Job Wise - My first job experience

I was working in US corporate environment for the very first time and was not used to the work culture

Gaurav Mendiratta, founder and director, AKG Technologies (NyooTV) discusses his first job experience.

My first job was at Comcast, a leading cable company and internet service provider in the US in September 2005 immediately after I graduated from University of Pennsylvania. I got this job through an online portal. I worked at Comcast for over 4 years. I started at a salary of US $65000.

Key challenges

I worked in the capacity of senior product development engineer, this designation being a senior one set very high expectations from me. This made me nervous at that time as I had just graduated from college and was quite raw.

In addition, since I was working in US corporate environment for the very first time, I was not used to the work culture and coming from India, I had inherent inhibitions speaking to the senior management. The challenge was breaking the communication barrier due to the Indian approach to hierarchy driven culture which I feel made it harder for me to interact with the senior management.

On the technology side, my job entailed working on cable technologies and one does not learn about cable technologies like modems/routers in college. I had to learn from scratch, how to create and define cable standards. The crucial aspect here is that this creation and definition did not impact just my job or my company but impacted the entire cable industry. This was no doubt a steep learning curve and it was challenge that in fact honed my skills well and brought out the best in me.

Important lessons

There was a phase at Comcast, when the work pressure was minimal and I felt underutilized. Therefore on an impulse, when I was with my boss and other team members I abruptly discussed my ‘minimal assignment’ status at work. I walked into my boss’s cabin and said that there are no assignments. I did not realise the extent of my inappropriate behaviour at that time because I said something which was to be discussed in private and not in front of other team members as it sends out a very negative and demoralising signal to others.

My boss at that time very politely told me that he would get back to me and refrained from reacting at that time. Later he sent me a well-crafted email which was in no way harsh yet whose content sent out a strong message about what I should be doing productively when the actual work pressure is minimal especially with my given designation.

This email remains with me even today and each time I feel I one of my team members have minimal work (and this email has been a great source of inspiration for me as an entrepreneur) I go back to this email and get the act together.

Nyoo Tube: India’s first online social TV network

When Gaurav Mendiratta went to study at the University of Pennsylvania for his masters, little did the Bollywood buff know that he would need to travel 50 miles every other weekend to catch the movies of his choice in a theatre. “I have always been a movie enthusiast, especially desi flicks,� he says. That experience, and the emergence of Hulu.com, a popular site for Hollywood movies, sitcoms and TV shows in the US, set him thinking. While the popularity of Hulu.com grew, Mendiratta finished his masters and joined Comcast, America’s largest cable and Internet service provider.

“But I kept thinking how I can bring good quality content, like Hulu.com has, to India and show Bollywood movies and serials to all Indians,� says Mendiratta, who chucked his job at Comcast “as I just had to do it�. By January 2009, he had completed a detailed study of the potential market in India, and what exactly the Hulu’s desi counterpart should be about. Later that year, he started AKG Technologies , and made NyooTV.com its flagship product. Menditatta was hard put to find an investor so he put in $25,000 (Rs 11.30 lakh) of his own savings, and his family chipped in with another $40,000 (Rs 18.04 lakh) to give him a start.

Starting troubles swamped him soon after as the first version of the site, launched in October 2009, was not up to the mark. “We went back to the drawing board, worked hard at it, and re-launched after five months,� he says. The revamped site was good enough for investors to come flocking. The most important of them was Peter F Gardner, a former investment banker with HSBC in Europe. Gardner, along with other angel investors, took the total investment in the company to over $400,000 (Rs 2 crore). India’s first online social TV network was now ready to roll. The site today shows a large compilation of videos from leading and legitimate content owners for primetime TV shows and latest Bollywood flicks of all genres.

One problem that Mendiratta faced was not technical but existential—what to call the site? “It gave me sleepless nights, and we first thought of Jhalkiyan.com. But this was tough to spell for people not fluent in Hindi,� he says. After this, the company held a competition on Facebook, gathering thousands of suggestions. The most popular, VyooTV was selected and it would have been final but for an European company with the same name. “So NyooTV was born,� says Mendiratta.

The experience of working with Comcast came in handy, as he and his team expanded the site and tied up with top producers and channels. “We started out with two fulltime staff and grew to half a dozen when I got my first round of funding,� says Mendiratta. The team has grown from those baby steps to a robust twenty now. Visitors to the site, who started with a trickle in early 2010, have now zoomed to around 17,000 on an average day. “Over 20 lakh have visited our site since July this year,� he says.

