Surya Nair (IR 06) is now a regular columnist for Mobile Industry Review.
She is introduced to the 300,000+ readership of the site as:
the first of the new MIR 3.0 columnists, Surya Nair.
Surya is in her mid-twenties and always has a particularly interesting take on the mobile industry.
If you’re not following her on Twitter, I recommend you do (username: @suryasnair).
Surya was born in South India’s Kerala region and got her first handset (a Nokia 6110) when she completed her degree in Engineering. Yup, no ‘politics’ or ‘media studies’ here. *Engineering*.
Surya is a veritable java, mainframe, SQL and mobile handset genius. In her time she’s enjoyed the Nokia 9300i (me too), the E90 (nice), the N82 (lovely camera) and currently, she’s sporting the Nokia N97. So whilst you might paint her as a mobile geek-head, hold there a moment.
For some reason, she stopped everything and took an MBA in Human Resources — before joining a large European mobile player. That means she not only avoids the ‘marriage question’ (foremost on the minds of most mothers, even worse, I gather, with Indian mothers) but she is also assured of a ready supply of new gizmos to play with.
In terms of applications she’s a regular user of the N97 integrated Facebook app, the Sports Tracker app, SP Brain Evaluation, and, “Of course, Gravity for Twitter”.
This all makes for a rather interesting columnist. Time then for part 1 of Surya’s contributions here at Mobile Industry Review.
Her first article is “No mom, you can’t have a free phone.” The perils of working for a mobile manufacturer.
