Hate Digital Personalisation.
Everything is templated and personalised in the digital world. It is crippling the randomness of life and coding your subconscious with biases.
Juggernaut digital reading with my Rules.
Juggernaut, Digital Book Reading Vs. The Real Experience. It is still taking me time. I am slowly getting there with help from Juggernaut. The Kindle-wielding population may not see what is exciting about this. It is just another app. I never liked reading books digitally. Somehow I miss the feeling that comes with holding a… Read More »
India Needs GDPR; Because A No Should Mean No.
Seeing the message ‘You have been unsubscribed’ gives that momentarily feeling of Moksha. You think you have won the battle against spams and personalised unwarranted e-mails.

I have time and again thought about such a possibility, parallel universe, good vs evil, anti net, mysterious net… Read More »
Stop writing the print epitaph.
Last week, newspapers were in focus. I read this article ‘What If the Newspaper Industry Made a Colossal Mistake?’ by Jack Shafer, POLITICO’s senior media writer and ‘The Slow, Painful Death of the Media’s Cash Cow’ by Megan McArdle, Bloomberg View columnist. They made some valid points. The inference was too simplistic. According to them… Read More »
Do you have a combat strategy for a completely naked market?
This is a time of great anxiety for the marketers. The traditional synchronised product development process that they so wisely learnt and understood was never a complex process.
