India - Day 2


Today I met Umesh Bajaj who is the CEO of HealthAsyst. He's a very interesting guy and has filled in a lot of gaps about India history, Indian economy and IT industry in Bangalore. Umesh is coming to the US in early March and will be visiting Chicago. I've asked him to stop by our office when he's hear.
The country is clearly changing and becoming more Westernized. This process is evolving but clearly it is happening.
India has its share of internal terriosm that you never hear about in the US. They also have insurgent groups that operate in rural parts of the country.
Today's newspaper had an article about seven people getting run over yesterday in Bangalore.

I'm helping Simon interview people for a project that he may staff here. He's passing them along to me if he feels they are promising. So far I talked to a total of 3 people out of 9. Simon is looking for Delphi coders to get his code base up to the latest version Delph which is Delphi .Net.

I've uploaded a picture of the office here. It's pretty typical I think. The cubes are 4 person and tight.
