India and rightly so with all the recent developments. If you can recollect from your memory, you had arranged a session on Global Development Centre from Dipendra Moitra. Is there anyway I can get some base framework material on setting up 'Extended Development Centre'. I have been reading your blog since I came to know about it. Thanks Dhananjay 98600-93921 Hello Sharad,

Is there anyway I can get some base framework material on setting up ‘Extended Development Centre’.

What's more, I have also subsribed, though I find no activity since July last year. And yes, before I log off, wish you a very happy birthday. Vikas. Hi,

The idea of offshore appears lucrative because the labor in India is dirt cheap. However, not able to separate R&#38;D project into intelligent design pieces and cheap manufacturing pieces is what is leading to frustrations. Even if one is able to split them, the success will be difficult. Despite cheap labor, India hasn't been successful even in manufacturing, China is generations ahead of India. India is a very complex country with a complex culture. Enforcing discipline and controlling quality is a next to impossible task in India while they are relatively much easier in China. In summary you get much lower ROI.

One of my favorite has been Dr. Alex Osterwalder now at Arvetica. http://business-model-design.blogspot.com/ You might want to look at his work on Business Model Design and Innovation... He proves empericaly that by designing and innovating business model, business growth can become non-linear. Regards, Raja. Sharad,

I think Sharad does enjoy and respect nature. What he is talking about is the joy of learning/discovering nature. It's so fascinating. For that, Internet is the most easy and convenient one. (And I am sure this pursuit is not lonely but in solitude.) This is more of a response to John and Anuja’s comments. I think Sharad does enjoy and respect nature.

I was a nokia fan till now. I beleive its not number but the quality makes some thing good. As phaniraj mentioned there are lots of compaies already provding the features that IPhone poromise to deliver, but can any one compete with the touch screen functionality and intelligent touch screen key pad of IPhone. Most of the features like Email( I think its far better than Blackberry). I owns iPhone and it is the best phone I ever used. I was a nokia fan till now.
