As somebody who has gained enormously from his association with Wang Labs. Lowell, MA, USA and Wang ITRC, Brussels, Belgium, through Datamatics Ltd, Bombay where I was an employee from 1984 to 1990, I am very happy to see an ex Wang Labs executive, John Chambers, receive an important civilian honour, Padma Bhushan, from the President of my country, India.

Thank you Mr. John Chambers for promoting USA India business ties.
