As a co-owner of an international IT firm specializing in tailored solutions for media (www.infotech.co.id), Poonam is also a TV talk show host and manages a successful community portal for Indians in Indonesia (www.indoindians.com). This has given her hands-on learning with online social networking, digital interactive technologies and the power of the web.
