Ambulance Outsourcing
I was agasht when I saw an ambulance of a hospital making that emergency siren and trying to make space on a busy day in the peak hours traffic. The address that mentioned on the ambulance was another 5 kilometers away and with this traffic it will be an hour to reach there. Yes surely this is common on Bangalore roads and may be the same story in other metros too. What really irritated me was not about the traffic chaos that exists in Bangalore (that is another story which I will keep it for another day) but the fact that another famous hospital was rigth next to that traffic jam and it would have taken just less than a minute to take the patient to that hospital but they won’t do that for reasons which is very obvious to everyone.
The GOAL and the way of achieving it!!
The GOAL and the way of achieving it…….
First of all let me take this opportunity to express my happiness over S7 Software being selected as the leader of NASSCOM Emerge 50 2009, we are all very excited and feeling déjà vu but had a great party too to celebrate the same. Want to thank NASSCOM and all involved for making this such a great success. Thank You!!
The Mc-D model
I was browsing my favorite newspaper, “the Wall Street Journal” and I came across this piece of news which sort of stopped me for a moment – “Your Bad luck is a windfall for airlines” and what I gathered is that your ticket cancellation, preponement, postponement or any such arrangements yields airlines a whopping $2 billion a year, much more than what they earn for baggage services and a simple search shows that a typical airlines makes around $15 billion. So if you add all these ticket alteration revenues, baggage revenues and all other value added service revenues, I am sure will come to a huge % of the total revenues but still one perceives that airline makes most of its money via the ticket sales.
“To attend a Tradefair or not?” that is the question
First of all sorry for being on a long hiatus from the blog world. Various reasons, most important was my long trip to US to meet various leads and clients and that took pretty much all of my time to prepare and present etc and then as soon as I was back, there were few clients visiting us and all my time was gone there but should not have been a reason to keep away from Blog 
“Don’t be an Idiot, you can’t do business here”
“Don’t be an Idiot, you can’t do business here”
This is the exact statement supposed to have uttered by Nandan Nilekani’s uncle when he announced that he and six others will start Infosys way back in 1981!!!!
EoC2 – a Roaring Success
Just back from the EoC2 (Emerge out Conclave 2) meet. This time it was in Chennai (the first one was held in Delhi last year) and I could feel a lot more energy and enthusiasm. Chennai NASSCOM unit rocks for sure.
I had a great day. The whole event was blogged and hence I will not reinvent the wheel and cover some of the aspects what I saw or perceived.
Let us Emerge Out!! Help me to get the best out of them
NASSCOM is doing the second edition of “EmergeOut Conclave” in Chennai on 29th April and I would request all of you guys to participate and I can guarantee that you will pick up something or other, atleast one valuable thing which probably will have the potential to take your firm to new heights. I attended the first one in Delhi and I really liked the seminar where you got to hear some of the great pearls of advice from some of the eminent IT personalities who have had been like us in the SME segment and have successfully emerged out today. I think I picked up few pearls infact and have already helped my company (S7 Software) in many ways.
Carbon Tax?
Carbon Tax?
I am not an expert in the green stuff but off lately I have been doing a lot of research on this especially the implications of green on IT and what effect it will have on IT migrations for a corporate (as we @ S7 Software focus mainly around migration and re-engineering domain)).
Damn it – it all makes sense!!!!
Damn it!!! It all Makes Sense
I was jogging in the morning last week or so, and lot of issues just popped in front of me about the recent terror attack on SL team in Lahore and how can they just shoot and escape so easily especially when they were promised security of the highest standards. That too no casualties to the SL team other than minor injuries even though they were lame ducks and could have easily been killed, all of them.
Sustaining your Company
This was a conference organized recently by TiE Bangalore Chapter with speakers from different spectrum and variety of companies and moderated by Mr. Sanjay Anandaram, TiE Bangalore Charter Member & Managing Director JumpStartUp and our (S7 Software) mentor too in the NASSCOM mentor panel.
