Rupee Nose Dives; Economy in Critical Condition The declining value of the rupee is having an apparent effect on the economy. It has lost 20 percent of its value in a six-month period, touching an all-time low of 65.56 rupees against $1. Experts believe 67 rupees against $1 is not far if things do not stabilize. The worst would be 70 rupees against $1. This rupee collapse has dashed all hopes for the Indian Public Sector Undertakings (PSU) to rake in an estimated $6 billion from the stake sales that had been expected to help bring down the current account deficit.

From WPI Consulting
Illuminating the value of technical research
On behalf of a commodity producer organization, WPI evaluated the outputs from a project that featured a $5 million investment into technical research over multiple years. WPI’s team captured the results of this extensive effort and synthesized them for presentation to the organization’s governing board; among the findings uncovered and presented for the first time was the development of genomic traits proven, via rigorous testing, to provide crop yield advantages of 50 percent or more to U.S. farmers in times of drought. Capturing measurable results from long-term efforts can be challenging. Educating clients on the dynamics of success measurement when quantifiable results are not readily available requires deep client-consultant collaboration and an ability to consider both near- and long-term client aspirations with market/policy dynamics – attributes that WPI brings to every consulting engagement.
