As the NASSCOM India Leadership Forum (NILF) convenes from Feb 9^th to Feb 11^th this year, it gives me great pleasure to be present in Mumbai for the 18^th edition of this annual conference as NASSCOM’s official online partner. iridium Interactive got this status for the third consecutive year. We have partnered with NASSCOM to create a SOCIAL Networking product, called NASSCOM Connect, to add value to every NASSCOM NILF delegate’s experience. NASSCOM Connect is a social networking platform which is a combination of Linked-in and Facebook, that will help attendees and delegates to maintain ties and continue their dialogue in the virtual space. A unique platform, the NASSCOM Connect enables the delegates to touch base with each other before the event kicks off on February 9th at Mumbai this year.

I completely look forward to this epic forum since it is undoubtedly Asia’s largest leadership conference with a diverse mix of inspirational experts from the industry. Flooded by the outpour of registrations, NILF boasts of a record registration of 1650 delegates this year from countries all over the world and India. This is going to be one opulent event with the stalwarts of the IT industry who will be present there.

Exactly this time around last year when the economy was caught in the clutches of recession the theme of the event was mainly focussed on how to tackle the downturn. This year holds particular importance as the industry recovers from the financial slowdown, we look forward to new times, new dimensions, new outlooks and the opportunity to explore new directions which is also the theme of this event this year ‘New Times, New Ideas, New Directions’

It’s once again the time of the year where we have to pull up our socks in all its literal sense to face the mother of all battles – the IIPL. With the first season being a run away hit, the organizers this time have come forward with even more enthusiasm indicating that the best way to move forward in these tough times is to have fun. The result is the second season of IIPL. The expectations were soaring high so did the war between the participating teams overtaking the rising temperature outside. The scene at the venue was absolutely electrifying with the team captains taking an oath to decimate the opposition till the last run is made or till the last wicket is taken. Suddenly the scene resembled a professional cricket match. All this action was witnessed at the P.G. College of Physical Education, Gagan Mahal on Saturday, the 7th of February, 2009. Supporters of the two teams sporting funky looks pepped up the environment. Players were seen warming up while the clock ticked 10. Calling the two captains for the toss was Mr.Vikram who took charge of the proceedings and asked one of the captains to toss the coin. Afzal won the toss and elected to bat first. Each team comprised of 12 players, tad different from the default contingent of 11 players that we usually have.

Meanwhile, the players took their respective places as marshaled by Sriram- the fielding team captain. In came the openers from Afzal team, Ram at striker’s end and Ravi at the non-striker’s end. Vikram started the proceedings officially by uttering “the game begins” in his usual shrill tone. Afzal team started off things well maintaining a healthy run rate throughout the middle overs, despite losing quick wickets in the middle overs managed to make full use of the chances that were offered by Sriram’s team. At last Afzal’s team managed to put 114 from 12 overs on the board-an achievable if not an impossible total by all means.

Then came the turn of Sriram’s team to give a fitting reply to the huge target posted by Afzal team. This time the openers were Sadappa taking guard at one end and Linga reddy as his partner. Things started well until Sadappa found the fielder in long on off the bowling of Noor. Then came our captain of the batting team and CEO of our company Mr.Sriram to the crease. He managed to pile up some quick runs until the bye runner for Sriram ran him out in trying to take a quick single. Despite being offered too many extras in the form of wides, Sriram’s team had only managed 90 runs from their allotted overs. Afzal team won and stood as the deserving team.

One thing is for sure that in events such as these, employees earn themselves a deserving break from the hectic work and get to know about their colleagues from close quarters. So thanks to all iridiumites for making this event a grand success proving that they are game for anything.