Investors seem satisfied with their stake. “It is important to know they can be counted on when the going is tough and have the vision to chart a clear path for growth in a difficult operating environment,� says Gardner, who was among the first investors. “Gaurav and his team certainly exhibit these qualities and are dedicated and passionate about the industry and the company.�

The target audience of the site is in the 13-24 age group, who is conversant with the Internet and, more importantly, might actually prefer watching it on their computer screens than fight for the remote with parents and siblings. Social networks like Facebook are coming in handy as NyooTV’s page shows 3,613 active users each month. The company is not going to advertisers directly. Instead, it has partnered with Vdopia, a digital ad network. “They are helping us connect with advertisers, with whom we will connect directly in 2011,� says Mendiratta. Mendiratta is as much a movie buff as the guy who went across the town to watch them. But wherever you are, you need not go that far. Just a click is enough.

Nervy Priyanka Chopra walks the ramp for Manish Malhotra at Anjaana Anjaani Fashion Show - NyooTV

When you have nothing new, bring out old stuff from the closet yet seen by none, flair it up and present it as brand new. This seems to be the state of mind ace designer Manish Malhotra is currently into. He had nothing 'new' to show at the recently concluded Lakme Fashion Week, so he simply presented the 'Anjaana Anjaani' collection for his DHL Anjaana Anjaani Fashion Show.

No complaints though as the Anjaani Priyanka Chopra (PC) looked stunningly curvaceous in a shimmering ghagra-choli, which was specially designed for the show. In a surprising revelation, PC had tweeted just minutes before her walk that she was very nervous since this was her first walk after a long break from the ramp. When quizzed, Piggy Chops was very down-to-earth, and said that she is in fact always very nervous before any appearance on the ramp and had to take the help of a few of her model friends before the walk to refresh her 'Fashion' memories.

The Khatron Ke Khiladi beauty took the ramp in a unique avatar, donning a ghagra choli with sneakers and topping it off with a denim jacket! When asked about her peculiar look in the movie, PC said that it is the same look that she has in a particular scene in the movie because the chilly climate of New York demanded the outfit.

Miss World 2000, Priyanka is of the view that Indian girls look beautiful with a curvaceous figure and not a size zero. Is she taunting some Miss Kapoor? Miss Chopra missed her Anjaana co-star Ranbir Kapoor at the promotional event for the movie. While her success in 'Anjaana Anjaani' is yet to be seen, she definitely hit the mark in the fashion walk. Watch the Anjaana Anjaani event, songs, trailers and Priyanka take the ramp once again on NyooTV.com.

The actors were present with Feroz at the 'muhurat' event for the movie held on 22nd September 2010 at JW Mariott Hotel, Mumbai.

Stay Ahead with the Biker of the Nation - John Abraham

If the moral brigade was looking out for the one responsible for making the 'yellow' trunks famous amongst the youth of the nation, then they would have a tough job on their hands, or in fact their bikes! Premium bike manufacturer Yamaha has announced the Bollywood hunk as the 'Biker of the Nation'. A childhood fan of the Yamaha bikes, John Abraham is its current brand ambassador.

The 'Jhootha Hi Sahi' star not only lives the Yamaha philosophy of "best biking at the most affordable price", but also loves it! John's first bike was also a Yamaha RD350. He is a big-time bike enthusiast, and was seen on bike in one of his biggest hits till date 'Dhoom' in a dark role. The muscular actor recently shot a TV commercial for the brand, where surprisingly he doesn't ride a bike at all! He likes the concept of 'turtle' used in the advertisement and goes on to say that when he is working with the Yamaha team, he is a Yamaha member and not an actor.

While his love for bikes is well known by his fans, very few know about his love for helmets. 'Bikes are my passion, but I take care of my helmets as my babies. Like people go and buy clothes, I go shopping for helmets. I have different helmets for different days,' John says. He goes on to add that a biker should think about his loved ones before himself when going on a bike ride. It is always safer to put on a helmet while on a bike.

John fans can watch him talk about his love for biking and the Yamaha Biker of the Nation Photo shoot on NyooTV.

Global Dhobi Ghat Press Conference - NyooTV

A movie which has garnered exceptional reviews at the Toronto International Flim Festival (TIFF) - Kiran Rao's directorial debut 'Dhobi Ghat' promises to be a breakthrough movie with a subject that is radically different. The movie starring the '3 Idiot' superstar Aamir Khan, will also present the 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' star Prateik Babbar as well as Monica Dogra and debutant Kriti Malhotra.

