  • Enteprise Mobility Practices In Retail – MoMo Event

    Mobile Monday is back with a Business session on Enterprise Mobility practices in Retail Industry. Retail today has become one of the most lucrative & rapidly changing industries. On the one hand, the pace of change continues to ramp up and customer attention spans shorten. On the other hand the lines between old and new retail practices. Digital is bleeding into physical retail (and vice versa), the wallet is merging into the smartphone, global retailers are moving into local markets, manufacturers are becoming retailers (and retailers manufacturers)…and on it goes. The nice, neat dividing lines of times past have been obliterated forever. The result is a gloriously messy, but positively exciting retail landscape.

    Day & Time:
    Monday, June 11, 2012 from 6:30 PM to 8:30

  • Can Aamir Khan Change India?

    Can Aamir Khan Change India?

    Trust Aamir Khan to break the mould and challenge the environment. The Marketing Genius with a Midas Touch has once again attempted to change the game. This time he wants India and Indians to change. A formidable challenge – but even if he changes one Indian, it is worth the effort. Atleast he is being a part of change, rather than being an arm-chair spectator.

    Aamir Khan’s foray in National Television ‘Satyameve Jayate‘ has all the right ingredients. A national topic. A problem that is stopping India from becoming a Shining India. The opening topic was the issue of female foeticide. The topic was given complete justice and all perspectives of the issue were covered. The ‘Call to Action’ was the petition and the donation. The huge awareness to the cause is a great service as well.

    Aamir’s marketing mind ensured that all the Star Properties and Doodarshan ensure that India does not miss the message. His collaborations with Airtel, Axis Bank and Reliance Foundation are the best advertisements for the power of marketing. Donate money to the causes via Airtel SMS. Donate Money via Online or Branch Banking at Axis Bank. Reliance Foundation matches the donations of the Indians.

    The idea is great. The causes will be relevant to growing India. He is doing the right thing. Can he bring Jasmine Revolution to India? Can he change the indifferent Indians? Can he change the social thinking? He is using all his prowess, popularity and intelligence Good ideas need good luck and good support. Let us support him in our own way – time, effort, support and money!

  • Celebrating The 100 Years Of Indian Cinema

    The Indian Film Industry enters its 100th year ! Time to celebrate and rejoice !

    Cinema was discovered in Europe and developed in the United States into a commercial product. It arrived in India immediately after it was invented at the turn of the 19th century.

    The beginning of India’s film industry can be traced to an advertisement which appeared in the Times of India on July 7, 1896, inviting people to witness “the wonder of the world,” Lumiere Brothers’ moving pictures. Lumiere Brothers showcased the six soundless short films at Bombay’s Watson Hotel on July 7, 1896. The very first Indian film was Wrestlers in 1899.

    The year 1913 marked the production and release of India’s first full-length indigenous silent feature film, Raja Harishchandra. It was made by Dhundirak Govind Phalke or Dadasaheb Phalke, who is also known as the ‘father of Indian cinema’. The film was released on May 3, 1913 at the Coronation Cinema, Bombay and had titles in Hindi and English. He was inspired by seeing a screening of Life of Christ in 1910. This movie not only became a runaway success, it also became the template of future. The film was first premiered on April 21, 1913. Thus today, Indian Cinema enters the 100th year !

    The Indian Film Industry is one of the most unique industries in India. Consider the following facts:
    1. It provides direct and indirect employment to nearly six million people.
    2. It is the most democratic and secular industry in India. The most educated and the least literate work together as a team.
    3. It provides entertainment to millions of people in today’s stressful times.
    4. It has the power to influence the society and its beliefs. Rang De Basanti led to retrial in Jessica Lal Murder case. Madhur’s Blue Saree in HAHK led revival of the industry in UP. Ek Duje Ke Liye unfortunately led to many suicides in love.
    5. It is India’s most famous export and the creator of Soft Power. Across nations and cultures, Bollywood is recalled and relished.
    6. It is the only film Industry in the world, where Hollywood has not been able to make inroads.
    7. It is the industry where talent, creativity and hard work can take you the top of the ladder.

    Let us celebrate the magic of Indian Cinema !

  • Defining InfoStretch’s Mojo

    All The Best To The InfoStretch Cricket League Teams. All The Best To Hackathon 2012 Participants.

    Everyone is talking about the two events, which has helped the InfoStretch Brand as well. InfoStretch has made rapid strides in the recent times. People often ask me the mantra for our success. What has made InfoStretch a known brand ?What is InfoStretch’s Mojo? Difficult Question indeed !

    InfoStretch has an unique and clear value proposition for the enterprise mobility world. Maybe that is the answer.

    InfoStretch has an impregnable domain expertise and thought leadership in device certification. Maybe that is the answer.

    InfoStretch has rich industry experience and impeccable knowledge in QA & Testing. Maybe that is the answer.

    InfoStretch has a strong leadership team with visionary management and passionate caring Infoneers. That seems to be the real answer.

    Infoneers are a sensitive lot with value for values ! They are the action-oriented individuals who want to be the agents of change. They strive to make a difference in the environment and the eco-system. It is reflected in the various initiatives taken up by Infoneers – voluntarily and selflessly !

    One prime example is the Jeevan Sandhya visit. Infoneers donated their time, money and care to the senior citizens. Serving love and food, they brought smiles to our parental figures. More than the joy, the impact they made was phenomenal. One Infoneer spent a considerable time with four women, who poured their life stories and hardships to him. At the end of that tearful hour, a strong connect was made over ice-creams and lighter hearts. Another Infoneer talked about the gossip and cricket – normal things are more special for these citizens.

    Manav Sadhana was another memorable and rich experience in the recent past. However, the passion of Infoneers is not just restricted to Social Initiatives. It is active in areas like Mobile Monday Ahmedabad and InfoStretch Cricket League as well. The former, where Infoneers are sharing their knowledge and experience to enrich the eco-system and create the rising talent for a rising Gujarat. The InfoStretch Cricket League is the reward to the local IT Companies to showcase their cricketing talent and compete for the glory. The league has received an overwhelming response even before the first bowl has been bowled. It speaks highly of our reputation and team’s hard work.

    Finally, every Infoneer who finds that extra bug, every Infoneers who responds to the customer call at night, who codes that special magic on phone and who does the job right – is a winner. Each Infoneer is building and growing InfoStretch – one step at a time, one breath at a time !
