Announcing PC's Electronic Components Blog

Welcome to PC's Electronic Components Blog!

Hi friends, in my quest to expand my network of blogs and sites, I have started this blog on electronic components.

Since my background is essentially in the B2B technology space, largely dealing with electronics and components, it is natural for me to roll out this blog. My journey in this specialist industry started way back in 1992-93 when I was the India writer for Asian Sources Electronic Components, thanks to my very dear friend, the late Ms. Rashmi Bhushan. I remain forever indebted to her for introducing me to this line! In those days, there was no Internet or email, and well, no literature to read about all of those components and products.

I remember distinctly, the first company I'd interviewed was L&T during a lighting show at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi, during a chilly winter afternoon. It was also my first instance of interacting with buyers of electronic components.

Later, as some of you may know, I had the privilege of being part of Global Sources, as well as Electronics Business Asia and Electronics Manufacturing Asia -- both at Reed Elsevier.

At Global Sources, I had the privilege of being the judge for the New Products Gallery at the spring and fall China Sourcing Fairs during 2006, thanks to the great confidence shown in me by my superiors -- Mark Saunderson and Alfred Cheng. I spent hours with another colleague, Ms Amber Ip, in evaluating rooms full of products. Later, my Bureau team mates -- Jambi Reyes and Darius Musni assisted me in this massive exercise.

There are some great team mates from other bureaus, who discussed electronic components very closely with me -- my dear friends Ray Ho, Thomas Young and Jo Kuo.

That experience enabled me to access, evaluate and write on a whole lot of electronic components. Not to speak of getting to meet a whole lot of quality suppliers and buyers.

This blog is absolutely new, and no posts or content has been transferred from any of my earlier blogs.

This blog will cover active and passive components, optoelectronics and photonics, PCBs, electronic manufacturing equipment, electromechanical components, subassemblies and parts, etc.

My challenge is to get all of those quality suppliers across Asia here. Having spent a considerable time in the Greater China region, I know the buzz and the potential of that region. My other aim would be to help Indian companies find a space here. I know there are a whole lot of buyers out there, constantly searching for great sources of electronic components. In fact, I myself help some companies in India to source components from the Greater China region.

Wish me luck, dear friends, and thanks for all of your of support. Drop a line if you'd like me to add something.
