Bangalore

In the 12 years that I have been with Cisco, I can honestly say it feels like home and during this time I have grown from an energetic girl ready to take on the world into a married woman, and now even a working mother! As I was looking to begin my career and carefully compared other companies based…

On May 5, 2005 I joined the fast-growing Cisco family in Bangalore. 5/5/5 – a mathematically pleasing number, indeed. That’s right, I’m a “numbers person” and a passion of mine is teaching math as a way to give back to society, but we’re getting ahead of ourselves here. I am sure the second you saw…

This post had contributing elements for the Cisco Book Club in Bangalore. After completing a year at Cisco, I was asked at my Early in Grade (EIG) farewell party, “What would you do if you were the CEO of Cisco?” Without a second thought I replied, “Build a library on campus!” Right from the day I h…

I knew immediately a great opportunity had come my way. Without wasting any time, I got to work preparing my resume and dr…

I’ve been with the Cisco Family now for 19 months as a Database Administrator here. The name kind of says it all, but I am responsible for taking care of our databases to ensure we are always backed up should a situation arise. Working in a technology company, you may think that’s all we’re about –…

Which Cisco campus coves 25 acres, features 8 buildings, welcomes 10,000 employees and sits right in the heart of the city’s outer-ring road? Fun fact, we even have a movie theater on campus AND we LOVE (love, love) Karaoke. That would be (drumroll please) Cisco Bangalore! My city is often called th…
