GOING Onsite !!! It is being featured as an achivement....
But we need to plan this travel to make this as a simple move....
1. Reconfirm your Ticket and Hotel booking : Its always better to reconfirm your flight/ Train and Hotel booking. Just to keep update.
2. Change Currency( INR to Required) - This needs to be done once you reach your destination or any other recognised center But NOT IN THE AIRPORT.Airport guys will charge over and above the marginal rate and include Taxes.
3. Travel light with less baggage- Baggage might cause you to make other arrangements also. Make it less and light. Pack only the needful and kept shopping at airport /onsite as exceptional.
4. Make arragnement for the City Map,Transporation well before you reach your destination. Keep track of your nearby Station / Bus Stop and Landmark.
5 .Look closely at your check in and check out time of hotel and also Immigration process at the airport.
6. Always Carry Copy of Passport / Visa while you are out in Town ( Out of INDIA).
Dont carry your originals unless you are in visit to some government officialss.
Have a great trip....

India IT Trend and Business Plan
India to produce more MNCs than other countries
India is expected to overturn China by 2024 as the principal source of new MNCs from the rising markets, with over 2,200 domestic firms forecasted to open overseas operations over the next 15 years.The key drivers for this are the relative increase in both investment intensity and openness that the Indian economy offers.
The report says the number of companies from rising markets choosing to set up operations abroad has increased in the past five years, partly due to the rapid speed of globalization and the revolution in information and communication technologies. This trend is expected to continue over the next 15 years, as new MNCs from emerging economies rise in prominence on the global economic stage.
Indian and Chinese companies would lead the way in seeking new markets abroad, which will be joined by companies from Singapore, Russia, Malaysia and South Korea, who will continue to produce a large number of new MNCs.
The global consultancy major used econometric techniques to project the number of new multinationals arising from a sample of 15 emerging economies over the next 15 years. The countries analyzed are Argentina, Brazil, Chile, China, Hungary, India, Malaysia, Mexico, Poland, Romania, Russia, Singapore, South Korea, Ukraine and Vietnam.

Hiring of Non Technies for Technical Work
With the new trend being set up by IT firms to hire non-techies to do techies' work, it seems that working hard at engineering colleges for 3-4 years to enter this field is worthless. In the last few months, it is noticed that many of the Indian IT companies such as TCS, Wipro and Infosys are turning towards non engineering graduates for the same work that engineering graduates have been doing for long.
There are employees currently working with Indian IT firms as a Software Engineer after completing Art graduation degree and a year certificate course in computer programming. "If it is possible to train one person in just six months or one year then why engineers are taught for four years?"
So the big question - will these hiring of non-techies affect the quality of work? It will affect the quality. Normally an IT graduate undergoes 3-4 years of training to become a professional. If that education is given to a non-IT graduate in just one year or six months, it's obvious that they won't be taught everything due to which their basics won't be strong and they won't be able to perform as nicely as a properly trained IT graduate can do. Even with techies, project success rate is less than 25 percent. With non techies, they are intending to smash it to zero."
But all these firms who are hiring these non-techies believe that quality of the work will not be affected by hiring non-engineering graduates, as these non-techies are being hired for testing software applications and managing computer infrastructure, in order to do more with fewer staff and at lower wages than computer engineers.
It is believed that from nearly 10 percent of their current workforce, non-engineering graduates could account for nearly 20-25 percent of the staff at companies such as TCS, Wipro and HCL, over the next one to two years. The IT company like Cognizant already has almost 20 percent of its global workforce who are non-engineering graduates. "Hiring non-techies might work for some of the IT companies, but as far as Symphony Services is concerned; our work requires the expertise and knowledge of technical engineers. Candidates from non engineering background do not fit into our framework of expertise required and hence the hiring model."It's not right way to build any company. One company gains more value by differentiation of knowledge come from competition."
Some of the experts feel that basically this step is being taken by companies to cut the costs and increase the employment across the country. Normally, an Indian IT firm pays Rs. 2-4 lakh per annum to an engineering graduate, but when they hire any non-engineering graduate, they just pay Rs.80,000 - Rs.1,50,000. It's not everything about cutting cost. In the last few years, skill mix has changed because of a fundamental shift in sourcing behaviour - customers sourcing a broader range of services, including BPO/KPO.
Now, it is to be seen that these IT firms understand the real value of an engineering graduate or keep hiring non-techies in near future also, as it is possible for only these IT biggies to train non-techies to do techies' work, not the smaller firms.
