It all started with a tweet by Vala Afshar, CMO, Extreme Networks (@ValaAfshar) which was retweeted by former Star India CEO and Group CEO, Balaji Telefilms Sameer Nair with a remark:  “I’d love to see an Indian rendition. Should be surprisingâ€.
From then on there were several participants on the Indian twitterverse with Jiggy C, Srinivasan K Swamy, Raj Nayak, Pradeep Dwivedi, Pawan Jaikhani, Jayaraman, Utsav Chaudhuri, Gitikka Ganju Dhar and Paritosh Joshi contributing ideas. The suggestion made by Mr Jiggy and Mr Dwivedi went a step forward in asking some of the Dainik Bhaskar group’s CEO to suggest brandnames.
“Indian, large, close to iconic, current brand,†was a suggestion made by Mr Swamy on what kind of brands should be tagged on the India map and from then on started a steady flow of suggestions.
Here’s how you can contribute to the list.
