Singapore's Image as Gateway to Global Business Boosted by Recent International rankings
Singapore's ranking among the top five economies in the world for competitiveness and business is likely to boost its image as the leading hub for conducting global business activities
Singapore, Friday, October 01, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- An analysis by SingaporeSetup.com of various international ranking reports released in 2010 shows that Singapore has consistently earned a top spot in all such reports reaffirming the country's role as a key business hub in Asia and beyond. This stellar performance in various rankings is likely to reinforce the confidence of foreign investors who may be planning to set up a company in Singapore and leverage on various business benefits the country has to offer, predicts www.SingaporeSetup.com.
Ever since the World Bank's '2010 Ease of Doing Business Report' declared Singapore as the 'World's Easiest Place to do Business', the country has been on a roll in various business rankings and emerging as a preeminent business destination not only in Asia but the entire world.
According to Ms. Catherine Lee, a senior editorial board member of the Singapore incorporation web portal SingaporeSetup.com, "Singapore's splendid performance in recent international rankings demonstrates the nation's excellence as compared to over 100 major economies of the world. Rankings are a critical and unique tool for understanding the business dynamism of a country. In a way, rankings promote entrepreneurship as they help identify disparities between jurisdictions and aid in making an informed choice on the best business jurisdiction for foreign investment and business expansion".
The IMD World Competitiveness Yearbook named Singapore as the 'Most Competitive Economy' this year while the World Economic Forum revealed that Singapore's economy is the 'Most Open to Trade' among 125 economies worldwide. Canadian think-tank Fraser Institute and US based Heritage Foundation consider Singapore as the second freest economy in the world. French global credit insurer Coface, named Singapore as the least risky place for business in Southeast Asia. Singapore has also been consistently lauded for its labor force. BERI's 'Labor Force Evaluation Measure' has ranked Singapore's labor's force as #1 in the world for over a decade. Singapore has also emerged as a top scorer for offering the best quality of life in Asia in surveys conducted by Mercer and ECA International. Gallup's recently published 'Potential Net Migration Index' indicates that Singapore is the world's most desirable immigration hot-spot.
Further analysis of the country reports unveils that Singapore has been a top performer in most parameters including tax environment, Intellectual Property protection regime, labor market efficiency, financial market sophistication, technological readiness, government efficiency, quality of infrastructure, trade regulations, ease of business setup, regulatory environment, and quality of life.
"As the Singapore brand gains global recognition, more foreign businesses are keen to explore how to setup a business presence in Singapore. Having emerged as the best country to work, live, and play Singapore is brimming with business opportunities and there is a strong likelihood of a spike in the number of Singapore company registrations in the months to come", added Ms. Lee.

TERI-North America Organizes the 2nd US-India Energy Partnership Summit 2010: Technologies & Policies for Energy Security
Washington DC, United States, Thursday, September 30, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Ahead of President Barack Obama visit to India, the high-level summit deliberates on strategies and activities for Indo-U.S. collaboration on energy security as they move towards low carbon economic pathways
Carrying the momentum of unprecedented cooperation and providing the perfect setting for deliberation on strategies and activities for Indo-U.S. collaboration towards energy security ahead of the much awaited visit of President Barack Obama to India in November, The Energy and Resources Institute (TERI) North America organized the second annual U.S.-India Energy Partnership Summit. The summit themed "Technologies and Policies for Energy Security" was co-convened by Yale University with support from the US-INDIA Business Council (USIBC) and drew over 200 participants from government, industry, think tanks, academia, banks and the finance sector.
India and the United States share a large capital in science and technology manpower, and in innovation and enhancing it to tackle the challenges of energy security was the focus of experts and policymakers from the two countries at the high-level conference. The Summit provided the perfect setting for deliberations on strategies and activities for Indo-U.S. collaboration towards energy security for both countries, as they move towards low carbon economic pathways.
