Kapoor: designing inspirational sarees and staying focused. The key to success is simple. Get going. Deshpande tells the audience how crucial the design function is.
Motwani: racing to keep up with time and, at the same time, giving a human face to a brand. Some interesting questions from an involved audience kept the panelists on their toes.
Barjatya: it’s all in the opening week - making content available to the audience faster. Speed and the art of networking: speakers enjoying a tete-atete during a break.
Kumar: research and planning need to go hand-in-hand. Speed to market is like the Twenty20 game. Pall: in defence of research agencies. Don’t blame research agencies for brand failures.
Pant: integrating research as part of company policies, allocating budgets and integrating with markets are all important. Sachdev: choosing quality over speed - that was his mantra of success.
Khanna: taking the rough with the smooth, especially when it is a product like insurance. Jain: defining the food business and dancing. Casual dining is the operative word.
