Congrats Pinstorm!!! A great achievement for a company who has successfully created a milestone in the techno world. This kind of award is a great success for such techno-driven companies and firms.
That's definitely great going for a firm that started its journey just few years back. They have impressive clientèle base and based on such awards, there is only one way they can go; up! Its heartening to see an Indian firm doing so great.
Pinstorm is certainly the leader and they are professionally managed with excellent track record. They deserved this award.

This is a Bad Joke right?!
What Pinstorm does there are over 500 firms in Banaglore who do the same and on a much larger scale!
Wake up guys it's just SEM I am sure there are atleast 100 firms doing that in Bombay too?!
Agree with u Shreedhar... its terrible.. Pstorm is like a standard sem "cost per lead" company... thousands of companies in bangalore/hyderabad/chennai/mumbai/delhi/gurgaon etc do it
Thats why i said the idiom 'red herring' is apt. Check out the definition of the words "Red Herring":
A red herring is an idiom referring to a device which intends to divert the audience from the truth or an item of significance
