And you already thought it was difficult to get a reservation at Noma. The Copenhagen restaurant, one of the world’s most famous and a top destination for food tourism, has given notice that it will permanently close its doors to regular service. The good news for fine-dining groupies: The closing won’t come until the end of 2024. Rumors that Noma would close have been swirling for months. Rene Redzepi, chef-owner of Noma, said Monday that it wasn’t possible to make the math of fine dining work for his almost 100 employees and himself. “We have to rethink the industry,” he told the New York Times. In 2021, the restaurant lost money, even with government support, while selling $700 lunches, although it said it expected a better result in 2022. The restaurant is currently offering a seasonal tasting menu including sika deer, game birds and reindeer with forest-scavenged mushrooms and berries for 3,500 Danish kroner ($500), with a 1,800-kroner wine pairing.

Indian Rupee Rupee-denominated bond sales are set to grind to a halt in a few days as India’s government upgrades an online portal used by companies to file regulatory documents. Starting Jan. 7, the Ministry of Corporate Affairs portal will be unavailable for companies to file a so-called PAS-3 form, or “return-of-allotment” form, as the administration migrates to a new version of its e-filing platform. The service will be unavailable until Jan. 22, according to a statement on the ministry’s website. The move could delay new sales because issuers can’t use funds raised through the sale of any bonds until they file the return-of-allotment form, which lists all security holders. “PAS-3 form is filed to the Registrar of Companies using the MCA portal, and only after filing this form can the bond proceeds be used,” said Jayen Shah, founder of Mavuca Capital Advisors Pvt., a fintech investment banking firm. “Given e-filings can’t be done, it will hurt issuance during this … [Read more...] about Rupee bond sales set to halt as India upgrades platform

Santosh Iyer, the newly-appointed MD and CEO of Mercedes-Benz India, sparked a debate in November when he said that systematic investment plans (SIPs) are the luxury car brand’s biggest competitor in the country. He has now clarified that his remarks were made in the context of luxury market growth. “The statement made was in the context of the luxury market growth, what will happen in three to five years’ time,” Iyer told Moneycontrol in an interview . In November, Iyer, who was then the sales and marketing head of Mercedes-Benz India, had told Times of India that SIPs in mutual funds were eating into luxury car sales in India. If a potential customer diverted Rs 50,000 into buying a luxury car instead of investing through SIPs, the luxury car business would “explode,” Iyer had said. “The context of the discussion is that there are a couple of factors to change,” he clarified in a January interview with Moneycontrol. These factors, he said, included the fact that the … [Read more...] about Mercedes-Benz India CEO clarifies why ‘SIPs are competition’. Here is what he said
