IT SME FORUM

About 7 months back a group of Entrepreneurs from Chennai who had a common thread of running their software companies got togehter to form a cohesive group - The IT SME FORUM - as a Strategy to accelerate their individual growth through synergy. Each one of these entrepreneurs are successfully running their software companies fighting individual battles to keep the company up and running, maintain a steady growth rate, increase their customer base, etc. Running a company in India is not a easy task - it is literally getting pulled in thousands of direction and believe me - A business leader is supposed to concentrate only on Growth - Marketing - Sales.

Corporate Governance /Satyam fiasco

The lady with a School

Like the Nightingale of the old world fighting for the patients, here is a lady who fights for the educational privilege of the underprivilged. Ms Nimmu Vasanth Kumar. What a way she has come through. But for her grit and determination, anybody else in her place would have folded up and gone the easy route, let alone think of doing any social service. One of the few enginnering Graduates way back in 1979, if only she had continued with her role in the Software Industry, we would be talking of her as one who would have broken the "Glass ceiling". But not a bed of roses did she want to tread on. Tending to a husband with ‘Paranoid Schizophrenia", she not only gave up on a great career and accomplishments, she chose to go way out to help her husband in the times of need. She went into the film making, which was her husband's field, thereby supporting her husband's recovery. My God what a struggle it would have been for the couple. Not only does she openly ta...
