So what does S.M. stand for? His full name is Somanahalli Mallaiah Krishna. In the inaugural session of BangaloreIT.com on Nov 1, 2000 Clarence J. Chandran (ex-COO Nortel Networks) said in his speech that S.M. stands for Simply Marvelous. We agree :-)
So why are we gaga about this CM? Simple...
* Very hard working. Works 7 days a week, 365 days a year. * Understands the importance of technology * Understands the importance of BPO/ITeS * Took initiative in encouraging Biotechnology industry. * Formed Bangalore Agenda Task Force because he clearly understands that the city can improve only if citizens participate. * Finally got the Bangalore international airport project to start. * He is not afraid to take decisions that are popular with the people and very unpopular with the politicians. * He treats govt as a "business", hence he has used the services of McKinsey & Company, the world's leading consulting firm with a 75-year-old history, to streamline its economy and locate more jobs for its citizens.
