My Visit to " MY HYDERABAD MY DESTINY IT CONCLAVE "

It's great Pleasure for me to be present at " MY HYDERABAD MY DESTINY IT CONCLAVE " . I feel vrey sorry that i could not make up in the morning as i had my general work schedules and i had missed the Keynote address given by Mr.Ramalinga Raju, Chairman, Satyam Computer Services Ltd and then there is a Inaugral Function by Mr. Y. S.Rajsekhar Reddy, C.M. of A.P and then there is speech from Mr B.V.Naidu, Head of STPI and then Mr. Bob Hoekstra, MD, Philips Software. These were the sessions that had happened in the morning and i missed all of them and in particular i had missed a lot the session of Mr. Bob. i heard from friends that the Bob Session was good and it is some thing differant, getting more applauds from the audience.

I had attended the sessions after the Lunch and it started on with " Debate of the Day " which was anchored by Arnab Goswami, Vice president and editor of TV News division of Times of India and the Topic is " Cyberabad Vs Hyperabad ". In this the speakers were Mr.Subroto Bagchi, Coo, Mind Tree and Mr.Romi Malhotra, M.D, Dell International Services who were against Cyberabad and for Hyperabad and the Dr.Santanu paul, General manager, Virtusa ( India) and Mr. Ajay Sawhney, Secreatary were for Cyberabad and not Hyperabad. The discussion was good and what i felt is that there shld not be more emphasis on Bangalore and shld not degrade hyderabad. We need to accept the things like Bangalore is IT Capital of India from long time and might not be there for ever and is getting a huge competion from Hyderabad, which is growing in a rapid pace in IT and ITES Sectors and i do accpet that there certain facts that government is just saying but not implementing them.

I asked the principal secretary about the Jawahar Knowledege Centre which he had specified it in his debate and he had forwarded me to Mr.Subba Rao who is taking care of it. I just want to ask them that there is more hype in that Jawahar Knowledge Centre and the Girl students who are being trained were not told properly and they are only just given training on some open source technologies and help them create some web pages and once they were selceted they were given rigirious training on them and then they need to teach the same in differant colleges until they get palced in a company. if they are not placed in a company then they need to continue as a trainer in differant colleges. some of the girls had asked me abt the suggestion regarding this and i suggested them not go with it as they have good future in developement side. I later spoke to MR.Subba Rao, Chief Information Officer to Governement of A.P and i cld not get a concrete reply on this.

Then started the pannel discussion on " Human Resource and Infrastructure, and the pannelists are J.C.Mohanty, principal Secretary, IT, Govt. of AP and Mr. Srini Koppolu M.D,Microsoft, Ninad Karpe, M.D, C.A and MR.Srikant Sunderrajan, CTO, Cognizant. The discussion went were well and ideas of these people were too excellent and i liked the idea of Mr.Karpe's son who said intrestingly that we need to have free broad band connection for each home, that's too good and i liked the idea of it. The discussion went very well and it is too good.

Then we had some Tea Break where i had chat with Srini Koppolu, M.D, Microsoft on Microsoft plans in area of RFID which is concerned with my area of interest and in which we are doing a lot of research and Srini said we will get in touch regarding the RFID Research as Microsoft is planning to start research in RFID. This a good interaction with srini and we had discussed on lot of topics with him.

Then started with Pannel discussion by eminenet academics. The pannelists are Sabyasachi Mitra from ISB, Prof Sadagopan of IIIT Bangalore, Prof Govindarajulu of IIIT Hyderabad and G.Subba Rao, CIO Govt of AP and the principal of Oakridge International School. Some comments made by Prof from IIIT, Bangalore are good and to be taken into consideration and some part of Discussion went on reading the info from net it was not that much more than reading facts from net.

Then we have the guest of Honour for Valedictory Function MR. Narra Chandra Babu Naidu and he had given a good presentation of his findings in IT and his involvement in bringing IT to Hyderabad and we need be all thank full in this regard. as no body knows what IT is and he is the guy who brought IT in Hyderabad and he had created a place for Hyderabad in world map. His efforts had brought many fruits to AP that we are enjoying today and we should all remember his great and good efforts.

I had some discussions with MR.Naidu and with MR. Suren Poruri, Implementation Manager and Mr. Manoj Tiwari from euclid, and these guys are quite cool and were quite intresting with the work we are doing and are also quite impressed with the work we are doing and like to have an association with us. nice to meet such good people.

That's a great experience for me to meet all the industry Leads from differant companies and had nice discussion with them and we should all be thankful to Times of India for condcuting such a event in coordination with Virtusa and others.

Events such as like this should happen as they focus the growth of IT in Hyderabad.

I personally thank Times of India for sending me an Invitation for the Conclave and u need to go up with conclaves like this to bring focus of IT in Hyderabad and bring it International Level and more popular and attract more investment to Hyderabad and make Hyderabad as the IT Capital of INDIA.