US Energy Secretary Dr Steven Chu in his video message said "the partnership between the two countries to advance clean energy drawing on India's world class science resources that was developed during Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's visit to the US last year will be given high priority during President Obama's visit to India in November." Dr Chu, a Nobel Prize winner in physics, asserted that India and the US faced some similar challenges with growing energy consumption and dependence on imported energy resources.
Dr RK. Pachauri, Director General TERI and President TERI-North America, in his address said that it was imperative for India and the US to pool their resources - the skills, technological capabilities and innovativeness - to develop policies and solutions to the challenges of energy security. "President Obama's November visit will be important for ramping up the cooperation to deal with the problems that both countries face and this summit would help develop a roadmap for policymakers who will be setting the agenda for the visit". He further added that to boost cooperation between the two countries in the energy field, his organization had set up TERI North America. Dr Pachauri is also Director at the Yale Climate & Energy Institute and Chairman of Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, on whose behalf he received the Nobel Peace Prize in 2007.
Richard C Levin, President of Yale University, in his address said that "institutions have to play a constructive role in dealing with energy security and climate change issues." He cited the efforts of Yale in joint research in forestry, and curriculum and academic exchanges.
John Holdren, the Assistant to the US President for Science and Technology, outlined the longstanding cooperation between the two countries in energy and environment and said that during Obama's visit clean energy technology and finance agreements will take the joint endeavors to a higher level.
Representative Ed Markey, Chairman of the House of Representatives Select Committee on Energy Independence and Global Warming, referred to the recording this week of the hottest day on record in Los Angeles that underscored the tremendous surges in weather extremes in 2010 caused by heat-trapping pollution. He said that "India and the US share the same resources - a research and development infrastructure and a tradition of innovation - that will help find ways to deal with the problem." He cited the telecommunication revolution where the US went from "black rotary dial telephones to Blackberries" in less than a decade. "The revolution came about because of policy changes and similarly the catalyst for a revolution in the energy field will be policy changes" he added.
Representative Brian Baird said that the US was strongly committed to a 50-50 partnership with India in the energy field. "We need every smart brain working" on energy issues."
Todd Stern, the US Special Envoy for Climate Change, said that India and the US were robust democracies that share an entrepreneurial spirit, innovation and people capable of working on science and technology research. He said that the PACE program of cooperation in clean energy launched last year will get a US government funding of $50 million over the next five years.
Christopher Flavin, the President of the World Watch Institute, said that strategically for India and the US the developments in China were important as it was rapidly developing innovations and pricing in alternative energy sources. "While democracies have some inefficiencies, both of us have to overcome this - US and India have to learn to work together."
Several of the experts talked of the importance of the private sector in finding solutions to energy problems and in fostering cooperation between the two countries. Rep. Markey said that the private sector has more resources and has to drive the change in the energy sector. Rep. Baird said that while solutions are unlikely to come from the Congress, the private sector can provide solutions.
Mr. Clay Nesler, the Vice President for Global Energy and Sustainability for Johnson Controls, cited the project undertaken with the Clinton Climate Initiative to retrofit a mall in Mumbai to make it more energy efficient and as a model for others in India.
Ms Naina Lal Kidwai, the Group General Manager and Country Head for HSBC, said that India builds the equivalent of one Chicago every year and, therefore, it was important to design them to be energy efficient from the start.
Ms Meera Shankar Ambassador of the Republic of India to the US said that among the areas for cooperation between India and the US was creating a joint research center with an investment of $25 million to $30 million each to develop smart grids, new energy sources and other technologies in clean energy, mapping and development of shale gas and innovating in the regulatory areas like building.
Soon after the U.S.-India Energy Summit in 2009, President Obama and Prime Minister Singh signed a memorandum of understanding that included a U.S.-India Green Partnership, and recently, in June 2010, the two countries held the inaugural round of the U.S.-India Strategic Dialogue. This year's Summit, again like last year's Summit comes at a crucial time when both countries are looking forward to ink new cooperation agreements as they face unique yet related challenges, and there are clear areas of synergy that can be identified for bilateral cooperation.

