Can We Change the Direction of The Coming Wave?
Just finished reading an absorbing book on AI by one of its leading practitioners, and I was hoping it wouldn’t be one of those rapturous, ra-ra kind of books on the subject. Thankfully, The Coming Wave by Mustafa Suleyman, founder of DeepMind which Google acquired, and Inflection AI, isn’t one of those kinds of books;… Continue reading Can We Change the Direction of The Coming Wave?

Sometime during the Covid-19 pandemic – not a great time for wining and dining, or travel and socialising – I had put my thoughts down on a corporate brand strategy for Pernod Ricard, the world’s No. 2 wines and spirits company. I wrote and shared this on my blog along with corporate campaigns for the… Continue reading Pernod Ricard and Seagram: Reconsidering the Brand Relationship
Lilliput Land Big on Message, Short on Meaning
Having read Rama Bijapurkar’s first book, We Are Like This Only way back in 2007-08 in Delhi, I was looking forward to reading this new book of hers called Lilliput Land: How Small is Driving India’s Mega Consumption Story.
