Rodinhooder Prashant has never covered an event before. But if you read his takeaways from a recent TiE event on FUNDING – you’d never think so! Pls bookmark this post, there are lots of interesting pitching tips for first timers here!! #RodinStar
We all remembered Steve Jobs on his b’day; and as a small tribute, we’ve put up some App ideas for Apple Watch (suggested by fellow rodinhooders in B’lore) – pls share your ideas or tell us WHY the listed ideas WILL OR WON’T work!
The new gold rush – funding of companies in the ecom space! Everyone’s fav topic ! And Naveen just stirred the pot!! 🙂
We’ve got some great webinars in our Video section courtesy Digital Vidya. Watch the founder of Shack Co. talk on the future of Digital Marketing: Brand Communities.
