My next pit stop – Google

This would be a short post. After 4 phenomenal years in Cisco Small Business Marketing I have decided to move on. My next pit stop – Google. I am joining the Google Apps team in a product marketing role. Monday would be my first day.

I strongly believe that the B2B web is the future – if you have read my earlier posts, you should know by now. The growth of cloud based applications in the last few years have been incredible but we have just touched the tip of the iceberg. The next decade will see lot of  disruptive technologies changing the landscape of business applications. In the first wave of web 2.0 we have seen B2C disruptions like Facebook, Twitter, Foursquare, Mint et al. The next wave will be around B2B.

And I am glad that I will be a part of that…

Epilogue->Preface

“Every day you may make progress. Every step may be fruitful. Yet there will stretch out before you an ever-lengthening, ever-ascending, ever-improving path. You know you will never get to the end of the journey. But this, so far from discouraging, only adds to the joy and glory of the climb.”
- Winston Churchill

On one beautiful October afternoon, this blog was born from an electric flicker in some corner of the human anatomy. It was built on a dream, now it is a reality. The ever winding path of MBA has just ended – 5 years of hope, sweat, dream, aspiration – all ended with the stroke of midnight on April 29th. And as if this blog has stopped breathing as well – it wants to be free, free from the shackles of mind strokes and idiosyncrasies. Now is the time to let it go, let it free.

And then begins another chapter in my life. Now what?

Another blog, another dream, another aspiration, another path…

Preface

And so it begins…
