Tellychakkar.com turns NINE today; A big Thank You to everyone

Facebook is more than 10 years old. Twitter turns eight next month. We, at Tellychakkar.com, are in the happy space of being between them; one year younger than Facebook and one year older than Twitter. And, at nine, we, at Tellychakkar.com, are all ready to shine. Even more than we have been in the recent past. Our community has swelled to around a million users, and around 9 million page views a month as of early 2014. We believe that’s a good place to be. But, we also believe that it’s only going to get better. And that’s thanks to millions of television and film fans worldwide who want to stay engaged with their favourite shows, movies and actors. Talking about the portal’s progress, Anil Wanvari, CEO and Founder of Indian Television Dot Com says (Tellychakkar is under the umbrella of the above mother brand), “Our eighth year has been the most satisfying: we have seen a 50 per cent growth rate on almost every front; unique visitors, unique page views and of course social networking. Our ninth looks set to get even better, we look forward to getting you even more exciting stories, insights and peeps into what you love.” He continues, “What is our vision for Tellychakkar.com? We see it as the definitive destination for TV and film lovers, and we see them making it even more so, by their activity in our forums, and sharing of our content on the various social networking sites. This can only lead to a snowballing effect, with the community only expanding further. And so on.” Anoop Wanvari, General Manager, Indian Television Dot Com talks about the business opportunities with Tellychakkar.com, “It’s a great platform for clients, business houses, FMCGs et al to reach out to their target customers, given the reach of the portal. It is widely read by the both B2C and B2B community and has a reader base in more than 204 countries. An ideal platform for people to foster their business plans with a touch of glamour.” Adds Siddhartha Laik, Head, Tellychakkar.com, “We are sure that the insatiable appetite and hunger of our readers to stay connected will encourage them to rope in more of their network to log on to Tellychakkar.com so that by the time we celebrate our 10th anniversary next year, more than three times that number will be partaking of the online partying with us.” And to celebrate the big day, we are having a party at Firangi Paani, one of the hottest destinations in Mumbai to let your hair down and have some wonderful time with your loved ones. Talking about the association, Mamta Bhatt, Director BJN Group, shared, “Today we are celebrating Tellychakkar.com’s completion of 9 years in business and the party will see some big names from television & film industry. We are looking forward to it. Firangi Paani is an English pub, based on retro theme. The rustic décor, experience and the feel, all takes you back to the 60s. Our authentic bar serves an eclectic mix of cocktails and mocktails. We have some mouth-watering variety of food right from Tibetan chicken to Mexican Veracruz, Swiss Fondue and some of Indian delicacies too. Our DJ plays some great retro music that is never enough for your soul.
