MU losses Rs 26 crore due to excess hiring of contract staff
The recruitment took place between 2018 and 2023, and the recruitment of additional staff increased the number of employees at the university. It is alleged that all these recruitments were not approved by the syndicate or authorised by the state govt. The excess recruitment was highlighted during a govt audit, and it asked Mangalore University to cut down the numbers. Based on the govt directive, Mangalore University terminated the excess staff.
Raghuraj, a syndicate member who raised the issue, said that the estimated loss presented to the syndicate meeting is approximately Rs 26 crore. "A total of 359 excess staff members were appointed between 2018 and 2023, and according to our estimation, the loss is more than Rs 30 crore, and we have asked the finance department to redo the calculation and submit a fresh report in the next syndicate meeting. We have also asked the official to produce the order copy of the syndicate decision for recruitment approval.

The syndicate will also press for an inquiry into it," said Raghuraj.
Y Sangappa, finance officer at Mangalore University, said that all the excess staff pointed out by the state govt were laid off months after it was highlighted. "We have terminated the services of 144 temporary and contractual staff to date. They all include clerical (second division assistant) and below-rank posts. Currently, there are only 230 contractual and temporary staff whose services are essential to run the university.
" He added that the university's sanctioned posts include 476 non-teaching and 273 teaching faculty. "Among these sanctioned posts, many are retired, and some will retire soon," he said.
The cash-strapped university also has no funds to pay for the permanent employees' retirement benefits. Sangappa said that in the academic year 2024-25, a total of 24 teaching and non-teaching staff retired, and Mangalore University requires nearly Rs 14 crore to pay for retirement benefits.

PE groups Permira, CVC Cap, EQT in fray to buy Nuvama Wealth from PAG
Mumbai: Private equity buyout groups CVC Capital Partners, Permira and EQT are in talks with Asia-Pacific-focused private equity firm PAG to buy its controlling stake in Nuvama Wealth Management Ltd (NWML), formerly Edelweiss Wealth Management, in a buyout that's potentially worth $1.6 billion, said people in the know. ADVERTISEMENT Competing with them is HSBC, Europe's largest bank by market capitalisation, said the people cited, in a hotly contested race, as Nuvama's role as the local trading partner of Jane Street came under investor scrutiny. India's stock market regulator has barred Jane Street from the local securities market. Nuvama's shares plunged 11% in trading, the most in three months, after the interim order - over allegations of market manipulation by Jane Street - became public on Friday. The four contenders listed above have been shortlisted after non-binding bids were submitted late last month. Due diligence is ongoing with an aim to submit binding bids by this month's end, a deadline that most analysts said will be difficult to meet. A Fallback Option Also, Warburg Pincus is said to have made a verbal offer with an indicative value for the business and is being kept as a fallback option. ADVERTISEMENT Domestic fund ChrysCapital is also said to be in the fray. Sources said the potential buyers may be open to a smaller transaction for a lower stake and look to team up with others as co-investors. Consortia are likely to get formed as the cheque size is expected to be large, said the people cited. As promoter, PAG owns 54.78% of Nuvama, which has a market capitalisation of Rs 26,150.87 crore. Any deal involving a change of control will trigger an open offer for 26% of shares held by minority shareholders. At Friday close, PAG's stake is worth Rs 14,383 crore. ADVERTISEMENT With the stock surging 114% since the firm's listing in September 2023, PAG had decided to start a sale process earlier this year and appointed investment banks JP Morgan and Morgan Stanley as advisers. After an initial approach to strategic buyers, a wider circle of potential suitors including buyout funds were tapped. In the past year, the stock has jumped 55.02%.PAG, CVC, EQT, Permira and ChrysCap didn't respond to queries. ADVERTISEMENT HSBC declined to comment. Sources close to the bank said it's not pursuing the acquisition. Nuvama offers wealth management solutions, covering investment advisory, estate planning, asset management services, investment management, lending and broking services for individuals, institutions, senior executives, professional investors and family offices. NWML is the flagship entity of the Nuvama Group that also offers institutional equities, broking, custodian and settlement services and investment banking services to institutional clients. It was previously a wholly owned subsidiary of Edelweiss Financial Services Limited (EFSL), which announced the sale of a part of its stake in the wealth management business to PAG in September quarter of FY21. ADVERTISEMENT Revenue from asset servicesFollowing completion of the demerger process in June 2023, it got listed in September that year. PAG invested about $325 million for a controlling stake in Nuvama in March though 47% of revenue in the March quarter of FY25 came from asset services (custodian, settlement), equities and investment banking, at the profit after tax (PAT) level, 35% came from wealth management. Around 51% of consolidated PAT came from asset services and 18% from equities and investment banking, which includes M&A and capital market advisory for the full Street is among the largest clients of this vertical, sources said. While some analysts estimate 40% of business comes from that single client, this could not be independently verified. As per a company presentation, the vertical handled $14.7 billion of institutional assets in FY25, a breakout year when the business saw its revenues jump 85% from the year Sebi has not named Nuvama in its order, it got caught in regulatory crossfire as it had earlier responded to the NSE's investigation into Jane Street's trades, which the exchange closed in May. Strong show in FY25 Overall, Nuvama reported a strong performance in FY25 with a 58% YoY increase in profit after tax and a return on equity of 31%. The implementation of regulatory measures for strengthening the index derivatives framework in November 2024 and the moderation in market trends saw Nuvama's revenue from the institutional equities and investment banking segments declining by 27% in March quarter of FY25 from the best-ever performance in Q2 of the same fiscal to ICRA, the franchise's strengths are partially offset by exposure to the inherent volatility in the capital markets besides regulatory uncertainties and associated franchise and reputational risks.'The Jane Street episode will be a one-time hit but not have structural impact,' said one of the executives cited. 'However, valuation may be likely to get impacted if the matter drags on.'Most investors are keen on Nuvama because of its wealth platform. The sector in India is fragmented across different types of players. Currently, wealth under professional management in India stands at around 15%, as compared to ~75% in matured markets. Indian wealth managers have $130-160 billion of assets under management (AUM) of India's $1-1.2 trillion wealth management market.