NIKON Unveils D3100, Beauty with Intelligence
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Thursday, September 30, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- - Advanced New Guide Mode for 'easy' shoots, help create beautiful & better pictures
- An entry level D-SLR camera superseding D3000
- Nikon claims No. 1 position in D-SLR segment with 55% market share
Nikon India, the 100% subsidiary of Nikon Corporation the leaders in imaging technology today announced the launch of DX format D3100. The camera is equipped with a new CMOS image sensor developed by Nikon and a new image-processing engine that enable capture of high-definition images exhibiting superior image quality, and a New Guide mode that allows users to capture images just as they intended.
On the occasion, Mr. Hiroshi Takashina, Managing Director, Nikon India, said, "Nikon's market share in D-SLRs today stands at 55%. D3100 is another remarkable piece of innovative technology meant for all photo lovers. It is also the lightest and smallest camera amongst Nikon D-SLR collection. It offers high-quality image to users with its advanced New Guide mode helping achieve desired results. We are certain a new entry level camera will supplement Nikon's bouquet of offerings."
The number of people advancing from a compact digital camera to a digital-SLR camera for better quality images and a more authentic photography experience has been increasing in recent years. However, many have indicated that digital-SLR cameras are difficult to master. To respond to this concern of users advancing to a digital-SLR camera, Nikon began equipping its entry level digital-SLR cameras with a New Guide mode that displays instructions for the most basic camera operations for shooting, image playback and editing and the application of camera settings, in the camera monitor. The first camera to be equipped with Guide mode was the Nikon D3000 released in August 2009. This function has proven to be very popular with users.
A new DX-format CMOS image sensor developed by Nikon and the new image-processing engine, EXPEED 2, have been adopted for the new D3100, enabling capture of images exhibiting excellent image quality and definition. The D3100 has also inherited New Guide mode from the D3000, with the addition of more options and assist images that make the camera easier to understand and operate. The D3100 is also equipped with a live view function that allows the user to frame images in the monitor, and the D-Movie function that provides support for high-definition movie recording. While the D3100 offers authentic digital-SLR camera performance, it is also an extremely lightweight digital-SLR camera from which even beginners can expect beautiful images that accurately reflect their shooting intent.
The D3100 body shall be available in the market at an MRP of Rs 27,250 and D3100 kit (with 18-55mm VR lens) at an MRP of Rs 32, 950.

New Delhi, Delhi, India, Thursday, September 30, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- - Advanced New Guide Mode for 'easy' shoots, help create beautiful & better pictures
- An entry level D-SLR camera superseding D3000
- Nikon claims No. 1 position in D-SLR segment with 55% market share
Nikon India, the 100% subsidiary of Nikon Corporation the leaders in imaging technology today announced the launch of DX format D3100. The camera is equipped with a new CMOS image sensor developed by Nikon and a new image-processing engine that enable capture of high-definition images exhibiting superior image quality, and a New Guide mode that allows users to capture images just as they intended.
On the occasion, Mr. Hiroshi Takashina, Managing Director, Nikon India, said, "Nikon's market share in D-SLRs today stands at 55%. D3100 is another remarkable piece of innovative technology meant for all photo lovers. It is also the lightest and smallest camera amongst Nikon D-SLR collection. It offers high-quality image to users with its advanced New Guide mode helping achieve desired results. We are certain a new entry level camera will supplement Nikon's bouquet of offerings."
The number of people advancing from a compact digital camera to a digital-SLR camera for better quality images and a more authentic photography experience has been increasing in recent years. However, many have indicated that digital-SLR cameras are difficult to master. To respond to this concern of users advancing to a digital-SLR camera, Nikon began equipping its entry level digital-SLR cameras with a New Guide mode that displays instructions for the most basic camera operations for shooting, image playback and editing and the application of camera settings, in the camera monitor. The first camera to be equipped with Guide mode was the Nikon D3000 released in August 2009. This function has proven to be very popular with users.
