And perhaps the belated realization by this US loving UPA II Government that the current US administration may have greater number of US citizens of Indian origin but Obama is bad news for India whichever way you look at it.

I see only Thought Leaders and possibly, at a stretch, a Coach here in this team. Where are the Rainmakers and Ninjas in the four agencies which make up this DDMB- you need technologists drawn from a wider industry canvas, including worthies from the private sector. Otherwise this will be just another Board.......seen many, one more this....KPM Dashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13605376761833426161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8726844009873922462.post-79124672351269820332014-03-23T03:45:03.768-07:002014-03-23T03:45:03.768-07:00Rivals ?
