India’s next wave of ‘startup’ growth could easily emerge from within established businesses. This model of ‘intrapreneurship,’ empowers employees to innovate from within, is lean, scalable & aligned with shareholder interests. My op-ed in today's @livemint Link in comments.

Brilliant recovery by @astronomerio using Gwyneth Paltrow as a temporary spokie. She cleverly cuts off Q&As: “OMG what the actual f—” and “How is your social media team holding—" to deftly shift focus back to brand. Masterclass in crisis recovery PR! Well played. #coldplayed

What an amazing vinyl listening session with drummer-composer & jazz musician Tarun Balani at the Sabha in B’lore’s Shivaji Nagar. A straight-from-the-heart conversation about a deeply personal album: Kadahin Milandaasin, that had the audience spell bound.

Bangalore Airport now has an ‘Elite Matrimony’ kiosk with a service representative. Seems like one can even match-make or find a life-partner/spouse, while waiting for your flight.🙄

Well played, Deccan Herald! 😊🤔

Brilliant come back from @astronomerio using Gwyneth Paltrow as temp spokie. She cleverly cuts off Q&As: “OMG what the actual f—” & “How is your social media team holding—" to expertly shift focus back to brand. Masterful crisis recovery! Well played.

Often, you can unleash stuff that's not even written in there... these AI ➕️ Human combos may work even better? @MenakaGuruswamy @LloydMathias @KapilSibal ? This will be worth looking at.

Has anyone else noticed the number of tweets about the US by Indians on X have reduced drastically, since the US Embassy made it clear they need social media accounts made public with visa applications? 🤔 Clearly our forthright “liberals” remain liberal ONLY up to a point!

Wow! Impressive growth on an insanely large base.👏👏👏 But on a separate note, just the kind of note someone at the helm sends just before…… another BIG announcement.😉 Save this tweet!

Clearly @HomeCentreIndia’s customer service is broken! Their website claims products bought on-line can be returned at any nearby physical store; but the store at Home Centre, Richmond Rd, B’lore does NOT honour this. Now after forcing them to take goods back- no refund to date!

An amazing move for colas, this one from Pepsi. Moving from essentially a FUN/INDULGENCE segment to HEALTH!🙄 Some may see it as stretching the category’s relevance almost to a breaking point! As a former cola warrior 🙋🏻‍♂️, I find it a bit gut-wrenching! What do you think?

When I began my career in sales 1988, we were strictly prohibited from traveling to Gadchiroli - as it was severe naxalite🛑 area. Nice to see that Gadchiroli is now turning into an industrial zone. #naxalfreeindia 🇮🇳 DISCLOSURE: I have nothing to do with LLOYDS METALS!😊

Invaluable info for businesses, startups and brands for their digital & mainstream film production.👇

What’s the JD for the VPs role?🤔#justasking #JagdeepDhankhar
