Welcome to IT Company Discussion's Private Community

Hey Guys, 

Currently I am working Backup and Recovery specialist in Bangalore and I am expert in Commvault Tool.

As far as my research, there is no much scope or growth for Infrastructure guys other than IT services companies..

The opportunities are not similar as apps guys, in terms of pay and other facilities.

When I check Technical Architect, I got most calls for Application Architect not for infra.. More ever, I am more interested to work in startup eco system, but most of small/medium companies outsourced their infra to service based companies..

Few major players have in-house infra team, it’s very rare that companies looking Architect..

What is your opinion on that, being an Infra Architect how can I tune myself to fit into find my desired job.

I geniually want to understand why we are behind in manufacturing ? Although I'm from commerce background but I would love to know how does one start manufacturing business in India ?

What type of engineers you need ? Honestly I don't have any clue but if any has some information pls discuss here.

Why is Indian manufacturing so behind compared to China ?

Autocracy vs democracy. China got to manipulate its currency for two decades at a stretch - got it pegged at 6 remnibi to usd keeping exports cheap, influenced/lobbies/spied at the highest levels in the US government for decades (look up Larry Wu Tai). This meant unbelievably high USD inflow into China for decades. Chinese nationals who emigrate to US are loyal to China, steal IPs, some are even PLA trained - look up PLA members posing as students in ivy leagues. China pays up American profs to work for them (look up collaborations of Wuhan institute of virology). Their communist background helped since most American institutions are infiltrated by communists thanks to Russia paving the way - so much that they got US to dethrone ROC (Taiwan) from UNSC. Till today, US does not recognise Taiwan as an independent nation despite the grandstanding. Not saying this is all wrong, but they played geopolitics very well over decades and got loyal, nationalistic citizens.

Hi, just reaching out to people working in core technology and engineering (Not IT, Consulting, PM, UI/UX People) for general discussion on the state of R&D in India, your pay, comparisons to IT folks by your family friends etc.
You may be working in R&D as an engineer or building some deep tech product as an entrepreneur
Non exclusive list
Mechanical/Chemical/Material engineers
People working on Drones/Robots/Transportation/Defense Tech

I am missing a lot of fields here, but I believe there are lot of communities out there of software engineers, design folks, MBAs, not much of the hands on engineers in India

Shoutout to Core/Deep Tech People

Trying to think about how the lowest common denominator's problems can be solved.

Major issues that still persist in slums -

Housing and rehabilitation
Plumbing
Toilets
Water access

Could there be modular houses built/assembled in a day or two out of cheaper and lighter materials that are more durable than mud/dirt? Shipping Container houses being laid down using a crane was my initial thought, but cranes are hard to fit inside narrow lanes, so assembly might be better option.

Instead of constructing a complete cement and brick building somewhere, maybe some Lego housing would be easier. Might be possible to stack upto 2-3 floors. Maybe a porta-potty optional variant where plumbing for toilets isn't available. Rainwater harvesting and solar panels built on the roof maybe. Sink water should collect for use in toilet flush like it happens in Japan.

--------

Apart from housing, for employment I was thinking about upgrading the hand cart that Indian hawkers use for selling veggies , street food etc. They are a pain to move around and use because they're bulky.

Features I'm thinking about adding -

2 floors of the cart, one where motor is kept (with storage area next to it) and second where stuff to sell can be displayed above the motor floor (some hand carts already come with a lower section but it is usually open). Covered on all 4 sides.

Once work is done, stuff can be stored inside the storage area on the motor floor, while owner can sleep above it. Convenient for those living away from home. Locking it up from inside instead of outside when sleeping in the cart, like an airplane lavatory lock. One seat in front of the cart with a steering wheel.

On the roof - solar panels that can charge a battery to operate a small fan, LED lighting & a charging port/plug for phones and small devices. Not sure if the panel can power the motor for a large cart, maybe electric motor if it can. Otherwise petrol/diesel motor.

Thoughts?

Any mechanical engineers here who can answer a few questions?

After the recent post of mine related to entrepreneurship that picked up on grapevine, and also after using it for a long time, I realised this is a potential community to find gems. 

Looking out for a passionate SDE, who wants to dive into entrepreneurship and for a long ride and can own up the entire tech stack (pure ESOP oriented)

We are moving in a solid direction as per the vision in our Ed-tech startup all driven by AI.

Solving a massive global problem (validated!) 

comment if you are open for such opportunities and will take it forward from there.

Design Engineer

Context: I am a software engineer with 4 years of experience.

Everytime I work with a bunch of engineers (Especially Indian Startups). Most of them are workaholics.

They are just working for some company full-time. They are interested in learning more about technology, making jokes about technology, following technology news, etc. 

That is it. 

No social life. (Especially after Covid). No skills in any other part of life.

Their comfort zone is so small that they have developed a lifestyle of working, sleeping & watching something on laptops and that's it.

They make an excellent salary but don't do anything else. 

Every time I meet a 35-40-year-old software engineer, it is just a physically unfit guy with an arranged marriage who is boring as a brick.

Are most Software Engineers boring outside work?

I am in my late 20s and I feel attacked. Thank you for striking the right chord 
  
 I've come to realize that, like many software engineers, I've found myself navigating the monotony of an 8-hour job, often feeling isolated from my office peers. It can be challenging when people hesitate to open up, but the reasons for this became clear. 
  
 There are two key aspects at play: a minimal social life and prioritizing work. These factors are interconnected. In late 20s, the circle of friends tends to shrink, and individuals are busy setting up their own lives, leading to growing distances. With limited time for each other, it's easy to become engrossed in work life. I didn't anticipate that making friends would become a challenge, and I acknowledge this as a personal objective (read OKR) for myself. Despite being an extrovert, reinitiating the trust and friendship path can be difficult. 
  
 To address this, I've proactively connected with people, stepped out of my comfort zone, and initiated new activities. It's a challenging process, and sometimes it feels like I'm overdoing it, but the effort is rewarding. Engaging in activities beyond my job role, such as joining a gym or participating in public discussions, has been beneficial. I've also reduced my time on social media, realizing that platforms like Instagram reels consume a significant portion of my time. 
  
 I'd like to urge understanding for people in their late thirties. Having once criticized the habits of those in their late twenties when I was in my early twenties, I now comprehend the challenges of their situation. Unexpectedly, I find joy in shopping for groceries and organizing them neatly. It's all about priorities, and embracing change has made a significant positive impact in my life.

Hey folks, 

Today we have 21 communities on Grapevine. SWE, PM, Salary Discussion, Office Gossip, Indian Startups, Bangalore being some of the most active ones. 

What are some other communities/use cases that we should create? 

Please do chime in with suggestions :)

What new communities on Grapevine do you want?

Why Indian Engineers after getting job share only how did they get job.. how to prepare for that.. and opening the youbtube channel now becomes compulsory? Is it real engineering? I am student but I don't think it is good for real engineers

India is undergoing a semiconductor jobs boom, so it’s only fitting that we get our own space on this app to discuss stuff specific to our industry

Need a Hardware Engineering community page on Grapevine

Hardware Engineer

Ok, guys. I know are all excited. But there is no need to check if you have a decent salary above 40 LPA. JUST STOP.

It would be better if someone has low salary (below 10 LPA) then only that person should post CTC check.

STOP CTC CHECKS

Agreed,all of a sudden we have a deluge of narcissist nibbas from Quora. 
  
 These idiots will be like I have 50 lakh fixed LPA plus 50 lakh ESOPs plus 3bhk flat plus one Zara shop in phoenix mall plus MG Hector plus 6 foreign annual trips at the age of 18. 
 Am I Underpaid? 😂😂
