India’s First Community Group to Adopt 3 Persuasion Modes for Visibility
We’re India’s first community forum to adopt and revive the almost 2000-year-old Aristotle Persuasion Model of 4 appeals: logos, pathos, ethos, and kairos. We generate visibility and reputation through the combination of pathos (stories ), logos (profile), ethos (listings/search engine rankings), and Kairos (people – community & networking at the right time) through our startups business directory. Talk to us to know more about it before joining our community.
