Day 4 - The IT Crowd





Day 4 and here we go again! The team's all set to go out a conquer the IT space today! After a good breakfast and some much needed rest,  we were off for the day's meetings. First stop Tata Consultancy Services (TCS)


Birthday Boy Essan (I think he's had better!)

Ex-TCS employee Samarth feeling nostalgic

If you don't know about TCS (first, come out from whichever rock you've been under) it's one of the largest IT consulting firms in the world and one of the largest companies listed on the Bombay Stock Exchange by market cap. It was cool to see aside from the banking and regulation side of things, how technology is trying to increase the reach of financial inclusion.


Thanks to the Team from TCS!

Our next and last meeting of the day was at Wipro another major IT player. We were given a presentation by Mr. Datta from the HR side which gave us real insight into the values a Wiproite espouses. The campus was spectacular in Electronic catering to 35,000 employees (seriously!) and plush with bio-diversity parks and a butterfly garden (that's right a butterfly garden!).



Bangalore's known for its rock scene so we went to check out a battle of the bands at the Hard Rock Cafe.





We also had a special guest, Savinay's brother Manav who turned 26 today (feeling old yet Savinay?!).
