One of the forceful presenters at a recent event of SPIN (Software Process Improvement Network), Chennai, was Tathagat Varma, Sr Director-Business Operations, Yahoo! Software Development India Pvt Ltd, Bangalore. Speaking on innovation, Tathagat emphasised that today’s customers expect top-quality innovative solutions in less time and lesser dollars than ever before, and that competing on ‘cost arbitrage’ or ‘part quality’ is necessary but not enough.
“As the premier digital media company, Yahoo! places a strong emphasis on innovation,” he noted, during a brief interaction with Business Line. “Being in the consumer Internet space, innovation directly relates to our ability to adapt to a fast-changing market environment.” Our conversation continued over the email, on the theme ‘Creating an innovation ecosystem in the IT industry.’
