About Us

• Sharebar

Once upon a time, we happened to hear that India is lagging behind in social media as in other walks of life. So we wet our toes to find out if its true. Soon we were delighted to find ourselves neck-deep in some awesome social media action flooding the country, much to our surprise – really! Sadly, nobody was documenting it. So we thought – why not start a blog to capture all this wonderful social media stuff happening in our country? And that’s how ’Lighthouse Insights’ was born on Dec 1, 2010.

We bring you the complete picture of the Indian social media scene backed with relevant insights, by focussing largely on but not limited to – Indian social media news, social media case studies and campaigns, researched articles, social media app reviews, how to’s for social networks and expert interviews from the Indian social media industry. We explore deeper into the press releases for our stories, enabling a neutral approach to the events that shape up the Indian social media industry.

Who are we?

We are a team of two social media believers (now also married to each other) and heck no, we are not social media experts.

Prasant

Hi! I’m Prasant, Blogger and Founder. I do the content research and love to experiment with social media. I am a social media trainer and speaker too. A diehard Royal Enfield fan and a voracious reader who also blogs at Life 2.0. In case, you have an idea/suggestion for me regarding the content, feel free to connect with me at prasant[@]lighthouseinsights[.]in or I’m just a tweet away @lhinsights.

Vinaya

Hi! I am Vinaya, Blogger and Co-Founder. I also function as the Editor as well as graphic designer, as and when required. In case, you are not happy with the edits, you know who to blame. When not blogging, you can find me buried behind a book, pencil sketching, painting, outdoors or blogging personally at Oldfox 004. I believe that perfection is  a journey, so there is always room for improvement. If you feel the same, please mail me your feedback at vinaya[@]lighthouseinsights[.]in or tweet me @oldfox004.

Blowing our trumpet:

Yes, we have been interviewed by YourStory  first here in 2011 and then here in 2013 because we got listed amongst the Top 10 Social Media blogs 2013 by Social Media Examiner. In 2011, we were also the featured blog at Shareaholic. And, if all that online fame and recognition wasn’t enough for us, the Asian Age (dated Dec  5, 2012) covered our story in its Business section. See ‘Indian Social Media gets a major boost’!
