Hello hive CMA weekly mind. I'm hoping to draw on this group's collective insights and experience to help with advice, contacts, introductions, and pointers for a career-related leap I'm making. After an extended period trying to secure a permanent position, I'm now looking at freelance or contract opportunities. Specifically, I'm currently exploring customer advocacy and growth marketing opportunities in India and between UK & India. I'll be traveling to India between October and December to identify and meet with Indian tech companies that may benefit from additional customer advocacy and demand generation/growth marketing support. I have a visa that entitles me to live, work, and travel to and within India without restrictions. Question for the hive mind: I'd like to better understand the landscape and mindset of Indian companies and how they approach customer advocacy and growth marketing. Are there people in this group that could shed some light on this and, if so, could we set up a call please to chat? Are there Indian companies and contacts that people know may require help and support that they could introduce me to? Thanks in advance and in anticipation of an avalanche of advice, and offers of help. Ajay
I’d talk to the firms who invest there and become a preferred vendor for their portfolio companies.
You get insights from the team at the firm and access at scale but it’s a hard thing to do too.
@Joel Primack Thanks. Those firms that have invested significantly in India are large, multi-national tech firms, so they will have global marketing teams in place already.
Smaller firms that invest are, from what I can see, few and far between, but again, cautious. It's something I'll look further into.
I meant investment firms not companies.
