In today's briefing:

2.  Can you give a strong reason for lower indirect taxes?

3.  A very good article on demand management in marketing.  Worth a read.

5.  How many management graduates are produced in India per annum?

6.  Some good figures about top performing and worst performing MNCs in India.

8.  A tidbit about biodiversity and its loss.

9.  Reliance group's ambitious forays into unchartered territories.

10.  Professors can be entrepreneurs now.  This can enhance the worth of our management education institutes now.

14.  FDI norms are set for relaxation.
