Vanita Kohli-Khandekar: Should media companies get into events?
The question the headline raises is being increasingly asked. Not because the trend is new, but because it is now more than eight years old. Across a range of segments from broadcasting (radio or TV), publishing or others, media companies that have got into the events business have seen somewhat disappointing results. The 4-10 per cent of topline brought in by the events doesn’t justify the effort put in by media companies. Think of it this way — selling a double-spread ad in a magazine or a half-page one in a newspaper gets better margins than the sponsorship for an event. http://smallpersonalloans.org.uk

The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs had last month given approval for sale of five per cent government stake in the navratna PSU. After the 5 per cent stake dilution, the government"s holding in NTPC would come down to 84.5 per cent from the current 89.5 per cent. The government expects to mop up about Rs 8,100 crore from the market through this FPO, at the current market conditions. The proceeds from the FPO would go to the investment fund that finances social sector schemes. In 2004, NTPC had raised about Rs 2,700 crore through the initial public offering (IPO) when the government diluted 5.24 per cent of its stake.