India has always been infamous for its caste differentiation, but there hasn't been a movie which highlights this issue. Especially when it comes to a relationship, that too between couples at extreme ends of the society, there are bound to be sparks and retaliation from both ends. Talking at the press conference of the movie at TIFF, director Kiran Rao says that the idea of exploring the idea of class in Indian society was unique and experimenting with a couple with the individuals from dissimilar strata of the society was very exciting.

Kriti Malhotra, who plays the role of 'Yasmin' says that the camaraderie in the Dhobi Ghat camp was very good and this gave her the confidence to pull off a spectacular performance. She will be romanced by both the male leads in the movie, Prateek who plays the role of 'Munna' and Aamir who plays the role of 'Arun' in the movie. The other lead in the movie, Mona Dogra who makes her debut and plays the role of 'Shai' says that she was very comfortable as she didn't have any preset benchmark or expectation to live up to and that helped her perform really well. The eccentric Prateik Babbar has every bit of a great actor in the making, and claims that he has been a fan of Aamir Khan since his 'Andaaz Apna Apna' days.

The charmer, the college-boy hairdo, and the dreamy eyed Aamir Khan was up and answering the reporters with mighty patience and good humor. The 'Ghajini' star criticized the Indian film distributors for looking down upon Indian films which premiere at International Film Festivals. He says that the image of 'leaves' besides a movie is wrongly taken as a movie not to be watched by the Indian audience. Talking about his wife, Aamir says he was pleasantly surprised by the talent that is there in Kiran Rao and is lucky to have married such a talented woman.

Action Replayy - Press Meet

The famed pair of Vipul Shah and Akshay Kumar return to the big screen in a 'dhinchak' retro fashion with a romantic comedy titled 'Action Replayy'. The two have previously given hits in Aankhein, Waqt, Namastey London and Singh is Kinng. Directed by Vipul Shah, the movie also stars the bahu of bollywood Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Neha Dhupia, Randhir Kapoor, Kirron Kher, Om Puri and Rajpal Yadav, among others. The press meet of the movie took place in the presence of Vipul and Khiladi Kumar answering the reporters' questions very enthusiastically.

The movie is based on Vipul's 1994 Gujarati play of the same name, and is a fun time travel comedy that captures the essence of the Mumbai on 1970s, no relation to Once Upon a Time in Mumbaai (no pun intended). If Salman released his Dabangg on the auspicious occasion of Eid, then Akki is not to fall behind and will release the movie on one of the biggest festival of India - Diwali, 5th November. 'Metro' Music Director Pritam has provided the music for the retro flick and the movie was made on a budget of Rs. 40 crore.

Talking about the movie, the earlier action and now pre-dominantly comedy suepr-star Akshay says that 1970s sensation Vinod Khanna was his inspiration for the character in the movie. He also adds that he based his long hair-do and way of walking on Vinod's style. When asked for his interest towards the 70s era, Producer and Director Vipul says that there it's a mere coincidence that his film is releasing in the same time and there is no intention of riding the free boat of earlier hit retro movies.

The music of the movie, Shah adds, will have a strong connect with the youth. He states the fact that even the youth of today love the songs of the 1970s, especially the ones by the legendary R D Burman and he is sure that the songs of this movie also be a hit with the audience. The trailer of the movie released on Akshay's 43rd birthday got tremendous response from the audience and was an instant hit across all channels and websites. Viewers can enjoy the trailer and catch the event on NyooTV.com.

Naughty Genelia D'Souza Fast-tracks it at the Airport

If ever there was anyone who could replace the ebullient Preity Zinta in the advertisement and endorsement space, it had to be the chirpy and bubbly Genelia D'souza. The effervescent girl who made her Bollywood debut in 'Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na' has sky rocketed her way to the top of the endorsement charts with brands like Fanta, Garnier and now Fast-track. The brand started out initially with Genelia promoting the Fast-track Eyegear line and then moving on to the Bags category.

She has done a couple of advertisements for Fast-track bags with Indian cricket hero Virat Kohli. The advertisements are cleverly shot and are of a very short duration. The one shot at the airport has Genelia tease an airport officer with naughty looks. The airport officer asks whether she has any extra luggage, and the mischievous girl points towards Virat Kohli, who is seen fiddling with something in the background. As the flirting goes on, Virat is innocently unaware of what Genelia is doing. What is fun to see are the naughty eye movements of both Genelia and the airport officer! The ad has been backed up by exciting Spanish music, which complements every move that the cute girl makes.

With such brilliant performances, Genelia is sure to write herself into the cheque books of many other youth centric brands. Fans of the vivacious babe can enjoy videos and movies of Genelia as well as the advertisement of Fast-track on NyooTV.com.

