Aramsogo,please give a link to what you are saying,otherwise stop behaving like an idiot.

What are you talking about? Tata bought corus for 11 billion dollars. Then there is tetley tea and not to mention Jaguar and land rover. What is $550 million then? Tata is the biggest manufacturing employer in UK. Would you care to refute any of this?

Indian math. When a company buys another company it issues bonds or gets syndicated loans or issues stock, the leverage is 20 to 1 or more. The actually equity is very little. Your media is known to exaggerate and use made up figures that defy logic.

You made acquisitions so easy…Why am I doing my MBA?

So Brits must be very happy now but hundred millions people in India are very SAD!!!!

and your hopeless

 

[tjpf]

I think the journalists should be shot. Its good to see India making progress but I think the journalist just want the Indian people to have a few orgasms. Matter of fact, I doubt the claim that Indians are the 3rd largest investors in UK.

no no its Bangladesh that is 2nd largest investor in UK

 

[tjpf]

agree. india itself is a developing country badly need FDI so much. if india is really the 3rd largest investor to UK then it doesn't only sound ironic but also means UK must be in a big big trouble.

India doesn't need FDI badly alright rather US and West wants India to open retailing, banking and insurance sector which India hasn't done to protect the interest of its small time businessman unlike China though a communist country has become more capatalistic than US now

 

[zombieland]

Dude when u are wrong by a mile... it is good to remain silent and not proclaim your idiot 'ism to the outer world. So stupid ....

I stand corrected and I guess I made a mistake. But I expressed doubt about India being the 3rd largest investor in UK, no need to get personal and take offence, but what about in the States? Like one of your countrymen suggested that India is the second biggest investor in US, can you please back that claim with a reliable source? You only replied to half the argument I made.

Aramsogo,please give a link to what you are saying,otherwise stop behaving like an idiot.

I use commercial economic and financial databases. Some cost $1mil per year. There's no link. This is public information and I'm sure available on the US Treasury website.

Here, I did a 10 second google (is that so hard??) and found this from Parliament (Look at Table 3):

Do you see India even in the Top 10???
Myth-busting Indian media hardly makes one an idiot, quite the opposite.

UK's Relations with India

Britain and India share a global vision and democratic values. UK and India both play a proactive role in international affairs. Both have a strong interest in success of multilateralism. Both play vital roles in the UN, WTO, Commonwealth and range of other bodies.

Both countries have wealth of cultural and ethnic diversity. India's diversity is legendary. In the UK ethnic minorities make up 8 per cent of the population: modern UK is a success in multiculturalism. Indian origin community in the UK now numbers over 1 million and is the most prosperous of the major ethnic communities in the country. A vital bridge between two countries.

India is now the 3rd largest foreign investor in the UK in terms of projects, second only to the US and Japan. In the first half of 2006, according to Ernst & Young's European Investment Monitor 2006 Report, Indian investment into the UK overtook Japan, making India the 2nd largest investor in the UK.

JETCO: The Joint Economic and Trade Committee, set up in January 2005, is helping India and the UK identify ways for further boosting bilateral trade and investment. It has already delivered a number of benefits. Power is one area of priority in the JETCO infrastructure group.

India is one of UK's largest export markets in the developing world and accounts for 80.4% (£2813m) of the total exports in the South Asia region. UK exports to India during 2005 have increased substantially by about 25.4% over the previous year. Major UK exports to India include: non-metallic minerals, gold, telecom equipment, transport equipment and industrial machinery. UK's imports from India: textiles and readymade garments, gems and jewellery, footwear, metal manufactures, organic chemicals and vegetables and fruit.

In 2005-06, Indian investments into the UK rose by 110%, an amazing leap for India on UK's investors' chart - from No. 8 to No. 3. (US and Japan were first and second respectively).

That's why you are doing your MBA and I already got one years ago (much higher rank too) and I've worked for Mayfair firms you kill to get into when you graduate.

But your knowledge of acquisitions is very minimal. Anyway where did you do you MBA?
According to FT, London Business School is ranked number 1 in the world
