We
live in a rapid globalizing world and certain national
identifiers like taste, technology, market and finance
are no longer constrained by national boundaries. They
operate on a global basis. Globalization is fast spreading
to all corners of the world through multinational organizations
spreading their business due to expansion to seek new
opportunities in under developed markets. The IT sector
has placed India on the forefront, but should we be moving
up the value chain here?

The
winds of Globalisation are flowing through the entire
world, in all sectors. The Power Sector is also affected
by the same. In India, State Electricity Boards were formed
by Act of 1948, with the sole intention to create the
infrastructure, and to serve the poor or to extend social
justice to down-trodden and the neglected ones. However,
do SEB’s operations need to undergo major upheaval
and have the quality of power supply and search for alternative
sources received enough attention?

Indian

driving the retailers and architects to innovate. How
has the retail sector managed this change?

The
construction sector accounts for nearly 6 per cent of
India's GDP and is emerging as one of the key growth segments
in the economy. The sector's contribution is likely to
increase in the coming years. Infrastructure, road projects,
highways and power constitute a significant portion in
this sector. This quest has led the construction sector
and in turn Gammon India to pioneer various civil engineering
techniques. Gammon today can be rightly referred to as
“Builders to the Nation.”
