The third to speak was Munaz Anjum, ecommerce consultant at Kensium Solutions who tried to explain the importance of web 3.0. He feels the need to concentrate less on content and more on concept. Staying true to his point most of his presentation focused on Semantic web and why google transformed from Search Engine to Knowledge engine and how it is now transforming into Answer engine.

The next to take the podium was Gayathri Choda, Founder & CEO Datapub who enchanted the audience with her insights on Search Analytics.

Her profound knowledge about SEO helped the audience gain awareness about using different tools to understand and better their websites’ performance.

He wants to raise awareness on the topic of web accessibility, himself being visually impaired his aim to make the web more friendly towards visually impaired.

Towards the end of the event, there was a Q&A session where speakers had an engaging discussion into challenges faced by the various members in the audience from digital marketing perspective. Setting aside the facts that the mikes posed problems regularly and small display of the screen, idoneseo managed pull out a good event. Hope they come up with more events to help the entrepreneurs across India.
