Srijan Technologies among the world’s “Most Democratic Workplaces”
Srijan Technologies Pvt. Ltd. a New Delhi based web-development company has been selected as one of the world’s “Most 
Democratic Workplaces” by WorldBlu, an Austin, Texas (USA) based non-profit organization. WorldBlu specializes in issues relating to democracy in the workplace. Srijan has been selected to be part of WorldBlu’s 3rd annual list of 40 “Most Democratic Workplaces” released on April 14th, 2009.
Srijan (www.srijan.in) specializes in delivering high end, sophisticated websites to clients around the world. It uses open source technologies such as Drupal, TYPO3, Apache, PHP, MySQL and Linux to make high quality, reliable and engaging websites. Srijan’s philosophy is not only to use open source technologies but to have an “open” and democratic workplace.
At Srijan important decisions relating to overall company strategy, organization, employee salaries and promotions are made from the bottom-up. This decision making happens in public meetings involving all employees at Srijan. Any employee is free to call, lead and participate in these public meetings. Decisions requiring detailed analysis happen in groups selected by the employees. After research and internal discussion these groups present their findings to all employees and the final decision is taken by consensus. Focus and goal orientation is high at Srijan because employees are aware of where their company is headed; what’s more, they have helped choose that direction. At Srijan, democracy does not imply chaos: Senior management still plays an important role because it brings experience and perspective to the table. The major difference from traditional top-down organizations is that senior management cannot ask people to do something simply because they “said so.” Employees as a whole need to be truly convinced by an idea, direction or initiative. Srijan believes its way of functioning is unique in India where participative management is followed more in theory than in actual practice.
An expanding set of case studies prove that more transparency and democracy is good for every organization. The writings of Ricardo Sembler (celebrated author of “Maverick!” and CEO of Semco) are a famous case in point. The democratic approach has many dividends: the Srijan workplace tends to be remarkably non-political, positive and task focused rather than personality focused. Moreover, Srijan employees consistently describe their organization as “fair.” Srijan practices “democracy at the workplace” not only because its the right thing to do, but it’s the profitable thing to do.
WorldBlu reports that this year, non-profit and for-profit organizations from the U.S., Canada, Mexico, England, India, the Netherlands, Switzerland, and Malaysia made the “Most Democratic Workplace” list from industries such as technology, health care, telecommunications, media, manufacturing, aerospace and retail. According to WorldBlu they represent nearly $12 billion (approx Rs. 63,000 crores) in combined annual sales. Srijan Technologies was the only company selected from India. These companies were selected on a basis of a rigorous, anonymous questionnaire filled by employees of the candidate organizations. All Srijan employees were eligible to fill this questionnaire and an overwhelming majority eventually did.
“Nothing has proven the need for a new model of business as definitively as the current economic crisis,” says WorldBlu (www.worldblu.com) Founder and President, Traci Fenton. “The call for transparent, accountable, and decentralized companies is greater than ever, and in the midst of all the economic turmoil these organizations are a bright spot and a reason for hope.”
Srijan’s inclusion in this top 40 global list is a great motivator to our employees and validation of our core values. Srijan is proud to be part of this list.

Srijan is now an Acquia Silver Partner
Posted by: Rahul Dewan on: April 11, 2009
Srijan has joined Acquia’s partner network, as a Silver Partner.
Acquia Silver Partner
Associating with Acquia has been a high priority for us, as Srijan is going to be focussing extensively on Drupal in the coming months. There are already two large projects we are currently executing for a recently launched News and Features magazine in India, and another one for a broadcasting agency in Greenland. We are expecting more such large Drupal projects in the coming months, and Acquia’s tech support model for its partners would prove to be beneficial for us in executing of these projects.
It feels good to be associated with them, specifically as one of our former Drupal mentors works for Acquia now.

“International meltdown result of intense human greed”: Deepak Chopra
Posted by: Rahul Dewan on: March 29, 2009
Deepak Chopra, during a recent visit to New Delhi, gave an interview on CNBC-TV18. I loved what he said, and could not resist making a post about the interview. See the complete interview transcript.
An excerpts from the interview:
…we have been so programmed to think about me and mine. Now the fact is the world is showing us right now that there is no such thing as me and mine. The economic meltdown is global. There is no national solution to it. If there is going to be a solution it is going to have to be global. Terrorism is a global problem. If there is going to be a solution it is going to have to be a global solution. The ecosystem and the damage that we have inflicted on the environment, which is global warming is a global problem. So, in a sense we are being forced to recognise our interdependence. A few years ago this was a philosophy, now it is a fact.
Here be Dragons
Posted by: buckycat on: March 24, 2009
Over the past year, we at Srijan Labs have been dabbling in a variety of areas. One key area of interest has been the possibilities afforded by GPS tracking, FOSS GIS tools, and location-based services centred around these. Also, of interest to us is how these services can be harnessed through mobile devices like cell-phones, and hand-held devices that are becoming increasingly ubiquitous.
With this in mind, I have put down some thoughts in a document available here as PDF. Nothing earthshaking, but just an idea of the areas which we wish to explore in the immediate future. Comments
are invited.
