 John Ribeiro is correspondent for India, and is based in Bangalore, India's hi-tech hub. He covers the IT industry in India, focusing on offshore outsourcing, technologies and strategies to bridge the digital divide, and semiconductor design in India.
He started with the political beat in 1985, writing for a Mumbai-based weekly called The Sunday Observer. By 1987 he had moved to writing on IT and the semiconductor industry, tracking India's then fledgling IT industry. He forecast a boom in outsourcing to India as way back as 1990, and by 1991 he had written that not only software development but a lot of other work such as chip design would get moved to India.
He has been writing on the IT and semiconductor industries in India ever since, first as an editor at Computerworld India and PC World India, magazines published by the Indian franchisee of IDG, and later as a regional correspondent for EDN Asia and Electronic Business Asia published from Hong Kong. He has been writing for the IDG News Service since 2000.
Ribeiro earned a Masters in Economics from the University of Bombay. He was born in the former Portuguese colony of Goa, and speaks Portuguese and two local languages, Konkani and Hindi, besides English. He is married and has one daughter.
He has to his credit exclusive interviews with some of the leaders in the IT and semiconductor industries in India and abroad.
