Tue, 18 May 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://static.esmt.org/pub/audio/ESMT_Lecture_IMF_outlook.mp3 ESMT Open Lecture Series Sunil Khilnani argued in his lecture that for years, standard Indian marketing strategy has been to make products desirable by projecting an aura of foreignness. In the lecture that was followed by an audience of more than 100 guests, he then showed the development of a new Indian self-confidence: "Consider this: as General Motors was sputtering into bankruptcy in its American homeland, its television ads in India didn't even hint at its cars' American provenance. Instead, those ads featured young men emerging out of a sunroof, waving an Indian flag as they sped over Mumbai's J J flyover." And he continued to say that marketing executives seem to grasp what some social commentators have been slow to realize. Indian-ness is becoming its own status marker. More crucially, India has become a place where its own people are satisfied to be. Thu, 22 Apr 2010 00:00:00 +0100 http://static.esmt.org/pub/audio/OL-100415-Sunil-Khilnani-ESMT.mp3 with C.B.
