New to Patni

I recently joined Patni Computers as Sr. Director of Solutions. One of the main reasons I took the job was because the position offers me an exciting blend of technology and business – not only do I get to shape the technology strategy by creating and marketing the service offerings around key emerging technologies such as SaaS, Open Source, Web 2.0, Virtualization, etc, I also get the chance to be involved with running the ISV business unit – creating off-shore teams, participating in the procurement, training and mentoring efforts, identifying key customers to go after to grow revenues, working cohesively with sales and pre-sales to formulate strategies and help with sales cycles, initiate marketing efforts such public speaking, publishing articles and much more. In addition, I get to work in new verticals such as ISVs, medical devices and health care, consumer electronics and others which will be a nice addition to my background in financial services, retail and automotive.

Coming from a hard core technology consulting background, this will be a welcome change and I look forward to taking on a more business focused, yet highly technical role. I will use this blog to share my thoughts with you on both technology and business related issues. Each topic that I write about will start off at a high level introduction and in subsequent topics, I’ll drill down to the details, best practices, etc.
