Collective effort to develop IT & ITeS in Belgaum
A thought came to my mind vis-à-vis the IT sector in Belgaum. Something collectively should be and can be done by all the IT companies located in Belgaum when they collaborate on a single platform. I don’t know how many IT or BPO or ITeS companies exist in Belgaum but we could attempt to get all these on a single platform which would contain data of all the companies, job vaccines etc and it would benefit the IT companies as well as people seeking jobs and who want to get more info on starting up IT companies in Belgaum.
There are web designers and other small startups working from a home office setup which might be included in this by which they could get exposure. Even today many people go to Bangalore or Pune to get a website designed for a company located in Belgaum, a simple thing but people aren’t aware of it in town.
AAB [http://allaboutbelgaum.com] would be devoted to share information on this.
The same is the case with the IT start ups like vayavyalabs.com, Spundhan, eth1 network solutions,
leading minds to name a few I know of. BPOs like BTPi info, Gurukul scribe and Katwa infotech and others may perhaps come together and spread awareness about the presence of IT and ITeS companies in Belgaum. This is just a thought and I have nothing concrete in my mind. People in this field could throw additional light on this.
All the IT & ITeS companies located in Belgaum or companies interested in setting up shop here please post a comment as to what do you think about this.
Let me know your thoughts on this.

Specials: Tsunami RECESSION! Part 2
7:52 PM Posted by ukmad
Part 2
Den and Ram are so exhausted that they prefer taking a nap rather than brooding over things which cannot be changed. Suddenly ram’s Mobile rings
“Where are you Ram? Heard that people from GSM are terminated. Is everything alright?”Ria sounds a bit tensed.
“No Ria... I mean actually... Ria... I…”
“Speak up ram, why are you sounding so nervous??”
“I am no longer an employee of GSM ria”
Silence persists...
“Ram where are you??” Ria’s voice cracking
“At dens room “
“He too?”
“Yes”
“Ram comes home…”
“Yes dear I will be there in few minutes”.
“What next ram” asks den.
Ram prefers to remain silent.
“I have an idea in my mind.” Den breaks the silence with his words.
“Go ahead den”
“Why don’t you go back to your town and look after your dads business?”
“I am not in a mood to listen to your crap jokes den “
“What’s wrong in it ram?? Don’t you think you can do much better than your dad??”
“What the hell Den? I am an engineer do you think I should go and do farming in Kaivara?? Is it my field?? I want to work in it”
“What’s wrong in farming ram?? You can expand your dads work. You can implement new technologies start your own small scale industries. Why not ram??? “
“NO”
“Look ram I have made up my mind that I am not going to slog in this field. I will rather join dad’s factory in Mysore”
Dens dad owns a Garment factory in Mysore.
“You do what you wish to. But I don’t want to go to Kaivara. It is not that easy den”
“Tell me what’s so difficult in it??”
“See the lifestyle in Bangalore and see that of Kaivara. No malls, no multiplexes, no super markets. And working in a farm??”
“You have workers to work in farm ram. Think with a broader perspective. Why can’t you?? You can expand your business like anything ram. Trust me you will have more satisfaction than any other work”
“What business?? How will I??”
“If every person starts thinking the way you are thinking how will our country progress?? There will be only engineers and doctors and no farmers. No new technologies will be introduced. Think over it Ram. Do you think farming can be done only by people who are not qualified or under qualified?? Why do you think your dad started farming?? “
Ram nods and leaves dens room. He catches an auto straight to his rented flat. He reaches his flat and finds Ria already waiting for him at the door. Tears in her eyes. She sees ram and hugs him.
“amma appa had called some time back” Ria says
“What did they say?”
“They asked whether we are coming to Kaivara for Holi”
“hmmm” Ram tells Ria about Dens suggestion.
“Amma appa need you Ram. I think Den is right. We must go to Kaivara and look after our farms till you get another job. You can keep posting your resumes and wait for a proper job.”
“Is it ok with you Ria?? What will you do in Kaivara? Your career will be ruined”
“It’s just a matter of few days dear. Once you get a good job, we will again shift back. Practically speaking this is a better option at this point of time”
Things are packed and shifted to their relatives place. Den leaves both of them to the railway station.
