He is also an aspiring tech entrepreneur!)

He also the man who needs to be thanked for his persistence in pushing our Chief Blogger to put the profiles up! )
Company : WATConsult.com
Blogger Type : Associate Blogger (Mr. Story Teller. Yes his blogs have a casual story telling approach. So he may take you to his childhood and talk about his love for hrithik roshan songs and connect the same to music downloads! As he is from UP - Uttar Pradesh.. You will read a lot of local hindi terms in his posts .. Be it “Ramu kaka, Nani, Dadi etc.. You can hear his personal stories on his personal blog! )

A Gujju at heart and by vocabulary as well!! Yucks.. is pronounced as YUUUckS.. and Zenzi as Zanzi!! lolzzzz.. But she is also the sweetest and only girl in the WAT office as of now! )

Blogger Type : Associate Blogger (If she has to write a post then we need 2 assistants to read it. 2 more to edit it and 4 more to add the analysis!! Lolzzz.. Yea she does end up writing something in the end! What she does best is email interviews with CEO’s and startup founders which should be quite a killer feature on WATBlog! But even for those our chief blogger is her assistant in framing the questions!!)
Writing Style : She is still discovering her style! Thankfully we make sure she doesnt blabber about her last night party and how her friends had a blast in a post! If incase she does that do forgive her!..lol
Location : Mumbai

His posts need tonnes of leisure time as they take atleast 10 minutes to read and another 10 to understand and another 10 to dwell upon! Known to give deep insights and well researched thoughts in the short time that he has taken to blogging he has already created a good fan following for his posts! Also in just a few months he has clocked over 200 posts! One more mad man to the tally after our chief blogger!)
Writing Style : Long, Analytical and insightful posts. That deal with macro as well as micro aspects about the topic.
Location : Mumbai
Contact : harshil(at)watconsult(dot)com
The man who flew all the way from Bangalore to be a WATBlogger & A Part Of The WATTeam!! We hired him because he didn’t ask us our address he instead asked us to point it out on Wikimapia! Also his first few days were spent in travelling across mumbai i.e. right from new bombay to colaba! Rupesh is what you would call a purist i.e. He wont blog unless he loves what he is writing even if it means he hasn’t blogged for months! Rupesh offlate has shifted to a new place near Kennedy Bridge and is quite distracted by the surrounding and therefore his pronounciation of section is sexton! Right rupesh? 
On the whole rupesh is someone who may not have the greatest vocabulary..pssst.. he does a define: on google whenever he doesnt understand a word and he may also not have the best accent.. WATShow is pronounced as WATSow! :S But he is a great guy to be around and Yes! He finally made our Chief Blogger realise the value of 1GB RAM! Psst.. Our chief blogger’s brains runs on 8mb ram till date :))
Designation : Head Corporate Blogging Strategy & SMO Innovation
(Yes! he is the head of Corporate Blogging & SMO Innovation.. And probably the best man when it comes to blogs and blogging.. He is the first WAT guy to single handedly do a blog demo and also do a training session in the WAT office in just 1 month of him joining us! His other work besides corpoarte blogging is to make our Lead Consultant realise the value of fast computing! And when he gets frustrated he removes his frustration on yellow balls in office! Nopes.. not those balls.. Its the smiley ones!:P Besides for Blogging its breakfast that he cant do without and ofcourse.. His girlfriends near kenedy bridge.. right rupesh ;))
Company : WATConsult.com
Blogger Type : Associate Blogger (His posts come few and far between. But when he does write he writes well. He has been a blogger since long and runs his own personal blog on http://fundubytes.blogspot.com.)
Writing Style : Innovative ideas, insights, and something that another geek would wanna read. Rupesh has the different way of seeing things and NO Im not talking about the women at Kennedy bridge which comes across from his posts.
Location : Mumbai
Contact : rupesh(at)watconsult(dot)com
Name : Rushabh Choksi
(His pic could seriously make you think why the hell have we hired a Philosopher! Well we havent! Rushabh is a silent killer.. His silence is his greatest asset! And when he talks he cracks some seriously funny jokes!)
Designation : Head SMO - Quality (Mr.Efficient and MR.Fast! Rushabh does a lot at the WAT office right from Social Media Optimization to Content Consulting. He also chats with his girl friends.. shhh.. He says they are just friends! Besides for SMO he is also the official pownce.com king! No one creates online conversations like this dude does!)
Company : WATConsult.com
Blogger Type : Associate Blogger (He started nervously as a blogger.. but he has grown in stature! Please pardon his grammar errors as i guess its his so called girl friends on Gmail who distract his attention while he is writing posts! )
Writing Style : Most beautiful posts i.e pics, video, bold text. His posts are a delight to the eyes as he is great at highlighting the important stuff!
Location : Mumbai
Contact : rushabh(at)watconsult(dot)com
Name :Shayon Pal (His real name is Sadanand.. ooops.. No Satyantan.. Err.. Satyanarayan.. Ok.. We Give Up!) (Well doesn’t he look like a serial killer in the pic?? Any comments anyone?)
Designation : WATEditor (Yo Yo Yes! You read it right.. WATBlog.. more like WATMedia now with the number of WAT’s increasing rapidly has an Editor.. So Shayon’s job is to look through stories.. when he isn’t busy looking at girls.. Blog some of them.. Motivate WAT guys to post on WATBlog. Invite guest bloggers and look through each post for spelling mistakes formatting and proof reading etc.. So if you ever see a spelling mistake again on WATBlog you know whom to abuse! lolzz)
Company : WATMedia Pvt Ltd (YoYo again! We are a Pvt Ltd now.. Yipee! Though we are as Whacky as we were before!)
Blogger Type : Associate Blogger (He is a grand dad as far as blogging is concerned. Started blogging 2004 on shayonslabyrinth.com! Its ok.. we will forgive you for forgetting this url. )
Writing Style : Posts with NO Spelling mistake.. More on technology and less on online advertising. So expect Shāyon to power T in WAT in a big way!

Blogger Type : Associate Blogger (Mr Analysis! Thats how we would describe him..

Now you know we really test our people’s talents!! ..lol)
Designation : Associate WATConsultant
(Yes! he is a WATConsultant.. But because he is a self proclaimed writer and aspiring novelist. Thats why his role in WATConsult is more to do with content strategy and development.. His work can be found at Giftex Blog and Parenting Blog. Another thing that he cannot do without is his 20 minutes of peaceful time in our office loo just before everyone is to leave .. I guess our loo has the osho aashram feel to it!! What say ronak?..lolzzz.. Psst..Ronak went wild after reading this.. And wants us to delete half the profile!!!

Also he is quite a frequent blogger and someone who doesnt analyse much but gives you news as it is.. And the most important point! His blogs suffer from lack of links thats coz he has still not figured out how to link in the blogging platform that WATblog uses! So you can credit the linking aspect of his blogs to the chief blogger! )

Name : Nikhil Kulkarni
(if you are seeing the women statue in the background and thinking that the book nikhil seems to be reading could be of similar content!! err.. we know his broad smile gives that perception that he is enjoyin himself a lil too much to be reading a serious book.. and that also he claims it to be “Perfect Store: Inside eBay”! We can forgive you to think that his mind was inside someone.. ahemm.. something else..lol But what you have to understand is that this guy works for a Google.org funded company! how many guys have that priviledge? so internet books or knowledge in general is his kinda fun.. We are serious!..lol )
