Jul-Aug 10. VOL 03. ISSUE 03

This Ipex 2010 which concluded a couple of months ago at Birmingham in the United Kingdom, Rave India ordered for two Speedmaster CD 102 (one with coater) along with a Polar cutting system (115-X) with pile turner and a Stahl KH-78 - the undisputed leader amongst folders. In addition Rave is also investing in its second Aster, and this within the space of an year

In an interview with Print Week, Klaus Neilson, Heidelberg India’s managing Director said “ Rave Scans placed orders for their fifth and sixth new Heidelberg printing presses in a span of four years. There are few more orders up our sleeves which will be announced in due course of time”.

With the latest orders, Rave adds up to a fleet of 20 Heidelberg machine in its arena spread over the pre-press, press and post-press sections, to deliver cutting edge print

........... And the buoyant news

Amongst all the happenings at Rave, and we have quite a few, this issue also carries a bit on the realization of another dream of mine. And a feeling of achievement.

Two years ago an employee was distributing sweets to the entire office because his son passed grade 10 with flying colours. He was elated yet apprehensive about raising enough money for higher education and that’s when I started the Rave Educational Fund for those deserving children of our employees who could not realize their goals due to paucity of funds. Today two of them have done me proud. Both have got admission in engineering and Rave continues to support them.

Another cheer, especially for our clients who all want their jobs printed, fabricated, packed and delivered yesterday! Rave has moved another step up the ladder with further expansion.

Come September and we will be opening another complete in – house unit and installing two new Heidelbergs, along with six more auxiliary machines for the post-press department. This increases our capacity to ten printing presses. And with these new additions, our clients can maximize the benefits Rave offers.

Having always believed in the best, there was no doubt to continue investing in Heidelberg. Ipex 2010 reinforced this decision. Indeed I had the privilege of meeting Mr. Bernard Schreier, the CEO of Heidelberg Germany and discussing a few issues faced in the Indian print world. Another moment of honor was that Rave made the distinction of being perhaps the only Indian print industry to have been given such a large coverage by the Ipex daily news printed from Birmingham. A scanned copy of the article is reproduced on the next page for our readers.

And on that note,

enjoy the read, readers.

Expansion, the Rave styleand value added services for our customers.

According to our MD, Mr.Rakesh Bhatnagar “Rave is continuing with its trend of redefining the printing landscape in the country, especially with the astounding expansions that we believe in”. The expansion program of Rave is currently in the process of being planned at a bigger and better place somewhere around our seemingly busting-at-it’s-seams New Delhi city.

With this, since the company has only been catering to the Commercial segment of the industry, Rave is now planning to get into the huge and challenging packaging arena too. “Rave have always looked into ways and means to give our clients the best value for their money at very high levels of service standards and to the utmost satisfaction of our esteemed clients” said our MD.

Canadian Printer, a leading

printing industry trade

publication in Canada, has

announced that it will no longer

be producing print editions.

Instead, the publication will

maintain an online presence

and distribute bi-weekly

e-newsletters to its readership.

The company’s intent is to

publish one printed edition

annually highlighting innovations

in print.

The magazine industry as a

whole is struggling to find

the right business model in

the Internet age. Things are

changing on a daily basis. There

have been many a publications

which have ceased operations

in print altogether and relying

on online versions alone.

Interestingly, many online

magazines have annual “Best

Of” printed edition. Maybe

these are signs of change

and alternatives that are fast

emerging.

But, it is sad to see it in our

own industry where our survival

itself is printing !Probably Cross

Media Integration is the only

alternative left and it is our

responsibility to support print,

social media and the world wide

web - all together ! At the same

time making print clickable and

bridging the print world with the

digital world is our reality. But

what better way to drive people

on-line than through print. And

is there a better way to get

people’s attention than through

print!

For us nothing like a good read

though!

Uflex to invest Rs 1,150 cr on capacity expansion

Death of print : Canadian Printers magazine

Indian flexible packaging firm

Uflex Ltd, will invest about

Rs 1150 crore in the next two

years to enhance output from

its manufacturing plants.

