It’s really a high time for Indian students. The placement season is still going on in some of the Institutes. Fresh talent is getting noticed not only by the Indian recruiters but by the foreign recruiters also. The Indian students are getting the highest ever offers and proving <img style="border: 3px solid black; margin: 3px 4px; float: right;" src="https://images.shiksha.com/mediadata/images/1268223690phphBWl7W.jpeg" alt="" width="140" height="99">their metal to the world. Most of the top recruiters for Indian students are from US this year. One bigger offer for Indian student came from one US Corporation. US corporations pick the best of young Indians. R. Shivaraman, a nanotechnology research scholar has been hired by hardware manufacturer Seagate Technology at an annual pay packet of $280,000 (Rs.1.4 crore). Shivaraman holds an Indian patent jointly with C. Gopalakrishnan, who is also a researcher with him at Nanotechnology Research Centre, SRM University. They jointly carried an innovation that enables a hard drive to hold a large amount of data - 30 terabyte (TB) - as against the current storage capacity of 500 gigabyte. "Patent under the US law is awaited," Shivaraman said, "polymer templated lithography process which allows fabrication of patterned magnetic media with density of around 30 TB". According to him, the technology for ultra-high data storage is already available and his innovation scores over others in the time taken to fabricate the hard drives. He added in this context, “I brought an engineering solution to the problem. Using our technology one can make eight hard drives in a minute.” He is planning to join Seagate in December by the time he will complete his doctorate in nanotechnology.