“Keep in touch ram”
“Sure dude. Hope to see you soon”
Months pass by. Ram is now completely focused in his new work. He has purchased another 2 acres of land and increased his production. There are 20 people working under him who look after sowing, harvesting and other works. Ram visits the farm at mornings and evenings. But down in his heart Ram still feels that he is missing something in life. He still posts his resume with a hope to get back in corporate world…. He has imbibed new technologies in farming, purchased few more machineries. Crop is of excellent quality and he transports it to near-by places. With Dens fathers help, he has signed up a big contract of supplying grains with one of the industrialists “Mr Rangraju” in Bangalore. In a year or two he plans to start his own factory in Kaivara where he will be packing tinned food. Ria is busy with her job too. You might be wondering what she into is. She has started a small scale business of weaving sweaters, carpets. She has hired a few women and manages to supply the stuff to a boutique in Bangalore and some local places. She is happy with her job too and has a satisfaction of helping the needy by employing them. Ram and ria visit Bangalore once in a month for their business purpose. Ria is quiet excited with her new work. “Business lady” as her friends call her. Den has decided to study abroad. His dad says he is still not matured enough to join his business. So he will be pursuing his higher education. Den’s happy too… Happy to go back into student phase and hang around with girls!!!! Typical enough…
What do you think? Is Rams decision a right one? It’s a point to think. Why 9 out of 10 engineers join IT? Are there no options available or we don’t want to explore these options?

Tsunami “RECESSION”!! : specials
7:03 PM Posted by ukmad
About the Author: Gouree Deshpande/ Manjarekar was campus recruited in Mindtree consultancy and Cognizant. She worked for Mindtree for a few months. She now runs an institute "Gurukul centre for learning". She also runs a NGO "Joy Bank".
It’s a short story about 2 friends, How their life changes after recession. Today every other engineer wants to enter IT. But it’s a trend which youngsters are following. Not knowing much what they want out of their life. Rather taken away with the glamorous job. This is two part story and here is part one:
Tsunami “RECESSION”!!
Ram and Denver (names changed) stood together at a corner of the giant sized Multistoried office. Gazing at each other. Faces full of question marks?????? What next?? Where to go??? Future seemed to be blank, just like they had nothing left in this world. “Why the hell is it me Den??? How am I going to tell this to Ria?” Denver had no answer though. He kept staring at the building. Denver and Ram were the victims of the so called Tsunami “RECESSION”!! Both were left jobless along with 50 other people from different departments. “Is this the right way Den??? I never thought it could be me. There are scores of people in Gsm then why only do we need to suffer? “. Gsm (name changed) is the company where den and ram work or rather worked!! “Shut up ram. Please don’t panic. Let’s go back home and think over the situation”.
Both Ram and Denver were clueless of the incident till this morning. It just happened that, they tried to insert their Id cards and The system refused to recognize their ids. Possibly their names and ids were already been deleted from the company’s databases. Doors were not going to open. They were confused and thought it’s just a system problem. They ran to the administrator and to their horror they were now no more a part of GSM info systems. They left the building in disgust.
“I don’t feel like going back home den. Can I come to you room?” “Of course Ram “. “I can’t face Ria. I just promised her to buy a new flat on our anniversary...”
“Just Relax Ram, This is not the end of everything. We must move on. I am sure ria will handle it... She is a brave girl “
“I know... But she left her job just because I wanted to continue working in Bangalore and her company did not give her a transfer from Pune to Bangalore. Just see!!! Neither she nor I have a job in hand now… I feel guilty as heck”
While driving back to Den’s room they just recollect back their college days. Both were college mates studying in an engineering college at Mysore. Ram was from a town named Kaivara. Denver was a typical high class Banda from Mysore. Both were the best of friends. Their wavelengths matched and thoughts blended perfectly. Ram was very studious always trying to save his pocket money, concentrate on studies and score well in exams. Den however was not hardworking infact he hardly worked. Happy go lucky creature and enjoyed playing pranks… Den busy with his dozen girl friends hardly got any time for studying!!! Ram was always there to guide Den during exams. Help him with his assignments and project work... 3 Years passed by and finally campus recruitment process started. GSM was their dream company. Preparations and more preparations. Aptitude books, grammar books and what not. Den too made a point to study hard for campus. Now or never!! They tried to digest each and every word from the books. Of course their hard work paid. Both were selected in GSM. Not to mention their happiness was beyond description.
