Gurgaon
The bright hot sunny day saw a good
gathering at the beautiful venue. I was absolutely thrilled to be present at another
exciting indiBlogger meet, showcasing the launch of the Asus Zenfone2 smartphone.

| Its Me at the Entrance... |
The famous Indian VJ, actress and singer, Anusha Dandekar welcomed us. The start couldn’t have been better than
the sensuous musical performance by Aditi Singh Sharma (Bollywood fame).
Here are my archives for the event as it proceeded...
Incredible Comes to India…

| Asus - Balance of Beauty and Strength… Marvel of Craftsmanship and Engineering |
In Search of Incredible...
“Asus is passionate about technology and
driven by innovation. We dream, we dare and we strive to create an effortless
and joyful digital life for everyone. We’re always in search of incredible
ideas and experiences - And we aspire to deliver the incredible in everything
we do.”
He told how “design thinking” has paved way
for “lean thinking” and hence Asus Zenfone2 is a creation of “engineer thinking”.

The Moore’s Law and the Powerhouse of Performance…
By Debjani Ghosh (VP Sales & Marketing Group, and MD, Intel South East Asia)
(I almost captured all her words...)
“The Moore's law enables the IT industry to really benefit
from the power of exponential growth and IT industry is one of the very few
industries that has been able to use this exponential growth to drive
proliferation of technology across pretty much aspect of life, and that’s the
reason we see a rapid adoption of technology no matter which country we are in
or which part of world we are in! Partners like Asus have pushed the boundaries
of innovation and come up with a game changing product like the Zenfone2."
She
thanked Jerry and team who made Intel to partner with Asus in this journey. She declared that Zenfone2 is just powerhouse of performance!
She spoke about Gordon Moore's saying - “Whatever can be
done, can be outdone!” Asus has shown that again and again! Zenfone2 has won
around 238 awards and she believes Zenfone2 will outdo its predecessor’s
performance.
"This also symbolizes the spirit of the partnership that Asus and
Intel has. They just bring out the best in each other so that they think beyond
what is the obvious, and are able to innovate and create game changing products.
It’s been 25 years of partnership between Intel and Asus." She again thanked Jerry and
team for the wonderful partnership and leadership.
