I've seen some service companies value such certification. A rare exception: Amazon Bangalore hired one PCI guy (but he was a pure PCI "product manager" - not a techie with PCI-too certification) in order to build Flexible Payments Service. >> > http://www.thehindubusinessline.com/opinion/columns/rasheeda-bhagat/decoding-zohos-success/article4379158.ece > > I am tempted to say "One swallow does not a summer make, nor one fine > > day; similarly one day or brief time of happiness does not make a > > person entirely happy."

I am quiet weak in deciphering old English. > What he means to say is Zoho turned things upside down by hiring rural folk and trains them in-house on PHP/MySQL/etc.,. It challenges the fundamental mindset that "engineering graduates (starting from IIT and _below_) are better" - but, IMO, this changing (Zoho) trend is already widespread. I run a business which finds raw talent (people with computer programming / open source inclination) and incubates them by providing inspiration / guidance and infrastructure (specifically free access to AWS). When they have built something worthwhile to be showcased, we place them at internet-tech companies (like InMobi, Flipkart, etc.,). Some of these companies have specifically asked us to NOT go to engineering colleges because they have, out of experience, found better quality Arts & Science graduates! We instead tell these companies to keep their mind open and hire only those who pass their (usually very tough and long) technical interviews.
