CHENNAI: A career in information technology involves rigorous training and hard work, and if one is committed to this, the rewards are plenty, S. Ramadorai, CEO and MD, Tata Consultancy Services, has said.

Inaugurating "InsighT," a summer computer training workshop in Modern Senior Secondary School, Nanganallur, Mr. Ramadorai said to become a successful professional, one should have team spirit, communication skills and etiquette.
