Commonwealth Games Closing ceremony Better than Opening ?

Posted: 14 Oct 2010 03:13 AM PDT

The curtain is set to fall on the trending Commonwealth Games 2010 today. The grand sporting event

has been a witness to both bitter-sweet incidents ranging from the chaotic arrangements at the CWG

Village to a pompous opening ceremony held on October 3. The gorgeous opener pushed the bad press

surrounding the event into a corner and made Indians go gaga.

Till the multi-discipline sports festival involving 71 nations began, many companies were wary of

associating their brand with the games limiting the number of official corporate sponsorships.

But, than, what are our own PSU companies for?

The Government has often nudged the large public sector companies to come at its rescue at such times

be it oil subsides from major Oil Marketing companies, lapping up state-owned IPO/FPOs by LIC or

forcefully pushing these companies to associate themselves with the Games in the absence of adequate

number of private sponsors who abandoned the games because of negative publicity around it during

the initial days.

But, as they say all is well, that ends well! As of now in the concluding day, India have exact 100

medals in their kitty constituting 38 gold, 26 silver and 36 bronze. They also currently hold 2nd position

in neck to neck fight with England.

With Indian players proving their mettle and registering victory in various fronts, all the sins of the

organizing committee are wiped-out. The thumping Indian victories will definitely inspire the youth

towards the varied sporting events.

Theoretically, improper organisation of the CWG could have thrown a bad light on the prowess of Indian

governments ability to manage an event on the global podium and further to its ability to manage the

Indias economic juggernaut. But, with a sound proceedings of programming, the Indian image has

emerged unscathed despite dire predictions about the games.

The CWG organizers had to call onto luxury hotel chains to clean up mess at the Games Village which

further reaffirms my belief that the booming India Growth Story is more about the private sector

economic evolution; rather than the public sector revolution which is still immersed in red-tapism.

As I am writing this, the world is awaiting the 45-minute closing ceremony to be held in evening which

has been divided into 6 segments including a display of martial arts with artistes drawn from various

parts of the country and a showcase of Indias rich cultural heritage.

The pundits are already betting on the closing programme to be a crispier affair than that of the opening

ceremony held on October 3.

Futurebazaar has revamped its online strategy and launched a new E-commerce site that offers mobile

phones , electronics and other things at deep discounted rates. These are probably just the promotional

offers as part of their launch strategy, but I am sure the prices of Android phones are going to keep

tumbling.

Huwaei has already announced that it will soon be launching a sub Rs. 5k phone in next couple of

months. There is also a news that Micromax has partnered with Android and will be bringing in a Cheap

Android phone this Diwali.

Android phones will go fully mainstream and gather critical mass once they are in Rs. 5000 bracket.

Imagine even if India has about 2-3% of all mobile subscribers carrying Android phones, we will have

about 20 25 million Android phones in India itself.