“In the coming two years, there

will be an investment of $250

million to increase production

at our plants in Mexico, India

and Dubai”, Uflex Ltd Chairman

and Managing Director Ashok

Chaturvedi said here.

The firm, besides augmenting

its existing plants output, will

also start production at its

new unit in Egypt, as part of

a strategic move to increase

company earnings from Rs

2,296 crore in 2009-10 to about

Rs 4,500 crore ($1 billion) by

2013.

“We are aiming to double the

production in our units and

will mainly cater to the global

markets. Our target is to have

one billion dollar turnover by

2012-13,” Chaturvedi said.

Uflex has three manufacturing

units in India and one each in

Mexico and Dubai. The new

plant in Egypt is likely to start

production in July.

The company has current

packaging capacity of 54,560

tonnes per annum (TPA), which

will be enhanced to 79,000 TPA

in the next two years.

Chaturvedi said the company’s

three existing plants -- at

Jammu, Noida and Gwalior --

are already operating at nearly

full capacity and the new facility

is intended to cope with the

growing demand for flexible

packaging in the market.

“The growth of organised

retail segment and brands

have increased demand for

flexible packaging products,

especially in FMCG and pharma

segments. The Rs 15,000-crore

domestic industry is growing

at 15 per cent annually,” he

added.

The firm, which is listed on BSE

and NSE, has an existing annual

capacity of over three lakh

tonnes of flexible packaging,

including both plastic films and

laminates, at the three facilities.

Chaturvedi said that while the

domestic packaging industry

was growing by 15-18 per cent

per annum, the global market

was about five times larger,

which gave his company the

scope to add more customers.

“International revenue will

account for nearly 60 per cent

of our top line by 2013. This will

also add to our margins, which

are expected to go up to 22 per

cent (current 20 per cent),” he

said.

The company supplies flexible

packaging materials to clients

like PepsiCo, Nestle, Gillete,

Ranbaxy, Procter & Gamble,

Britannia and other FMCG and

pharma companies in India and

abroad.

INDUSTRY

Microsoft’s engineers

and executives spent two

years creating a new line of

smartphones with playful

names that sounded like

creatures straight out of “The

Cat in the Hat” — Kin One

and Kin Two. Stylish designs,

an emphasis on flashy social-

networking features and an

all-out marketing blitz were

meant to prove that Microsoft

could build the right product at

the right time for the finickiest

customers — gossiping

youngsters with gadget skills.

But last week, less than two

months after the Kins arrived in

stores, Microsoft said it would

kill the products.

“That’s a record-breaking quick

end to a product, as far as I

am concerned,” said Michael

Cronan, a designer who helped

drive the branding of products

like Kindle for Amazon and TiVo.

“It did seem like a big mistake

on their part.”

The Kins’ flop adds to a

long list of products —

from watches to music

players — that have

plagued Microsoft’s

consumer division, while its

business group has suffered

as well through less-than-

successful offerings like

Windows Vista and Windows

for tablet computers.

In particular, the Kin debacle

(Fewer than 10,000 Kins

were sold) is a reflection of

Microsoft’s struggle to deliver

what the younger generation

of technology-obsessed

consumers wants. From hand-

held products to business

software, Microsoft seems

behind the times.

In May, Microsoft announced a

shake-up of its consumer and

entertainment division with the

retirement this fall

of the group’s

head,

Robert

J.

Bach, and the departure of an

important designer, J Allard.

Steven A. Ballmer, the

company’s chief executive,

now has the heads of the main

consumer and entertainment-

oriented products reporting

directly to him. While Mr.

Ballmer has been praised for

increasing Microsoft’s main,

old-line businesses, he has

come under increasing fire for

failing to read changing trends

in the market and capitalize on

them.

Nowhere is that more apparent

than in Microsoft’s come-from-

increasingly giving information

Google said on Thursday that

it had agreed to acquire ITA, a

planned to create flight search

that could upset the entire $132

as well as its rival Microsoft.

after a rival, Apple, undermined

possible objections by

introducing a competing mobile

Antitrust enforcers previously

reviewed and approved

Google’s 2007 acquisition of

Doubleclick, and were prepared

to block a proposed deal with

Yahoo in 2008 before Google

walked away.

