The Outsourcing Weblog: Standard Test for Indian Outsourcing Workers
After months of speculating whether or not a standardized test would be implemented, NASSCOM announced that the official test would be given on November 18, 2006.
People who have passed the said test would be considered as people who have the "basic skills" required to work in the outsourcing industry.

Are you reactive or proactive? In many business articles, there is a lot that is said about focusing on important things. Most of us rather focus on URGENT things.The thing is that nobody reminds you much to do what is important, but everybody knocks you to do those urgent things -- even if they are not important.SUCCESS is how much you spend and enjoy doing important things which are NOT URGENT or BEFORE they become urgent.Here's my take on what is important and what is urgent...
