Friday was the day of our the presentation and counselling session, and I presented in the Roznama Sahara booth to somewhere between 300 and 400 participants, who listened attentively to the presentation (all in English) and responded with a range of sensible and pertinent questions (again all asked and answered in English). The Sahara team once more were very supportive, promoting the presentation throughout the day and providing all the necessary support resources (data projector, screen and all sound systems) to us gratis. I was felicitated (by Nayyar Khurshid, the Business Head Bihar Region) and the session was MC’d by Gyaneshwar Pandey, Head of the Marketing Team for Roznama Sahara (the Urdu language newspaper).
Later in the evening Subho and I met with Naresh Nandan of Genesis India Limited, one of the organisers of the fair, and a company involved in a variety of telecommunications and microfinance services. Naresh was interested in developing a relationship with KiBS for future fairs, as well as assisting in getting us into the top colleges here in Patna. I was interested in exploring the Genesis involvement in its microfinance services, noting to Naresh that his company had found a place to flourish at the bottom of the pyramid and him acknowledging my awareness of CK Prahalad’s work and his company’s strategy in this regard.
And here is the result reflected in the respective newspapers the next day.
