You may want to mind your language Rakhi. Everyone makes mistakes in reading and perception. When you abuse it ends up telling a lot about yourself. This is a fundamental problem I have with Rediff, unlike TOI, there isn't any editorial review before patron's comments are put up on the discussion boards.

He was a person of Indian origin (PIO), born in Nairobi, Kenya
if people born in US or any country, do u call them Indians, they are called Americans - US Citizens
NOT INDIAN, media do your home work, all such people are not Indian's.
in dreams also these Not Required Indians (NRI)will think of doing something to India.
Every NRI invested in indian market as it is booming and they minted money and when this global recession started they took their money and indian market is down.

hey buddy, u r contradicting yourself in your last statement where you say, "because of the global recession the Indian market was down" because the recession was GLOBAL all the markets worldwide were hit & not just the Indian market.

Cut the crap man. Francisco D'Souza didn't choose his birth place, and his parents are true Indians. He was born to them when his father was working FOR THE COUNTRY as an IFS officer in Nirobi. Inspite of being a NRI he tried to give life to many Indians. though he is not born in India, He is an Indian who wants to give his best to India.
May be you wont talk about him like this if you know how hard he and his team worked to bring up the Company CTS.
Please think twice before you through your tongue.

I think CTS should look at getting business which are more on RD rather than boasting as a big outsourcing vendor that runs its grocery shop in third World Countries. Even Satyam used to bag highest contracts in SAP space among any Indian IT vendor but what happened so dont go by all salary figure as those can be earned if u have a safe and established brand name to back U .But one should give credit to Vivek Paul who made WIPRO From Nothing to Number 3 Spot. When he joined WIPRO its revenues were merely 150 Million Dollars as Premji comes from Edible oil background so had no knowledge of what computer is and its leverages. When Vivek Paul left WIPRO it was a 3.6 billion dollar company. Give credit to a batsman who scores century in a Bowling pitch not the Batsman WHO SCORES IN A BATTING PITCH WHICH IS MADE FOR BATSMAN TO HIT AND SCORE RUNS.

if he is the all rounder, then the same batsman at the same batting pitch can book 5-6 wickets; that kind of all round performance is done by FRANC; Don't underestimate anyone buddy without knowing the FACT

buddy, You seem to know a lot about Wipro, but what do you know about Cognizant & what pitch they are batting on ? for your information Cognizant doesn't run a grocery shop.
1. There are 7 firms with name Price waterhouse and 2 Firms with lovelock & lewes
2. All the Nine firms are members of PWC and PWC as such cannot practise in India
3. Mr. Talluri Srinivas & Mr. S Gopal Krishnan and Mr.Rama Krishna P are partners in Lovelock & Lewes
4. These 3 Chartered Accountants have signed for and on behalf of Price Waterhouse for several Companies such as GMR Infra, Lanco Infra and Satyam Computer Services Limited although they are not partners in Price Waterhouse
5. When we verified list of firms in the directory published by ICAI, the governing body of accountancy and auditing in India, we observed that fictitious partners are signing.
6. Moreover, the appointment of auditors of GMR, LANCO and Satyam, the address of the auditors firm is in Hyderabad, whereas as per the ICAI records none of the firms have Branch office at Hyderabad, this means that all the aforesaid companies have appointed a firm as auditors that does not exist as per the ICAI records. On further verification, we found that the firm has filed form 23B, form 23AC etc where in they submitted the firm PRICE WATERHOUSE BANGALORE's PAN Number. Price Waterhouse Bangalore has no branch office at Hyderabad. Nobody is able to understand how some one can file PW Bangalore's PAN number while the appointment by companies clearly states PW.
7. This anomaly might have existed for several years and never noticed by any of the statutory bodies including SEBI, Re

It is the financials that is filed with the SEC in the US that is signed in the name of PwC. The local financials for Companies Act purposes would be signed by a member firm in India. So generally the Company would publicly state that PwC are their auditors (for US benefits) however the statutory auditors in India would be a local member firm of the Big 4. Check out Infosys..they used to do the same thing...US financials by KPMG and local by Bharat S. Raut (member firm)...there is nothing wrong with this practice and there is no conspiracy here.

Who have guts to expose ICAI's malpractices, weakness, incompetency, maladministration, poor response to any inquiry, and so on?
