Troubled Hutch CEO, Asim Ghosh is showing no signs of weariness. I haven’t been able to test their Plant Hutch services but looks like they want a bigger pie of the Mobile Value Added Servieces market.
Asim Ghosh negotitated with Japanese NTT DoCoMo to introduce i-mode technology to Hutch customers in India.
