Report on first edition of OCC Kolkata Theme meet - My Journey

This is very delayed report about the first edition of OCC Kolkata Theme meet : My Journey.

In the first edition Angsuman Chakraborty, CEO and Founder of Verbands and Taragana.com, was the guest of the meet. Angsuman was joined by his friends and colleagues. Besides Angsuman, Shantanu Sikdar, CEO of Esine Knowledge Systems private limited and founder of Prepgenie.com was very much present and active participant in organizing the event.

Bijay Rungta, fellow member of OCC Kolkata joined in after completing his scheduled appointments.

During this meet Angsuman emphasized the need for members of OCC Kolkata Chapter to collaborate and address requirements of other members and thus build respective businesses.

As an example Angsuman mentioned about meeting Shantanu in one of the OCC meets and over the years, they have collaborated and solved each others pain-points.

One interesting point addressed by Angsuman was about, systematizing OCC Kolkata as an interactive platform, by appointing dedicated person, for handling the events of OCC Kolkata in return for a remuneration to be paid by members of OCC Kolkata.

Besides providing inputs on improviding OCC Kolkata platform, Angsuman provided first hand demo of Verbands (Social CRM SAAS product developed in India, catering to global requirements).

Release of this product is scheduled during February 2011.

Angsuman has kindly accepted to provide a user license for addressing requirements of OCC Kolkata Chapter.

Besides full-fledged demo of Verbands, discussion proceeded towards possible venues to collaborate.
