First thing first - about me

Hello There.

Greetings!

I know I am kind of late in the blogging word. I had been planning to blog for quite some time now. But I guess it was not to happen to date. Anyway, better late than never and as they say Everything has it's own time, so why rush!!

So dear friends, as some of you may already know me, I am Dinesh Madne, working with a software development company (L&T Infotech) in India for a long time (10 exact years today) as a Senior Manager, and currently placed in USA with one of our clients. During these 10 years, I have worked on numerous projects with teams of varying sizes from 4 to 50 and each project was a learning in itself. Have met plenty of people and have made friends and foes on the way. But the bottom lines remains the same - got to learn something from each project.

Whoever I am today is all because of my associations. I have been very lucky to meet some very good people. I wont name anyone here as it would be injustice to others. But each of my friends have made me in some way or other. However the credit of shaping my professional life goes to one of my coligues Mohan Bharatia. I worked with him on my first project and he told me one very simple sentence (we call it Guru Mantra in our native language) - "One day you are going to be a manager anyway, so why not act like one from today." That was 10 years ago, and since then I have never let that thought go off my mind.

The philosophy of my life is very simple. A. Live with principles (and there is a laundry list of principles :) ) B. Do not let the Value of life let down C. Give your best in everything you do. D. After all your life is nothing without your loved ones, so always make sure you care for them. Done! The four walls of my house called life. And there is no roof so that I can see the sky all the time - rain or shine!

The goal is to be a successful Entrepreneur. It is one of those dream I am sure will come true. The thought has been lingering on my mind for quite some time, and it is only a matter of time when I take that plunge in the corporate world. So let us just wait and watch when exactly firm, based on the simple principle of Customer Satisfaction, emerges as one of the best places to work।


I guess you may be knowing pretty much stuff about me by now. So let us shake hands until we meet again. And as they say in my home country India, Do come by and think as if it is your home!
