My pictures pretty much sum up my trip to Hyderabad. I saw a lot of the hotel, a lot of the office, and not much else. The city itself is sprawling, and it took us several hours to get into the various offices each morning. The one thing that is constant is the noise: traffic, people, and the constant honking of just about everything on the road.

Quick trip, just two days and one night, hardly long enough to get a feel for the place – but the industry here is everywhere, with huge service centres housing thousands of technology workers clustered together in technology parks. You have to see it to understand what a powerhouse India is positioned to become, to understand the sheer potential of what’s possible when you have a huge, educated workforce this big.
