Who would submit bills of these titles against a grant meant for big, fat, jargon-filled books on Software Technology?
But, then, Vikram Gupta is no run off the mill Software Professional.

Fresh out of college, highly qualified, in great shape and intelligent, he is employed by ACS, the biggest name in the Indian Software World. He is the archetypical image of a young man with a glorious future ahead of him.
Yet, he has his problems.

He loathes his job, abhors everything about Chennai and hates the guts of his reporting boss. And more importantly, he has the questionable gifts of eccentric logic, irreverence for authority and a macabre sense of humour, which more often than not, place him on sticky wicket.

As the year 2000 approaches, accompanied by the dreaded Y2K bug, ACS goes about its customary way of getting innumerable projects done dirt cheap by employing fresh graduates whom they can brow beat, bully and exploit. However, in Vikram Gupta, they run against something they have never encountered before.

Within the spic and span corridors of the multinational firm, Vikram discovers conspiracies that threaten to spell doom for the hordes of young people recruited by the company. And he pits his eccentric wits against the cold-blooded deviousness of entrepreneur-par-excellence S.Digambaram, the EVP of ACS Chennai. Somehow long the line, he also manages to fall in love. But, can a sole youth, even aided by cupid, succeed against a giant corporate?


An uproarious rollercoaster ride encompassing the deepest secrets of the software world just before the turn of the century. The technological landscape is etched with numerous colourful characters from all walks of life… A hilarious take on the infamous Bond policies and the Y2K scenario.
