When I went to Net4India Office
I went to Net4India office today for some official work. And happened to meet a senior dude who was telling us about this new hoopla surrounding the newly opened to public .in domains. I was more interested in getting my own work done.
During the meeting, that marketing dude got an important call. The call apparently was from the IndiaMart people. Perhaps, the biggest network of websites in India. We were intrigued on what they were planning to do next!
The call was related to the now infamous .in domains as IndiaMart was going to buy lots (I really mean LOTS) of domains. When his call was over, we just out of fun asked whether the call was indeed from the IndiaMart guys. The guy was surprised and asked us how we knew about them and if we were a client of theirs or something.
Well, I could only convey to him at that moment that IndiaMart was not a company I was dealing with, it is COMPETITION…
It took a couple of seconds for that guy to get what I meant! It was fun.
Best moment of the day? I found a computer in the Net4India office where the dude used Opera at work! Lucky them, they have a smart individual working in their office…
