WELCOME TO INDIA, THE LAND OF DIVERSITY, COMPLEXITY, CHALLENGES AND OPPORTUNITY! Understanding the Indian consumer is a tricky business. In a country where language and culture vary every few kilometres, the conventional rules of marketing and selling don't apply. It's a market where successful international brands had to shut shop while many smaller, lesser-known brands made fortunes by decoding the Indian consumer. So, what does it really take to succeed in the great Indian mela and win consumers? In Pragmarketism, Trupti and Arvind Bhandari address this opportunity for all business builders, gleaned from their collective experience of forty-five years of managing more than thirty brands across several blue-chip companies. Blending Western theories with Eastern ethos, Pragmarketism offers solutions for: Shaping an inspiring vision for your company. Building brands soaked in Indian sociological realities. Framing desi segmentation, targeting and positioning. Modelling your digital strategy in a noisy, dynamic environment. Implementing 'breakthrough innovation' frameworks. And finally, syncing all critical functions to deliver value to consumers. Drawing from successful brands in FMCG, durables, media and other industries, the book offers unprecedented insights on succeeding in the world's most exciting market.

Why do we suffer? What is the way out of suffering? What is the purpose of life? And what is the ultimate truth? Vardhamaan Mahavir, the last Jain Tirthankara, did not begin his life as a saint. A prince and a householder, he renounced the world as a youth, seeking to realize himself. Why would a man leave his kingdom and family to wander naked across impossible terrain for twelve long years, exposing himself to hard penance and the harshest circumstances? Was his journey worth the pain he suffered and perhaps inflicted on those closest to him? Such questions plague the mind of Priyadarshini, Mahavir’s young daughter, as she journeys with her mother, Queen Yashoda, to meet the man the world knows as the enlightened one, but in whom she sees only the father who abandoned her. Yet, as the girl grapples with her contempt for him, she is drawn into a deeper spiritual inquiry. In visions her mother shares with her, Priyadarshini traverses Mahavir’s past lives, and eventually arrives at a profound understanding of the true essence of the man who conquered the world by conquering himself. Drawing on rarely accessed Jain texts, Mahavir is an inspirational tale of the making of a spiritual master that raises age-old questions as relevant to the modern reader as they were in Mahavir’s time.

Brands are everywhere. We may love them, or despise them, or even disparage them, but we can't be indifferent to their invasive presence in our lives. Today, brand managers, fresh out of campus, are either clueless about what they are supposed to do; or are besieged with baggage from the past that handicaps them from expressing their point of view. As a result, they end up being contained, complying with legacy views and practices, thereby perpetuating the mediocrity of the past. In reality, brand-building can be fun, creative and highly rewarding. This book aims to take all kinds of brand custodians on an enriching journey, so they can delight consumers, generate revenue for their company and positively impact their careers.

The definitive biography of one of Indian cinema's biggest icons Arguably the greatest star of Bengali cinema, Suchitra Sen mesmerized audiences for years, before withdrawing from the public gaze and refusing to emerge in the limelight in the last decade of her life. In this nuanced biography, Shoma Chatterji unveils the two different dimensions of the Suchitra Sen persona: as a legendary romantic star with an audience pull spanning over two decades, and her slow but steady metamorphosis into a powerful performing artist through films like Deep Jele Jai, Hospital, Mamta and Aandhi who could seamlessly and effortlessly essay completely different characters without the on-screen partnership of Uttam Kumar. Award-winning author and film critic Shoma Chatterji presents a fascinating portrait of an icon of Indian cinema, addressing two significant elements that have not been touched by other writers: Suchitra Sen as a working woman in films and her wilful social seclusion.

What makes Piyush Pandey an extraordinary advertising man, friend, partner and leader of men? How does he manage to exude childlike enthusiasm, and bring such deep commitment to his work? You’ve seen most of the things that Piyush Pandey has seen in his life. You’ve seen cobblers, carpenters, cricketers, trains, villages, towns and cities. What makes Piyush different is the perspective from which he views the same things you’ve seen, his ability to store all that he sees into some recesses of his brain and then retrieve them at short notice when he needs to. That ability combined with his love, passion and understanding of advertising and of consumers make him the master storyteller that he is. In Pandeymonium, Piyush talks about his influences, right from his childhood in Jaipur and being a Ranji cricketer, to his philosophy, failures and lessons in advertising in particular and life in general. Lucid, inspiring and unputdownable, this memoir gives you an inside peek into the mind and creative genius of the man who defines advertising in India.

So you think you are the person in the mirror. That time should be put to use savagely. That happiness is elusive, and goals are best achieved by extracting from nature. Hang on. In fact, hang your views upside down for a counter perspective. Where your closest representation is the universe. Time is best utilized not when filled in but when emptied out. Where mere aligning with nature secures your goal, where happiness can be bred in your backyard, where…. Inverted won’t just yield a better view. It will enhance your life too.
