If you know anything about me you will know that I am border-line obsessed with India. The reason started out as somewhat silly. (don’t laugh – ever since I was a very young girl, I thought I was Indian in my past life), but overtime it has evolved into something so much more.
To me India represents a country bound with Entrepreneurial spirit, technological savvy, Social Media Independence (India led the world in most Facebook signups this year), and rich culture. It is a place that I have been dying to go to. So, when I was asked to be a part of the World Brand Congress, I jumped with Sari in hand on the opportunity.
The World Brand Congress is a meeting place for leaders from every sector and continent, featuring over 500 of the world’s branding and marketing elite under one roof. The event takes place November 22nd – November 24th, 2010 in Mumbai, India. The lineup includes superstars in the global brand sphere and I am honored to be a part of it.
As part of the Congress’ Advisory Council it is my job to nominate different people and leaders in different arenas.
