airtel 300x150 Airtel Upgrades (doubles) Broadband Speed For Existing Customers For Free!

Bharti Airtel is on its preternatural move on upgrading broadband speeds of its existing customers (on 64, 128, 256 Kbps) to a minimum of 512 Kbps by the end of June, 2010. Furthermore, customers currently on 512 Kbps plans and 1Mbps plans will have their speeds doubled to 1Mbps and 2Mbps respectively. These upgrades come at no extra cost to existing customers.

My 256 Kbps plan hasn’t got its kick yet, but one of my friend’s (256Kbps) plan has already got it. He received a mail from Airtel stating about the upgrades and is now experiencing an average download speed of 60 Kbps. (Previously it was 30 Kbps)

I Made It To Deccan Chronicles As Well!

After Times Of India and Bangalore Mirror, I now made it to Deccan Chronicles as well :D Yesterday afternoon Tenzin, a journal at Deccan Chronicles, rang me up asking questions about what digital marketing is and how it works, how I balanced my studies along with my work load and also asked me to mention a few project categories that I’ve worked on. And today I see it in the paper :D

All thanks to Hrish Thota (@dhempe) for directing Tenzin to me and sharing my number with her. :)

Quote from the paper

BCA student Joel Fernandes, co-founder of Darkwater Digital, a digital marketing company, tells us, “I have managed social media for two films, two novels and even a hotel. By creating pages and communities on social media, we create an online network for the brand.
