Balaji's Joy of Innovation

I met Balaji at CII Innovation Summit held in June 2007 at Bangalore. He had a stall on his invention on paper file tracker technology.

We exchanged some emails on the CII summit as well as our reactions to what transpired. Since I shifted to Chennai in September, I was hoping to meet him someday. It is indeed a pleasure to receive an email from him regarding an event he is organizing on the Amazon Web Services Business Model and its evangilist from Amazon, Jinesh Varia, who is visiting India during first week of December 2007. I reproduce the email verbatim for others to see the work that Balaji has been doing and if others want to leverage Jinesh presence in India they can also get the benefit.

Jinesh's Travel Wiki is at this link. Balaji's email to me - (Thanks Balaji for remembering me)


Dear Navneet,
Amazon Web Services(AWS) http://aws.amazon.com as you are aware is an interesting web scale computing building block. It has high disruptive potential to unleash the creativity of startups.
More than the technical innovation, the business innovation of AWS be it pricing or community building will be of interest to you. There is going to be an informal meetup with Amazon Web Services Evangalist Jinesh Varia on Dec 13 http://awschennai.pbwiki.com. I invite you to participate in the meetup to get a feel of startup action around AWS in Chennai.
If your interested in AWS is more enterprise oriented, you are welcome to check out Jinesh''s India trip wiki http://evangelists.wetpaint.com/page/Jinesh+Varia+India+Dec+2007?mail=1127&t=anon and schedule a meeting to suit your requirement.

Jinesh,
Navneet is an Innovation thought leader and is Vice President & Head - Innovation Labs, Hexaware Technologies. He is old school enough to have countless publication to his credit and new school enough to embrace and experiment with unconference phenomenon. In short right
kind of person to pitch the benefits of AWS. Check out his blog to get an idea of what I meanhttp://innovationcrafting.blogspot.com/.

Regards.
