PR Icons is a new initiative to recognise PR professionals who have taken efforts to take the PR profession a step forward. Though PR Icons was initially conceptualised to recognise those professionals with more than 10 years of experience, they have decided to relax the minimum experience limit and include ‘young guys who have achieved greater things, within a short time’.

The recognition was primarily due to India PR Blog, an industry blog that I started two years back that has today become a good resource for information on the PR profession and the industry in India and a platform for discussion among PR professionals.

Thank you, Mr. Srinivasan. This is certainly a big boost and encouragement.

On another note, CIOL has done a story on the corporate blogging scene in India and has featured some of my quotes. Corporate blogging is an emerging phenomenon in India and corporates have started accepting it as a medium to reach out to their target audience. Very soon, we are likely to see more Indian corporates adopting the blogging attitude. Already I am helping a couple of my client develop blogs for their organisations. The social media marketing market in India is bound to see some exciting times ahead.