Sanju Baba packs a punch at the 'Knock Out' Press Conference

Actors Sanjay Dutt, Irrfan Khan and Kangna Ranaut seem to be in top form as they speak about their roles and their upcoming film 'Knock Out'. The dashing three were present at the press conference with director Mani Shankar and Apoorva Lakhia. The movie promises to be an action thriller and is slated to be released on 15th October 2010. With the promos of the movie due to release in theatres and on TV channels on 2nd September, the movie will be backed up by an impressive promotional campaign. The movie stars the likes of Sanjay Dutt, Kangna Ranaut, Irrfan Khan, Gulshan Grover, Rukhsar, Sushant Singh, and a special appearance by Apoorva Lakhia.

Sanjay Dutt, the rockstar who made his debut in 'Rocky' exactly 30 years ago has pulled off a wide range of roles in his long career, ranging from the lovable 'Murali Prasad Sharma' in Munna Bhai MBBS to the deadly 'Baloo' in Khalnayak. Sanju who was seen in his trademark white shirt and blue denims is all pumped for the release of the movie. The movie Knock Out will see Sanjay in a different setting, where he'll be seen alone in most of the scenes and the veteran actor says that working alone was very challenging even for him.

The outspoken Irrfan Khan was the life of the press conference, with his witty comments and replies to the huge crowd of reporters. He was seen in a casual white jacket and a matching white shirt and white denims. Talking about the now famous scene in the movie trailer where he is seen dancing on the tunes of Katrina's 'Zara Zara Touch Me', Irrfan says that he merely tried to mimic his director Mani Shankar's dance moves! Apart from doing the playful dance, Irrfan also said that he has enjoyed working with Sanjay Dutt and is eagerly looking forward to the release of the movie.

"This film has nothing to do with the Hollywood blockbuster Phonebooth and is a completely independent screenplay," says director Mani Shankar, in response to the allegations that the 'Knock Out' is a just another rip-off from a Hollywood movie. Meanwhile Bollywood's delicate darling and fresh from her 'Once Upon A Time in Mumbaai' success, Kangna Ranaut was looking all fabulous in a silver dress. When asked about her experience during the movie, Kangna jokingly says that running around in 5 inch heels was quite a job. In the movie, she plays the role of a TV reporter who is seen covering the events in the movie as they happen live. About her glamorous look in the movie, Kangna says that if you are going to be seen by a huge audience on TV, you better look your best! Now we know where all the pretty dresses she wears come from.

All in all, this movie promises to 'Knock Out' the audience with its gripping storyline and powerful characters.

Talking to the reporters, the bubbly actress explains that the movie is very simple and has a city couple bring a girl from Uttar Pradesh to take care of their child when they are away for work. Inspired by real-life instances and the director's research, "Life Express" looks at how the busy life in metros tends to leave little time for a career-oriented woman to have children.

Ghazal guru Jagjit Singh who has sung a song in the movie says that the music given by Roop is extremely simple yet beautifully melodious.

Another feather in the decorated hat of Capt. Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar

Sachin Tendulkar, added one more accomplishment to the long list of accolades when he was conferred with the honorary rank of Group Captain by the Indian Air Force on 3rd September 2010. He is the first Indian sportsperson to be given the prestigious rank by the IAF and the first person with no aviation record to have this recognition.

Indian President Pratibha Patil had announced this honorary rank on 23rd June. The batting legend is now the brand ambassador for the Indian Air Force and will look forward to inspire the nation's youth to join the IAF. The rank was bestowed upon the Mumbai lad by IAF chief, Air Marshall P V Naik. "The President and the Supreme Commander of the Armed Forces of India is pleased to confer Sachin Ramesh Tendulkar the honorary rank of Group Captain of the Indian Air Force," the IAF said.

Sachin was honored in recognition for his magnificent contribution to the Indian national cricket team and for being a sports person par excellence. Thrilled with the actual ceremony Sachin said, "It's a great pleasure and honor to come here and to be honored by IAF. This is a very important day for me and I will remember this, my entire life. I cannot say this is a dream come true, but it was only wishful thinking and it has come true. It is indeed a great honor that I have been considered for honorary Group Captain in the IAF. As an Indian I am proud to be associated with the dynamic force and I shall do my very best to be brand ambassador for the force."

The ace batsman had to earn his rank and had to go through familiarization process with the IAF and underwent training in basic military practices and drills. Tendulkar was looking smart as ever in a crisp IAF uniform at the felicitation ceremony. To add to the good looks, the master and now Captain of IAF also carried a pair of aviators in which he was clicked after the event.

