Web Awards Nite

I came back after attending the ‘Genius of the Web’ awards ceremony held today at the ITC Grand Central in Mumbai. It was attended by some influential dignitaries from the IT and corporate world and the ceremony was backed by Web18 — a part of the larger Network18 group. The ceremony wasn’t as big as I had initially thought it would be. It kicked off with a panel discussion on the future of Web 2.0 and then a solo performance by singer Manasi Scott was received by a rather unenthusiastic crowd. The awards were distributed to various companies under categories like ‘Best Government & PSU Site’, ‘Best Hotels Site’, Best Airlines Site’, etc. (see the complete list) and the ceremony got over in no time. Nothing much to say or write about it, however it was some experience to see old faces from my past and refresh my memory.
