Guest Lecture by Zensar CISCO team

It was yet another day full of knowledge and enlightenment that was focussed specially on the industry orientation.

We were expecting Mr. P Mohan, Head, CISCO ODC, to deliver the lecture but he was accompanied by 7 other great minds of CISCO who were the Practice Heads of various departments in CISCO. They all were associated with CISCO for the past 8 years. Mr. P Mohan started the lecture with the history of CISCO and its growth from a 20 member team to more than 800 members at present to become the largest account of Zensar. He then gave an overview of various departments of CISCO and the operations carried out there. Then he introduced us to all the Heads of CISCO and invited them to give some more insghts on the operations and processes followed in their respective teams. All those who were from technical background were trying to capture the details as they knew the opportunities for them in CISCO. When the presentation was going on and slides were changing quickly came the much awaited slide for all of us which was giving an overview of plethora of opportunities we can have in CISCO. They opened the gate for us and we wasted no time in interacting with them personally to gain more information on the opportunities we have.

It was a great learning for all of us and we Thank the whole CISCO team for extending their help and co-operation towards us.

Mr. Zubin Kabraji (07-july-08)

Zubin Kabraji, Regional Director, Indo-German Chamber Of Commerce-Pune, was her at zcbi to share his experience on working with German's and GERMANY. He shared his knowledge on the culture and reasons on why the companies from germanies are there in PUNE since so long. Its the ability of indians as follows:

* They expect us to think different
* To be technologically savvy
* To have an open mind – a mind for effective alternatives
* To be ready for new challenges
* To think well outside the box
* To be more quality conscious
* To be punctual
* To adhere to our committments and delivery schedules
* To be better team players

In all its been a pleasure for all students to have an insight of what people from other end of the world expect from us, in their organization and how they like us to be different from rest of the world.

We highly appreciate Mr Zubin Kabraji's effort to make us understand the insights better.
