Budget 2010: More hype than reality?

On March 5th, 2010, Moneycontrol.com conducted a CEO Roundtable - Budget 2010: More hype than reality? - in association with Cisco.

In the event we tried to dig a little deeper into the Budget. The Union Budget presented by Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee on Feb 26th spread a lot of feel-good. On the face of it, everyone was happy. But weeks into the Budget, is that feeling still in the air?

While many rated this Budget as safe and balanced, an equal number of critics believe the Budget was all hype and no reality. Today, we talked to CEOs from various sectors and try and understand how they read the Budget.

Watch the attached videos to catch the event.

About Moneycontrol events
A little about Moneycontrol's events. At the time we launched Moneycontrol, it was more of a dream than anything else. Internet penetration was less than a million in 1999, but that did not stop us from wanting to be India's definitive online destination for business and financial information. Today, Moneycontrol has grown to become India's biggest site and the world's second largest. Our community too is very sticky and articulate; no other site in India has a forum of managers and investors as active as ours.

We believe our next driver of growth will come from leveraging the internet to give our audience a lot more in terms of specialized content. That is what gave birth to the idea of events. Our aim is to have views and opinions from specialists like you and reach them to our large audience through live streaming and video content.
