Indian Software Industry – Simply Unfair

A couple of my friends recently joined Wipro. They had been waiting to join since June and had been recruited in Aug 2004. The surprise that awaited them has left them feeling cheated and heartbroken.

The high amount of intake into Wipro this year has forced them to take their new employees in batches. The batches constitute of about 40 students each and the batch undergoes the entire training together.

All Wipro Employees are required to come a couple of days before their date of joining(mostly on the thu/fri before the joining date) to fill the forms for the Bank statements and the bond.
After filling the forms it was pointed out to them that the entire batch constitued Electronics and Telecommunication students… The person who was making the announcement went on to explain that since most EC and TC students are not “comfortable” with Software development they would temporarily be put in a “Tech Support” field.

One Night @ The Call Center – A Review

ON@TCC
Rating: **
(Lowest: * Highest: *****)

Chetan Bhagat does it again. A simple novel about India and most importantly Indians. Sadly the similarity with his first novel ends there. This book is slow and definately not the “cannot keep it down” type. To be fair to Chetan the book is good and does tell a good story, A story worth reading and probably even learning something from. Frankly I was willing to give this book a *** rating but the last page of the Epilogue cost the book a * and made me fell like throwing the book out a window.

I have marked a section of this review as SPOILERS… if you want to read this book desperately just skip that part…

The story is about 6 people who work at the call center, set in one night. The catch is they get a call. (I know ur going wtf dont call centers get calls all the time). Well this one was from God..
