The

projects and becoming a strategic partner to SEI.
Sitara has been identified as the only candidate
transition partner in India to deliver the
Introduction to CMMI-SE/SW course.
"We are the facilitators of change management,
process improvement and technology adoption. We take a
holistic view of all the key issues involved like
software processes, people, acquisition, dealing with
bureaucracy. We believe in building efficiency within
the system, not the processes alone," said Sitara
Technologies CEO and chairman Raghav S Nandyal.
The excellence framework in development does not
aim at information technology sector alone. "We
think politics also is a sector worthy of implementing
quality processes and change management. Our framework
is targeted towards politics as well as information
technology and automobiles. We have plans for all
segments - small, medium and big. Initially we are
planning to do pilot consultancies for free of cost.
Hopefully, our final product would be released by the
fourth quarter," Raghav said.

intent. We get our revenues from our consultancy
business," he said. The course has integrated

discipline, family therapy, neuro linguistic
programming and learning organisation paradigm.
