Kirloskar family feud gets a Rs 750 cr twistThe Kirloskar family saga has moved to another plane, with the chairman and managing director of Kirloskar Brothers Ltd (KBL) - Sanjay Kirloskar - suing several members of his family for not adhering to the deed of a family settlement. He has moved Pune civil court, seeking damages to the tune of Rs 750-crore from his brothers Atul, Rahul, cousin Vikram and late cousin Gautam Kulkarni's family.The suit hinges on the fact that several members of the Kirloskar clan have ventured into the same business as his and hence violated the settlement arrived at in September 2009 between all the family members. The suit filed in June this year in Pune civil court, senior division, names not only his brothers and cousins but also their family members.The suit invokes their grandfather Shantanu Kirloskar's name repeatedly. "Under the aegis of Shri Shantanu Laxmanrao Kirloskar, the Kirloskar Group Companies were operated and promoted with the intention and tradition of ensuring that the businesses carried on by the companies were controlled and managed with the Kirloskar family and were also demarcated between different branches of the family. The business of the Kirloskar group of companies were to be complimentary and not competitive inter se i.e. with each other/ members of Kirloskar group of companies, in the greater interest of Kirloskar group," it states. It further states that before their grandfather passed away in 1994, in 1989 he had executed a will which once again confirmed that "control of each individual Kirloskar group company remained within the branch managing that company".In September 2009, the suit states that family members signed a deed of family settlement to avoid 'difference of opinion' and 'clash of attitudes and behaviour of the next generation'. The settlement signed by several members including Atul, Rahul, Vikram and Gautam Kulkarni, according to the suit, reiterated the non-competing clause. Sanjay claims that after the settlement, he performed his part by giving Rs 80.50 crore to Vikram and gifting shares of Kirloskar Brothers Investments Ltd 'worth hundreds of crores' to Atul, Rahul and Gautam Kulkarni. The suit states that by gifting shares, he effectively handed over control of Kirloskar Oil Engines Ltd (KOEL) and Kirloskar Pneumatic Ltd (KPL) to his brothers and cousin.The suit claims that his brothers, however, have gone against the settlement. Sanjay has cited the case of KOEL, controlled by his brothers and late Gautam Kulkarni, venturing into business of trading in electric mono-block and submersible pumps - branded as Varsha - an arena in which his company, KBL, is a leader. KBL claims to be India's largest manufacturer and exporter of pumps and Asia's largest infrastructure pumping project provider. After Sanjay brought the non-competition clause to their notice, KOEL stopped trading in the pumps, the suit states.There was more of it to come. "On June 21, 2017, the plaintiffs (Sanjay and KBL) were shocked to learn by way of a press release that KOEL had acquired 76 per cent stake in La-Gajjar Machineries Pvt Ltd, a company engaged in manufacturing and selling electric submersible and monoblock pumps and pump sets (i.e. business which is in direct competition carried out by KBL) and are trying to sell the said pumps in the market," the suit states.This, the suit states 'smacks of mala fides' and in 'direct contravention of clause 15 of the deed of family settlement, which provides that a party shall not engage in directly competitive business with another company of the Kirloskar Group'.The suit that is scheduled to come up for hearing on August 7, seeks that all those named should adhere to the deed of family settlement and not enter into any business that competes with his or KBL's. He has sought Rs 750 crore towards damages.
