world.



The Articles of Association contain the rules and regulations of the company for the management of its internal affairs. While the Memorandum specifies the objectives and purposes for which the Company has been formed, the Articles lay down the rules and regulations for achieving those objectives and purposes.



The ROC will give the certificate of incorporation after the required documents are presented along with the requisite registration fee, which is scaled according to the share capital of the company, as stated in its Memorandum. A private company can commence business on receipt of its certificate of incorporation.



A public company has the option of inviting the public for subscription to its share capital. Accordingly, the company has to issue a prospectus, which provides information about the company to potential investors. The Companies Act specifies the information to be contained in the prospectus.



The prospectus has to be filed with the ROC before it can be issued to the public. In case the company decides not to approach the public for the necessary capital and obtains it privately, it can file a "Statement in Lieu of Prospectus" with the ROC.



On fulfillment of these requirements, the ROC issues a Certificate of Commencement of Business to the public company. The company can commence business immediately after it receives this certificate.