Micromanagers to ghost bosses: Ghazal Alagh breaks down what makes employees leave
Image credits: LinkedIn/Ghazal Alagh Ghazal Alagh, the 36-year-old co-founder of the beauty and skincare company Mamaearth, recently took to LinkedIn to share a post on employee-manager relationships and how positivity or negativity decides the employee's future with the company. In the now-viral post, Alagh claimed, "Employees don't leave companies, they leave managers. " She added how this statement is the most quoted one in leadership and how it's true that an employee's day-to-day experience with their manager is a deciding factor in whether they stay, grow or walk away. Sharing her experience of observing hundreds of teams in the initial stages, she explained how certain management styles can push even the most talented employees out of the company. 8 types of managers that high performers can't work with Image credits: LinkedIn/Ghazal Alagh Alagh went on to define 8 types of managers that high performers find hardest to work with. These were: The Micro manager : The one who oversees every detail and leaves no space for trust or autonomy The Credit Taker : The one who is quick to celebrate wins but slow to share recognition The Ghost : The one who is hard to approach and offers little support or feedback The Volcano : The one who is temperamental and makes consistency impossible for teams The Information Hoarder : They keep the knowledge close to them, thus stalling team growth The Never-Satisfied : While they raise the bar consistently, they rarely acknowledge the progress The Favoritist : The one who selects a few and focuses their energy on them, leaving the others sidelined The Risk-Free Boss : They shy away from innovation and limit new ideas and growth The successful entrepreneur who has appeared on shows like 'Shark Tank India' went on to emphasise how trust, respect and everyday leadership build true retention asking people what kind of leadership they had personally seen that made the biggest difference- inspiring them to stay or pushing them to move. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Wenn du dir die Zeit am Computer vertreiben musst, ist dieses Spiel ein Muss in 2025!

"Perks don't fix poor leadership. People stay for leaders who have their backs and let them grow," wrote a person in the comments. Some even pinpointed the worst types as "risk-free boss" and "never-satisfied" ones. "Most people don't quit the job, they quit how the job feels because of the person leading them," added another.
