Wipro Technologies is probably the first IT organization in India to embrace blogging. They have started http://wiproweblog.com. I was surprised when I found a link to their blog site on their home page. Very cool.

Switching careers: Madman's story of making a business out of one's passion
Posted on 02:22 by Unknown
Folks Madhu 'Madman' Menon is is featured in an article on career-switching in The Hindu..
When the great exodus to the IT industry started, just about everyone dropped what they were doing and flung themselves into the gold rush; some wanted to move to the USA, some wanted to make money, and some wanted both. From the early 90s to now, things have changed. Last year not many engineering entrants were interested in taking up IT as a branch of study. The honeymoon, sadly, is over. But amid this mileu a few individuals had the courage, initiative, and the brains to break into entrepreneurship. Madhu 'Madman' Menon is one of them. I am not surprised that The Hindu featured him in this article:
The Hindu Business Line : Doing business with relish
There's a lesson in it for each one of us. IT is not the only pasture. If only you applied your brains, you could hit upon a great idea. India needs entrepreneurs.
Madhu, make it two. ;-)

Off shoring of Documentation: a survey
Posted on 02:28 by Unknown
Today, many software product companies have a base in India. A huge pool of talent, low wages, and an English-speaking population made India a great outsourcing destination. In the past few years, technical writing too transitioned to India for the same aforementioned reasons. If you are a technical writer working in the onsite-offshore model, please tell me how your experience has been. What are the challenges that you face? Are you satisfied with the job content? Please participate in this informal survey. Offer your feedback through the comments link on this blog or write to me at suman (at) Sumankumar (dot) com.
I look forward to hearing from you. Do pass the word around!
