Shanghai Noon... or daymare?

Well, if you look at market share figures released by IDC India, ‘mayhem’ is not exactly the word. LenovoLenovo, in fact only did retain its third position with a market share of 9% for the client PC segment (desktops & notebooks in terms of shipments) in calendar year 2007, as was the case in 2006. Market leader HP, on the other hand, managed the growth ‘faster than the market’ benchmark well, as its market share grew from 18% to 21% for calendar year 2007. And in the all important notebook PC market as well (which is doubling year on year in India), Lenovo (market share of 17% at number 2 position) remains a far cry from the leader HP, which gobbled up a massive 38% share in 2006. And this is besides HP’s unrivalled dominance over the printer segment. With such a powerful adversary to contend with, does Lenovo even stand a chance to topple the number one? What makes the company so confident of its chances?

Forex dealers opine that the rupee rallied sharply as anticipated in response to China’s decision to widen the trading band on the Yuan and to eventually raise domestic interest rates.

The hall of fame

Going to the movies? Have you considered the options – Inox, PVR, Cinemax, Wave, Adlabs, Satyam… the list goes on. There was a time when watching a movie and popcorn centered on just getting to the nearest cinema hall showing the film. Nowadays, the culture has exponentially changed.

Every consumer enters not a single screen hall, but is offered a plethora of choices in one place. You decide on various factors – the movies, food, seats, the different pricing for every show et al. You even decide whether you would like to be pampered like a baby in a relaxing Cinemax Gold/PVR Europa lounge with its super cushioned recliners. Who wants to go home, now?
