More about him here

Dear friends,

It has been an extremely eventful year for our industry. Sheer grit and determination have seen many of our members stay afloat, while some have scaled newer heights. In that sense, a deserving pat on the back to Himanshu Sharma and his team at Devnagri for raising $600k in seed funding. This news came within weeks of another CITLoB member, Rian.io, raising money. What is particularly gratifying is how these companies have managed to stick their neck out even in these turbulent times. There have been more success stories and we will try and cover each of those through the various features in IndoVox in the days to come.

At CITLoB, buoyed by the success of our first annual conference, we have wasted no time in getting down to planning more activities and you will hear from our Secretary in due course of time. As usual, I would like to urge each one of you to reach out to us if you have any specific topic in mind that you would like us to cover. It will help us tailor sessions, speakers and experts that give you the kind of knowledge, information and support that you are seeking.

On a completely different note, November is also the month of FICCI-ILIA’s flagship event, Bhashantara. CITLoB will be supporting this event and you can reach out to me if you want to get involved in any capacity. It is a terrific platform make new connections and put your brand in the spotlight. I will share more information on that front soon.

In the meantime, do take care of yourself and your families and stay safe. Happy reading and happy CITLoBing.

Dear friends,

The show will go on! I know that these are indeed difficult times for all of us and nearly everyone we know has either been infected themselves or has been through some anxious times owing to someone really close to us coming down with the virus. With several states in the country facing the wrath of this endless second wave, the industry has been affected too and one can sense it in the way some of our clients have gone into decision paralysis when it comes to spending on localisation.

Be that as it may, I am confident that this too shall pass. What’s important, however, is that we keep the focus and endeavour to find stability through this adversity. Being homebound with a little more mind space than we usually have, this is a good time to look back, analyse,reprioritise and move forward with positivity and confidence. And while you are at it, we will continue to support you with a selection of webinars that we or our partner associations organise.

This is also a good time to invite all of you to consider hosting a webinar yourself. After having co-hosted the first few webinars with one of our Founding Members and North Zone President, M.L. Sudheen, I am now confident that we have been able to put in place all the systems and procedures that would allow others to get involved seamlessly. Hosting a webinar will not only give you and your business great national and international visibility but will also allow you to strengthen your professional network, while positioning yourself as one of the leading voices of our industry, as someone who facilitates knowledge sharing.

If this is something that interests you, please do not hesitate to reach out to me or to the Secretary of CITLoB, Asavari Tamhane, or to the Secretary of CITLoB-ALP, Rasika Gumaste. We would be more than happy to help.

In the meantime, do take care and stay safe. Happy reading and happy CITLoBing.
