Well my Indian friend wasn't able to help with any more specifics. He says Ashoka Plaza is a very common name in Inida. Many cities have plazas by this name and it's even possible Pune has more that one complex called Ashoka Plaza. He says you really have to rely on the address more than any thing. (Which google can't hande in this case)

One funny bit of trivia... He says that for years Pune was concidered a retirement community for Bombay with less traffic, less people and mild weather. Sounds like a perfect place for an OS in Amiga's condition.

He says also that Pune is becoming more commercial. Perhaps Pune is also looking to make a come back. I hear they may even have a hockey team.

So if the Kent deal falls through we might have the Amiga Center at Pune?


@Tomas

You ever call them to see if their number works over there?

Nope, the "Apply Now" button for supposed open positions still says "Under maintenance". Nothing new, LOL!

Also the 50 to 60 employees approximately are still not done on Whack Force, Connect Force, Scotty FTP, News Force, IMAP Force, Telnet Force, or Amiga Sudoku. I wonder what they actually do day to day?

@Pyramider

Well in ADI's defense your property listing is for floor 1, and ADI is supposedly on floor 6.

As for the current domain, Vince Pfeifer is the one who registered the domain. Its interesting that its not the Amiga office address. From Google Maps it would appear to be a residence:

My bad!

Look for "india, pune, international school of business" on google maps, and you'll come up with the same building as Syrtran.

Yes, quite interesting indeed, do you have a link for what their average sales were that you are quoting? And they can't even finish the products that the parent company (Amiga Delaware) has commissioned for them. How very odd IMHO. BTW their website is hosted on the same box as Amiga.com in Waterbury, CT it looks like.
