03:11:00 PM, a moment in Chennai

Every second you are up to something. A thought, a scene, a trip et la. It is quite logical that everyone else is also up to something in that same second. It is unfortunate that all of us can’t exists in the same space and time. But hey! We all exists at the same time…
Chennai - such a vast city, with millions of people. Take a deep breathe… {pause}… in that very pause a million things have happened (some significant, some not), a million things have changed (some for the good, some for the bad).
i am curious to find out what all happens in one second in this city. If you are, join me this 3rd November, 2007.

Now Google in Black

Your Simple shift form the normal goolge to Black would make a big difference in the environment …. Spread this word across and save the energy…….



Thanks to several Representah’s for the heads up - we’ve been hearing about BLACKLE for a couple of days now - the so-called “eco-friendly version of Google” - we finally got the time to check it out and research it a bit - the email that’s circulating explains Blackle as the following:

For those worried with energy consumption and all its downsides… When your screen is white, being it an empty word page, or the Google page, your computer consumes 74 watts, and when its black it consumes only 59 watts. So
a man named Mark Ontkush wrote an article about the energy saving that would be achieved if Google had a black screen, taking in account the huge number of page views, according to his calculations, 750 mega watts/hour per year
would be saved. In a response to this article Google created a black version of its search engine, called Blackle, with the exact same functions as the white version, but with a lower energy consumption, check it out.

Genpact buys Citigroup Global Services for $700m

Atlast the cat on the wall story ended for the $700M. (Source times of india)..

CGSL sold for $700 M
But Answers for the below Question????? Priceless
So Who AM I (Citi or Ganpact)

MUMBAI/BANGALORE: India’ largest BPO company and the NYSE-listed Genpact is said to have won the race to buy out Citi group’s call centres in India. The deal was clinched after a week of final negotiations for around $700 million, according to industry sources.

"No comment and (there is) nothing accurate in the rumours at all," said Genpact president and CEO Pramod Bhasin, who, along with senior executives, is stationed in New York to stitch up the deal.

The final leg of negotiations had just two suitors — Genpact and Mumbai-based Firstsource — the only large third party BPOs who specialise in banking and insurance processes. Though both companies are said to have quoted around $700 million each for the buyout, Genpact is said to have won the deal on its ability to raise the required finances easily.

With its win, Genpact will re-affirm its position as India’s largest BPO by a big margin. The Citi acquisition will add around 10,000 agents to its current strength of over 20,000 executives spread over eight cities in India.

When Citi first put its BPO arm, Citi Global Services on sale in June, investment bankers expected a valuation of over $1 billion for the entire business. Later, after the subprime crisis, BPO stock have been trading weak in US and shares of firms like EXL and WNS have fallen considerably. It is, however, not known if Citi has divested its stake in the BPO arm entirely or has retained a part of it.

Sabya Sachi Satpathy, senior director, Neo-IT, an offshore advisory firm, said the deal will set a new trend in the market. "We will see captives increasingly exploring JVs and buy-outs and third party outsourcing options to optimise the cost base and to enhance flexibility."
