TrustCircle Bangalore was indeed an evening to remember, marking its success with a gathering of 50+ brand leaders and representatives across different industries. The evening was indeed memorable. The evening was a toast to the celebration of the partnership and friendship we have shared for such a long time with our clients, and also about the success of each brand’s journey. The event also marked a time where all would come together to relax and connect, and share talks that rejuvenate their spirits, something that one needs after a day of heavy desk work and office meetings. Let’s get a deeper idea of what this spectacular evening had in store for us with this blog.
A Scene Set to Mesmerize
At the Merak Brew House, JW Marriott, Bangalore, the evening began at 6:30 pm, where brand leaders and representatives from industries such as D2C, Retail, fintech, BFSI, CRM, Healthcare, and many more were given a hearty welcome as they were escorted to the main gathering area. As they entered, they were refreshed with a set of signature mocktails and cocktails from our own bar menu, which brought in a lot of praise. There were also some really delicious appetizers to accompany the drinks as they began the meet and greet. We’d placed a placard with a set of questions that would give anyone a wave of ease if they felt stuck, to start a conversation.
The room was lit with dim, warm lights, and a cool breeze set the tone of the evening to a whole other level. Everyone was welcomed by Mr Shubham Gupta, who gave a heartfelt, welcoming speech. His words were a delight to a beautiful start for this grand event. Then came Mr. Imran, who enlightened us with his address. His words are always an emblem of inspiration and motivation to anyone who hears them. He walked through his life story and how he started TrustSignal, and also about his vision towards the importance of communication
The Evening’s Highlight: Fireside Session with Meta and Vi
Then came the major highlight of the evening, an engaging fireside session packed with fresh insights was conducted by Mr Imran and Mr Tushar with a delegate of Meta and a delegate of Vi. The first fireside was with a delegate of Meta and had questions revolving around WhatsApp as the new growth engine for customer engagement. With their answers, they opened the doors for us to explore a lot of whats and hows of the real-world insights, along with how the world is swiftly shifting from the traditional communication channels towards modern-day communication channels like WhatsApp, and how communication as a whole is changing so rapidly as the demands for it change simultaneously with the needs of the brand and the needs of the customers.
For the second part of the fireside session, we had a delegate from Vi (Vodafone Idea), who centered his talks around RCS, the next frontier in customer communication strategies. The discussion with the respective delegate gave us a clear breakdown on how RCS is reshaping how brands communicate with their customers and audiences, becoming a channel that offers richer content and brings interactive experiences, and verified messaging that goes far beyond simple messaging services. The guests listened to each of the answers with keenness as they sparked a rush of innovation in everyone’s minds, highlighting the future of messaging and how technology is shaping the world of communication for us all.
Both sessions were like a moment of enlightenment for all.
Gala Dinner with Cheerful Talks and Comfort
Once the fireside session was over, we had a vote of thanks by Mr Shubham, who thanked the guests by expressing how graceful everyone’s presence had made the evening a successful one. After that came the time of experiencing culinary excellence on another level with the dinner served sumptuously. To suit every person’s taste, we had a curated cuisine that had a hint of Karnataka’s authenticity in each bite. Everyone got together, celebrating the grandness with shared bites and toasts with beautiful chatter going around at every seating. To give a punch of sweetness to digest every delightful bite, we had a line of desserts that brought a sweet-tooth moment even for those who weren’t much of a dessert lover, ranging from Moong Dal ka Halwa to Tiramisu to Ras Malai.
Here, every bite was a taste of heaven on our plates. It brought in our hearts a moment of comfort and ease as we sat and enjoyed our meals, not thinking about the next flight or the schedule lined up. The meaning of TrustCircle was complete with this, as we noticed everyone indulging in so well and sharing a talk of not any show business but rather genuineness.
Bidding a Farewell with Happiness and Gratitude in Hearts
By 11:30 pm, it was time to bid farewell to everyone. Before everyone left, we handed each person a goody bag that consisted of gifts to appreciate their coming and spending time with us. This token of gratitude was also symbolic of the appreciation we feel for the friendship we’ve shared with them all these years, and a promise of a prolonged relationship to share with them. We made sure everyone received their goody bags and were escorted to the gate. This brought an end to the second vertical of the event, TrustCircle. The honest opinion on the gala night that we got was the openness it brought to all in communicating, and how approachable everyone felt.
They appreciated us for our hard work, and we were proud of making everyone feel at home and settled because that was the actual essence of TrustCircle: to make people feel at ease, take them somewhere out of the daily workaholic chaos, and towards something fruitful and rejuvenating. TrustCircle closed on a note of warmth and gratitude, reminding us that networking is more powerful when it feels like friendship. With this success, TrustCircle looks forward to creating more evenings where leaders meet and connect to build a better tomorrow.
