Excellent INDIA Trip

Just got back from a 15 days India trip. It was quite hectic and tiring, but very fulfilling. I am letting things happen after a detailed planning and most importantly keeping aside my ego. All that is making things work as if everyone is working for me.

First of all, it went smooth as much as it could at Apotheacries in Delhi, then had a wonderful siblings reunion at Nagpur. The bonus in Nagpur was celebrating birthday of bedridden and ill Birju chacha, an old friend of our father. We saw and were told about his conditions transformation due to our presence.

Then it was a hectic, satisfying and very fruitful trip with Solvay people. We visited 12 companies in Mumbai, Chennai, Bangalore, Kolkata and Delhi. Each one was better than the other in its ambition, preparation, people and hunger to succeed. The vistors said that the message to them is clear "Either cooperate with or get trampelled over by the INDIAN TSUNAMI of Quality and skilled providers at lucrative costs".

The icing on the cake during the trip was short but very good sight seeing trips in Kolkata and Delhi. The newly built Akshardham temple at Delhi is truly much better than even the famous Taj.

The Solvay did praise the VALUE ADD provided by Aagami.

Again I had a trailing trip in Hyderabad, Nagpur and Delhi, of one day each. In Hyderabad quite good interaction with Yash people, both Team and the management; saw the reality of Vignesh, Felt the GROWTH of the city and experienced Dr. Aditya Jain's position in and the Indian School of Business. Another good thing had been that I was able to meet with Raghavaiah and also Pravi.

Then on at Nagpur spent quality time with Ma, Babuji and met with Somalwar High School Trustees. The best was my interaction with 9th class students at that school. Later in the evening was able to meet with Real Estate people along with Shailendra Chaudhary. He seems to be a person, who could do some thing for Nagpur First.

Last leg at Delhi was fruitful in resolving the understanding with Apothecaries. And also talked to all possible near and dear ones on Phone.