Ram’s parents were overjoyed with his success. Sweets were distributed to everyone in Kaivara. First person in their family was about to enter the IT world. It was no doubt commendable. His sincerity and struggle was appreciated. Den’s celebration was a bit different, party in one of the costliest resorts with lots of stuff to eat and drink.
“Ram, we have reached.Dont think much. Everything will be fine”
“hmm.Hope so”
Den’s flat- completely messy place. “Tea??” asked den
“Give me anything. Poison is fine too”.
“For god’s sake ram don’t behave like a kid. Think with a cold head. You have the potential to get any other job, much better than GSM dammed”
“It’s easy to say Den. You don’t bother but I do. It won’t matter even if you don’t have a job left. But it does matter for me. You don’t have any responsibilities. My parents, my wife are completely dependent on me. It hurts den. I loved this company, thought it was my second family, worked day and night. Not fair den not at all…”
“I can understand dude. Just chill. Sip your tea, You will feel better.”

Belgaum IT expo 09: your place to be for IT products
5:21 PM Posted by ukmad
bout IT expo being held in so many cities, many of you must have gone there and now your chance to be a part of it in Belgaum at the Millennium Gardens on 25TH,26TH,27TH JAN 2009.This event is being organized by “Concept Exhibitors, Hubli” and “Rotary Club of Venugram-Belgaum”. Concept Exhibitors have already proved their expertise in organizing IT Events by successfully orchestrating First Ever ITEXPO@Hubli-Dharwad.
This IT EXPO-09 is focused on creating the end customer awareness about various IT products available today under one roof. From the past as many years of IT selling in Belgaum, there have been a lot of single brand IT events/carnivals/road shows organized which concentrate on only one particular brand. This decreases the public influx as people loyal only to that brand visit.
In ITEXPO-09 all the major brands will be at the customer disposal to choose from and decide. The customer can have a hand on experience with all brand products and discuss about product features and pricing in detail with the company representatives. All the participants will fight tooth and nail to sell their respective products on the basis of quality and competitive price. It is up to the company representative to sell his product X to a customer who is loyal to a brand Y. The whole concept of multi brand exhibit will increase the public influx to a huge extent.The core focus of ITEXPO-09 will be on Notebooks and desktops apart from awareness about WiFi technology as the entire event will be in a WiFi Network. The event will also have stalls for display of notebook accessories, Software and computer components. There will be a stall for customers seeking finance options and computer furniture.
The event will have a LCD Projection at the centre of the Hall which will run the entire participant companies profiles in a cyclic manner during the duration of the event. The customers will be educated as to what are the latest technologies.
All in all, ITEXPO-09 aims to bridge the gap between the customer and the companies and create a win-win situation for both.
If someone is interested in exhibiting their products they could contact: Mr Sandeep Tekriwal, Starnet Computers, Belgaum, and Mobile: 9986506184
E-mail: rtnsandeep@gmail.com
So remember the dates 25TH, 26TH, 27TH JAN 2009 @ Millennium Gardens, Shukurwar Peth, Tilakwadi, Belgaum.

Govt plans park for IT majors:Belgaum miffed
9:57 AM Posted by ukmad
"The IT and BT Minister Katta Subramanya Naidu said that the government is setting up a sprawling IT park on 2,000 acres around the City to create the much-needed space for IT firms to expand their activities. The government has plans to develop IT parks in Tier-II cities like Belgaum. In Belgaum, the IT park will be developed on 200 acres of land."
To the Minister with all respect: For the past 2 years nothing has been done at the Desur IT park. There are no takers for it also. Then why is that in all your press conferences it is mentioned that Tier II cities will get IT parks. All the ministers and the govt say this but nothing seems to happen on the ground.
