Perspecte @ RFID Journal Live 2008

RFID Journal live is one of the annual events on RFID where you get to see most of the companies around the globe working on RFID, be it suppliers as well as customers. This time, RFID Journal Live 2008  was held in Las Vegas. I decided this time that Perspecte has to be a part of it in anyways for one prime objective  i.e. to connect to hardware suppliers. The rationale behind that was pretty simple. India has very little of RFID hardware ecosystem and we always go through lots of struggle in executing our projects due to that. Though we directly establish connections with suppliers worldwide especially in USA i.e. suppliers of tags, labels, active tags, readers, antennas and other components, it is never an easy task to do that effectively from 15000 kms away. I felt that this event may make that task easier helping to establish strong relationships with the suppliers and wherever we already have conversations going on, to convert them into partnerships.

It was not an easy decision though. One for the high cost involved in making a trip to USA. And the other reason was the uncertainty in the usefulness of the event. I have gone to similar conferences in India with similar objectives and had come back with huge disappointment. Though the feedback I read in the websites on Journal Live were good, I could not be sure of the participation levels of the conference. I decided to take the risk and travel.

It turned out to be a very good decision at the end. The event not only delivered in establishing or strengthening partnerships with RFID suppliers, it delivered an invaluable and intangible benefit.  The event confirmed our belief that Perspecte is a global player and we are working on applications which have potential for sales not only in India but worldwide. I always tell folks out here that we are silicon valley company operating in Chennai, not even in India's silicon valley Bangalore. It is true that it is not easy with the available ecosystem or the absence of it. Hopefully we will prove that Chennai, a highly traditional, conservative and service-minded city can also create a high tech start up!! With all the support from our champion customers, wellwishers and the team, I know the day is not far.
