Swamy and Assocs is 20 TODAY!

Swamy and Assocs is 20 TODAY!

YES, Believe it or NOT, it's 20 years TODAY! (Part 6 of 6)

Background

In my rather unique way of celebrating our firm's 20th Anniversary, I had started a series of retro-posts involving our path-breaking documents and engagements that pioneered and accelerated India-driven tech transformation here in Australia with a "Believe it or not" caption and usually, at least one AFR article covering it

Today is the ACTUAL 20th year (and this is the final Part 6)

As I pointed out in Part 1, back in 2004, anything to do with India (ITO, BPM, Advanced-analytics COEs.....anything) was quickly dubbed "offshoring" and was a career-ending move for corporate execs esp at ASX 20 organizations

Owe a life-long debt of gratitude to these stand-out Australian organizations and their leaders over last two decades as well as our strategic partners over these two decades (many of them Indian-headquartered global giants these days)
