 Corporate
India is weaning its best executives away from guaranteed
compensation structures to variable pay programmes. Corporate

called Alan Greenspan — yes, chief of Fed Reserve — “a fool
and a liar”. And he logged out of the dealing room before he hit
the naughty forties. Here’s one for the road with Jim Rogers. |

Pizzas,
Well Don |
 Even
as multinationals like Wimpy’s were closing their kitchens in
Kolkata, the Don set fire to the discerning Bengali palate. Now,
the pizza war enters the last round — and this time the
competitor is none other than Domino’s. |
