3. Mr.Suresh Bhonsle is treasury head in India of a multi-national bank. In his individual capacity he is an investor of stocks. Over the years he has built up a robust portfolio by investing in stocks of companies of various sectors. In Airlines industry he has investment in 1000 shares in Indigo ( InterGlobe Aviation Ltd.). The sector got badly hit during Covid 19. Mr. Bhonsle (being MBA finance from NMIMS and FRM and treasury head of a bank) goes through the financial statement of the company thoroughly. He notes, as a result of Covid Pandemic - Indigo suffered a net loss of Rs.58298 million during the financial year 2020-21 of which around 9% (Rs 5230 million) is attributable to foreign exchange loss. He further notes that the effect of exchange rate change (loss) on cash and cash equivalents held in foreign currency is Rs.177.28 million. ‘Notes on accounts’ further reveals that there is considerable foreign currency outgo resulting from loan repayment. The profit/ loss arises mainly on exchange difference in repayment of foreign currency loan. Despite foreign currency transaction exposure there does not seem to be in place proper ‘hedging’ of currency risk. Currency risk can be hedged using forward contract with a multinational bank at the same future rate prevailing in the market. Alternatively, the company can deploy money market hedge. Among other loan repayments as per various schedules, suppose indigo has to pay Rs. 5 million (INR) at the yearend 2020-21 without hedging taking spot rate as USD 1 = 76 (or 1 INR= $0.0131). The market condition in 2020-21 was as under-

Indian 1 year T-bill rate 5.50% per annum

U.S 1 year bond yield 1.00%

Established a decade ago, it is now a well-known brand, but faces sever competition from the crowded market of the coaching space. The quality of the students passing out are well known and many candidates are able to crack the JEE and medical exams. However, in the last couple of years, the company has tried to expand using the franchise model. This was possibly the best model available. But with tremendous amount of competition happening online and offline, the pricing model of the academy has changed. The fees for the course are on the brochure but is charged variably. There are no standardizations followed. Many of the franchisee’s charge whatever they want to, essentially to maintain a minimum threshold of students flowing into the organisation. Sometimes the centre heads of the franchise, encourage existing students to bring in new candidates, there by incentivizing them. Some of the hard negotiators are able to settle down at a lower price point that what others are paying. In many cases, students were allowed just with a token money with more than the usual EMIs. Everything seems to be as per the flexibility of the centre managers. While some of the franchises are happy, others are not. The location of the centre, number of enrolments drive the pricing.
