    The Smartphone Revolution

    Just like the automobile became a cultural artefact in the beginning of the twentieth century, leading to a social and cultural revolution across the world, the mobile phone is doing just the same in India. Not only has it led to an unprecedented growth in the economy, it has also become an agent of social change. For most Indians, the smartphone is their computer, private TV screen, portable music player, gaming station and camera all rolled into one. If you go into the heart and hinterland of India, you will notice the centrality of the mobile phone and how this tiny device becomes the primary source of identity and authority. To hear more of how the mobile phone has changed the social and cultural fabric of our country, do tune into this super interesting conversation I have with Anil Nair, CEO of VMLY&R.

    The Perfectly Imperfect Mom

    Today's moms are calm, composed and collected. They have their emotions in check..or atleast on Instagram! From being the drill sergeant or helicopter parent of the past, they are a lot more real and embracing of their own imperfections. Possibly because of their own emerging sense of identity and their need to voice their parallel lives. Are brands and marketers representing this shift well enough? Are we allowing this evolution in media? Are we contributing to growing a healthier narrative around motherhood and parenting? Find out in this very interesting conversation I have with Priya Lobo, CEO, Ormax and also a fellow researcher and mom.

This is a generation who is holidaying, buying cars, homes even and generally enjoying the fruits of their hard work. Yet, this market remains untapped by most categories. Are we so fascinated and fixated on the millennial and Gen Z generations to completely4 miss out on this great goldmine opportunity that lies untapped? Are brands and marketers really understanding the shifting realities of this consumer cohort? Are we in sync with the cultural and emotional shifts that this generation has gone through to come to this position of optimism and opportunity? Find out in this very interesting conversation I have with Ambi Parameswaran, Brand Coach, Author and a celebrated columnist & thought leader.

But there's a lot more that can be done. Tune in to hear this interesting conversation on how brands can promote the (un)filtered movement of beauty.
