Barbie Weds Superman – Wedding of the Century !


wealthymattersLast night I heard confirmation that  Team 2 (consisting of myself and fellow IndiBloggers Akshay Iyer, Leena Singbal, Vanessa Rowe, Subham Singh, Bikash Bhandary, Prashant Kharkhera, Aditi Pathak, Mohit Chabria, Chirag  ) had been judged a winner of the Ad Mad Event at ‪#‎Flipkartkids‬ for our improv perfomance: “Barbie Weds Superman – Wedding of the Century !”.

And the judge was no less than Ace Adman O&Ms Piyush Pandey!(intelligence as per the person shooting the official video.)

Yay !

I played Masoom 05151 and anchored the show we put up. And ‘Barbie Weds Superman – Wedding of the Century !’, is probably how I will always best recall last Saturday’s ‪#‎Flipkartkids event.

Hopefully I can track down photos or even the official video of our performance. IndiBlogger founders and crew can you help?

I initially attended this event to launch Flipkart Li’l Stars – India’s Biggest Online Kids Store, to get some insight into how I could invest in the “Toy Story”. After all we are now an increasingly young nation with a lot of children and parents who are more aware than ever before of toy trends world-over. Moreover we now have greater means to indulge our children. So there must be money to be made in the situation. And I had heard that people from Disney, Mattel and Chhota Bheem were to attend the event. Read more of this post

One Reaching For Eighteen


wealthymattersSometime this year, quite unremarked, wealthymatters served the one millionth reader! Pretty astonishing and quite beyond anything I could have imagined when I first started this blog.

These days, having met Jeff Bullas,I’ve a new stretch goal before me – 18 million readers.

Now if only I can find the focus to sit down and diligently do what Jeff does day and day out to achieve his numbers.

Such numbers might just turn wealthymatters from a successful blog to a formidable digital business.

A Top Indian Blog !


wealthymattersWealthymatters is now apparently considered a Top Indian blog .

I was quite oblivious to this development. It was a potential advertiser who actually brought this distinction to my notice!

I guess advertisers these days really do know more about us, than we do ourselves!

Tea Break @KotakSecurities #KotakMidCapMeet15


wealthymattersA gentleman attracted by my media tag, buttonholed me to ask why the media was so negative on the economy?
Short answer, I’m leery of all rosy stories involving leverage and predictions. And Modinomics involves huge credit creation. Debts become due some or other day and we can’t avoid paying them ,unless we plan on reneging on our word.
Making predictions about factors not within our control is a bit of nonsense. And Modiji’s vision has too many such predictions.
