When I was a child, my teacher asked, “Who’s your favourite hero?”. “Shaktiman!”, I blurted out along with many of my classmates, imagining myself as the superhero in the red suit. As I grew up, my preferences evolved with the speed of light, sometimes it was the “Caped crusader” while some other time it was the “Man of Steel”.
The Indian IT industry has long counted The USA as one of its biggest markets for IT related services. Several models have evolved in the IT industry to cater to the US market and among it is the Onsite-Offshore model of service delivery. This is a highly effective model for delivering IT services at a lower cost that leverages low cost resources at locations outside USA to execute a major part of the work combined with a few client-facing resources in the US.
Have you heard of The Great Arctic Office Conspiracy theory? The evidence to support the theory lies in the sweaters that lie inside the desk drawers of thousands of women. Come on, don't tell me you haven't noticed your colleague shivering like she's stranded beyond the Wall.
Every office has an “office loudspeaker”. There is at least one, if not many. By “loudspeaker” I mean by the virtue of their loud voice/muscular throat or attitude they keep on loudly speaking on the phone from time to time. No, no, why should they bother that you are being disturbed, after all, they are doing their job and you are idling your time coming to the office everyday. You should mind your own Business and let me them not mind their tongue.
The Internet of Everything, a superset of Internet of things, is a word that most of us have heard of. The recent buzz about smart cities has only added to the excitement of what is to follow.
10 years ago, in mid-July of 2006, Indian techies in the US went on a sick-in strike in large numbers.
For those of you who think that this is one of the most expensive Western pop music shows to be staged in India with the Silver zone tickets at Rs 20,000 ( almost £250 at depressed post-Brexit £ prices) you may just be right, although tickets were also available at Rs 5000. (I am told Gold Zone was at Rs 35,000) You might find the composition of the line-up in India for the Global Citizen concert in Mumbai, a little different from the New York concert held recently on 24th September. Read the Economist article Global Citizen Festival: a mash-up of music fans, bands and prime ministers. So here in Mumbai, you will have more actors than musicians. And fewer Prime Ministers, Heads of State and First Ladies. So don't expect the equivalent of Michelle Obama who graced the 2015 show in New York. We don't have one!
“GST was good economics; the demonetization is not. Its economics is complex and the collateral damage is likely to far outstrip the benefits,” Basu (World Bank Chief Economist) tweeted.