A new DX-format CMOS image sensor developed by Nikon and the new image-processing engine, EXPEED 2, have been adopted for the new D3100, enabling capture of images exhibiting excellent image quality and definition. The D3100 has also inherited New Guide mode from the D3000, with the addition of more options and assist images that make the camera easier to understand and operate. The D3100 is also equipped with a live view function that allows the user to frame images in the monitor, and the D-Movie function that provides support for high-definition movie recording. While the D3100 offers authentic digital-SLR camera performance, it is also an extremely lightweight digital-SLR camera from which even beginners can expect beautiful images that accurately reflect their shooting intent.
The D3100 body shall be available in the market at an MRP of Rs 27,250 and D3100 kit (with 18-55mm VR lens) at an MRP of Rs 32, 950.

"Nadal is like Evander Holyfield, the Ultimate Fitness Guy". John McEnroe
Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, Thursday, September 30, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Legendary boxer Evander 'The Real Deal' Holyfield, who is the only man ever to win the World Heavyweight Title Five Times (Muhammid Ali won it thrice) and the only man ever to defeat Mike Tyson twice, is set to 'knock-out' the Indian fitness industry by creating revolutionary, all-encompassing 360 degree fitness concepts and products in India.
Holyfield's concept will include a chain of high-performance designer gyms, innovative corporate sport-entertainment concepts like white collar boxing, fitness mobile phone applications, boxing academies and health cafes. "Over the next 36 months we anticipate rolling out at least 3 flagship Evander Holyfield Gyms, 6 of the smaller Holyfield Corners and 4 Holyfield Boxing Academies across India, generating annual top line revenues of between $12million to $15million" says Darpan Sanghvi, MD Sanghvi Brands, which has the exclusive partnership with Evander Holyfield to develop Holyfield Gyms, Fitness & Sports products and concepts in India.
'With a population so young, it is extremely exciting for me to be able to share my expertise and experience in fitness and make a difference in the lives of this young generation," said Holyfield "The idea is to create a holistic fitness experience which starts at the Gyms and continues into one's home and work place."
Holyfield further adds "Role models are extremely important for young guys. I have heard so much about Bollywood and the great movies made in India and that many Indians look for role models there. I have also been told that Salman Khan is the man who made fitness happen in Bollywood - well when I am in India next, I would love to do some weights with this man".
The fitness experience will revolve around high-performance Designer Gyms that will be designed by Evander. Set in a cutting edge design environment, Holyfield will create exclusive high performance fitness programs and train the instructors and staff at the Gym who will then impart these workout programs to members.
The World Champ also will inspire the Gym members by interacting personally with them via video conferencing over giant screens and occasional personal visits to the Gyms. These Gyms will be created in multiple formats, ranging from flagship 20,000 square feet complete Evander Holyfield Gyms to the smaller 4,000 square feet Holyfield Corners. The Gyms will be located inside Five Star Hotels, high end residential projects, upscale Malls and Corporate Offices.
To take the fitness experience into the offices, Evander is creating the Holyfield White Collar Boxing Club. A corporate Sport - Entertainment concept whereby managers and executives will have the opportunity to get trained in boxing at their offices and then make the fitness experience fun and competitive by taking on rivals and colleagues from other companies in 'Black Tie Fight Nights'. Boardroom duels will now be settled in the Ring!
To ensure the fitness journey continues beyond the Gym and into every aspect of an individual's daily life, Evander is creating experiential mobile phone applications that will measure a users' daily physical activity and give corresponding recommendations on diet and fitness activities for the day. The application will also feature games that promote physical activity by giving users an opportunity to recreate the actual boxing sequences of the different rounds of Evander's legendary victories over boxers like Mike Tyson, Riddick Bowe, George Foreman and many others.
To promote the sport of Boxing, Evander will also create boxing academies across India. The academies will be present within the Evander Holyfield Gyms, in stand-alone formats and in schools for children. Just like the Gyms, the training programs and training for the coaches will come from Evander himself.
