Re: Some fan of Modi used Hindu distance units?
Admittedly I had to chuckle while reading this. Then again, on a second thought, the main reason why an IT offshoring programme went lopsided was not the Indian colleagues but the fscked-up setup from our western side. The Indian IT company had lots of experience working in a certain way, i.e. clients submit their specifications and they implement and deliver them - and they did it well. But our side had a different idea altogether: "we" did not want to lose control over the development process and hence broke open a well-defined process, creating lots of ill-defined interfaces, wanting to manage the Indian development teams from our offices in Europe/USA. It didn't work well.
