NASSCOM: It-NIketan...An eventful saturday

First a little disclaimer: I know I am quite late to write this post, already a week has past since the BIG day. But still it is better late than never, Right? Now what was IT-Niketan? It all started from a Facebook group. One day a few persons were discussing what if we had a common platform where all the developers,designers and testers of kolkata could meet and discuss things. And as facebook discussions go, this went for sometimes then just faded. But from that discussion one person took notice. Aninda da liked the idea, he took it to a much greater platform. The NASSCOM. He was with the nasscom so he placed the idea there and it was approved. And thus the inception of  IT Niketan .   It was scheduled to take place in the DPSC Auditorium in saltlake and when I reached there it was already in full gear,just about to start. First we had a little introduction and keynotes session by Mr. Suparno Moitra (Regional Manager East NASSCOM) and Mr. Rajiv Vaishnav (Vice President NASSCOM
