An Awesome Sense of Accomplishment

Compassion: Norbulingka Institute, Dharmsala, India 

We have just completed a giant roller coaster trip of Northern, Central and Western India. Here is the route we followed - La Sarraz-Geneva-Zurich-Delhi-Dhramsala-Delhi-Jabalpur-Delhi-Mumbai-Ahmedabad-Delhi-Zurich-Geneva-La Sarraz. We met new friends, thanked old friends, received blessings from elders and reconnected with cousins. Overall, we are blessed with an awesome sense of accomplishment and here is why?

1. In every city, we received re-confirmation that what we are doing is something good: Building a global market for handmade goods is clearly seen as a positive thing. And building a platform where anyone can discover good people, projects and products is very challenging because creating the human network of social enterprises, advertisers, Majambassadors, developers, designers, marketing experts and support teams (lawyers, accountants) and early adopters takes time & perseverance.

2. We met with three incredible people in Dharmsala, Mumbai and Delhi, who have agreed to become Majamba Ambassadors (Fellowship Track). We will be announcing their names soon.

3. We met with five social enterprises in Dharmsala and Ahmedabad that will be publishing a part of their catalog on Majamba.Me

4. We thanked the development team in Ahmedabad for their hard work and valuable advice.

5. We were blessed by our family in Delhi who took the time to visit us for a dinner honoring my mother who also enjoyed the first of a kind party.

6. And we sat down with my Uncle in Mumbai who advised us to tweak the business model; create a sharper value proposition and complete the foundation (team and platform) before launching the marketing campaign. Currently planned for October 2012.
