Also, I heard MGM Studios is bankrupt and Sahara Pariwar was in talks to buy their assets and debt. But I guess the talks failed.

IPL auction: Big business and buzz inside, life normal outside
2011-01-08 17:16:36

Bangalore: The rich and the famous traded millions of dollars for the pretty wealthy but more famous cricketers inside an upscale hotel here Saturday as Bangaloreans went about their business as usual.



The streets remained crowded, perhaps a bit more due to the weekend and holiday for government offices as it is the second Saturday of the month. Every second Saturday the state government offices are closed in Karnataka.

The venue of the auction of 350 cricketers for the Indian Premier League (IPL) T20 matches, ITC Royal Gardenia, is located at such a busy junction that it would be difficult to make out there was an extra crowd outside to get a feel of the big business inside.

The hotel is a stone's throw from Richmond Circle, a confluence of four arterial roads. A flyover was built to end traffic jams at the junction about four years ago. But with a 1,000 vehicles added every day to Bangalore roads, it takes up to 30 minutes to get out of the area, particularly in the morning and evening peak hours.

The flyover was a butt of jokes till a few months ago, for there was a traffic signal and a cop on top to man it at one point.

Unlike the match days when the shops selling TVs remained crowded as the show was live, there were not many Saturday even though the sets blared professional auctioneer from London Richard Madley coaxing bidders to loosen the purse strings for each player.

The news of who bought whom and for how much was being almost constantly exchanged through SMSes. Occasionally the passers-by did ask the ones who were watching the proceedings live outside the shops, 'what is the latest' and moved on.

I think it is 7 star hotel.. why did they choose bangalore for auction? no specific reason i beleive

As per my understanding, there is no organization or formal body awards or recognizes any rating over five star deluxe, such claims are meaningless and predominantly used for advertising purposes.

I had a chance to be with Mr. Vivek Nair, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the Leela Group of Hotels for a day, way back in 2001-2002 at Trivandrum. (He is the Honorary Secretary of the Federation of Hotels & Restaurants Association of India, which represents 1800 hotels and 800 restaurants in the country.) I had started my career at Kerala Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation (KINFRA) and Mr. Nair was the State Guest for some business meet or so and I was his guide for the day. I thought of clearing my doubt with him whether any 7 star classification is there to which he replied as NO.

ITC GARDENIA is world’s largest LEED platinum rated hotel.
