Random Musings

I have always been 3.14 times bigger than God.

According to Alexa, a third party website traffic monitoring service, my company has more than thrice the reach world over compared to Wipro or Infosys. You can check Wipro’s traffic statistics here. Wipro or Infosys: . Check the bottom of the page for rank in individual countries. If you include India, Wipro has more than twice my reach, but discounting India, (which I am sure is mostly their own employees, since Wipro has more employees than clients), in every other country, I have nearly thrice their reach. For instance, in the US, wipro’s traffic rank is 95,000, while mine is 29,000. The difference is much higher in other countries, with my company having 5-6 times the reach of Wipro or Infosys.

Of course, Wipro/Infosys — even though they generate millions of dollars in revenue, and employ 100s of thousands semi-intelligent hordes — are 9th rate outsourcing companies that exist solely due to an accident in history where the standard of living in US/Europe are much higher than in India, a disparity which these people have shamelessly exploited. They do not write any real software, and their entire job is pretty much exercise in animal herding.

What it also means is that I now have intellectual property in software that’s worth millions of dollars.
