2Week Tour
Ankur Sharma
Amsterdam, The Netherlands
April 26 – May 7, 2010

Mr. Ankur Sharma, Sr. Sales Manager, represented us in Amsterdam from April 26^th to May 7^th – to reinforce our commitment to “meet prospective and existing clients and deliver that human touch”.

Travel Notes
Ankur found Amsterdam to be a magnificent, compact city with many options for getting around. For him waterway was the best possible option for intercity commutation. Apart from this, the city was well connected by trams and metros. Some visitors even preferred roaming around through push bikes.

It was perfect spring time to witness the splendor of crocus, hyacinths, narcissus and the famous Dutch Tulips in their full bloom. The mild May weather drew locals and visitors outdoors, where they soak up the scene on cafe terraces. Ankur was lucky enough to be a part of the Queen's day celebration where millions of people came out on the streets with Orange attire and accessories to spend time partying and merry-making. He even witnessed the Independence Day celebration on May 5th.

In spite of all the buzzes and activities happening during the stay, Ankur did not lose focus from his trip’s objective. He was successful in meeting 20 prospective and one existing clients at their offices. He ended up his journey crafting smiles on the hosts’ faces by presenting them ethnic handicrafts carried from India.

Tech Notes
Some of the interesting technology and business trends observed during the meetings in Amsterdam are:

• Excitement for web and mobile applications
• High demend for Game development professionals
• Respect for Indian logical talent pool
• Openness to new ideas and directness in pricing discussions.

Venturing into new terrain is challenging, but we are religiously doing it without compromising our commitments to existing clients.
