I am a sales and Marketing Professional. I have worked with the largest media companies in India in print and online divisions in sales, marketing and corporate strategy. I currently work for IndiaMART.com, India’s largest B2B marketplace. My team and I handle the entire gamut of Marketing activities for IndiaMART.com, including Print, TV, Radio, Internet and Outdoor.
This website was created to serve as a bulletin board of sorts pointing to the various things that I am currently up-to.
A brief history of me.

chirag.patnaiks.in
I have had a long running blog (over 10 years now) at http://chirag.patnaiks.in/ (The url and name changed over the years) called chirag.patnaiks.in
Marlinspike
I wanted to create a blog only for professional observations. My first blog was called Marlinspike (It is a needle used by sailors to untangle knots). It was too good a name to waste for a personal blog so I moved it to its own separate domain at http://www.marlinspike.in/. Nothing much has been posted there. But, in my defence. I have been quite busy.
And more…
There are more projects on the way. Some half baked, some in different stages of evolution. They will be listed here in due course.
