Unlock and Unleash
“We are very happy to bring this first issue of IndoVox to you” would be an understatement. This first issue surely brings in a sense of responsibility, anticipation and comradery.
It is also coinciding with Unlock 2.0 in some States. Many of us have reinvented and reorganised ourselves during the lockdown. We hope to see the unleashed energy and umpteen opportunities in localisation, interpretation and language business, especially for India..
IndoVox aspires to be the Voice of the Indian Language Industry. It will showcase your success, keep you informed of the efforts made by the association for its members and trade, bring to you various opportunities, and also help you prepare you for ‘the next big thing’. It would be a good blend of some learning, some sharing, some unlearning, some news and some views, some global insight and some local gyaan. This is your platform and only your contributions will make it better and relevant for everyone who are sailing in the same boat. Please do share your achievements, questions, articles, studies and anything that would benefit all the members.
CITLoB is present on all major digital media platforms, mostly in real time. IndoVox would rather attract more and more readers to the CITLoB website and its social media pages.
In this issue, you will be reading the interview of Mr. Geoffrey Bowden, Secretary of the EUATC. It will be interesting to read how a trade association and partnerships between trade associations can help members and trade. Mr. Sandeep Nulkar, President of CITLoB, will be writing an article every month about the developments of trade in the country. This issue also carries a list of members. I would like to thank all the members who suggested 15 creative and meaningful names for this newsletter. We simply had to have a designated space for the story of how this newsletter’s name came to be.
I thank all the members for their spontaneous and hearty responses to my first communication. It reassures me of your support and encourages me to experiment. Awaiting your feedback, suggestions and contributions.
