In an ongoing move to engage more deeply with small business owners, Google India has launched a Premier SME Partner programme in the country. The chosen partners will develop, launch and manage digital campaigns for small and medium businesses.
These partners will offer end-to-end marketing solutions like search engine marketing, localised marketing solutions across Google properties, like AdWords.
 
"Of the $ 1.2 billion SME advertising market in India, we expect at least $100 million will be digital advertising," said Rajan Anandan, Managing Director & VP Sales, Google India, adding that he expects most small businesses that advertise for the first time to choose digital advertising. "The ability to measure impact will drive this choice." For Google, advertising is the single largest source of revenues internationally. In 2011, 96% of its annual revenue of $37.9 billion came from advertising.

Mihin Lanka to withdraw Tiruchi flights from June 1

Budget airline, Mihin Lanka, has decided to withdraw its flights on the Colombo-Tiruchi-Colombo sector effective June 1 on account of a steep fall in load factor of the flights.

The anti-Sri Lankan government protests on the Eelam issue here and the travel advisory issued by the island nation asking its nationals to avoid travel to Tamil Nadu are cited as the reasons for the fall in incoming passengers from Sri Lanka. Sri Lankan pilgrims travelling to Velankanni and Thanjavur have been attacked by pro-Eelam activists in recent months.

The airline operates four flights a week on the Colombo-Tiruchi-Colombo sector. S.K.Mittal, Executive Director, Translanka Air Travels, Tamil Nadu, the general sales agent (GSA) of Mihin Lanka, told The Hindu that the airline has decided to withdraw all the four flights to Tiruchi, effective June 1, following a drop in the load factor. However, the airline has not said whether the flights are being withdrawn temporarily or it is a permanent move.

Startup Corridor: Taking Indian entrepreneurs to Silicon Valley

India's top young entrepreneurs can now hope to visit and connect with like minded counterparts, mentors and seed investors in the Silicon Valley, California, with the creation of a 'Startup Corridor' between India and US.

The 'Startup Corridor' is the brain child of Silicon Valley venture capitalist Asha Jadeja Motwani, wife of late Stanford Professor Rajeev Motwani, a mentor to the likes of Larry Page and Sergey Brin and a key architect of the algorithms that power Google today.

According to Asha, an investor in over 75 start ups in Silicon Valley, who has just begun seed investing in Indian start ups, the idea for a corridor came when she met several bright young entrepreneurs in India pursuing excellent ideas but without the kind of mentoring available in US.

Reading and talking about mentoring in abstract can take one forward only so much. 'Unless the entrepreneurs understand the culture, the walk, and the talk of Silicon Valley, serious dialogue is unlikely to emerge,' she said.
