The Indian Stock Market - The worst is not over
Until January 2008, many analysts predicted Sensex to touch 25,000 before the year end and no one predicted that Sensex would drop precipitously or that the Indian Rupee would depreciate with respect to the US Dollar.
On January 8, 2008, Evalueserve published a while paper, titled “The Indian Stock Market – Continued Boom or Impending Bust?”, which outlined the high likelihood of the following scenario unfolding: “Because of a sudden crisis of confidence, there would be a flight of FII (Foreign Institutional Investor) money out of the country. According to Evalueserve’s models and analysis, if US $12 billion of FII money were to leave within a quarter, the stock market would drop by approximately 30% and the Indian Rupee would depreciate by about 6%. This would imply a level of 14,000 for Sensex, which was the level of Sensex around a year ago when it was already causing anxieties among market participants, regulators, and the Indian government. Fortunately, an immediate 6% depreciation of the Indian currency would not be catastrophic for the economy, although it would lead to a bout of inflation and a short-term negative impact to the current account deficit.”

"Why your innovation can be your competitor’s free lunch”, asks Evalueserve
Global research and analytics firm, Evalueserve, drew an interesting comparison between Tata’s much awaited Nano and the colorful Crocs footwear. The funny-looking Crocs footwear that initially elicited stares and snickers had suddenly become serious business after its launch. However, since the beginning of 2008, the share price of Crocs has fallen by 97%. One of the main reasons behind the mighty fall of Crocs is the wide availability of cheap knockoffs, which Crocs would like to eliminate from its primary markets, but it does not have the adequate patent protection to do so. In a similar vein, the unveiling of Nano, at a price of about USD 2,500 by Tata Motors in January 2008 has catapulted the image of the company, and renewed people’s interest in cheap and fuel efficient cars. Unlike the Crocs-inspired Chery S16 compact car, the Tata Nano is a smart-looking car, but is it innovative? Is this innovation sufficiently protected by patents? How can the carmaker avoid the mistakes and pitfalls that have plagued Crocs Inc.? These are some of the questions that Evalueserve has addressed in its recently released article titled, ‘Patent or Perish - Why your innovation can be your competitor’s free lunch?

Evalueserve study: India to emerge as global innovation hub
India will emerge as the next global hub for innovation, according to a study on “R&D Ecosystem in India” conducted by Evalueserve and released by the British High Commission and the Canadian High Commission in India.
India targets to increase its R&D spend from less than 1 percent of GDP to 2 percent by 2012 under the 11th Five-Year Plan. The move will catapult India to the league of developed nations that spend 2.5 percent of their GDP on R&D on an average.
The Indian R&D ecosystem comprises various supporting infrastructure, government departments, research organisations, funding institutions and industry associations. The government is focusing on public-private partnerships, such as knowledge parks and incubator programmes, to promote commercialisation, transfer and diffusion of technology.
