Besides Revathi, quite a few directors have been affected by this reorganisation, including: Jayant Rastogi, head, channels; Amit Nagar, director, channels; Amit Bhatnagar, head, BFSI and manufacturing and Shashi Kapoor, director, government and telecom. At the same time, many Linux drivers remain with Novell India, which include Nishant Verma (now) head, government and telecom; Rahul Krishna Gupta, linux business; and Dr PK Mishra.
Sources indicate that the new team is now going to totally focus on Linux-related products and services, while all other products like GroupWise, etc. will be sold only when the customer demands. It is still to be seen what role Novell's 'colonial cousin' Microsoft played in this earthquake.
Left with Novell: Sandeep Menon, head, Novell's sales operations in India Nishant Verma, head, government and telecom Rahul Krishna Gupta, linux business Dr PK Mishra.
