A visit to India (Trip 1)

Sometimes an unexpected opportunity comes along quite by chance and this was one of those occasions. I was fortunate enough to be asked to visit an outsourcing company in Pune, India, as a face-to-face meet-and-greet as well as to kick-start a new QA automation project.

It was just a couple of weeks ago, in the middle of their summer season and the mid-afternoon temperatures were about 37 degrees C almost every day! For the most part, we were locked away in day-long meetings, discussions and various presentations. However, I was able to take some photographs on a few occasions and I wanted to share some of these with you on this blog.
