2010 meant a 30% growth in our business of Radio. One can’t just attribute this growth to growing maturity in the way the market consumes Radio; rather, complement the sheer heart-sell effort by the sales force, and their being at the right place at the right time. There has been a sizable increase in the client base with very few that moved out of the Radio space....
Radio is inherently a very strong medium. The only problem I see is revenue not growing as per the expectations of the broadcasters. And the biggest reason is the price war. The dropping of rates is the biggest challenge all of us face. We are not allowing ourselves to grow at a rate comparable with other mediums....

What a year we had in 2010! It was a single year that changed the VAS industry. Both, within India and globally, the VAS industry was completely transformed. VAS companies started the year fighting the so-called ‘recession-trends’ and the consequent squeeze by carriers, and look at what they accomplished by the end of the year -- almost a perfect U-turn where carriers are looking to VAS to retain their customers and save bottom-lines. One thing is for sure: there has been ...
The year gone by was a good one for the independent artists in India. This was factored by the phenomenal commercial as well as critical success of Rock On – the radical Bolly flick which changed perceptions about the Indian Rock Artist mindset. We also saw International acts like Bryan Adams, Prodigy, Porcupine Tree etcetera which gave an excellent break for Indian Independent artists to open for such renowned International band acts....
I don’t want to do the usual. Talk about problems and figures and issues and solutions, questioning numbers, measurements, listing out the problems and what-have-you. These things are part and parcel of our world, the struggle, the sweat, the efforts and the results. It’s time we got out of the kindergarten stage of questioning numbers and started with a collaborative approach in the direction of meaningful radio....
