Oprah’s Debt Diet

I was watching now in Star World “Oprah’s Debt Diet” show. Though targeted towards America’s Shopping and Credit Card Addicts, I felt it was very relevant to India and other Asian markets which are growing in Credit Card usage. Many people I know don’t know about Credit Card charges and interest rates.


The show and the related website gives lot of useful and easy steps, like the one I use most of the month (when I can) – I pay always more than my monthly due for my credit cards. This way I use my cards more as a Debit Card and the reason I use my credit card like the “Citibank Jet Airways VISA Card” is more for the JP Frequent Flyer miles I get out of it.


 

Microsoft Executive Summit 2006


Microsoft Executive Summit is an Annual event organized by Microsoft India – in this key enterprise and government customers (CTOs) of MS are invited for a 2 day intensive business conference. Speakers include Microsoft Employees, Partners and Customers worldwide. Attendees and Exhibitors are only by Invite from Microsoft India.


This year the event happened yesterday and today at Mumbai’s Renaissance Convention centre. Microsoft invited this year my company “Vishwak” to show case our Mobility story. In our booth we demonstrated our solution “MCDS” (Mobile Content Delivery System), MSN Hutch WAP Portal which we are running for last 3 years+ and our technology that makes content from “Sharepoint Server” and “Commerce Server” available in Mobile Devices. We support close to over 300 devices that are sold in India/Asia.  It was exciting to be part of the event.


We had many visitors to our booth including Microsoft India’s MD Neelam Dhawan (Thanks Neelam for this photo).
