Read Chapter 1: The Pencil and the Predicament
Inspired by real-istic events from my career in India’s marketing world… But quite a few details changed…
A story about what happens when fresh ideas meet old ways, set in 2008 Pune when digital was just a buzzword and startups were still a dream.
Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or actual events is purely coincidental.
[What’s Inside] This chapter brings you:
- The daily life in a traditional market research firm (yes, there’s a special pencil involved)
- A young MBA grad’s attempt to shake things up with YouTube marketing (way before it was cool)
- Authentic glimpses of Pune life – from Vohuman’s legendary bun maska to FC Road’s parking chaos
- Dash of mystery that hints at bigger things to come
