From Guns n Roses shredding in Mumbai to Coldplay slaying it in Ahmedabad, India is grooving to a new and potentially massive business. In this episode of The Morning Brief, host Anirban Chowdhury speaks with Raghav Anand, Partner at EY-Parthenon, and Naman Pugalia, Chief Business Officer at BookMyShow, to decode India’s live entertainment boom. With global icons like Travis Scott, Dua Lipa, and Imagine Dragons lighting up Indian stages, the conversation explores the forces behind the concert economy’s 25% annual growth, rising disposable incomes, Gen Z’s craving for experience-first entertainment, and the digital ease of access fueling demand. What happens when 86% of a concert’s audience flies in from outside the host city? The episode unpacks the ripple effects from hotel bookings and ride-hailing surges to a redefined urban economy. But in a country where infrastructure still lags ambition, the spotlight shifts to BookMyShow’s transformation from ticketing platform to ecosystem builder through innovations in production, venue retrofitting, and audience readiness. As India eyes its own Coachella moment, the question remains: can the nation’s stages keep up with its global-sized fanbase?

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the Round 3 activity on LiveWire; interview invites and final decisions continue to roll out for this shortened application round; next week Chicago / Booth and Imperial Business School are scheduled to release final decisions. Graham noted the Clear Admit promotion, where for every new entry we receive on DecisionWire, that maps out a candidate's entire application journey, Clear Admit will donate $10 to the Forte Foundation. Graham highlighted the remainder of Application Overview events series that will be hosted this week on Tuesday (Berkeley / Haas, UVA / Darden, Washington / Foster, UNC / Kenan Flagler, and Georgia Tech / Scheller) and Wednesday (Columbia, Stanford, UPenn / Wharton, Yale SOM, and Texas / Austin). Signups for those events are here: https://bit.ly/appoverview25 Graham also mentioned an event on Thursday for London Business School's One Year MBA program. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/lbs1year Graham noted a deep-dive analysis article on MBA tech career placements for the most recent graduating classes. Not surprisingly, Big Tech placement has dropped off at most top MBA programs. Graham highlighted two Real Humans alumni spotlights, alums from Duke / Fuqua working at EY-Parthenon, and UCLA / Anderson working at Google. Finally, Graham noted the recently recorded podcast featuring the leader of career services at Georgetown / McDonough, talking about the triple jump - changing industries, functions and geographies. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry: This week's first MBA admissions candidate works in investment banking and is from Ghana. They have a 325 GRE score. This week's second MBA candidate is from Argentina and appears to have a very interesting profile, but their GRE score of 309 is going to be an issue. They plan to retake. We also think they should reconsider their school targeting. The final MBA candidate is deciding between Chicago / Booth and Michigan / Ross, with scholarship. This episode was recorded in Boston, USA and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

With the ratification earlier this week of the new 6-year agreement between dock workers and ports on the East and Gulf Coasts, it seems like we will have some labor peace that will last a while. Our guest discusses what that bit of certainty means to both shippers and carriers. Mobile robots in the warehouse—such as autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), goods-to-person systems, and automated storage and retrieval systems—have now been accepted as mature technologies. Susan Lacefield, executive editor of Supply Chain Xchange, joins us to talk about the industry acceptance of these technologies and to preview the latest issue of SCX that focuses on robotics and automation.Supply chains are among those industries where workers face a higher level of risk of injury, according to new research released by manufacturer Kuru. The study analyzed data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics to identify where supply chain jobs rank among jobs from other industries for the potential for on-the-job injuries.Supply Chain Xchange  also offers a podcast series called Supply Chain in the Fast Lane.  It is co-produced with the Council of Supply Chain Management Professionals. A series of ten episodes is now available on the "State of Logistics." The episodes provide in-depth looks into the current states of key transportation modes, such as trucking, rail, air, and ocean.

