“There has always been a comparison between Bengaluru and Hyderabad with regard to IT growth is concerned. Karnataka might have made more exports but globally our professionals had very good name since many a key project was developed or help carving out has been done under the leadership of Telugus. Satya Nadella leads by example,” Sharat Kumar working at SAP, Bengaluru explained.

I fundamentally believe that if you are not learning new things, you stop doing great and useful things.” were sources of inspiration for many budding professionals,” Sashank, alumnus of Srinidhi Engineering College, presently in Chicago pursuing his Ph D remarked.
