Ya I read about it yesterday. A small blow for Yahoo considering Asia is their premier market.

I think this is a major Blow to YHOO!!

After all the three players (GYM) are having turf wars and their R&D centers are sitting in the golden triangle of talent (Banaglore, Hydrabad and Chennai) .

Prasad Bhaarat is a dynamically player in this zone and is looked up by the this talent,as a leader in the techpool!!
