What are other members upto?

Going by the industry and companies of the members who have signed up so far, over 30% (ie 1 in 3)have changed the industry itself. We now cover Venture Capital, Pharma & Biotech, Investment Banking, New Media, Energy, Education, Insurance, Telecom etc. 30% are with start-ups or SMBs...guess that was one of the main reasons for leaving Infy. It would be great if we can feature a few alumni each month. We'll do that once we cross 500 members...which is not too far by the way.

Alumni Business Promotion

Many of the Infy alumni are either running start-ups or in leading small companies, which could benefit with more visibility.

So we want to feature some of these companies in here on the right side, and we will rotate them monthly. We have a couple of entries already.

Please put a note here if you want to feature yourself or your company. Cheers!

Alumni Updates

Kaveesh Chawla, who spent 8 years at Infy (in SBUx and ES) before going for his MBA at UMich, Ann Arbor, will be taking up a senior product management role at Amazon in Seattle. He is also among the few people who did an Infosys project in South America (Chile). All the best Kaveesh!

Kamal Garg, who was with CENA (yes, that org structure was a long time back) is now NIIT in New York as a senior Engagement Manager. He has continued to build expertise in the Insurance vertical, and has just added another large account. Cheers!

Binu Balachandran, an old alumni of the 'SBU era' will be completing his PhD from Columbia Univ in a month or two. His interest in Finance has just continued to grow from the IIM Lucknow days. He will be joining Lehman Brothers in New York. Great show!
