Entrepreneurs and Techies must visit BarCamps

Hi people.
If you are new to BarCamps then read here first and join the mailing list for the discussions. Currently I am staying@Bangalore, the silicon valley of India. The first BarCamp@Bangalore was organized in the month of April, 06. But unfortunately I was not there at the gathering. After the event one of my friends told me about the Geeks gathering sponsored by Yahoo and Riya.It sound very interesting to me and I thought to attend it next time and from there my quest started with BarCamps. Now I am one of Crew member of BarCamp,Bangalore-2 and we are working for the execution of next BarCamp in Bangalore on 2nd and 3rd Dec.
I must say it’s a great platform to express your ideas /innovation and at the same time you can get many new and great ideas from other participants as well. You can get to know lot of new technology insight around by the end of the event. It’s also a great place for many of starters to discuss and promote their latest business venture. BarCamps are simply for the geeks, by the geeks and from the geeks.

India has emerged as the fourth biggest home to the best small companies in Asia with as many as 23 domestic firms finding place in a list of ‘200 best under-billion companies’ prepared by the Forbes magazine.In a development that marks growing recognition for India Inc — including small companies and not just the corporate giants and IT majors, India has been ranked ahead of countries like Japan, Hong Kong, Singapore, South Korea and Thailand.Three Indian firms — Great Eastern Shipping, Cipla and Sesa Goa have also managed to make to the top-25 of the “Asia’s 200 Best Under Billion” list published in the latest Asia edition of the business magazine.

The list include 11 companies each from Hong Kong, South Korea and Thailand, five from Indonesia, 19 each from Japan and Singapore, eight from Malaysia, three from Pakistan and one each from New Zealand and Sri Lanka.

In terms of sales, Bharat Forge and Asian paints have been ranked at 12th and 13th position, followed by Cipla at the 14th rank across Asia.
Cipla also finds place in the magazine’s top-ten market value companies among all 200 firms mentioned in the list. It has been ranked at fourth position in this league with a market-value of 4.37 billion dollar, followed by i-flex solutions at 12th rank with a market value of 2.42 billion dollar, Bharat Forge and Dabur India at 24th and 25th positions respectively.

The magazine said not all companies in Asia were feeding the region’s export machine with many in Japan and India selling products to their domestic markets.
Forbes cited the example of Mumbai-based retailer Pantaloon, which sells everything from cell phones to saris.
The list is considerably dominated by manufacturing companies. With Asian factories churning out so much of the world’s clothing, furniture and electronics, it’s no surprise that manufacturers have a strong presence on the list, the magazine said.
