Maruti Ritz is perhaps the most awaited and hyped car from Maruti Suzuki. The car is positioned in the premium A2 market segment, which includes its compact offerings such as Alto, WagonR, Swift, Zen and the newly-launched A-Star. Hyundai has already launched their i10 model in the Indian market. Now, it's the turn of market leaders Maruti Suzuki to respond with a brand new vehicle for the Indian market. engineers from Maruti Suzuki worked at close quarters with their Japanese counterparts in the development of the Ritz, much like that for the A-Star. MUL seems to be going the complete distance to ensure that the Ritz manages to make an impact on the cut-throat A-2 hatchback space. How far the new Ritz manages to compete with its couterparts is yet to be seen in the time to come.

talking about the engine..... the car has an add on advantage over other same category competetors. 17.2 kmpl petrol engine. and21 kmpl with diesel engine....go on......

The Evolution Of The Entreprenuer

The story of how Ryan Allis helped build iContact from nothing to over $12 million in sales by the age of 23 proves that it is never too early to become a successful entrepreneur. Ryan’s dream began at 11 years-old when he starting teaching senior citizens computer skills in his Florida hometown for $5 an hour. Through these early business opportunities, Ryan learned the importance of word of mouth to expand his client base. A few years later, while in school at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Ryan was sitting in on MBA classes at 18. It was at UNC where his business ideas began to fully take shape, and he decided to take the next step toward success.

Through persistence, hard work and his ability to inspire others, Ryan co-founded iContact, the leading provider of email marketing tools for small and mid-sized businesses with business partner Aaron Houghton. From its humble beginnings in a one-room office in Chapel Hill, NC in 2003, iContact today has over 90 employees, 22,000 customers worldwide, and over $12 million in annual sales.

Ryan’s personal account of success is shared throughout his first book, Zero to One Million (Mc-Graw Hill). The book’s first edition was written and published when Ryan was 18, and has recently been updated to include new entrepreneurial tips and advice. Zero to One Million includes Ryan’s 10-step process to obtaining $1 million in sales, as well as recommendations on subjects like how to raise venture capital and create a business plan.

The book is more than Ryan’s personal narrative; it’s a very usable guide for aspiring entrepreneurs, with guidance about how to think through and evaluate their business ideas and goals. Ryan does a fantastic job in conveying the fact that inspiring ideas and vision are important to the success of a business, but so is a sound business model founded on good market research.

Aside from being active in the business and entrepreneurial communities, Ryan is also passionate about giving back to those less fortunate than him. He is on the board of humanitarian organizations like Nourish International (www.nourishinternational.org) and Advocates for Grassroots Development in Uganda (www.agradu.org). He is also the founder and Executive Director of the Anti-Poverty Campaign (www.antipovertycampaign.org), an organization dedicated to reducing poverty in developing nations.

Now 23, Ryan is the full-time CEO of iContact. With imagination, perseverance, and a good mind for business, Ryan has taken iContact to the forefront of the online communications industry.
