As I have studied Electronics & Communication Engg. At that time I always read either Chip designing or at telecom magazines, and that’s why I always came across that new era will be like on Nanotechnology, today after reading this article again I recalled my college days and seeing that; that time started about “To Create A Buzz in Nanotechnology”

Hi Hiral,
As you know practical is different from theory.Thats true this is a very interesting field and we can imagine some path breaking things happening in the future.
Also,this is a win for Bangalore and hence a win for India.There are many services companies in India but now with the advent of such companies,it would attract more talent.
I read an article in "Winning-the answers" by Jack Welch where he had mentioned "Outsourcing to countries like India and China cannot be avoided but it should be utilized by other countries like US and UK to attract more people there(so that the talentpool remains there) may be by giving green card to them(instead of keeping them on an H1B visa).This will give them some sense of security.
