SANTA CLARA, Calif. - Nov. 10, 2006 - Sequence Design president and CEO Vic Kulkarni is set to moderate an EDAC panel Tuesday, Nov. 28 on "Doing Business in India."

"How does one view India today?" Kulkarni asked. "As a customer, technology partner, services provider, business satellite? There are so many options for doing business there, and so many opportunities. We hope to enlighten and entertain, while helping people understand how to cut through the red tape and maximize the opportunities India offers businesses here."

"I strongly support educational programs such as the popular 'Doing Business in ...' series the Emerging Companies Committee continues to provide our members," said Bob Gardner, the newly appointed executive director of EDAC. "These informative events are also an excellent member and customer networking opportunity."

The panel will be held at Silicon Valley Bank, Santa Clara, on Tuesday, Nov. 28. A reception begins at 6pm, followed by the 7pm panel. For more information: www.edac.org/invites/Nov_ECC_06.htm.
