At Barcamp Delhi

Okay - so I did make it to the Barcamp Delhi this time around - just before lunch. I have not been a big fan of ‘un-conferences’ and the only other Barcamp that I have attended was at the Silicon Valley in the US few months back. I was not even present at the last Delhi Barcamp, even though Tekriti was a co-sponsor then - because of time constraint. The Bay-Area one was a big disappointment; Delhi is marginally better - by virtue of being little more organized.

From what I have come to know from people during lunch - Marc’s presentation has been one of the best so far. Somebody from TCS is speaking currently and the conversation had to move towards the classical debate of “Which is more innovative: Services or Products?”. I will say “amen… Let’s start comparing oranges with apples and decide which is tastier.”

Anyways, I am looking forward to the Daler Mehndi show tonight at Mittal Gardens. I got 4 tickets to the show, courtesy my dad and we are taking Marc there too. Marc was at the cinema day before yesterday watching the bollywood hit Dhoom-2 and he could not sit through the movie. I am definitely hoping the result to be better this time. :-)

    Ohh surprised to see there is still a debate on Services vs Products!!! Ashish, you rightly answered “Let’s start comparing oranges with apples and decide which is tastier.”

    Some of my thoughts on why services and products needs complementary innovations.
    1.There are lot to innovate in process as technology keeps changing.
    2.As technology enables faster production, mode of services will be crucial to stay ahead in marketplace.
    3.Service delivery through electronically to foreign and native market needs huge innovations in delivery process (consisting of service and also products).
