President’s MessageSatish BabuFrom: president@csi-india.orgSubject : President’s DeskDate: 1st August, 2012Dear MembersCSI was founded in 1965, when computing technologieswere confined to a few research institutions, universities,and government departments. In particular, there was noIT Industry that is so prominent today, and computing wasfragmented between different hardware manufacturers,who also made the software for the computers that theymanufactured. The computing domain at that time wasdriven by a few stalwarts, many of whom CSI has had thegood fortune to associate with.Given that CSI was the only organization who was associatedwith the growth of the computing domain in India - later todevelop into the IT Industry - during its early days, it is onlynatural that CSI has a special affinity towards this period.
