It's been a year since I blogged...urrghhh...everytime I try to rejuvenate my blogging it just keeps going down the train. I again have just now taken a vow to keep updating this every now and then.
Lot of things have flown by since I last blogged. The most significant being that I have changed the place where I work. I shifted from Wipro Technologies - Bangalore to Deloitte Consulting India Pvt Limited. This is my 2nd change in the last 10 years. Some things have changed for good and some not for that good at the moment.
Changes - I have taken up the designation of "SEnior Consultant" that I came out from in 2006. I started of with Capgemini Consulting India Pvt Limited and now ended up with Deloitte Consulting India Pvt Limited, the same name except that Capgemini is replaced with Deloitte. What I noticed about this change was that I am not the only one who moved out of Capgemini and joined Deloitte, there 100;s of such people and maybe vice-a-versa is also true.
Wipro is still undergoing a transition post the US led global recession. It tried this by going through a cost optimisation process and unfortunately has not been able to come out of that mode and hence I feel it is still struggling. IT is not the only one in this boat, but has been the slowest when compared to all it's competitors.
Amazingly Cognizant is now the 4th largest player in the market. Now we discuss India's top 4 by revenue instead of the earlier 3 days. Cognizant has bet big on some industry sectors and concentrated on certified consultants rather than the rest 3. Kudos to Cognizant on this line. For me on an individual note the change was purely on the Value a job offered to me. VALUE as we all know is Benefits/Cost. Benefits include working effort, monetary effort, comfort factors and the cost would include the growth path in a traditional manner, choice of assignment and others. I primarily looked at the Benefits column and not at the cost side.
As of now I feel there is more VALUE than the previous job.
The other changes have been that my daughter has grow up and now has a new school - Sri Chaitanya Techno School. My daughter is changing dramatically in terms of her growth as an individual. The positives cannot be attributed to any one particular reason - school, syllabus, age, attention by parents and maybe just the genes from her Father (;-) .
Hope to blog more in the coming days.
