The last year of the second millennium is almost upon us and the world
around looks as unsteady and nervous as a batsman approaching his first
hundred. India however seems better off and let us hope that she passes
through her nervous '99 slowly, steadily and surely.
In this final issue of Brigade Insight
for the year 1998, we bring you an interview with the widely travelled
Akhtar Badshah whose concept of business citizenship is gaining popularity
and will hopefully usher in a new era for Bangalore City.
Brigade has travelled to the Gulf where our Managing Director,
Mr Jaishankar made a presentation in Muscat on "investment opportunities
in India"
Brigade Insight won a consolation prize in the House Journal competition
conducted by the Public Relations Society of India, Bangalore Chapter.
Considering that Brigade Insight is a corporate newsletter and not a house
journal for the staff, we are happy to have won this prize.
We warmly congratulate BEML NEWS, the bilingual
house journal, for winning the first prize. (The awards ceremony was conducted
at Hotel Ashok on 21 December '98).