By Tom Loozen (Senior Partner, Telecommunications), Adrian Baschnonga (EY Global TMT Lead Analyst), and Sören Grabowski (EY-Parthenon Global TMT Leader) To thrive in the future, telcos must seek differentiators beyond network quality and adapt to changing ecosystems and market structures. In brief The growth outlook for telcos is solid but unspectacular, based on core connectivity and continuing cost management allied to reliance on network quality. Industry leaders foresee pervasive changes to the sector in five years' time, which today's defensive strategies are not equipped to address. Rethinking business models and differentiators, and building new employee propositions and ecosystem positions, are vital for success on the road to 2030. Telcos have reached an inflection point in their evolution. They are ever more focused on core connectivity and continue to drive new waves of organizational efficiency with the help of emerging technologies. However, industry ecosystems, stakeholder expectations and workforce needs are developing in new directions at pace. In this light, defensive strategies based on network quality and cost optimization may fall short of the more substantial transformation telcos need to achieve. EY interviewed more than 60 C-suite executives from over 50 telecoms operators to understand their views about organizational priorities alongside the current and future state of the sector. In this article, we explore insights emerging from our research, underlining the dichotomy that exists between defensive near-term strategies and more radical future sector dynamics, and recommending key actions that telcos can take to ensure they remain fit for the future. About the research Between September 2023 and February 2024, EY-Parthenon conducted face-to-face surveys of 63 senior business leaders in the telecommunications sector to understand their business imperatives. The questionnaire explored a number of themes, such as the industry operating environment, strategy North Stars, near-term business priorities and the telco world five years from now. Respondents represented 29 countries — including 75% from Europe, 8% from Americas, 9% from Asia-Pacific, and 8% from Middle East and Africa — and featured a range of leadership roles, led by CEOs (32%) and chief strategy or transformation officers (21%). To participate in the survey, respondents were required to be leaders of a telco business function or unit. Traditional growth drivers underpin a solid performance outlook Survey respondents have a largely positive view of sector growth: more than half foresee sector revenues and EBITDA growing by 3% or more over the next three years. They are also confident of their own performance relative to their peers, with three quarters expecting to outperform the market over the same period. Inflationary pricing escalators built into consumer subscriptions have been supportive in some markets, indicative of wider resilience where customer spending has held up well in spite of the cost-of-living crisis, as highlighted in the EY Decoding the digital home study. Looking ahead, two key drivers of profitable growth as cited by the management are: growth in the core connectivity business (67%) and margin development through additional cost reductions and efficiencies (60%). These twin forces score well ahead of adjacent market services or more innovative business models, with only one in three respondents highlighting growth beyond the core business or growth in platform, ecosystem or as-a-service business. That said, there are regional nuances at play: Asia-Pacific telcos are much more receptive to growth via platforms or ecosystems, cited four out of six telco leaders in the region. Telco market growth outlook This chart shows survey respondents' expectations of telecoms market development in their own footprint in the next three years.

In "Cash is King," he emphasizes how effective cash flow management, distinct from revenue generation, is vital for sustained business growth and resilience.

These strategies not only streamline financial processes but also fortify businesses against market uncertainties, ensuring robust financial health and agility. --- Crown Your Cash with Peter Kingma Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast and my guest today is Peter Kingma, the head of the Working Capital Practice for EY Parthenon in the Americas and author of Cash is King: Mastering Cash Flow Management with Peter Kingma. Peter, welcome to the show. Thank you, glad to be here. Yeah, well, I'm glad you're here because actually, believe it or not, we are well into over 200 episodes, but we never actually addressed the king, which is cash, which is a big omission, I realize, and now we're going to make up for it. So, before we jump in on that, I'd like to ask you, what is your personal Why? What is it that gets you out of bed every morning? I'm curious, Steve. That's my personal Why. I love to solve problems. Some might say that's because I have a short attention span that I like to go from problem to problem, but I love to solve problems. And the past 30 years of my professional career, I've been helping companies. Now, we'll talk about small businesses in this discussion, but admittedly big businesses for me, on a day-to-day basis, but helping them deal with cash and liquidity. And what I love, Steve, about what I do is I can measure the results. So I can see at the end of the day, I can see the benefits. And I'm very proud of the fact that my work helps some very iconic companies stay in business. And so there are people that are employed today because of decisions that they've made. And, yeah, that's my why. I love solving problems. And I like sort of tackling big questions. Okay. Well, let's tackle the biggest question of all is why revenue is not the same as cash. Yeah, let's start at the beginning. So, I think in business we understand revenue and profit fairly well, but we don't always understand the difference between that and cash. So if you think about revenue, let's say we sell something, but if we haven't gotten paid for it, and we don't have, so to speak, the cash in our pocket, then we don't have the ability to pay our bills. And so, Steve, if you will, let me take you back in time to when I was just out of college and kind of a silly example of this, but I think that it kind of grounds itself really well. When I was just out of college, I was living paycheck to paycheck. And fortunately, my employer paid me on the 1st and the 15th of every month. So, I knew when I was going to get paid. And fortunately, my landlord didn't come knocking on my door random days of the month asking for rent, I knew when that was when my bills were due as well. So even if I had, even if they gave me, you know, a little bit more money or a little bit less in any given month, I had to say I knew exactly when the revenue was coming in, when the cash was coming in, and when my bills were to be paid. So, I think in many ways, we understand that in our household economics, but then we get into business and sometimes I think we get confused because we start to confuse and chase revenue and revenue alone and forget that it's the cash that pays the bills. It's the cash that you use to buy new equipment to invest.

