Bangalore - Day 4

After three days of internal discussions on projects and process, today is the day that we will formalise the realignment of some of the Bangalore operations.

This includes merging different elements of the business into a single existing entity rather than duplicating cost and overhead. It also reflects the fact that HBI Software is to become much more focused around product, as opposed to third party outsourced development. The launch of Pingar and other opportunities in New Zealand and the UK make such a re-alignment necessary. So it’s a second meeting with Rajesh of CBS, our accountants, who will formally begin to take the necessary legal steps to evolve this process.

Later, the focus of the office, and much of India, will turn to The Oval and the final test match between India and England. This trip has been a bit of a revelation. The fervour I normally experience from Indian cricket fans (most of the country) is missing. The shock of India’s early departure from the Cricket World Cup in the West Indies still hangs over the nation.

Still, if India do lose, all is not lost. Sania Mirza, the rising star of Indian tennis last night beat Martina Hingis in the East West Bay Classic last night. Anyone for rackets then…………
