Two months since Prolore

Two months since inception!

It's going to be almost 2 months since inception of Prolore Search Marketing Pvt. Ltd. come 4th of December and I'm beginning to find myself in the marsh land of doing business. Not that things are bad, but godd! So many things at time or rather everything at the same time that call for decision making which may have long term implications - I guess this is pressure working at it's best.

But, this is exactly what I wanted! Push my limits, break the wall and move ahead! thankfully, I have another business to sustain all the pressures and sickened cash flows of my new start-up.

The good news is that since the concept of being a PPC agency in Bangalore is new to the local market, Google India got in touch to help me work on new client wins in the Indian market! So, this gives Prolore a chance to provide all of it's potential new clients with off the market Google Adwords Vouchers.

I almost can't stop thinking of what next steps are to be taken for Prolore even when I'm asleep!
Facebook is no more the first thing in the morning for me now, it's checking my work e-mails! (I love it!)

If any of you know of the marketing heads of any Small & Meduim Enterprises in Bangalore who would be interested in advertising on Google with ROI in mind, please do feel free to contact me on my work e-mail - harsha.jadhav@prolore.com

Thanks! Now, gotta rush for a meeting, will try and write more in the next post! Promise! :)

Lame Reasons! Search Marketing?!

Right, after about a year and 8months I get a chance to be e-active on this blog of mine! I'll agree that am a poor blogger.. but many who know me wouldn't say I was being e-inactive.

Mostly because of my sometimes random facebook status updates or some tweets my friends start to get bombarded with that they don't always understand!

Apart from that, I love internet and can't imagine life without it! well, basically I make a living out of it.. so no complaints taken.

Search entices me, I sometimes wish for a search engine that could find me my lost favourite pen! But, the wonders of search for me are limited to the virtual world and I thoroughly enjoy it!

With a bold decision (i think!) to start a SEO/SEM agency in Bangalore called ProLore, I just can't afford to be e-inactive! The journey of learning when starting a new firm/company so far has probably been the best experience in my life. The kind of pressures and tasks to handle are so very challenging that I couldn't ask for any more drilling.

Why did I decide to start this agency?
Simply put, that's what I know and it is my passion! But strategically, there are very few specialistic SEM agencies in Bangalore and the opportunities are massive. Maybe not in the near future but on a long term, this would be something I wouldn't regret getting into even if I fail (hopefully not!)

I even declined many exciting job offers but won't deny that I almost was bought into one of them! Luckily, they wanted me to relocate and I wasn't willing to do that!

So, this has been my reason for blog-inactivity.
I'll call a start over again and try being more blog-active!

If I've bored you to death, sorry! and you're still alive!

A fight in vain – Dedicated to my angel sister.

It probably wasn't until my 7^th grade that I realised my dear sister was totally blind. I always assumed she was normal and had difficulty reading, writing and seeing distant objects, even when I had skipped one of my 4^th grade classes to check on her whilst she was trying to find her way to the school’s common lavatory. I wasn’t surprised to hear my dad cursing the chairman of my school who had asked him to “put her in the right place meant for her and not at Aurobindo!” in the following academic year! With not many options left, Dad made a hefty donation to a school that could even be called as one and got her admitted there for her education. Her fight had started then.

The little blind 1^st grader had to tackle the challenges of an unseen world only to prove that she could. She continued her fight with the visually gifted and with time she only grew stronger...  stronger than I could ever imagine.

She had graduated 12^th scoring better than many of her visually gifted peers. With this tinge of success, her endeavour to take over this world strengthened. Sooner than anyone around could even notice, she was studying for her bachelor’s degree and had found her route map to success.  A computer course for the visually challenged, landing her a job at one of the Blue chip companies in India’s IT capital.

But, this route came to her at a cost she could never have imagined nor her loved ones who were all too busy in their own bloody world.

She had decided to leave the family for more than one reason and take up the course living in an all girl charitable hostel for blind women named, Mithrajyothi. I had the luxury of meeting and seeing her only in the weekends as she would always be busy with the course and visits to various organisations. I was proud of her as I believed she had proven her point, she had won; guess god almighty was as well!

I never saw her the same way after 20^th Dec ’09. She was gone at 1.03 am, 29^th Dec ’09.

Following morning, as I continued watching her lay cold and blue, her mobile phone rang and the caller needed to confirm her availability for an interview!

I pray for her and believe she lives eternally surrounded with radiance all around.

R.I.P Guddu. Will miss you forever.

My first Blog!

As promised on the new Google Buzz and my Facebook status about a month ago, I would like to mark this amateurish blog post as the beginning of what I call being 'e-active'!

After a trenchant year in India, I am now back in London to start a career and begin my professional journey!
I will be posting on things I have come across in my life previously and what I have learnt out of them without disclosing real people involved for obvious reasons.

What you will get to read is a narration of my travel history, my almost personal life encounters, adventures, music and lessons only life can teach.

With my blogs, I hope to reach large audience and help the many blind people in our world.
I do apologise if you find any of my views and posts offensive, do comment on them and I shall respond accordingly.