"I'm extremely proud to be a part of IAF. I want to urge the youth to join air force and serve the nation. Chase your dreams, because dreams do come true," Tendulkar addressed the youth of the nation after receiving the honor. Sachin was mesmerized by superbikes and planes when he was a kid, and admitted that he was 'scared' after his first plane-ride in the 'Impalla', especially when the pilot of his plane told him about the emergency exit procedures from a plane.

Talking about the movie, director Indra Kumars says, "We don't want to make a proposal and cheat the audience in the name of a sequel." This can be seen in terms of the efforts that the director has put in the movie by going over 12 scripts before finalizing the current one. Kangna Ranaut is overwhelmed with the fun she is having on the sets of the movie and exclaims, "The guys always want to have fun! They even make fun of ME!" While veteran actor Sanjay Dutt says that the entire star-cast is like a family and the atmosphere on the sets is very comfortable and fun loving.

Sometime back there were also rumors that 'Kismat Konnection' beauty Vidya Balan might be cast in the movie, and also that Arshad Warsi was disbanded from the sequel. But all proved to be wrong, as the entire star-cast along with Aamir Khan and Anil Kapoor (for the exception of Mallika, who had just arrived in the city then) were present for the muhurat clap of the movie. You can watch the entire Double Dhamaal event along with a host of videos from the prequel Dhamaal on NyooTV.com.

NyooTV announces a documentary series on the story and music videos of popular band Euphoria

Mumbai, August 25, 2010: NyooTV; India's first Online Social TV announces a documentary series on the journey of India's most loved band Euphoria through their landmark music videos. The series will be called "Hind Rock n Roll" and will be produced by Mr. Gaurav Mendiratta, Founder and President of NyooTV. This is a unique initiative by NyooTV in association with Euphoria to create exclusive content and provide their followers with never before stories and experiences related to the videos of 14 classic Euphoria songs.

Fronted by doctor rocker Palash Sen, Euphoria has always had a special place in the hearts of Indian music lovers with hits like "Dhoom" "Maaeri" "Gully" and "Mehfuz". They are known as the biggest and the most prolific band in the subcontinent, with 4 chartbuster albums, a "best of" compilation record, hit singles and live concerts across the globe. Euphoria is known for their earthy and fresh music videos, which were instrumental in launching the careers of famous Bollywood actresses like Neha Dhupia, Rimi Sen and Vidya Balan.

The documentary will be webcast on www.nyootv.com in a series of 14 bi- weekly episodes, approximately 10-15 minutes in duration. The first episode will be webcast on the 17th of September 2010. This date coincides with the release date of the first ever Euphoria promo, "Dhoom Pichuck Dhoom" which took the world by storm on the 17th of September 1998. Shot in Varanasi, this video introduced Euphoria and marked the coming of age of popular film maker Pradeep Sarkar, who has directed films like "Parineeta" and the latest blockbuster, "Lafangey Parindey". The other directors included Dibakar Bannerjee of "Love Sex aur Dhokha" and "Khosla ka Ghosla Fame", Amitabh Bhattacharya, Dhiraaj Bannerjee and award winning documentary film maker Vikram Mishra.

The episodes will be available for free viewing on www.nyootv.com and will be bundled with contests and exciting prizes like autographed CD's, tickets to Euphoria concerts and a chance to meet Dr. Palash Sen and the band.

Commenting on this venture, Mr. Gaurav Mendiratta, Producer of the documentary and Founder and President of NyooTV.com said, "We have always believed in giving premium quality content to our viewers and are focused on providing them with what they want. We noticed that there is a lot of curiosity and demand to have Euphoria's popular music videos on www.nyootv.com and hence we approached Dr. Sen to acquire the necessary permissions for the videos. We wanted to offer our viewers a lot more than just the videos, so we decided to produce this documentary series. We are sure that a lot of people will appreciate this venture as this is a nice way to relive old memories for both the band and their fans. We are really looking forward to telling this story to the viewers and reintroducing them to their favourite band."

Expressing his views on this initiative, Dr. Palash Sen, Youth Icon and lead vocalist of Euphoria said, "The only thing permanent in life is change. People spend more time surfing the internet than in front of TV Shows, and so the medium of entertainment has changed. Our music is timeless and it is like a journey and we have so many fellow travellers. I know the Euphoria caravan will grow with NyooTV. It is a pleasure to know Gaurav. Like minded, progressive and part of our caravan. I know he'll carry our music to millions of internet junkies around the world. Hope all will sing along, dance along and Dhoom with us through our journey."
