CHENNAI: A Chennai-based e-learning portal on cross-cultural skills has been retrofitted for a global launch during the Salaam India expo, which will be held in Singapore between August 15 and 19.
The portal, www.globalindian.com, is targeting members of the Indian diaspora who are keen on cross-cultural nuances, ranging from soft skills to international etiquette. Infosys founder N. R. Narayana Murthy will launch the portal on August 17 at the event, which is co-hosted by Zak Trade Fairs and Exhibitions and Singapore Tourism Board to commemorate the diamond jubilee of Indian Independence.
According to Ranjini Manian, founder-CEO of Global Adjustments, who conceptualised the portal, the course content has been structured to enable expatriates get jobs in software companies and help those already in corporate slots to enhance soft skills for career advancement. The programme provides subscribers an interactive multimedia-based, self-paced learning experience — 12 hours of audio-video lessons on international etiquette, cross-cultural tools and effective communication with world cultures.
