I have no desire to offend anyone with this post but it is about time the confident India ( post T20) thinks positively and stops petty thinking.
My aim in posting once in a while on Eko or on other things is to get a few people to think positive and big and to share experiences both good and bad. One can learn from success or failure.
I do not need this forum to get publicity for Eko. Eko is not a web traffic type play and at this stage we have all the attention we need. I have turned down a few requests from media to write about Eko because we are at a very early stage.
If I write about founder chemistry it is because I find it delightfully refreshing at Eko and I am not trying to signal anything except reminding myself and others at similar stages on the importance of positive vibes.
At Eko we are quite excited about a “Circle of Trust” document that we are working on. Our inspiration for this was an integrity document that Mindtree has on its website ( available for download).
I will let you know when we have our document completed and available for download. Just as Mindtree inspired us maybe we can inspire someone else.

You have whetted my interest with the blog posts about Eko, especially because I know of your stint at Paypal. However, seeing that you are working on a values document, without mentioning when the product is coming out, is somewhat puzzling.
I know of your achievements and so, I would not presume to be negative about Eko, but the sequence of efforts is… well, just that… puzzling.
I wonder how mindtree sends engineers to US in B1 visa for work?.
Sanjay,
I’m not sure about Mindtree but Infosys has pioneered values and Integrity and has been a role model for most of the IT service companies in India. They have similar stuff called C-LIFE.
But Eko being a product/platform company, I’d suggest you to look at the 10 things google has on its website as philosophy. I felt no company has ever stated them better and also to a great extent (arguably ) lived by it 🙂

And other best examples I can think of in the same league are from FLOSS community, namely Debian’s social contract which inspired Ubuntu & OpenSolaris

good to see you posting behind the scenes at Eko. If you could give us some more insights into the challenges that you’re facing, it’ll enrich this community.
