Afterhours in Delhi
March 10th, 2010 by Sara Usinger
Jyoti & Suresh Guptara – Sandbox Ambassadors in Delhi – report from the last Dinner which they have organized with local talents and visiting guests.
Momentum in Delhi was built. Recommendations from internationally scattered Sandbox members and new friends, and two preliminary meetings later, the time was ripe for our first major Sandbox Delhi networking evening.
On Friday, 5th March 2010, we were kindly hosted at “Afterhours” studio-store, by one of the designers and partners, Mayank Kaul. We were thrilled to welcome around 20 people to the picturesque backdrop of Hauz Khas Village’s lake and ruins.
Two hours and free beer later, we had got to know the other inspiring young movers and shakers from their respective fields, including guests from TIE (The Indus Entrepreneurs). Conversation ranged from how to sell pricey designer products during a recession (AKA, How Black Money Saved India from the Recession) and add revenues on social networks, to the founders explaining how their new media company caters to Indian politicians.
We were joined by Sandboxer Marcel Oedi, fresh from Singapore to explore turning a Master’s thesis into real-life business, before heading out for more in-depth and casual conversation over drinks and dinner. Everyone is excited at the prospect of a growing Sandbox presence here!
Suresh and Jyoti are the Sandbox Ambassadors in Delhi. They are sad to think of their imminent return to Switzerland, but confident that Sandbox has a promising future in Delhi and India.
