Great news actually, as mentioned in my earlier post about the "big players coming in to India" the competition will now further increase. Just wondering, does India really have this kind of a business ?
Well I am sure every one out there is going to tell me about the success stories, the Indian Internet industry has seen in the past couple of years and yada yada......
I agree upon the fact that the industry has definitely grown and is moving ahead. The concern lies with the corporates who still have not seen this growing and don't have a strategic dept which can handle this medium. The people sitting at the top seats are still unaware how important it is to have a specialist group to manage the company's marketing and branding portfolio on the Internet.
As of now all these top honchos are busy playing the "me too" sports and are happy duplicating things.
I could give few good number of names of the companies which have great online presence in rest of the world but their Indian counter parts are still unaware "How to go about it" and they expect their offline marketing team to come up with strategies.
lolzzzzzzzz.
Think this post has become slightly long than expected, so will continue it in the next post. Untill then lets buckle up our shoes and work towards making this a movement, and make the corporates realise that specialist are important and having a team of strategists for the internet medium is the need of the hour.

Hi Saurav,
Gr8 stuff... keep blogging...
Personally I feel that the online community in India is a 'closed' (COM)munity and hence the learnings are by far limited within the circle...
More of us keep blogging, means more people would know about marketing in the digital world...
As long as the B-schools do not have a specific subject on Digital Marketing, let us keep the flag flying.. :)
Cheers

Hi Santosh,
Thank you for writing on a2b .
I woulnot have been able to put it any better :).
You have very specifically targeted the root itself. I completely agree with you on this aspect that our very own esteemed B-schools have still not changed much in their curriculums. They still teach the same things that they have been teaching in the past two decades.
So may be the next time in the IAMAI conference, we should put this point and probably do seminars or workshops for these B schools!!
Cheers!
