But beyond experience, titles, and functional expertise, there is one critical ingredient that often determines whether a brand truly wins: an unquit heart.

    S10E01: Branding Reflections
    Oct 23 2025
    After a journey of nearly 100 brands over 30 years, partnering with numerous leaders around the world; it is time to sit back and reflect on the branding moments and the threads that connect them. Behind every brand success story that resulted in a big win, every failure that gave birth to big learning driving future wins, there are hidden stories of branding do’s and do-not’s. Unlike in other areas of business, in branding, pushing today’s do-not’s often opens the door for future big wins. So here it is, a season marking my reflections into branding nostalgia, blended with conversations with special guests, and ready to find nuggets that will enlighten us in the journey forward. Key takeaways for this season include: Brand differentiation: What makes your brand unique? Brand fulfillment: Living the brand, not just talking about it. Businesses are built by wow one more: Wowing one more customer. Brand strategy and marketing strategy: Using your one-of-one brand positioning. Brand communication: Effectively communicating expectations and perceptions. Brand storytelling: Telling your one-of-one unique brand story that connects to customers.

    S09E08: Now I Want To Talk! with VIP Guest Partha Sinha
    Jan 23 2025
    Partha Sinha is the President of the Times of India Group, one of the most influential media groups of India. He’s a seasoned leader with proven track record in the brand, media, digital and communication space. Ex Citibanker, ex VP Strategy Ogilvy, ex marketing chief Zee Telefilms, ex head of strategy SE Asia for Publicis, ex Managing Partner BBH, ex MD and Vice Chairman, McCann WordGroup. In 2020, I asked Partha to connect me to a few people for my podcast. He connected me to one of India’s top directors, Shoojit Sircar. The podcast with Shoojit turned into ongoing chat over the next two years. When Shoojit first talked about making a movie on me, I thought this was the biggest prank Partha had played on me. It was the connection from him that set the ball rolling for the movie, I Want To Talk. I was very excited that Partha and his wife Chaitali were the first to see the movie outside of the core group. In this podcast, Partha, a brilliant mind who guided the conversation so effortlessly into the depth of the heart, but never making it too serious. Thank you Partha for being you, always. Here are some key insights from this week’s show: Life is never over till it is over. “I Want to Talk” is a story of crossing one hurdle at a time. You play differently when you know you are going to win the game. The screen Arjun had the advantage of knowing that he will make it in the end. Sometimes bad ideas can trigger amazing ideas. Talking comes with responsibility. Words once spoken, are out there forever. If we give up, we will never know what life can bring for us.

    S09E07: Simple Brilliance with VIP Guest Pearle Dey
    Jan 21 2025
    Pearle is a very talented young actor who played the role of Baby Reya in the movie ‘I Want To Talk’. It was fascinating to see young Pearle be at the center of the movie for the first hour, charming us with her presence and one liners. This amazing kid, who we all called ‘the real boss’ during filming, made the journey of making the movie unforgettable. Here are some key insights from this week’s show: I felt very shy when I met the director Shoojit Sircar for the first time. I just like to act, I don't like seeing myself on the screen. Once I saw the movie, I felt nervous and happy, but also scared and excited. This movie is very meaningful. It says, “Keep fighting! Never give up!” I am happy when someone cracks a good joke.

Ya Jaane Na (2008) and Ru-Ba-Ru (2008) among others. Our path crossed during his most recent work was in the critically acclaimed movie by Shoojit Sircar, I Want to Talk, as Dr. Deb. It was an interesting conversation with the person who saw the character ‘Arjun Sen’ in the movie from up close. His reflections and questions after living the movie were simply fascinating. Here are some key insights from this week’s show: Playing a cynical, yet sympathetic character was an experiment for me. I got a learning on human behavior by doing this film. If you’ve got your eye on the ball, you really can’t go wrong. When we get out of our own way, we get on much better in life.
