Tonight, Infosys celebrated its 25th anniversary. In attendance were the CEO of Infosys, Chief Minister of Karnataka, which is the state Mysore is in (only the Prime Minister of India is higher than this guy), Financial Minister of Karnataka, and other government officials. They had some speeches, I left when they were done, and then they had a concert of sorts for its employees. It was a very big moment for the country and for its employees.
An official article can be read here.
Tomorrow evening (9:00 am EST) is when the NASDAQ will be opened from here. In case you didn’t read the previous article, this will be the first time the NASDAQ will be opened from a foreign country and only the third time outside of NYC. It should be very exciting.

I would like to correct you a bit.
You can’t say that the chief minister is the ultimate power source in an Indian state.There is a Governer for every Indian state.He is the one who have to sign the approved bills and make them “laws”.
If said corrctly Governer is just a “rubber stamp” like the President of India (Central Government).They don’t interfere much in day to day activities.
NB:President of India is the head of Indian Armed Forces, Air Force and Navy..so he is not really a rubber stamp
