Tata group`s five chairmen since 1868


Cyrus Mistry to succeed Ratan Tata
The next chairman of India`s venerable salt-to-software conglomerate Tata Group will be an insider and a family member by marriage.

India`s biggest corporate house had mounted a global search that lasted more than a year for a successor to Chairman Ratan Tata, but ended up tapping Cyrus Mistry, whose father is the biggest shareholder in the Tata Sons holding company.

Mistry, 43, was named deputy chairman of Tata Sons and will succeed Ratan Tata when he retires in December 2012 at the helm of a sprawling conglomerate that generates two-thirds of its USD 83 billion in revenue from overseas.

Mistry is the younger son of Pallonji Mistry, who with a stake of 18 percent is the single largest shareholder of Tata Sons, and has been a director of Tata Sons since 2006. The future chairman`s sister is married to Ratan Tata`s half-brother Noel Tata, who was also a candidate to be Tata chairman.

An engineer by training, Mistry is managing director of Shapoorji Pallonji Group, a major construction firm that has been in business for 147 years, and does not have a high public profile.

Pallonji Mistry, also a member of south Mumbai`s Parsi community, owns about 18 percent of the group, and ranks 9th on the last Forbes India rich list, with a fortune estimated at USD 7.6 billion.

A Better Tool for Downloading Videos from the Internet


There are basically two categories of tools that let you download videos from the Internet. The first category consists of web apps, Zamzar for example, that save a copy of the video on to their own servers and then send you a direct link to download that copy. Then there are desktop-based tools that download videos clips from the video hosting site directly to your computer and also convert it into the required format.

The Best Tool to Sync Outlook and Google Contacts


If you are using Gmail with Microsoft Outlook, you know how cumbersome it is to keep your Outlook address book in sync with Google Contacts. You add a new contact in Outlook but it won’t magically appear in Gmail. The same is true when you edit a contact’s details in Google Contacts, your Outlook will continue to have the old data.
Would you therefore like to save yourself from this never-ending hassle of maintaining contacts data at two places and have a unified address book.

Sync your Gmail Address Book and Outlook Contacts

Google offers a free Outlook plugin called Apps Sync to help keep your Outlook Contacts and Google Contacts in sync with each other but probably for business reasons, they have made this utility available only for premier Google Apps customers.
I wish Google could bring the Apps Sync utility to regular Gmail and non-premium Google Apps accounts but until that happens, you may want to give GOSyncMod a try. This is a standalone Window utility, not an Outlook plugin, that can help you easily sync your Outlook and Gmail address books.
Once you have installed the utility, just provide your Google Account credentials and choose any unique name for the profile field (say Outlook). You may sync both Gmail accounts and Google Apps for Gmail accounts.
Next choose the direction for synchronization. For instance, if you choose “Google to Outlook only,” it will fetch Google Contacts from the cloud into your Outlook address book while keeping the Gmail Address book intact. I kept this unselected to sync both ways.
In case of a conflict, you may either give priority to Gmail, Outlook or let the program prompt you (see next screenshot). One limitation is that it Go Sync cannot handle conflicts on its own and you’ll have to manually compare the conflicts and update the one that is old.

The other impressive thing about this utility is that is can even sync profile pictures of your contacts both ways – this is missing is most of the other synchronization tools that available for syncing Outlook and Gmail. Thank you BlogsDNA.

How to Check Multiple Gmail Accounts Automatically


If you have multiple email accounts on Gmail - say one for your personal emails and other for your business - you don’t have to log out of one email account to check the other mailbox.
Google, as most would probably know, allows multiple sign-in so you can easily log in to two or more Gmail accounts simultaneously inside the same browser. And this works with Google Apps accounts as well.
