I still remember that sunny morning, almost a month back, when I got the intimation about my participation required in an event in Trinidad and Tobago. The event was called upon by CII (Confederation of Indian Industries) to showcase India´s rising business capabilities to the community in Trinidad and Tobago. Even after having worked in Latin America for more than 4 years now, the Caribbean region was still, and even more now, an unknown territory for me. I looked upon [ Read More ]

I just gave the example of Kiran. But believe me, the ideas in form of comments [ Read More ]

Thomas Friedman said the world is flat, Well the same is not true about the technology trending. In the early 2000s, all of us, the proud preachers of software or service solution wizards were happy glorifying the value of shared service.