Mr. Sanghvi further adds, "In this crowded fitness space, the greatest differentiator and value addition we can give to the Indian consumer would be a holistic fitness experience and exclusive work-out programs created by one of the greatest Fitness & Sport personalities of all times. At the age of 47, Evander is as fit as he ever has been and serves as a perfect role model for fitness and longevity"
"By far, Evander Holyfield has been at the forefront of physical fitness in the boxing game since his days as an Olympian," says Ben Sturner, CEO Leverage Agency, which is the marketing Agent for Evander Holyfield and which negotiated and executed Evander's entry into India. "Evander Holyfield is an iconic global brand, who is loved and adored around the world. The Evander Holyfield Gyms are a natural extension of Evander's dedication to physical fitness throughout his life. And the expansion of his brand into a rapidly developing India market is a natural fit, as this is an indicator of more to come."

BWI: BGS Global Hospitals Performs Heart Surgeries without Cutting Chest Bone

BGS Global Hospitals Performs Heart Surgeries without Cutting Chest Bone
Bangalore, Karnataka, India, Wednesday, September 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- . Key benefits to the patient: Surgery with an incision of 2-3 inches only, no cutting of chest bones, lower risk of infection, patient can start walking the day after the surgery and go back home in 4-5 days in most cases
. The team successfully performed complex mitral valve repair through minimally invasive cardiac surgery , pioneers in Karnataka
. The team has also performed multi vessel minimal invasive coronary artery bypass grafts with excellent results
BGS Global Hospitals, Bangalore, part of the Global Hospitals Group, a leading tertiary care chain of Hospitals in India, launched the Centre for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery today. The Centre was inaugurated by Dr. Srinath, MLC and Cine Actor.
Dr. Anand Subrahmanyam, Cardiothoracic Surgeon, BGS Global Hospitals said, "BGS Global Hospitals has successfully performed complex cardiac procedures including mitral valve repairs through minimal access surgery."
"Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is among the very recent advances in heart surgery and is done through a small 2-3 inch incision without cutting chest bones just below the left nipple in men and below the breast tissue in women. The space between the ribs is spread with special 'spreaders' and the internal mammary artery needed for the bypass harvested through this small opening. The bypass is done, using "Beating Heart Technique". Multiple bypasses, total arterial Bypass, Valve replacement and valve repair surgeries have been performed successfully with excellent results at the Hospital by an expert team of Cardiothoracic surgeons. The chest is closed with simple sutures (no wires).
The advantages are -
. No chest bones are cut - preserved integrity of the chest
. 2-3 inch incision
. Minimized blood loss
. Reduced operative trauma
. Minimal risk of infection
. Greatly reduced post operative pain
. Rapid recovery, can go home within 4 days after surgery
. Back to work in 10-15 days
. Excellent cosmetic results with a small hidden scar
All this, without compromising the result or safety of the surgery!"
Dr. Bharat Dubey added, "Multi vessel coronary artery bypass grafting using off-pump technique through minimal access and endoscopic vein harvesting minimizes scarring and healing problems of the legs especially in diabetic patients. In young women, the incision is made in the fold of the breast tissue and this leaves a very small insignificant almost invisible scar giving excellent cosmetic results. Incision made during the minimally invasive cardiac surgery is about 3 inches in length, as opposed to a traditional bypass surgery in which the incision is about 8-9 inches in length."
A Case - Minimally invasive Complex Mitral Valve repair
14 year old Pundalik Hanumantha came to the Hospital complaining of breathlessness and palpitation, which was very pronounced since 6 months. An ECG, chest X-ray and 2D echocardiography revealed that he had a defective leaking mitral valve. As he was young, the preferred choice of treatment was repairing his valve rather than replacement. Minimally invasive surgery was performed; the leak was repaired using special suturing techniques and supplementing the existing structure with a mitral valve ring. He was walking on the second day of surgery and went home in 5 days.
Valve repair has an advantage over replacement with a prosthetic valve as the patient is free from taking anticoagulant medicines lifelong and its side effects.
Especially in child bearing women, anticoagulant medicines have adverse effects which may lead to increased bleeding during pregnancy and malformation of foetus. It is also proven that in the long term the left ventricle function is better preserved with repair.
