7 Years gone! May 13, 2008

Monday, 14-May-2001 – the day I joined CI. I am completing 7 years tomorrow.

Going back to 2001, immediately after attending the viva-voce for my M C A (Master of Computer Applications) project, I joined CI. In fact I got the offer well before my viva-voce mainly due to the project success – I did that @ CI. After going thru’ my project, Mr.Ramani offered me the job.

I joined as a Project Trainee in 2001, then I got a double promotion and became Senior Software Engineer – Grade 1…..then Grade 2, Systems Engineer, Sr. Systems Engineer, Associate Consultant and now “Consultant”. Now more frequently referred as “Growth Manager”.

Its been a journey with challenges, experiments, freedom and joy.

Looking back, what I have achieved in the 7 years, 3 top things,
1. Mobile SalesPerson – our product
2. Team size from 2 to 20
3. Positioned my team in both Mobile & QB segments

May be my targets are too far away from my site now, but still I want to take a pause and enjoy this moment.

At this point I have to thank many people who have helped me, especially few in the list below.

• Nirmala
• Mahadevan
• Manick
• Sundararaman
• Venkatapathy
• Prabakar
• Srinivasan
• Rajakumar
• Ravishankar
• Thilak
• Ramani & Sarada without whom I wouldn’t have this opportunity

I thank all my fellow CIIANs, my team and my ex. team mates.

Hope I can achieve more in the coming years with all your wishes.
