Off to Bangalore

Off to Bangalore

It is early Monday morning in India. After a great weekend with Sanjeev’s family and friends in Kolkata, we are now off to Bangalore, or Bengaluru, to meet with our creative design production and programming partner, Basil Communications. We will be in meetings all day Monday with Basil executives and an agency from the United States interested in utilizing global creative resources for design production and illustration needs. A U.S. senior VP of creative services and senior VP of production services will be representing the firm.

In addition to talking in-depth about the U.S. firm’s specific needs, we will be taking a tour of Basil, go over their in-depth capabilities and discuss how a partnership between BlueSilver and Basil works for U.S. clients. We will also be staying late to see first-hand how a Basil account service and design team works seamlessly with a North American agency everyday in the U.S. Eastern Time Zone.

Later that night, we have plans to go to dinner at ITC Windsor Hotel’s Dakshin before retiring for the night at the Oberoi Hotel. We’ll have breakfast with the firm’s representative and Basil on Tuesday morning then off to Delhi to catch our late flight back to United States.
