Dubai: Acme a well-known brand specialized in the business of building materials in the Gulf Market has recorded a remarkable growth in the recent years and is now on expansion mode extending their business in to other Gulf countries; recently launched their operation in Muscat Sultanate of Oman.

Steered by enterprising, youthful Mangalorean Businessman Harish Sherigar who is well known in the social & community circles, Acme is also embarking on diversifying their activities and has prudently selected Media as the new segment and the first step in this direction is to partner with Gulf’s leading Kannada news website www.gulfkannadiga.com founded & managed by veteran social worker & professional B.G.Mohandas

Thus born a new star on the horizon – ACME VISION.

As a step forward, the Duo of Harish & beeji planned a new English language site www.kannadigaworld.com  (Connecting Kannadigas around the world) as an extension of service to the present Kannada site. Web Mater Alan D’Souza a young & brilliant software engineer hailing from Moodabidri and presently serving in Kuwait, who created Gulf Kanandiga took up the task in right earnest and carved a vibrant & exciting a tabloid look website which for sure will satisfy the need of the millions of Kannadigas in the world.

Gulfkannadiga.com widely known as the brain child of the well-known Kannadiga B.G. Mohandas ( Former-President of Karnataka Sangha Dubai & Indian Pharmaceutical forum, UAE) is the only Kannada website to date to have large number of viewers hitting the site on a daily basis.  ‘beeji’ as he is popularly known Mohandas has been honoured with various awards by many Karnataka Associations in the Gulf for his good deeds and his ardent love to Kannada.  However, recently when he whispered with Harish Sherigar about the closing of Gulfkannadiga.com, the later with his broad heart convinced BG that he will take up his mission forward with a new vision.  And that is how Acme Vision is born as briefed by B.G. Mohandas in his opening speech while he thanked all those who were part of his vision & mission and introduced his Team mates to the audience.
