कोणत्याही औषधाचे ब्रॅण्ड् नेम, मूळ नाव, किंमत, कंपनीचे नाव यासारखी माहिती ‘मोबाईल ड्रग डाटा बेस’ प्रणालीमुळे पुण्या- मुंबईसह संपूर्ण देशातील औषध विक्रेते, डॉक्टरांना एका संदेशाद्वारे अवघ्या ३० ते ४० सेंकदात मोबाईलवर प्राप्त होऊ लागली आहे. पुण्यासह महाराष्ट्रातील बाराशे ग्राहक या सेवेचा सध्या लाभ घेत आहेत.‘ऑल इंडियन ओरिजीन केमिस्ट अ‍ॅन्ड डिस्ट्रीब्युटर्स लि. (एआयओसीडी) आणि फार्मा सॉफ्टेक अव्ॉक्स’ या संयुक्त कंपनीने या प्रकारची सेवा देशभरात सुरू केली आहे. देशात सुमारे सहा हजार औषध कंपन्या कार्यरत असून त्यांचे सव्वादोन लाख उत्पादने बाजारात उपलब्ध आहेत. अव्ॉक्स कंपनीमार्फत सर्व औषध कंपन्यांच्या उत्पादनासह विविध माहिती संकलित केली जाते. प्रमुख कंपन्यांची नावे, सर्वाधिक चांगला ब्रॅण्ड कोणता, बाजारात कोणते उत्पादन सर्वाधिक विक्रीचे आहे, त्यांचा स्पर्धक कोण यासारखी माहिती अव्ॉक्स कंपनी औषध कंपन्यांना पुरविते. त्यावरून संबंधित कंपनीला उत्पादन कशाप्रकारे बाजारात आणावे याची योजना आखणे सोपे जाते.

रुग्णास एखादे औषध लिहून देताना त्याचा ब्रॅंण्ड नेम किंवा औषधाचे मूळ नाव, कंपनीचे नाव आठवत नसेल तर मोबाईलमध्ये जाऊन औषधाचे नाव टाईप क रावे नंतर कंपनीने दिलेल्या एका विशिष्ट क्रमांकावर तो संदेश पाठवावा. अवघ्या ३० ते ४० सेंकदात तुम्हाला कंपनीकडून प्राप्त झालेल्या संदेशातून हवी ती माहिती मिळेल. परंतु, एखाद्यावेळी तांत्रिक अडथळा आल्यास कंपनीपर्यंत संदेश पोहोचण्यास अयशस्वी होण्याची शक्यता नाकारता येत नाही. आयडिया, एअरटेल, टाटा, रिलायन्स, डोकोमो, बीएसएनएल सारख्या विविध मोबाईल कंपन्यांच्या मोबाईलवर ही सुविधा प्राप्त होऊ शकते,’ अशी माहिती जागुष्टे यांनी दिली.

Transliterator for Devanagari Typing

Posted by Abhinav M Kulkarni in GENERAL

Hi,

Please use transliteration service by Google/Microsoft to type in Marathi/Hindi.
It is very easy to use. It is available as a web service as well as a desktop gadget. I would highly recommend downloading the desktop Google's transliterator and using it actively for posting/chatting in Devanagari and other purposes.

"Transliteration is the practice of converting a text from one writing system into another in a systematic way. An example of transliteration is typing an e-mail using a qwerty keyboard and sending it in a non-qwerty script" - Wikipedia

It is always a pain to read Devanagari posts typed in English.

या बायकांना काही म्हणजे काहीच कळत नाही

बाहेर जाताना विचारते कोणती साडी घालू

उत्तर देताच म्हणते घालू का हिरवाच शालू

आधीच ठरले होते तर विचारायचे कशाला?

कोणतीही घाल म्हणायची सोय नाही बिचाऱ्याला

तसे म्हटले तर नको तेव्हा रूसून बसणार बाई

या बायकांना काही म्हणजे काहीच कळत नाही

ही गाडी चालवणार तेव्हा मी डोळे मिटतो

हिला इतर गाड्यांचा अफाट अंदाज असतो

कुठेही ब्रेक लावते कुठेही शहनाई हार्नची

डेंटींग पेन्टींगनेच होते सांगता महिन्याची

हवे तसे वळणावर कधीच वळत नाही

या बायकांना काही म्हणजे काहीच कळत नाही

आउच्या काऊचे काहीतरी उगाच सांगत बसते

टिव्ही सिरियलच्या प्रसंगांवर हसते रडते

या कानातून त्या कानात केले तर येतो राग

ऐकण्याचे नाटक केले तर तेही पडते महाग

यांना दया म्हणूनही जरा शांत राहता येत नाही

या बायकांना काही म्हणजे काहीच कळत नाही

मी हरलो म्हणू नकोस

यावेळी हरलोय म्हण

पुन्हा जग जिंकण्यासाठी

येतील कितीतरी क्षण

एकटा उरलो म्हणू नकोस

सध्या एकटा आहे म्हण

आयुष्य संपले नाही अजून

भेटतील किती तरी जण

मी थकलो म्हणू नकोस

जरा दम घेतोय म्हण

पुन्हा झेप घेण्यासाठी

पेटून उठेल एकेक कण

तुषार जोशी, नागपूर

WHAT IS PARTNERSHIP? AN INDIAN OVERVIEW

Posted by Kulkarni & Kulkarnis in FINANCE, GENERAL, LAW

Today we like globalized competitive world. Today’s business has not been one mans show as it was few years back.  For any business to survive alliance is almost necessary. Alliance may be in any form like partnership, joint venture, mergers & acquisitions. This article would give a brief about partnership form.

