Marketing Sangam..hehe

Episode 1

Well, it’s hightime to blog. Would rather say, am forced to blog...otherwise ppl will rip my arse...thoh Sangam’s caption says "Spirit of freedom" they are very much aggressive in their goals :P comment : enna da aaramba me seri illa. ivan inna solla poran??

I was wondering "what am I gonna blog". Suddenly thought of bloggin about Sangam’s marketing goals :)

Hope by now, you know what Sangam is, what they do and what they don’t do blah blah. Now we are taking Sangam globally; as you know members of Sangam are spread across the globe.

Sangam’s talent hunt

We are 25 in number now. In Dec, 2k7 we are planning to ramp-up ( first time in Sangam’s history) the team size to 53. We all know it’s a tough target, but we are all set and prepared for the same. Here are some common questions which wud arise in ppls mind.
1. Why are these guys gonna ramp up?
2. Tot Sangam is non profit organization?
3. Is Sangam a software company? I saw this in some blog “We are a 'sangam' (group) of software professionals who vehemently code for a living :)” doesn’t it sound like a software company :P
4. What is talent hunt? Are they recruiting?
5. What skill set is required?
Goes on and on…..

Before answering what is talent hunt, let me tell about how the “best find” happened in Sangam. Each person in Sangam has a unique talent. Like in case if you take “j/lollu” bhaski he puts hell a lot of mokkais * (like me). That’s a unique talent he as got with. Impressed by such credentials, Sangam immediately hired him for $4 billion(Do you believe this??? Well, you might have to!! it may sound colossal but to Sangam its always ppl first and Sangam is unique in this way). Hope this example has answered what the talent hunt is. If you have a unique and exceptional talent you are hired.

Why does some one want to hire me? What do they need from me?
Don’t wanna reinvent the wheel. Refer “http://sangamite.blogspot.com/2007/05/vazhga-sangam-valarga-sangam.html“. Briefly, to make us laugh. It is like "long long ago so long ago kings paid huge amount to vikatakavi..and u know the reason...to laugh. Thats one reason of how the name came. sanga kala illakiyam - sanga - old, ancient. Moving back to old style.

Expectation/Projection for next quarter
To be continued.

ithuthaanda mokka...yaralayavuthu mudiyama..I know ppl will come up with questions like "dei ithulam oru bloga?". The answer wud be "I wanna keep this blog alive(by posting more mokkais) Frankly, ennalayum mudila thrupi madikka".

Note : you may see more such blogs in near future. So, keep ya eye on this www.sangamite.blogspot.com

Request to Thalaivar.... promise me that u wont remove me out of sangam after reading it :P
