SatyamWay

Found this interesting piece of info while reading an interview of Mr.Ramalinga Raju , founder and chairman of Satyam Computers.This is something which happened in 1991 ,when the west wasn't very sure of outsourcing work to India.And its then that Satyam got its first fortune 500 client in India.This happened in US Midwest where in Satyam took up a rented house , across its customer's software development centre .Ten satyam engineers field tested the benefits of Global IT offshoring by pretending they were in India.They worked nights to simulate the time difference and for 6 months never met their customers across the street in person , communicating only through a dedicated satellite link"In the end the team worked better from this place called Little India as compared to working onsite"....

That was a really different way of proving ones's credentials.
From then on Ramalinga Raju an commerce graduate & an MBA has been on the path of trying out new things .Currently they are working on a new business model which they call the "Satyam Way".
will write abt the satyam way in my next post .....
