Over 1000 developers, IT professionals and techies came together at the 8th annual edition of Google Devfest in Pune, Maharashtra. Organised by Google Developer Group, Devfest saw a confluence of the best young minds in Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and more.<\/p>\n

Bruce Schwack, Chief Communications Officer for Netmeds.com and renowned global marketing and customer experience expert enthralled the Google Developers\u2019 Devfest 2019 crowd in Pune and left them hungry for more after nearly an hour spent regaling the crowd of more than 1000 Google Developers with \u2018stories that became lessons.\u2019 The theme of Schwack\u2019s address was \u2018Lemons to Lemonade: Finding the Sweet Spot in Customer Experience,\u2019 and many of his stories were about direct communication with customers, in his ongoing quest to make \u20181000 customers who hate us, love us again.\u2019<\/p>\n

Serendipitously, one such customer was Ms. Sucheta Dhere, a Machine Learning and AI expert for more than 20 years, who got a call from Schwack after she had expressed some dissatisfaction about one of her Netmeds experiences. Ms. Dhere said, \u201cI was both surprised and impressed that the head of the CX department was personally calling me.\u201d The call evolved into a friendship, and as one of the leaders of Women in Data and working with the organizers of the annual Developers\u2019 Devfest in Pune, Ms. Dhere invited Bruce to speak at the event, held Sept 28 at the JW Marriott.<\/p>\n

Event organizer and head of the Pune Google Developer Group Mahaveer Muttha raved about the talk saying, \u201cIt\u2019s really amazing the way Bruce weaves his stories and experiences into lessons for life and business. This was one of the biggest Devfest events ever and he had the entire crowd on its feet.\u201d<\/p>\n

After the event more than 100 fest attendees lined up to take a selfie with Bruce and subsequently create a tweetstorm in which many of the tweets included praises like, \u201cpowerful, energizing, awesome and incredible\u201d and many recalled the lessons that were imparted. One that was mentioned often related to the story Bruce told about Netmeds.com delivering to a forest conservator in a Kaziranga National Park in Assam, and saving him a 12 hour round trip drive to the pharmacy each month, with the lesson being, \u201cwhen you can create something that\u2019s a good business and good for the society, that\u2019s winning!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