Google does not compete

directly with ITA, but many of

its largest rivals in the travel

search market, including

Microsoft, use ITA’s data.

ITA was founded in the 1990s

by computer scientists from

the Massachusetts Institute

of Technology. The company

revolutionized the ability of

consumers to find the cheapest

fares by making it easy to

compare fares among airlines.

It has licensed its product

widely, and customers include

companies like American

Airlines and Continental Airlines.

Web sites like Hotwire, Kayak,

Orbitz and Farecast, which is

now part of Microsoft’s Bing

search service, also use ITA’s

software.

The harsh glare of negative

publicity apparently isn’t going

to keep Goldman Sachs from

going through with a $500

million plan to aid America’s

small businesses.

Goldman’s aim, say these and

other published reports, is to

spur the development of small

businesses that are located

predominantly in what it regards

as “underserved markets.” The

$200 million educational grant

will enable selected schools to

offer training in management

and entrepreneurial skills to

business owners who have

been identified as candidates

by the schools and by

nonprofit partner organizations.

Graduates of this training would

then be referred for funding

to a network of Community

Development Financial

Institutions (CDFIs) into which

Goldman will inject $300

million in the form of loans or

philanthropic support.

In this way, Goldman hopes

to increase the amount of

growth capital available to small

businesses in disadvantaged

communities and to expand the

ability of the CDFIs to provide

technical assistance to small

businesses most in need of it.

Candidates for help from the

10,000 Small Business Initiative

must be firms with $150,000

to $4 million in revenues. They

must have more than four

full-time employees and be

operating on a business model

that can scale to create more

jobs. Other criteria are that the

business has been in operation

for at least two years and is

located in an underserved area.

“Small businesses are the

engines of employment and

growth in the U.S. economy,”

declares Goldman in a fact

sheet for the initiative. “The

2.2 million small businesses

Goldman Sachs Pursues A $500 Million Plan to Aid 10,000 Small Businesses

in the U.S. represent 45

percent of all employment

and 65 percent of all new jobs

during the past decade.” The

program’s primary aim is to

foster entrepreneurship in LMI

(low- to moderate-income)

communities where rates of

business formation are low and

access to good and services

often is limited.

“Entrepreneurial activity not

only provides income to the

entrepreneurs and perhaps

others in the community, but it

also provides needed goods and

services,” the fact sheet goes

on to say. “The entrepreneurs

themselves do not need to be

LMI people for the community

to profit from this double

dividend, however. Benefits

also arise from the location

of entrepreneurial enterprises

developed and operated by

HI (high income) people, but

located in LMI communities.”

Amazing, is not it? Will we ever

have such semi-philanthropists

existing in our country too?

Did we hear them go bust

in the recent past while the

recession was at its peak?

TRIVIA

Karen McQuestion is an

enterprising author who is

making her way to fame by self-

publishing electronically after

failing to catch the attention of

traditional publishers. Karen

has already sold more than

36,000 copies of her ebook

titles ‘A Scattered Life’;

Amazon’s Encore imprint will

publish it in paperback on

August 10th. Now she even has

a movie option.

Well, the world of

publishing is changing

faster than publishers

can even imagine, and

control is slipping away from

them rapidly. Where once

the big publishers considered

themselves the arbiters of

quality for the written word

and could control what hit the

bookstore shelves, technology

is rapidly changing that model.

Now libraries are jumping into

the fray. A recent article in the

Wall Street Journal (online!)

reports that “a group of libraries

led by the Internet Archive,

a nonprofit digital library, are

joining forces to create a one-

stop website for

legal challenges but in the end

both programs will mean more

choice for readers–including

what is available and how those

books can be accessed.

Let’s hope book publishers

are paying attention and

considering strategies that offer

the ebook options consumers

are seeking. Moves like Simon

& Schuster’s announcement

a few months ago that the

company would delay ebook

publication for four months

after hardcover release of many

of its top titles is the kind of

policy that demonstrates how

out of touch some publishers

are as they struggle to preserve

“business as usual” rather than

adapting to the new market

realities.

