Mobile Monday Delhi Event today…

Hi All! Today I attended Mobile Monday (MoMo) Delhi event in Amity University. Agenda for today was mobile advertising. Quiet a few good speakers like Salman Hussain of Vuclip, Vijay Shekhar of One97, Chirag Jain of recently funded smsgupshup, Salil from NDTV, Milind Pathak of Buongiorno etc. presented their views on mobile advertising trends and scenarios.

Vijay Shekhar during his presentation asked the audience as to how many people are thinking of buying the recently launched iPhone 3G, if we become price agnostic, just 3 out of 70 odd people said they are planning to buy. These 3 also said yes, as they are in the process of developing applications for iPhone and thus they will need the same for test purposes.

Though gathering this time was less (in comparison to other events of Momo), with a total of approx. 65-70 professionals from the mobile world. But, overall it was a great event.

A brief about the Mobile Monday is given below for the people who don’t know what it is:
