AT Google India Event in Mumbai – Business day Event
It’s always exciting to be Invited by Google, especially if it’s an Invite for Google India’s first ever – business and brands event in Mumbai. More so, it was wonderful because, I was luckily in Mumbai this time and not on my routine travels across. So I made it a point to be a part of this first ever Google India Mumbai event or more popularly known as “gindia“.
Here are some event highlights and core updates from the first day of the event – “Business day at gindia”
GIndia Event top Highlights:
– Spectacular engagement integrating Google maps & mobile apps for brands.
Check out an awesome example of this:
“Red Tomato Pizza – The VIP Fridge Magnet” – When HUNGER Strikes
– Intelligent optical character & image recognition using Google Cloud collaboration. For eg. Massive number of users today have smartphones and we keep clicking pictures during travel, so to speak, while on the go. For eg. I have a personal blog dedicated to pictures I click using my mobile phone during my travel and off-late, due to the cumbersome task involved to tag them, name them, etc I stopped uploading them online as there were just too images be organized or even searched. Using Google cloud, the process becomes very simplified using Intelligent optical character & image recognition integration, wherein all images get added to your cloud and on searching terms like Eiffel tower, leaning tower, Paris etc it automatically shows you images that resemble or match that description. Hassle free organized way of adding images to your collection.
– Google Docs: Documents like word, spreadsheet using google docs have been enhanced with powerful features to add scripts, calculations, etc to it too. Moreover, multiple users can log in to a chat system on Google docs and simultaneously make edits to their documents, conversations, get status updates and messages updated online across different time zones too. The best part is, even if a user goes offline in-between the conversation, he or she gets all the update real-time when online. A wonderful way to “collaborate and work” across places & time zones. Google docs giving a whole new meaning to working together at the same time
– Google Plus Hangout: Doing more than just hanging out. Using Google Plus hangout, with teams at work and at the same time adding apps to your Google Plus, collaborating tasks in real-time saves so much time, energy and resources too. This is not merely a social networking site. It can empower you to do so much more.
– Every app creates collaboration in the context of work itself. This is the best part of using google apps. You become part of the process without wasting any time as all your tasks, updates, edits, changes, new ideas and app integration, keep happening in real-time.
– Sharing with Caring: Google cloud ensures security, adaptability & ease of real time collaboration: The best part is, it’s awesome for both, personal & business use.

Did you know that YouTube has a feature wherein you, as a brand owner or advertiser only pay for engaged ads, viewed over a certain time duration only?
Also, the fingerprint id system is a powerful feature by Google that protects content like music etc on youtube. It either deletes the said video or adds the tag to the original copyright owner’s video or music userid name and sends you a message regarding the violation or edits to your video too.
