Participatory DemocracyWith

New Age Interactive Media

• Abstract: India’s Democracy is often referred as a ‘Miracle Democracy’ by the western press. No country has more heroically pursued the promise of democracy. Against the odds of staggering poverty, conflicting religious passions, linguistic pluralism, regional separatism, caste injustice and natural resource scarcity, corruption and social unrest. Indians have lifted themselves largely by their own sandal straps to become a stalwart democracy and emerging global power.

• Inspite of all the achievements in the last 60 years, we the people in India grumble, criticize and blame the Government, the political & bureaucratic class, justice system, police and the sorts. This only indicates that, there is more to do and more refinements to bring into our democratic system. As a large democratic country, we do have problems. Most of our problems can be addressed by collaborative efforts between people to people, people to government, and people to corporate programs. The New Age interactive media; which is an amalgamation of web 2.0, social media, IPTV, Interactive Billboards, Mobile VAS, OOi Paper and Digital Signage has the potential to provide the necessary framework for interactions and make the collaboration productive, transparent and effective.

“Everyone has a chance to standout.Everyone has a chance to learn,

improve and build up their skills . Everyone has a chance to be a Brand

worthy of remark” – Tom Peters. father of branding.

>> You are a Media and a Brand too !

Interactive Media:

1

>>Every enterprise is a Media entity and a Brand too !

Interactive Media:

In a Media economy, every enterprise turns into a media entity in order to

connect with their employees, partners and customers.

2

>>Democratic Institution is a Media entity and a Brand too !

Interactive Media:

Nobody understands branding better than professional services firms. Look at McKinsey or Arthur Andersen for a model to create Professional Services for Social Change.

They have almost no hard assets. They have lots of soft assets -- more conventionally known as people, preferably smart, motivated, talented people. And they have huge revenues -- and astounding profits.

They also have a very clear culture of work and life. You're hired, you report to work, you join a team -- and you immediately start figuring out how to deliver value to the customer. You figure out what it takes to create a distinctive role for yourself -- you create a message and a strategy to promote the brand called You.
