DISCUSSERS!

Well this blog is the 'minutes' of the discussions the following had on various hypothetical marketing cases:

CIBI

Belongs to Chennai, during school days was educationally spoilt by constant mistaken admiration , graduated from IIT Kharagpur in Industrial Engg ,God knows how, and now working for an upcoming steel company in Orissa thus working according to his college motto TO THE SERVICE OF THE NATION!

And btw.. its me!

OMKAR

aka OK! Belongs to Berhampur, a not-so-nationally-known, but the busiest commodity trading town of Orissa (or rather Odisha...). He chucked away his studies at 15 to pursue the obvious company of the bat and the ball but life chucked him back to studies within a year. So in order to counter the frustration of being a part of the education system, he set up his own internet cafe business (most probably the first one in that town!!) and facing instant strong competition (coz its a town where every profit making venture is competitive!) instigated the manager in him and he marketed and operated his business so effectively and efficiently that it remained a success till he leased it out so as to pursue an MBA.

And he pursued it in IT and Project Management while being pampered by his Marketing professors. And he works as a Project Executive and was befriended by me as I have an eye for smartness! ;-)
