Bonus shares and stock splits both increase the number of a company's shares, but they differ in their purpose and impact on share price. Bonus shares are issued using a company's reserves and do not change the total market capitalization, causing the individual share price to decrease proportionally. Stock splits reduce the market price of each share to increase liquidity and allow smaller investors to purchase shares, also without changing the total market capitalization. Both actions are generally viewed positively by the market as indicators of a company's growth and performance.
Lupin reported in-line results for the first quarter of fiscal year 2011, with net sales of Rs1,312 crore, operating profit margin of 20%, and net profit of Rs196 crore. Key drivers of growth included strong sales of generic drugs in the US market, as well as expansion of Lupin's domestic field force in India. While the company saw a delay in FDA approval for oral contraceptive drugs, management does not expect this to impact its competitive position. The analyst maintains an 'Accumulate' rating for Lupin based on its scale in key markets like the US and India, as well as its pipeline of generic drug approvals.

Hara-kiri, also known as seppuku, was a form of Japanese ritual suicide by disembowelment. It originated in the 12th century among samurai warriors and became an important part of the Bushido code of honor. The ritual involved slicing open the abdomen with a short blade to either die from the wound or receive a decapitating cut from a companion using a katana sword. Samurai performed hara-kiri mainly to avoid dishonorable defeat or to regain lost honor, as it was seen as a noble way to die.

Contemporary Conspiracies Internet VersionMatteo Villa
The document discusses conspiracy theories and their typical features. It analyzes theories about 9/11, the Pentagon attack, and the moon landing. Conspiracy theories often employ fallacies like straw man arguments and reversing the burden of proof. They also rely heavily on visual evidence and intricate reasoning to support implausible claims. Debunking efforts point to scientific explanations like the effects of fire on building structures and correct perspectives to explain phenomena like shadows on the moon.

Maruti Suzuki India Limited, formerly known as Maruti Udyog Limited, is an automobile manufacturer in India. It is a subsidiary of Japanese automobile and motorcycle manufacturer Suzuki Motor Corporation.
At MSIL I worked at Quality Control Department and the project I had worked upon was AOI - Automated Optical Inspection
AOI, automated optical inspection is an automated vision inspection of PCB during the manufacturing process. It is used to scan the inner layers and outer layers of PCB after the processes of etching and stripping. After scanning by AOI machine, the defects which do not meet the manufacturer’s requirement will be identified by the machine. In this way, AOI can detect problems early in the production process, so faults would not be passed to next production process and production cost could be saved. AOI uses visual methods to monitor printed circuit boards for defects. They are able to detect a variety of surface feature defects such as nodules, scratches and stains as well as the more familiar dimensional defects such as open circuits, shorts and thinning of the solder. They can also detect incorrect components, missing components and incorrectly placed components. As such they are able to perform all the visual checks performed previously by manual operators, and far more swiftly and accurately.

Many companies have perceived CRM that accompanied by numerous
uncoordinated initiatives as a technological solution for problems in
individual areas. However, CRM should be considered as a strategy when
a company decides to implement it due to its humanitarian, technological
and process-related effects (Mendoza et al., 2007, p. 913). CRM is
evolving today as it should be seen as a strategy for maintaining a longterm relationship with customers.
A CRM business strategy includes the internet with the marketing,
sales, operations, customer services, human resources, R&D, finance, and
information technology departments to achieve the company’s purpose and
maximize the profitability of customer interactions (Chen and Popovich,
2003, p. 673).

Corporate innovation with Startups made simple with Pitchworks VC StudioGokul Rangarajan
In this write up we will talk about why corporates need to innovate, why most of them of failing and need to startups and corporate start collaborating with each other for survival
At the end of the conversation the CIO asked us 3 questions which sparked us to write this blog.
1 Do my organisation need innovation ?
2 Even if I need Innovation why are so many other corporates of our size fail in innovation ?
3 How can I test it in most cost effective way ?
First let's address the Elephant in the room, is Innovation optional ?
Relevance for customers
Building Business Reslience
competitive advantage
Corporate innovation is essential for businesses striving to remain relevant and competitive in today's rapidly evolving market. By continuously developing new products, services, and processes, companies can better meet the changing needs and preferences of their customers. For instance, Apple's regular release of new iPhone models keeps them at the forefront of consumer technology, while Amazon's introduction of Prime services has revolutionized online shopping convenience. Statistics show that innovative companies are 2.5 times more likely to have high-performance outcomes compared to their peers.
This proactive approach not only helps in retaining existing customers but also attracts new ones, ensuring sustained growth and market presence.
Furthermore, innovation fosters a culture of creativity and adaptability within organizations, enabling them to quickly respond to emerging trends and disruptions. In essence, corporate innovation is the driving force that keeps companies aligned with customer expectations, ultimately leading to long-term success and relevance.
Business Resilience
Building business resilience is paramount for companies looking to thrive amidst uncertainties and disruptions. Corporate innovation plays a crucial role in fostering this resilience by enabling businesses to adapt, evolve, and maintain continuity during challenging times. For instance, during the COVID-19 pandemic, many companies that swiftly innovated their business models, such as shifting to remote work or expanding e-commerce capabilities, managed to survive and even thrive. According to a McKinsey report, organizations that prioritize innovation are 30% more likely to be high-growth companies. Innovation not only helps in developing new revenue streams but also in creating more efficient processes and resilient supply chains. This agility allows companies to quickly pivot in response to market changes, ensuring they can weather economic downturns, technological disruptions, and other unforeseen challenges. Therefore, corporate innovation is not just a strategy for growth but a vital component of building a robust and resilient business capable of sustaining long-term success.

m249-saw PMI To familiarize the soldier with the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon ...LinghuaKong2
M249 Saw marksman PMIThe Squad Automatic Weapon (SAW), or 5.56mm M249 is an individually portable, gas operated, magazine or disintegrating metallic link-belt fed, light machine gun with fixed headspace and quick change barrel feature. The M249 engages point targets out to 800 meters, firing the improved NATO standard 5.56mm cartridge.The SAW forms the basis of firepower for the fire team. The gunner has the option of using 30-round M16 magazines or linked ammunition from pre-loaded 200-round plastic magazines. The gunner's basic load is 600 rounds of linked ammunition.The SAW was developed through an initially Army-led research and development effort and eventually a Joint NDO program in the late 1970s/early 1980s to restore sustained and accurate automatic weapons fire to the fire team and squad. When actually fielded in the mid-1980s, the SAW was issued as a one-for-one replacement for the designated "automatic rifle" (M16A1) in the Fire Team. In this regard, the SAW filled the void created by the retirement of the Browning Automatic Rifle (BAR) during the 1950s because interim automatic weapons (e.g. M-14E2/M16A1) had failed as viable "base of fire" weapons.
Early in the SAW's fielding, the Army identified the need for a Product Improvement Program (PIP) to enhance the weapon. This effort resulted in a "PIP kit" which modifies the barrel, handguard, stock, pistol grip, buffer, and sights.
The M249 machine gun is an ideal complementary weapon system for the infantry squad platoon. It is light enough to be carried and operated by one man, and can be fired from the hip in an assault, even when loaded with a 200-round ammunition box. The barrel change facility ensures that it can continue to fire for long periods. The US Army has conducted strenuous trials on the M249 MG, showing that this weapon has a reliability factor that is well above that of most other small arms weapon systems. Today, the US Army and Marine Corps utilize the license-produced M249 SAW.
