India
I have had a busy two days in India. Today was hectic flying from Delhi to Bangalore for meetings and then back to Delhi for more meetings.
In a few weeks we will formally announce the opening of image sales operations in India. We are fortunate to have hired a top sales executive from one of our competitors and plan to have this fellow build our image sales in this significant country.
While on the subject of significance, I want to mention how impressed I am with the excitement I feel from the various business people I have met in two days in India. My India experience to date reminds me very much of being in Beijing in late 1999 and feeling a pulse of excitement caused by the smell of business growth in the air. India has that same feeling today! We think this will be good for the opening of our image operations here. The same for Internet.com.
We are about to select an ad sales rep firm here to present Internet.com and our 1 million unique visitors that we have from India every month. Hopefully this will be a pleasent new revenue source for us?
I rarely take time to to do tourist things on my trips. But tomorrow being Saturday I have decided to visit the Taj Mahal in Agra. Should be exciting. Sunday I fly to London for some meetings before returning to New York City on Tuesday.
One suggestion: Horace Greeley said "Go West young man" in the mid-19th century. Alan Meckler says: "Go to India young person" and make a bundle.
