What is it about advertising he likes so much Sunil Gupta Advertising is a right brain activity the art of creating something from scratch. Also advertising is all about understanding and connecting with people. He seems very much a people person somebody who likes to tell stories rather than play with numbers. For some people numbers speak but I don’t think numbers speak to him. I give him a lot of credit for realizing this early on. Back in the s a Citibank offer was like a golden ticket in India. his parents were very upset when he did. Q You have a fascinating exchange where Kapur tells you what it was like to work at an ad firm in India which in the s and even beyond was America Cell Phone Number List still feeling the vestiges of the British Raj. He says “… if you spoke English with a slight ‘ho ho’ accent then you were better off in the advertising business and you rose in the advertising business. … It worked for everyone. We all acquired a slight accent at that time.” A India got its independence in and even in the s the country was still very heavily influenced by the British Raj. I learned in the interview that the people the advertising industry in India was hiring in s were all English speaking and English educated graduates from St. Stephen’s College and other elite schools of India that were more like British schools that Prince Harry would go to.