How China plans to keep Imran Khan closeBy Iain Marlow, Peter Martin and Kamran HaiderIf there were any doubts about Chinaâ€™s intent to keep ties close with its all-weather ally Pakistan, Beijing demolished them with a reported USD 2 billion loan just days after the election of a new Pakistani premier.While cricketing legend Imran Khan attempts to form a coalition government, China has stepped up to reinforce a geopolitical alliance that shapes the South Asian nationâ€™s policies toward the U.S. and India. The announcement caused Pakistanâ€™s rupee to jump the most in nearly a decade as Khan takes power with an economy in chaos.The gesture speaks to Pakistanâ€™s overwhelming reliance on China as a source of financial, diplomatic and military support at a time when U.S. President Donald Trump has cut military aid to Islamabad. Ultimately, Khan may not have a choice. Pakistanâ€™s powerful military has continued to push its civilian counterparts for close ties with China in order to ensure the flow of more than $60 billion in loans for the China-Pakistan Economic Corridor infrastructure projects.â€œThere is a deep, far-reaching political consensus in Pakistan for a continued strong partnership with Beijing,â€ said Michael Kugelman, a senior associate for South Asia at the Woodrow Wilson Center in Washington. â€œThis is especially true now, with Pakistanâ€™s relationship with America facing an uncertain future.â€
Diversion of homebuyers' money a criminal act: SCNEW DELHI: In a strict warning to builders across the country, the Supreme Court said that diverting customers' money to other projects is a "criminal breach of trust" and the companies and promoters would be prosecuted for funneling the investors money to other ventures. The court said this while hearing petitions filed by thousands of Amrapali homebuyers, who have not got possession of flats even after paying nearly 90 per cent of amount to the builder.Taking the case of Amrapali Group buyers, where nearly 30,000 buyers are fighting against builder for delayed possession, the Court observed that real estate companies fail to complete projects on time due to diversion of funds and buyers have to run from pillar to post to get their house. The Court said it will put an end to this malpractice and ensure that every single paisa of the investors money is invested in the projects. A bench of Justices Arun Mishra and UU Lalit noted that the embattled Amrapali Group had diverted Rs 2,765 crore of homebuyersâ€™ money for other purposes. â€œThe diversion of money is criminal misappropriation. You hold the homebuyers money in trust. It cannot be used for other purposes. Depositors gave you the money in good faith. How can you divert the money for other purposes other than construction of projects for which money was given. It amounts to criminal breach of trust,â€ ToI reported the bench as saying.â€œThis is the malady prevalent in the sector and we want to stop this nonsense. You use depositorsâ€™ money and expand your business. You can't stand on the shoulders of homebuyers to expand your business. It is not acceptable. We gave you chance to mend your ways but you did not change,â€ the bench said while attaching the properties and bank account of all 40 companies of Amrapali Group, its promoters and directors.The court also questioned the conducts of chartered accountants and asked how the diversion of funds went undetected. It directed the Amrapali to submit the names and address of all Chartered Accountants associated with Amrapali's 40 group companies since 2008.â€œWe want names and address of all chartered accountants or accounting firms with PAN number by tomorrow. How can they allow siphoning of such large amount of money,â€ the bench said and posted the case for Thursday.Besides, the court said that all promoters, directors and chartered accountants of the company would be under suspicion until court clears all the mess.
Blue Star targets 10% market share in water purifiersKochi: Blue Star Limited is aiming at capturing 10% market share in water purifiers in India in the next three years.The company which forayed into water purifiers about two years ago reckons that the growth potential for the product is quite high in the country. `` The total market penetration of water purifiers in the country is just 6 %, of which the share of electric ones is just 3%,â€™â€™ said C P Mukundan Menon, president of sales & marketing, product business, Blue Star Ltd.According to him the market penetration of water purifiers will increase 25% in the next ten years aided by the factors like increased health awareness and deterioration in the quality of water. `` We would be touching around Rs 100 crore turnover in water purifiers this year and hope to double it every year,â€™â€™ said Menon, who was here to launch new range of models in water purifiers.The company now has 35 models including that using innovative immune boost technology with antioxidant effect. To increase its presence in the country, Blue Star will be increasing its retail points for water purifiers to 3500 outlets from 2000 in the current year, Girish Hingorani, chief marketing officer, said.The water purifier market in the country is worth Rs 4200 crore, of which Rs 3400 is from product sales and the rest from services, Menon said.
