Vikram Kharvi bags "Young PR Professional of the year 2011' Award
Commenting on the achievement, Vikram Kharvi, said, "It is an endeavor of every PR professional to create successful campaigns and help brands achieve the deserved image. While doing so he has a silent desire of being recognized for his services, which comes very rarely by his way. Such recognition from institutions such as YICOF will not only motivate young professionals but will only strengthen their commitment to give their best shot at every project they manage. The industry needs more such awards and an urgent need to recognize the hard work put in by the PR Professionals. PR is the most undermined service in the entire gamut of the media business."
