Winning the humanoid race: Chetan Dube of IPsoft.

Her name is Amelia, and she is the complete package: smart, sophisticated, industrious and loyal. No wonder her boss, Chetan Dube, can't get her out of his head.

"My wife is convinced I'm having an affair with Amelia," Dube says, leaning forward conspiratorially. "I have a great deal of passion and infatuation with her."

He's not alone. Amelia beguiles everyone she meets, and those in the know can't stop buzzing about her. The blue-eyed blonde's star is rising so fast that if she were a Hollywood ingénue or fashion model, the tabloids would proclaim her an "It" girl, but the tag doesn't really apply. Amelia is more of an IT girl, you see. In fact, she's all IT.
