Kartik Kannan - The Future of Blogging in Chennai

Kartik Kannan is the future of blogging in Chennai, and if some people have their way in India as well. First a few words on the man himself. Kartik has a lot going for him. Perhaps his biggest asset is his pedigree; it does help if your boss/mentor is one of blogdoms leading lights Kiruba Shankar. Kartik's talent and penchant for blogging is evident by the fact that he is at such a young age the channel manager for India’s leading blog portal Sulekha.com. That folks is drive and talent for you.

Kartik's love for blogging is revealed by the fact that he left a plum job at Infosys to manage the blog channel at Sulekha. Some may choose to view this as one of the most assanine career moves ever, but not so Kartik. Indeed Kartik had found his true calling to shape the future of blogging in Chennai under the tutelage and able guidance of Kiruba Shankar. Kartik took to his new role like a duck to water. His move to leave comments /adverts about Sulekha on various blogs without the prior consent of the blog owner was truly breathtaking. Some might liken it to spamming, but then that would be making a mountain out of mole hill. After all violating a bloggers personal space is no biggie.

Kartik is also India's foremost authority on the role of blogs in branding. In recognition of his expertise on the subject, Karthik will present his take on Branding via Blogs in the upcoming unconference at Blogcamp.
The fact this event is ghosted by Sulekha and that Kiruba is his boss should be disregarded as a mere coincidence, a quirk of fate. There is no doubt that Karthik is a thought leader on Branding via Blogs as is evident from this. He is also something of a serial entrepreneur. This gem on tourism and travel can be found here. Notice if you will his amazing insight, and how he managed to arrive at a figure of Rs 100 just like that. Sheer mastery of the topic I tell you, I mean how else can you pull a revenue estimate out of thin air.

Another area of expertise is Kartik's nuanced understanding of interpersonal relations especially with the members of the opposite sex. He has demonstrated his mastery of this topic with his in-depth study, replete with case studies, statistical analysis and visual aids. For one so young he has mature head on his shoulders and is a picture of modesty. Here is Karthik on Karthik "THE WORLD NEEDS MORE MEN LIKE ME, to make it a better place. Most of my friends from the opposite sex at either workplace or college friends would also vouch for that, as they know how much of a difference I make when I talk to them". And you thought I was gilding the lily. And no Kartik is not a chauvinist, heavens no he is a man among men. Kind of like Charlton Heston back in the day.

Make no mistake people Kartik is the future of blogging in Chennai. Yes Sir the man himself, Kiruba and the rest of the select few are shaping the future of blogdom in Chennai. Their goal and dream is to transform blogging as a medium in the same way TOI, Deccan Chronicle, Headlines Today, CNN IBN and Times Now have done to their respective media. You just cant afford be left out of this paradigm shift happening in the desi blogosphere. And if you want in just gotta attend the unconference at Blogcamp , you just gotta. And you know what just like all the best things in life this is absolutely " F-R-E-E". Blogcamp Unconference be there or be square.
