Bhaskar: Digital Marketing is a cool area. This is like a bridge for me. A bridge that connects both my learnings in engineering as well as MBA. It is quite an interesting field to explore. Best part is, it is not just about analytical skill that one need, nor the experience. Even a newbie might defeat an experienced one, only if he can think out-of-box. Only thing that limits a Digital Marketer is his creativity, knowledge is easy to achieve with an access to internet.

Do you suggest any changes to Digital Vidya so that the value of its Internship Programme can be enhanced further?
Bhaskar: As this is my professional habit to study whatever interests me, I could not help myself without judging the internship progarmme. I will suggest to decrease the assignments and increase the word limit of the contents. Teach them to analyze a particular topic in detail with numerical data and facts collected from credible source. It takes at least two days of good research and analysis to produce an exceptional content that can drive huge number of visitors.
