These days TCS, Infosys and Wipro have become household names in the US. Even housewives know them and talk about them. Well do they talk about the features that Infy has added to its product Finacle, or do they talk about the joint initiative that TCS has launched along with CMU.
NO!!! Here’s what they talk about “Hey, our neighbour Philip lost his job in “Electric Shock Corp” because they had decided to outsource their projects to Infosys and last week 1000 people were laid off from Pattibank because of their deal with TCS. So is this what we call Household names!!!
Let’s ask Agent Pal what a real household name is?
Enter into the kitchen in the morning and it says “Good Morning agent pal, your milk is hot and the toaster is almost done with your toast. Wipro Smart Kitchen Manager has detected 1 kg tomatoes and ½ kilo onion to be downloaded from www.wipro.com. Please maintain your bank balance to pay for these updates. Smart Kitchen Manager designed and deployed by Wipro “Cooking Thoughts”.
You enter into the garage, start your car and “TCS Windscreen Loading…”. Suddenly a blue screen flashes with the message “An unexpected exception occurred….Windscreen has detected a bug in the engine. Please remove the bug and press the Accelerator, brake and clutch together to restart Windscreen”.
You log into the internet and “Welcome to the Infy web 5.0. What do you want to browse today???”. You ask for today’s news and it pops up with “Sorry No Dosa for you. We are unable to serve your requests due to a server crash and our engineers are caught up on the traffic in Hosur Road. Please pray for the traffic to be cleared soon so that our engineers fix up the servers and your dosas are served.”
Now that’s what I call Real Household names.
Cheers,
Agent Pal
