Can you believe this? Am not sure if this is true but that is definitely our Individual assignment for the Marketing subject this term.

Everyone in the class is expected to come out with a plan. We have folks from 15 countries being represented. So, it will be great to get different views. The challenge for me will be to sell a concept that works in India and fit that into a market that am not very familiar with.!
It'll be challenging but am sure will be a lot of fun too !

BTW,Indione hotel is the brainchild of C.K Prahlad."Indian consumers want world class quality at local prices" said Prahalad.The first indiOne Hotel was profitable within a month, and Prahalad calls it a model for global expansion. So, is it the time for global expansion now ?
We shall wait and watch.
