Back to 17th December 2017.
Olive Grapes was just 1 year old at that time in Chennai. It was just a very small brand.
I approached one leading hospital in Chennai for their website revamp where I met a gentleman named Arun. I always get a good feeling when I meet someone with my name.
There was an old CEO who felt investing on website is worthless. But I was in regular follow up till 2019. After that I stop following and no contacts between us.
Back to last week. He called me. He asked me straight "Are you still in the same line of business" and I said "Yes".
Yesterday we met and I got introduced to new CEO. On the table negotiations happened, terms discussed and project on.
After the meeting he said, being big hospital in city, many branding agencies approach us, but I felt like calling you first.
I realised a thing
How we are behaving with others is important than whether you have big brand or small brand. People remember the warmth which you give.
