Marketing and sales is often most misunderstood role in IT business. More so in ITSME circles, which face a never ending anxiety on top- line, bottom-line, scalability and cash flow sustainability. While big companies can never match the agility and close relationship based support of the ITSMES s to the clients, yet we suffer scalability and resistance from big buyers.

In the recent times, I enjoyed these following advertisements: The incredible India ads being done by our Tourism ministry is scintillating.  That too the portrayal of the North  east regions are so good and it also lets us know what we have missed seeing those beauties just because they are under our noses.    What a lovely portrayal of the rich colour and tradition and culture of those regions.   I am sure that I want to go to these place asap. The second one I enjoyed was the recent ads by idea cellular - where Abishek Bacchan in reply to the other person saying " No idea" says that's is the reason for their problems and so " Get Idea" - very creative ad indeed. Kudos to both the agencies for bring our nice ads.

It is very rarely that we come across people in Public, who exhibit a clear stand of Standing up for their principles.  More than his batting credentials, this one act of Sachin declining the ad revenue that he would have got for endorsing a private liquor brand, will be something that would make youngsters to look up to HIM.  He has shown to his fan following is that Principles and  personal integrity is much higher than money.   This is what Subrato talks about in his book The Professional" May  God give more and more to Sachin, for this best thing that he has done.
