In Nagpur

I reached early morning in Nagpur. Arijay came to pick me from station. I went to his home first. Over there I met Montu Sharma. Montu is a very sharp person. He teaches Operations Research and Accountacy to MBA students. After breakfast and a bit of rest I went to the office of SIS Infosystems . Arijay is CEO of SIS Infosystems.There I met his software development team. Most of them are IITians. This company has really very dedicated and hard working software developers. The software development takes place under guidance of Dr Parag Deshpande who is an Engineer from IIT Mumbai and is Professor in Visvesveraya Regional Engineering College. He is author of many best selling books on Oracle.

It really feels very good to work with such a knowledgeable people. I received training on the new software which is made by using Neural Networks. This software is really very powerful than which was made previously by SIS team. As our company (zero.com) is in JV with SIS Infosystems, I had to look after the Installation and support of this software along with Arijay.

I received training under Sachin Brahmankar and others. Sachin is master of Java and considered as the most intelligent in SIS team. He is very cool and easy going man. Vasudha taught me the complexities of the user interface of the software. Even she is very sharp girl and is responsible for the entire development of User Interface. Praveena looks after the development of data loading utility which plays a major role in giving accurate results. After whole day of work and training I went to cocktail party of Arijays brother (with him.) It was good party. Since I am a teetotaler…I kept sipping Coke and Mirinda whole night while most the people boozed.

After 3 day stay in Nagpur I came back to Delhi on 9th Feb. Next day ie. On 10th Feb, I had to go to Eli Lilly Pharmaceuticals to install the software and give its demo.
