Issue 85 | Pages 1– 14 January 2014- New Year Edition

Dear readers,

The year 2014 is special for all of us at MaGC. Not because of

the fact that we are entering into a new year hoping to bring

more joy, peace adn harmony in our professional and personal

lives, but because 2014 brings about the transition from NCRCL

to MaGC.

The New Year issue of Consultants' Corner has been compiled

around this transition. This issue is a recap of all the things we at

NCRCL have been upto in 2013 in pictures and a glimpse into

what to expect in the coming year. We hope to kindle sweet

nostalgic memories as you browse through the pages. We wish

all MaGCites a MaGnificent new year 2014.

As always we solicit your valuable feedback on Consultants' Cor-

ner and your invaluable contribution in the form of interesting

articles in 2014 as well.

Till now we have been able to develop models such as 3PT™, LAMP™,

AEM™, ATA™ based on internal research and use the same for the benefit

of our clients.

Everything changes; you have already changed and aged since you started

reading this column a few seconds ago. MaGC™ (pronounced mag-see) I

feel is more representative of the work we do. We do work broadly in the

areas relating to management and governance. From another perspective

these two words respectively seem to represent the private and the govern-

ment/development sector. And so it is – MaGC™!

One of our friends reacted “this name for your company is nice it seems like

„magic‟ ”, and I shot back saying „yes it is magic without “I” – the ego! I am

sure with humility, hard work, commitment combined without ego MaGC™

is bound to do the magic!

It is said that a good word inspires you to do good things, and the good

things you do generate goodwill, and the goodwill gets you good fortune. I

am sure MaGC™ is fortunate not only in terms of the excellent team that

works with all the said positive qualities, but a set of excellent clients across

sectors and continents who are committed to our advice and recommenda-

tions.

With renewed energy and knowledge (yellow), with potential and possibili-

ties (black) represented by the thematic colours of MaGC™ I am sure Team

MaGC™ is bound to create magic (without the „I”)!

Management and Governance Consulting Private Limited MaGC™

(formerly NCRCL®) took its first steps in the year 1999 and has grown by

leaps and bounds the past decade in the area of management consultancy.

The Company has made its presence felt even in countries outside India in

Middle East, Far East, and Africa.

The focus of our consultancy assignments has been on diverse areas of

strategy, governance, management, finance, accounting and information

technology. We fly high both in the Indian and International arena and enjoy

a large group of clientele in public and private sectors including Govern-

ment, Corporate, Education, Banking and NGOs. As consultants, we be-

lieve in commitment to the assignment through a variety of interventions

that are appropriate, timely, human sensitive, technology oriented and value

directed for the happiness of our clients.

MaGC™ owes its success to its team comprising of highly qualified and

trained professionals excelling in their field of specialization. Excellence

according to us is a product of education and experience that is fine-tuned

through research and implementation. “Learning” is a daily routine for

the MaGC™ team. MaGC™ also networks with independent specialists and

associate organizations for both professional and functional areas to fulfill

the demands of the changing market and to meet the various aspects of the

client requirements.

MaGC™ has been working hard to develop exclusive intellectual property in

the areas of Management Consultancy.
