NEN in the Economist!

Economist article: Start-ups in India

... And there's an indirect mention to my program NEN Startup Jobs: "Ms Parkin’s network also encourages young graduates to work at someone else’s start-up before creating their own. She notes that India’s leading business schools are now quite happy to let start-ups hire on campus."

Indian-isms

I've been compiling a list of corporate Indian-isms, workplace phrases that are so uniquely .. Indian. Feel free to add yours to the list!

"Write a para about your progress." (people love abbreviations here)
"I need it by Friday itself." (saying 'itself' drives home the point that you can't operate on IST)
"You might be knowing..." (instead of 'you may know')
"Please make a PPT." (no one says PowerPoint)
"Do the needful."
"It is like that only."
"Let's chat." (means communicating via IM, not face-to-face or over the phone)
