Adventnet CEO Sridhar on Cloud Computing

Fox News ChannelImage via WikipediaAdventNet CEO Sridhar explains CloudComputing. How it works on the Fox news. They have a business productivity suite ZOHO that competes with Google Docs.

ZOHO writer recently introduced mathematical equations through Latex code embedding in their ZOHO writer documents. This makes ZOHO writer very useful as a writing tool for Science/Mathematics/Engineering related documents.


Another interesting thing that stands out in his video is his hiring practices. They develop their own talent pool by hiring promising job applicants instead of looking for graduates from name brand schools. This should provide them opportunity to use untapped talent pool and at the same time solving the ever present problem of "Not enough good engineers".
