How The Sustainable Supply Chain At Marico Works - Pooja, TISS Mumbai

Did you know that Marico buys 1 out of every 25 coconuts produced in India? Before joining Marico as a fieldwork intern, I certainly didn’t.

In my previous article, I tried to understand the values that Marico stands for.

Celebrity Endorsements Scale A New Height - Views From Prabhakar

Celebrity Endorsements Scale A New Height - Views From Prabhakar

Yes, celebrity endorsements have scaled a new height. A new height of ridicule that is. Most people in New Delhi were stunned when they opened their morning newspaper to find a greying, bearded Pierce Brosnan in his role as James Bond holding a pack of Pan Bahar. The film shows Brosnan in the role of a Bollywood Bond, attacking crusaders a bit like Don Quixote, swishing his box of Pan Bahar like a sword. While a female Sancho Panza coyly looks on with admiration. The film ends with him taking the position of the Bollywood SPECTRE leader and dislodging him from his chair in a quick motion while his opponents bite the dust. A stunt that Bruce Lee would have found difficult to emulate. Brosnan ends it with 'Class never goes out of style'. Strange tagline for a product that is banned in many Indian states.
