Sai introduced three major projects at Thompson Press: the Multi Data Transit
System between pre-press and press; the WAN which connects all fifteen offices
of the company; and the Production Management and Information System which made
tracking and scheduling of every task possible at all workstations. The last
one, as Sai puts it, allows the sales guys to sleep peacefully at night.
Sai quit Thomson Press recently and is now a senior professor of IT at
Jaipuria Institute of Management. He holds a PG in applied mathematics and is a
PhD in business management.

He is certainly not a CIO anymore, but his story or rather role switch from
a CIO to his current designation as the executive director of Fortis Healthcare
surely makes for an interesting read.
Kapoor was feeling like reaching a plateau kind of situation, where the
urge to do something different and more weighed heavy. Thats when he decided to
communicate this to the higher management. In February 2006 he left his 22 years
of IT experience behind, as he took charge of the Central Buying Unit at Fortis.
Along with this he was also assigned an additional charge as director of Jasram
Hospital, which meant being completely responsible for growing the hospital.
Starting from scratch wasnt easy. With this inimitable chance to look beyond
compartments, Kapoor was exposed to a lot of routine management work, which
equipped him with tools of viewing things from a business perspective.

And just when he was settling down in his new role came another lucrative
offer Kapoor obviously could not resist, being the daredevil that he is at
heart. He was asked to take charge of Fortiss new branch at Amritsar. Page(s) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
