Last Month, I faced a very surprising issue with Standard Chartered. I was using their Online Banking for my credit card for nearly one year. Suddenly it stopped working. When I called the customer care department, I was told that there is no Online Banking Service for my Credit Card. WoW. What was I doing for one year? My loan account also did not exist? Wow ! No need to pay back. Who is taking those EMIs?

The customer care executive do not listen. They have ‘Care’ in designation but do not care. I gave up my argument and simply asked for a new online banking service and a password. One month passed and today I called them. They had some IT Problem and they will issue it later. However, when I checked, I found that the mobile number and email number with them was all incorrect. How did it happen? God Knows ! I hope there is no virus with Standard Chartered System !

Pray – The only choice !

Ahmedabad, India & Helsinki, Finland September 27, 2010 – MobileMonday celebrates 10 years of collaboration, community, and innovation with the new chapter launch in Ahmedabad, India. With Ahmedabad becoming its 107th chapter, MobileMonday is now active in all continents.

The Indian Telecom Sector is growing at a scorching pace, with mobile carriers paying USD 15 billion for 3G spectrum. Bharti Airtel took over African operations of Zain while Tata Docomo initiated the lowest tariff of 1 Paise Per Second (USD 0.0132 Per Minute). Within a few months, Uninor, Telenor’s India Operations, reached 10 Million Subscribers.

“India is seeing amazing growth in the mobile industry. A new generation of entrepreneurs is leveraging the mobile technology for business and social uses. Whether it is ordering food and vegetables via mobile in India, transferring funds, weather alerts to fishermen, tracking logistics or teaching English – mobile is a central part of the emerging superpower,” commented Jari Tammisto, CEO of MobileMonday Global. “We warmly welcome Ahmedabad to our fast growing network of global mobile excellence.”

“We wanted to open a MobileMonday chapter in Ahmedabad to facilitate networking amongst mobile eco-system members of Gujarat state as well as collaborate and address the emerging challenges and enhance the local talent. The idea is simple – to bring together local people and companies interested in mobile: to meet and chat with each other, see what others are doing, share ideas, and possibly even work together,” says Ashok Karania, founder of MobileMonday Ahmedabad.

Ahmedabad is one of the fastest growing in India. It is already the No.1 city for small businesses featuring in the Top Ten Competitive cities of India. There are a lot of mobile innovation and development activities happening in the city. Many young mobile developers, students and established organization are fuelling mobile growth in Gujarat.

“The long tradition of entrepreneurship and mobile opportunities have created an ideal platform for the emergence of the mobile eco-system in Gujarat. Apart from hundreds of firms working on mobile application development services, there are an increasing numbers of product champions. Apart from Indian companies, mobile firms are able to successfully garner important projects from Western countries in critical sectors. Gujarat Government is one of the largest IT spenders in the country and a lot of the new Government spending is around mobile technologies. All these developments are creating new opportunities and providing the right encouragement to local talent and ideas. The outlook for mobile sector in Gujarat is very promising,” says Ashok Karania, founder of MobileMonday Ahmedabad.

Gargi Das, one of the young Nokia Forum Champions, agrees: “The highly talented engineers from Gujarat are attracted to mobile software and are interested in firms providing the mobile exposure.
