Q: Who from the Indian A&M ecosystem do you think would make a good influencer? Name any five people
A: Are you a well-wisher of mine or do you want to put me in a spot, like you often like to do. I surely don’t want to make enemies in the industry by not naming someone. Having said that, there are many people from my perspective who have impressed me in the past and even now. These are people who I would like to hear just as a young adult would go to experience an Ed Sheeran or Arijit Singh concept.
So who are these people? In no random order, five each in three categories of people who are part of the A&M ecosystem:
Corporates:
Nitin Paranjpe
Sanjiv Mehta
Suresh Narayanan
Aditya Puri
Deepak Parekh
Advertising:
Piyush Pandey
R Balki
Prasoon Joshi
Sam Balsara
CVL Srinivas
Films & Sports:
Amitabh Bachchan
MS Dhoni
Virat Kohli
Zeenat Aman
Sharmila Tagore
There are many other names that come to my mind. Also, each one of us, in a big or small way, is an influencer. But that would be boring for you, right?
