My 25th Big Bang and it gets better every year. As Chairman of the Big Bang Awards Committee of The Advertising Club Bangalore, it gives me great joy to see the new creative talent that emerges every year from the industry where I spent 36 years of my professional career.

Starting out with SHITIJ 2023 - 24, Phase III: Startup Visiblity Primer. Through this series, startups will get an understanding of branding & marketing. Welcoming our first speaker Malavika Harita, Founder & CEO of Brand Circle and a Resident Mentor at the NSRCEL, IIM-B.

WonderPreneurs in Namma Karnataka. I had the most enjoyable and humbling experience last week when I amentored 15 women from all over rural Karnataka working across handlooms, leather artefacts, tailoring and wood-work.  An initiative of NSRCEL, IIMB and the Karnataka Government

There are no glass ceilings ladies. If you feel any smash them. One of the lessons I Iearnt watching the Republic Day Parade today. And I am prouder than ever to be an Indian. Jai Hind!

Visiting Tanzania, I was struck by the natural resources, the breathtaking scenery, haphazard urbanization and stark poverty. Building Fintech, Edtech and Agritech capabilities is the only way for Africa to leapfrog into the 21st century. Like in we have done in “Hamara Bharat”.

Executive ROI I have been working with several senior managers in India and abroad and I see in them a desire and a sense of urgency to improve their skills and learn new ones which will ensure what I call their ROI. Relevance, Originality and Impact in today’s VUCA world.
