Reply to: Wipro boss Azim Premji to train UK students in Bangalore

[DodgyAgent]

Mr Premji employs around 3,500 people in the UK, of which around a quarter are British. "They can be impoverished with the training," he said.

A more honest statement

...and sleep next to the radiator so that you don't have to buy a duvet, and eat langad for free in the local gurudwara.. We British should learn something from the desis ....apparently Steve jobs survived by eating for free at the local hare krishna temple during his uni days.

Jobs: “I didn’t have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends’ rooms, I returned Coke bottles for the 5-cent deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the seven miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it.”

And look what happened to him

What is he going to do? teach them to live ten to a room in Southall and survive on £10 week?

Possibly a cynical comment that 'ethnic minority' of a quarter I wonder if they are just long term employees granted citizenship?

Very clever imo. Drag down the standard of UK IT graduates so the incompetent Indians dont look so bad. Levels the playing field

Apparently in this case, France won the contract over UK by being the "cheapest" bidder. Others try to sell things cheap as well. The PM is unhappy about this decision to choose the lowest bidder.

The French may be able do it with plenty cheapness but can they do it with much quickness?

about cheap contractors and cheap warplanes

I was just thinking that he'd missed out the course on "reverting".

It's always struck me as ironic that although they use the word "revert" incorrectly we still end up doing a lot of reverting to fix the mess they've made.

I thought that was what they meant.

"I've done the needful" = my changes are in SVN

"Revert back in case of any discrepancy" = revert my changes when they (inevitably) break the build

[Bunk]

This post definitely delivers the needful.

Please revert back in case of any discrepancy.
