  • Rise of the Global Entrepreneur: Leveraging the India-U.S
    STVP-2005-010 [Rev. Feb 2, 2006] Rise of the Global Entrepreneur: Leveraging the India-U.S. High-Tech Corridor It was a bright warm day in Bangalore on January 15th, 2005. The aftermath of the catastrophic Tsunami disaster was still unfolding and people all around the Indian Ocean were grappling with the uncertainty of life. The high-tech industry in India however hadn’t missed a beat; the Mumbai stock exchange was still healthy and the average Bangalore resident was contemplating new ways to succeed in India’s burgeoning high-tech economy. Kumar Ramachandran1 knew that his life had changed forever. He had just resigned from his position as Managing Director at Applied Materials, India and was ready to start a company of his own. The future would be full of new challenges he thought. As he sat in his chauffeured car on his two hour, 30 mile commute, he started making a list of people to call. He was glad to be following his heart. After all, life was too short to not pursue your passion. Although Kumar did not know what awaited him on the road ahead, he was determined to leverage his past experience and network of working relationships to launch a new venture of his own. Given his professional background and his knowledge of the new areas of growth in India’s services industry, he firmly believed that the best opportunities for him laid within the realm of engineering services outsourcing. India had pioneered the outsourcing of Information Technology Enabled Services (ITES) and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) starting in the 1990s.

  • Lookout! (V108)
    Crossing the Digital Divide (v108) “Lookout!” by Joseph Feigon for the Observer Scott McNealy is an American businessman. He is most famous for co-founding the computer technology company Sun Microsystems in 1982 along with Vinod Khosla, Bill Joy and Andy Bechtolsheim. Oracle Corporation (Larry Ellison’s database client) purchased Sun Microsystems in 2010. Mr. McNealy was one of the relative success stories in the early days of the Internet. Sun Microsystems built exceptional servers, and was a market leader with their Unix operating system as well as their corporate support of the Open Source movement, including Linux. Sun ‘cuda been’ a contender. Lookout was McNealy's inverted name for Outlook, Microsoft's e-mail client. McNealy says you need to "look out" for trouble when using Outlook. McNealy frequently cites Outlook's well documented security problems. He says that to get the most functionality out of Outlook you'll also need Microsoft's Exchange Server. But the combination, and the Microsoft- only mail and calendaring protocol required to connect them (MAPI), is yet another example of how Microsoft locks businesses into proprietary technologies that eliminate choice and flexibility. Microsoft is still here, Sun Microsystems is not. Proprietary software continues to dominate the retail customer (Windows, anyone?), as well as many big companies. Those success stories in the Open Source space build applications on an Operating System (Linux, BSD, NetBSD, FreeBSD, etc.) that is open, meaning, free to you and me. Open, as in, anyone with the desire and/or ability can review each line of coding that makes things work.

  • A QUIET EDUCATION REVOLUTION BEGINS in SILICON VALLEY From
    A QUIET EDUCATION REVOLUTION BEGINS IN SILICON VALLEY From a small office along Highway 101 in Palo Alto, Neeru Khosla is quietly trying to upend the way teachers teach and students learn. It's a tall order for a woman who is not a politician, educator or administrator. Instead you can call her a crusader -- a crusader who has adopted the urgency, innovation and talent typical of a Silicon Valley startup in an effort to propel K-12 education into the 21st century. At a time when public school budgets are in tatters and larger classroom sizes are making it tougher for teachers to provide individual help, Khosla's nonprofit CK-12 Foundation holds the promise of a double-barreled solution: online digital textbooks in primarily math and science, and exercises that are customizable, adorned with videos and other interactive features, and which cost schools nothing. Teachers nationwide have downloaded textbooks and other material from the nonprofit's website, passing them along to millions of students, by CK-12's estimate. "It's like going from the scroll to the paper and pen to the computer, " Khosla says. "If we don't give students what they need to succeed, we're going to lose them." The project means that all schools, no matter how poor, can afford educational material that engages students whether they are hungry for more advanced work or struggling with the basics. The books, which can be downloaded to computers and mobile devices, help students build their reading and language skills even as they teach math and science concepts.

Research publications reflect the views of the authors and do not necessarily reflect the views of the staff, officers, or Board of Directors of the Public Policy Institute of California. Foreword In the 1940s, the author Carey McWilliams coined a phrase to characterize California’s penchant for innovation and experimentation. He called it “the edge of novelty” and remarked that “Californians have become so used to the idea of experimentation—they have had to experiment so often—that they are psychologically prepared to try anything.” Waves of migrants and immigrants over the past 150 years of California history have been attracted to our “edge of novelty,” and they have consistently found California a place that fosters creativity and the entrepreneurial spirit. In this report, AnnaLee Saxenian documents one of the latest, and most dramatic, examples of California as a location that attracts immigrant entrepreneurs.

I’m Doug Fairbairn, and I’m sitting here with Uday Kapoor. And we are interviewing Atiq Raza. Atiq is a long-time pioneer in the world-- in Silicon Valley in a wide range of technologies from microprocessors, communications devices, and other related things. And we’re here to learn his story and how it all came to be. So, welcome, Atiq, glad to have you with us. Raza: Thank you so much. Fairbairn: So, what we’d like to do is step back in time to where you were born. What was the family environment like? What was the social, and cultural, and national environment that you were born into, and especially interested in those things which might have influenced your direction in terms of career? So, take us back. Where were you born, and what year were you born? Raza: I was born in 1949. And I was born in the city of Lahore, which, at one time, was one of the cultural centers of India, and in the pre-partition days, pre-partition meaning before India was divided between India and Pakistan. And my mother was a school teacher. And my father was an engineer. At that time, engineers were engineers. They weren’t electrical engineers or mechanical engineers. But he was more an electrical engineer from his professional career than anything else.
