The year 2007 was an important milestone for the IT sector in India: A one of its kind supercomputer, EKA, was released that year and it was ranked the fourth fastest supercomputer in the world. EKA helped India make a mark globally, joining the leagues of countries like USA, who had dominated this sector until then. Additionally, EKA also played a major role in the Chandrayaan project, which was another leap ahead for India technologically. In EKA: Birth of an Indian Supercomputer, Harish Bhat narrates the story of how it came to be a crowning IT achievement of the country and details the journey of two Indian scientists, Dr Sunil Sherlekar and Dr Narendra Karmarkar, in creating one of the fastest supercomputers with the support of one of the most powerful companies of India, the Tatas.
