Product Launch - Gionee ELIFE E6 Smartphone

Hi Guys,

It was some lucky moments when you want something to be there and you get that sooner than you have thought. I wanted to attend some more of the Product launch events and got an invite from one of the famous event management and brand building company managing a lot of big clients like LG and many more.

It was very humble on their part to invite me to the Gionee E6 launch event which was scheduled on 3 Oct at The Oberoi Hotel, New Delhi. The Royal ballroom was fully decorated with circular tables and a debate was going on "China vs Made in China" paradox headed by none other than Rajiv Makhni.


It felt great to see the person whom we loved on NDTV and also seeing him live & talking about the stuff you love to listen was awesome.


Never ever I knew about the company but after watching an entrepreneur talking about his vision I felt inspired a lot. Arvind R Vohra, Director Syntech Technology is the guy I am talking about.

The panel included Nikhil Mathur, Subhash Chandra, Rajat Aggarwal, P. K. Roy and Bharat Nagpal.  After the discussion every panel member was presented with the newly yet to be launched E6 phone.


It was time to give everyone a brief about the company and get on with the launch of Gionee Elife E6 Smartphone. With Global footprints, the Gionee is likely to go local with their mobile customizations based on the networks across the globe.

 The setup facility that is setup for 80mn handsets is running at 60mn at the moment. Everything is done inhouse.
It's a small township they have established in China. Research and Development facility is divided on the basis of various operating models.

 The beautiful looking design room really brings out the innovation in every employee working there.
 Unless they get the delivery systems right, they don't target that city or country whatever be it. Still they are looking for partners in Delhi and Mumbai and hopefully they have found out some great ones which will start doing business by mid of October.
 Their plan is very simple as India and China has 42% market share, so target India and take on from there.

 Arvind explained the plan to build their brand in India and what he has done to do the same? It was really a great presentation and being an MBA myself, I totally loved it.
 With the right product in their baskets, they just need to put the pressure on the accelerator for Indian Markets.

How they are going to gain momentum in building their brand and phone market was well explained. It looked good on the presentations but the actuals will be showcased to the world in the coming months and years.

I wish all the very best to the Gionee Mobile for launching their flagship model E6 in India.

After the presentation, it was the well awaited launch of  Gionee Elife E6 - "Do More with Less" and to my surprise there was Huma Qureshi who unveiled the phone.

 She is the brand ambassador of the E6 Smartphone and really loved the looks and design of the phone.
After the launch at the experience store, I fell in love with the white version of E6. It looked great, form factor was awesome, thin, shiny and really it meant "Do More With Less".

The lunch was served by The Oberoi Hotel on the round tables we were sitting in. It was an amazing starters, main course and dessert. Wine was being served continuously. The goodies bag has Gionee material and a branded Tshirt.   

I felt jealous of all the panel members who got the mobile in their hands, and also of those tech bloggers/companies who got the phone for testing/review that I decided to be ONE very soon.

I will also follow Gionee E6 vision of DO MORE WITH LESS!

Looking forward to the same asap!

Cheers!!!

Live_InStyle - McDowell's Karaoke World Championshiop - Zonal Finals

Hi Guys,

I was a lucky fellow to be selected by Live_InStyle (http://www.liveinstyle.com/) to cover one of the most sought after Karaoke Title Championship in the city. LiveinStyle is one of the best guide to leading a glamorous and stylish life. I really loves to watch all the events unfold in front of my eyes on their website. This is really a tool to remain aware about what's happening in your city.

 
The venue selected for the Zonal finals of this year's 2013 KWC Indian Trials was 100% Rock at Ambience Mall, Vasant Kunj. It started raining in the evening and in Delhi, during evenings if it starts to rain, you can caught up in traffic jams for hours. I was a bit anxious about reaching the location on time so I called up the McDowell's contact & he said don't worry as the event will start late by around 900pm. As I traveled to the venue on a rainy day on my bike, the cool breeze really relaxed me a lot. I loved the time in the travel to reach the destination around 830pm. I called up the contact and he briefed me about the event. 

McDowell's is associated with Karaoke World Championship (http://www.kwcindia.com/) for the last two years and this is their third season with the event. The winners from India (1 Men and 1 Women singer) will take on the other nationals in Finland. Today at Delhi, it was the zonal finals between 25 top most amateur singers from all around this region. They could have been walk-ins from regional rounds or via their Google Play app (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.telibrahma.Karaoke) or wild card entries. All the selected 6 winners from all the zones will meet in Mumbai to fight for the grand title along with a wild card entry to make the competition again 25 contestants. All the very best to all the contestants.

Coming back to the Zonal finals held at 100% Rock, Delhi - The place was full of energy as I entered the arena. Contestant were already practicing on their prepared tracks and there was a lot of enthusiasm all around. Let's check out some of the pictures clicked by me and more pictures can be find out at the https://www.facebook.com/KWCIndia or www.liveinstyle.com.

Behold....who are the judges?

Let's keep this a mystery and let the next image bring about them all in one shot!



Wait for it....





Any Guesses????
Here they are - the some of the most famous and well established names in the Music Industry. Stating from left is Aditya Jassi, Meiyang Chang, Nandini Srikar, Shibani Kashyap & Ishq Bector. WoW! The cheering was loud and full of whistles as they took the seats of judges. I was really very very happy to see all of them together in front of my eyes. I have only seen them on Television and youtube video's. I am thankful to liveinstyle.com for this amazing opportunity to see the stars in front of my eyes. Let the competition begin -


 The very first contestant rocked the stage completely.




The judges with their notepads judging contests on the defined parameters.











The singing continues on original sound tracks. I can tell you all one thing, that I tried singing the song on the Karaoke App at home some days back and I found myself so funny that I never tried it again. It's not at all easy to sing Karaoke. Hat's off to these amazing participants.





















The singer from Lucknow with a bollywood track - O re Piya from Aaja Nach le


The Delhi Girl totally rocked the stage.  
Some buddy time together between the otherwise busy guests.



Another girl brought to us Adele song. She was so great, I hoped she could also sing another song of Skyfall track. 



The Delhi Daredevil rocked the stage with his unusual song and performance. 



The smartest contestant of the evening from Gurgaon. Some whistles from a lot of girls came along. 




This contestant must have got all the marks for taking the stage and burning it up. Awesome stage presence. 



Finally, it was the company who stood behind and covered for all the event for all of us. McDowell's No. 1 Soda thanks a lot for taking out the talent from India and taking them to World Karaoke stages. I hope someone's dream will come true in another week's time to travel to Finland and perform to the world.






















Thanks LiveInstyle.com for fulfilling a dream come true to witness a singing competition live.

Looking forward to be in this glamorous and stylish world always!!!

Cheers!!!