SBI ties up with Reliance Jio to accelerate digital transactionsKOLKATA: State Bank of India has inked a pact with Reliance Jio Infocomm to integrate its digital banking solution Yono with MyJio application to boost digital payment.SBI said Yono would now be preloaded on Reliance Jio handsets and SBI customers would benefit from Jio Prime, a consumer engagement and commerce platform with exclusive deals from Reliance Retail, Jio and partner brands.Existing Jio customers will get the benefits either by downloading Yono on their handsets or at the time of replacement cycle, SBI's deputy managing director Mrutyunjay Mahapatra told ET."It's a non-exclusive tie up so we can do similar arrangement with other service providers. However, there is no such move at present," he said.About 1.5 crore of 42 crore SBI customers are using Yono now while the banking behemoth expects the number to multiply with the partnership with Jio.The latest pact is going to deepen SBI and Reliance's partnership after their 30:70 joint venture in Jio Payments Bank.â€œThe scale of the SBI customer base is unmatched globally. Jio is committed to using its superior network and platforms combined with the Retail ecosystem to accelerate digital adoption serving all the needs for SBIâ€™s and Jioâ€™s customers,â€ Reliance Industries Ltd Chairman Mukesh Ambani was quotes as saying in a press statement issued by SBI.MyJio, an over-the-top mobile applications will now bring in financial services capabilities of SBI and Jio Payments Bank.SBI will also be engaging Jio as one of its preferred partners for designing and providing network and connectivity solutions.

OnePlus to target growth from offline stores in India; to set up R&D centreKOLKATA: Having achieved over 62% share in e-commerce sales of premium smartphones in India, Chinaâ€™s OnePlus is now betting on offline stores to drive growth in the country.OnePlus India general manager Vikas Agarwal said with such high share in online premium smartphone market, further growth will depend on expansion of online penetration. â€œHence, the opportunity to grow in offline is much more where we have much more scope to increase penetration,â€ he said.Agarwal said OnePlus already has five authorised brick-and-mortar exclusive stores and will set up five more by this year while it will also expand the flagship experience stores in the country.â€œThere is at present one experience store in Bengaluru and we are setting up the second one in Chennai with two more coming up. Our target cities are New Delhi, Mumbai, Pune and Hyderabad,â€ he said. The company also has a partnership with Croma and is setting up exclusive zones in selected Croma outlets.Agarwal said the offline stores are also helping in cash purchases since the models sold online in Amazon India are all prepaid due to the high value of the transaction. As per Hong Kong-based tracker Counterpoint Research, OnePlus reached over 40% share in the premium smartphone market in India in the April-June quarter compared to 9% in the same period last year. Samsung was pushed to the second spot with 35% share and Apple has for the first time reached the third slot in India with a record low of less than 14% share.OnePlus has identified India as its second headquarter which will also mean more allocation of resources, prioritisation, movement of senior talent from China, higher budget allocation, marketing spent and ensuring at par launches of new devices and consistent supplies. India is the largest market for OnePlus accounting for 30% of global revenue.â€œWith operations in 33 countries there are often supply challenges, but India will now get all priorities which means stock will be always available even during peak buying season like Diwali. Also, OnePlus does not do any traditional advertising like newspaper ads and billboards anywhere else but India,â€ said Agarwal.The company has started manufacturing key components locally whereby it has been able to achieve price competitiveness in the Indian market, said Agarwal. â€œAll the models are locally produced and have achieved scale to get benefits. Eventually, we may look at India as an export hub too,â€ he said. OnePlus will also set up a R&D centre in India to undertake localisation of the software and ensure better app experience.OnePlus is focussing on setting up company-owned service centres which are 12 at present and will move up to 25 by this year. Agarwal said the company is working out a buy-back plan which will help the existing OnePlus users to achieve a good value for their old product when they buy the new model.
In his new role, Reznik, who will join the companyâ€™s Global Management Committee, will be responsible for all aspects of the companyâ€™s strategy and investments, including ecosystem strategy and ventures and acquisitions.
