I can look back at 2009 with great satisfaction w.r.t things we achieved at BridgeCo (India), now about 15months old. The year was full of excitement, we ran as fast as we could and then some more and caught most of the things that were thrown at us. I'm happy to note that BridgeCo (India) has now become the operational headquarters with S/w engg, H/w engg, QA, PMO, Supply chain mgmt, IT, Finace, Accounting and Sales backend functions, fully operational.
The year started with us taking over complete project for a globally very well known brand in Consumer Electronics space. We had hurdles in setting-up of the office and were trying to support this customer with two USB internet sticks, as the office didn't had internet and telephone connections. We started taking more and more work as the infrastructure kept improving and the team kept on ramping-up. Today, we support our top-3 customers fully (all three are BIG names in the consumer electronics space).
Our technical team, led by our chief architect, came-up with a brilliant idea on our future software platform. This platform (3rd generation), gets the best of our earlier platforms and expected to serve our needs for the next couple of years. The idea was completely conceived and delivered (phase-1) out of our Bangalore office. The ASIC and H/w teams worked continuously to reduce the BoM costs of our modules. The non-engg teams (finance, admin, IT, SCM) ramped up fast and now supports all our customers and partners. The year ended with a last minute sprint to complete our demos for the upcoming CES at Las Vegas and completing the micro-level schedules for our #2 customer for their 2010 projects.
In the middle of all these we got ISO certified, recruited a bunch of talented folks and had a lot of fun. 2010 promises to be even more exciting as the global recession recedes and as we increase our customer base.
It was sometime, perhaps since 2005, that I had such a busy time at office!!
Wish you a great 2010.
Thank you very much,
RamP!

Establishing a balance between the sprint (deliveries) and the marathon (conceiving future generation platforms) is not easy. Add to that the complexity of site management. You are doing great stuff, RamP. Keep going! All the best to you and your BridgeCo India team.
