Nandita A. Senior Project Manager, Pune “ My day (actually night) usually begins at 7:30 pm with a conference call with the New York based onshore project managers. Since it is the beginning of the business day in the US, we go over our “Pro-active TDLs (to-do-lists)” which serve as our guide for the whole day. This meeting is usually followed by conference calls with clients via video or telephone conference. In these calls, we go over the previous day’s DSR (daily status report) and appraise client of project progress. Then we settle down with our respective development teams and start working on the task at hand. Dinner is usually at about 10 pm. I prefer the South Indian food from our in-house cafeteria. At 3:30 am (5:00 pm in New York), we have our FOCUS meeting addressed by US based management including the President Mr. Victor Suhaas, and CEO Mr. Najeeb Elnasser wherein they share their vision and goals for the company. We are actively encouraged to participate in these meetings and spell out our own personal vision for the company. At 4:00 am, we have a group meeting and we discuss all the outgoing DSRs with all the team members. I usually head home at about 4:30 am, have some breakfast on the way at the cafeteria and go home and crash only to wake up to another exciting day at Avion.”
