Anirudh Lohia

the event went on for 5 hours and believe me we did not realize it even once. Mr. Abhishek Rungta saw his watch at 10pm and said “Tum log 10 baja diya”. the expression said it all.

Most of the people I interacted had one single opinion they had never seen such a mass gathering of web 2.0 people in kolkata ever before and this included people like Abhishek Rungta, Aji Issac Mathew, Arun Agarwal and Vikas Kedia. the best part of the meet was that all the bloggers were interactive. Even when we had a tele conference with Mr. Vikas Kedia which was a little dis-engaging had about 5-6 bloggers going and asking questions which was fantastic.

the presentation by all the speakers was just fantastic. But if you ask about my personal favorite I would go with Aji and Mr. Arun Agarwal.

Aji provided some great stats in his presentation and used the blogs for the participating bloggers which made it even more interesting and Arun Agarwal involved all the listeners so well.

And you know what I won the best Idea award for having an India Internet Summit here in Kolkata. And with all the bloggers promising to share the stage once again for it, I am sure we will do something bigger next time.

Without the support of Mr. Abhishek Rungta this Kolkata Bloggers Meet 2009 would not have been possible. So THANK YOU Mr. Rungta!!

Also thanks to Nabin and his team from CCD, Amit Kejriwal, Prabhanjan Panigrahi, Anand Kedia, Bijay Rungta, Debleena, Ranjan Upadhaya, Shyama Kant, Shirsendu Sengupta.
