Hi I have been following the Open data movement for a while now. I met Nisha at a 5th Elephant conference conference where I was speaking on Analytics. I am not a Techie at all & I read with fascination the felicity with tech & tools that others in this group have!
I approach the Data space from a different perspective. I have spent over a decade in 2 organizations as the CMO, where I used Data to change the way Marketing was done there(Shoppers Stop & HDFC bank). Post that my fascination with data led me to co promote an Analytics & CRM company called Hansa Cequity. I am a passionate proponent of the power of collaborating with data in an "organisational context" & empowering each of us as consumers with data in our "personal context". I do believe that as consumers & citizens , our own "personal data" will eventually become yet another "asset class" worthy of substantial value... And while i wait for that to happen, I also write a blog about some of these ideas at http://blog.hansacequity.com/Customer-Management-blog/bid/64578/The-Personal-Datawarehouse I am based in Mumbai & would love to offer my infrastructure(office space) for any Open data initiative in Mumbai!!