Global Hospitals Group - Many firsts to its credit
Dr. K. Ravindranath, Chairman and Managing Director, Global Hospitals Group stated, "The Global Hospitals Group has many firsts to its credit including the first successful heart transplant in Andhra Pradesh. The group routinely performs minimally invasive cardiac surgeries at all its centres. Perhaps it has performed one of the highest numbers of minimally invasive cardiac surgeries in the country."
"90% percent of patients who require cardiac surgery in our country are the bread winners. There is a rise in coronary heart diseases among the population from 4 per cent to 11 per cent in India, thereby increasing the frequency of bypass surgeries. Minimally invasive cardiac surgery is a new way to get these bread winners back to work within 10 to 15 days of the surgery, which couldn't have been imagined just 1-2 years back. Global Hospitals Group is one of the leading healthcare service providers in the country. The Group has been offering specialized tertiary care with state of art infrastructure, modern technology, trained specialists and with exemplary standards of medical excellence and ethics."
BGS Global Hospitals - Centre for Minimally Invasive Cardiac Surgery
The Institute of Cardiac Sciences of the 500 bedded BGS global hospitals provides an entire gamut of cardiology services to the patients. Well qualified teams, state-of-the-art Cathlab and Intensive Care units provide unmatched standards of medical care. The expert team comprises of cardiologists, paediatric cardiologists, cardiothoracic surgeons, cardiac anaesthetists, cardiac intensivists, perfusionists, technicians and paramedical staff. The team of cardiothoracic surgeons, Dr. Bharat Dubey, Dr. Anand Subramaniam and Dr. S. P Manoj have a combined experience of performing over 10,000 surgeries from neonates to geriatrics.
Dr. N. K. Venkataramana, Vice-Chairman, BGS Global Hospitals said, "We, the team at BGS Global Hospitals, in the pursuit of excellence, is committed to provide best available care to patients, through innovative treatments, advanced facilities in a patient centric atmosphere, because, we believe that there is more to life."

Bry-Air Preffered Choice of Leading Lithium Battery Manufacturers
Discerning Lithium Battery Manufacturers like Shenzhen BYD, E-One Moli, opt for Bry-Air Dehumidifiers for their Dry Rooms
New Delhi, Delhi, India, Wednesday, September 29, 2010 -- (Business Wire India) -- Bry-Air dehumidifiers have become the preferred choice of world's leading Lithium Battery Manufacturers. Discerning Lithium Battery manufacturers like Shenzhen BYD,E-One Moli, Pulead Technology, opt for Bry-Air for its capability to provide large customised engineered systems designed to provide very large quantities of dry air, (over 30000 cmh) at ultra low humidity levels of -90 º C dewpoint.
Today, Bry-Air has almost 50 large engineered dehumidification systems and many small ones for maintaining humidity levels in Dry Rooms for various Lithium Battery Manufacturers. The demand for Lithium Battery market has grown by leaps and bounds and with it the number of Lithium Battery manufacturers. Lithium Battery manufacturers demands very stringent conditions to be maintained.
Challenges of Lithium-Battery Production
While processing Lithium Battery it is important to maintain conditioned environment in Dry Rooms. The more moisture, poorer the quality, lower discharge capacity, performance and shelf life of batteries. Safety in production areas is also endangered.
A relative humidity of less than 1% is required to be maintained in dry room for lithium battery manufacturing. Another problem encountered while processing Lithium Battery is the generation of hydrofluoric acid. Hydrofluoric Acid is carried into the return air (4-6 PPM) damaging the dehumidification media and resulting in 30-50% weight loss in dehumidification capability. However the heart of the Bry-Air dehumidifier is the EcoDry Desiccant Honeycomb Rotor which has exceedingly high tolerance to hydrogen fluoride and does not deteriorate easily and hence not require to be replaced frequently. The guaranteed minimum life of EcoDry Rotors is 5 years as compared to the general life span of media which is 12-18 months.
