Hi Donald,

Thanks for your constant prodding to have a structured Management Quality and Business Quality worksheet for the businesses where we have worked seriously - it has been a tough task as I really struggled when I first started and used to keep procrastinating it but finally with your help on 2-3 companies, I have been able to put down my thoughts. And this exercise has been really helpful and I would strongly recommend it to everyone.

Here is my attempt for MPS - MPS_MQ_Insights.pdf (1.2 MB)

Views invited.

Came across this article on Mint on 'Why E-commerce companies prefer advertising in print media' -

http://www.livemint.com/Opinion/FxIiMl8ogX822gHkei6oVI/Why-ecommerce-firms-advertise-offline.html

It's an interesting read as it helps understand behavioral patterns of people reading newspapers and why advertisers prefer advertising in newspapers.

Thanks Donald and team for a detailed Q&A.
The discussion provides a lot of insight into management thinking. I did have a chance to speak to speak to Nishith during AGM and he is very consistent in his thoughts/plan which is evident from the Q&A.

It has been my core holding since more than a year.

Regards,
Raj