Mit dem Vorschlag für die MiCA (Markets in Crypto Assets)-Verordnung ebnet die Europäische Union den Weg, um die EU zu einem attraktiven Markt für Krypto-Asset-Dienstleister (Crypto Asset Service Providers, CASPS) für globale Geschäfte zu machen. Die MiCA hat daher zum Ziel, den Krypto-Asset-Markt zu regulieren und zu überwachen. Nachdem sie 2020 auf den Weg gebracht wurde und der endgültige Rechtsakt im Mai 2023 unterzeichnet wurde, tritt die MiCA ab Dezember 2024 in Kraft. Um einen detaillierteren Blick auf die Bedeutung dieses neuen Rechtsrahmens zu werfen und die MiCA bezüglich der Offenlegung von Nachhaltigkeit besser zu verstehen, hat ein Team um Christopher Schmitz, Peter Fricke, Andreas Wittkop und Anna Lange kürzlich in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute ein gemeinsames Paper zum Thema "Implications of Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) for sustainability disclosure" veröffentlicht. Was sollten CASPs und Token-Emittenten jetzt wissen? Wie wird sich die MiCA künftig auf den Kryptomarkt auswirken? Welche Herausforderungen stellen sich für Finanzinstitute bei der Erfassung von Nachhaltigkeitsindikatoren? Wir diskutieren diese und weitere spannende Fragen mit Lena Klaaßen, Co-Founder und COO des CCRI - Crypto Carbon Ratings Institute, Dr. Martin Wagener, Head of Group Regulatory and Governmental Affairs und Group Sustainability Officer der Boerse Stuttgart Group und Dozent am Karlsruher Institut für Technologie, sowie mit unserem Kollegen Andreas Wittkop, Manager Strategy & Transactions bei EY-Parthenon.

