The supporting “Pillars” of our climber

Before the BCD5 plant gains enough strength in its own stem, it needs a lot of strong support. Effectively behaving as a climber, it started looking for something it can clung onto. Not devoid of generosity, lady luck smiled. We got in touch with Bhavin Turakhia at Directi. He got us talking to a community evangelist at his organization. Some emails, some phone calls and a lot of discussions later - Directi was proudly standing on the podium meant for our Platinum Sponsor. From their website - ” Directi (http://www.directi.com) is a 300+ million dollars group of Businesses, that develop innovative mass-market Web Products serving millions of Customers worldwide. “

Currently employing 550 employees, Directi has got to do with a lot of technologies that you will hear or discuss at the Barcamp. But one big stem might not have proved enough for our little climber plant. It needs some more pillars in the foundation. Enter Rediff and Global Logic onto our silver podium. Rediff as a company needs no introduction. They had proved to be wonderful sponsors at the Proto event in Delhi. Global Logic on the other hand is another technology company, with its headquarters in Virginia, USA. Its Indian operations are based out Pune, Bangalore and Noida.

No mistaking the above good news, we haven’t stopped looking for more “sponsoring” pillars. There is room for more effort and money to be pumped into this event. We are already in conversation with a few prospective sponsors.

Many thanks to all the people involved from these places. They have helped us create a good solid base, from where we hope to build up a fine piece of work representing all the energy, enthusiasm and passion that exists in the entrepreneur-ially inclined sections of the society.

Arrival of the sponsoring stems has provided the much needed strength for our little plant to start climbing newer heights. Its ready to reach out and join “The League of Entrepreneurship Giants”. Amen.
