Like that "Tech-ignorantosaurii" :)

I had planned to remove that 'esteem' bit in my post production edit which
i missed, anyway I am glad it helped you push that 'Esteem vs Alto' plug
:). Btw, I am one of those AltoBeginners, so I do have a soft corner there.

Whether Esteem or Alto, it's just as possible to be underwhelmed by
this group (eg Tech-ignorantosaurii like me) as overwhelmed. The

Fantastic to get onboard this esteem group.

This is Sreejith Sivanandan, alias 'Sree'/Sree Sivanandan here. I am based
out of Bangalore suburbs since 2003 and Oh yes, surely one of those with
strong views about the new version of the city that has traffic latency,
pothole bugs, low resolution air quality and poor mobile connectivity, even
though it is still one of the best places to live in India :)

I am a TechDreamer, (if there is anything like that) as I believe that
technology is a great leveler that transcends all possible 'human created'
barriers of race, gender, orientation and faith, consistently reiterating
that world is a fantastic place to live and technology can provide a
solution for most of the problems that you can imagine.

Yeah, I know I am getting a bit a TechnoPhilosophical, could be getting a
bit influenced by Yuval Noah's 'Sapiens', that I am devouring right now.

To cut the chase, I have been dabbling with the business side of technology
for a while (16 years) before recently moving out of full time engagement
roles to take a break and explore the next phase of life. Prior to that I
had a brief stint with pharmaceutical industry as well. In my last role at
AOL, I was Heading Asia operations for AOL's publisher solutions stack as a
senior director, before that I was running the APAC operations of media
sites, like Engadget, TechCrunch, AutoBlog to name a few, leading the
strategy, product dev & biz dev teams.

Right now, I engage with early stage startups as an investor as well as
support a few companies as a consultant to drive growth & revenue
leveraging the experience and network that I have build over the years in
expanding operations in Asia Pacific. I am working on a new media tech
platform along with a few industry colleagues which is in stealth for now.

Ever since I read the article by Shrabonti Bagchi, on factordaily, I had
requested Udhay to check me into this list. So great to be here, looking
forward to learn, share and get TechShocked :)

Three articles that caught my attention in the last few days :

New digital antenna could revolutionise the future of mobile phones

Buddha was a data scientist

Why cost of living is poised to plummet in the next 20 years

David Strom  did a few of these for me a few years ago; 
unfortunately the site where they were posted is no longer online. Drop 
him a line and tell him I sent you.
