Fun at the #BergerXP Indiblogger meet with fellow bloggers and Berger Paints!

I received an invitation mail from Indiblogger about a meet which was for Berger Paints. This was very first Idiblogger meet and I was way too excited about the it. Excitedly I signed up immediately and read about the whole process. I reached the venue well in time and met some fellow bloggers. We introduced each other and mingled within minutes, blogging being the common thread. It was indeed a pleasure meeting all these lovely bloggers doing incredible work.

The meet was about Berger Paints and I was eager to know about what they had in stores to offer. After all, it is our home that is our dwelling, and everyday, we look forward to spend a relaxing time there. Who wouldn’t like a helping hand at beautifying it with pretty colours and latest innovations! A beautiful home with walls that reflect our personality is every one’s dream! And, we were being introduced to one of the top players from the paint industry. I was excited!

Breaking The Ice!

After lunch, we were proceeded to the Presidential Ballroom which had a semi-formal setting. Soon, all the bloggers were welcomed by Anoop, from idiblogger. He was a great orator and in minutes, he made everyone comfortable by encouraging all of us in a fun game. The game of musical chairs with a twist! Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed the game that I played after years altogether!

Berger Express Painting: #PaintYourImagination!

We were given an interesting presentation about Berger Paints and the new technology that they have introduced in India – Express Painting! This presentation by Mr. Chandranath Bannerjee — Product Manager, Express Painting, was surprising not boring like all the formal ones are! It was crisp, to the point, and insightful. He not only explained the nuances of painting but also focused on how Express Paintaing can be of real help to the customers. I was majorly impressed with the fact that he did not just made high claims about their product but, genuinely discussed how the product can solve the problems of customers that they have while getting their homes painted.

His presentation accurately depicted R and D numbers and facts. Berger Express Team pin pointed the exact issues that customers face while having their homes renovated and painted while giving practical solutions! Their customer oriented approach shined through the entire presentation.

I had my house painted last year during Ganesh Chaturthi and I certainly remember the stress we all went through! The mess, the irritating paint workers and unpaid leaves from office! :\

Major issues faced by consumers like us while having our homes painted:

• Time consumption
• Dust and mess around the house
• Health issues and allergies due to dust and the noice
• Unskilled and unprofessional painters and workers
• Safety problem (Having unknown workers at our houses for several days)
• Not happy with the finished result

Here are some of the key benefits and solutions Berger Express Painting offers:

• 40-50 percent faster than traditional painting
• Use of new technology and certified tools that give better results
• Trained painters for better quality painting
• Dust free and mess free painting
• Professional service that is safe and efficient (They have an App that links all their workers and painters.)
• Wide range of painting solutions to suit every need
• No additional cost to provide all these benefits

These among other feature helps Berger to stand tall amongst their competitors. Mr. Bannerjee was open about the fact that their competitors are also doing well but, he made it clear that they were the pioneers of Express Painting in India and they initiated the process of successfully launching these tools in the Indian markets.

Get Your Hands Dirty (with paint of course!) 😀 

After the presentation, it was time for all of the bloggers to get into action! We were divided into teams (I loved mine!) and made to participate in interesting activities related to painting. There was this sanding game where we had to remove the unevenness of paint from the board that was provided to us by Indiblogger and Berger Team. It was a time bound game and to my surprise, our team won! But, the amount of dust it created was unbearable, thank god we were provided with masks by those kind souls.

Then it was break time for us, as the team needed some time to set up the paint activity. By the time we had our Chai and Coffee, the set up was arranged for us! I learned from my team mates that we had to #PaintOurImagination and curate a painting with the theme – “Mumbai Meri Jaan.”

Mr. Bannerjee and his team explained us the entire process of mixing and using the paint. We were provided with all the essentials of painting viz. colours, brushes, pallets, beakers, water, among other stuff. After the orientation about painting, I felt like a professional ready to explore the canvas, though for the first time! 😀

As a team, we brought to life this painting which I feel is a good first time attempt! I kind of love it! 😀 As my fellow team mate mentioned, we created this painting as a team without hurting egos or spilling paint on each other! And I couldn’t agree more! It was a complete fun activity that brought complete strangers closer to being friends! 🙂

The day ended on a high note for me as I won #BergerXP Best Tweet of the day! And, it was like a sweet cherry on a delicious cake! I had a wonderful time meeting my fellow bloggers to whom I usually only read about on the internet. Also, like I always say, I am a personal growth junkie. So, knowledge of any kind to me is a blessing! At the event, I learnt so much about painting, its facts, the numbers and of course Express Painting.

It was indeed a great effort on part of the indiblogger’s team and BergerXP team to organize such a fantastic event and making all of us a part of it!

That’s all folks! It was great having the best of #Mumbai under one roof. #BergerXp pic.twitter.com/iQ6aswPGCR
