"More than ever, India's smartphone subscribers need LBS solutions such as timesPoynt that make it easier to create meaningful and relevant connections to the goods, services or genuine experiences they require."
The growth trajectory for mobile usage and the LBS market opportunity that it presents in India will be the primary topics of discussion during the April 10th webinar.

Featured speakers include Marco Hunstad, Senior Vice President of Business Development and Global Distribution for Poynt, and Siddhaarth Jalan, Assistant Vice President of TimesCity.com.
