A decade and seven years ago an Indian man hailing from the Indian capital enthralled the technology departments of global corporations with a ‘tale of a tempest’ many times more amplified and puffed up than the abundant crop of hair he sported. The latter was a wig while the former was mere bad science fiction gift-wrapped by consultants as a 600 billion dollar hair-raiser. However, Dewang Mehta, the chief lobbyist for India’s fledgling software services industry, successfully managed both with matchless self-confidence, convincing businesses that at the stroke of midnight of the novel millennium, their computer systems would crash as old programs measured years in ‘2’ digits instead of ‘4’. He persuaded them that the solution was to let a horde of techies from Hyderabad and Bangalore go through each line of code and fix the ‘Y2K’ bug.