What is partnership?
In layman’s language its two or more persons coming together for common purpose. Sec. 4 of the Indian Partnership Act 1932 defines partnership as “it is the relation between persons who have agreed to share the profits of a business carried on by all or any one of them acting for all.” The persons who have entered into partnership with one another are called as partners & collectively known as firm. The firm has not a legal entity in India.

What are the essential elements of partnership?
1.    Association of two or more persons.
There must be at least two or more persons to form a partnership. The partnership act is silent about the maximum numbers of partners in a firm. But the Indian Companies Act 1956 lays down that :(1) where the firm is carrying on banking business, the number of partners should not exceed 10, & (2) where the firm is carrying on any other business, the number of partners should not exceed 20. If the number of maximum partners exceeds these limits, the partnership becomes illegal association of persons.
2.    Agreement between the persons.
As per sec.5 of Partnership Act, the relation of partnership arises from contract & not from status. The agreement of partnership may be expressed or implied.
3.    Business.
Partnership can be formed only for the purpose of carrying on some business. Sec.2 (b) Partnership Act defines as it includes every trade, occupation or profession.
4.    Sharing of Profits
The sharing of profits is only a prima facie evidence of the existence of partnership and this is not the conclusive test of it.
5.    Business carried on by all or any one of them acting for all.
The mutual agency relationship amongst the partners is the cardinal principle which governs partnership. That means each partner is the agent of the firm as well as of the other partners.

Who can become the partners?
As per definition, “Partnership is an agreement.” Therefore all persons who are competent to contract can become partners. Sec.11 of the Indian Contract Act 1872 defines that “every person is competent to contract who is of the age of majority according to law to which he is subject and is of sound mind and is not disqualified from contracting by any law to which he is subject.”

Types of Partnership
Partnership can be classified:
A.    Partnership at will (sec.7)
A partnership is called partnership at will when (a) the partnership is not for fixed period of the time and (b) when no provision is made as to when and how the partnership will come to an end. Partnership at will can be dissolved at any time when any partner chooses to do so after giving notice in writing to all other partners. The firm is then dissolved from the date mentioned in the notice as the date of dissolution and if no such date is mentioned then from the date of communication of the notice.
B.    Partnership for fixed period
Where the partners agree to carry on its business for a definite term then the partnership is known as partnership for fixed period.
C.    Particular Partnership
Particular partnership is a partnership formed for a particular adventure or undertaking. On completion of such undertaking or adventure the partnership is usually dissolved. But if all the partner mutually agrees to continue partnership then it becomes partnership at will.

My next few articles will be on how to get partnership firm registered in India? & Dissolution of partnership firm.

PROFILE OF AN ENTREPRENEUR

Posted by Kulkarni & Kulkarnis in GENERAL

In my last we have discussed about of being an entrepreneur. Now this article is deals with profile of an entrepreneur. You don’t necessarily be a family member of businessmen nor should possess a MBA degree. What matters is common sense i.e. business mindset. Even a school drop out can become a successful entrepreneur. We have the living examples right from Microsoft’s Bill Gates to Wal-Mart’s Sam Walton.

An entrepreneurs profile will not be complete unless until they possess the following qualities:

1.    Self-confidence
It’s the #1 attribute. Its confidence, confidence & confidence. There is no exception to this rule.

2.    Risk Taker
Entrepreneurship is about taking risks. It’s about reaping the risks and the reward that comes from all this, but within the articulated guidelines of a business.

3.    Scarifies
Scarifies is the hardest part to par with it for an entrepreneur. Many businessmen start their business in the prime of their careers after being recognized as great managers. A great manager means bulky salaries, perks & luxurious life. But for an entrepreneur it’s applying CBA (Cost Benefit Analysis) theorem.  It’s flying in an economical class, living in a hotel which is economical sometimes even less than $50. Its all about sacrificing luxury lifestyle, being economical with your expenses which lead to success. Do not compare with what you have left behind.

4.    Freedom & Discipline
Entrepreneurs love freedom but are also much disciplined. They like taking instructions from more competent people & customers. Freedom however comes with great responsibility and accountability.
A good entrepreneur is an highly disciplined person.
Freedom to an entrepreneur means the ability to choose a life of business & st goals consistent with stake holder ambition.

5.    Money
Its always been said & is correct that money matters. Same is the case with entrepreneurs. They just love money. Entrepreneurship is generating more wealth from wealth. Its about creating legacies in many walk of lives.
 A lesser fact is that 65.8% of the empire is owned by charitable trust. The Bill & Melinda Gates foundation is arguably the world’s second richest charitable organization with assets that stood at $26.9 billion in 2006. Without affection for wealth it wouldn’t be possible.

DIRECTORS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR DISHONOURED CHEQUE

Recent Supreme Court Judgment has brought cheers on director’s face of companies. The Supreme Court ruled last week that prosecution for issuing a cheque which was dishonoured for want of credit in the bank can be initiated only against the person who issued the cheque and not against the company or directors who were not aware of it. It quashed the Madras High Court order to try the company, the chairman and the managing director in judgment, PJ Agro Tech Ltd. Vs Water Base Ltd. The two companies have entered into an agreement for distribution of prawn feed in Andhra Pradesh. However, it did not succeed and PJ Agro authorized the other company to collect its due from customers who has not paid for the goods. It appointed a coordinator for the purpose. He issued a cheque to Water Base which bounced, leading to the filing of charges under The Negotiable Instrument Act. The Supreme Court explained that the coordinator might have issued the cheque for the benefit of PJ Agro, but the directors of the latter company were not responsible for the default.
