The month of March witnesses frenzy in the 􀃺 nance department
of every company. With year-end closing playing a prominent role,
there is an assessment of hits and misses in the year gone, and
major planning and fund management for the new 􀃺 nancial year.
With this as a backdrop, we have carved this month's cover story.
Experts reveal that the long-term objective of any business is
pro􀃺 t maximisation, and maintaining a good cash 􀃻 ow for dayto-
day expenses an important short-term goal. For the survival
of a company and eventual success, new and established
entrepreneurs need balanced fund allocation, as one incorrect
decision may lead to bankruptcy. With this as a backdrop, Salon
India speaks with stakeholders.
International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International
Working Women's Day, is celebrated on 8th March every year.
In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from
general celebration of respect, appreciation, and love towards
women to a celebration for women's economic, political, and
social achievements. We take this opportunity to salute salons,
spas and brands, who have launched special offers and gifts on
this day in honour of their women clients.
