Biz round up...

Forbes' official list of top companies in the world has just been released.. Citigroup wins the rest hands down.. Microsoft, after its chief software architect Bill Gates being crowned the richest person in the world, has been pushed down to the 47th place.. bad sales and net value of assets have been attributed for this down turn.. and the first 20 slots go to companies from the US.. cos from india failed to grab a place in the list...

while the dragon land china is heading to a massive growth in IT, it would be interesting to note a few statistics.

number of CMM Level 5 companies : 1
number of companies with a head count more than 200 : 1
net worth of companies : less than that of any IT biggie in india

on the flip side, as NASSCOM, vice presdient has rightly pointed out, india has nothing much to cheer about.. the net worth of indian IT cos is less than that of IBM... how zz that?

and here ends the wait, ex NCR CEO Mark Hurd is appointed the CEO of HP after the ouster of Carly Fiorina...

so long