Afghanistan the next destination?

eBooks : Libraries, Publishers and Printers

The United States has

discovered nearly $1 trillion in

untapped mineral deposits in

Afghanistan, far beyond any

previously known reserves

and enough to fundamentally

alter the Afghan economy and

perhaps the Afghan war itself,

according to senior American

government officials.

The previously unknown

deposits — including huge

veins of iron, copper, cobalt,

gold and critical industrial

metals like lithium — are so big

and include so many minerals

that are essential to modern

industry that Afghanistan could

eventually be transformed into

one of the most important

mining centers in the world, the

United States officials believe.

An internal Pentagon memo,

for example, states that

Afghanistan could become the

“Saudi Arabia of lithium,” a key

raw material in the manufacture

of batteries for laptops and

BlackBerrys.

The vast scale of Afghanistan’s

mineral wealth was discovered

by a small team of Pentagon

officials and American

geologists. The Afghan

government and President

Hamid Karzai were recently

briefed, American officials said.

Instead of bringing peace, the

newfound mineral wealth could

lead the Taliban to battle even

more fiercely to regain control

of the country.

At the same time, American

officials fear resource-hungry

China will try to dominate the

development of Afghanistan’s

mineral wealth, which could

upset the United States, given

its heavy investment in the

region. After winning the bid for

its Aynak copper mine in Logar

Province, China clearly wants

more, American officials said.

The mineral deposits are

scattered throughout the

country, including in the

along the border with Pakistan

net rounds and we thought it worth while to print. We will appreciate comments from our Doc readers.

Well readers, what’s your take - looks like a rock and

a hard place situation!


A bit about the topic that leaves most skeptical and with just cause!

Given the scale and success of what South Africa achieved with FIFA 2010, the focus will be sharper on New Delhi than it might have been. The top priority will be to ensure that the games go through with as little disruption as possible and all other problems mushrooming by the day will

And a proud moment.

Our readers may recall that on the 1st of May, 2009 Rave began the annual labor day celebrations and on this day the Rave educational plan also began with a fund being set up to assist the deserving children of our employees.

The plan commenced when we got Ram Sakha’s son, Deepak Thakur admitted in grade XI at DPS R.K.Puram with Dr. Mrs. Chona, the erstwhile legendary Principal waiving off his fees. And this child kept the faith that we reposed in him. He passed out from grade XII with flying colours and has now got admission in

India and the games

The Rave education fund

For those of you who enjoy films, here is an interesting watch. A collection of 7 unusual stories made entirely with some extraordinary kids from the Mumbai slums. You’ve seen the dark side in Slumdog Millionaire, now see the colourful side in Jadui Pankh aur anya kahaniya. ( The movie has been selected for the Munich International Film Fest and the Leeds Fest)

The slums of Mumbai are home to more than a million children. Though the children may not be rich in material terms, they are very rich in love, friendship and talent.

This film has been shot over a period of 2 years across various slums of Mumbai. It has been made with children

Should foreigners be allowed? Should they be obligated to commit a part of their investment to supply chains? Should they be made to hire workers from the countryside? Should they be required to sell a part of their wares to local grocers?

Do we need a regulator for supermarkets?

Beleive us, the next Green Revolution is waiting to happen if we can stop 1 per cent of our GDP from spoiling before it reaches the dinner plate.

The next green revolutionIndia is the world’s second largest producer of fruits and vegetables but loses a quarter of its produce between the plough and the pan. Likewise, nearly 7 per cent of Indian grain rots in fields and granaries. Only one in seven tonnes of our veggies goes through cold storage.

Alternative : Foreign investment in cold chains. Not possible : India denies their developers access to retail sales. Solution : Allow them retails access too. Why : The buyer benefits from lower prices and the farmer benefits from higher realisation. Note : Indian farmers get only a third of the price the consumer pays in contrast to two-thirds of the final value earned by their counterparts in countries that have big buyers.And the global retail chains get access to a $450 billion market that is growing at nearly 9 per cent a year.

from 7 non-profit organizations. The film combines community development, education and the creative arts in an unusual way to make a difference to our society.

