Infosys chief named Asia’s top businessman

Forbes has named Infosys’ Nandan Nilekani as Asia’s Businessman of the Year.

He is the second Indian national, after Ratan Tata of the Tata group, to get such recognition. Tata was Asia’s Businessman of the Year 2004 and the Fung brothers of Hong Kong’s Li & Fung were the 2005 winners.

Nandan Nilekani
Forbes described Infosys as an Indian wonder, although 98% of its business is derived from foreign countries. “Most of its customers live and work in the US where offshorers, like Infosys, tend to be viewed as faceless armies of software engineers and call-centre operators on the other side of the world, saving American money while stealing their jobs,” Forbes said.

According to B Murali, noted film choreographer and founder of Chennai-based Swingers, 30 to 40 dance studios have come up in Chennai while around 50 in Bangalore, all within a short span.

MS Office 2007: The great Gamble

Microsoft is doing a radical makeover of the Office as we have known with Office 2007. In the process, though, it is placing a huge bet on the future: Who will rule the desktops in the future?

Over the last few decades, mankind (the computing literate one) has been divided into two factions, namely Mac and PC. The ardent cohort of one group will be often found deriding the other.

The debate on which system (Apple Mac or Microsoft PC) is more superior and easy to use has been going on for quite sometime. At the very center of this debate are the operating system and its applications.
