We are the Iyers and our family consists
of four people our kids Anindita and Arjun, my wife Janaki and me - Mohan.
We are from
Mumbai, in
Maharashtra,
India but moved
here to the US in April 1997 to explore and get a more rewarding
life and lifestyle for us and our kids. To be truthful, I traveled a lot
in my job in India with a consulting company and rarely got to spend
quality time with the family and was looking for a more grounded job and
also as my wife quoted - 'if you promise to be home every
evening we will go to the US or any other place on the planet ',
and so the decision was made to come here.
I joined Fortuna Technologies Inc.
which was in Sunnyvale, CA .Prior to coming here I joined first at
their Hyderabad office and helped them set up their Training Centre for
Oracle Applications in India to train people in one of the most popular
ERP package. The timing was appropriate for us as it allowed our kids to
finish their school year in India and then all of us to traveled
together to the US.
We stopped en route in
Singapore for a week to visit one of our very close friend . We had
a great time reminiscing old memories as we were all meeting after
a very long time. It was also my family's first trip abroad and it made
the trip all the more eventful and it was also a great beginning to a
totally new life in a totally new country about which we had very little
information.
We landed at
San Francisco, and our friend Veena
picked us up at the airport and we stayed for a couple of days at her
house till we got over our jet lag . She had already made all
arrangements and had booked us an apartment at Sunnyvale, California.
We lived in Sunnyvale for around three years and then decided we wanted
to own a house and bought one in Fremont in 2001.
I am currently in the process of
forming my own company and intend to consult in the areas of Finance
Process and Controls and help users to implement ERP applications
(mainly Oracle Applications Suite), and related system solutions.
