News and Notes for September 17th 2009

Thursday news:

• A nice discussion on whether the LPO boom is good or bad for India over at Merinews.com.  A nice reference to GATS and how this factored into the governments decision to loosen its stance on letting outside firms set-up shop.
•  A few weeks ago, Integreon released eView 3.0 for its e-discovery operations.  Its intent is to offer everything a client needs from one provider.  Some of its offerings include: concept searches, central and secure document protection, and priv log streamlining.  Seems like a swell idea to me.
• And I can’t forget to include the “Young Entrepreneur of the Year” Award that was given to Rohit Kochhar, Chairman of Kochhar & Co.  It was presented to him last month at the 12th Annual Rajiv Gandhi Awards.  Having started five different companies involved in five different business segments, makes him one of the most interesting businessmen not only in India, but in the world. (Thanks to MyBangalore.com).
• Kian Gantz at Legally India discusses the new corporate law forum started by students of ILS Pune.  It’s goal is to increase awareness of the changing legal industry, share experiences and add to graduate employability.  I think we’ll see this more and more throughout law schools world-wide.
