Meet Rama Bijapurkar on 2 Oct in Sydney

For anyone interested, I am hosting a small get together with Rama Bijapurkar at Paymate's offices in Sydney (Level 25, 31 Market Street) in Sydney on 2 Oct from 5-6:30pm. Pls RSVP so we know numbers: dilip@paymate.com.

Should be insightful for anyone interested in the huge Indian consumer market!

See post below for details on Rama.

Winning in Indian Consumer Markets

For Australian companies and entrepreneurs interested in venturing into the vast but tough Indian consumer market, there is a great opportunity coming up - to meet one of India's leading consumer marketing thought leaders.

Rama Bijapurkar serves on the Boards of Infosys, CRISIL, Axis Bank, Godrej Consumer Products, Give Foundation and Mahindra Holidays & Resorts. An alumna of the Indian Institute of Management, Ahmedabad, Rama is a Visiting Faculty and on the IIMA Board of Governors.

I have to admit some bias, since Rama was a year my senior at IIMA, but with her career spanning leadership positions with McKinsey, AC Nielsen and Hindustan Lever, her credentials are impeccable. See: http://www.bijapurkar.com/.

Rama's visit to Sydney will be hosted by the Australian School of Business and the Australia India Business Council, with a talk on October 1, 2009, details as below.

Also participating will be Mr Amit Dasgupta, Consul General of India and Dr Julien Cayla, Senior Lecturer in Marketing, Australian School of Business.