In this week's MBA Admissions podcast we began by discussing the MBA application deadlines and decision notifications for this season. Interview invites for Round 2 are now coming to an end as schools have shifted into handing out admissions decisions. Speaking of which, UPenn / Wharton, Yale SOM, Harvard, London Business School, Stanford, Northwestern / Kellogg, and Washington / Foster are releasing their final Round 2 results next week.  Best of luck to everyone awaiting word! Graham highlighted the new Spring survey that Clear Admit is running, to get a better sense of how MBA candidates select their target programs. Answering this survey really helps Clear Admit better understand the MBA community, and provides great insights for top MBA programs. The survey is here: https://bit.ly/caspringsurvey Graham then mentioned a Clear Admit event, with CMU / Tepper, which focuses on the MBA for non-traditional candidates. Signups are here: https://bit.ly/nontradMBA Graham also shared tidbits from four Real Humans Alumni pieces: alums from Harvard, working at PepsiCo, Stanford working at Uber, Berkeley / Haas working at Nike and Yale SOM working at EY-Parthenon. Finally we discussed the first in Clear Admit's series of post-MBA career reports. This one focuses on finance careers, and shows quite clearly which are the best MBA programs for buy-side finance roles, as well as for roles in investment banking. For this week, for the candidate profile review portion of the show, Alex selected two ApplyWire entries and one DecisionWire entry. This week's first MBA admissions candidate has very respectable numbers, with a 730 GMAT and 3.54 GPA. They began their career in oil and gas, and more recently are working in the area of carbon capture. They are really targeting the very top programs, which we think they have a realistic chance to attain. This week's second MBA candidate has an outstanding profile, all around. They have a fantastic GPA, complemented by a 730 GMAT. They have very decent work experience, with progressive roles, and their additional volunteer activities look good, too. We recommend they stick to one post-MBA short term goal, while targeting the very best MBA programs and considering geography as well. The final MBA candidate for this week is deciding between Dartmouth / Tuck, Duke / Fuqua and UVA / Darden. They have a very good scholarship offer from Fuqua, which may tip the balance in their favor. They are still waiting to hear back from Northwestern / Kellogg. This episode was recorded in Paris, France and Cornwall, England. It was produced and engineered by the fabulous Dennis Crowley in Philadelphia, USA.

Contact Laura: lgrattan@crosspointcapital.com Contact Jeff: jeffrey.vogel@parthenon.ey.com According to the latest EY PE Pulse report, 2021 was the year of the tech deal: 30% of total capital deployed last year was allocated to technology companies. The technology sector, once just another industry vertical, now permeates every sector, claiming an ever-increasing share of deals as more companies differentiate themselves based on their technology regardless of the industry in which they sit or serve. Crosspoint Capital focuses on the cybersecurity, privacy and infrastructure software sectors. PE firms that choose a niche specialization in the tech sector can bring deep sector expertise that translates to value creation for their portfolio companies. In an increasingly competitive tech environment, PE firms that focus on a highly targeted category of assets can find themselves in a differentiated position. They are able to quickly discern where to spend time, recognize the opportunities and limitations of an asset, and identify patterns indicative of future success.

There are more questions than answers: What caused the highest inflation rate in 40 years, and how do we get out of it? What can the Biden Administration and the Federal Reserve do to help?

Most business officers are upbeat about their colleges' financial future. Why is that so, and are they right to be so optimistic? This week's episode of The Key features a discussion about Inside Higher Ed's 2022 Survey of College and University Business Officers, which generally found college chief financial officers feeling pretty good about how their institutions are faring and how they're positioned for the future. The episode explores the survey's results, but also digs into whether financial and other leaders in higher education think their institutions need to make meaningful changes in how they operate to be financially sustainable and stable down the road – and whether their pretty rosy view might make them less inclined to see the need for significant changes on their campuses. The conversation features three business officers: Diane Snyder, vice chancellor of finance and administration at the Alamo Colleges District in Texas; Cynthia Vizcaino Villa, senior vice president for administration and finance at California Polytechnic State University at San Luis Obispo, and Mark Volpatti, vice president for finance and chief financial officer at Indiana's Valparaiso University.

[Episode originally published 12/16/2021] Tyler Brewster, Senior Director at EY-Parthenon, joins Winna Brown to reveal the drivers behind PE's increasing presence in pro sports and explore both the opportunities and risks for investors. Contact Tyler: tyler.brewster@parthenon.ey.com  Private equity (PE) is now undeniably present in the world of professional sports. According to Pitchbook, over the past 18 months, PE firms have taken on passive stakes in professional sports franchises and leagues after the NBA, MLB and Major League Soccer loosened ownership rules to include institutional investors. In addition, funds focused on sports have begun to emerge. According to Pitchbook, the total value of PE investments in sports teams and leagues has doubled in the past three years from US$3.3b in 2018 to US$7.1b in 2021. This episode dives into the current drivers, opportunities and risks shaping PE's presence in the sports industry. We discuss why this is an attractive industry for investors, the opportunities for continued growth such as media rights, asset diversification, and digital transformation, as well as the reputational risks and considerations for PE as it steps into the sports industry spotlight.
