It was in the early nineties that India Inc. woke up to the “business of B-Schools”. A liberalizing economy needed managers to manage the organisations that were mushrooming all over the country.

According to the latest HRD report (in Lok Sabha), there are 3,644 business schools in the country offering MBA and 308 institutions offering PGDM; this after the spate of ‘B-school shutdown’ in the last decade.

Today, the times have changed and so has the element of competition in the advertising industry. But one thing that has remained constant throughout is the end-objective of creating an impact on the audience. It is this impact that I seek to analyse in this article.
