Well, here’s a little about me on the professional front. I manage the entire technology of a small corporate merchandising firm. People (including my family) ask me, why is an IIM grad managing technology in a small firm? Aren’t they bred for big corporate?
Answer is simple. Do what brings a smile to your face at the end of the day. Web Retailing it is. Now, managing something which always tends to move forward out of your hands is turning out to be pretty tricky.
If you can manage to foresee programmer hiring, feature roll-outs, unexpected leaves, budget constraints, server crashes, everything, and a lot more … believe me you definitely are not prepared for light outages!! Hail the city of Hyderabad :-).
What should happen when the lights do go out? Well, somehow since the computers are not working, it becomes a technology issue.
The day the lights went out, an IIM grad became an electrician.
