Dear SIPA members-
I am aware that age discrimination is illegal in the United States - I
therefore retract my posting made earlier today in which one team
position
for our new ventures inadvertently mentioned an age requirement. This
needs
to be stricken off. As this list was initially prepared for distribution
within India, the amendments required for an international list were not
made due to oversight. Please treat this as a retraction of our earlier
email.
Regards
Mohit Gupta
