Online Social Lending comes to India

Posted on January 11, 2009August 24, 2024 by Unny

Much has been written about how internet has changed our lives and how it is leading us to Life 2.0. What is often spoken and written about is how the Social Media is changing marketing and advertising as we know it and there is enough of hype around it. And that is missing the wood for…

“Markets are Conversations”

Posted on March 15, 2008August 17, 2024 by Unny

(This was first written and published in 2008) Have you heard of Social Technographics? Social what? Or have you read the research paper ‘Sources and Consequences of Embeddedness of the Economic Performance of the Organizations: The Social Network effect’. Huh! I still haven’t understood the title itself. But then if you are in the online…

A Sunday Blog Feast

Posted on March 12, 2008August 24, 2024 by Unny

This year (ie June 2007 till now) has not been great from the point of view of our trekking feats. (I have a vague sense of this timeframe called year. Neither does it start in January nor in April. More on that later). Hectic travel schedules (returning to town mostly on Saturday mornings), the continuing saga…

The business of Attention

Posted on March 2, 2008August 24, 2024 by Unny

Much has been written about ‘The Attention Economy’. I heard about this term only a couple of months back. While I haven’t understood all the philosophical moorings behind this term, the fact that money is spent all the time to get people’s attention and there is a whole economy behind that is simply baffling. When…

‘Since When’ ? Of Age and Herit’ Age

Posted on February 26, 2008August 24, 2024 by Unny

Some brand logos with bylines that talk about their age or heritage always conveyed certain timelessness or strength. I am talking those brands with logos that says ‘Since 1805’ kinds. The St. Gobain byline is one of my favorites. ‘The Future of Glass. Since 1665’. There are a few others as well. The South Indian hotel in my residential…

Luxury of Simple Life

Posted on February 25, 2008August 24, 2024 by Unny

First things first. The title is a straight lift from a regular column in Mint. And plagiarism ends there. After driving to office all this while in a car, I am now back to Mumbai’s lifeline – the suburban rail. I am a firm supporter of public transport. Even those days when I was driving…

God reaffirms that Digital is the way

Posted on May 18, 2007August 24, 2024 by Unny

Marketing initiatives by religious groups sounds funny (even God needs the 4Ps) and therefore continues to interest me. Following the Eastpoint church’s path (see the earlier story in this blog ‘And God said: In Digital I trust’), www.preachingtoday.com from Christianity Today International discovers that digital initiatives pay when it comes to achieving marketing objectives. The new case study…

And God said, ‘In Digital I Trust’

Posted on April 13, 2007August 22, 2024 by Unny

I have always believed that it is only a matter of time before the temples, churches and mosques in the country (and the world) become full fledged business institutions, with targets, P&L, Balance sheet and listing on stock exchanges. In a fast moving, commercialized world, peace of mind, stress-relief etc. comes with a cost and…

Please hold the line, sir, Hum Hai Na?

Posted on April 12, 2007August 22, 2024 by Unny

This is an article which I wrote sometime back in an abandoned blog and later published by The Brand Reporter and agencyfaqs!. Since this is the only article which i found worth preserving from my earlier blog, it is posted here. Mein hoo na, Dil Se …Thank you for holding the line…. You are a valuable customer…. Please hold…

name 2.0 (beta)

Posted on March 21, 2007August 21, 2024 by Unny

Kittu, Bittu, Boni, Bunny, Goldy, Channi, Babbi, Dimpa. This is no kindergarten roll call but a list of ‘‘surnames’’ adopted by some of the candidates who fought the hotly-contested Punjab elections…… (a report in Indian Express about Punjabi politicians adopting universal, forever young nick name). But have you heard about these names? – Gladoo, Calgoo, Zattoo, Zingee,…
