Two Slab
Income Tax

The Kelkar panel, constituted to reform India's direct taxes, has reopened the tax debate-and at the individual level as well. Should we simplify the thicket of codifications that pass as tax laws? And why should tax calculations be so complicated as to necessitate tax lawyers? Should we move to a two-slab system? A report.


Dying Differentiation
This festive season has seen discount upon discount. Prices that seemed too low to go any lower have fallen further. Brands that prided themselves in price consistency (among the consistent values that constitute a brand) have abandoned their resistance. Whatever happened to good old brand differentiation?

THE BEST OF BT.. 2002
Here's a sampling of what your favourite magazine had to offer through the year.
January 20, 2002: All about Indian business
March 3, 2002: Who you should work for
March 31, 2002: You read it here first
June 9, 2002: The year's regulation scam

The Year Had It All

June 23, 2002: The sunflower changeth
September 29, 2002: Were you part of it?
October 27, 2002: He's a marathon man
November 10, 2002: No surprises here

The comic book capers of India's most creative agency o&m.

The pristine encylopedia-like quality of the tenth anniversary issue-our rendition of The Whole

Earth Catalog.

The requisite scam, this one involving G-secs and co-operative banks.

The usual suspects: studies on best employers, most valuable companies, and just about anything readers like to see in a magazine.

A first-ever listing-to be an annual feature from this year-of India's hottest young executives.

(Pity we had to stretch the age-limit to 42 to fit people in).

An eye-popping story on the sexual harassment menace in Indian corporates.

With an equally e-p cover that some thought scandalous.

And a sexual harassment ready reckoner that now adorns the walls of several corporates.

A wholly-business minded feature on CEO fitness-that's right, it's the one with Anil Ambani and the pigeons on the cover.

Our staple corporate features on Tata (he talked to us first), Wipro (we were the first to notice the electric fencing around its corporate office, a manifestation of CEO Azim Premji's security consciousness), HLL-the most recent told the company's futile efforts to spur topline growth as it was.

And an exclusive interview with the world's richest man-if you read this magazine you surely know who it is.

Now wait for 2003.
