The GE-tization

I was a bit anxious this week. My work place was getting ge-tized. Meaning we were going to be the latest addition to the brand portfolio of General Electric. Number 2 on the stock markets and the only company to be on the top 30 list since the inception of the stocks. It is said that if you had a $100 share of GE from 1892, its worth $5,000,000 now!

The entire process is really really well managed. The company is so used to acquisitions that it is a 'been there done that' for them. Their process of integrating companies must be one of the best practices in the market. One great thing about this development is that I get to be part of one of the largest employers in the world. I had thought that working at Telco would be as big as it gets in terms of employee strength of the TATA group. Almost everything you every use.... odds are that at some point in manufacture, design, finance or infrastructure GE has been involved. It all started with Edison. So as soon as you walk into a room and switch on the light..its us. The other good thing about this integration is that GE are just begining their journey in our business. So they will have lot more respect for what we do.
