The very first computer in an educational institution in India came to IIT Kanpur in 1964. As an auxiliary student staff of the computer center, of IITK, my duties included developing applications, help researchers to debug their programs. I also modified Forgo compiler and assembled IBSYS for IBM 7044.After graduation, I joined the ORG in 1968. Here I was the leader of team to develop software for Market Research and large scale Data Processing Applications. I was deputed to lead a team of Programmers and Analysts to Interdata S.A. Madrid, Spain. ORG Systems, an offshoot of ORG was formed In 1977, to design and develop Computer Systems indigenously. I was given the responsibility to head the Software Development group. My team of over 50 professionals developed the entire System Software. At that point of time our Computers used 8 bit Intel chips, yet they were able to beat many 16 bit models produced by others in benchmark tests conducted by RBI, LIC and many private organizations. I represented India with this Computer System in Systems 81 at Munich, Germany. It was a highly gratifying experience to be a leader of this historical development in our country.When the PCs arrived, it was not possible to survive these indigenous computers. I left ORG Systems in 1987 to start my own consultancy setup in the name of Information Systems. Here we provided Consultancy services, developed Software, did Education and Training. My clients included USAID, NCC of UK; Population Council of New York; Ford Foundation and many others. Presently, I am working as a Consultant CTO with Helios Solutions. Here I have been guiding the development of applications in the area of medical research, eGovernance and web based applications.Specialties: Technical & people management; reviewing development and technical writing.
