Hi Sunil - Thanks for heeding to the request. It's working smooth now. Just in time for a crazy Saturday of too many results

Concall Details in brief:
Expect to sell in FY16 - 6.2 lac RE motorcycles.
New model to be introduced in FY16 and another one in FY17.`
Total 9 lac bike capacity by FY18. This includes availability for the year and not end of the year.
Major overhaul in the design of the retail stores. Total 500 dealer/stores this year target and 5 stores/dealer average each month next year.
More emphasis on"Soft-Sell" than "Hard-Sell".
Infra and hardware set up for the process. Huge benefit accruing because of this new design format. Able to attract huge footfalls when compared to "Traditional" Stores and also enabling to convert to Sales thereby increasing the orders!!!
FY17 bike selling target between 6.2 and 9 lacs. i believe they should do 40% volume growth.
Vallam Vadagal plant expansion going on. Oragadam will fuel the next leg of growth along with Vallam Vadagal. Tirivattiyur will be providing the exisiting functionalitites as is.
60% of sales happening from Top 20 cities rest 40% from others.
There has been huge traction in the Tier 2 and 3 citites. Small towns which were selling 10-15 bikes are now seeing sales of 20-30. Hopeful of this growth going on...
10% of sales from first time users and youngsters. This was 1-3% few years before. This when converted is a massive growth. 3% on 3 lac sales in Fy14 comes aroung to 9K. This has moved to 40K-45K which is 10% of 4.5 lac this year.
Huge work going on in the international market. US will have the first roll out from Wisconsin in H1 FY16. 2nd store opened in London. Madrid and paris also have RE stores now. Increased store count in colombia. Also entered Indonesia.
Good growth in HeavyDuty vehicles. Light and Medium duty CV also recorded growth.
Raw material cost has come down for RE especially since the falling commodity cost made to good use. Not so much when for VECV when compared to RE.
Very much hopeful of replicating the success of India in developing markets like Latin American and South east Asian since there is a huge scope and huge market.
- There can be success like india, some markets may be not so successful and some markets may be better. The actual turnout will be clear after 5 years and all steps being taken to ensure success.
Export markets segmented to - developing nations and matured/developed markets.
There is a huge gap between 250-750 cc market and in the range of 3-4k dollar. Very less options available in this market and the company trying to fill this.
The waiting period is in the range of 1-4 months depending on the motorcycle models and has been reduced from 9 months in the peak time few years before and this is what company had also intended.
Overall liked the honesty, confidence of the management where they were even open in saying that there can be failures in some market , success in some markets like in India and there could be even better success than India in some markets.
FY16 will be a consolidation year. They want to increase the production to 50-52K per month average and will not be a straight line growth but skewed more to the end of the year with higher production. They want to stabilize the production/procurement/supply/vendor management first and then take it higher. Capex required will be clear in Feb annual meeting.

Good suggestion.
Like many places, at VP we like to give the ownership of good workable suggestion to the idea initiator.
a) Coming up with a reasonable idea initiation template where you are satisfied that there are multiple checks and balances - your job
b) You can then take the help of some VP Top Contributors to refine and present to Core Team
c) Meanwhile @pratyushmittal - please check feasibility of a pop-up/check mechanism that doesn't accept the initial post unless it has this filled-up template, or some other work-around of achieving the same

On approach from other Members: Some Patterns Newbies should watch out for
In a forum like VP, it is natural for members to reach out to each other. We admire the work of someone, we find complimentary strengths in each other, we want to seek advise on how to grow how to move to the next level, when we cant seem to be making much headway despite persistent efforts, and so on. Most of us have grown by seeking out each other!
So it is quite okay to have an open mind to approach from other members at the first level.
But post that, at the second level it is important to watch out for a few things:
a) Is it a genuine two-way interaction, sharing and learning?
b) If it is a phone interaction - how much time is spent on learning about you, your progress over the years, what are your big insights vs how much time is spent on the particular idea?
c) On the idea again - how much is a push down the throat, how much is genuine listening?
d) Does the guy talk too much - like 80% of the conversation is one-way?
e) How much of names dropping so and so HNI has invested? Insider knowledge?

I had this thought pass by my mind sometime back that what if somebody misuses this forum to promote their own agendas 'coz of popularity, credibility and reputation of this forum. That looks like has become a reality.
Any checks etc.,. that need to be put in place should be practically implementable. I don't have any such solution or check in mind at this point in time. But had below thought which might atleast make the quality of the thread being initiated better and may also provide more info to the readers.
We already have guidelines in place to initiate a thread. What I would like to suggest/propose is that a template should be created for all new stock stories to be initiated. Whenever a member wants to initiate a new stock story this template should pop up and it will be mandatory for the initiator to fill up this template. Some fields can be made optional in this template and some mandatory. The template for example can contain basic fields like current price, market cap, summary about company's business, etc.,., other fields like some financials & ratios etc.,. of the company (present and historical), risks/threats to the business (mandatory field with minimum say 3 or 5 risks to be stated). The more detailed the template more better it would be. For new and basic users all or more fileds can be mandatory and for seniors no such restrictions. I will try to give it a shot, pen my thoughts on this and share it later.
Some benefits of a template like above that I can think of are:
1. Lazy folks may be deterred 'coz of detailed template to initiate a thread just for the sake of it.
2. Any new story would give structured and more information especially to amateurs and new members who are not necessarily equipped to understand stock stories or don't have the discipline to not to follow each and every idea.
3. Template like this would help new members to improve their thought process in terms of what points need to be considered or stated as bare minimum and infact be an education for them.
4. Quality of stories initiated may improve.
5. Pushing hidden agendas behind glamorous words may become a bit difficult as template may bring in some objectivity.
I think it is a good thing to think about any ideas/suggestions etc.,. on the lines of bringing in more accountability, transparency, etc.,. to ensure that brand VP doesn't get diluted and the reputation and credibility of the forum is maintained and enhanced. I am happy to see this thread being initiated by admin.
Regards.
