Social Media analysed from an Indian perspective

In the age where social media defines and is enmeshed in the very fabric of our day to day activities, here's an attempt at throwing light at this whole online revolution from an Indian context. Co-authored by a wonderful colleague of mine, Vijayendra Haryal, I am sure his sharp insights and perspectives on this topic will be well appreciated by a lot of this blog's readers.

Titled "Social Media Simplified : Twitter Facebook-beyond Casual Networking" and Co-authored by an IIT-IIM grad and a PhD student in Marketing from MDI Gurgaon this is the first comprehensive book on Social Media in the Indian context.
