BarCamp returns to Mumbai again - Third Edition – 29 March at IIT Bombay

BarCamp Mumbai 2 was a big hit with over 200 attendees and a day full of discussions on many interesting topics and ideas. BarCamp Mumbai 3 is now on the cards for 29th March at School of Management at IIT Mumbai. In the true spirit of BarCamp it's an open platform which anyone can make her own. Anyone can participate, anyone can speak, agenda is drawn collectively at the start and any topic is welcome as long as you have others interested as well.



This time the infrastructure has been extended in view of the overwhelming participation last time. The venue can accommodate around 400 people. In addition, the open spaces within the building will have mattresses which can be used by groups of people to discuss or to just take a break.



This edition will also host a BlogCamp which will have people talk about all things blog and also other aspects of social media and marketing. There is also FireTalk where you can talk about your idea and exhort like minded people to join you – it can be a cool app or a full scale business plan. The people gathered thus prepare a broader blueprint offline and then present it to larger audience later in the day.



Come and make this your own BarCamp. Over a 100 people have already registered.

Beware ! Indian Online Advertising Industry

Im about to complete my MBA finally and have accepted offer for a management role with Tyroo Media , a STIG group company (which also owns Qusar Media,Zoomtra etc ).

Intrestingly Yahoo hiolds around 40% stake in Tyroo - with major competitors being Google Advertising Network apart from the host of such networks that have entered the indian online advertising market recently .

My role will be in the Business Development teamTeam -aka building relations with the advertisers and ensuring they maximise thier ROI and stick with us.

Its a dream job , though may pay lesser than the ICICI offer i have in hand. As they say - follow your passion, and everything else follows !

Online Forums -The Power Of Information Exchange

There was a time- and there is this time. Its amazing how much technology can improve and assist in making life easier for users !

Am refferring to world of internet in general and the concept of online forums in specific.

There are a few i personally am hooked on to

MBA Aspirants Forum
Reliance Mobile Forum
Ahmedabad City Forum
HR FORUM
SEO Forum

You must have visited many, been part of few and got hooked on to one or two.Its everywhere and it amazes me how it facilitates free flow of information and knowledge and breaks down barriers to communication.

You no longer need to wait till u catch hold of a friend's friend to get the information you were seeking. You no longer need to make your critical decisons based on half baked knowledge and rumours

Well i was so hooked on to this concept that i myself initiated one for ICFAI -my MBA institute and its roaring with 2000 members with amazing flow of highly classified informations already !


All you need to do , is to login to the relevant online forum and ASK ! soon u shift mode from just asking to sharing , and join the world of online communities !

Which ones do u visit regularly?

Rocker's League - Rock on IBS !

IbsRocks is a Community for students and alumni of IBS across all centers.

History is in making with launch of Rocker's Cricket League – a first of its kind in IBS fraternity.

With the placements season for the Senior batch reaching its penultimate phase, there is a festive mood on the campus. We observed everyone playing gully cricket at their backyards. So we thought its time now for some real action! It's time now for the boys to be Men !

Registrations closed on 15th Nov and we are all set for the event to be held on 25th Nov & 2nd Dec 2008 at Chiranjeev Ground , Gurgaon.

This event would witness drama and fun of the highest order, but would also be a great opportunity for the Junior batches to get close to their seniors and counterpart from other campuses.
