Lenskart’s Peyush Bansal on the campaign featuring Karan Johar & celebrity entrepreneurship

I'm not a celebrity entrepreneur and I don't have aspirations to be one. Therefore, initially I was hesitant. They tried to convince me to be a part of the ad and after consulting a friend – the director of Shark Tank, I considered the risks and decided to do it. I saw the film for the first time when I was on vacation in New York with my family. I was sitting with a few people, and I played the ad. Everyone there unanimously rated me 11 out of 10. So then I thought ‘okay we can air this now’.

Peyush Bansal, co-founder and CEO, Lenskart talks about why he doesn’t consider himself a celebrity founder/entrepreneur and how the brief to the creative agency was never to cast him in the ads alongside Karan Johar.

Britannia’s Marie Gold ad seeks to celebrate Women’s Day everyday

There is a lot of clutter this time round, especially on March 8. The idea of talking about Women’s Day a day later is unique and stands out. It conveys that while the celebrations have ended, the emotions and essence should continue. Even though the ad is about Women’s Day, it is expected to be watched by men and women. The simple and humble storyline is expected to generate a very positive response.

In an exclusive conversation with Storyboard18, Amit Doshi, chief marketing officer of Britannia, talks about the latest Women’s Day ad campaign and a startup contest that empowers women entrepreneurs.

Despite modest gains in representation over the last decade, women are still dramatically underrepresented in corporate setups, especially in senior leadership. While a recent McKinsey & Company study says that more businesses are prioritizing gender diversity, corporate culture and policies don't always reflect that - and it affects employee job satisfaction and the time they spend at the company.

A simple web search for the definition of leadership returns over 130 million results. But what stands out among all these millions of theories is the gradual shift in emphasis from “who” the leader is to “what” the leader does.
