Let us do it!

ninthCAFE is an Integrated Services Application that aims to associate IT folks and build a stronger community. You may ask how and what value does ninthCAFE add, when there are several other portals that claim to do the same? Let me explain -

Whenever you want to change job or relocate, some questions arise - how to find new an accomodation? How to buy-sell household goods? Which job to choose and many more! All that you can do is being at mercy of the self-gregarious brokers, who coerce you to accept deals which are not worthy enough. Furthermore, they charge huge commisions and brokerage with no respect for our hard earned money - Huh!

To fight this menace, some large companies created interactive groups in form of email distribution lists or as bulletin boards. Most of us know about its benefits - postings are reliable, it is easy to communicate and no third parties are involved, a big plus. But, still 81% of our IT community have no access to such valuable information - majority of the companies donot have such employee benefit programs. And thats where ninthCAFE steps-in.

ninthCAFE provides simple AJAX based UIs where you can strike deal with other professionals who equally wary of unreliable brokers and agents, as you are. ninthCAFE is a 100% non-commercial CDMS Initiative (Community Development through Mutual Sharing). Our team solicit your enthusiastic participation.

"IT is powerful, Let us leverage this power !"

Leverage IT

Indian IT story has been one of the most promising tale of how a 1.3 bn head-count nation (with 40% population in BPL) can stand shoulder to shoulder with world's superpower. In India, IT and IT enabled services employ 20 million people and contribute a significant 5.5% to GDP. And all this in span of around 10 years. However, some veterans and renowned technocrats berate the acheivement because they feel that Indian IT Industry is all in command of foreign hands and we have no standing of our own.

Still no matter what, the success of this sector cannot be discounted. However since change is never ending, hence there is an urgent need to churn our minds and find if we have failed to leverage technology and aid India's progress. The penetration of IT in our daily lives is abysmally low - not because of inadequate infrastructure but because there is not enough pressure that would expedite investment in technology.

But, gradually IT is shaping a new image for own-self. Last 1 year has seen wider penetration of internet in our lives. Gone are the days when a person has to sweat-out in long serpentine queues for Train reservations. E-choupal, an ITC effort has been appreciated for bridging the rural-urban gap in agrarian sector. Today, new ideas are pursued and services are improving, most of them being lead by very young but determined individuals.

ninthCAFE is one such Initiative with an aim to associate IT folks and build a larger community.
