Twitsnaps Social Media Breakfast Meetup

IndiaTC or India Twitter Conference endeavors to peek into the minds of the people, or, more specifically tweeple, to understand the impact of the prominent social networking site ‘Twitter’ and what difference can it make in one’s life and India at large.

After hosting successfully in Delhi , 2nd time in Kolkata the Official Twitter Passion and Unofficial Twitter Conference IndiaTC made huge success.

Discussing on the Topic “Can Twitter Change the way India works?” Abhijit Dasgupta, Deputy Editor (National),India Today magzine, started panel discussion citing examples of his real-life on Twitter to support his view that “India does not know how to make use of Twitter.” He said further that India is still not prepared for Twitter and indians are still considering this social networking site as a plaything and not curious about learnings from Twitter.

Subrata Sen, an eminent filmmaker in the Tollywood industry, raised two pertinent questions before the attendees - “Does Twitter work?” and “What is wrong with the way India works?” The filmmaker affirmed that Twitter made its presence felt in Indian shores only recently and this medium will hardly be of any use to change the way India works. He also said jokingly that “You tweet at work,since you don’t have much to work& you tweet so that you dont fall asleep” comment brings smiles on all #IndiaTC attendees.

It became more interesting as panelist put forward their varying opinions on the topic on “There is a CPM which is ruling West Bengal and there is a CPM which rules India-Cricket Politics,Movies.” While moderating the event, Mr Simarprit Singh, Founder of Twitsnaps invited the panelists’ take on these issues.

Arun Agarwal, CEO of ebizindia and an Internet Marketing Expert himself, affirmed that Indians should learn to use Twitter judiciously and not just indulge in sundry talks that add unnecessary pressure on the site. He asks to audience that “What you want to see on Twitter?”. He also countered Abhijit das Gupta’s view and said that today’s youth are better informed and have a clear stand on almost every issues concerning India.

Abhishek Rungta, CEO of Indus Net Technologies pointed out the fact that the viral system of Twitter keeps people charged for a certain period of time over a particular issue but they soon lose the spark. Answering to a question “Whether Twitter can help curb corruption in India?” he referred to the instances where Lalit Modi and Shashi Tharoor met with a sad plight due to their revelations on Twitter.

Aniruddha Chatterjee, a documentary filmmaker and an IT professional working with TCS, said that Twitter has not that much reach in India to make a mark. He added that it is still an unexplored medium for India and suggested that a mass change among the people, which can actually make a difference.

Where as some opinions came from attendees that we need to change ourselves to change the way India works though we could utilize twitter as a medium. The discussion among panelists and the attendees conjoined to a conclusion where people still remained divided over the Twitter as a medium to make a difference on India’s way of working.
