Barely 9 days into the launch, Zapylacz got its feather in the cap. Yup, we say it a feather in the cap because we got listed in the Social Media Companies in India and that too on none other than Gaurav Mishra’s blog as well as on the 20:20 Social Media analytics blog.

Gaurav Mishra, better known as “gauravonomics” in the dotcom world, is the co-founder of social media research and analytics company 20:20 Web Tech. In his previous avatars, he has done marketing at the Tata Group, taught social media at Georgetown University, and co-founded Vote Report India. His post on his blog Six Types of Social Media Agencies in India, lists Zapylacz among five other companies. While the others have been there for some time especially Rajesh Lalwani’s Blogworks, a couple were in a similar niche stage as Zapylacz.

Well that mention has pumped in further zeal in our work as we continue to vie for more clients and extend its reach. Zapylacz extends its thanks to GauravMishra for talking about us. Cheers !

First event overagec. June 13-14 we got to cover our first event. It was an event management workshop conducted by iReboot, The workshop was held at the 12th Avenue hotel in Indiranagar, Bangalore. Sidhanta Patnaik from the renonwed Wizcraft international was the mentor at the workshop.

In all there were 9 participants all from various backgrounds. The age group was also a varied lot with students ranging from as young as 14 to students moving from school to college to Engineers to pursuing MBA’s to MBA’s to Businessmen were present.

There were great insights on the Event Management Industry, how it operates, what are the things one should know before getting into the industry, what rules (not to be followed) inside the industry. What all risks one faces while conducting the events, the crunch situations, how to build networks, why relationships matter, facing critical situations, making instantaneous decsions, applying Common Sense and handling the crowd were some of the major points that were told that should be taken care of during the events.

Then there were discussions on a lot of matters with students asking a lot of “What if ” queries. At the end of day1 the participants were divided into 2 teams and were given a real life problem for which they had to conceptualize an event. The end of the day was brought by showing pictures and sharing some stories of the events which Sidhanta had conducted, the major ones were the SUnfeast 10K run in bangalore last month, the Nike Indian Cricket Team new jersey launch in Feb’09 and the handling of the KingsXI Punjab, IPL team during the first season last year.

Day2 saw some event promtion techniques, various orthodox as well as unconventional ways of marketing, advertising about your event. Also money involved and raising the money were discussed. The second half was primarily a leadership session with live examples being put into place. Sidhanta, having conducted so many events, had a lot of stories to share which the participants really enjoyed and helped them in connecting with the real scenarios he was presenting them.

The workshop was so great that the participants refrained from breaks on both days and even didn’t want to go for lunch until the mentor himself asked. All in all it was a great workshop with everybody learning so much that they decided to organize an event in the next couple of months showing appreciation to iReboot. We wish the participants and iReboot success.

How many times have we wondered that this is not what I want to to do in life but still staying in that job or on that profile ? Then the very next second the next question arises ? Why am i doing it if I don’t want to do ? Why don’t I quit ? And it doesn’t take long to get the answer as well. I am doing it for money! What do I do if I quit this ? Where will I earn my living from ? And then when we don’t find an answer to that we forget all our questions and then continue doing what we currently hate to do.

The problem is not with us, it’s natural to think of such things and to care about our living before thinking of anything else. So in that case how do we bail ourselves out ? How do we move out from our present condition ? Well the answer to that question is called iReboot.

iReboot, a unique and only one of its kind firm in India, let’s you experience your dream job or in simpler words find what you want to do in life and that too without even taking the risk of moving out from your present job.  Yes that’s why iReboot is unique. You might find many career counsellors who will try to help you figure out what you want to do and then leave you with 10 options to try which you will never try because you don’t know where to go and more importantly won’t want to lose your current source of income.

Mukta at iReboot allows you to try a few options for a couple of days along with a mentor, who will guide you in the job you are trying, and then decide for yourself whether you want to take make a career out of that job.  And best thing is that you don’t need to quit your job before you try the dream job opportunity. Isn’t it great ?

Rajiv went onto become a chef at a restaurant in Indiranagar, Bangalore and along with his mentor Manjit, cooked dinner for the guests that night.

When we are dissatisfied with our jobs we tend to think of hundreds of fields which we can excel in but have never had the option to try it out, but I guess not you cannot complain as iReboot has come to your rescue.

Well as of now iReboot operates in Bangalore and Mysore but it is growing at a fast pace. Having featured in Livemint and Hindu already, Mukta plans to spread iReboot’s wings to the all the metros nationwide.

Wow! Barely 2 days into operations, Zapylacz has got its first customer. iReboot, a unique firm which lets you “Experience your Dream Job” has given Zapylacz the priveldge to brand it.

We at Zapylacz Labs are honoured and highly pleased with this offer and pledge to make this opportunity into a real big success.

Thank you iReboot.

Ever since I came up with the name Zapylacz, there were questions about what does this mean and where did it come from ?

The Concept behind Zapylacz

Zapylacz is a polish term which means “Pollinator” in English. The idea behind the term is the very concept what we do. We treat all our clients as beautiful and delicate as Flowers. Every flower needs to grow and reproduce and it uses some resources for the same. The biological term for this is known as Pollination and the resource which helps the flower attain Pollination is known as the Pollinator.

The same principle applies to our flowers, read as customers. In order to grow, prosper and get more business, firms need to spread their seeds, for which they need resources. This is where we come into play and serve as that ultimate resource which will help reap the flowers, spread their seeds and make a buzz, exactly like the bee does it for the real flower.

Zapylacz creates Brands through the usage of Social Media,the next big thing which will leave any organization untouched.  That’s the idea behind forming Zapylacz, Your Social Media Branding Lab.
