Let's be Good Listeners

I was extremely fortunate to have grown up listening to folktales and family history from my grandparents and parents, a tradition which you can hardly find these days among families. Since then I was always inquisitive while the narration of the story to know 'what next?' I can proudly say that even now I am lucky to hear tales, but not folktales rather real life success stories behind each successful company, when I meet each entrepreneur here and in the Valley. Since the very beginning of my career, I had the opportunity to interact with many entrepreneurs; both in the U.S. and India. It's quite heartening to hear each one's story — different from each other's because their passion, vision and energy are so varied. Probably being a good listener, you always get to learn new things and will have some "key take aways" from each story.
We bring to you the story of InterraIT, a leading provider of end to end life cycle solutions and services and the man behind the company's success, Asok K Laha, Founder, President and CEO. With the secret ingredient 'Passion', he built the company from the ground up and took it to a position where it is today a known name in the mobility and Supply Chain Management domain. Read about what makes the company stand out in the crowded sphere for IT Services
Also in this issue we present to you '10 Most Promising Retail Software and Solution Providers' a list of 10 high value retail software solution companies in India that are winning over CIOs and in turn driving growth for retailers across India.
