r2i forum

Hi All

Great to find this Abad/Gandhinagar thread and excited to see people planning to move back. We are r2in'g at the end of this year. I have IT background with 12 year of US Experience. M.S. in Computer Science. Will be looking at Non IT business opportunities. Family in Real Estate/Construction field. Let me know if any of you already moved there or are in process and we can share information. My email address is [email protected].

Thanks
Darshan

Just got to see this thread today.
People interested in R2i to ahmedbad were quite in number last year - would like to hear from ones who already R2i'ed.
Have seen quite a community built by chennai R2I'ers and everyone benifiting from that.

Hi dnkumar

When are you planning your R2I. What is your background and will you be going to Abad or somewhere else?

Thanks
Darshan

Hi Darshan,

I am working in IT field since 15 years mostly in middle east.
Now this bug to R2I is catching me - though no concrete plan drawn as yet - may be 3-4 years down the line.

yes, it will be ahmedabad whenevver I R2I for sure.

Can see lots of development in Gujarat in terms of GIFT city and industrial corridors but not much pace on IT front.

Can you please post if you know what kind of development is going on regarding the GIFT city? I am from Ahmedabad too and would like to know if the GIFT city project is going anywhere as it would open many doors for potential R2Iers like me.

Has anyone heard about other major companies in IT?

I used to work for Future Group . It is not your typical IT company. It is the IT captive of Future Group. They do all dev/maintaininance of application reqd. for Big Bazaar, pantaloon, central etc (all group companies) . The salaries are also good. The work environment is pretty relaxed . You work 9-5(not even 9-6) which is unheard of in IT. You dont have any evening US calls to take. I enjoyed working there because of work life balance that it provided me.
