Met with Gigabyte Deputy Director Marketing Head Tim Handley, or in simple terms Hicookie's Boss this Monday. The kind of unprofessional I am, instead of Interview it turned to normal discussion. Do visit the link to hear the interview. Tried youtube but I guess it doesnt allow more than 15 minutes.

This Monday, Gigabyte Global Deputy Director Marketing Head Tim Handley came over to Delhi, India for Annual Conference, and we were Invited to have a chat with him. So we went prepared for a 15min. discussion and though I am late everywhere else, I came on time for this meeting and we had a free-wheeling discussion ranging various topics, so much so that our conversation went on for more than an hour. Audio is almost untouched, so please do not mind the casual tone though it has been reduced quite a bit to avoid boredom, . There were no set topic and it ranged from :

1) Marketing Strategies of Gigabyte
2) Dates for GOOC 2011
3) Promoting Overclocking in India
4) Plans for X79
5) Z68 Platform
6) Freewheeling chat about Hicookie, Dinos, Vivi, Shamino, Vince, 3D01, Abit, DFI, Sapphire,

LOL, very cool banik, very
Tim-"You can expect to the see the same range of motherboards from Gigabyte you currently see"
Interesting how he said the x58-oc is also targeted at the server crowd as well as overclockers for strenuous 24/7 overclocked duties.
Banik-"Overclockaholics, thats the #1 U.S. Team" <------Loving the plug WINNING!
Handley is an excellent communicator. Nice knowing that he has intimate knowledge of his products. Banik puts on the pressure like a slippery pro
Banik needs to start Delhi E-shop ASAP!
Tim- "If you can bench 01 well, your a good overclocker, don't care if its an old benchmark" (in reference to tweaking abilities of Dino, Youngpro & Vivi)

Very nice insider history on the Motherboard Design Team that ended up at EVGA thru the fall of Abit, DFI and is currently at......

Really enjoyed that interview banik

Thanks, As for the e-tailer gig, would need only around 1,000,000$ to start up a decent Online business with a half-decent warehouse and great prices. This is without any money being put into for promotion and advertising. With Corporate Investors behind, this is a field in India which has opportunity for exponential growth.
