Honored to be on Dataquest’s Top 20 Indian Influencers

The folks from Dataquest, one of the largest technology publications in India has just released its list of Top 20 influential global Indians in technology.The list includes folks like Vishal Sikka (CTO, SAP), Padmasree Warrior (CTO, Cisco), Satya Nadella (president, server & tools business, Microsoft), Sanjay Jha (CEO, Motorola), Sundar Pichai (SVP, Chrome, Google) and Vinod Khosla (Khosla Ventures.)

They have all spoken at GigaOM events in the past and frankly I am just bowled over to be on a list with these luminaries. These folks have contributed so much in this world and to be mentioned on the same page is amazing. Thanks Dataquest!

In Conversation w/ Josh Silverman, ex-CEO of Skype

A few days ago, I interviewed Josh Silverman, former chief executive of Skype at the Entrepreneur Summit at the Endeavor conference in San Francisco. I was supposed to interview Josh at our Net:Work conference in December 2010 but things didn’t work out at that time. I quite enjoyed this conversation and learned a lot from Josh’s insights. Hope you enjoy the video.
