Praveen Madan, Entrepreneur, says to Newsweek re Jeff Bezos and Kindle etc:
Now we are relabeling a book as technology! What are we going to call a technology next? Perhaps my daily burrito. The debate over e-books versus real books is way over-rated. Who cares if people read e-books or paper books, and whether they read them on their iTablets or Kindles. What matters is that long form reading is good for concentration, opening minds, and encouraging critical thinking. The form and medium of long form reading are irrelevant.
Praveen Madan is an entrepreneur [slash] investor seeking out business opportunities along the US-India Corridor, “the new silk road” of global commerce.
Most recently, Mr. Madan was a Managing Director at Trilogy, a business-value centered company headquartered in Austin, Texas. He oversaw the launch of Trilogy’s new Telecom Business Unit in India developing innovative business services for Indian Telecom clients.
Before Trilogy, Mr. Madan was a senior principal at A.T. Kearney, a global management-consulting firm. He was one of the leaders of A.T. Kearney’s strategy practice serving clients in the high-tech industry. His clients included leading technology companies like HP, Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, Adobe Systems, EDS, Qwest, and Japan Telecom. He still serves on the advisory board of several venture-backed companies in Silicon Valley.
Mr. Madan is a recognized thought leader and he has been quoted in leading business publications and media outlets like the Business Week, Information Week, San Jose Mercury News, Nikkei, and PBS.
Mr. Madan’s community activities are focused in the areas of education and health-care for children. He has been active with a number of community organizations like the Bay Area Council, March of Dimes, and Jeena.
Mr. Madan has over 15 years of experience working with leading companies in North America, Europe, South-East Asia, and Japan.
