 Chandigarh waITs to be explored
Roopinder Singh
Chandigarh
is a city that has young
and educated population, beautiful houses and Internet connectivity
that is getting better by the day... yet it is a mere dot in the IT
map of the nation. The UT Administration
is just coming up with the Chandigarh Technology Park, and one of
the star attractions in it will be Infosys.

Google
Inc., which dominates the
market for Web search, is developing a service that could dramatically
extend the reach of its lucrative keyword-based advertising by linking
such ads to e-mail, those familiar with the matter said last week.
Privately held Google, which is expected to go public later this year,
faces rising competition in its core search business from e-mail
providers including Yahoo! and MSN.
Jadoo
inspires Indian
animators
Priyanka Khanna
Animation
may be the next big
thing for Bollywood, after sci-fi musical, Koi Mil Gaya,
broke new ground last year. Though Jadoo, the alien in the
film starring Hrithik Roshan and Preity Zinta, was not the best
example of special effects and animation, its popularity among
children made many in the business sit up and take notice. And that
has given a boost to the animation industry. India is now poised to
take a big slice of the global animation industry pie that many
analysts say will cap exponential growth in the years ahead.

Future
search engines will be personalised
Amardeep Gupta
Current
search engines seem unable
to leap up to the next big barrier in search — trillions of bytes of
dynamically generated data created by individual Websites around the
world, or what some researchers call the "deep Web." You
can’t look up the status of a Federal Express package without going
to the Federal Express site or the details on an eBay item without
checking the eBay site. One cannot spider the dynamically generated
data, so to say.

Enormous potential remains untapped while…
Nitin Kapila
As
large and now medium
organisations, move operations to Asia and South America through
captive, dedicated operations and outsourced structures, clusters of
regional competence are competing for a share of the global economy.
Although some regions such as Bangalore and Gurgaon are already
staking their claim as such clusters of competence, there lies
enormous potential for Tier 2 regions like Chandigarh to develop
domain expertise and a global brand in niches that fit with the
regions competence.
