KGISL plans to penetrate Chinese and Korean markets!

After making an indelible mark in providing online scoring services for the Japanese educational institutions, KG Information Systems (KGISL) now plans to extend its services to Chinese and Korean markets.Ashok Bakthavatsalam, director, KGISL, told buoyed by an explosive growth witnessed by the company on this front, it is now negotiating with some of the educational consultants in China and Korea. “We are also planning to introduce spoken English scoring services for the Japanese,” he added. The company, in 2004, started to provide online scoring services for essays written in English by students in Japan’s middle and high schools.

It has tied up with over 75,000 schools. According to Mr Ashok, most non-English speaking countries were outsourcing the job of evaluating English essays. “Indians’ proficiency over the English language is definitely to our advantage. We started with 6,000 schools a year back. The numbers have swelled since.” Though the job involves assessment of essays, the scoring norms are not ambiguous, he said, adding it was a remote processing service, a subset of business process outsourcing. When asked about the company’s plans to penetrate the Chinese and Korean markets, he said KGISL’s leadership position in the medical transcription space will make this entry possible. He said challenge lies in building a strong and efficient team for doing this work. The company is now strengthening its team and plans to headhunt more than 100 people by this fiscal end .

Ariyaatha pillakku choriyumbol ariyum!

As a kid/teenager, my only source of information to learn malayalam was Manorama Publications' Balaram, a children's fortnightly and my granny. I still vividly remember how she used to teach me the basics of malayalam whenever I come to Kerala on vacations. My granny was also a great source of amazement for me as she used malaylam proverbs or the so called "pazham chollu" every now and then. These proverbs, though small in length and use, had deep insights! Though I can read/write Malayalam today, thx to Balarama and my granny, I used to miss her proverbs a lot. But not anymore!! Thanks to this Wikipedia link , forwarded to me by Vinay
