#IndoreSmartCity - Success and Learning side by side!






2015 started with doubts and uncertainty. I left my job after 10 years of stable career in advertising industry. Everyone was concerned or rather curious to know what I am gonna do now...and finally in September, I got the opportunity to take the challenge of ‪#‎IndoreSmartCity‬ project in my hands.

I still remember that day when I went for the first meeting at Mehta Associates with Kalidhar Sir. Nothing was clear in that meeting except one thing that I eagerly wanted to work on this project. And when things got finalized, I was asked to sit at Mayor House (Sachivalay).

New place, new team, new environment and new challenges...Challenge to associate more people on the social channels of #IndoreSmartCity, challenge to bring in mass contribution, challenge to get more participation in various competitions and events during the campaign, challenge to make people think and form a one common vision for the city, challenge to make people share their opinion on all the smart city parameters and above all, a challenge to secure position for my city 'Indore' in top 20 cities under Smart City Challenge round-I. Today, finally I can proudly say that all the challenges are small when you have big-hearted people with you.