The stories will keep you smiling from the beginning till the end. You can watch the film through the web-site: www.filmkaar.com

The film has been directed by Nitin Das. Nitin is an alumnus of IIM Lucknow (2000) who has turned from the corporate life to make socially relevant cinema. Nitin is an Asia Society Fellow being one 21 people chosen across Asia. He has also won a special award from the British Council for creative entrepreneurship in the social sector.

be looked upon as distractions away from the larger purpose. As the clock steadily and surely clicks away for the impending Commonwealth games, what have we? Emergency purchases, last minute finalizing of contracts with all that it entails!

Looks like Athens 2004 is being repeated. And Greece is still paying the price.

Delhi University for engineering and Rave continues to financially support this worthy child.

Thereafter, another employee, Om Prakash’s son, Prateek Narula also became part of our educational plan. He has now got admission in B.Tech, Computer Science at a Noida college with Rave helping out financially.

We wish them both the best.

PETA

A well known organization – indeed most would have heard of it. Founded two decades ago by Ingrid Newkirk, Peta continues to draw hullabaloo. Detractors claim that the outrageous publicity tactics of Peta are grossly offensive and can in no way be equated with their cause – save animals. A truly noble cause which has got lost in the controversial advertising Peta indulges in and draws public attention to anything but the cause of animals. It rather stretches the realms of imagination to equate nubile naked bodies with protecting animals.

While animal rights and animal protection are subjects that desperately need attention, how far is too far when finding creative ways to shine a spotlight on those issues? Can overzealous advertising do more harm than good, masking the issue behind a circus of media?

In their desire to attract

People for ethical treatment for animals?

attention to their purpose, they’ve missed the mark and drawn only criticism from their advertisements. The latest ad showing Pamela Anderson posing nude with the body parts explicitly marked as a butcher would an animal, is another in the long line of Peta ads to have been banned. An earlier ad drew tremendous flak by the anti defamation league for an advert titled “ holocaust on you plate “that compared slaughtering animals to the murder of six million Jews during the second world war. Indeed it was perceived as trivializing the holocaust.

In the past Peta has been known to equate sex with death, put up ads comparing a mass murderer to slaughtering pigs. Also they’ve said they would reject animal testing even if it led to a cure for AIDS.

Oh, and they also sent the comic books, like the one you see on this page to children.

Nice, huh?

Why would an animal rights

group secretly kill animals at its

headquarters? PETA’s continued

silence on the matter makes

it hard to say for sure. But

from a cost-saving standpoint,

PETA’s hypocrisy isn’t difficult

to understand: Killing adoptable

cats and dogs – and storing the

bodies in a walk-in freezer until

they can be cremated – requires

far less money and effort than

caring for the pets until they are

adopted.

PETA has a $33 million annual

budget. But instead of investing

in the lives of the thousands

of flesh and blood creatures

in its care, the group spends

millions on media campaigns

telling Americans that eating

meat, drinking milk, fishing,

hunting, wearing leather shoes,

and benefiting from medical

research performed on lab rats

are all “unethical.”

The World Cup frenzy

The Cup of FIFA.The work of Italian artist Silvio Gazzaniga.

He described his creation thus: “The lines spring out from the base, rising in spirals, stretching out to receive the world. From the remarkable dynamic tensions of the compact body of the sculpture rise the figures of two athletes at the stirring moment of victory”.

The current FIFA World Cup Trophy cannot be won outright, as the regulations state that it shall remain FIFA’s own possession. The FIFA World Cup winners retain it until the next tournament and are awarded a replica, gold-plated

rather than solid gold.

Since the advent of the World Cup in 1930, two trophies have represented victory: the Jules Rimet Trophy from 1930 to 1970, and the FIFA World Cup Trophy from 1974 to the present day.

The trophy, originally named Victory, but later renamed in honour of former FIFA president Jules Rimet, was made of gold plated sterling silver and lapis lazuli and depicted Nike, the Greek goddess of victory. Brazil won the trophy outright in 1970, prompting the commissioning of a replacement.

The siege within Kashmir

“Surely, in the 21st century it

should be possible to control

protesters, armed only with

stones, without having to kill

young men and women. It’s

not surprising that the average

Kashmiri finds it disturbing

that while Kashmiri protests

lead to deaths, protests

during the Bharat bandh, for

instance, lead to no such

violence.”
