Well its the middle of the week...hump day as some stupid american say. Did not spend too much time on my plans other than distribute the email group a little farther last night. I had a very interesting, solid converstaion/interview with a potential oppurtunity in California. www.squid-labs.com (prolly the coolest company i've seen in years) Celebrated by drinking beer and eating pizza, also my small number of friends in Prov are starting to dwindle, Ben my korean ex-stoner buddy from philly is moving back to finish a masters... all is not lost as Korey is moving here this weekend. Seperate my friends from my work...the slow process of exiting is showing.

Now whats important, i did some research on my frost and sullivan account regarding BPO and R&D outsourcing, There appears to possibly be some potential still with pharma reserach, however it would be from the lower tiers. One of the reports outlines some of the fundamental differences between India and China and where they are going in the future. Interesting enough. I would also venture off to say that big pharma has set up research facilities at all the recognized universities, IISC, IIT, etc. What may be potentially out there is the ability to create a research facility which is invested in by a group of small pharma/biotech companies. I don't konw the feasibility but if a 20 million dollar facility is set up by Ranbaxy, then why not pool 5 companies with 4 million in investment capabililtes to capitalize on the same intelligence. The logistics of this seem fairly extreme...its an idea, will be forwarding it to the whole group. Seems highly improbable, but nothing is impossible. Besides i think the goal is to eventually become the Wipro or Infosys but for everything they don't do...

On a side note, i was entertained with the possibility of working on a new project, very interesting, anywone have super programming skills because there is a possibility for big money.
